WHAT ABOUT DIABLO 4 ?????
D4 forever badD5 soon to be bad
>>747498842lol
>>747498842D4 bad
You seriously think they would have learned by now.
>>747498842By the time this comes out, D4 would've been 7 years old. I thought you retards wanted more timely new releases?
>>747498842IM HYPED!
>>747498842LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>747498842D3 sucked. D4 sucked. now they are just saying fk it and going to D5. lmao blizzdrones CANNOT defend this.
>>747498842>THEY ARE KILLING DIABLO 4 BEFORE DIABLO EVEN SHOWING UPKEK
PoE won so bigly they had to announce Diablo 5 with a 20 second cinematic 3 years in advance (it won't actually come out until 2030 most likely)
Coming out before Starcraft2 years after "amazon"Switch just now getting Diablo 4Is this quicker than Diablo 3 to 4? Either way, this was hilarious. Like, why spend money in the cash shop after this announcement? Shoulda saved it for next blizzcon.
>>747499290Smartest /v/tard.
>>747498842This can't be real, Diablo 4 hasn't even finished its fucking story....
>>747498842erase D3 and D4 from existence pls and thank you
>>747498842DIABLO /V/
>>747499179They did, that's why they are clean break from D4 to make actual successor to D1
>>747499390>diablo 4>story
>>747498842They know they can't fix 4. It's broken on a fundamental level. But saying that V comes out in 2029 is just dumb.
>>747499390It's slated for 2029.
So what does this mean for all the retards who spent hundreds/thousands on cosmetic D4 sloppa now that D4 is abandoned and dead?
>>747498842It must have flopped even harder than expected
>>747499521Yeah the whole "Diablo is coming" story
>blo the hiV aids dickcool...
Remember, once D5 releases the contrarian niggers here will never miss a chance to say how D4 was actually fun.I saved this post to revisit it in a few years and mock contrarian niggers the exact same way I did with D4 about D3.
D4 was god awful.Even 3 after they shutdown the money auction house and pushed a few updates was better than 4
>>747498842d4 is barely out of beta haha
>>747499551You get a pair of D V wings, no refunds.
>>747499619Nigga thats always the story
>D4 devs on stage excitedly announcing D5they should've brought at least an asian guy on stage, mentioned a new team lead, SOMETHING
>>747499661well d4 is in a decent state now. it was dogshit for like the first 2 years.
>>747499378They wouldnt be announcing diablo 5 if they pretended to release new expansions to diablo4 besides small random "class packs" such amazon.Diablo will not appear canonically in diablo 4.
>>747499661D3 was bad but D4 was so bad that it made D3 look better in comparison.
announcing d5 already is honestly wild especially after saying they are still updating d4d4 is such a nothing piece of shit
>>747498842I would have been so pissed off if I was a D4shitter who spend his allowance for skins only for them to drop 5 and abandon it
>>747499762Yes and in all 3 of the previous stories Diablo eventually shows up
Time to farm Mephisto in D2 again
>>747499661Trust me I will never say D4 was ever good or fun and I got that shit for free. I still won't even admit D3 was, because it wasn't.
>>747498842D2 >> D3 13 yearsD3 >> D4 10 yearsD4 >> D5 7 yearsgetting less dev time and worse over time. big oof.
>>747499848Aesthetically I prefer D4 I think they delivered on that marketing bit.
>POE2 in its weakest, earliest access state scared Blizzard so much they outright abandoned D4
>>747499390>They're pulling a fucking poochie this coming season by the sounds of it
>>747500025D3 was unironically decent until fags cried about the game being too slow and the real money auction house existing, which caused blizzard to completely convert it to Torchlight where even at the beginning of the game you're clearing maps with a single right click
Meanwhile poe 2 fans>HOLY SHIT GUYS THEY JUST PUT SWORDS IN THE GAME DAMN THIS IS FUCKIN TIGHThow is blizzard even still solvent lmao
>they literally spoiled diablo 4s future expansionsThey said that Diablo won in D5 for the first time which means D4s story will lead to that kek the fuck they're doing nigga
>>747498842KEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>747500145PoEfags are sunk cost hostages. PoE2 is the greatest game of all time til they announce PoE3 or that PoE2 isnt profitable enough, then the same dudes with 10000 hours will say it's the worst game they've ever played
what i hate the most about d4:>beeing able to increase difficulty with the push of a fucking button. you can be everywhere. so every area feels the same.>having a fucking rocket horse right from the start. d4 is visually beautiful but you just loldash through it
>diablo 4 didn't even have diablo in it
>>747498842>Diablo wasn't even in Diablo 4
>>747498842WAITIS DIABLO 4 EVEN GOING TO HAVE DIABLO AT THIS RATE???
>blizzkeks seething about poe in diablo 5 announcement thread
>>747498842KEK they really did say fuck diablo 4
>>747500304Go be gaped somewhere else, retard. In fact, put yourself into a coma until 2029 since your precious D4 dilator is officially abandonware.
>>747500025D4 came out 2023 and D5 is coming 2029. Barely 6 years
>>747498842Diablo 4 is better than 2. You'd know if you actually played it.
>>747500694The only way someone could have this opinion is if you're like 17 years old or something
>>747500397No one wants to play a run simulator ain’t nobody got time for that shit. you don’t have to use the horse if that is what you want.
>>747500180Diablo 4s story ended with Lord of Hatred and it was about Mephisto. The fuck are you talking about?
>>747500631I'm not even saying D4 is good lol. This is your brain on teamsports. I'll go one further and say D4 is worse than PoE2. That doesn't make PoE2 good
diablo 4 was just a beta for 5I hope you didnt waste any money on it
they should make it open world survival crafting sloppa like valheim but better action and loot. and also add in game store
>>747498842Hold on let me get this straight... we still don't get to fight diablo in diablo 4 but we are getting diablo 5?
>>747498842This is a great way for me to know to keep my money, since D4 doesn't even have DIABLO in it and now I have no reason to buy anymore season passes or anything since I know for a fact those won't carry over to D5. Also can't wait to get cockblocked again by having to wait 2-3 years for an iconic job to be locked behind a $40+ expansion instead of the base game like Paladin was in D4 and Necro was in D3.
Diablo: The End Times
>>747500694that's an impressively shit take
>>747500304I haven't even played poe 2 yet, and poe1 still manages to be fun when i come back to it every couple of leagues
>>747498842No one gives a shit about Diablo anymore. Path of Exile 2 mogs it in every way. The only thing D4 had over PoE1 was "omg poe1 is clunky and looks old"PoE2 mogs D4 in every capacity. It has better graphics, animation, music, writing, gameplay, skills, uniques, everything.
>>747500806I'm 40. I probably played Diablo 1 before you were even born. Have you played Diablo 4?
>>747498842Dun care, pump out more content for Diablo 2 instead.
>>747500945Cry about it in /d4g/Oh wait:)
They have to be doing it because of ExileCon and poe2 release at the end of this year, right?This is fucking hilarious
>>747501229poe1 still mogs poe2 in the fun factor field (FFF)
>>747501229lollmao
>>747501126We fought Diablo in 1, 2 and 3. Diablo 4 was about Mephisto returning since Diablo got btfo in 3.
>>747500180Diablo 4 isn't getting any expansion anymore
>>747501126no the new season starts 15th and diablo will be there apparently
>>747501270Yes, I have (unfortunately) hundreds of hours in it. I'm sorry you weren't able to grow out of your insanely shit taste in video games by that age, anon
D5 dilators seething alreadyZero hype for their cashgrab
>>747501363Not at this point. GGG is basically sabotaging PoE1 by having a skeleton crew on it that just fucks up the drops every league. Endgame rework this time for sure, right? (I have 5k hours in PoE1 and love it).>>747501417I know, laughing at Diablo is pretty easy, right?
is this an out of season april fools joke?
