I usually also think that the twitch views argument is a retarded metric, but in this case is just too big of a fall to ignore.
From a million viewers on launch, to less than 1000 bare 3 months later, dont think any(online) game has lost literally 99% of its viewers that quick.
Theres obviously something wrong with the game
>one patch DESTROYS a game after a successful launch
has there ever been another game that went from "considered pretty good" (at least by normalfags) to "hated by almost everyone" this soon after release?
It's unbelievable how fucked up Blizzard is honestly. Diablo 4 was a game that people wanted to like. The launch went well too and people saw potential with a few more patches.
What does Blizzard do? Nerf nerf nerf. Remove this. Make this harder. Fuck focusing on an endgame. Introduce a new league where you have to do normals to get league items. Nerf xp you get from normals at the same time.
It's like they WANT to fuck you over. I assume they just hate the Diablo brand and the players it attracts.
>It's like they WANT to fuck you over.
seems like they were trying to force people to play a few hours every day. like mobile games do to keep people playing.
seems like it backfired though.
I think you're right. I feel like their marketing/hr whatever department that analyzes user statistics have been looking at mobile game statistics. Blizzard since then have been implementing mobile shit in their mainline games ever since.
Loot with different ilevel and randomized stats in WoW. This is fine if you can auto-battle like you can in mobile games. But when you actively have to play the game this becomes horrendous.
Constant log-in systems/rewards. Constant drawn-out ways to keep you logged in and playing etc.
Even Diablo has the randomized loot shit. There is no exciting loot except like two uniques? And you can't even farm those efficiently.
The sentiment only held kind of strong until season 1 because everyone expected something huge in the announcement. But all we got was a league mechanic that makes you kill elites twice, and an easy forgettable boss. Oh and D3 gems.
It's kind of weird to me that there was more anger about not being able to grind through the boring content as fast than there was for the awful league mechancis and no end-game.
D4 didn't have a successful launch, it had a nine-figure marketing campaign and PR push desperate to make sure everyone forgot about Immortal.
Naturally D4's player numbers cratered into the fucking ground when it's just Immortal with even more shitty MMO-tier grinding.
the level 100 grind to get all the paragon points to finish your character with only spamming nmds because you NEED glyphs is such fucking shit design, why cant you level glyphs at a slower rate doing helltides or other "endgame" content
I used my cache of microsoft bing points to buy the early access taxed version of the game & played through the whole game couch co op with my friend before they nerfed everything. We had fun but it was very basic compared to D3 & most effects were pointless. There was only a handful of viable gear pieces & weapons to use for our classes & when I looked up the patch blizzard deliberately destroyed those for some reason. Glad we played it early before they ruined it.
>when I looked up the patch blizzard deliberately destroyed those for some reason
You and your friend were the reason. They probably nerfed every gear piece that was popular among the players who were the quick to beat the game.
No, but I paid $140 for me and my gf so the cost investment was way higher for a subpar experience
Wait for it to be on sale, and even then, you mind as well play one of the other games that came out this year that is much better
please do, buy every blizzard product you can find, we need to keep this lolcow and it's humiliation ritual going for as long as we can, I used to want blizzard to die but if this is what we get, I want to keep it alive as long as possible
Once you are at tier 4 you should be on a fast track to level 90. A big problem with the game right now is all your equipment is useless and not worth investment until it starts dropping at max level. Your gear set is usually complete at level 75 barring the uber uniques and all that is left is grinding until you are arbitrarily at endgame. 70 to 90 is some of the worst pacing I have ever experienced in a game. My character wasn't getting more powerful besides the paragon points. No gear to keep things interesting, skill points were out the window days ago. There is no growth in the late stage of the game, just a stupid long grind until the xp bar says I can do more things
It goes on sale all the time so I'd wait but yes
If you want to play with the original graphics, pirate it and get glide wrapper, the OG graphics in resurrected don't have it so the game looks way worse than it should
>make a Diablo sequel >years after Path of Exile, Diablo 3 and Lost Ark
>make no end game, no end game bosses, no end game dungeons, no end game gear
Im honestly just baffled by the design of this game. Why not make like fucking handfull of bosses to grind for sets in a party by copying lost ark or some shit?
I mean everybody knows people play diablo for dozens or hundreds of hours, just give them something.
Also fuck me i got to lvl 70 and is still have no idea what overpower and all those other gay stats are.
this basically
i looked at traielrs and streams and after Lost Ark or PoE for that atter everything shown in D4 looked objectively mediocre and lame
i mean 5 classes?
absolutely garbage visuals
shitty animations
im kinda bafled by the common IQ levels, if they got baited by what was shown, because it was just not good looking even on surface level
true it looked exactly like Diablo 3 and I think Diablo 3 looks repulsive, D4 was just slightly darker, hell the game doesn't even look the same from the trailers they released lmao, this is one of the greatest bait and switches I've ever seen, so glad I didn't buy this shit
lost ark's design is why it's dead right now and what holds ot back, I much MUCH prefer the PoE/Diablo endgame. This game just fucked that design up and needs it's dev team fired.
>improve yo8ur game with patch >autistic retards get mad their OP build isnt OP anymore >game crashes
its pretty crazy man. thats what happens when you cater to retards for too long though.
[...]
You fags are no fun. You're suppose to call him Inarius and tell him to calm down. Fucking zoomers don't even know the characters and plot of Diablo
This game made boomer christians mad in my home town when they saw the world Diablo with her face on their mtn dew cups and food at Taco Bell this summer kek. They took their frustration to Facebook.
aka BG3 waiting room
>600 viewers on twitch
lol
lmao
>I watch games.
Wrll, certainly no one is fucking playing it
I am. My clan is. Lots of other people are. You don't own it, so you wouldn't know that.
>You don't own it, so you wouldn't know that.
Incorrect. Even have the beta achievements
Game is objectively dead right now
>Kyovashad and events full at all hours
>tons of people always LFG
>nobody playing
You don't own it. You've only purchased a license that currently allows you to play this game but that privilege can be revoked at any time.

