the game is still online, you can still see people in Kyovashad, fight world bosses and do helltides with other people, but you can't access the pvp zone, create a clan, invite friends, chat, etc. probably the reason why this game isn't coming out on the Switch or Nintendo's next console, they don't want to do the same mistake as they did with Diablo 3 and being able to play offline
Given the Steam Deck performance, I don't think the game would even run at 30 on switch.
You'd need some sort of butchered baby version to even run it.
You literally are not missing out on anything unless you planned on playing with a friend already >cant trade
no one does anyways, gear is locked by level its moronic >no pvp
good >no forming parties
good >chatting
good >clan
good, I see this as a win OP
The game is always online on all platforms and filled with obnoxious online crap
OP pic is not about lacking internet connectivity, it's about a PS user not having PS Plus being able to play a version of the game without the obnoxious online crap, which is objectively superior to the PC version which forces you to deal with the online crap
>I didn't really want multiplayer anyway >I didn't really want trading anyway >I didn't really want chat anyway >as a matter of fact, I like this version better
This shit is defended by the same castrated homosexuals that worshipped cyberpunk it's hilarious
>playing ARPGs as a Solo Self Found player
And that's a good thing, trading and player interactions is the worst thing in any ARPG, that's exactly why everyone b***hed about D3 being always online, now with Shit of Exile and D4 nobody cares if the game is offline and that explains why ARPGs are such a niche genre.

I hate it and it makes no sense. Xbox does not require a subscription for online play. How is it that you need to pay to play online when you're already connected to the internet.
>How is it that you need to pay to play online when you're already connected to the internet.
Because you're a consolecuck. Don't worry though, Xbox also pays a sub but it's included in gamepass. So you're not alone in being a cuck.
Do not buy multiplayer games on playstation unless you're subscribed to PS plus. PS plus being required for online play is the biggest scam, don't know how they got away with it.
>It's only required for Activision games
It's required for Dark Souls and Elden Ring, and any game that have multiplayer other than F2p games and the games you mentioned. I don't know how Kojima did it but Death Stranding has a multiplayer feature through building structures and giving likes and somehow let it slip past PS plus.
Because microshit got away with for years before Sony and Nintendo figured it was ok to also charge players a second time to be able to play multiplayer
For the life of me I have no idea why anybody would prefer this over PC
So what you're saying is that Sonybros are subhuman morons that allow the company they worship to get away with anything as long as it allows them to play their movies with other people?
Isn't that really pathetic and sad?
>You need to be connected to the internet to launch the game that you bought >But to get the permission to do anything with anyone, you need to pay a fee to your console (that you bought)
Do consolecucks really
>why do PC players not have to pay but console players do
Because microsoft realized how moronic console gays are and added a price tag to a online service that they already offer on pc for free. Sony and Nintendo would be dumb as a business not to charge after xbox set that standard
>farming through the endgame dungeon for that gear to finish your build >kill boss >see that legendary gear that you spent hours farming >before you pick it up >PS Plus has expired please insert credit card to continue playing online
This could only happen if it dropped in one of the PvP areas and even then it isn't guaranteed that it works like that. It might only do the check when launching the game.
Every game should be $100, always online (with key revocation if you have any connection issues), and require proof of ownership of a non-American luxury vehicle.
>complain that "single player game" forces you to play offline >...it actually doesn't - only for the online features that you didn't even want in the first place
Shut the frick up then ? You got what you wanted.
Why did the subscription shit become mandatory on playstation? Last console I had was ps3 and i remember you didn't have to pay anything to play multiplayer. Seems kinda shitty you have to pay for another subscription on top of your internet just to play online games.
Makes sense I guess, still pretty annoying that every fricking thing is a subscription service nowadays. Good thing theres no subscription shit (yet) on PC unless you play MMOs.
It's funny that all that prerelease talk made it sound like a diablo MMO but in the end, it's barely a hub for random boss events nobody gives a shit about
So this entire thread's premise is morons pretending this isn't an issue with pretty much all PS4 games except now we act like it's a Diablo 4 thing because that's the hot new game to talk about right now?
So playstation got an offline mode while PC didnt?
It's still online, you just can't do anything that warrants it being online.
>you just can't do anything that warrants it being online.
That's pretty much the game either way.
no its still online but OP has no PS plus