I'd rather take digital ambien than play D4
>>747498842Thats the most unexpected of unexpecteds. D4 was so bad they decided just to kill it? Like "gg go next"?
>>747501729The plan, they even said openly, was to support D4 until the expansions/MTX were selling less, then make D5 to start the process over again.
Even Titan Quest 2, which sucks, is better than Diablo 4. And I'm not even the biggest Diablo 4 hater ever
>>747501729Ain't no way it sold enough for micrococks liking, but such is the case of companies buying companies buying companies
>>747498842>Diablo
>>747501363Grim. PoE1 is trash>>747501521in what bizarro faggot world do you live in where this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCZmhu9cMcQIs better than thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZSgHmbouNkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TLgKiFbj5QI know /v/ has the shittest takes on the internet, but this is straight delusion
>>747501729They're cannibalizing the Diablo D4 expansion and just outright making it a game so they charge full price for it. It'll be exactly like D4.
>>747502089They already sell D4 expansions for full price so this still makes no sense.
Genuinely curious on what Blizzard will do with D5. Shit the bed, most likely, but still...
poe sisters we wonned
>>747502089What new D4 expansion? Diablo 4 ended conclusively with Lord Of Hatred.
>larping as an oldfag just to pretend d4 is better than d2the absolute state
D5 is gonna be just as bad as D4, nobody at Blizzard knows how to make a good ARPG.
poo2 is gonna be such trash, DV bros ww@
Wait, did Diablo even appear in Diablo 4?
>>747501847>And I'm not even the biggest Diablo 4 hater everSoon you will be, join us in our cold anger.
>>747502527https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCZmhu9cMcQ&https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZSgHmbouNkYou're straight up deluded if you think Diablo 2 is better than 4. >>747502685No, Diablo 4 is about Mephisto
>>747502750not only is it better, it's so much better that your contrarianism isn't even funny or entertaining
>Diablo 4 new season with the remaining prime evils>Amazon class packThis is just D3 again where they cancelled the expansion and recycled developed content into free updates and a class pack.
>>747498842>What about Diablo IVD4G was relegated to /vm/ where its last general thread lasted for over a month and currently doesn't have one. The game is dead.
>zoomies so mindbroken by GaaS that 3 year old game seems new to them
>>747502750>No, Diablo 4 is about MephistoThey should have called it fucking 'Diablo 4: Mephisto's Return' instead or some shit.
>>747502925https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCZmhu9cMcQ&https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TLgKiFbj5Q
>>747502513They were planning to do 2 expansions for each Prime Evil but D4 flopped so they changed course
>>747503134It's called Diablo 4: Age Of Hatred
>>747503140it must make you really angry that more people play diablo 2 than diablo 4
>>747503279Yeah I'm sure D5 won't flop too.
>>747503286I mean from the start since it was called Diablo 4 - and nothing else.
Anyone who bought D3 deserves this fate.You should've seen the signs then.
>>747503389D4 started off with Mephisto's Daughter trying to take over humanity
>>747503289No? I enjoy both. But 4 is objectively better than 2.
>>747503279do you have a single fact to back this up
>>747500694Is that faggot hitting a DEMONIC VAPE PEN???SCALP BLIZZARD DEVSSCALP BLIZZARD DEVSSCALP BLIZZARD DEVSSCALP BLIZZARD DEVS
>>747503389And Diablo 3 started with some of the Prime Evils coming out and trying to take over the world while Diablo was nowhere to be seen. I don't get it.
D1+D2*all xpacs*Rest has been total garbage.
>>747502750>That fucking D4 thumbnailYou should be put in a box for the rest of your life.
>>747503612>Urivar>faggotAnother poorfag who hasn't played Diablo 4
>>747503514it's not even better than diablo 3 lol
>>747503703Almost like Diablo was banished at the end of Diablo 2. Are you retards actually braindead?>>747503918No shit, Diablo 3 is the best in the series. 3 > 4 > 1 > 2.
>>747501270Either a shill or a genuine doublenigger with shit taste perpetuating shit to be made.I don't know which is worse.
>>747501229does poe2 have damage numbers yet?
>>747499179ONE MAN
>>747504106The point dickwad is that he still came back in the game called fucking Diablo 3.Fucking read you shitter.
>>747502685Lol, Lmao.
>>747501729They're gonna do the same with D5 since they just had that recent news article that Blizzard feels that they're not releasing enough Diablo annually for how big of a series it is supposed to be, despite it not being that kind of series ta all. They're gonna kill their own series since it's an old man game by this point and drive away their biggest fans since they wanna turn it into CoD with loot pinatas and cinematics.
>>747504106>3 > 4 > 1 > 2.
>>747504132Have you played Diablo 4?>>747504212Because Adria summoned him. No one summoned him in 4, retard.
>>747499064fpbp
>>747504275https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCZmhu9cMcQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TLgKiFbj5Q
>>747504282READ you dumbass, you legit tried to justify D4 not having him because of the beginning with it being with Lilith.And D3 started with fuckign Magdha and the other Prime Evils whihc also didn't have him until the fucking end.Are you pretending to be retarded on purpose?
>>747503846>PoorfagI could buy 10 copies right now lmao.I would never willingly play shit like some stupid depressed faggot like you. Have fun no-brain clicking thru this derivative turd of a once great series.Maybe with that (((money))) you should buy a rope, anon, it'd be most beneficial to us all.
>>747503759I've played D2 Resurrected 1 playthrough with necromancer. I might emulate D3 on a Switch emulator since it can be played offline without gaas
>No D1 remaster>No added content to D2>D4 killed by D5 announcementUhhhhh... OK.
>>747503605Literally open your eyes you blind faggot. It's happening right in front of you.
>>747504421>THE>SAME>TWO>VIDEOSYou can try and gaslight us into thinking D2 wasnt a great game all you like.It's just retarded to do it lmao
>>747499179learned what? that blizzdrones are cattle and will buy anything?reminder even immortal made billions
>>747504443No part in Diablo 4s story was there any goal to ressurect Diablo you dumb fuck. Adrias goal was to resurrect Diablo from the start in 3.
>>747499661Congratulations anon. You finally figured out the cycle of /v/
>D3 flops>abandoned after one expansion>D4 flops>abandoned after one expansion (cut into halves and sold twice)>D5 flops>
>>747499390That's ok they already spoiled the story. Apparently Diablo wins and takes over heaven GG. Nothing you do in d4 matters now lmao.
>>747504568damn I hope you aren't a lawyer with the way to present evidence
>>747498842This is hilarious, they couldn't figure out a way to balance the game and make it fun so they gave up and are trying again. What the fuck is blizzard doing?
>>747504705Oh I'm responding to a contradicting shitstain, of course.Go fuck yourself.
>>747498842Why fix a bad game when you can make another bad game that makes you more money? I hope they've learned something and diablo 5 is good, but I'm not going to get excited.
>>747504641https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCZmhu9cMcQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TLgKiFbj5Q
>>747504443It's a shill anonThey'll say anything to shit this board up and bump the thread. He's called me a poorfag and he'll probably call you a pajeet or woketard next while saying this vape puffing homo is some super based and redpilled villain.He should unironically be murdered in cold blood and his blood used in the making of an actual good Diablo game.
>diablo /V/we won
>>747504421Yet every diablo game released after D2:LoD has flopped.
>>747504734Diablo 2 only had one expansion. Was it abandoned too?
>GGG offices right now
>>747504734D3 sold like hotcakes and had 11 years between it and D4. You can say it's a mid game (it is) but it did very well.
>>747504174I DON'T KNOW WHY
>>747502480I bet she could reach my prostate with her middle finger
>>747498842https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb1yE71bw3o
>>747498842>2029Why the FUCK would you even announce this shit now?