>what is the most popular event in U.S. television
Fuck if I know.
has there ever been another game that went from "considered pretty good" (at least by normalfags) to "hated by almost everyone" this soon after release?
More or less every other blizzard game
Wow I can’t believe I agree with someone on Ganker
No Man's Sky went from "wow this is cool" on day 1 to being "WTF, they lied about everything" on day 2.
Anthem was also kinda similar, but it took like a week for people to catch on.
every modern blizzard game see overwatch 2
every single wow expansion past wotlk
starfield

It was liked because it was new and the decent campaign kept normies busy for a week. D4 has no end-game. That's why they wanted to nerf everything.

The idea is to slow down the progress so that the players have more chances to check the cash shop and maybe buy something.

Diablo 4

>turns out it's actually incredibly common nowadays
gaming is dead lol
rip in peace
KWAB
>one patch DESTROYS a game after a successful launch
The patch didn't destroy anything. It was the lack of changes in the patch that killed it
>The patch didn't destroy anything.
The patch made the game grindier you cocksucking, mouthbreathing retard
You can’t breathe through your mouth if you are sucking cock, anon.
You would know you fucking gay
if you suck the dick hard enough you can draw in air through their ass
Isn’t the entire point of arpgs to grind your life away
Isn't that the point of these games.
>succesful launch
its a nu-blizzard game. it was always destined to die the second the normie hype wears off
>implying doombiat grift farmers didn't squeeze all hope out of the game to prop their channels up
D4 didn't have a successful launch, it had a nine-figure marketing campaign and PR push desperate to make sure everyone forgot about Immortal.
Naturally D4's player numbers cratered into the fucking ground when it's just Immortal with even more shitty MMO-tier grinding.
They made a game with 100 levels and included a single piece of content above level 70. A boss you fight once and then never again on any character.
Meanwhile you can't even refight story bosses like Andarial and Duriel since they aren't in any kind of postgame dungeon.
>grindan game where you can't refight certain bosses
Why?
the level 100 grind to get all the paragon points to finish your character with only spamming nmds because you NEED glyphs is such fucking shit design, why cant you level glyphs at a slower rate doing helltides or other "endgame" content
I enjoyed it way more than BG3
Transphobic chuddie.
found the rice shill
You.
moron

Literally no content
Everyone did the season in a week and theres pretty much no point of playing until season 2
I fucking hate the seasonal meme
this, seasons are just a reason for devs to release barely any content, lock it behind fomo, and artificially extend the lifespan of the game
For a game that's supposedly "dead". It's the game I know that most IRL and online are currently coming back to and playing the most this year.
bro they're getting shredded even on plebbit and normiebook acebook.com/watch/?v=691272459532516
its crazy its been YEARS this pic has been out and its still true dudes still give these fucks there money
It need at least a few more years of "seasons" and expansions to become fun.
Right now it just feels absolutely barebones
No valla no buy, just like that
Lilith is a babe.
I am forgotten
No refunds
Another $70 will fix it
should i buy this game
have a nice day for even thinking about buying this shit
Nah, buy the d2+d3 combo at 20€ when you see it
No
It's worth maybe $40 I'd say and at that point you're not getting an amazing deal.
No, but I paid $140 for me and my gf so the cost investment was way higher for a subpar experience
Wait for it to be on sale, and even then, you mind as well play one of the other games that came out this year that is much better
please do, buy every blizzard product you can find, we need to keep this lolcow and it's humiliation ritual going for as long as we can, I used to want blizzard to die but if this is what we get, I want to keep it alive as long as possible
I can only enjoy Souls games.
I cannot believe they plan to do YEARLY expansions.
It's because of destiny 2, those shit eaters have put $500+ into the game over it's lifespan

>endgame so bad that it made me feel like echoes in Last Epoch are actually alright
Did any Blizzard devs play PoE during development?
I fucked her in VR
So is Diablo 2 resurrected worth it or no? Just play the original?
It goes on sale all the time so I'd wait but yes
If you want to play with the original graphics, pirate it and get glide wrapper, the OG graphics in resurrected don't have it so the game looks way worse than it should
if BG3 had this game's combat, then i would actually agree with its metacritic score.
I dont know why its so bard to crest arpg, but with great story, lore, characters, etc and actual roleplaying
D4 BAD
Diablo 5 will everything!
Dead game, dead company
Diablo 3 is better.
Wrong
I only stopped playing cause BG3 came out. I will return for S2.
Literally the most successful game this year, seethe
>mfw I didn't buy this trash
what was the last game you bought then
For a game that used to cost fucking 100 euros on release date, it somehow has even more predatory cosmetics store than a korean f2p mmo

WHERE IS THE FUCKING DIABLO, SHITZZARD???
Why is Lilith so goddamn sexy?
Cause she looks like a drag queen and you're a homosexual.
You fags are no fun. You're suppose to call him Inarius and tell him to calm down. Fucking zoomers don't even know the characters and plot of Diablo
yup, cause you like man-jawed trannies, you're a fucking gay, anon
