SettingSun posted:Has anyone ever written/video essayed a retrospective on launch D3? poo poo was wild. D3 has changed so much since then and that game basically doesn't exist anymore. Here's the essay: I spent six hours trying to log in to a game that seemed hell bent on not allowing me to play. That's the review.

Cyrano4747 posted:I mean if that's what you want there are tons, probably literally hundreds if not thousands, of indie roguelikes that do basically that. Look at this scrub not using teleport. Jokes aside I can totally see burning out on D1 because the last couple areas are a pain in the rear end but I haven't seen an indie roguelike hit the same atmospheric beats.

I said I was going to wait for it to go on sale but I went and picked up the enhanced edition of Diablo 3 today. Now I have to agonize over the class choice until I have time to play

Monk is your best class. Apart from that, decide if you like being Ranged or Melee, and go from there - enjoy yourself, D3 has been out long enough that it really doesn't matter, have fun!

I said come in! posted:Diablo IV will hopefully have a much better main story since the Blizzard old guard responsible for all of the terrible writing, is gone now and outed as the sex pest weirdos that they were. Although it wouldn't surprise me if there is no improvement either. we already got the second best thing (the opening cinematic, which was amazing). all that's left now is the ending cinematic (which will also be pretty amazing as they don't really screw those up). with the rate blizz is going downhill these days, i'm doubtful that they'll actually do additional cinematics in between. :edit: this just popped up on youtube, as if they knew i was posting about diablo... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsycAgAZk_w Last King fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Jun 14, 2022 |

Considering that he's personally been the main driving force behind making D:I happen, it's not like something he just got stuck with and he's been the lead on it for half a decade. His main thought seems to be that it's going to make him rich as hell because diablo fans are idiots and will throw money at anything with deckard cain in it.

okay now that's weird - I came back to my PS4 just now and despite having a level 70 (63) Monk that I played as a Seasonal character, I do NOT have adventure mode unlocked for non-seasonal characters (including the Monk, since he's been converted). given the low Paragon level I guess I didn't play him all that much into the endgame, but now I'm wondering exactly what it is that does unlock Adventure Mode, because apparently just getting to 70 doesn't cut it

Playing through the story unlocks adventure mode. I believe you only have to do it once though.

Correct. The PC/ PS/ Xbox version made you play through the story to unlock adventure mode. The switch didn't, I assume because it came out so much later than the other versions.

Yes, there are many ads/trailers that look unappealing at best. The wide reaction to Sonic Frontiers was very negative.

It's reasonable to temper expectations but from what I have seen so far regarding D4 has me hoping. D3 on launch was a shitshow and I never thought they would suck it up and can the auction house and the end game philosophy (there was no paragon system at lauch for those who weren't there). I'm sure blizz will try some poo poo regarding monetisation and its up to us to keep them in line.

Like not straight up awful to the point that I wished I hadn't bought it, but I beat the campaign and didn't pick it back up for something like three years.

I strongly suspect that blizz has it in them to make a good arpg. I mean, poo poo, even the reviews of Immortal say that it's a pretty solid arpg minus the criminally exploitive paid systems. The real concern is how bullshit the paid crap in D4 is going to be. They say "just cosmetics" but A) you're a fool if you trust them at this point and B) that can mean anything from a battlepass to paid hats to lol transmogs cost money now They seem to be drinking from the F2P firehose these days. I saw that Overwatch 2 is going to be F2P also and we all know how scummy (retail priced) Overwatch 1 is with cosmetic micro.