>>747504854Got anything else to say, faggot? Or just gonna bump your shit thread?>>747504986>midIt was total shit anon let's not kid ourselves here. If you bought D3 you deserve this for being a shit slurping faggot.
>>747498842Imagine how Diablos return is going to be after how kino Lord Of Hatred was
>>747504986Blizzard outright said D3 flopped and cancelled the second expansion.
Personally I'm holding out for Diablo 6 just to enjoy the retarded marketing using the number 6 (666!).Diablo 5 will be mid.
>>747504973poe2 won so hard it's unbelievable, blizzard just committing suicide with this one
>>747504986>but it did very well.You must not have been around for the launch of D3.
>>747505168Videos speak for themselves. No amount of delusion can refute video evidence
>>747505208which was odd because RoS literally set records for how much it soldit was the best selling expansion of anything ever (including WoW expansions) until like, Blood and Wine for W3 I believe.
>>747505331>set recordsIt's called lying.
>It is set 100 years after Diablo IV, after the world has fallen into an apocalyptic setting, with Diablo, the Lord of Hatred, having taken over the world
>>747505378>dude they totally just lied to their investors
>>747505380>the player had no impact in d4 and it all goes to wastelawl
>>747505380Diablo is the Lord of Terror
Fuck yes buddy, D4 kicks ass (except the jungle expansion and that girl).
>>747505069Blizz is just another shitty Microsoft company now, They announce slop only for investors not actual gamers.I would be surprised if D5 and that SC Shooter even release at all.
>>747505462Yeah, first time? You seem to have trouble spotting the difference between words and actions.
>>747498842poesissies where's poe3
>>747505554I liked Vessel of Hatred, especially returning to Travincalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcWuHxd5TC8&
>>747500694>>747501270They were right. Diablo 4 really is cocomelon for boomers.
>>747498842https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcdHPZzyCxQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiOwBZhEbNghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE5CFmaEqCsEvery human being in the planet should watch these videos, they are mainly aboud Diablo but they talk about modern games in general too and it's great.
>>747505637they're only making two games to force artificial scarcity
use case of telling everyone that your game is dead and the real one is coming out in 3 years so dont buy this one?
Didn't 4 just fucking come out to negative reviews? How the fuck is this one gonna work or are they pushing this shit out to fight PoE2? So what we got New WoW to fight XIV, new 'Starcraft' to fight probably Helldivers, and a new Diablow for PoE2? What's the odds all these turn out to be fucking bad still?
>>747505760Do you faggots get all your opinions from Youtube?
>>747505932No? Diablo 4 has a higher Metacritic than Diablo 2 Resurrected. And Lord Of Hatred is generally considered peak Diablo.
>>747505380>Killing Diablo in D1 didn't mean anything>Killing Diablo in D2 didn't mean anything>Killing Diablo in D3 didn't mean anything>Killing Lilith in D4 didn't mean anythingWE ARE NOW HERE>Killing Diablo in D5 didn't mean anything
>Metacritic
>>747505987No, but some videos are really good at putting together the thoughts of people.
>>747505987Do you suck all your dicks in alleys?
>>747505760>carefully tuned potion drop ratesI dislike this too. Y'all need to stop sanding the edges off of games.
>>747498842What about Diablo 4?
>>747505932LoH actually had pretty strong reviewsI liked it because they killed that annoying Asian child in the opening intro.
>>747506090>And Lord Of Hatred is generally considered peak Diablo.By who? The Mayor of Retard City? Piss of with this crap.
>>747504721>finally>D3 release date: 2012I've been doing this for longer that you've been here more than likely. Sit down, nu-"""""oldfag"""""".
>>747504721That's the cycle of everything, just look at the Star Wars prequels which now everyone likes after the Disney movies came out.
>>747506145It means another opportunity to kill demons and get loot. "The reappearance of Diablo" is Sanctuary's version of Black Friday sales.
>>747506436it's finished, you played itnow buy the next one retard
>uhhhh do you guys get your opinions from youtube?>posts metacritic as it's an objective metric of game qualityactual goyim
they will surely get the itemization and power progression correct in diablo 5 this time...r-right guys? .....right ?
>>747506507Have you played Lord Of Hatred?
>>747498842will it be another mmolite?
>>747506597
>>747498842D4 was too slow to try to appeal to boomers. Just give me Demon Hunter in D4 already, Rogue felt like a dogshit lower quality version.
>play Diablo 4 for like 30 hours>ok that was enough>play Diablo 2 for like 30 years>ok let's keep goingWhat's the magic of Diablo 2 anyways?
>>747505325This looks bad lmao >>747506090>And Lord Of Hatred is generally considered peak Diablo.No one has ever said this. Not even my brother that still plays modern blizzshit says this.
>>747499661Also save this post nigger, poe will continue to reign the arpg scene
>>747505380>>747505525>Meanwhile The Nephalem
>>747499390They just did though
>>747506793It just werks.
>>747499290>Diablo4 ending>Diablo wins you dont even lootpinhata his avatar in 4
>>747504868>shillIt's just a guy baiting for replies and you gullible retards fall for it anytime, just read this shit: >>747502068, nobody with a sane brain would post that unironically, it's too obvious.
>>747506793What do you even do in Diablo 2 after you finish it? The main story is like 15 hours long. Is there an end game?
>>747499661But Diablo 3 needed a lot of reworking to get people to think it's an ok game, was D4 ever fixed into at least "not the worst game ever made"?
>>747505604They would have been sued for it, dipshit.
>>747507030nope its an mmo to fix it you have to rebuild the whole game offline and left sdk for modders
>>747507003You keep redoing the levels at harder difficulty. The first levels of the game are the best anyway which is why Diablo players erase their save every year lol
>>747507132You're just as dumb as the investors. Good drone.
>>747506145>thinking killing diablo was ever supposed to mean anythingYou never beat D1 did you?
>>747506953Either way he should be banned from the internet.
>>747507030D4 kinda occupies the same niche that D3 does now. It's an "OK" ARPG if you're scared of actually learning a game or playing it for more than 2 hours at a time. The only problem is that D3 unironically does the "babbies first ARPG" better than D4 so I don't really get the point of it existing unless you're a graphicsfag.
>>747504868Can't even have an opinion on this shithole without being called a shill>>747507217Who the fuck would wanna replay Act 3 onwards over and over? They were bad enough the first time
>>747504648Fpbp
>>747507003build autism. the remaining hardcore players know all the gay little things like what items and bases come from which monster levels and which specific areas you can farm those monsters in. and stuff like muh breakpoints. blah blah blah.
>>747507003You just keep playing it duh.
>>747502068thats just an mmo disguised as diablo
>>747506863I had enough fun with PoEniggers when I undusted all the comments about how korean ARP animation-locking attacks and rollslop was bad when PoE2 was announced.
>>747507269>keeps doubling down after his retardation was exposed and proved that he has no idea how investors workEmbarrassing. By your logic no company would ever report losses since they can get away with it forever according to your retarded ass.
>>747506665What does that have to do with anything? Your feefees won't change that anyone with half a brain will tell you D2 was the peak.
>>747506145it meant anything in 2 but blizzard retcons everything
>>747507380Your opinion is shit then, anon. Not our fault you enjoy getting raped in the ass. I'll go back to D2 or try PoE2 if I ever get the lootan and scootan itch.
>>747507523Why was King of the North cancelled? You won't answer truthfully because you're a raped Blizzdrone.
>>747507380>Who the fuck would wanna replay Act 3 onwards over and overI dunno. In Path of Exile they redo the campaign every time new content drops and I see the people in comments talking about how they hate the campaign but they still do it anyway
god i love this meme
>>747507630I can also go back to 2 as well (not that I particularly want too, campaign sucks after Act 3 and the bosses are dogshit), while also enjoying 4
>>747507834Jon is always classy about it at least. He basically refuses to talk shit about Diablo which is kind of funny considering how easy it would be lel
PoE won
>>747498842These niggas have run out of ideas, haven't they? I'm still gonna be playing D2 in 2029.
