Except you blindly buy it / per-order, even if you can't tell leading up if the games any good you could have waited until now to contemplate picking it up. Anyway top props Blizz marketing and cinematic team, also which ever exec came up with pay extra to unlock a few days early.

even that diablo fanboy gave up on it weeks back.

They do what they want because people buy regardless. For every person that complains there are thousands of others happily handing over their money.

The game is barebones yet still setting sales records, also have no doubt they're making a killing with those obscenely overpriced cosmetics.

While Kotick looks forward to that next big bonus gamers are still wondering why this keeps happening... Laughing

Well it was fun and exactly as expected until endgame.

It's just now clear endgame will never be good and Blizzard will actually go out of their way to make it worse.

I would never regret the purchase and the time spent with friends. I am just disappointed, like everyone else, that this is how the future of the game looks like and that this is what Blizzard has become.

Focused on player retention no matter the cost.

You know... I think Blizzard finished and polished ONLY the free open BETA chunk of the game.

Because from there, IT ALL FUCKING WENT DOWNHILL(!): story, atmosphere, characters and motivation / reasons to play.

Laughing Facepalm

EDIT

Hmm, now that I think about it... Starfield kinda does it VERY similarly: absolutely stellar presentation so far!

Hmmmmm...

Ok, but with Starfield you know exactly what you will get. Virtually the same game as FO4/Skyrim whatever wrapped in new IP. There's nothing wrong with that, but your delusional if you think its going to be some massive overhaul improvement to any of their last games. Fortunately for Bethesda, the modding community allow it to be a sandbox experience and deeper complexity to stock gameplay can simply be modded in making it an interesting release.

Blizz/Acti games today are more business oriented designed than the days of SC, Diablo1-2 etc where they let the developers go wild making the best game they could.

D3 was a huge disappointment and turning point imo, inferno was untested / broken, real money auction house was the new derp revenue stream (and it was only removed because of legal issues, not because of it's effect on the gameplay), a massive step-down in complexity to Diablo 2. They actually had a cool gem skill system with depth like POE (they may have even had the idea first as it was revealed a good year+ before beta and POE's release) but closer to release it was all of sudden removed (suspect the execs saw it as too complicated for derp).

I think D3's development was really the Blizz game that went from gamer-centric designs to derp milking design by exec team (as SC2 was also a reasonably well made game, charging 3x for the game was smart move though blizz exec team). Overwatch was damage control for a massive money sink mmo that never saw the light of day. Can't comment on where WoW sit's as i never played it, as well as really any blizz game after D3.

Sadly (/happily), we're become so cynical and bored with bullshit, that I don't think anyone really expects anything more than that.

Well... perhaps with the exception of headshot. He's a positive, happy little guy.

And... I think I am down with Fallout 4 in space.

Grim Dawn dev wrote that in some strange circumstances they noticed a jump in player count Very Happy

On the other hand PoE didn't really change the player count. It's a little bit lower than usually according to steam charts.

POE always peaks around new leagues and drops players the longer they go on, the current league has been out for a while now. With Exilecon around the corner we will se a couple announcements and likely a date for the POE2 beta, maybe a new league.

Yep interested to see if the 80% Tencent ownership has major influence on POE2, the gameplay of what little we've seen looks considerably different.

Anyway one of the last gamer-centric designed AAA games enjoy it while you can.

Some of the Features Tencent has implemented on the chinese POE servers i wouldnt mind. Like the Currency Auction House so you can flip currency fast instead of wiritng to 50 people til someone maybe reacts with "sold out".

D4 reflection which is basically the ISODemo version getting major update and fixes:

Quote:
Hello, Wanderers!

Time has come: in a few days we will release a major update containing numerous game fixes and more story quest progression. And right now we are offering you to preload a new version of the game client (1.1.0).

Download: [REMOVED]

Unfortunately, in this case seamless client update via Reflection Network launcher is impossible, due to large amount of differences between clients. Our launcher will be switched to the new version at the time of release.

Update will be installed after maintenance starting on July 29 at 02:00 MSK and will last approximately 2 hours. Full patch notes will be published during that time, as usual.

We plan this client version to serve as our development base for a long time, so updates coming after that will all be server-side updates, no additional preloads will be required for them.

Important note: do not forget to spend your «Grim Favors», during update this currency will be reset for all players.

We await you in Sanctuary and hope you will like our hard work!

The Battle Pass is pretty easy to finish so that Accelerated Battlepass is a big rip off with its +20 level boost as I wanted to see how easy it would be to run the Battlepass without it and ended up finishing it at level 72. The Battlepass levels really start flying by once you start doing NM dungeons.

I do hope for Season 2 they just give you all the renown levels you completed because having to redo all those side quests and dungeons every season is already getting old after just this first season.

easy maybe, but for a casual who never goes past lvl 50 iits a lot of grind n monsterkilling

THere is a reason u can buy individual stages, but this game will be dead by se3, so dull loot

any not a single mention of runes and set items they claimed they delayed .... how can they not even mention them at all, cause they simply dont exist , the lying bastards

Finished the game on the basic ETERNAL difficulty as a barbarian and played it when the game became a mess with one of the patches

....Do bosses always were SPONGES?!... I know i could stun em and launch the ancestors ultimate but sometimes the ancestors , atleast 1 (sometimes 2) of em, even without any minions on/off-screen they'd just stand there fapping (doint nothing) or spin around... Hitting nothing, aka the boss barely lost HP

And sometimes it was hellish to run around to evade only to heal yourself with the screams' upgrades when no potions were avaliable

The worst thing is that the more you level up everything levels up, including the fortresses, and some orange events are impossible to do, no matter how great you are

I'd say that because of the actual patch DIABLO 4 is the worst DIABLO game, and won't play the other classes until they fix their shit, wich i guess they won't (Or they will but very slightly)

Agree. I also think it is the worst Diablo game thus far.