That's what you get for playing multiplayer games on console. Thank Sony and MS for it.
Holy shit what the frick PS players can play offline? OP trust me when I say this, you are one lucky homosexual
It doesn't have offline mode
so in other words press circle to have fun.
You literally are not missing out on anything unless you planned on playing with a friend already

good, I see this as a win OP
Events are the main source of obols. You cant play them -> you cant gamble for items, and they are multiplayer only
Are you sure? I kind of doubt this would lock you out of the events but I wouldn't put it past blizzshart
Should of been an option in the first place
OH MY SCIENCE THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS
A GAME'S ONLINE FUNCTIONALITY DEPENDS ON YOU HAVING INTERNET?
THIS IS LITERAL WHITE GENOCIDE
>he can't read
>projecting
Let me spell it out for you, moron
The game is always online on all platforms and filled with obnoxious online crap
OP pic is not about lacking internet connectivity, it's about a PS user not having PS Plus being able to play a version of the game without the obnoxious online crap, which is objectively superior to the PC version which forces you to deal with the online crap
dumbfrick ESL
>all those fricking bootlickers already
Jesus
fricking
christ.
trying too hard, shouldn't you be dilating?
>playing ARPGs as a Solo Self Found player
And that's a good thing, trading and player interactions is the worst thing in any ARPG, that's exactly why everyone b***hed about D3 being always online, now with Shit of Exile and D4 nobody cares if the game is offline and that explains why ARPGs are such a niche genre.
the microsoft buy out can't come soon enough
way too late now
if it got through the moment it was announced maybe the game would have been delayed and saved but probably not
Seriously. This is one of the greediest things I've seen them do yet, which is saying a lot.
>without online you can't play multiplayer
>op's face
>playstation plus is now "normal online" for sonygroids
>I didn't really want multiplayer anyway
>I didn't really want trading anyway
>I didn't really want chat anyway
>as a matter of fact, I like this version better
This shit is defended by the same castrated homosexuals that worshipped cyberpunk it's hilarious
>pay $70 or more
>have to pay extra Sony tax to play the overpriced slop that you paid for
Consolecucks lmao
I hate it and it makes no sense. Xbox does not require a subscription for online play. How is it that you need to pay to play online when you're already connected to the internet.
>Xbox does not require a subscription for online play.
Yes it does lol
>How is it that you need to pay to play online when you're already connected to the internet.

Wow seriously that's so stupid. They don't even maintain the servers how did they get away with it?
I play all multi[player games on my gaming PC.
Consolecucks let their daddy corporations ram them up the ass, with a smile.
Do not buy multiplayer games on playstation unless you're subscribed to PS plus. PS plus being required for online play is the biggest scam, don't know how they got away with it.
It's only required for Activision games. You can play other games like Fortnite and Destiny without it.
>It's only required for Activision games
It's required for Dark Souls and Elden Ring, and any game that have multiplayer other than F2p games and the games you mentioned. I don't know how Kojima did it but Death Stranding has a multiplayer feature through building structures and giving likes and somehow let it slip past PS plus.
Because it's asynchronous you moron, it's not actually online, your game just pulls shit from a backend.
>it's not actually online
>rubberbanding still happens
Because microshit got away with for years before Sony and Nintendo figured it was ok to also charge players a second time to be able to play multiplayer
For the life of me I have no idea why anybody would prefer this over PC
Can snoys explain to me how they tolerate having to pay for their ISP and then pay again to be able to use that internet connection on their console?
xbox live proved that consolegays would gladly pay for the privilege and praise them for it
snoy has been copying microsoft since day 1
I fricking hate them for it so much. frick Halo. 2 weapon homosexualry, xboxlive homosexualry. thanks for ushering in stupid shit
So what you're saying is that Sonybros are subhuman morons that allow the company they worship to get away with anything as long as it allows them to play their movies with other people?

>You need to be connected to the internet to launch the game that you bought

It's ironic because why do PC players not have to pay but console players do?
>why do PC players not have to pay but console players do
Because microsoft realized how moronic console gays are and added a price tag to a online service that they already offer on pc for free. Sony and Nintendo would be dumb as a business not to charge after xbox set that standard
Because console players are willing to get taken advantage of.

This could only happen if it dropped in one of the PvP areas and even then it isn't guaranteed that it works like that. It might only do the check when launching the game.
>legendary is forced into your stash
Someone post that Bloodborne webm
you get the legendary on your stash if you disconnect with drops on the ground
>paying for multiplayer
kek but atleast its more stable on consoles. pc is a fricking mess lmao
This is what you get for buying a shitty game made by a shitty greedy company, that everyone knows is shit. You did it to yourself, idiot.
Don't forget about premium stash in a non F2P game.
Call me when they add offline mode on PC
Every game should be $100, always online (with key revocation if you have any connection issues), and require proof of ownership of a non-American luxury vehicle.
>do nothing

Shut the frick up then ? You got what you wanted.

Because you'd be dumb not to charge people when your competitors do and still sell better than you.
Makes sense I guess, still pretty annoying that every fricking thing is a subscription service nowadays. Good thing theres no subscription shit (yet) on PC unless you play MMOs.
You will own nothing and like it!
It's funny that all that prerelease talk made it sound like a diablo MMO but in the end, it's barely a hub for random boss events nobody gives a shit about
but it is a diablo mmo
the problem is that mmo's are fricking shit
>nobody gives a shit about
>hundreds of people doing every boss at moronic hours
inb4 moron doesn't understand instancing
not surprising that he takes a picture of his screen given he's a console player.
So this entire thread's premise is morons pretending this isn't an issue with pretty much all PS4 games except now we act like it's a Diablo 4 thing because that's the hot new game to talk about right now?