>>747508029They never had any ideas. All of the people that founded Blizzard and created Starcraft, Warcraft an Diablo are long gone. The current people that work there have no imagination.
>>747500861>Time spent in game :285 Days, 16 Hours, 11 minutes.You have the time, you are just a sperg who likes instant gratification
>>747508008Is PoE2 better than 1? I tried one recently after finishing the Diablo series, but it felt like a poor mans Diablo 4.
>>747508157Lord Of Hatred is peak Diablo though
diablo 4 is fucking way better than PoEplaying it again now cause it was on sale and it's a blast
>>747498842>somehow Diablo returned (again)(again)(again)
>>747508364
>diablo v announcement thread>it's about poe
>>747508481Have you played it?
>>747508029
>>747508571im not a victim of scammers
>Get so fucking destroyed by a beta version of POE2 (that didn't even have a finished campaign or swords) you run all the way screaming to the year 2030
>>747508640
what the fuck happened in diablo 4? i did not play it, all i know is that lilith is there and she does nothing
>>747507912>Acts 4 and 5 being the worstJesus Anon just stop. The ONLY issue with Act 4 is it's only 3 quests and the town is small. Act 5 is absolutely amazing. The intro run-up with the NPC barbs you can help. The music. The fucking free socket quest. THE NAMED EQUIPMENT PERSONALIZATION QUEST. The kino landscape of a mountainous tundra. THE INTRODUCTION OF RUNES. That free fucking DOUBLE SKILL UP for the first quest. THE FUCKING ANCIENTS FIGHT AND THE GAUNTLET TO BAAL.Holy shit you did not grow up with this game you dumb stupid fuck I bet you never even owned the big box OR played D2 before the expac.
>>747499551Same thing as retards who spent money on PoE1. Live service games never last.
>>747508803I mean Act 3 onwards suck. Act 3 is trash. Act 4 was ok. Act 5 is so trash I had to force myself through it
>>747508797you trooned out and became a she/her
>>747508364The implementation of the cube in LoH is a fucking abomination, Blizzard can't decide if they actually want chase items in the game or not so they keep flip flopping on Mythic drop rates, and the story turned Lilith into Kerrigan 3.0. The only good thing about LoH is the overworld music. Yes, I fucking played it.
>>747508797they turned it into a shit moo where your gear effects are IFFF IT HIGH NOON AND YOUR CHARACTER DOES X YOU GET 1% OF BULLSHIT EFFECT YOU DONT KNOW THE FUCK ITS WITHOUT GOOGLE SEARCH OR RAW DAMAGE OR CRITICAL CHANCE
>>747508803And yeah I did play it as a kid. I bought picrel from Blockbuster and my mom kept uninstalling it from the family PC because she thought it was turning me into a satanist. No amount of nostalgia will change the fact Act 3 onwards sucks
>>747499551>why won't my live service horse armor carry over to the sequel?>No refunds
>>747504140It always did
>>747498842>sanctuary has fallen>everything is fucked>you must survive the hordes of demonsthey want to be grim dawn but they lack the sauce, no blizzard game will have stuff like the fleshworks, darkhale village and trip south
>>747508942Act 3 being a midway filter is kino tho. I remember being a kid and having to figure out I couldn't just blast thru to the end and actually needed to forge the flail to continue. Tracking thru that jungle until I completed the quest.SHIT STILL STICKS WITH ME 20 YEARS LATER.Modern Blizz could never.Act 4 was great as a final deacent into Hell. Could've done with a bigger town and 3 more quests but it's fine as is. Saying five is shit is so asinine you need to give some reasons to support your dumbass opinion.
>>747508992End game sucks, but the campaign was peak
>>747509162but perhaps it will have fleshlights
>>747509204D2s Act 3 wasn't hard, it was boring. And Act 5 is shit, especially compared to Diablo 3s Act 3.
>>747509224it was following retards that atleast dont speak like borderlands characters
>>747501229These spinny moves are so gay. If you use them, fuck you.
>>747499551does any live service game have cosmetics carry over to the sequel?
WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT D2R????
>>747509403d2r will have more new class character expansions in the future
>>747509374>You can't use Whirlwind in an ARPG
>>747509117>Not a big boxI feel sorry for you.>>747509337Again you can repeat this idiocy but you'll have to conjure up some reasons to really show me you're being genuine and not a tarded shitposter
>>747509392POE
>>747509536You can't in the good ones
>buy D2R on sale for a nostalgia wank>suddenly they start foisting microtransactions priced as full expacs which is just a gary stu warlock character>so lazy they didn't add legacy graphics, so shit their legacy rendering engine is still ugly as hell and terrible compared to actual D2>WoW is neutered casual Everquest and anyone that played past vanilla Naxx is a retardEven if they get lightning in a bottle which they haven't in decades they will aggressively monetize it to death with P2W and other retarded lowest common denominator weekend dad demographic catering to clowns that want to swipe their CC until the actual game and grind goes away. Why does anyone care about this shit studio and a formerly good universe/game being held hostage by it? They will not produce anything good.
>>747509403Check out D2RLoader, the modding community is just about fully caught up on making D2R modding friendly. Once that happens people can make their own content.
>>747499223It's just a d4 expansion renamed
>>747509623It's a sick sense of amusement to see all these once great companies just utterly shit the bed with what should be easily profitable knock-out series.>FF7 is timejanny rewrite central >OoT is THEY HIRED THAT MAN gerber-baby Link UE shit>D2R was serviceable but showed they can only replicate with strict guidelines to not change too much shit like with Reforged. And they still fucked the characters models.And we're just getting more remakes and remasters. And you see this across all entertainment industries. Music rehashes old songs with shittier vocals and beats, Films are redone with niggers and trannies, and your favorite childhood game is handed to fuckheads and indians to be turned into total slop.Welcome to the Fall of Rome.
>>747499290Diablo will show up in the next season so all prime evils are in the game now in one way or another
>>747504961In an era where expansions were scarce, and normally any game would get only one, if any? Versus now that they milk any game till it´s dead?
>>747510068oot gonna sell anyway nintendo cult its strong in normies
>>747498842D4 filler game confirmed. IV is a poopy numberV is a full number. respectable.
>>747510115>YOU THOUGHT I WAS LORD OF TERROR BUT IM DIABRO LORD OF HATRED THE FORGOTTEN
>>747510720The new Path of Exile and Diablo will sell well to the divorced dad audience too
>>747499505>this one is the ACTUAL successor ;)The funniest part is this will work once again. Until people play it of course.
>>747500025D1-D2 was only 4 years which is more than enough. People are mind fucked by studios taking 15 years to shit out a bad sequel when this wasn't the norm for good games.
Who wanna bet that D5 will look the same as D4 visually, with minor tweaks, and will be copying PoE2 while having 120$ price tag and abysmal amount of 30$ sets?
>>747511028D2 also didn't have 4k textures and a billion HD assets and 5,000 employees working on it and 19 layers of management. There's a reason modern games take so long, and there's no real "locking in" and simply making them faster without massive company restructuring from the ground up or sacrificing "quality" (lol)
>>747511126A PoE2 copy I could see doing fine and having a niche if they committed to the "meaningful combat" part rather than how it currently is in PoE2, where the meaningful combat lasts about 3 campaign acts and then good builds start instantly killing bosses, then continue to do that until juiced T15 maps, then a few days of playing after that they do tens of millions of DPS
I don't care about PoE
>Boughted 4>Turns into a shitshow>It'll be fine... They'll get it together >just one more expansion>Gets even worse>Now get a grand announcement that we're getting taken out back and shot and replaced by a new puppy>Oh btw we're spoiling the story too santuary gets fucked lmaoooo! what? you wanted to experience that ingame? Pffthahahahaha
>>747508942I like Act 3 actually. The Durance of Hate is kino.
