Diablo 2 Resurrected nailed the diablo aesthetic with modern 3d graphics. This looks like a korean mobile game by comparison. The camera isn't even proper isometric.
this
how could they go from recreating an artstyle the majority of people were more or less content with for D2R, back to the mobile-game wow-infused oversaturated garbage that basically everyone hated about D3
It boggles the mind
Different target demographics. D2R was to try and milk money from 30-40 year olds who felt burned by D3. D4 is for college-age zoomers with mommy money and no self control, and hopeless blizz whales who will throw money at shiny colors because they are functionally moronic
>they would shit themselves with excitement
Maybe on the first day they see it, but afterwards they would shit on Blizzard forever because it looks like fricking Mu online
On a technical level, sure. After getting over the initial wow-factor of going from 2D sprites to high resolution 3D assets, they'd hate the aesthetics too.
Why do devs always make a big deal about "we went back to the original games"? His example was seeing what the enemies were called in the game, it would take like 10 seconds on some random wiki to check that.
It's just the mics. Noises like that, no matter where they're from, show up clear as day on microphones and you have to make an effort to mitigate them. They apparently didn't.
>"yeah bro we like totally took inspiration from the Diablo 1 crypts and recreated it in the Diablo 4 engine" >cut to muddy, contrastless mobile game footage >"that's awesome I love Diablo 1 :---]"
I picked up on that. Maybe they were talking about a different place but honestly there is nothing close to d1 dark and horror themes in this preview. The monster design they showed early in dev was the closest we had.
The picture I posted was is literally from 2008, the same month the first screenshots were shown you absolute fricking moron.
We all shat on its garbage cartoony art direction.
Black person, D3 was mocked hard for being WoWlike cartoony, the devs were literally so butthurt they put in the pony level as a frick you to the complainers.
It even had journoswine shills talking about how muh cartoony was betterer because it just is ok.
Son, youre complaining about aesthetics while being shit on by other d3 problems. D3 has problems, bigger problems.
I bet youre the same guy complaining about walking simulators having no gameplay, you dumb frick.
This is a successor to diablo 3 not diablo 2. It will be fun for like 3 days after hitting max level and grinding out a set and some paragon levels. No fog of war, brainless itemization, and water down rpg elements
It's like they learnt nothing, or they took everyone's complaints about D3's saturday-morning-kid-show design fundamentals and just opted for the most superficial approach to appeasing them as possible
All the environmental details look so blocky and indistinct, like something cobbled quickly from stock assets, tinged with a smudgy generic lighting system
In D2, they made an effort to make the environments look sharp and menacing, with every crevice of every tomb or cave lined in malicious shadows that didn't just blur into the muddy corner. It wasn't perfect, and the environments are low-res and dated today, but its still a million times more foreboding than this
The most maddening thing of all is that the D2remaster actually looks really good compared to this tripe
>The game being dark and gritty was too inaccessible to a broad audience
That doesn't even make sense in light of shit like Elden Ring or House of the Dragon. If anything normies love dark and gritty nowadays.
The game not being dark isn't a problem. Something dull grey and dreary would get really boring to look at after a few hours. That aesthetic and ui is such fricking trash however. There's no cohesion between the characters and environments.
homie I don't have any faith in them
If you do then you have problems with pattern recognition
If THQ(or whatever they call themselves now) to do an arpg I would actually be excited

Whoa Actobliz lied and are shitting out another sub par product that people will buy day 1 regardless. You better get it day 1 anon, even though this is definitely the last chance you are giving them not to mess it up again!
Because they want to mention the non D3 and mobile trash games to con people who liked the series before it took a nosedive to buy the game then realize it's actually just Diablo 3.1 because as long as you bought it they don't really give a frick.

I can already tell you that Lilith will be the fake out not final boss we face but don't kill in the third act and then we team up with her to kill Inarius who is the real big bad and the game ends with Lilith becoming girl boss of hell and promising only to punish humans who deserve it like racists.
Diablo won't be a boss. A few purists will cry but they'll be largely drowned out by shills saying Diablo is just the genre and having you kill a demon named diablo was kind of racist against hispanic culture anyway.

The most surprising thing to me is my complete lack of interest in this game from the start. It's clear Blizz was going to frick it up again, but I thought I'd be at least interested to return to one of my favourite franchises, but it's completely dead. I'm just really surprised how dead this franchise is for me now, and how quickly it happened.
Yeah
Ever since that blizcon immortal showcase I always felt like they had >fiiiiiiiine we will make a "normal" diablo
Attitude
They didn't want to make it
i'm actually starting to regret my preorder. i told myself to wait until first patch but couldn't wait because there's nothing to fricking play. god damn it

Clown world.
You know, people shit on diablo 3 but this shit looks so much worse.
Sure, diablo 3 looked more like torchlight but it still looked good and plays great. D3 was very smooth and in previous trailers D4 was the same.
But this shit just looks really fricking terrible....
Not him but it looks like it sucks by having Diablo 3's itemization instead of Diablo 2's items. Diablo 3's was lackluster and watered down. After a certain point the +% don't work because you need actual +raw damage, or various other effects that diablo 2 did that diablo 3 didn't. By level 80 in D2 you can get the same items to drop that you were getting before, but now they have like +5 sockets and you can do insane stuff to the gear. All Diablo 3 gave was the silly cube thing and too many bullet sponge elite monsters that just spit out acid and walls.
It is so odd that there are people without souls who can't understand the satisfying feeling of an inventory system like this
You pick up a big fricking rare quality axe that fills up two columns and you're like yeah that's a big fricking meaty axe and it looks nice too I can't wait to try this shit out on some demon Black folk
>big fricking meaty axe >it's actually a one-handed sword that does nothing but takes up the same space as a two-handed zwei because frick your inventory, that's why
The 1h sword in your pic takes 50% more space than a claymore. And that makes sense?
why does it have to make sense? The items are designed around game mechanics, not real world size of the item. A crystal sword can have up to 6 sockets, so it needs to take up 6 squares in your inventory. A 2 handed sword that takes only 1 row of 4 squares can only get 4 sockets.

>What the frick is happening to game developers?
Covid-19 pandemics, social distancing, mask wearing, vaccines, was all pushed from Roman Catholic church / Popes on American Presidents since Reagan to find a cure for homosexuality related disease (AIDS) for Africans to deliver Africans from sexual diseases instead of telling them about Jesus.
So game developers is politics? Weird, when did that happen?
Oh wait, didn't all game companies suddenly start pushing Democrat politics when they started posting BLM banners for Africans?
Makes me wonder what the frick is going on at Blizzard.
Do they actually think they can trick people by saying one thing and showing another, or were they at some point trying to make a Diablo game that's more like Diablo but then someone said "no make this one like Diablo 3/Immortal we need to make more money and those did better than D2 Remastered"
I’m curious about all the other footage. Not gonna lie, all the gameplay with every new clip was looking more and more like D3, but this one doesn’t even look like the same engine as the original D3 clips - models, lighting, levels, animations everything looks different. Did they just add a bunch of filters on top of that, did they completely scrap the original.
It’s so confusing.
>It’s so confusing
It's not confusing at all. You are looking at the CONSOLE version of the game. It's completely downgraded to support 4 player couch co-op and so that it can run on the Switch. The PC version will still look the same as all the other footage.
It has the same artstyle, but it lacks things like dynamic lighting, proper shaders, better textures, has less gamma and highlights, and so on. The console version is made with the Switch in made + made with the "people will sit on a couch 10-20 feet away from their TV" in mind + made with "we need to have bright colors to separate players easily due to couch co-op" in mind.

