Lol I’ve always wanted to play as an out of shape hero with heart disease in the future…

Interloper659d ago

I'm sorry, but have you seen some of the "world's strongest man" competitions? They aren't rock chiseled mountains of muscle. They hefty boys with a lot of muscle and build thicc.

gamer7804659d ago

Yes I have, still risk of heart disease and is an unhealthy weight though. But they can pull tractors and lift tree trunks.

Mightymaus659d ago

Isn't the emaciated witch doctor out of shape also?

gamer7804659d ago

I’m only referring to the slide show when I first thought everyone was stretched horizontally but then clicking the slideshow they all look overweight or wide. Just doesn’t look good. If you are a witch doctor, it goes without saying they should not look healthy bu the nature of their job.

killbillvolume12660d ago

I know it may sound crazy but im pretty excited for this game. I just find it funny.. Does everyone remember when blizzard hit out at the fans saying diablo 3 was too bright?? How the turntables have turned lol

CaptainHenry916660d ago (Edited 660d ago )

Most of the OGs and creative director are gone that made Diablo. It'll be interested to see how this game turns out tbh. Hopefully it turns out great

killbillvolume12659d ago

Same i hope this game turns out great as well. The more arpgs the better.

Michiel1989659d ago

Im also cautiously optimistic from this game. The previews/blogs ive seen look really good. I like the direction they are taking the game, now I just gotta see if they execute it well. I wish they would have brought the Assassin back, but thats the rogue now i guess.

It looks to play as smooth as D3 did, but in a way more gritty style (although i kinda loved the painting-like look of D3 as well).

Im just skeptical about the monetization. They say its only cosmetic + expansions, but what if those cosmetics are tradable with other players? The cosmetics will basically become WoW tokens then or they could have magic find on them or whatever.

CaptainHenry916659d ago

I'm sure Pay to win and microtransactions will probably be in this game some way

XxINFERNUSxX659d ago

Pretty sad and disgusting that people continue to support Blizzard, and do not give a shit for what they did to their employees. I will never support them again, to me they are dead.

Chriswheeler22659d ago

But not buying the game is probably doing more harm to them I think

Eonjay659d ago

To the employees? I mean they have to pay their devs.

frostypants659d ago (Edited 659d ago )

A company IS its employees. You haven't thought this through...

MegaLogic659d ago

Sad that you didn't share this opinion when Sony did worse with GT7 , con job that it is.

antikbaka659d ago

i'm not buying this game cause they treat customers like sh*t

those employees are useless anyway

Monetization scheme first. None of this matters if the game has a shit grind and every inch of it is monetized.

Mandingo2020659d ago (Edited 659d ago )

Micro transactions everywhere... Boots up Diablo one and Diablo four is a easily forgotten new game.

Is Diablo IV worth it for the Single-Player experience today? I understand it has got many patches and improvements.

Daeloki7d ago

I honestly don't know what they could have changed/patched to make the game enjoyable since last summer. I played the campaign a bit past act 1 with a friend and it just becomes incredibly boring and repetitive. I uninstalled shortly after and haven't looked back. However, with me it may just be a case of that it's not my kind of game. I just didn't enjoy the endless cycle of going into a dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle, teleport back to dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle... rinse and repeat. That cycle was about 80% of the game back then, completely drowning out the story for me. If there is a demo, or you have a chance to test a friends copy then I'd recommend that before spending any money on it.

Kosic7d ago

I loved D3 and would play a season for weeks.
D4 came out I reached level 60 ish and grew bored, I tried again in S1 and got to the same level and quit. I heard about the loot revamp, and briefly tried season 3 before jumping into the new season.
The game is better because it's easier to feel this progression smoothly increase, without hitting such a large road block, but I am level 61 and in Torment 4, and again I just don't feel the urge to continue.

I found a lack of direction of what to do, the thing that puts me off is the bland world, hell-tides are rather boring. Kill a non stop spawn of demons and summon a boss...

If you can get it for cheap, give it a try, or do a Gamepass trial and play it there.

Not for me, I'm 100% physical media all of the time.

jwillj2k422d ago

I hate that I have to keep calling this out, but your physical disks mean nothing if the game code attempts to connect to a server prior to playing.

Hugodastrevas22d ago

And that happens when? I'm playing completely offline here, stellar Blade to be more precise.
I'm sorry but I've never run into that imaginary problem you're talking about, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it has never happened to me.

jwillj2k422d ago

You not running into the problem yet has no bearing on my argument. You’re acting like the medium is the shield for you being able to always play your games when it effectively is not. The game code itself can try to connect to a server or the console you’re playing on may receive an update that requires that game to connect to a server. Just because you haven’t ran into it doesn’t mean anything lol you don’t own your games no matter how you try.

Hugodastrevas22d ago

So I have never run into the problem you're talking about and your answer is an hypothetical? Look I can play any game of my library offline right now without issue.
That issue is in your mouth and alone.

Crows9021d ago

Actually...there's an easy way...don't connect. If it doesn't require a connection and you don't connect...the code can't update...obviously....confused why you don't get what he's saying.

outsider162421d ago

Hold on..lets say i dnt have an online connection, can i atleast play the game offline though. Was thinking of getting this

jwillj2k421d ago

None of you use your brains.

OK, let’s explore this playing offline. not talking about Diablo specifically just gaming in general.

Are you going to buy two PlayStations? One offline one online? If not, moment you want to play something that requires a connection you’re cooked.

Does game experience you love so much stay the same offline?

Is the game even playable offline?

The whole point of my argument is that we don’t hold the keys anymore. The gatekeepers are the developers and console makers regardless of whether it’s digital or physical. You altering your play style for a lesser experience is not a workaround, it doesn’t solve the overall problem.

None of this matters since the move to the cloud is inevitable.

spicelicka22d ago

So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.

MrNinosan22d ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka22d ago

That's streaming off your PS5, not from the cloud. This is specifically referring to cloud gaming.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto22d ago

Sony doesn't yet have a web or app-based solution to stream games off their cloud service, the closest you may be able to get would be Remote Play if they allow cloud streaming during a Remote session.

And yes this applies to the Portal too.

Einhander197221d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Tacoboto

Please stop talking about PlayStation Streaming, you don't know what you're talking about.

I just explained this to you the other day where you were telling people that remote play was their only cloud solution, because apparently you didn't understand how PlayStation Premium works even though PS Now was a thing since shortly after the launch PS4..

You can stream to PC and Mac, and they had mobile clients for it in the past but probably for the same reason Microsoft is fighting Apple and Google PS Now wasn't allowed on App stores. Which is why it's not on iPhone and Android still.

And to be honest, I am glad they are trying to keep it on the console, all their moves away from the console seem like a step in the wrong direction, which isn't working so great for Microsoft...

anast22d ago

Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.

Crows9021d ago

Well they're about to release the next season...I think that might be way they're pushing the game again.

anast21d ago

I mean I get what you are saying, but D4 isn't doing that well either.

UnbreakableAlex22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?

jwillj2k422d ago

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game. I had to use the mailbox cheats to keep it interesting.

Crows9021d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Diablo 3 was really hard at launch....then they made it easy.

They love scaling difficulty though.

anast21d ago

D2 is the pinnacle. I still fire it up from time to time.

GrmpyolGamer 21d ago

Considering that the PS cloud steaming is garbage compared to XCloud and is limited to certain devices this isn't something to brag about. Wake me up when Diablo is on PS plus