>>747512904Are diablo fans the most raped of all blizzard fags?
>>747513000We've had a hard lifeAt least diablo 2 still exists
>>747513000Warcraft fags are the most raped humans in general
>>747512904And you'll buy 5 like a good dipshit
>>747513590nah, i won't d4 opened my eyes enough
why am I supposed to hate D4 so much again? LoH was pretty great
Hamburger helper is there holy shit
YESFUCK LIVE SERVICES GIVE ME MORE GAMES
"everyone has failed to stop the bad thing and this game is youre in it"ive played diablo 3 and 4isnt this literally every diablo game?Im not complaining but theyre saying it like its a new thing
>>747513853OH NONONO
>>747513768in my opinion diablo 4 season 0 was genuinely awfulI picked the game up again with LoH and imagine my shock when>they listened>game actually is great>is actually fundamentally different and retro depending on the seasonyeah it is better, but I wouldnt be surprised if some people were understandably turned off from the remarkably miserable season of the malignant
>no gameplay, just rich crackers talking sales pitchGaming is so gay now. I literally do not care about the lore, let me smash stuff with a big hammer
>>747513868Was this not going to be always online?
>>747514093season of the witch was my favorite
This whole conference has been like sitting in a neverending zoom meeting
Why isn't there at least a PowerPoint presentation? This is literally like watching no mans sky interviews or any e3 era shit
>>747514130Shorter release periods between games make live services unoptimal.Blizz is fucked regardless so it will be always online.
>>747514005blizzard should hire gaider too
>>747514093oh yeah don't get me wrong, D4 has had some fucking stinkers for seasons, and VoH was pretty meh but LoH and everything since has been pretty great.
>>747508849But PoE 1 transfered some stuff from there to PoE 2.
so wheres d1r>>747513853end of rine
>>747501229>uniques, everything.what was that?
>>747509151the shit on top for bosses does not count.
I bought D2 resurrected when it hit Steam but are D3 and 4 worth playing in any shape or form?
>>747498842I actually like D4. Seems like enough time to give it one more DLC. Not sure why these have to be live service forever games. Seems retarded. I don't like playing any game forever. I do the campaign and move on. The concept of endgame is a lie sold to you by marketers and your favorite twitch streamer.
>>747515243A lot of them suck but more of them are build changing or amplifying than D4's. It is more like almost all of the old PoE2 uniques are bad, but the ones they've been adding since like 0.3 or 0.4 have been pretty damn good.
>>747513668You bought D3 too, didn't you anon?You need to be flogged until your taste improves, or put in a cage like Deckard and poked at by rakanishus. There's no other way to say it.
>>747515389No.
whos this black queen?I want to worship her
>>747515389The campaigns of D3 and D4 are just not like Diablo 2. In Diablo 2, the campaign IS the game. Yes, there are end game farm loops and shit but in D3/4 they are basically just filler to level you up the first time you play till you get to end game where 90% of the effort goes. If you don't wanna do end game, then IMHO no.
>they hired hamburger helper>procedural world and dungeons>sets are back>multiple slot items in inventory>trying to reinvent itemization AGAINHoly fucking kek this is them admitting D4 failed on all fronts
>>747504961Seeing as how they went ahead and HD remastered it...i'd say not abandoned. You cuck.
>>747515389If you never played Diablo then D4 is decent for newfags but D2 is still THE arpg that no arpg has overtaken
>>747515751Except for PoE 2.
>>747515436there was a side quest in LoH that hinted at Baal coming back before Diablo did, so I think another expansion is possible. But if they don't announce it (or hint at it) tomorrow then its probably not happening.
>>747515807>She thinks PoE2 is better than D2
>>747515642People liked D2R and obviously D2 has been glazed for 20 years. Why don't they just fucking take what people like in that game and put them in the modern game? They need to stop trying to reinvent this game because they've failed twice now and are likely going to fail a third time because they're retarded.
>>747501229POO2 is worse then one though?>Oh hey cool let me try this explosive spear skill with my first ever gem cut!>Wtf wheres the damage? Why doesnt it explode instantly?>Oooooh I need to use this shield skill first to put a debuff on the enemy.>Then I need to press a skill that launches me away from the enemy... Better cut that gem..>Now I can finally use the skill... after spending 5 seconds generated a frenzy charge with each pack
>>747508803uncs pussy got wet talking about this lol
>>747515885Overall? Yes.
I just want a game that sits in between POE1 and D3
>>747516021you said this before d4 and you bought d4 for 70 dollarsyou will doit again, retard
>>747515891What people like you completely miss about PoE2 is that you can play the game in 2 completely different ways>build your tree like shit, use shit items, shit support gems, etc>have to hit 2-4 button combos (nowhere near as complicated as you describe) to do max damage>build well>you can mash one button over and overWhen you make this complaint of poe2 you just out yourself as a shitter or someone that's regurgitating a shitpost you fell for
>>747498842poe shat all over diablo so diablo 5 is probably going to be completely different from the previous games
>>747516113I did not play D4? D4 was trying to be lost ark (except it looked dogshit and shallow)
>>747515891Except they added an easy way to get frenzy charges early on spear because of your exact complaint, anon. Turns out in early access they sometimes need to update shit and add new skills because of design oversights.
>plague knight mite b cool
>>747516197>The bandaid was to spam another skill instead of the one you want to useBravo Jonathan... Such big brained solutions..
>>747498842They learned their lesson with Reign of the Warlock being a surprising success. Diablo 5 will be absolute kino and the true successor to Diablo 2.
>>747516161>Literally level 2>NOOOO YOUR TREE AND BUILD ARE SHIT FUCKING NOOBlol
>>747516161If the combat wasn't designed by smoothbrains you would have to actually use your abilities synergestically, alas we're stuck with 0-1 button "gameplay" for mouthbreathers who want to play glorified slots
>>747516427Then they should give us more Diablo 2 stuff, like a finished Act 4 or Act 6. They will fuck up D5 as they fucked up D4.
Diabo V... I am forgotten..
>>747514005>>747513853dafuq, she aged 40 years since DA2
>>747516161NTA but an issue with PoE2 is that they need to get a grip on skill balance and damage output. Damage is generally quite easy to get but most combos are slow, everyone moves towards one or two button builds because there's no point slowing yourself down for a combo when things are instantly dying anyway, or maybe you just save it for the boss so it dies in 1 second rather than 3 seconds.
>>747498842d5 bad
>>747506597nope, but I'm glad you mention those as they're the most important part of a Diablo game
>>747517157Where is the D1 remake?
I don't know shit about Diablo, but are you telling me that he's not even IN Diablo 4? Hahahahaha then what the fuck are you doing in it?
>>747498842D4 just wasn't woke enoughthe next story protagonist will be a mixed race transexual
Cool, they can make another bad game that'll get mogged by PoE2.
>its realHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAAHHHAAHD2 chads are forever winning. You only accidentally make greatness once.
>>747498842Is it always online?If so, then I do not care.
>>747517498Diablo is a jobber and forcing him to be the big bad in 3 games didnt work out (hes not the big bad in diablo 2 or 3 either)
>>747498842Dead. Please remember to buy more cosmetics for this dead game, including the upcoming Witcher pack. Please remember to continue buying shit that will not transfer to Diablo V. Please remember to buy cosmetics in Diablo V, which they will promptly drop support for, and will not transfer to Diablo VI.
>>747517667but if you play offline, how would you be able to show off your cool premium cash shop costumes?
>>747517498people fighting him at blizzcon
>>747517631>they committed to unfucking the shit Diablo IV>brought DIII to a new state that people for the most part seem to likei mean it beats dropping it and trying to sell me a new game
>>747517957I can show it to my dog, I bet he'd be very impressed
>>747516487You're not using some elaborate 5 skill combo at level 2 you larping nigger.