I can't say I really give a shit. It's not like a little fondling would make the game better or worse.
Of course, we could talk of the state of the videogame industry as a whole and the complete talent drain that has been ongoing for decades.
>ARPGs are going to be eternally stuck between mindlessly emulating the worst aspects of D2 and making chink mobile game garbage
This genre is fricking cursed.
I don't get how people play these homosexual games. You literally do the exact same thing over and over. Go to some new dungeon, click on enemy over and over, teleport back to town when your inventory is filled and then teleport back. What could people possibly be dissatisfied with with the new games? How can there be even less than there is in Diablo 2 when there is already nothing to do?
>Go to some new dungeon, click on enemy over and over,
Stopped reading at the first part "homosexual games." Blizzard games were always good PC games.
Diablo 2 Barbarian is actually engaging and interesting. You've obviously never played it.
You get the Shout skills first because they are on the first tab. You use taunt on the Shamans to draw them to you and on the goblins to make them stop running from you. You use the intimidating shout to make trash get off of you so you can focus on bosses. This means there is back and forth between left and right clicks, and it requires some part on your part to read what enemy elites are and that requires being good with the mouse, during a time when there was mechanical ball mice. Optical laser made it easier, but they should have still suck with the system the game originally had.
Once you have set your routine you will do it mindlessly for hours. I can explain in greater detail how to solve the first level in mario bros and it will sound more complicated than the simple chain you tried to sell as elaborate gameplay. And this doesn't even answer the question what you are dissatisfied about in the sequels.
Diablo 2 is an action game, yes, and you are meant to beat the game and quit. Any further playing is stroking it for something to do.

Based. I genuinely can’t comprehend how people can automatically play the same game like this for years and not get bored.
Souls, Bethesda and Blizzard gays are genuinely subhuman.
You’re delusional.
Diablo was always a lawnmower simulator. Early levels in D1 and 2 can be quite methodical and slow but once it ramps up you’re just killing waves of enemies and dunking potions mindlessly. I remember playing late game Hellfire and I wasn’t even looking at what I’m hitting I was staring at my health orb making sure I heal on time.
>it's just 3 again >even the artstyle looks like slightly edgier 3
Despite how shit PoE has gotten over the recent years I'll sooner go back to that than spend a dime on D4.
Why do they still insist with this fricking moronic legendary system?
it was trash in D3 and it's going to be trash in D4
no actual skill tree
just fricking GARBAGE
Anon please, PoE was good like 15 years ago. Its shit now. Every season the new build is just one aoe ability and going into talents that buff said ability.
Stop acting as if its acceptable anymore, even Diablo 3 got better while PoE stagnated.
Sadly the best arpg right now is the Warhammer one. And even then its just alright.
>Every season
Do they actually add new content and levels or it’s it just constant shuffling of abilities while you keep replaying same randomized rifts over and over again like in D3?
Yes. I don’t care about Diablo since Diablo 2, but D3 has been a comfy coop experience to play with my GF.
So I’m excited for this one too since there’s not many couch games nowadays.
At least pick a good game like first person shooters that are action games with physics and combat and big men protagonists, and not be a hamster.

Okay, but did I ever insinuate that you CAN'T stroke it after for something to do? I'm not advocating you to go out and make fun of the nerds that got made fun of in Junior High for playing Diablo II. I used to know a kid who got called Master Bates. Frick off. I was friends with that nerd and I was starting on O and D in football.
>I didn't do what he said
The point is that you don’t need to. You can do a lot of complex stuff in a lot of games. But it’s it’s just as effective as cloning one button and looking the other way - it’s a shit game.
Complex mechanics that are in no way required to play the game and completely useless.
>I was staring at my health orb making sure I heal on time.

>inferior in platformers >inferior in fighting games >horrific garbage in any game with a 3d camera >not even possible to use in RTS or Strategy
at least you guys get analog inputs for racing games I guess
lolno, the gameplay almost always needs to be automated to fit controllers. You're just one of those drooling moron playing FPS with an aimbot not even noticing the game is playing itself.
I hate how recent games make all shadows either grey out or a mute hue. It's always just low contrast wishy-washy and hurts your eyes. Indie games are doing the same currently.
It’s hilarious that early access was accessible at a discount, because you’re playing an unfinished game.
Now people are willingly paying money to pre-beta-test the game. Absolutely pathetic.
Gamers deserve everything that happened to the industry.
>refund
But you won’t.
You’ll play-test it for me, wait for all the issues to be fixed like a good little cuck, and then proceed to play the game like everyone else. Knowing that you’ve paid with your money and time for QA that Blizzard didn’t bother to have.
I pre-order and refund pre-order exclusive betas all the time. I have told my entire friend group if I am unhappy with the beta, I'm out. Blizzard hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt in over a decade.
It looks EXACTLY like Diablo 3, if someone showed me that footage I would just think it was Diablo 3.
Last Epoch even in it's unfinished mess looks way better and ahead of Diablo 4.
memes aside, there's a couple things that are pretty clear. >console UI means characters have extra UI indicators >brightness turned up for some reason >diablo 3 with a coat of paint
all in all, eh. ill play it tomorrow and decide if I'm refunding or not.
>NOOOO WHY ISN'T THE GAME BROWN AND BLOOM LIKE A PS3 GAME???
I'm going to watch you cope and seethe as the game breaks sales records and becomes one of the best selling games of all time just like Diablo 3 did.
Holy frick it looks like shit. What happened in the last year? The first footage from that one event where people were uploading the starting area looked nothing like this.
Fricking disgraceful. I fricking hate the moronic "you don't do damage until you hit for 100 trillion gajillion" mindset so fricking much. The numbers become absolutely meaningless until you hit certain breakpoints. Just no attempt at all to make enemies dynamic instead of ridiculous health sponges.
>a variety of abilities that the player has to play around
Diablo 3 and 4 already have these. Monster affixes that actually have gameplay impact and aren't just higher stats.
Why are you posting about games you've literally never played?
those abilities ultimately mean nothing because the progression is designed around enemies having 5-billion health while the player is able to hit for 50 billion damage.
It’s even more hilarious when it starts to shorten to K and M so all you see is something like 2M popping up, going full circle eventually.
I think everyone should play Clicker Heroes at least once to see how soulless most games really are.
You have absolutely no idea how fast the game will or won't be, stop being moronic. Poe is ten times slower than that when you play for the first time without a build
>You have absolutely no idea how fast the game will or won't be, stop being moronic. Poe is ten times slower than that when you play for the first time without a build
That's level 100 gameplay with a build visibly intact moron
Who is this game even for?
If you were an older fan wanting back to roots darker Diablo, this game is a colorful as frick quicker clicker.
If you’re a new fan who liked colorful arcade Diablo, this game slid towards harder “realism” design and brutal aesthetics while complicating the gameplay fast-paced players liked.
Who is this for??
the moronic bommers that unironically play D3 on console, its one of the most popular games with millenials NPC and d4 will be able to monopolize them and scam them int o GaaS shit with season pass and microtransactions
bro these are facts, every single 30+ year old npc plays d3 and destiny 2 , these are the kind of moron that buy every game but never play it and justify the price hike by saying that 70$ for 6 hours of enterteinment its worth it because a night out on friday its 200$ and gives them 2 hours of fun, they are literally the mindless drones of america
I’m about to make you angry beyond the pale, but I actually liked D3. But that’s my point, for me it worked as an almost idler during downtime, but now, in a half-assed attempt to appeal to “hardcore old fans,” they’re adding complications to the turn-on-and-play quick loop.
BUT, this also doesn’t work for actual Diablo 2 fans because it’s still keeping the aesthetics and casualization of 3.
You half-ass appeal to both sides, but it works for neither.
its diablo and has blizzard on the title these morons played diablo immortal unironically, they have no standards and blizzard knows this, frick me the collector edition does not even include a game
Well you’re not wrong, but that’s sad.
I completely deleted Blizz stuff cuz I hated the China pandering despite loving it so much so I haven’t kept up.
That bit about the collector’s edition is hilarious. Please tell me it’s selling out.
the fake enthusiasm and laughter really confirms this as a tortanic. Theyre pretending they are having the time of their lives killing trash mobs that don't do any damage whatsoever.

