This game is going to be amazing! Waited too long, I was in college for 3

rlow1454d ago (Edited 454d ago )

The Game looks amazing. It should be a hell of alot of fun.

Kaii454d ago

Itemization/drops will obviously make/break the game, we'll see how the leveling process goes & hopefully they've got something more than G-rift scaling to 150

Okay..3 comments about "the game looks amazing" almost in a row. Are these accounts spambots or something?

sagapo454d ago

I guess “amazing” was word of the day on the toilet paper.
On topic: the game looks promising!

Terry_B454d ago

lol, yeah..its looking better than Diablo 3 looked before it was released, thats for sure at least.

2023-24 seem to be good for a-rpg fans

Still looking more forward to the final release of Last Epoch und the complete version of Wolcen. Seems Act 4 is finally out in a few weeks.

sagapo454d ago

@Terry:

Last Epoch indeed, got my eyes on that one for sure! They seem to have an interesting drop/trade system, according to a vid from Rhykker.

-Foxtrot454d ago

What is AMAZING is people forgetting the company behind it burning us so many times with MTs and other scummy practices to the point they’ll jump straight into this

I remember Diablo 3’s launch…

Terry_B454d ago

And I remember Diablo II and its damn [AMAZING] Remake.

Yeah, won't buy Diablo 4 before its at least 1 year on the market..more likely after 2 years. Have still some AMAZING fun with D2 as well as Poe and soon probably Wolcen (again) and Last Epoch.

Old McGroin454d ago

Are you ever not complaining?

-Foxtrot454d ago

@OldMcGroin

Oh shut up, who asked you. Want to get on people’s comments and the like, what about yours, literally always bitching about the user when you see something you don’t like. Least mines on topic for the article.

I’m just stating people being hypocrites, calling Blizzard and then going into something day 1 like nothing happened

Andrew336453d ago

People don't have to forget but they can still be adults and spend their money on whatever they want.

andydalum453d ago

I've said this before but I'll say it again. The battle pass system will help them keep a steady stream of income which should help. I also put a lot of hours into diablo 3 and very much enjoyed it. I'm sure people will cry about them having cosmetic things to buy or season pass prices. As long as it helps them continue support for the game and keep making content I'll be happy.

As long as the battle passes aren't something stupid price wise and there is enough in game loot I'll be happy.

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.

jwillj2k421d 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.

Hugodastrevas21d 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.

jwillj2k421d 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.

Hugodastrevas21d 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.

spicelicka21d 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.

MrNinosan21d ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka21d ago

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

CrimsonWing6921d ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto21d 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...

anast21d 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.

UnbreakableAlex21d ago (Edited 21d 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?

jwillj2k421d 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