>>747504174This goes hard as fuck
>>747513853>>747514005kek
>>747518312Literally the only way to generate frenzy charges for explosive spear is with the fucking parry combo at that level you fucking touristOr did you forget Cull the weak is a level 3 gem?
>>747518058Yes, they mentioned the next league/event is a nostalgia thing where you essentially fight the d2 lore versions of baal, mephisto, and diablo. It's just a nostalgia baiting thing and still doesn't have him actually worked into the game in any real way
>>747498842D4 dipped its toes into the water by allowing wasd movement but was too cowardly to actually allow attacking while moving because large studios are too risk adverse to actually try out new ideas. Now that PoE 2 paved the way and proved people like it will they finally do it? They have the resources to put in the effort and make melee able to as well instead of animation locked steps with attacks like PoE 2 so at least they could have that advantage.
>>747499179They did. That's why they sent out a chinese woman instead of a chinese man to sell you on the game
what you guys not have phones?
>>747518881You don't need frenzy charges to make explosive spear do damage. It's a completely optional way of squeezing out more damage if you want, and you need 1 (one) other skill in disengage to get those frenzy charges if you want them that bad.
>>747518963Huh? You can use a controller retard.
>>747519347>You don't need frenzy charges to make explosive spear do damage>Just kite the mobs around the spear and wait 3 seconds every timeHoly fuckOk , now I understand you're actually a shitter pretending to be a good player, probably a D4 refugee
It was completely retarded to tell people about this now in 2026. Why the fuck would you tell people this now and not like..2028? Now your game is just on a timer in people's minds.
>>747498842The only way they're ever getting me to even try it if it's playable offline and single-player AND if they lose the gay open world.
>>747519646Game is in good hands I see.
>Make live service game>Announce sequel to live service gameWhat a fucking humiliation ritual
>>747519362you can't attack while moving with a controller. Have you play path of exile 2? do you even know what I'm talking about? taking a single step forward with each melee attack is not what I'm talking about. That's still animation locked movement and doesn't allow strafing or backstepping.
>>747519556If you don't want to use the skill how it's designed use another skill>noooooooooo I don't want solutions I want to cry!And you're whining about other people being shit. D4 is trash, stop projecting nigger.
>>747515679>+35% Critical damage on a fucking blue spearI could come up with better shit on a lunch break but classic rune socketing is a good sign.
>>747519989>If you don't want to use the skill how it's designed use another skillYou mean with frenzy charges and combos? Just stop anon, you're embarrassing yourself here.
>>747519709Sounds like the open world might be gone based on the dev panel saying that both overworld and dungeons will be procedurally generated again.
>>747519886It's a massive betrayal. Why would I buy any more expansions?
>>747520083>You mean with frenzy charges and combos?You can use the combo if you want, or not, or use a different skill altogether if you like neither. But your reading comprehension is so poor you can't wrap your brain around this. Genuine nigger tier IQ. Post hours in poe2 so I can laugh at you some more before I go make dinner
>>747519646What stood out to me is that Tiffany Wat Executive Game Producer who has been QA testing/producing Diablo since Diablo 3, told the story of how she learned Diablo was not a redeemable character just recently.
>>747520172That's pretty good, I had no interest in 4 because it was an MMO and the beta or alpha, was it, that I tried sucked. Maybe I'm being too naive and optimistic to hope for a classic single-player thing. I haven't seen the dev panel, do they mention anything about that?
>>747498842>WHAT ABOUT DIABLO 4 ?????forgetaboutit
>>7475204382k hours and you're still a touristHow embarrassing
>>747520414Don't worry, it's coming in three years right ? Just keep buying what we have left in the drawers and finance the poor indie studioI just wish people opened their eyes about diablo 4 before it came out and SAW it was doomed to be massive garbage only born to farm morons
>>747520548It was best at launch when it was a slower paced focused dungeon crawler. They turned it into D3 as time went on and theres no reason to expect any different from D5. This is fucking bullshit!
>>747520548They were very sparse on details, but one thing mentioned was "no towns" (since the world has been destroyed) which doesn't lend well to showing off all your MTX shit like in D4.Other things they mentioned were: confirmed classes Demon Hunter, Monk, Plague Knight. Will launch with more classes than any other Diablo title. Maybe D2-style itemization and D3-style sets?
>>747520414it's not coming out for 3 yearsI don't know why they fucking announced it this earlyStill though, it only makes since if they feel they need to do it to add attacking while moving to compete with PoE2. Otherwise yeah, a full sequel was very unnecessary.
>>747498842Nice shitpost.Diablo died at 2: Lord of Destruction.
>>747499661Yep. Though it's because the people who liked it still play D3/D4 while the people who didn't move on which means the only people who want to talk about it are biased towards those who liked it.
>>747520590>too scared to post hours or refute my argumentThought so
>>747520768Well, that could work.. The world being "destroyed" will, I imagine, be explored in D4's expansion(s). Maybe it's gonna be a sort of soft "reboot", it's starting to seem like that, just with more stuff. Thanks for the info.
>>747520778It's really a massive blunder. There won't be any meaningful graphical leap, D4 looks great anyway. They aren't changing the systems if this screenshot is anything to go by >>747515679. So what the fuck do we need this for? It's going to end D4 fucking today and I'm not buying D5, at least at launch.
>>747520695I didn't like how the classes played (I think I played some Druid and some Sorcerer, or whatever was in the beta), but it being an MMO meant I'll never play it. No idea how it was at launch, but I'd MUCH MUCH rather play fucking D3 than deal with gay ass mmo bullshit.
>>747519886>>747520414Get used to it. It was the plan for a while.
>>747520971Na, I was done arguing with you when you said you don't need frenzy charges to make explosive spear do damage.Continue seething though
Diablo 4 is fucking garbage and can't be fixed, the sooner they move on the better so everyone can understand Blizzard is not capable of making good games anymore.
>>747521291It's not an MMO by definition, retard. Do you mean always online? Because it's been that way since D3 fucking 15 years ago and I assure you that isn't changing with D5.
>>747500028>Surely they learned from D3 on how to make a good gameplay>Surely they learned from D4 how to make good aesthetic>Surely now that they released D2 expansion they reminded me of what a good game is and what they are supposed to do.I don't think there have been a situation like that ever when company is presented with literally EVERY FUCKIN clue on how to make a game that people would like.
>>747521293Remember this was the plan with WoW expansions and they fucked it up so bad WoD was gutted to shit? Going to see lots of cancelled or butchered releases like OW2.
>>747498842Is it always online like 4?
Is this really gonna be another fucking ARPG? They really need to do something different, something ambitious; make it a soulslike set in the Diablo universe or something. We really don't need Diablo 4 2.0
>>747521771and like 3. There is no way blizzard would ever go back on letting their games get a chance to be pirated.
>>747521543D4 is absolutely an MMO, dipshit, shared world and all that. I don't play D3 on PC, I emulate it because I can play offline local co-op and online co-op with a program. Requiring just a connection to battle.net isn't the same thing as a shared world. Resurrected was cracked, for example.
>>747504741very jewish story
>>747522052What a dumb fucking post.
>>747522052It's not massively multiplayer. It's very instanced multiplayer where you see people in towns and only a few select people outside of towns.
>>747521771Diablo 5, the females will actually be sexy for the purpose of selling skins
>>747522313Ok, so it's not exactly an MMO, but it has all the same hallmarks, and there is a big, shared open world, content that requires you to play with other players, itemization is done on the servers, etc. I don't know what the correct label is, then, but I still wouldn't want to play that. They said D3 couldn't work unless you're online and then release console versions which worked just fine without Internet. Yes, since they want to sell you stuff, It's not likely to happen at all, but I'm saying that I hope it does. That's all.