They can only sell hype so many times. If people are getting repeatedly disappointed by the games you make, they are less likely to even botherno matter how big the advertising budget and hyped a new game is.
Fortunately (for them), D3 came out 11 years ago. That's long enough for an entire new customer base to be born and raised. They'll make billions from naive underages buying into the hype with mom's money. All these advertisement campaigns are aimed at adults so it's a lot harder for children without much life experience to resist them.
Did they really trick gamers into thinking there were actually 150 different dungeons to play in at end game when they really are just remixed procedural dungeons that have always existed since D2?
Of course they did. It's a great sales pitch honestly, selling you the same thing you've already had and been using for 20+ years as a new feature is brilliant.
1. Took far too long to capitalize on the trend of D2 but to be fair it's because they were still trying to refine it
2. Failed to recognize their own strengths and failures in a genre they largely pioneered with D1 and 2 when making D3 despite having years and years to analyze it
3. Tried to remake Diablo from the ground up with 3 while paying lip service to the things that made it the pure online crack
4. Excessive greed in the form of the RMAH that was never going to benefit the average player
5. Overkill in response to their overgreed by killing all trading after the AH went away, probably the worst decision in the entire process which is really saying something
6. Settling into a routine of being plagiarists instead of innovators after POE completely stole the pioneer role from Blizzard (for a time)
I played Diablo Immortal and it was easily the worst game I have ever played in my life. And I frequently play $1.99 games on Steam made with Unity Engine and refund them.
>didn't Blizzard get shut down in chinkland? How will they sell that many copies now?
Diablo 3 didn't come out in China until 2015, when it was approved by their ministry.
By the time D3 hit China the game had already sold over 30 million copies. Without China.
OMG IS THAT HECKING COUCH CO-OP OM,G MY FRICKING MATES AT UNI WILL FRICKING LUV DIS HAHA YESS BLIZZ IS BACKKKKK FUKING YAS I CAN PLAY ON THER COUCH? BUT ALSO WITH THE LADs? HAHHA FUKIN GOTY JUST LIKE FIFA HECKING YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Irrelevant boomer seethe from shitters who weren't going to play it anyway
As a reminder d3 is one of the best selling games of all time and d2 is nowhere close
more people are playing D2 than D3 right now though. The fact that D3 sold so well makes it even more pathetic that it's a completely dead game that nobody plays now. 30 million people could play D3 at any time but they all quit 10 years ago and haven't touched the game ever since.

>D3s popularity is objective reality moron, it sold millions and millions of copies
that's exactly proof how unpopular it is. It sold 30 million copies and only 16k players are playing it right now. Half of those are bots and there is also a big chunk of players who went back to D3 recently because they are hyped for D4. Previusly to D4 being on the horizon, D3 usually didn't even break 10k concurrent players on most week days.

uh oh someone needs to be spoonfeed about context and why it matters!
lmao, dude there are currently 16k players playing Diablo 3. Before D2R came out, OG Diablo 2 on the old battle.net would have 30k players at any given day of the week and time of the day. I don't own D2R but I bet that one also has at least as many players, if not more. Granted, half of those players are bots, but that's the same for D3.

Copl headcanon too bad you made it up
The only thing you're right about is d2 being all bots. Nobody is botting d3 because it's not a 3rd worlder rmt hub

What's there not to like?
Technically you should be able to, but just be warned that they can deny your refund at any time for any reason, so don't frick around with money you can't afford to lose.
You can already tell this is the sort of game that's a horrible disappointment on launch but then six months later gets a huge patch that makes it sort of okay.
The fact companies get away with that so often now is disgusting.

Great commentary, glad these people were the ones making the game, really glad
>mfw
Not just one cellar but TWO cellars? Damn, that's awesome!
What am I supposed to see here?
it literally looks the exact same as D3
Unironically i'd rather play wolcen

IT'S OVER STATUS: IT'S OVER
Blizzard learned nothing. Its going to be hot garbage. These people are so out of touch. Why can't millennials make games?
if you showed this to a diablo 1 and 2 fan in 2002 they would shit themselves with excitement
I'm a diablo 2 fan in 2023 and this game looks like homosexual shit
Diablo 2 Resurrected nailed the diablo aesthetic with modern 3d graphics. This looks like a korean mobile game by comparison. The camera isn't even proper isometric.
this
how could they go from recreating an artstyle the majority of people were more or less content with for D2R, back to the mobile-game wow-infused oversaturated garbage that basically everyone hated about D3
It boggles the mind
because blizzard proper didn't develop D2R. Vicarious visions did.
Different target demographics. D2R was to try and milk money from 30-40 year olds who felt burned by D3. D4 is for college-age zoomers with mommy money and no self control, and hopeless blizz whales who will throw money at shiny colors because they are functionally moronic
>they would shit themselves with excitement
Maybe on the first day they see it, but afterwards they would shit on Blizzard forever because it looks like fricking Mu online
>always online
>GaaS
they would shit themselves in rage more like
so? if you showed them chat gpt they would think it was magic
I played the FRICK out of Diablo 1 when it was released. This looks like homosexualry to me. Looks gay as hell. 3D was a mistake.
On a technical level, sure. After getting over the initial wow-factor of going from 2D sprites to high resolution 3D assets, they'd hate the aesthetics too.
so you weren't around when diablo 3 came out
i did for d3, wich looks the same, i played the game and defend it on release. i growed up, the game sucks, and thats its that
i dont follow all the drama. what am i supposed to be hating here?
i thought the mobile game was diablo immortal
This looks exactly like what I played in D3.
I stopped playing D3 years ago.
Honestly, it really does to the point i'm feeling like i am taking crazy pills.
Why do devs always make a big deal about "we went back to the original games"? His example was seeing what the enemies were called in the game, it would take like 10 seconds on some random wiki to check that.
They’ve been also doing that since Diablo 3. It sometimes plays as a Diablo 1 “reboot” because of all the story and location similarities

Diablo 2 remaster was all I needed, this can go rot.
This looks like the age of empires IV situation all over again
will be interesting to see if normies buy this game or if Blizzard's time is finally up
it'll break records like every other slop that comes out

I picked up on that. Maybe they were talking about a different place but honestly there is nothing close to d1 dark and horror themes in this preview. The monster design they showed early in dev was the closest we had.

