So when's it a tendie game getting perfect score it's "deserved", but when it's another game it's "paid scores"? Interesting...
>trusting reviewers
shills
>Ganker is one person
Are you dumb anon? This is the formula
>Game you like gets good reviews: review scores matter
>Game you like gets bad reviews: review scores don't matter
>Game you hate gets good reviews: clearly were paid off
>Game you hate gets bad reviews: You post OH NO NO NO NO NO ______BROS HAHAHAHAHAHA
That's how it goes here.
>when's it a tendie game getting perfect score it's "deserved"
I wouldn't go that far, but it's a lot more likely that a nintendo game deserves its score being as nintendo still makes actual games designed by the same gamers who've been making their shit for 30+ years, and not GaaS mmo battepass israelitery designed by marketers and Diversity Inclusivity Equity (DIE)™ committees for BlackRock and Vanguard shareholders.
Not a single person responsible for the creation of Diablo 1 or Diablo 2 has worked at Blizzard for decades. Blizzard as a company hasn't delivered a genuinely good gaming experience for over a decade. Why would you ever trust them to deliver a good Diablo product in current year, least of all after the hypercasualized snoozefest of Diablo 3?
ToTK is literally the most innovative game we've seen in decades with thousands of hours of lovingly hand crafted content. Diablo 4 is goyslop made by trannies.
There's a big difference there.
peak tendie
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA I CANT
no, tokt is overrated as frick
Anyone else noticed you see this shit spammed in every game but nintendo games?
I rather wait a week for The REAL CRITICS to say something about it, not this paid goyslop shit.
Exactly
>the REAL critics are the ones eternally mad at blizzard for making their games too hard that never even touched d4
Sure bro
You are viewing a schizopost.
Blizzard devs openly shill here. They don't even pretend to hide the fact. Activision shills show up only on new release then they shut the frick up days after the release of their game when organic feedback starts coming in. Diablo 4 is going to be hated on this board within 1 week and there won't even be counter shilling happening.
>paid journalist scores
have a nice day
>is called Nervig
>German yiddish for "tiresome"
Topical kek
>yiddish
it comes from latin
It means annoying/getting on someones nerves
What if it's an actual 9.5/10 game this time?
From Blizzshart? Literally impossible. Everything they make is overrated garbage. I'm sorry you grew up eating shit thinking it was good food, can't blame you for that. But continuing to eat it when you know it's shit is pathetic.
I never liked that dweeb Nervig when I played hearthstone.
>Did you take a Stoneword Key and open up the dungeon at the start?
>That is precisely what I did.
the mental image of this gay getting repeatedly run over by a chariot pleases me greatly.
This is the homosexual that allegedly raided in WoW on a fricking iPad.
>allegedly
It's not allegedly. He admitted to it.
https://twitter.com/Celestalon/status/737203778441469952
What a disgusting homosexual, why are wowgays like this...
>feinting
Why wouldn't you switch to flight form and carry the b***h out?
>playing a shit game for stupid babies on a shit device for stupid babies
What's the problem here? Garbage in, garbage out.
I'd like to see you raid Mythic on a tablet.
>I'd like to see you play my moronic phone game on a tablet
No thanks, moron. I only play good games. Enjoy your slop.
You really think he ever went above LFR with a tablet?
yikes
looks israeli
>The purple haired homosexual likes it, it must be good.
>Game Journalism
>it's okay when the journos say the game is shit though teehee~~
Diablo 4 is going to completely mindbreak Ganker LMAO
It will be forgotten after a week of shitposting
Of course. Ganker will be quick to memoryhole their defeat 😉
I don't understand this image, journalists LOVED Elden Ring overall?
all paid
yeah, think i'm buying system shock and gollum instead
Ganker btfo'ed once again. Many such cases.
prologue + 6 acts + epilogue
Diablochuds we are unstoppable
HOLY SHIT
>Near perfect endgame
How would they even know what endgame is going to be like? Very suspicious.
what do you mean, i know nothing about this game and ive seen the end of it. its empty desert
im shilling d4 hard to my friends but you're right
they didnt even show shit from season 1...
>they didnt even show shit from season 1...
They said like a month ago that they would show everything about season 1 sometime after launch.
>They said
like how they said OW2 would get a PvE mode?
>How would they even know what endgame is going to be like?
The played it in order to review it?
Isn't that what they said about Diablo 3 as well?
you misspelt IIII anon
Diablo: Black Ops IIII xD
all diablo games suck balls
Nobody believes this garbage, everyone played it and we all saw how trash it is
We write the history
We direct the sales
(You) have no power here
>everyone played it and we all saw how trash it is
If you played D2 only until level 20, it would seem like fricking trash too.
I played it and had fun. But im still waiting till the game releases and others play it to see what the endgame actually looks like before i give them money.
hard to believe. I played the beta and so did my friends and we all loved it. I got the ultimate edition & maining necro.
Is something genuinely wrong with Ganker? I've been coming here for years but mostly on Ganker, Ganker, and Ganker. Posters on Ganker don't seem to believe anything unless it validates their opinion.
>critics and audiences seem to enjoy TotK
Nooooo that's not true. It's actually dumb and for toddlers with no taste playing a game that Gankertards are too intelligent to enjoy.
>critics and audiences seem to enjoy D4
Nooooo that's not true. It's actually dumb and for paid shills and ARPG-lets who are too moronic to appreciate PoE, or D2, or *checks notes*. What's the next cope going to be? Can any of you morons comprehend the idea that somebody else exists and is conscious independently of you, and thus they have unique experiences, which gives way to their own preferences that may not directly mirror your own?
This place is completely mind broken and often runs through with groupthink. This time it's anti gays just being obnoxiously loud. Individual thought is shunned here and attacked with a barrage of moronic low quality attacks.
>everyone played it and the incomplete beta of the first couple of hours of the final game was one of the most popular games on the planet for a while
lmao
lol
why is there so much cope regarding D4 being actually good? my guess is the salty D2 mega boomers and of course PoE shills who have spent 6000 hours grinding out
but I played it and said it was good? So did lots of others anons in the threads last month who were playing it?
Surely you're not trying to just make up shit?
>we
I liked it
Nah, I played it and enjoyed it. I still cancelled my preorder though because I’ll wait until it’s on gamepass
>AAA game from big company whose fate depends on how much copies it will sell got 9/10 reviews
would be surprised if the opposite happens
prefer to trust my own eyes
that shit looks opposite to what reviewers say
diablo immortal already saved blizzard
>inventory management continues to be a pain
What the frick? There's no tetris anymore, right? Every single piece takes same amount of space in the inventory
But there's also a lot more garbage to haul around
Not sure what her issue with the inventory in D4 is, but inventory systems are pretty antiquated for games focused around looting. All it does is necessitate a frequent trips home to pawn or scrap everything. That doesn't improve the experience. Alternatively, you have to ignore most loot because 99% of it is unusable trash that you'd just pawn or scrap.