>>747521771Im sure it will be and probably even more annoying about it. Seeing a bunch of randoms running around with retarded names killed my immersion in 4.
>>747515891poe2 is just spending hours and hours getting rid of all the bullshit they stack on skills. until you are just pressing one button as intended. meanwhile none of the competitors do this shit btw you can just have fun.
>>747498842it's dead
So, let me get this straight. Diablo himself will never appear in D4. The entire D4 was the setup for his appearance in D5.
>>747523219The last 2-3 seasons will likely buildup towards Diablo 5 is my guess, but no one wants to accept that around here. They rather meme it up.
>>747505554nah diablo 4 seesaws between #comfy (at best) and shit depending on the patch, if i didn't wfh i'd have casual hours played like you
diablo players exist to make gatcha players feel better.
>>747522313and what about world bosses? Or legions? Or dozens of players idling in towns?>noo the only thing that are mmos are when they have guilds organizing 40 player raids in instances!!d4 is absolutely an mmorpg, faggot
>>747523723More like Blizzdrones. They're like bootleg tendies.
>>747506145Diablo won't actually make an appearance until D6. In D5 you just fight his adjutant.
>>747523219D4 was all about Mephisto trying to take over, theres nothing about setting up Diablo's return at all outside of a sidequest at the end of LoH, that spelled out what was shown off today.

>>747499361It "launches" spring 2029. Joe Shely kept talking about player feedback so much, it makes me wonder if they're going to do what PoE 1/2 did, with a year or two of paid early access development. Blizzard typically doesn't do that, but several massive games have (BG3), and recouping development costs while the game is still developing is probably highly attractive. >>747500145PoE 2 players still have major qualms with +skill levels completely dominating the game, the atlas system, skills only being accessible at higher levels while leveling up, etc. You probably don't even play.
>>747522854>I don't know what the correct label isA mess.
>>747522854You old enough to remember Guild wars? Drop the massive from MMO. Maybe add a smaller descriptor there instead.
>>747499179this is a funny way to depict an ugly short onions with double pussy braces on asking a passive aggressive question at an advertisement for a shitty video game>Ermmm ith thith like april foolth joke??
>>747515225HR Mafia doesn't exis-
>>747528130and yet he still mogs you because I doubt your bitch ass would be able to stand in front of a crowd that size.pic is u btw lmao
>>747498842diablo 4 is a piece of trash and they've sucked out plenty of money from retards buying battle passes and cosmetics so might as well turn a d4 expansion into diablo 5
>>747528539>Ermmmm... ith thith thupothed to be thome kind of inthult??
>>747522052A core pillar of an MMO is the necessity of needing others. In D4, you can do literally everything by yourself. The only reason you even see other people in Diablo is to entice you to buy cosmetics.In a proper MMO, your character is one piece of a puzzle and other players are the same, so you come together to complete the puzzle. Whether that be an instance, raid, trading, whatever.The community shapes the experience, it's the entire point of having countless people to play with. Cooperating with others in an MMO is mandatory.
>>747521293>streamslop and content farm seriesRIP sweet prince
They should have just fixed D4 and continued building on it and selling expansions every year and a half.
>>747528539The fact that you think it takes courage to ask a question in public, does nothing but indicate to me that you suffer from debilitating social anxiety.
>been waiting for diablo 4 to get good before i buy it>they abandon itLol lmao
>>747528539I could
>>747528739>OSRS isn't an mmo because ironman made exists which by definition means you don't need other players at
>>747499551>all the retards who spent hundreds/thousands on cosmetic D4 sloppathose retards that definitely don't include you get to experience the sensation of a rug being pulled out from beneath their feet as even their cosmetics are really just seasonal and slated to be disposed of.
>>747499390plz saar spend rupees on baal expansion only 49.99 + tax + tip + battle pass we tell u diablo win now
>2029Alright. I mean what do you even talk about from here on
>>747529845we could discuss the interesting marketing strategy of killing your existing live service game 2 years in advance for no real reason. whales will keep paying but no new players will come within a mile of D4 or its cash shop with a fixed expiration date ticking closer.
>>747529845>no more D4 expansions even though the story isn't finished and Diablo never appeared >next game isn't out for three yearsLegitimately what the FUCK were they thinking?
>>747498842They gave up on Diablo 4
>>747530114>we could discuss the interesting marketing strategy of killing your existing live service game 2 years in advanceI'm okay with this. Studios were trying to chase Fortnite's 10 year plan and no one can pull it off.
>>747530117>>what the FUCK were they thinking?>I bet vapid normie retards will give us 500 gorillion dollars if we just pump out another shitty diablo game with a hundred dollar collectors edition, paid DLC, battlepass, convenience microtransactions, and full priced expansions.
>>747530223I think it's more than that. Diablo 4 is bad now that it's basically been turned into 3 but still far from unfixable. I think this has to be Microsoft wanting to restrict the platforms that Diablo is on.
Did they basically reboot the entire company or something
>>747530458this will only work so many times, I doubt there is a single fan of the franchise that is happy with this announcement
>>747530652>I doubt there is a single fan of the franchise that is happy with this announcementI would bet on it selling extremely well.
>>747530743Maybe it will, but they lost a lot of good will with how they handled D4 and now dropping it for this. There was no reason for it either, they could have continued to build on D4 and sell expansions and cosmetics.
I'm looking at the concept art from the panel, and I don't see much difference from IV conceptually.IV is the same idea, that Sanctuary was already being overrun, what's the real difference here?
>>747530652>yfw d4 and diablo immortal were collectively an alpha for d5's new data-backed maximum monetization supremacy
The vendors travelling with you is a smart idea narratively. At least that's promising. Although I bet it mechanically ends up exactly like PoE2's desert caravan stuff in Act II, meaning clicking on a world map.
>>747523723Blizzcucks and gachafags are basically in the same tier don't get it twisted, gacha player
>>747530993Bro do you realize how much good will Blizzard pissed away at so many individual moments in the past? They have been and will continue to go unpunished. A few hundred people forsaking them on social media means nothing in the long run. You must forget how actually spineless gamers are.
>>747529002Could you really make a fool of yourself in front of a massive crowd
Oh nooo who fucking did thisD4's item grid was good and uniform now we gotta play fucking tetris again with items to appease D2 idiotsWhatever. I'm sure marketing-wise it's better than listening to me anyway.
>>747531330There will always be malcontents and I haven't looked, but I'm willing to bet not a single fan site, plebbit forum whatever is happy with this. Even the biggest goy is going to realize he's being jewed eventually. That's all I'm saying.
>>747531504>defending d4 while shitting on d2you're the reason this franchise got raped to death
>>747531504>amulet lower than one of the ringsholy shit that's bad
Will the good guys ever win?You mean all of Diablo 4 happened and they still lost
>>747531504I bet you there'll be an auto-sort on the inventory anyway
>>747531640We will never know because the story was never finished
>>747498842The troons which ruined Blizzard were thrown to the curb and they've been trying to salvage the damage done to the IPs since. For WoW, it involves the trio of expansions they're currently on. But for Diablo? They tried and tried again. Diablo 4 cannot be salvaged. They'd rather scrap it and start over.
>>747531571In the dev's minds, D4 WAS D2 to them, they had the internal ideas of a more gritty world after eveyone hated the visuals of Diablo 3-craft.Now we're back there again, we're back at like Diablo II-2 which is IV.5. How many times can we fall back on D2
>>747531504feel the weight loser
>>747510115Doesn't really count when they're only appearing in visions of the past, though.
There's no way they're not going to do one more mini expansion for IV that ties into V now right? What are they just gonna keep doing seasons in IV?
>>747508803D2 art style was peak. Its insane how they fucked it up so hard since.