LITERALLY, UNIRONICALLY, SERIOUSLY - WHAT THE FRICK WERE THEY THINKING LETTING THIS VIDEO TO GO ONLINE???
This brings me back to 2008. They really can't help themselves, making games that look homosexual is in their genes.
jesus christ i remember the original d3 gameplay showcase and how hyped everyone was, and then the game came out, to think blizzard would do it again
>everyone
haha what? Were you 12 or something?
you werent even born when d3 was first shown off zoomies
The picture I posted was is literally from 2008, the same month the first screenshots were shown you absolute fricking moron.
We all shat on its garbage cartoony art direction.
My god that projection
Black person, D3 was mocked hard for being WoWlike cartoony, the devs were literally so butthurt they put in the pony level as a frick you to the complainers.
It even had journoswine shills talking about how muh cartoony was betterer because it just is ok.
Blizzard also wore those rainbow t-shirts at Blizzcon to literally insult their fans to their faces
What the frick? How am I getting baited here? They're playing D3 and just failed to mention it or something?
They showed gameplay 3 months ago that looked like an entirely different game.
D3 was getting dunked on the moment it was revealed.
their playing on the xbox version, surely its not gonna be like this on PC too
Thay first gameplay trailer was full of lies so of course people got hyped. Fricking siege beast ripped the barbarian in half.
Up looks worse.
You know why?
Because the fricking graphics is not one of D3s problems.
It absolutely was, you zoomer.
Son, youre complaining about aesthetics while being shit on by other d3 problems. D3 has problems, bigger problems.
I bet youre the same guy complaining about walking simulators having no gameplay, you dumb frick.
>she plays walking sims
yikes sister
You just said graphics was NOT one of D3's problems. It was, among other things. Frick off.
I'm all for preserving online only games but i wouldn't be too sad if this slipped through the cracks
This is a successor to diablo 3 not diablo 2. It will be fun for like 3 days after hitting max level and grinding out a set and some paragon levels. No fog of war, brainless itemization, and water down rpg elements
didnt they advertise game being dark?
It's like they learnt nothing, or they took everyone's complaints about D3's saturday-morning-kid-show design fundamentals and just opted for the most superficial approach to appeasing them as possible
All the environmental details look so blocky and indistinct, like something cobbled quickly from stock assets, tinged with a smudgy generic lighting system
In D2, they made an effort to make the environments look sharp and menacing, with every crevice of every tomb or cave lined in malicious shadows that didn't just blur into the muddy corner. It wasn't perfect, and the environments are low-res and dated today, but its still a million times more foreboding than this
The most maddening thing of all is that the D2remaster actually looks really good compared to this tripe
The game being dark and gritty was too inaccessible to a broad audience, so they decided to make it brighter and more colorful for broad appeal.
More like they playtested the game with a bunch of Cali homosexuals who are like "ree to dark, make me feel ungood:("
> broad appeal
more literally than you might think
>The game being dark and gritty was too inaccessible to a broad audience
That doesn't even make sense in light of shit like Elden Ring or House of the Dragon. If anything normies love dark and gritty nowadays.
>elden ring
>dark and gritty
it's the least dark and gritty souls game fromsoft has ever made.
> reward (player title)
This is a game for women. It's barbie's grimdark dress up.
The game not being dark isn't a problem. Something dull grey and dreary would get really boring to look at after a few hours. That aesthetic and ui is such fricking trash however. There's no cohesion between the characters and environments.
The game is dull, grey and dreary.
People think they want less color when what they actually want is more contrast.
THIS IS FRICKING DIABLO 3 ALL OVER AGAIN. HAVE THEY LEARNED NOTHING?
where's the fingerless glove meter?
how do I keep track of my semen
Yes but they meant the optional lore you can listen to after clicking on a book, not the actual graphics.

Couldn't help but notice meme arrows in the youtube comments
No Steam no buy
ok i'll save you some loot for 2099
So they just gave up and are focusing on a console audience now
Console closed beta didn't look like that.
It also looks like this dungeon was scaled down massively
I'd rather play Minecraft Dungeons than touch this.
Uh ok? Minecraft Dungeons was fun
Yeah, it was. Might return to it.
Whoa Actobliz lied and are shitting out another sub par product that people will buy day 1 regardless. You better get it day 1 anon, even though this is definitely the last chance you are giving them not to mess it up again!
day -4 if you spend 20-30 more
The vid says they looked at previous Diablo games when making this one, but if that was true, why does it look nothing like D1+2?
because they only looked at D3 and immortal
They were looking from far away. Obviously.
>"See that artstyle? That's what we SHOULDN'T do sisters"
They aren't making it for people who know what D1+2 were like.
Because they're homosexuals and the people who made D1&2 weren't.
> this makes nublizz fart and shid themselves
I want to bind her stingers and forcefully impregnate Andariel.
Her deal is poison, she's probably got super demon aids.
Because they want to mention the non D3 and mobile trash games to con people who liked the series before it took a nosedive to buy the game then realize it's actually just Diablo 3.1 because as long as you bought it they don't really give a frick.
Looks like a damn back-ported mobile game. What the frick is this?
sick walls brah

they really just don't care do they?.
I thought that was like devmode text, holy frick

I can already tell you that Lilith will be the fake out not final boss we face but don't kill in the third act and then we team up with her to kill Inarius who is the real big bad and the game ends with Lilith becoming girl boss of hell and promising only to punish humans who deserve it like racists.
You forgot to shoehorn in diablo
Diablo won't be a boss. A few purists will cry but they'll be largely drowned out by shills saying Diablo is just the genre and having you kill a demon named diablo was kind of racist against hispanic culture anyway.
shut the frick up moron

If this flops, will they FINALLY fire most of the employees at Blizzard since ALL their cash cows aren't cash cows anymore?
It won't flop
Theres enough drones to by their games
And China will buy it no matter how much p2w bullshit there will be
Blizzard is one big fat corpse to fail
can they even release it on china anymore, i thought they got kicked out
I thought it was only immortal
They can't sell games in China atm, they recently lost their publisher.
the problem is it won't flop, the masses will eat it up just like immortal
I remember. I will forever laugh at how Asmongold criticized Immortal and spent over $1000 to prove shit. I will forever laugh at the moment because someone in chat said he's a hypocrite because him spending $1000 on Diablo invalidates everything he said. That sent him over the edge that he actually perma banned him.
But anon he's only shilling their games ironically so it's okay.
>the masses
aren't most players for these games on POE?
I know the chinese market plays POE and doesn't even know diablo exists
shouldn't diablo attempt to look at least remotely similar in terms of graphics?
it has Diablo in the title. 0% chance it flops
Zoomies and normies don't care about Diablo. Diablo is gonna get starcraft'd.

chinese mobile games are the ones who copied D3 and nu WoW aesthetics, so now everything that blizzard makes is doomed to have chinese mobile aesthetics

The menu and gear interface is somehow worse than diablo 1 by a signifcant margin.
>Diablo.

Disgusting.
I didn't have much hope for d4 but now it's definitely over.
It also looks like d3 + immortal.
that's a good point, shows who their target audience is

>Boss is female
What did they mean by this
shut up moron
Diablo isn't even in the game, prob some Expansion content.
Diablo is a Spanish word right?
What would be a female devil in Spanish?
Diablesa
Suegra
So Diablo 3 aesthetic and nu blizz char designs. Actually can't get worse
>playing on controller
Actually dishonest.
The most surprising thing to me is my complete lack of interest in this game from the start. It's clear Blizz was going to frick it up again, but I thought I'd be at least interested to return to one of my favourite franchises, but it's completely dead. I'm just really surprised how dead this franchise is for me now, and how quickly it happened.
Yeah
Ever since that blizcon immortal showcase I always felt like they had
>fiiiiiiiine we will make a "normal" diablo
Attitude
They didn't want to make it
Jesus. and to think I almost ordered a double down to try this...
I'm glad Ganker got utterly mindbroken by Blizzard.
Why do they remake 3 and call it 4
i'm actually starting to regret my preorder. i told myself to wait until first patch but couldn't wait because there's nothing to fricking play. god damn it
there's literally hundreds of thousands of video games to play
not for my taste in games

