You will be bombarded with 'le bad' replies. It's probably going to be okay, albeit off-putting with the cosmetic and battle pass mtx shenanigans. Otherwise, probably fun gameplay wise.
much like resurrected, i kinda want to play it to see what they have done with it. and then i realise i just dont have the time or frankly the motivation to play a grindy game beyond the most casual of interactions which would be a few hours of gaming per month tops
It doesn't matter how bad or good the game will sell, it is a name brand that zoomers missed out on from 1996-2011 that they missed out and will buy, consume and enjoy it just like they did with Diablo 3.
Does it look good? Aesthetically and visually yes. Gameplay wise? No, because it's just D3 again.
Always online and instanced game world also is unappealing.
I do not know how Blizzard has still retained fans/good faith in this day an age after their repeated failures in how they handle IPs.
If anything D4 will light the fire under GGG's PoE2 and EHG's Last Epoch and Crate's Grim Dawn 2.
Diablo 4 is a no risk/all reward venture for Blizzard. If it fails? People will still be sucking on Diablo 2's tit, classic or ressurected. If it succeeds, they're rich.
I guess people hate Diablo 3 but I don’t really get why. It was a lot of fun to just get really drunk or high and play with friends, we played through it like 5 times. Can someone explain what sucked about it besides the gay WoW art style
Blizzard really shut everybody up with that Diablo 2 re-release. Turns out people don't ACTUALLY want Diablo 2 anymore. The idea behind grinding the same zone over and over and over again is outdated, no one cares about doing that anymore.
People are eternally mad at Path of Exile right now for being even the slightest bit frustrating to gear and grind for. Diablo 3 wasn't bad, it was just early. If it released today, people would praise it for "respecting people's time"
diablo 2 has as big of a community as 3 despite 3 selling 5 times the amount. Its insane how many people defend diablo 3 when that game was made for the most braindead morons in gaming

D2 having more reddit upvotes is only proof that morons like (You) pay more attention to it
Not surprising since the game sucks ass to play so you just jerk each other off online

You must be confused, Im not the one shilling Diablo 2
Do you actually, genuinely believe that anything in D2 comes close to high rift difficulty? I seriously hope not

So ur only proof is still sales? Despite the fact Ive shown more proof than you that Diablo 2 is CURRENTLY more active than Diablo 3? You have no argument. How do YOU know that 3 is more active on console than 2 without bringing up sales? Also: >Moving the goalpost to console
kek
You are honestly so fricking dumb. All youve done is deflect and scream about console sales when we all know 3 has sold better than 2 and yet still has a less active community despite its high sales. Shilling 3 wont bring it back to life. At least I admit 2 has issues when you constantly shill 3 in every thread
I literally played it like 2 months ago. NOBODY is discussing anything within any of the channels because they don’t fricking work. The worst part of D3 was that it was basically pointless to communicate with others since all loot was account-bound. In D2 you have to communicate with others; if the global chats don’t work then you have to resort to other platforms like .jsp or discord, which is absolutely inexcusable.
If it's not basically just vampire Survivors, people will hate it. Gamers don't want gameplay anymore, they just want to see shiny loot explosions and visual effects.
I was skeptical until I got in the beta. Played a sorcerer for >30 hours. The animations are god-tier. Abilities actually feel impactful and the gameplay loop is pretty addicting. I also think they've done a much better job with itemization than diablo 3.
On the the other hand, the world seems kinda drab and enemies are not that too difficult until you hit max level and start doing dungeons.
I was unironically willing to buy it full price until I saw the battlepass. I remembered who I had to give money.
I'm gonna play it because I have 30 euro sitting in my bnet account from selling wow gold.
But I expect a fantastic Diablo game riddled with microtransactions and obvious "we could have added it for free but thought you'd pay extra for it so we left it out" shit.
its going to be as bad as D3 but with a better atmosphere and slightly better (but still shit) itemization.
Thye are going way too hard on the story elements. a guy i nthe beta said that you get interupted every 10 minutes for in game cutscenes like act 1 diablo 3. it sounds awful.

If it's Blizzard's attempt at being Lost Ark, it's going to be amazing
>its <shit company> attempt at being <shit game>
oh boy so much hype
clownish take

It's bad product (do not mistake this garbage with game) attached to cash shop, heavily influenced by Californian lifestyle. It can't be good
preordered day 1
this pig paid $70 for a free to play game
90 actually
Why?
Is it really free to play? Dropped.
no it's $70, but it's built as a live service cash shop game

Gameplay was the best part of d3, it's everything else that was mediocre.
I will wait until its out. I would love it to be good but I have no expectations for it to be so. If I watch gameplay and it looks good, I'll get it.
I guess people hate Diablo 3 but I don’t really get why. It was a lot of fun to just get really drunk or high and play with friends, we played through it like 5 times. Can someone explain what sucked about it besides the gay WoW art style
People wanted a sequel to Diablo 2 and they instead got a simplified dumbed down Torchlight 2 sequel loosely based off Diablo.
If you're a fan of the genre its terrible because of how shallow and basic it is.
If you're not a fan of the genre at all I could see how it would be fun for a little bit.
>How many of you will play it anyway?
I haven't touched DIII or Immortal, so I probably won't touch this.
I'm glad they're bringing the druid back, sucks that the werewolf and werebear forms only last for five seconds, though.
D4 Druid visually looks amazing, he really hit up the gym since D2.
That said, if you want a druid where forms actually matter, try Last Epoch
Having forms be attacks is a neat twist on druid. Other games do the full permanent druid forms already and while its fun, it limits options.
Having a handful of bear attacks which you mix with all your other options is imo more fun than just bear mode and limits.
My fiancé is certainly looking forward to it as she loves Diablo 3. She's already said she'll pay for the $99 version to play the Beta.
i'll play it and enjoy it for a few hours before remembering how these always-online ARPGs are just watered-down MMORPGs now
you'll be really reminded when you're doing world bosses and dailies too

Oh frick off, that's like when Capcom released DmC: Devil May Cry and said "whelp no one wants DMC" and we had to wait a fricking decade for DMC5
Except Blizzard actually released Diablo 2, changed literally nothing, and no one plays it right now
>changed literally nothing
Factually wrong
alright proceed to elaborate (except you wont)
Do I really need to post every change log past 1.14d?
Yes. I want you to list all the changes because then it'll make you look very dumb.
>it is you who are the dumb!
HOLY FRICKING moron
go play with your Ma'amazon

get fricked
D2R is riddled with huge problems that shouldn’t fricking exist.
>chat is completely broken
>long load times between making new games
These are inexcusable for the type of game that D2 is. It should come as no surprise that people get frustrated with it.
>chat is completely broken
this hasn't been a problem for at least a year unless you play on console
I literally played it like 2 months ago. NOBODY is discussing anything within any of the channels because they don’t fricking work.

Also most class suck without gear only sorc and p
aly are viable.
it's going to hassle you constantly for money.
If it's not basically just vampire Survivors, people will hate it. Gamers don't want gameplay anymore, they just want to see shiny loot explosions and visual effects.
I will play it. I played D2 religiously for a bit and I enjoyed D3's MS.
Wow bros diablo 3 is so fricking active…
the top post today has 30 upboats…wow im sure Diablo 2 and PoE are on their knees…
Do we even know how many acts will we get? How long is the game? I really doubt that they have much more than the vertical slice they already showed.
Someone export the druid model. I can put him in better games
>oh yeah diablo 2 is amazing
>do you play it
>oh no
interesting that
