No, because I don't have a phone.

Jokes aside, Diablo was never my shtick. I was playing Warcraft/WoW instead.

Lol, I just like that it is supposedly dark and gritty like D1 & D2.

Seeing the various issues with Cyberpunk that aren't just crashes and t-poses but fundamental issues with the core design of the game (like the AI following set paths) makes me wonder if patches will actually be able to address that since it seems something that would require fundamentally changing elements of the game.

I can't say I am.

Diablo 3 was an okay game, but I really don't like activision blizzard. These are the same guys that did the warcraft 3 remake. Miss me with that. Miss me with that hard.

Understandable I'm just heavily invested in where the story is going to go. Supposedly Lilith is reborn.

Kind of? It looks like they took the feedback we gave them from D3 and made a better looking game. So it’s possible it can be good.

I loved Diablo 1 and 2

Fun to play with groups, can still be fun solo but when you have a few regular dungeon raiding buddies man that's a good time.

I've mentioned in the Discord several times that I'd like to play Diablo 4 with some of you folks if it ever releases. Just gotta kiss up enough to get back in the Discord. Have I mentioned how handsome (or beautiful) and large (or small) of genitals all the staff are?

Bruh I'll Diablo with you.

Hell yes.

I was a Paladin in D2 and a Warrior or whatever in D1.

I mostly like to just mash things with other things until they become different things or small pieces of the things they originally were.

I plan on either playing Sorcerer or (if they bring it back) Necromancer (hopefully)

I'm honestly so done with Blizzard as a company. That I refuse to buy their products. Nor have I gone back to play any of them, ever since their more blatant acts of censorship. But with that said, I did play and mostly enjoy the previous three games in the series. (Only after it was updated, in the third's case.)

So, while I most certainly won't be purchasing it myself. (Especially in the current era of "this won't be good at all when released.") My friends will probably force me to play with them. So, maybe I'll play it anyway. (Since Torchlight 3 decided to suck.) We'll see.

I newer quite got the attraction of Diablo and that sort of game in general. I mean, it plays like an RTS only without the strategy part and like a fighting game only without the challenge. The only game of the type that I've really gotten into ever was Kenshi and even there the combat is the least fun part.

A fighting game challenges very different skills from a top-down action game. Fighting games, especially anime fighters, are some of the most raw skill intensive games when it comes down to executing button presses, on top of having to learn fundamentals like spacing. A game like Dota 2 has infinitely more in common with a fighting game than Diablo will ever have, because there is a similar sense of tactical awareness mixed in with mechanical skill required to play a game like this.

RTS is an equally fucky point of comparison when RTS games are notorious for turning into micromanaging nightmares on the highest level. Sure, it doesn't have to be starcraft II levels of bonkers micro, but watch TheViper play in AoEII and you'll see how he's just way better at pressing buttons compared to most any other player on top of knowing the game extremely well.

Diablo is best compared to the genre it's actually inside of, that being roleplaying games. Knowing how to build a character to make BIG NUMBER on top of not picking fights you can't win. Anything with even vague RPG elements will come down to, at least partially, number crunching on top of actual player skill. I've only dabbled in a bit of torchlight II myself, but there is something incredibly satisfying about mowing down a horde of enemies as you're slowly running out of resources and kiting them halfway across the map in the hope of you not biting the dust. This only gets more fun the harder the difficulty you put the game up to.

Getting more powerful through raw stats, or compensating your lack of stats by gitting gud, is part of the appeal. If you want games that are focused entirely on your mechanical prowess, well, you're obviously in the wrong genre. You can't just compare a hack-and-slash to a fighting game, that's madness.

So, this was a thought that I scrapped putting here about Cyberpunk 2077. Regarding Cyberpunk's tweet about assuring refunds, and Sony's robot customer service rejecting those request en masse. Which proceeded to lead Sony to outright remove the thing from the store a day or so later. (A store that probably still has a mountain of unplayable shovelware still on it. Like 'Life Of Black Tiger'.) Though I didn't know if that said more about the game, or Sony.

But now, after seeing videos of how it performs on both console versions, and how Microsoft removed it from their store too. On top of everything else that was fairly predictable considering its long development.

For what its worth, my roommate has been playing it nonstop and has been pretty adamant that it's his favorite game eva. So perhaps it will be worth looking at, after the upcoming patches...

Also, here's your laugh for the day. Unless you do live in Australia.

Life of Black Tiger didn't blatantly lie to its customers either so notch in its favor.

Oof

Yeah, Australia fought pretty hard for an R18+ rating for video games (just like we have on movies) and yet the government still refuses to classify games or just outright bans them en masse. -_-

Yes, that's what I said. I don't generally enjoy games from that genre or any genre that don't require skill and instead focus on stats for progression. That's why I also couldn't ever get into D&D and am a great fan of dark souls. I am not sure why you felt the need to elaborate on what I said with a huge post. Or to call me mad. It's not like I said it was wrong to like these things. Just stated that I don't.

Again, I feel the same way about D&D and most other stat systems. Millions of people enjoy those but to me they just suck the life and fun right out of roleplaying by reducing it from a creative writing thing to a mechanical dice game. Nothing wrong with those that do enjoy it. But I don't.