>Diablo 2 Resurrected is still lacking a LAN play option for direct connect
Clown world.
Diablo 1 was playable with controllers brah
That's not the true and real history of the culture. You are a lie.
You know, people shit on diablo 3 but this shit looks so much worse.
Sure, diablo 3 looked more like torchlight but it still looked good and plays great. D3 was very smooth and in previous trailers D4 was the same.
But this shit just looks really fricking terrible....
LMAO look at this shit
What is wrong with that?
>low quality character portrait
>mobile game tier font
>nonstylized button prompts
Yes, agreed with that.
Not him but it looks like it sucks by having Diablo 3's itemization instead of Diablo 2's items. Diablo 3's was lackluster and watered down. After a certain point the +% don't work because you need actual +raw damage, or various other effects that diablo 2 did that diablo 3 didn't. By level 80 in D2 you can get the same items to drop that you were getting before, but now they have like +5 sockets and you can do insane stuff to the gear. All Diablo 3 gave was the silly cube thing and too many bullet sponge elite monsters that just spit out acid and walls.
I suspect that d4 will be even worse than d3 since we have d3 itemization but half as many item slots.
Well I would assume that it looks like ass. The contrast is unironically akin to that of a splash of diarrhea.
SOUL LESS
Now compare with this.
What the frick is happening to game developers?
Is it literally a skill issue?
>Developers talk about how much cool stuff there is.
>Meanwhile, game looks boring and junk.
It's genuinely sad.
Even diablo 3 had a pretty good inventory.
Absolutely garbage compared to d2 though, still better than d4.
It is so odd that there are people without souls who can't understand the satisfying feeling of an inventory system like this
You pick up a big fricking rare quality axe that fills up two columns and you're like yeah that's a big fricking meaty axe and it looks nice too I can't wait to try this shit out on some demon Black folk
>big fricking meaty axe
>it's actually a one-handed sword that does nothing but takes up the same space as a two-handed zwei because frick your inventory, that's why
The 1h sword in your pic takes 50% more space than a claymore. And that makes sense?
why does it have to make sense? The items are designed around game mechanics, not real world size of the item. A crystal sword can have up to 6 sockets, so it needs to take up 6 squares in your inventory. A 2 handed sword that takes only 1 row of 4 squares can only get 4 sockets.
>socketed (4)
Yes I think the amount of inventory space it takes up is appropriate
>there are people without souls who can't understand the satisfying feeling of an inventory system like this
Play poe.
bald fricking moron deleted poe I can't play it
You will come for 3.21.
fat (and bald) chance
inventory management is one of the worst things about pooe
I am already playing it
>What the frick is happening to game developers?
Covid-19 pandemics, social distancing, mask wearing, vaccines, was all pushed from Roman Catholic church / Popes on American Presidents since Reagan to find a cure for homosexuality related disease (AIDS) for Africans to deliver Africans from sexual diseases instead of telling them about Jesus.

So game developers is politics? Weird, when did that happen?
Oh wait, didn't all game companies suddenly start pushing Democrat politics when they started posting BLM banners for Africans?
No u.
Go back to Sodom, homo.
Diablo 2 still superior, you can't find make games passed 2.
This looks like steaming shit. Are you mentally ill?
Wow, they both look like absolute shit.
zero effort chinese outsourcing
Makes me wonder what the frick is going on at Blizzard.
Do they actually think they can trick people by saying one thing and showing another, or were they at some point trying to make a Diablo game that's more like Diablo but then someone said "no make this one like Diablo 3/Immortal we need to make more money and those did better than D2 Remastered"
I’m curious about all the other footage. Not gonna lie, all the gameplay with every new clip was looking more and more like D3, but this one doesn’t even look like the same engine as the original D3 clips - models, lighting, levels, animations everything looks different. Did they just add a bunch of filters on top of that, did they completely scrap the original.
It’s so confusing.
>It’s so confusing
It's not confusing at all. You are looking at the CONSOLE version of the game. It's completely downgraded to support 4 player couch co-op and so that it can run on the Switch. The PC version will still look the same as all the other footage.
Cope. I bet PC version won’t even have any meaningful graphical settings on top of the console baseline.
Do you guys not have consoles?
>Cope
We have already seen thousands of hours of footage from the PC version.
Sure buddy, the release version will look exactly like that. Don’t forget to preorder the game.
Why does the console version have a different artstyle and presentation.
It has the same artstyle, but it lacks things like dynamic lighting, proper shaders, better textures, has less gamma and highlights, and so on. The console version is made with the Switch in made + made with the "people will sit on a couch 10-20 feet away from their TV" in mind + made with "we need to have bright colors to separate players easily due to couch co-op" in mind.
>It has the same artstyle
So the PC version will look like dull grey shit too
The PC version will look like all the old footage we have already seen. The footage that even Ganker praised for "actually looking dark".
Cope
?t=12m
PC looks exactly the same, people just been tricked by darker caves and deliberate “no UI” clips.
This is from your very own linked video.
not dark enough I can still see the UI
What’s your point. I’m not saying there are no dark levels, I’m saying all the footage they’ve been showing has been deliberately misleading and the game always looked like D3 with new character models. It’s not a console issue, it’s a blizzard issue.
>I’m saying all the footage they’ve been showing has been deliberately misleading
Even all the leaked videos?
peak soulless UI and text, certainly the work of an """UX designer"""
>they actually made Diablo 3 again

You skipped the part where all the roasties in blizz got delicately fondled.
I can't say I really give a shit. It's not like a little fondling would make the game better or worse.
Of course, we could talk of the state of the videogame industry as a whole and the complete talent drain that has been ongoing for decades.
Not saying you should give a shit. But your greentext was hilarious and including a roastie arc could make it better.
thanks anon
>ARPGs are going to be eternally stuck between mindlessly emulating the worst aspects of D2 and making chink mobile game garbage
This genre is fricking cursed.
eh idk, lost epoch almost got it right, almost
I don't get how people play these homosexual games. You literally do the exact same thing over and over. Go to some new dungeon, click on enemy over and over, teleport back to town when your inventory is filled and then teleport back. What could people possibly be dissatisfied with with the new games? How can there be even less than there is in Diablo 2 when there is already nothing to do?
>Go to some new dungeon, click on enemy over and over,
Stopped reading at the first part "homosexual games." Blizzard games were always good PC games.
Diablo 2 Barbarian is actually engaging and interesting. You've obviously never played it.
You get the Shout skills first because they are on the first tab. You use taunt on the Shamans to draw them to you and on the goblins to make them stop running from you. You use the intimidating shout to make trash get off of you so you can focus on bosses. This means there is back and forth between left and right clicks, and it requires some part on your part to read what enemy elites are and that requires being good with the mouse, during a time when there was mechanical ball mice. Optical laser made it easier, but they should have still suck with the system the game originally had.
Once you have set your routine you will do it mindlessly for hours. I can explain in greater detail how to solve the first level in mario bros and it will sound more complicated than the simple chain you tried to sell as elaborate gameplay. And this doesn't even answer the question what you are dissatisfied about in the sequels.
No, you said click enemy. That isn't engaging.
The enemies vary from enemy to enemy.
Next you will say grinding for loot isn't a fundamental aspect of the game.
Diablo 2 is an action game, yes, and you are meant to beat the game and quit. Any further playing is stroking it for something to do.
I will actually give you credit if you play Diablo like that. Though I don't see how Diablo 4 can't be played like that. Surely it's the people that play Diablo to an autistic degree who are the most dissatisfied with it.
It can be, but it wouldn't feel like there is much depth. Diablo 3 was pretty empty and it simply gave you new magic crossbow shots to shoot every few levels to make it feel like there is.
Based. I genuinely can’t comprehend how people can automatically play the same game like this for years and not get bored.
Souls, Bethesda and Blizzard gays are genuinely subhuman.
You’re delusional.
Diablo was always a lawnmower simulator. Early levels in D1 and 2 can be quite methodical and slow but once it ramps up you’re just killing waves of enemies and dunking potions mindlessly. I remember playing late game Hellfire and I wasn’t even looking at what I’m hitting I was staring at my health orb making sure I heal on time.
>it's just 3 again
>even the artstyle looks like slightly edgier 3
Despite how shit PoE has gotten over the recent years I'll sooner go back to that than spend a dime on D4.
11 hours and 4 minutes until the shitshow tomorrow.
>Diablo 3
>World of Warcraft: Diablo 3
>Diablo 3: Immortal