>>747531774>Diablo 4 cannot be salvagedBut I have no faith Diablo 5 will save it
>>747531975
>>747505380>after the world has fallen into an apocalyptic settingThe world was already in a horrendous state in 4. Pretty much every little shanty shack outside of major cities is some destitute mud-farmer that gets instagibbed by an infinite horde of monsters. Big cities are full of poverty and crime while being constantly besieged by the monsters. Legit how could the world they live in be any worse?
>>747505380I mean how can they do this I don't think Diablo is ever going to lose at this rate
>>747506145IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>747531571The troons are the reason this franchise got raped to death. They were hired by Blizzard during the peak of the GG era and tried to force their politics into the game. When the actual devs stood up to them, they filed a bunch of fake accusations and the execs fired all the people who actually knew what they were doing. They ruined WoW. They ruined Overwatch. They ruined Diablo. They DESTROYED Heroes of the Storm. Only Starcraft escaped their greasy hands and that's because they probably didn't even know it existed. When Blizzard was bought by Microsoft, their first move was to fire all the troons and rehire people like Metzen to try and salvage things. WoW is being salvaged with the trio of expansions Metzen is working on. Their way to salvage Diablo is to declare D4 a total loss and move on to Diablo 5. I'm not sure Overwatch is salvageable.
>>747532050The work Metzen has been doing on WoW is proof that they might do it right. Problem is, PoE 2 is finally getting its full release in December. I think Diablo has a steep hill to climb if it wants to compete.
Lmao can guarantee poe2 will have massive endgame expansion with new mechanics and ascendancies and other shit for free as always within three weeks of d5 launch
>>747531016You think this has anything to do with engine, gameplay, story (lamo), content?This is about repackaging the existing product in a [NEW] [LIMITED EDITION] [PREORDER BONUSES] package. You cut out like 98% of the dev costs by re-using the existing engine, assets, gameplay.The classes will probably be a distinct mix of existing classes (or endgame variant builds ported into base classes) but won't have anything actually new.This is what micractibliz is now. After what they saw with wow classic they realize they can just sunset an existing game then re-release it five years later with 0 changes, farming hype and fomo and beating off inflation and bleeding subscribers with [NEW!] (it's what you played before!!!)
>>747532062did they say if they're going to have a male amazon like some weird fag?
I don't think 4 went well enough to bring in the hype for 5.Lord of Hatred and Vessel felt very thin. That's the level of writing quality we're walking into with 5?And then what about the concepts of combat? Are they saying by making 5 the arcadeyness of 3 and 4 aren't being carried over? Did they see that as a design failure when compared to PoE2 alongside both game's bosses?The whole presentation is very typical PR shit, and it's good they're just making a new game instead of milking IV for another 10 years.I bet to them internally, 5 is being treated as a reboot but there haven't been enough design considerations from IV built up to carry over to V to get everyone excited.Do you get what I mean /v/? What lessons from IV are going to be carried to V considering the quality of IV at times?
>>747532290>When Blizzard was bought by Microsoft, their first move was to fire all the troonsMeanwhile the same people who made D4 are making D5. Retard.
>>747532010Blizz north got cut up, all old guard got bullied out of the company. Troonies and pussy ass women got a hold of the story. And that's how you get female Diablo, nigger Tyrael and chud impotent rage Imperius (who should be the angel of Valor, a word women have no idea what it means).And Cain killed by a fucking butterfly.
>>747532290>When Blizzard was bought by Microsoft, their first move was to fire all the troonsDid they actually do this? It feels like it watching this whole Con.
>>747498842Can I play it on my phone? I hope it has a real money auction house.
>>747531016Because I guarantee the original plan was to try and salvage D4 and they finally admitted to themselves that they might as well just scrap it and start over. Too many contrived mechanics, itemization is too complex, legendary system sucks, overworld is horrible.Hey. At least they killed off the super progressive girlboss the troons had forced into the game.
>>747532458I don't agree. I think the company are in a reboot phase and are replanning all their stuff alongside this new Xbox push.online sentiment around IV was always bad, they feel the need to reset that.
>>747531504>meanwhile poe2
>>747532590The people who are working in D4 are making D5. Big difference.
>>747531504This is an actual inventory grid you uncultured swine, it makes much more sense and you can actually see a beautiful iconography. It looks like Blizzard actually came back to their senses and stopped with the zoomer slop.
>>747532584>That's the level of writing quality we're walking into with 5?I mean setting it 100 years later and killing everyone that happened before it is a good start.
>>747532646They did. MS was fucking PISSED when they realized what had been going on. Mcree needs to get his name back. Macaree needs to get its name back. Fuck what the troons did.
I can tell just from the teaser though that the writing team has changed.
>>747531774All the people that spoke from Overwatch to Diablo to Warcraft were fags or women, not even memeing. And you think Diablo 5 will be the answer?
Did Diablo even show up in 4?Why was it called Diablo?
>>747533114the last season, not even expansion, is going to end the story. my guess is diablo will spawn in activity areas and be like rawr i destroy the world, the end.
>>747532787If I was still in the year 2000 and had the amount of time I bled into D2 this would be absolute peak, but as a wageslave I just want to cry. The best shit I could find and craft was worth 10 div max before the giga inflation hit.
>>747533114>Did Diablo even show up in 4?No at least not yet>Why was it called Diablo?who knows
>>747533175cain will come back as a ghost and say "hey remember me? well I'm here to help you fight diablo all you gotta do is gather x resource so I can do some upgrade that's been done 100 times before but we're calling it something different this time"
>>747532846How the fuck is D2R items uglier than the original? Makes no fucking sense.
>>747532584It doesn't help that the two expansions were one expansion that was split into two and now they are abandoning the whole fucking thing to sell you it all over again. They had a chance to do Baal and Diablo expansions and make the game better before trying a D5.
>>747533182play standard league and play SSF whilst doing so the leagues are added to it if they go core if you dont have time
>>747533358>and make the game better before trying a D5that was the limits of it anyway. I'm glad they're not sitting there for another 20 years doing 3 more expansions for IV.
>game is in pre-production phaseThey needed to show off combat or something.
>>747533495So you're going to buy D5, which is made by the same cast of trannies and faggots and w*men, which will probably still use the same engine and assets?
>>747533562It's a head scratching decision for many reasons. Why announce this so far out, with nothing to show and basically kill your current live service game?
>>747531504this is an ai rendition of last epochs inventory. Some of those icons are directly lifted from it, as well as the rarity colors
>>747533719Because they want to kill it. I do not believe any of them want to keep working on D4.
I'm guessing that the Diablo team replaced whoever was making IV right after Vessel of Hatred, because they just killed off everyone almost out of spite for who wrote it all originally.
>>747533182You don't have to sink in as much time or "catch up" to inflation like you think. Crafting is insanely easy in PoE2. It's more of a knowledge wall than time wall. Just play SSF if you feel FOMO about the economy.
>>747532606What gets me is the artstyle in D2 isnt that difficult to do, just uses alot of bold colors and classic designs.Paladin is a walking mirror with simple gold accents. Barb is just a big muscular white dude and some simple facial art. Sorc just looks like gypsy in green dress with some nice jewelery.DESU alot of games from those days did this kind of thing way better. They were "dark" and "grim" but had alot of color and character to them. They used alot of classic architecture in their settings but it all looks so engaging.Why the fuck cant we get modern games with this stuff?
>>747533823And yet there the mother fuckers were on the stage for the announcement.
>>747529753not even getting an expansion though
>>747531504D4 inventory looks like a fucking excel sheet. Soulless trash just like the rest of the game.
>>747535085they learned it from d3 inventory
>>747509117>from BlockbusterBack the fuck up, since when did BB have fuckin PC games?>those acts just suckYou just sound like the lil bitch that couldn't handle their difficulty. Or the town bitch that complained in multiplayer rooms while waiting for the sorc to find the boss rooms instead of playing the fucking game.