>inb4 just don't pick everything up
Maybe the game should stop spamming me with shit. This isn't PoE. A weak item with strong base stats can't be turned into a good endgame item. There's absolutely no point to the inventory management in D4 other than it was in the previous games. Your inventory should be effectively endless, and most things you pick up should have some value beyond salvage. Even FF14 achieves this, and that's a coomer game for trannies.
cute
>class builds feel unique
left click to build ressource to spend on right click, 1 for escape (cool down) 2 for utility (cooldown) 3 for buff (cooldown) 4 for ultimate (big cooldown)
>loot feels impactful / decisions
green arrow good, red arrow bad
>atmospheric dread and tension are palpable
yeah we saw that with https://youtu.be/XV4zVqb9vWc
still not playing it
they fricked up D3, they fricked up D2R, they'll frick up D4
That's cool, still not buying it or anything blizzard.
You can tell that to your bosses 🙂
don't worry anon, I'll buy an extra copy in your name
More than half of these tell me nothing about the game.
>visual limitations... when the camera swoops in during cutscenes
Who the frick cares about that? The Bad should've just been
>there are cutscenes
What about the gameplay? Journalists need to die.
>buzzwords
holy shit
Yo it's that guy from Alice in Borderland.
Did someone say Demons?!??!? Awesome!!!!!!!!
frick you for making me laugh
I'm waiting for my favorite streamer to tell me what I think, I don't trust paid reviews
NOOOOOOO Ganker SAID IT WAS GOING TO FLOP
And it did game journalist are the only ones fellating this game
what did the pre-release reviews for D3 look like?
Are any of them talking about the endgame
i killed diablo?
the credits rolled?
whats the problem, chud?
You're not supposed to mention that.
endgame is still under embargo
It's not, it's just that the grind to get to 100 was too hard for 99% of the reviewers to complete in just 10 days.
>end game revolves around traveling with your keys to open a dungeon you already completed
its lame as hell anyway. this is a game you play once and put down forever
they're game journos. they can't imagine the concept of continuing to play a game after the credits roll.
Fextralife and Rhykker have. Fextra said that the endgame is shocking big ~100-200 hours of meaningful content per class. Rhykker said it's definitely larger than Diablo 3 + Ros.
Rykker is the biggest shit eating shill there is. Keep in mind that this homosexuals earns his money with (weak) diablo content. Of course he is going to shill the game.
Also fextralife is ltierally who
>Also fextralife is ltierally who
You know, that Black person who inflates his twitch viewer count by embedding his stream in every page of his ad-riddled SEO wiki website.
they're a group of gays that make terrible wiki's on games full of inaccurate information and have little twitch stream windows playing like ads on the side of the screen in a sad, desperate attempt to make a few shekels.
>definitely larger than Diablo 3 + Ros
wow, that's uhhhhh massive
Bigger than d2 lmao
Also much bigger than launch poe
d2 came out 20 years ago, poe came out 10 years ago and was made in a bald mans garage.
why would you hold it to that standard?
That's the standard for ARPG releases
What other standard would you hold it to?
>the standard for the billion dollar company is the same as games made 20 years ago
ok you're just moronic
Ok so what's the standard
It's beaten every single ARPG on the market, so either all of them also failed to be good or you're just looking for excuses to cry about D4
what's your deal? I made a joke about someone saying "definitely bigger than d3+ros" when that is literally main game+ endless rifts and bounties. you instantly start coping that it's okay because the new one is bigger than a 20 year old game.
how about you name another arpg with diablo 4s budget first moron
D3 had a massive budget too, any more cope?
that came out a decade ago. why are you okay with things not improving in ten years?
But it did improve
D4 releasing larger than launch d3 and RoS is clearly an improvement over d3 release
what is improved?
Endgame, gearing, amount of content
Why are you moving the goal posts?
>Endgame
Added mmo "content" and kept rifts from D3. not an improvement
>Gearing
Relative to D3, perhaps? Relative to any other arpg that's been on the market for the last decade it's still moron tier trash loot for normies to easily digest
>amount of content
Great, more low quality chores, and now i have to ride my horse for three hours around their mmo world so I can hit up all these specific "dungeons" for the illusion of more gameplay and content. I can't wait to do my dailies and weeklies to fulfill my battlepass.
>noooo more content doesn't count because I'm not good enough for it
Stick to your baal runs grandpa
>it thinks running mindless shit designed for literal morons requires being "good" at anything
lmao. show me YOUR baal runs, xir. I'd be surprised if you ever did one that didn't involve following a hammerdin botter and collecting its scraps.
It has 33% MORE slop! Aren't you happy now?
>more goalpost moving
Yep doomsissies taking another L
i seem to remember the campaign could be beat in like 3 hours and then maybe 8-9 hours of side shit. did i just miss a bunch of stuff?
It depends entirely on when you played. D3 has gone from one extreme end of the scale to another extreme end of the scale over the ~10 years it was alive.
>100h endgame content in a diablo game
>shocking big
????????????????????????????????????????
>~100-200 hours of meaningful content per class.
yea just like skyrim's radiant quests provide "meaningful content" lmao
>Rhykker
blizzard's #1 diablo hype man who's entire job relies on people playing the game. i'm sure he'll give us a genuine non-shill opinion.
>i'm sure he'll give us a genuine non-shill opinion.
Truly the bane of ARPGs. So few come along that the only people with a trustworthy opinion on them have their livelihood tied to each new games' success, and have an inherent conflict of interest. I hate modern youtube so much it's unreal.
>and Rhykker
The dude who couldn't bring it over his lips what a massive frick up it was from Blizzard to announce Diablo Immortal when People were expecting Diablo 4 lmao
>It's not revolutionary by any means.. 70
>OH MY GOSH!!! BOTW WITH FLOATING ISLANDS? TAKE MY 90!
Never ever let anyone tell you the nintendo tax isn't real.
Holy fricking shit, Sony is absolutely finished
Microsoft just shat all over the CMA and its Activision merger is 100% habbening
haha, Diablo 4 is yet another banger first party Xbox title, and we’ll have it for free on Gamepass in a matter of weeks
SONY IS TOAST!