>Diablo 3: 4
Ok, I lol'd.
>Diablo 3: 4
You're really funny
Why do they still insist with this fricking moronic legendary system?
it was trash in D3 and it's going to be trash in D4
no actual skill tree
just fricking GARBAGE
Totally fails the gothic aesthetic of D1 and D2. Not worth buying.
GGG are moronic schizos but they're the best hope we got now
Meanwhile, a free update for a free game looks a hundred times better.
Yeah but PoE2 isn't out yet
Anon please, PoE was good like 15 years ago. Its shit now. Every season the new build is just one aoe ability and going into talents that buff said ability.
Stop acting as if its acceptable anymore, even Diablo 3 got better while PoE stagnated.
Sadly the best arpg right now is the Warhammer one. And even then its just alright.
1/10 for effort
Lat Epoch was surprisingly good despite being still in early access. Feels like the perfect mix between PoE and Diablo 3.
surely you don't mean inquisitor martyr
They overhauled the game with a 2.0 update that made it decent.
ARPGs have been suffering for almost a decade with the mediocrity disease.
>Every season
Do they actually add new content and levels or it’s it just constant shuffling of abilities while you keep replaying same randomized rifts over and over again like in D3?
PoE does add content every 3 months and new endgame every year
It's the only reason they've survived
But then I'd have to play PoE.
I fricking hate these Resident Evil tanky controls. Everything takes AGES to turn and animate.
>path of shit
>looks good
Pick one.
Is Diablo 4 going to require SMS phone protection to play?
it already requires your real name
No, you need an anal double identification for this one. You need to pre order the probe first.
valid ID, payslip, and proof of gay sex
How is this surprising to anyone? How many fricking chances do you Black folk give Blizzard?
Diablo 1 was the last good Diablo. Great story, great characters, bets atmosphere.
Take me back anon
I JUST WANTED TO PLAY A GOOD DIABLO GAME AGAIN
>diablo 1
>story
>characters
>atmosphere
lol, like it could ever compete
>anime tier shit is better because it is ok
No.
That's really desperate cope right there
How is it? Look at how grounded in reality Diablo 1 is versus what you posted.
Hahaha you're beyond delusional
AAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEE
is that the color....O-ORANGE????
I'M GOING Insaaaaaaane I CAN'T I JUST CAN't even
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That's 2 player couch coop?
Yes. I don’t care about Diablo since Diablo 2, but D3 has been a comfy coop experience to play with my GF.
So I’m excited for this one too since there’s not many couch games nowadays.
I'm sure it's merely a coincidence this looks exactly like a level from act 3 of diablo 3
They literally said in the video "yes we made that level from d3 because we like it".
Did you really think blizzard had any talent in 2023?
looks like the fricking keep basement holy fricking shit
>e-begging on 4chins of all places
you're better than this, anon
No he's not, he's literally writing "poems"
I've played my fair share of ARPGs before but I skipped D3 entirely. Bought D4 since I'm banned on poe and they dont want me back anymore.
What should I expect from D4?
im looking forward to it. I just want to brainlessly hack and slash. If you're expecting anything more then you have played yourself
>new armor and weapons to rip and add into skyrim
beta chars are critting for 17 million already.
even D3 didn't have numbers nearly this big at launch
>mfw the copium around the internet is in full swing
>Black folk in the Last Epoch discord hyping this game up
>turns out it's just open world diablo 3
For Wakanda Forever!
Fricking ungrateful homosexuals. Where is Starcraft 3 blizzard, you huge gays?
>nooo it's my turn to get the aids
Jesus.
more like fartcraft guys haha
shut up
Since diablo 3 was the worst game i've ever played in my life ill dislike this video without watching it.
I told you this would flop
I spent like one hour explaining to some moron that Blizzard is done
I told you that it would shut in 5-10 years
and we will never play it again since its online only SAD!
>anyone expecting anything good from BLIZZARD
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Diablo 3 offline single player with mods pipedream becoming reality when
>let's give the players what they want so they can replay the same old game we can't monetize forever
Literally NEVER EVER
At least pick a good game like first person shooters that are action games with physics and combat and big men protagonists, and not be a hamster.
>I didn't do what he said and get the Shouts for the Barbarian and see the game how it was designed to be played.
I accept your concession.
Okay, but did I ever insinuate that you CAN'T stroke it after for something to do? I'm not advocating you to go out and make fun of the nerds that got made fun of in Junior High for playing Diablo II. I used to know a kid who got called Master Bates. Frick off. I was friends with that nerd and I was starting on O and D in football.
>I didn't do what he said
The point is that you don’t need to. You can do a lot of complex stuff in a lot of games. But it’s it’s just as effective as cloning one button and looking the other way - it’s a shit game.
Complex mechanics that are in no way required to play the game and completely useless.
>The point is that you don’t need to.
>I was staring at my health orb making sure I heal on time.
I accept your concession. You play the game like a schizophrenic. (huh!! am I gonna die?! huh! WUH!! uh! *looks left* *looks right* AAH! *looks left like he sees something and raises hand and begins to stand up and spin and... collapses*
>yeah um we played diablo 1 and took a screenshot and thats how we made diablo 4 xd
>Indistinguishable from D3
>Completely designed around controllers
Well another $60 saved at least
apparently Ganker likes playing with controllers
I'm fricking livid
This play is a consolecuck hive primarily ruled over by tendies. You're a good 15 years late for a good, PC focused Ganker
how the frick are they playing on consoles when they got no fricking games!
They buy the console just to plug the controller that came with it to their PC.
>2008 Ganker
>PC focused
PC or not, controllers are just superior for a lot of game types.
>inferior in platformers
>inferior in fighting games
>horrific garbage in any game with a 3d camera
>not even possible to use in RTS or Strategy
at least you guys get analog inputs for racing games I guess
>inferior in fighting games
almost every capcom cup winner has been on default ps4 pad lol
lolno, the gameplay almost always needs to be automated to fit controllers. You're just one of those drooling moron playing FPS with an aimbot not even noticing the game is playing itself.
It's $69.99.
i just want to dupe again bros is that too much to ask
i quite like the price 69.99 bacues it reminds of of that sexual position and i laugh heaps
>release another reskin of Diablo 3 for the second time
Oh no no no
BUTCHER IS GONNA BE FRICKEN AWESOME MATE YESSSSSSSS
grey is the new black
I hate how recent games make all shadows either grey out or a mute hue. It's always just low contrast wishy-washy and hurts your eyes. Indie games are doing the same currently.
It’s hilarious that early access was accessible at a discount, because you’re playing an unfinished game.
Now people are willingly paying money to pre-beta-test the game. Absolutely pathetic.
Gamers deserve everything that happened to the industry.
>pre-order
>96 hours of beta gameplay fully refundable
>buycuck at release after waiting for reviews
>2 hour refund window
You're the moron. Not me.
>refund
But you won’t.
You’ll play-test it for me, wait for all the issues to be fixed like a good little cuck, and then proceed to play the game like everyone else. Knowing that you’ve paid with your money and time for QA that Blizzard didn’t bother to have.
I pre-order and refund pre-order exclusive betas all the time. I have told my entire friend group if I am unhappy with the beta, I'm out. Blizzard hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt in over a decade.
I thought the beta started tonight?
>it's just D3
Well thank frick for free beta
It looks EXACTLY like Diablo 3, if someone showed me that footage I would just think it was Diablo 3.
Last Epoch even in it's unfinished mess looks way better and ahead of Diablo 4.
