Blizzard has been dead for at least a decade. Anyone who is still interacting with the ghoul that is inhabiting Blizzard's corpse is a fool.
Ghouls inhabit corpses now? 😱
new D4 feature
Activision
I'm gonna need them to go simpler. Why not just gooder or lesser worst?
Why more word when few word good?
They dug a hole, and they keep on digging.
Right? It's like they forgot how to balance and think this is what people what.
I'll never forget the tone deaf "Do you guys not have phones?" because that always reminds me of how out of touch they are with their customer base.
Of course we have phones. Of course a lot of us would love a Diablo game for mobile. Of course at the time everyone was waiting and expecting news of a new main game in the series. Despite probably the higher game sales and larger fanbase of Diablo 3, I still feel like (or at least hope) that the general consensus is that Diablo 1 and 2 are seen as better than 3 (and now 4).
If they had released a remastered 1 and/or 2 for mobile, I would have easily tossed them a few bucks for it or even each. Instead I played Immortal for a couple weeks until I got bored and gave them no money, but that doesn't fucking matter because 1 dumb mother fucker is all it takes for the company to look at microtransactions as the profitable Holy Grail.
They no longer have to make games for their majority fanbase, only a select few. And if you charge for the game AND microtransactions? Well that's even better.
Thank you, Last Epoch!
I've been craving a new game like this but Last Epoch just isn't doing it for me. I get super bored when playing it and have to stop after an hour or two and then never really feel like playing it again. I've forced myself to play it for about 20 hours but I gave up after that. It just feels empty and soulless somehow, it makes me completely aware I'm just sitting and clicking buttons and watching numbers go up/down.
I thought the game was really fun as far ARPGs go, but I play primarily on controller if I can, and while I was able to run through the bulk of it with 2 characters, holy crap it was infuriating. Every menu has a completely different input scheme, using the wrong one probably forced you out of the menus because you dared to move your character, and it really makes me wonder about the logic involved with that design process.
Yeah I love path of exile but last epoch didn't quite do it for me yet.
I think they have a good base though
It really seems like the same game with changes to its worst systems. I haven't been keeping up completely but my friends were talking about this last night. They still only have 3 enemy types?
Still a hard no for me dawg
hmmm, doubt. But I'll wait and see...
Blizzard can DIAF after the BnetD bullshit.
What do you do with all the time you save?
Probably just masturbates.
Thats what i'd do.
I've been out of the loop. What did they do this time?
You're not really out of the loop, this was more than 20 years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bnetd
What is BnetD? I'm assuming it's something to do with battle net but I don't know how that can get worse
I’ve been hearing “but wait, Blizzard fixed it” for over half my life at this point. Never once was it true.
Eh, kinda true with Diablo 3 though.
D3 was at mess at launch and the first year or so.
It's in a good place at the moment.
I will, actually, give you that one. I was more thinking WoW and Overwatch but you’re right, D3 was a mess that they made fun eventually.
Yeah, it's called Path of Exile.
