>game is so disliked they abandon it>make Diablo 5 instead of trying to fix 4LMAOOOO
probably more to do with Asha wanting full XBOX exclusivity on titles and with Diablo IV being on Piss 5 why continue to develop for it
>>747500074I can't believe they wasted such a sexy demon milf
>>747500074>game called Diablo>Diablo isn’t even in itowari da, Kojima-san, you win again…
>>747501115But Diablo is coming in the new season ;^)
>>747500074So no new season on monday?
>>747500568That would be dumb when it is on pc. Throwing money away.
That's the problem with these live service mega-gaymes. You have to launch early with a bunch of seasonal content and constantly focus on addicting players rather than just make a game the devs are passionate about.
>>747500074Maybe Diablo just isn't as much a heavy hitter as it once was.
>>747500775>I can't believe they wasted such a sexy demon milfIsn't their progeny literally just parts of her body reconstructed into humans with magic?As far as I'm aware her womb is still virgin.
and both game share same devs, which will lead them to share the same fate
POE2 won, it’s over
>>747502868How are sword wands ?
>>747502081I'm probably wrong but I feel like if you want to play PARTICLESPAM MAPCLEARINGSIM there are so many better options, and Diablo should try to go back to 2 which was a lot slower than ARPGs these days>BBBBUT d2 is just as badIt isnt
D4 is the first Diablo game where you don't get to fight Diablo himself
>zoomers only know over a decade running forever games and 7 years dev time slop that they get scared and confused at a 3 year old game getting a sequel announced that won't even be out for another 3 years
>>747501687PC is Microsoft, Anon. The entire point is to get away from Sony and Nintendo.
>>747500074blizzdrones will buy it anyway
they should unironically do like AoE2 and just add new content to Diablo 2 forever
>>747500074>D4 actually bad after all
>>747500074>made most money on people buying base game on release>no one buys dlc because d4 bad>lets just make d5 guys>profit
>>747500074Never played any diablo after 2, why is diablo 4 so bad? Didn't it have a proper dark atmosphere instead of the glitter and rainbows diablo 3 had?
>>747505426Yes. It's fine. Just schizos who hate games.
>>747500074REtards will buy it despite knowing Blizzard can't make good games anymore
>>747500074I tried to play this earlier this year. i went through the story but the game just fucking kicks you out of the server at the end of the month or whatever (season) and then you either start again or play on the non active server.its fucking retarded.Who came up with this shit.Also the game just becomes a shitty spamfest eventually. You just spam and nuke enemies, its boring.
Do you guys not have computers?
>>747500074>>>make Diablo 5 instead of trying to fix 4based
>>747500074was considering getting it on sale for $12 but whats the point now
>>747507298>Do you guys not have computers?Ram prices and Agenda 2030 has entered the chat.
>>747505426they made it a pseudo-mmoskill trees are laughably badclasses are boringgarbage korean mmo-tier cash shop cosmetics out of the ass that cost a fortune
>>747505426/v/ doesn't play videogames
>>7475054261) it's not D2LOD2) it's okay not genre defining (unlike D2LOD)3)It's just not D2LOD
i recently got it on sale, never played it before and haven't really heard much about the game other than "it's bad." So far it's mostly bad in my experience. I'm just rushing to finish the main story at this point since 90% of the content in the game is pointless padding. the open world and scattered dungeons are bad and theres no reason to engage in any of it. i think the classes and skill trees are more interesting than diablo 3. I'm not at the endgame grinds or expansion content yet so Idk if any of it will redeem itself but so far it's a very high budget mediocre arpg. i think overall it's a step up from diablo 3 but 4 doesn't feel like it made enough steps in the right direction to make it an interesting arpg. the darker artstyle is great along with the classes I've played so far but overall it's just kind of boring to play. It feels very similar to diablo 3 still with just how it plays in combat and encounters. But maybe that's just a problem that all arpgs suffer from.
>bought D3 near release>it's shit>received improvements years later>enjoy it for months>bought D4 near release>it's shit>"meh, I'll just wait a year or two until they make it fun gain">they announce D5 instead
>>747500074I just dont see why would anyone play this when PoE exists
So did they learn from making 4 an open world meme that nobody gave a shit about?
>>747500074They really have just given up on D4...Literally spoiled what happens before to sanctuary before anyone even got to experience it in-gameI feel like human garbage bros...
>>747505426I only played launch but it tried really hard to be a pseudo MMO but it was probably the most dead online game I played player interaction wiseIt's not entirely awful, but if you're at all experienced at arpgs (slop) you can blow through the content in a few days
>>747505426>Why is D4 so badI have actually played D4 quite a bit.>Story was fucking horrible, basically nothing happens the entire game until the last hour. D3's campaign viciously mogs D4's which should tell you just how bad it is>Loot system was horrible until a year after release, gear had annoying conditional damage modifiers colloquially known as "damage on a Tuesday">Released with no content but Nightmare Dungeons, which are just the blandest possible version of a dungeon>It had pretty good combat on release, but PoE 2 robbed even that accolade from it a few months later>Vessel of Hatred releases>Comically overpowered new class>Horrible story, even worse than before>Blizzard IMMEDIATELY abandons VoH with slop filler season with reskinned mechanics (open inventory -> pick passive damage proc -> that's it)>Seriously, VoH is one of the few games that I think was actually scam tier>LoH releases and is good, rips off a discount version of PoE's Atlas Passive tree (customizable content) and reworks loot again>Everything looking up for D4, finally the game is fun, I know a number of people who finally got into D4 because of LoH and said they had a great time>...then Blizzard releases another slop filler season immediately>We find out today that they're rushing into D5 so they ditched LoH as an abandonware cashgrab just like VoH despite LoH finally being the 'real' launch of the gametldrBlizzard released a bad boring content-dry ARPG, made it playably bad 344 days after launch, released a literal scam first expansion that fixed nothing and was abandoned immediately, then when they finally released a great second expansion and saved the game, they gave a middle finger to their remaining players and ran away with the bag.