>paid reviews
love how all the critical reviews acknowledge the actual game is great, they're just filled with trepidation as to how Blizz is gonna frick up the game with mtx bullshit
>mfw they put p2w stuff in after the sales go down
oh that's basically 100% confirmed at this point. They want the initial install base to get established and hooked first
That's why you should buy the Ultimate Edition friend, for the early access. Experience the game while it's still non-p2w for most time possible!
yfw in five years nobody's talking about D4, and blizzard announces an in-game store allowing you to buy the best legendaries in the game
I should I trust reviews from people who don't allow me to see them Let's Play or do first time walkthrough?
I wanna play it but I'm not buying a $70 F2P game. I'll wait for offline console version on a 50% sale or some shit. Not giving Blizzshit more money than that.
just stop being poor.
>waiting for the console version
There will probably be D4 private servers on PC well before that point.
didnt it take a decade for private d3 servers?
>I'll wait for offline console version
There is no offline console version.
I still ain't buying this communist bullshit.
Literally paying for reviews.
>100/100
Do some people have no shame?
the access media have no shame whatsoever. they are prostitutes, plain and simple.
Easiest skip of my life.
The score is dropping, already sub 90.
it's over
another 10/10 Microsoft Xbox first party BANGER, first Hi-Fi Rush, now Diablo…next up Starfield
is there a better first party hit maker than Microsoft??? we eating good Gamepass sisters
game is somehow a stepdown from d3. not only that, they've already announced day-1 balance patch to address class imbalances. don't be surprised if they keep nerfing your favorite class/spec on a whim, while claiming it goes against the developer design.
honestly i'm entertained they release a day 1 balance patch, and hope it completely reworks the mid-endgame meta - though sadly it will be minor for sure
would be hilarious to invalidate most build guides and force people do to at least one actual playthrough before switching brain off and mindlessly following maxroll
This is hilarious. I liked the game. I bought it, but it's in no way more than 8 even if you are super generous.
>yet again, Gankerpol insists upon itself that another TORtanic is coming
>yet again, game instead turns out to be another 9-10/10
reset the clock!
>TORtanic
They were talking about Diablo 4 going on a recieveing updates 12 years after it's launch clearly. You must have misunderstood.
The last genuinely bad game that released is Gollum, but Ganker doesn't talk about that.
Ganker only ever talks about flavor of the month or overproduced AAA games that will almost never be genuinely bad. When Ganker says a game is shit it means they either never played it, or they have nitpicks and are tired of people claiming it's perfect.
There is literally no possible way PoE is an acceptable game but somehow D4 is shit. D4 is comparable to PoE, though I wouldn't say better in every way. But in terms of graphics, UI, UX, etc? Obviously better.
If it was switched around and Blizzard was releasing PoE2 and GGG was releasing D4 they'd be saying GGG btfo every other arpg.
>that will almost never be genuinely bad.
they'll never be genuinely good, either. that's the problem. they're soulless, boring, designed for mass NPC consumption, which people who play games for their own sake, instead of as an extension of a shallow social identity, do in fact find "bad"
>Gollum, but Ganker doesn't talk about that.
are you kidding? we have consistently had 2-3 threads up for the past couple days
>look at these amazing skill trees we put into the game, you love these, right?
actually less options than d3 with runes
>openaxewound.com
Shilling your shitty site again huh homosexual.
>noooooooooo you have to use the website with the whitelisted critics mr shekelstein said so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111
Unironically kys shill.
>thinking about trannies when nobody else involved has signaled homosexualry of any kind
Psychosis.
Good on blizz for not cheaping out on the marketing budget
i don't care about homosexual journalists i want to see the score from homosexual consoomers
>88
>good
LMAO
>8.8/10 is bad
Yes. See
uh oh diablosisters...
strange
same as Diablo 2
>score below 90
jesus that means about a 6-7 score in real terms. cancelling preorder to wait this one out
You aint cancelling shit.
True lol. Can't cancel what I don't have!
Game isn't even fricking out fully and there's already a reviews of it.
These journalists had the full game for 2 weeks.
Don't bother. This guy already had his opinion packaged up for him that anything journalists say is paid and wrong. He's braindead.
>these are the kinds of people who enter threads about games they will never play
embarassing
>playing games with battle passes
>B-b-but its cosmetics
actual moronados
How the hell do these homosexuals never mention monetization in these games? Its a fricking 70$ with 2 different types of scams built into it, how do you ignore that?
They're paid not to mention it. Obviously
It fills me with such joy that these c**ts are going out of business and are becoming more and more irrelevant
They're alive and well the only thing going out is you chud. You lost.
NDA, it's the same thing with Street Fighter that has a battlepass but reviewers aren't allowed to mention it.
Monetization was disabled in the review beta.
>Playing anything Blizzard in 2023
>blizzard
biggest scam company even outranking apple
>already under 90
pretty much confirmed ireedemable trash if they cant break 90 even with the paid bonus
youtubers are in full shill mode
Been looking forward too it so much.
the battle pass doesnt contain actual gameplay advantages right? Not even stash tabs or something?
The free BP has all kinds of xp boosts and other similar shit in it.
The free battle pass has pic related. The paid one is 100% cosmetics.
>The paid one is 100% cosmetics.
This is the hard-to-swallow pill that Gankertards ignore. We have no indication that the game is going to devolve into p2w garbage. I have no doubt that eventually the game will basically die, and Blizzard will milk it dry with an in-game store. That's probably years away at this point, though, and seeing as they got intense backlash to Immortal's p2w mechanics, why would Blizzard make the same mistake with major release they need to succeed in order to keep the lights on for the next few years? WoW is dead, OW2 is dying, and nothing else generates substantial income. D4 is their only hope at the moment to avoid layoffs next quarter. It needs to be well received at launch, meaning there can't be meaningful p2w mechanics.
>seeing as they got intense backlash to Immortal's p2w mechanics
Yeah, where they proceeded to do frick all. They dont care, they know idiots will swallow it up, 3 or 4 seasons from now they're gonna slowly start introducing p2w shit
>Yeah, where they proceeded to do frick all
It's a god damn phone game. What are they supposed to do? It was always going to be p2w garbage, and if you download a diablo phone game expecting it not to have microtransactions up the ass, you're a moron.
>3 or 4 seasons from now they're gonna slowly start introducing p2w shit
I'd say more like 3 or 4 years, not seasons. Even the p2w shit in WoW doesn't ruin the game fully. It just means everything pre-endgame feels superfluous because some butthole can trade tokens for gold to buy better gear than you without actually playing as much as you did. I don't think D4 is ever going to be unplayable because of p2w mechanics, and to be honest, a lot of that has to do with the fact that the game is primarily pve. The only reason I give a shit about p2w in MMOs is because it ruins pvp. D4 looks to me like an effectively singleplayer game with instanced shards, guilds, etc. It's no more an MMO than FF14.