memes aside, there's a couple things that are pretty clear.
>console UI means characters have extra UI indicators
>brightness turned up for some reason
>diablo 3 with a coat of paint
all in all, eh. ill play it tomorrow and decide if I'm refunding or not.
I'm sorry I have a lot of floaters what am I supposed to see here?
>NOOOO WHY ISN'T THE GAME BROWN AND BLOOM LIKE A PS3 GAME???
I'm going to watch you cope and seethe as the game breaks sales records and becomes one of the best selling games of all time just like Diablo 3 did.
Holy frick it looks like shit. What happened in the last year? The first footage from that one event where people were uploading the starting area looked nothing like this.
They got tons of feedback from playtesters "wow this isn't like D3 or Immortal I don't understand it" and decided to pivot accordingly
>inflated damage numbers again
literally who asked for this
Who the frick plays these games with damage numbers on? Are you moronic?
>that microsoft word arial font
god why
Fricking disgraceful. I fricking hate the moronic "you don't do damage until you hit for 100 trillion gajillion" mindset so fricking much. The numbers become absolutely meaningless until you hit certain breakpoints. Just no attempt at all to make enemies dynamic instead of ridiculous health sponges.
>make enemies dynamic instead of ridiculous health sponges
What does this even mean?
enemies that have a variety of abilities that the player has to play around to defeat them instead of being a health sponge with one attack animation
>a variety of abilities that the player has to play around
Diablo 3 and 4 already have these. Monster affixes that actually have gameplay impact and aren't just higher stats.
Why are you posting about games you've literally never played?
those abilities ultimately mean nothing because the progression is designed around enemies having 5-billion health while the player is able to hit for 50 billion damage.
>play around
aka spam your 5 trillion damage ability and kill them
It’s even more hilarious when it starts to shorten to K and M so all you see is something like 2M popping up, going full circle eventually.
I think everyone should play Clicker Heroes at least once to see how soulless most games really are.
eh, looks slightly slower than D3 and much slower than PoE so that's nice at least
You have absolutely no idea how fast the game will or won't be, stop being moronic. Poe is ten times slower than that when you play for the first time without a build
>You have absolutely no idea how fast the game will or won't be, stop being moronic. Poe is ten times slower than that when you play for the first time without a build
That's level 100 gameplay with a build visibly intact moron
And? You think this guy has a fricking build by having played a beta you absolute fricking moron?
>that screenshot
Holy shit are these tards playing with a controller?
No, I'm not clicking that link and checking it myself.
Where are the enemies?
This is Diablo not PoE where the screen is always full of utterly worthless mobs that pose zero threat to the player
D2 and 3 had good density.
Who is this game even for?
If you were an older fan wanting back to roots darker Diablo, this game is a colorful as frick quicker clicker.
If you’re a new fan who liked colorful arcade Diablo, this game slid towards harder “realism” design and brutal aesthetics while complicating the gameplay fast-paced players liked.
Who is this for??
>Who is this for??
You are completely clueless. The game will sell 20-30 million copies.
the moronic bommers that unironically play D3 on console, its one of the most popular games with millenials NPC and d4 will be able to monopolize them and scam them int o GaaS shit with season pass and microtransactions
>d2 boomer parasite already seething and coping
lol
lmao even
bro these are facts, every single 30+ year old npc plays d3 and destiny 2 , these are the kind of moron that buy every game but never play it and justify the price hike by saying that 70$ for 6 hours of enterteinment its worth it because a night out on friday its 200$ and gives them 2 hours of fun, they are literally the mindless drones of america
I’m about to make you angry beyond the pale, but I actually liked D3. But that’s my point, for me it worked as an almost idler during downtime, but now, in a half-assed attempt to appeal to “hardcore old fans,” they’re adding complications to the turn-on-and-play quick loop.
BUT, this also doesn’t work for actual Diablo 2 fans because it’s still keeping the aesthetics and casualization of 3.
You half-ass appeal to both sides, but it works for neither.
its diablo and has blizzard on the title these morons played diablo immortal unironically, they have no standards and blizzard knows this, frick me the collector edition does not even include a game
Well you’re not wrong, but that’s sad.
I completely deleted Blizz stuff cuz I hated the China pandering despite loving it so much so I haven’t kept up.
That bit about the collector’s edition is hilarious. Please tell me it’s selling out.
does this still have the moronic D3 no interrupt shit? you can literally play that game afk because nothing on screen matters, only your cooldowns
It looks lame.
I'll pass
the fake enthusiasm and laughter really confirms this as a tortanic. Theyre pretending they are having the time of their lives killing trash mobs that don't do any damage whatsoever.
>a tortanic
you said the same about D3 and it's not one of the best selling games of all time.
you are mentally ill
>you said the same about D3 and it's not one of the best selling games of all time.
Nobody did this
>n-no
>nobody said this
ahahaha
AHAHAHAHAHA
Keep screeching about D4 while it goes on to sell tens of millions of copies just like D3
>it doesn't matter if it's shit at least the company made billions of dollars and that makes me happy
didn't know vidya games meshed with cuckoldry so well
Diablo 3 was a great game though and Diablo 4 looks even better.
I will enjoy watching mentally ill D2 boomers like you spend another 10 years screeching as D4 breaks sales records lol
>Diablo 3 was a great game
You never played D3 until recently please stop posting
Played D3 since the beta. Have bought the game on every single platform multiple times over the years.
Keep coping and seething
>Have bought the game on every single platform multiple times over the years.
My condolences.
I hope you got some consolation prize for being a good customer
The prize was a great game.
Didn't know they gave out D2 for that
>D2
that braindead garbage? not even for free would I play that boomer trash lol
>D2 is braindead
>but not D3
Holy cope!
D3 has actual endgame and you use more than 1 button
D2 is spam 1 key and chug potions
It will always be the easier game
d2 is such a broken braindead piece of garbage that sorc can clear hell naked lmao
They can only sell hype so many times. If people are getting repeatedly disappointed by the games you make, they are less likely to even botherno matter how big the advertising budget and hyped a new game is.
>this time for sure
>this time for sure blizzard will go down under
lol
lmao even
Fortunately (for them), D3 came out 11 years ago. That's long enough for an entire new customer base to be born and raised. They'll make billions from naive underages buying into the hype with mom's money. All these advertisement campaigns are aimed at adults so it's a lot harder for children without much life experience to resist them.
>repeatedly disappointed
That's where you fricked up. There are plenty more new customers than old ones.
>assmon
dilate you troony axe wound
Hard pass.
Did they really trick gamers into thinking there were actually 150 different dungeons to play in at end game when they really are just remixed procedural dungeons that have always existed since D2?
Of course they did. It's a great sales pitch honestly, selling you the same thing you've already had and been using for 20+ years as a new feature is brilliant.
so it's basically a big Diablo 3 mod
for only 70 dollaroos
+season pass and tip
A diablo 3 mod that has seasonal battlepasseswith 3 different tiers and a microtransaction shop
How did a franchise get this buckbroken by Path of Exile
1. Took far too long to capitalize on the trend of D2 but to be fair it's because they were still trying to refine it
