I am looking forward to the FF Magic the Gathering crossover stuff even though I generally dislike Universes Beyond because I want to make a Terra commander deck but I am afraid she is going to be yet another red blue copy instants and sorceries thing and I'll be sad

im going to wait and see when its not just ptr, but theres a large chance the "problems" are the ones d3 ppl were having. theyre removing like half the stats, adding mat farming to upgrade items, doing smart loot and cutting down number of drops, and adding grifts lol

Personally I started playing Last Epoch and enjoyed it alot as a middle ground between PoE and Diablo, hoping the next season or w/e doesn't ruin the game.

yeh LEs cool. i feel like the monolith stuff isnt there yet so my characters usually end after a few hours doing them, but otoh ive made like 5 characters since 1.0 all paladin or witch and had fun with each one lol ive been playing grim dawn as well the last year or so and i slept on it for way too long, its becoming one of my favorites now. ppl say poe is d2 extrapolated, and it is to an extent but it isnt like d2 to actually play, but gd i think does fit that description way more

its a golden age of arpgs for some reason, but i will be sad if they nuke d4 before it got going bcos the way the game and abilities and spells feel is unmatched unfortunately. poe and le both have way less impact or something in how stuff works idk what it is

Grim Dawn had gamepad support while Diablo 3 on PC didn't so that was a point in its favor

i am not a huge fan of all the open world/tower clearing stuff in ff7r but mostly because i have the idiot kind of gamer brain where i have to do all the content even if it's optional. and like i just want to progress with the story, which is truly incredible.

i had to turn down the difficulty on galian beast though, just too hard

poo poo I bought Nier Automata and played the opening for like 40 minutes and ended up inside one of the two buzzsaws and died before I got a chance to save. Maybe I shouldn't be playing this when I've had a drink lol

Since you don't get any save points for that entire lengthy opening segment, it's morally acceptable to set the game to easy if you're taking too much damage

the other point in its favor is its a genuinely fantastic arpg with both approachable intuitive build creation as well as the depth for complex end game optimising facilitated by both fantastic and intelligent loot design as well as unique and meaningful character choices, while diablo 3 is a game made for people who would buy a duplo set and get stuck if it didnt come with written instructions

Diablo 4 is a game made for people who buy the assembled set on eBay. I’m going to come off the top rope on the next person who praises that smelly turd whilst denigrating D3 which is at least a wonderful potty time casino mobile game.

d4 as it is now before they redo the loot is more fun than d3 has been at any point in its life span and it isnt even a competition at all. d3 is unplayable lol

Yeah I'll probably just play on easy then switch back to normal when I get back to the buzzsaws cos you know. I already did it.

Does the game use the analogue of the triggers later? If not I might try using my pro controller instead

i acutually rolled a d3 char like 2 weeks ago bcos i was worried i had been being too harsh on it and had started remembering it worse than it was cos its been years, and actually its much worse than i remember. certified flush. the worst arpg ever created