Im not gonna argue with a blizzdrone, enjoy your shitty mmo
I hate WoW, I hate Diablo Immortal, I hate OW2, and I hate their homosexual MtG knockoff. D4 is fine from what I played, and you seething over that isn't going to change my opinion just because you're trying to impress random balding losers on Ganker by pretending that you're enjoying your time reading spreadsheets to minmax your PoE builds. Enjoy your depressioncore games, chud.
strange, because even Blizzcuck tries to make D4 grim and dark it still feels like a grey filter put over WoW
thank you sirs have agodo day 🙂
>We have no indication that the game is going to devolve into p2w garbage.
>REMEBER TO LIKE, COMMENT, AND SUBSCRIBE BROS
They LITERALLY just made classic wow p2w what the frick are you on about
>LITERALLY
Go back. And anybody still paying to play wow at this point is a fricking moron. I'll be playing D4 private servers as soon as their available, but a year or so post-launch will be untouched by p2w. Screenshot this post so you can seethe about it later.
we don't know yet, they might not try it first season but it wouldn't surprise they hide either content, pay to fast or power in the paid track in the future
Do 9 year olds like it? That's all that matters
Good question. The satanic themes probably lost a lot of appeal with children after we moved away from everyone being raised christian
any negative review ? from what I looked at the game is basically diablo3 2
there are some yellow 70 reviews
many reviews still under judgment
if im being honest it looks like the devs didnt really know what they were doing as far as class design and dungeon design goes.
But its a shitty hamster wheel genre and most of the games suck anyways so im sure people will eat it up as they are starved for anything new and it doesnt look any worse than your generic diablo clone. im going to pass though.
>But its a shitty hamster wheel genre and most of the games suck anyways
This is the problem. All ARPGs are brainless grindfests. At "best", they're like PoE and require thousands of hours of research to fully comprehend. At "worst", they're like D3 and can be played completely on autopilot while stoned, drunk, or whatever else. In both cases, they're catering to dopamine treadmillers, and those aren't exactly the kinda people who should be pointing fingers at each other over who has the best maladaptive digital cope.
11 years for this... Diabosisters
I liked Diablo 3. Diablo 3 is a good game. I am excited to play Diablo 4.
88 is literally a 6.5-7.0 now. Good job, reviewers.
diablo2bros
>no one talking about the music
>no surprise
>so milquetoast it may as well not be there
Diablo II soundtrack was peak. D3 and D4 utterly fail in that regard.
>Diablo II soundtrack was peak
D2 soundtrack is literally 95% ambient sounds
most people who play these games dont care about music when its just hitting shit, moving, picking loot and repeat. That or they listen to shit in the background while doing the above things
Shows how the genre degenerated. And the people playing it. Soulless automatons.
It will be a hit in China.
music and voice acting from the characters in the beta was absolute bottom tier
Are there any Diablo-likes with a greater focus on story and quests? Or just something to chew on beyond the actual character building and loot treadmill?
Story? I don't think that the genre is well known for stories, but there is Shadows Awakening, which is a single player game. Or if you like Warhammer, then wh40k Martyr. But don't expect the quality of a book playing either, or any video game in general.
Even the paid shills on Ganker sound so fake, the pay must have been shit for a game so DoA
Does this look familiar? Stop noticing.
I just think it's hard in general not to sound fake with how much of a disaster pr the beta and the season pass were for this shit.
But I guess it's nu blizzard last resort since the project was still started by actual talent and not diversity hires who just ruined it
>diversity hires who just ruined it
Tell me you've never held down a good office job without telling me.
>if Ganker says it's good - it's bad
I didn't realize they've been saying that for over 11 years
Plese come back... buy chaos orbs with your credit card... my family is going to starve...
How is POE doing this time of year? Seems like every year there's a new "poe is dying!" frenzy so I never know when it's really happening.
it's 2 months into the league so it is quiet. the game is in a much improved state from the past year though so there hasn't really been much freaking out for the past 6 months.
the next league is after exilecon in the summer where they are finally showing poe2 again.
>OpenCritic
This shit needs to be taken down. It's always somehow 3-5 points higher than metacritic. They over inflate their scores. Games not a "must play" on metacritic. Will not be playing.

It's almost all literally just boring damage % increases.

Reminder every time someone does the argument "Ganker hates it! "Ganker BTFO!!!" or any other "omg Ganker is so stupid!" it's 100% posts made by shills. It's like that every single time.
For some reason shills always use this angle
checking reddit and it looks like people who fellate diablo 4 also fellate wow, who would have thought
Welcome to a Diablo 4 thread.
You're probably lot seeing a lot of weird replies. Don't worry! Here's a guide to posts in Diablo 4 threads!
>HAHAHA X $S FOR THIS!?
Poorgays are prominent on Ganker because this U.S. image board is not region locked. $70~120 is a lot of money in European countries, Australia, and straight up isn't feasible for developing third world countries. It's human nature for the poor to envy the wealthy. Envy plagues the poorgay because even if they had an interest in Diablo 4 it would require months almost a year of saving.
>GOYSLOP ILL JUST PLAY POE/EPOCH/D2/etc.
These games were probably on steady declines BEFORE Diablo 4's announcements. With the announcement and subsequent beta releases they have been spiraling. Why do poorgays NOT want you to play Diablo 4? Because it keeps their freemium/off brand products alive. Last Epoch has been dipping to sub 500 peak players and POE, even as a free service, has been struggling to maintain over 15k outside season launches. That's less than a typical WoW medium population server. The survival of their game depends on the failure of D4.
>*INSERT MISINFORMATION, BLATANTLY WRONG STATEMENT, ETC.*
The modus operandi of a shit poster is to pollute a thread with misinformation to repel people who may be interested in the game. In addition, they want to bait more and more responses to further shit up the thread ultimately occupying a post spot for those legitimately interested in discussing the game. Simply do not engage - it's a no win scenario. Your responses will be cherry-picked for keywords and they will just continue the shitposting.
Keep in mind that POE, Epoch, etc. aren't bad games and you aren't forced to only play one of them for an eternity. Many mentally stable individuals will actually play all of them. The true opposition mentioned above? They have no choice. They can't afford to play games as they come out.
Save this for future threads - I know i will! Cheers and see you in Sanctuary
Thanks for repost. +1 karma.
based and truthpilled.
