What compels people to play blizzards new mediocre gruel (I mean I suppose it could be an actually good game, and I'm being unfair but I doubt it)? Is it all nostalgia? Is it a desperation for any ARPG? Is it because you can't avoid it? Friends are playing it? Like what would Blizzard have to do to get people to stop eating their gruel? I suppose people are just happy it isn't a cellphone Diablo. I'm honestly curious and not just thinking "you're loving idiots stop buying poo poo from poo poo companies you morons" way (I assure you I am thinking that).

:ok:

Who is the least obnoxious person that produces video content for Diablo? Just don't want my ears destroyed and am looking for stuff to put on and listen to while I work. Looking for mechanics explanations and build guides, mostly. I prefer written but I don't have four eyeballs lol.

Probably Rhykker?

Is the performance of the game pretty consistent throughout or is there one area that really hammers things more?

Probably the same place as the KFC drops but I don’t know where those are either lol

Edit oh and it’s only 6 hours total for all 4. That’s not bad

Interesting, the battle.net launcher runs on my Ubuntu laptop following steamdeck instructions. Is there any way to test the game before dropping $100 on it? I'm pretty :ohdear: about buying a steamdeck for $650 then $100 on a game for it to maybe stop working randomly on me due to proton+patches or whatever.

I’d be surprised if it stopped working. D2 and OW2 have been fine.

D4 is legit great on the deck. Only issue I have is that you can’t suspend the game. Besides that it’s as smooth as you can get.

For all of you steamdeck D4 people: I can launch a bnet instance but the play game button isn't visible:



How do you get around this? Can I force bnet into an aspect ratio in the launch options or something?

Yeah you have to tap like the upper part of the screen or something. The window needs to be maximized.

I'm not even sure how I feel about cosmetics for this game yet. Like you can't really even see them like you can in like Fortnite.

I feel the same way about the CoD cosmetics.

There is no built in FPS counter in the game right? I can’t seem to find one.

Also I’m level 22 and I’m really not feeling the arc lash sorc. I dropped it down to WT1 and it feels like things take forever to kill.

So what's the verdict, worth playing now or waiting for some polish like Diablo 3? I've got a vacation coming up so I'll avoid buying it until at least after that because once I bought a dopamine addiction game right before a vacation and got the shakes from withdrawl.

Game is good.

Playing my first Diablo game with D4, how important is the spec? I feel overwhelmed when picking skills and don't want to gently caress myself later in the game.

The spec is important.

You can't gently caress your self since you can refund everything.

Pick a class look up a simple guide. Kill poo poo.

The side quests in this game are actually pretty good.

MarcusSA
Sep 23, 2007

LifeLynx posted:



My favorite side quests, best done early on before you out-level regular dungeons, are the ones where you have to step into a dungeon to collect something from the first half of the dungeon. They give a good opportunity to go "While I'm here, might as well finish this dungeon", netting you both the side quest and a dungeon complete.

Yeah these are the ones I like so far.

I got two classes to 30 before I stopped playing waiting for the season to start.

I didn’t even complete the story because I want to do it during the first season.

You'll have to start the story over entirely, if you leave it unfinished. You may not care, but just in case, heads up! Your character who has the story in progress won't be able to join the Season. Only your fresh level 1 newbie

No skipping the story either, so the first thing you'll be doing in the season is restarting the story.

Yeah I’m cool with that tbh.

I’ll be getting season progress at the same time so it’s killing two birds for me.

I think I missed it but what is the length of each season? 8 weeks?