2. Failed to recognize their own strengths and failures in a genre they largely pioneered with D1 and 2 when making D3 despite having years and years to analyze it
3. Tried to remake Diablo from the ground up with 3 while paying lip service to the things that made it the pure online crack
4. Excessive greed in the form of the RMAH that was never going to benefit the average player
5. Overkill in response to their overgreed by killing all trading after the AH went away, probably the worst decision in the entire process which is really saying something
6. Settling into a routine of being plagiarists instead of innovators after POE completely stole the pioneer role from Blizzard (for a time)
This is Diablo 4??
HAHAHAHHA OHNONO
If you didn't play Diablo 3 or Diablo Immortal get ready for a whole new experience.
I played Diablo Immortal and it was easily the worst game I have ever played in my life. And I frequently play $1.99 games on Steam made with Unity Engine and refund them.
You never even touched the game and are larping on Ganker
/v/edditors can piss and shit themselves it will still sell 50 million copies just like D3
didn't Blizzard get shut down in chinkland? How will they sell that many copies now?
by making great games for White Men
wow! i can't wait to play Twitter Screencap Posting Simulator 2023!
you mean Ballbusting Whiteboysex Simulator Extreme
>didn't Blizzard get shut down in chinkland? How will they sell that many copies now?
Diablo 3 didn't come out in China until 2015, when it was approved by their ministry.
By the time D3 hit China the game had already sold over 30 million copies. Without China.
i thought this was going to be on game pass. never gonna play this shit
How did the art style change this much overnight what the frick
Honestly, as long there are no gays in the game I'll buy it.
As long as (you) play there will always be gays in your games.
Not exactly the grim dark edgy atmosphere I imagined, but it's alright
OMG IS THAT HECKING COUCH CO-OP OM,G MY FRICKING MATES AT UNI WILL FRICKING LUV DIS HAHA YESS BLIZZ IS BACKKKKK FUKING YAS I CAN PLAY ON THER COUCH? BUT ALSO WITH THE LADs? HAHHA FUKIN GOTY JUST LIKE FIFA HECKING YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS
People play "Diablo" past 2? lol Lmao even. Whatever it is, it isn't Diablo because that team was gone.
>the two devs are gigantic sois
trainwreck incoming
>all these Tencent chink shills promoting PoE
Frick off Chang
Can someone lost the like dislike ratio on the video.
Irrelevant boomer seethe from shitters who weren't going to play it anyway
As a reminder d3 is one of the best selling games of all time and d2 is nowhere close
more people are playing D2 than D3 right now though. The fact that D3 sold so well makes it even more pathetic that it's a completely dead game that nobody plays now. 30 million people could play D3 at any time but they all quit 10 years ago and haven't touched the game ever since.
Lmao no, d3 has always been more popular than d2 and that includes right now
But the games not shit, every single boomer complaint is either objectively wrong, present in d2 anyway or not actually a problem
>d3 has always been more popular than d2
so popular they had to remaster D2 to salvage the brand from the shitstorm that was D3
D3s popularity is objective reality moron, it sold millions and millions of copies
D2 boomers, being among the dumbest people on the planet, were just cattle milked for money with a remaster
D3 took the franchise to new heights that most IPs, never mind shitty games like d2, never come close to
>D3s popularity is objective reality
ahahahahahaha
How many people are playing D3 today
a lot cause of the new season
>Diablo 3
16,537 Players Online
>PoE
>Path of Exile is estimated to have 788,853 players per day
Yes D3 truly is a massively popular game, lmao.
>Comparing currently playing vs "players per day"
Fricking moron
This number is irrelevant
it's the end a season, nobody is playing except the whales and the nolifers
Would be pretty even numbers between D3 and PoE if these weren't only the Steam players.
Cool headcanon
Too bad you made it up, PoE doesn't even see 700k on day 1 of a league
Holy frick Shit of Exile trannies are so delusional and obnoxious, enjoy the MTX store full of tabs and other shit LMAO.
>D3s popularity is objective reality moron, it sold millions and millions of copies
that's exactly proof how unpopular it is. It sold 30 million copies and only 16k players are playing it right now. Half of those are bots and there is also a big chunk of players who went back to D3 recently because they are hyped for D4. Previusly to D4 being on the horizon, D3 usually didn't even break 10k concurrent players on most week days.
Not him but where can we see D3 player numbers?
Damn, metroid dread was such a failure they had to remake metroid prime
Mario Odyessy was such a failure they had to remake Super Mario 3D World
Resident Evil 8 was such a failure they had to remake Resident Evil 4
uh oh someone needs to be spoonfeed about context and why it matters!
lmao, dude there are currently 16k players playing Diablo 3. Before D2R came out, OG Diablo 2 on the old battle.net would have 30k players at any given day of the week and time of the day. I don't own D2R but I bet that one also has at least as many players, if not more. Granted, half of those players are bots, but that's the same for D3.
Copl headcanon too bad you made it up
The only thing you're right about is d2 being all bots. Nobody is botting d3 because it's not a 3rd worlder rmt hub
>Nobody is botting d3 because it's not a 3rd worlder rmt hub
Lmao this dude never played D3 and is just baiting,
Nobody bots d3 you actual tard
It's a b2p game and you can't sell items, all bots died with the RMAH
the five people going for leaderboard ranks bot for paragon levels
five people.
just google Diablo 3 player count.
How many people are playing D3 now
Blizzard is very good at tapping into the "I just want to tap buttons and see numbers go up" market
But enough about d2
Why do westerners love this game so much?
None of the Orientals play this type of game.
chinks played it before blizzard games got banned over there
koreans and SEABlack folk play diablo as well
zoomers will eat it up
they will be bussin fr no cap and the game will be a commercial success
how does it feel
>just two fat dudes with glasses and beards talking monotonously while playing a video game on a controller, so they could back and let their gut stick out comfortably
What's there not to like?
PoE 2 is gonna dominate ARPG market for another decade it seems.
>t. Chang
t.
You are shilling a game owned by the Chinese state and you're calling me a chink?
poe had a good run but it's over now
So what's wrong with it? I don't touch games like Diablo but was considering getting 4 to play with friends to pass the time.
if you never played diablo you will probably have a good time up until something new catches your attention
Boomers can't handle more than 1 button gameplay
looks like torchlight 2
at least the comments are seeing through this bullshit
Beta in how many hours preorder bros?
Around 8 hours. I'm way less excited about it after this youtube dev video.
I expected D3 Remastered: Actual New Content Edition and that's what I'll be getting
Sigh. I guess you're right. Rogue, Barb or Sorc for you?
Rogue first but I'll try every class
>preorder bros
That's KFChad to you.
I like how that one anon starts seething every thread about D3 selling millions and that's somehow makes up for the game being shit
In case you are a brainrot zoomer, we have a graphic reminding you how to teleport
I really wish I could be excited for this but it looks really fricking bad. Sub D3 bad
Hilarious seeing the little flip switch in brains of all the casual gaymers in the youtube comments. First time huh, you must be new to AAA
Can I preorder on battlenet and refund if the beta sucks?
Technically you should be able to, but just be warned that they can deny your refund at any time for any reason, so don't frick around with money you can't afford to lose.
homie just wait a week and play the open beta
>We refund paid games or expansions within 14 days of purchase, as long as you haven’t played for more than two hours.
You can already tell this is the sort of game that's a horrible disappointment on launch but then six months later gets a huge patch that makes it sort of okay.
The fact companies get away with that so often now is disgusting.