>im not gonna pay 70$ for dozens of hours of content and joy compared to your run of the mill 25h max single player games
>arguing and b***hing about the difference between 40 to 70$
HA poorgays. thats how much i spend in an hour when i go out. poorgays gonna be poor and im gonna keep enjoying life. imagine being so poor and pathetic that you min max minutes of content per dollar LOL disgusting heathens.
Not playing this game, just coming in to say Inarius did nothing wrong and if the game makes him a villain I will firebomb Blizzards office.
Average Diablo Fan
I guess that's one more master piece of shit I won't be playing, let alone buying.
So....what is the endgame like? Why does no one mention it?
>So....what is the endgame like? Why does no one mention it?
Force Gaming gave the most coherent explanation of endgame that I've heard (watch both the Endgame Explained as well as PVP and End Game Loop sections): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ay_3bp29ds
Basically there's:
>Nightmare Dungeons: Sort of a cross between greater rifts from Diablo 4 and Mythic Dungeons from WoW, as these dungeons will have affixes tied to keys, and you level up the keys as you clear them
>Helltides: Every other hour, for one hour, two regions get taken over by demons. You can go there and kill stuff/do events, get currency, and use currency to gamble on equipment for specific slots
>World Bosses: Every other hour a world boss spawns, I believe that there are three at launch, they can spawn in a variety of locations
>Tree of Whispers: The equivalent to D3's bounties, but they're not identical
>PVP zones: Open world PVP zones with activities and bosses, you get currency and can gamble for loot and cosmetics with the currency
Most of that sounds like legit soulless MMO garbage. Jesus christ.
It's an ARPG. What were you wanting the end game to be? You repeat activities to get better loot to do harder versions of the activities, to get better loot.
A lot of the people b***hing about D4 are complaining about the few things that make it akin to classic ARPGs, like grinding items being the primary source of content in the endgame. You'd think these morons would at least research the genre before pretending to be an oldgay Gankertard who cut his teeth on D2.
It's literally just PoEgays coping because their dying game is about to get put into the ground.
holy blizzshill copium lmao. the diablo 4 beta caused BFR to have one of his most successful leagues in history because people were like "that's it?" on d4 and wanted a real arpg lmao. face it, diablo 4 isn't competing with any real arpg on the market. it's a battlepass mmo for morons.
I was expecting it to be a single player game with an "option" to party, and at the very least match the endgame diversity of something like path of exile's atlas, and not be a "world events and world bosses pvp zones" mmo garbage game where a hundred other morons are wandering around your screen, with the only single player endgame being just fricking greater rifts going up in number forever again.
it sounds like they designed this to be a soulless corporate game-as-a-service to compete against other mmo garbage like lost ark, not to be an actual diablo game.
>I was expecting it to be a single player game with an "option" to party
I don't think that anyone has made an ARPG like that since the original Diablo.
This is how out of touch the boomer b***hers are. Literally no service game has single player. SP offline servers hasn't been industry standard for almost a decade. b***hing to b***h with zero context, investment, or knowledge of the game. Go back to minecraft.
sounds boring and repetetiv but I dont know what I expected
>Nightmare Dungeons: Sort of a cross between greater rifts
>greater rifts
ALREADY FRICKING DROPPED, this shit ruined Diablo 3 totally. Fricking worst piece of content I've done.
Must be pathetic that you're trying so desperately to find something to complain about you try to get mad over standard arpg content
>mad over standard arpg content
Name 3 other ARPG games that has a "rift type" of content where it's just a boring DPS race to clear mobs, with nothing dropping and is just 100% a gear check?
But greater rifts do drop gear
Did your talking points not tell you that? Maybe play a game or do the bare minimum to look it up before speaking
dont want to be that guy but at least PoE came with new endgame dungeons, rewards, maps, bosses and so on every few months
Blizzard has yet to prove that they can update anything else but the cosmetic shop
>trying so desperately
I played the beta Black person. the game is soulless. you don't have to try to find things wrong with what they've bastardized the diablo brand into.
>standard arpg content
you've never played an arpg. this is soulless mmo content for actual morons, not arpg content.
What didn't you like about greater rifts? If it was how random and samey they were, this should be different. These send you back to existing dungeons, rather than randomized tilesets, and they have affixes that change up how things play (both with buffs to the player/enemies and new mechanics).
>No loot dropped
>pure DPS check, meaning that there's no build variation or diversity as you race against a clock so anything other than more DPS is useless
>awfully boring, both layout and monsters
>rewards is being able to grind another level of the same kind of rifts to gain a minimal upgrade so you can push higher rifts
This comes from someone that has most of the rare items in BDO and spent like a month(in game time) grinding a single drop
But rifts did drop loot? They're one of the best sources of loot in Diablo III. Nightmare Dungeons drop loot too.
at least it's combined with mythic dungeons which ruined wow
>Sort of a cross between greater rifts from Diablo 4 and Mythic Dungeons from WoW
Wow so they took the worst aspect from each game and put that abortion into D4? Color me excited.
>The rest is just mmotrash
Yike. Just one. A singular yike.
Wait it's all WoW + RoS ?
>half the shit is on a schedule
>end game literally forces you to party up with other people
HARD pass.
>end game literally forces you to party up with other people
World bosses are the only thing you're "forced" to party for.
The Diablo 4 community is probably the worst one I've seen. Any game that forces me to party up with the type of people that this game targets is a hard no. I was gonna give this shit a try because I like ARPGs. I've played D1 to D3, Chronicon, Grim Dawn + expansions, Lost Ark, Torchlight 1 + 2 but this is a hard fricking pass. D4 is NOT and will NEVER be an ARPG. It's an MMORPG pretending to be an ARPG.
>It's an MMORPG pretending to be an ARPG
It's doing a very bad job at being an MMORPG then, because there's only 1 activity that's group play focused, and you'll only ever see 12 people on your screen.
>helltides = Time gated
>world bosses = time gated
Yeah, imagine if any other ARPG time gated your activity to get loot.
>static open world
>forced multiplayers walking around "your' world
>world bosses
>world events
>BUT INSTANCED DUNGEON RAIDS AND THE PERSPECTIVE LOOKS LIKE AN ARPG!
it's an lmmoa
>journalists are known for barely playing a game
>have only been able to play the game for a few days
>"OMG THE ENDGAME IS PERFECT!!"
All the D2 gays and prominent streamers are also saying its kino. No argument. Headcanon and imaginary boogiemen won't dissolve FACT.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
bridge yourself I join any thread I feel like joining you fricking Black person
it is hilarious watching Gankerirgins scramble when the good reviews started coming out
Nice tortanic you have here fricking morons lol
Whatever Blizzard's paying you, it's clearly too much.
