Suburban Dad posted:But yeah it's still way worse nowadays because you can fall back on patching games rather than having to pay a fuckload of money to make new physical copies. at launch if u played doom mp with a soundcard installed the game crashed. diablo 1 was repeatedly patched. this mythical time never existed, the difference is games get fixed now instead of it being a coinflip if they even bother.

It wasn't quite that bad, they just fired a ton of missiles which used up the sprite limit rather quickly (which caused projectiles to never spawn). Effectively this meant you only ever used them in some niche early game times where you could have 1 or 2 around for air defense. Not sure if they ever became more useful even after the sprite limit got raised.

There's no time to read a discussion in full for context when you could be delivering a red hot burn to noted bad game Diablo 4.

All of your favorite games from the past, OoT, Mario 64, Fallout 1 and 2, Daggerfall, Deus Ex, Thief 1 and 2, System Shock 2, Ultima VII, Ultima Underworld, Half-Life, etc. were some mixture of broken and obviously unfinished. It's hard to point out a non-buggy, fully complete 90s release than it is the other way around. Also lol, do none of you remember registration cards to get patches? First you got notice for a patch a month after launch, then you waited another month for the shipping, then you got a patch for a game likely long after you were done with it. All those patched versions of older games you play off of GOG nowadays are easy to get, most people didn't even bother back then. The most common way of getting a patched game back then was buying a budget bin re-release in one of those two for one jewelcase things.

It occurred to me, I wonder if WT5 was left out of launch because they didn’t want to have a difficulty perceived as “too hard” that average players couldn’t get through. Maybe learning the wrong lesson from Inferno, maybe it’s just letting the player base get a meta established before having higher difficulty content. Or maybe they think it’s easier to deal with a player base feeling overpowered and asking for harder content than it is to deal with players feeling underpowered. 1.0 Inferno loving sucked real bad imo.

I think it's more likely they want WT5 to have more going on than just a difficulty bump and they had their hands full getting the rest of the game ready to ship. If they were designing the game not to be too hard for the average person it'd end after three hours.

Okay, the average endgame player, since I suppose the “average” player never finishes the campaign. I don’t mind that they’re listening to player feedback and taking measured steps, rather than the D3 experience of being told to suck a fat one.

Had a friend carry me through the wt3 capstone since I was going real slow on elites and would have surely died horribly to Elias at level 57 Now I can't use any of the ancestral stuff that's dropped in the next dungeon we did , until I hit 60. Argh

WT5 was in the endgame beta but they cut it out for launch and maybe chose to launch it alongside the first seasonal mechanic instead

Yeah, there are 3 different versions of the Ocarina of time cart (1.0, 1.1, and 1.2) and Mario 64 had changes and fixed glitches between the japanese and america releases. Most of those other games were patched to hell, and it was a nightmare trying to find the right sequence to install patches or even where to download them all in the first place. Spend all night downloading a 100MB Deus Ex patch from fileplanet but its a delta update for 1.0.2.34334 to 1.0.3 but it turns out you're running 1.0.2.14234, better start digging around the early internet for this other patch "old games were feature complete and didn't need patching" is wild as hell

I wonder why they have to take the game down two different days, almost 24 hours apart, for 5 hours at a time. Is day one just groundwork and then day two is applying the patch? I'll be too busy to play anyway, sucks for the people who this is their first weekday off of the summer though.

so one thing I really like about diablo 4 is that there are normal humans as enemy types, it's interesting and adds a lot more options for the story to go/combat variation. HOWEVER HOWEVER it is absurd to an absolutely hilarious degree when like there's a little scripted event where 6 bandits and a guard in disguise jump you MY DUDES, you just saw me blender a pack of like 18 balrogs of morgoth approximately 25 yards outside the gate that you stand beside