My first Diablo game and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a blast. Diablo 1 and 2 scared the frick out of me before, now I'm bigboy enough to play it alone.
>the story ends after chapter 1
>rest is just chores for random NPCs
>complete game will be released over the course of seasons. promise!
holy shit frick blizzard, they are literally releasing another unfinished product
That sounds too stupid to be true, even for blizzard.
don't listen to that gay, there's a prologue, SIX (6) acts, then the post-game
WRONG. read the reviews. the other acts are side quests you do for NPCs, and the post game is a hook for live-service story patches. what you've played in the beta IS the main story, with the exception of the final dungeon
what the frick?
at least they admit they have no capacity to write a good story so they just cut it completely
What the frick
>it is a good game because it will get good content in the future
blame path of exile for that, honestly. they've been releasing a new league content expansion every 3 months and new major story expansions with all new endgame 1-2 times a year for 10 years now and that's what you have to compete with if you want to stay in the arpg market today instead of being one-off like Grim Dawn for example. there's nothing wrong with Grim Dawn and lots of people like it, but blizzard is too large a company to make real games anymore and they are required by their israeli asset manager shareholders and board members to make exploitative and addictive "services" and "revenue streams" instead of actual games.
>new major story expansions
AHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHA
Yes. The original atlas, Shaper, Elder, Sirus, Maven, Eater & Exarch, all brought entirely new endgame stories and systems.
Are you upset because you didn't get 76 hours of unskippable dialogue and cinematic cutscenes with each of them?
THAT'S A STORY
AHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So you are indeed a snoygger moviegamer malding that he didn't get his cinematics. Thanks for playing.
>1 or 2 npcs
>some new ultra uber uber uber Black person to kill
>handful of lines of dialogue
>complete asspulls everywhere to establish some extremely tenuous link to existing "story"
AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
>doesn't explore the game (probably never even beat the acts)
>only experiences what it's handheld and guided towards
>complains that poe isn't like its moviegames with objectives and quest markers and forced dialogue and cutscenes

so painfully easy to spot zoomers who never played diablo 2 or any classic arpgs and only knows mmos and diablo 3 onward, if anything at all.
What the frick?
>the story ends after chapter 1
Does anyone know what happens to Lilith then?
>pay to win games
>single player with microtransactions
>2023
>high reviews across the board
I'm thinking paid reviews without factoring in how post launch support will go
And just hollywood "critic" reviews it's all bullshit
This one is a must skip
Daily reminder that when you're a journalist/critic/eceleb you're NOT ALLOWED to ACTUALLY dislike/hate on a product released by a big company
If you say that it's good or even a mastepiece you get bonuses, perks, invitations to events, access to preview copies and free shit
But if you say that it's meh or bad you get blacklisted, don't get anything mentioned above and possibly lose your job
The choice is obvious no?
explain this
Blizzard didn't care about the reception of Immortals, they are after the whales. They have INSANE marketing for D4 and want to reach a wider audience.
the public opinion was already set on it being trash, so giving it a high rating was no option.
when was the Immortal review released? D4 review is 4 days before early access, 8 before regular release. there's a huge incentive to give it good scores
diablo immobile was hated from the time it was announced because it wasn't diablo 4. it would have been reviewed poorly regardless of how good or not it was. I played both, and I can tell you there's not a whole lot of difference between them. They're both awful, but Diablo 4 has the "true successor" title, the full backing of Actiblizz marketshilling department, and a legion of desperate brand loyalists high on hopium. They're going to get bored with D4 after a week or two, if that, and move on and memory hole everything about the game almost immediately.
Are you actually confused? The gaming public, at least officially, hates phone games. The reverses the usually social pressures to conform.
The public opinion was against immortal so journos could say that its bad, but not straight up trash it
Blizzard knew they'd make millions off ot anyway so they didn't care about meh reviews
This game has had a crazy hype campaing for a long ass time though, so journos were NOT given a choice
>paid shills give it a high score
Powerful.
>another day where another triple A gets glowing reviews
Seen this before. Now we wait for the players review.
I've been trying to find what's in the battlepass and what's the rewards in it are. Am I moronic or is in not possible to find it?
The season doesn't even start until about a month after launch, so I doubt that it's available anywhere. It's cosmetics though, that's the answer.
Why are we not allowed to see what's in the battlepass if we can already pay to upgrade it?
At the fricking end of the rift, not when you kill mobs.
I know they have two cosmetic armor sets for each class behind the battlepass, maybe a mount too but besides that IDK.
>not a single Black person reviewer mentions predatory shop and microtransactions
Powerful. israeli. Deceitful.
They gated it one month after release so that the interviews can gloss over it.
But considering the clear paid shills ITT they're fully aware this is going to flop big time.
and how many of you Black folk are poe shills?
Force Gaming has a whole section of his review discussing the store and monetization.
Force Gaming mentions it.

LMAO what a bunch of sad virgins
I will be enjoying the new critically acclaimed Diablo game 🙂
YES! ITS AMAZING. Thank you reviewers and content creators for validating my choices!!
Reality is ARPG space is barren and there aren't any real, REAL, legitimate competitors in that space. Anyone can release slop and get traction until someone gets the same idea. See Lost Arc. Now soon see Diablo 4.

a couple guys I posted on a civilization forum with did exactly that in the late 90s. Just some generic name like strategydungeon.com or something and got free copies of a bunch of games while posting some half assed review.
No no no. I don't want JUST the game. I want a fat paycheck.

I don't care about them raping women or selling out to chinks if they made decent games
they haven't even released an actual new game since 2015, and have delivered nothing but remakes and online multiplayer GAAS slop for the last decade. i don't know how anyone could even hold hope at this point that diablo 4 will be an actual good game.
>nooo games getting updates is BAD GaaS GaaS GaaS
Why would anyone cry that their favorite game isn't abandonware?
I'll be able to play my "abandonware" games even decades later. Good luck playing your blizzard games once their servers close though LMAO
that's why I wrote "if"
>they haven't even released an actual new game since 2015
Overwatch - 2016
Oh you mean that online-only mutliplayer lootbox gaas game that doesn't actually exist anymore? Yea people will definitely remember and play that "game" 20 years from now.
>moving goalposts completely to the entire other side of the field
you need to learn what "moving goalposts" means, morono. my first post already called out their
>online multiplayer GAAS slop
and all you did was post an example of it that no longer even exists because it was never a real game and they already threw it in the trash where it belongs lmao
>"Blizzard haven't even released an actual new game since 2015"
>OW from 2016 gets pointed out
>NOOOOOO, THAT IS NOT A REAL GAME
>YOU ARE A moronO, IT'S A FAKE GAME FFS
>YOU CAN'T EVEN PLAY IT ANYMORE HAHAH LMAO LOL
You are severely mentally ill. You could have just went "My bad, I forgot about OW. They haven't made an actual new game since 2016 then" instead of looking like the gigantic manchild you are.
>impotent autistic incel screeching
>accusing others of mental illness
calm down, sport. i didn't forget about "overwatch" at all because it was never a real game. it was a multiplayer-only service that you were allowed to rent temporarily and now you can't do that anymore because the service has been discontinued. Starcraft 2 was the last actual game that blizzard released. I can still go back and play through it's single player campaign today, and it's not half bad. It's no masterpiece akin to the original, but it's not online-only GAAS slop (which are not games)
Ganker is ALWAYS WRONG.

They said the same thing about Diablo 3. I'll pass either way.
Imagine giving NuBlizz money.
Give me back Diablo 3 campaign if I have to sit through 15h of new blizzard writing before getting the actual game holy frick what a disaster.
I miss Deckard dying to some butterfly lady and Leah going menhera. Atleast the D3 campaign had fun memes this just sounds like its going to be "press skip to continue" tier

Is a Werebear focused build any good or is it shit?
It's very good if you go with a Pulverize build.
no all the people who had access to the end game besides a few people are saying druid is pure ass with only 1 good build.
The duality of man
Diablo 3 is a zoomer game and even the mobile homosexuals (read: the majority of this fricking website now) are too young to remember its release. One of the most anticipated releases to be a giant downgrade and disappointment
Ganker gushed over the beta and now you're surprised that it's a great game?
>gushed
Ganker did no such thing, it was universally trashed shill
70-90 DOLLARS when we are literally in a recession. its at most 35 hours long, the end game REALLY has to be good for this shit. plus loot skin is behind pay walls in a loot based game.
look at this disgusting poorgay lol, your weekly allowance from mommy doesnt cover 70$ ? lolololol stay poor homosexual.
>70-90 DOLLARS when we are literally in a recession
this is not the gotcha you think it is, in a year or two $70 are gonna be worth a loaf of bread at most
you are literally better off NOT saving money

Yes.
No it's not true but you already knew this so here's the (You) you are looking for.
The whole story has been leaked for like months.
>I heard the plot is unfinished
It's technically both yes and no. It's not unfinished in the MGSV sense where it will just hit a wall where they ran out of development time.
It is technically "unfinished" in the sense that we know that seasons and expansions will continue the story. So make of that what you will. I wouldn't call it unfinished per se, but some people might.
Don’t care I only play retro games (which includes project Diablo 2) and occasionally pirate a new game.

Got quiet all of a sudden. Shills must have made a new thread and moved to it.
relying on the tried and tested shill method of COOM
Why do streamers get to play the game before everyone else? Won't they have a race to get to lvl 100 hardcore?
And we are gonna get there first, solidifying our position as streamers and bringing in even more bucks from sponsorships, donors, bounties, ads, etc.
You mad? 😉
Activision Nu-Blizzard is a incompetent failure as a company. You need streaming shills with following of sheep to represent the game in a good light. Activision Nu-Blizzard pays the shills. Shills are under contract. They represent game in a unathentic way because they gain financial benefits out of it. Streamers get to play earlier because it's wanted by Nu-Blizzard. You supposed to pre-order to be part of the subhuman race.

Watching the trailers I think I am just not the target audience anymore. A generic pop song in a Diablo teaser?! Am I taking crazy pills?
soulless hollywoodfied trailer
feels like a cowaduty ad
blizzard is dead
Makes me concerned about the actual game. I got burned by Diablo III. I am sitting this one out.
I kind of liked that one. Great timing with the song honestly. Definitely not as bad as the billie eilish ad they put out recently lol. I think it was this one, but I'm not creating a israelitegle account just to view it so let's hope it embeds correctly.
But yea, I miss when they used to hire composers to come in and make original music for games and give it a real identity of its own instead of just licensing fotm pop songs.
Anyone on the fence just holdfast for 3 weeks. As soon as the honeymoon is over the gaming world will turn hard on this monstrosity
Yeah I'm thinking about buying it actually even if I know it will be kind of shit just to play with friend, but the 90 dollar price is the biggest turnoff ever.
I'm in the same boat. I'd like to play with friends but everyone I know who is considering getting it feels raw about the ridiculous pricetag
Same. Its hard to convince anyone to try out a $70 game with me.
>3 weeks
It only took a couple days for people to reach inferno in D3 and find out it was terrible. Shouldn't take long to see if D4 is gonna be a repeat or not.
it's modern blizzard, everything they do is shit and for the sole purpose of lining bobby's pockets.
i still dont understand how blizzard gets a pass just like nintendo. every other company gets destroyed for the exact same practices blizz + nintendo do.
already played the beta twice. gameplay framework is too limited. people will 100% turn on this game once they get to the "endgame" and realize there's nothing there.other than last minute asset flips and AI generated shitty affixes for doing them. screencap this.
the amazing endgame people want simply isn't there.
i see this and it just looks like frickin d3 to me
tell me, is there gear that adds +100000% to a skill?
it plays nothing like d3. that snappy quick feel of d3 simply isn't in this game. d4 plays like you're coated in molasses from the travelling to the combat.
the gear is 95% auto generated trash affixes that no one in their right mind would use. legendaries are so fricking rare in a LOOT game. if you don't get a legendary with the right affix you literally cannot play a build. and because LOOT is so fricking rare you're playing majority of the game as an anemic frick.
it's just so boring and bad.
Why do you keep posting chest opening webms as if theyre a bad thing somehow?
it's a gambling chest that you need to buy an expensive key for and THERE IS NO LOOT IN A LOOT GAME
he's a schizo
if only you knew
>arpg loot is auto generated
Woah bro that's so crazy
i'm not talking about auto generated loot. i'm talking about the SHITTY auto generated affixes. literally you have the most random shit affixes that no one in their right mind would use.
None of those are auto-generated you tard
>rare items are rare in a LOOTER game
that's actually good, moron. Legendaries felt awful in D3 because they dropped too often, in D2/D4 it feels great when it happens.
I guarantee you won't be saying the same thing when you struggle to find a piece that your build need. Screencap this shit.
really showing your age, zooms.
kek i played d1 when you're still in your dad's balls gay.
i played diablo 1 when it came out, and I was 12 years old. do you even know what bobafett's trainer is? you wouldn't be championing curated (non)loot and complaining about trade economies or rare items being rare if you grew up with these games, larpzoom.
>bro just farm 10000 hours for a SOJ bro!
>farming for 10000 hours is a good mechanic bro!
i'm championing more loot because those mechanics are a waste of time and energy. get those rose tinted goggles out of your ass.
>playing the game is a waste of time
then don't lmao. go play candy crush or league of legends or whatever trash you like instead.
>slurping bad game mechanic
trash taste and mentally ill
Centering builds around having a full set of specific legendaries felt moronic in Diablo III. Your equipment was essentially static at end game because you already knew what had to be in every slot and had means of gambling in a semi-reliable fashion to get them quickly once you hit 70. I know because I did it three times in the past couple of weeks.
>people will 100% turn on this game once they get to the "endgame" and realize there's nothing there
Except the type of people that play these games love what's waiting for them at end game.
Battle passes.
the type of people still hyped for d4 will never make it to the endgame in the first place lmao. they'll pay $90 to play the campaign once then shelve it and wait for next product, which is exactly what blizzard wants. these corpos operate like third world scammers now, and their products and pitches are made to attract and appeal to the dumbest motherfrickers out there, aka the easiest to repeatedly scam and exploit.
the game is trash and a scam but what is that webm supposed to mean?
you open a chest at lvl 5 and what do you expect? Red gear lvl 80? You obviously get gear restricted to the lvl of the zone fricking dumbass
the key price doesn't scale with level, you want a popup that says "moronic players if you aren't max level do not purchase keys to open chests that are based on your level " ?
The game is bad for many other reasons
oh wow, reviews, cool
even this is wrong
there wont be backlash for 6 months at least
>D2 and PoE gays on suicide watch
Who knew Blizz was actually capable of releasing something good
Holy shit poesisters, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? OUR RESPONSE? WHERE WE AT?
>tfw cash shop cosmetics look much better than anything that drops
>So far, nothing has convinced me the endgame is so brilliant that it's worth stripping everything out of the initial leveling process. The thin storytelling doesn't help either
Ouch.
why do you stupid Black folk want every single new release to fail?, shouldnt you morons be happy that a loot of good vidya is coming out?. I know its actiblizz and its filled with dirty israelites and pink haired homosexuals, but those morons are only there for diversity sake, the actual people that worked on this game are just regular dudes making a living, and it shouldnt even matter, just be happy good video games are being made you wienersuckers.
i want good games to succeed and trash to fail.
>why do you stupid Black folk want every single new release to fail?
I want any video game based off the live service model to fail.
Battle Pass? Please die.
Microtransactions? Please die.
Always online DRM? Please die.
Battle pass = hard pass
>**Up to 4 days based on the estimated access; actual play time subject to possible outages and applicable time zone differences.
Cringe
basically first day of early access will be unplayable, and then again when the game launches for all versions
I love modern gaming.
truly videogames are art
I'm not falling for Activision propaganda. This, like all their other games, is a slot machine in disguise and I am not buying it.
This board needs thread ids to stop dev shill threads like this.
BAN ALL 1PBTID Black folk
SAGE IN ALL FIELDS.
y'all so negative, I swear
>nightmare dungeons are literally just damage sponges
It's fricking over.
>mobs don't die instantly and I can't 1 button
>this is...le bad
>Pianoing flask bad
>Pianoing skills of cool down good
Zoomers being nostalgic over D3 is the gayest shit on earth.
the same people now praise the star wars prequel movies
>Check out every review
>Every fricking one of them has
>D4 is back at roots!
>D4 is grandeur!
>D4 is the same formula. Its amazing.
>Perfect ARPG!
>Nothin else on top of that
>Just those generic general descriptions
>You may replace D4 with any random videogame title and nothing would have change
At this point im sure Blizzard made AI generated sample of the review and threw it at every reviewer.
None of them mentioned the battle pass or cosmetic shop in an above average priced early access game therefore can all be thrown into the trash.
>talked about gameplay instead of some optional cosmetics
Yeah I know Ganker can't tolerate actually playing games but this is a good thing
>everyone agrees
>it cannot possibly be that those things are true, it must be... LE EVIL AI
It's very common practice in marketing to make your "reviewers" say a few of the same key points, yea. it's the easiest way out there to tell when something is astroturfed shilling from corporations. Same shit happens all the fricking time in politics and mainstream media as well., Every program will say the exact same thing and really try to beat you over the head with it over and over until their message becomes the narrative. Literally what Gamergate was about, not that anyone remembers or cares at this point.
I don't understand why Blizzard would take a successful franchise, refine it in the sequel, and then completely change the formula for entries 3 and 4.
I just don't get it.
How don't you get that it's literally not the same company
because d2 can only be enjoyed by turboautists whereas d3 had more mainstream appeal. you may not like it but that's the main reason
What's confusing you? D2 was dogshit and they wanted to make a good game instead, so they did
They are a publicly traded company so they are legally obligated to dumb their games down for normie bux.
D3 was deeper than d2 in every way tho?
Harder content and more build options
Blizzard games circa 2005 were far more dumbed down than today
>Attack power and Defense power
>Sets that give you 10000% multiplier
Diablo 3, and by extension Diablo 4, is a pox and stain in the face of ARPGs.
go rmt an enigma and cope more
D3 had more builds than D2 ever did
Yet the only viable ones where the ones with the highest multiplier in their set items. Diablo 3 is absolute garbage, and it was praised just like Diablo 4 was on release. You will NOT bait me again, shillhomosexualBlack person.
You can make more builds on one class in d3 with sets than you can across all of d2
Where the frick is Diablo
Diablo transitioned into a woman.
Had his soul stone destroyed in Diablo II. Took over his daughter's body (his daughter being born of a post-soulstone posessed Warrior from Diablo 1 and Adria following the end of the game) in Diablo III, then got killed again, this time in Heaven. Presumably he will be or already has been reborn in Hell along with the other two members of the greater evils and the four lesser evils, all of whom had been combined into a single Prime Evil Diablo during Diablo III by way of the Black Soulstone.
I'm looking forward to 10/10 Lilith SFM.
Diversity 4 the pozzed game pre-order now to maybe get early access to our dog shit game!
Diablo always had "diversity" but they're taking it way too far in D4 with the character creator allowing for things like Blackmancers and diverse barbarians, basically destroying all the cultures and peoples they built in the previous games.
Diablo never had 5 Black folk on a starting screen or a pozzed story of some prostitute named Lilith taking over