>>747500074>fix 4There is no fixing it. The game was forever labeled a failure after the first month of its life (despite people dumping 100+ hours into it btw).
>>747502453Makes her even hotter man
Gotta love how the story in 4 was so shit that the only sensible character in it was the villain.
>>747500074why would i be hyped for this and not diablo 6 in 2033
heres your lore writer
I wonder if they will have devs that actually play games and know how to hold a controller work on it this time.
>>747505426They abandoned the usual classes, the abandoned the usual skill system, they "reimagined" the land, added fucking horse back riding, there is NO Diablo at all. It's a generic fantasy RPG hack n slash with a Diablo label slapped on it.
>>747516916>It's a generic fantasy RPG hack n slashI take offense to that. It was much worse than that.
i liked 4 quite a bit and am sad to see it dropped so unceremoniously with a "oh btw diablo won offscreen" twist
>>747516646When women gain weight the fat should only go to their tits. It is sad that it doesn't work that way.
>>747511509You still have a couple of years to play it :)
>>747516646This unironically looks like someone who know what they are doing though, just a fat old ugly grandma, not some perfomative blue haired pierced golem.
>2029 at the very earliestThat's still a long time. Some of you won't be alive then ;__;
>>747500074op.....are you a retard? D4 got 2 expac so far (if 5 is in 30 they will have more) also explicitly called out as being responsible for blizzard profit growth. You might be brown, a massive retard, or more likely, both.
>>747511513Normies like me. PoE is too weird, too autistic. Grim Yawn is boring.
>>747505426The best way to explain it is like this:Diablo 1 and 2, the game IS the campaign. While Diablo 2 has a pseudo-end game with farming bosses and going for ubers, it is primarily about the campaign.Diablo 3 and Diablo 4 introduced campaigns that are mindless, brainless, and are mostly there to serve as background dressing to level up your first character to get to end game, where most of the focus is. It becomes an MMO-ish game after you complete the campaign, including the ability to skip it on all future characters. The campaigns themselves feel like after thoughts with characters that come and go and plots that are best described as "Dang it, we JUST missed them!" for the entire runtime until you fight a boss. The end games themselves are pathetic because Blizzard has no idea what they're doing. They simply add a new progression system and then you level that progression system. They think that "end game" means adding 5 different farms for 5 different axes of progression. That is it.It is not like, say, PoE where on a normal character you play what you want and then trade for what you don't wanna do. It is instead more like a checkbox of doing what you need. In addition, the game is incredibly easy and shits out XP and loot to the point that you're doing the pure end game farms in less than 1 day of play time.
>NOOOOOOOOO I have to fight Diablo or I'll....I'll.....shit myself and cry online! How dare a shallow arpg game that gamerdads pretend is super deep expand its mythology with Diablo's siblings!!! AAHHHH I'm losing my mind, this isn't fair!
The best part? diablo5 will be the same shit as 4 if not worse
>>747517680it's hamburger helper, the dragon age writerthey do not, in fact, know what they are doing
>>747520084Oh
>>747518093this
>>747500074>people caring about Diablo when the best dungeon crawl ARPG has existed for ten years
>Grim Yawn lol, lmao
>been waiting years to play Diablo IV again because I wanted an expansion where I can fight Diablo>not only is he not in it, they've moved onto V nowblizzard what the fuck, just let us fight the lord of terror that's what we want
>>747505426You know stuff like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, the Champions of Norrath games? After winding shit back from how casualized D3 was but still not really being sure what they wanted to make, it's more in that category but pseudo-MMO now. And most here will argue that those were still better games than this.
>>747510972This
>>747522314>weschizo
>>747500074Look, I may be a filthy casual and I'm on my first playthrough of the campaign but I'm having a lot of fun playing my barb. So sue me.
>>747522531>Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, Champions of Norrath>like Diablo 4Lol you have no idea what you are talking about, or you haven't played those games in a very long time. Diablo 3 is way more un-casual than those.
>>747500775>sexybro she got downgraded as hell from the original art.
>it's not D2ok so go play that>but it's not D2that game is still there and you can play it>but still, it's not D2........./v/ in a nutshell
>>747518032I'll tell you this as a D4 alpha player, I won't be buying another D4 expansion if they do release them and I'm sure I won't be alone. This is a complete betrayal.
>>747500074>poe 2 1.0 broke them so much they decided to scrap the next expansion and hastily release a trailer for a diablo 5is there a company more cucked than blizzard?
>>747505426They made it into a live service, kinda like a lobby game or pseudo mmo, you can probably guess the rest. And i know D3 had already raped the lore but i personally hate how they made Inarius and Lilith evil (and retarded) for no reason.
>>747523740Also all the haters complain about shit like too much loot/money, now they have horses and can move to fast.basically bitching about faster travelling and less grinding, things people bitch about all the time in gamesthey will never be happy
>>747523740why be a disingenuous blizzard cock slurper?what do you get out of being like this?
>>747523740Strawman argument. We wanted a game that played like D2, and D1 for that matter, because those are some of the best games ever made. D4 was on the right track, then they turned it into D3.5. There's no reason to think D5 will be any different, these people have no idea what they're doing and are just tinkering with the creations of their betters.
>>747523941quit replying to yourself
>no D1 remake>no D2 expansion, leaks were wrong, "we have more to announce at blizzcon" was wrong>D4 dead in the water>D5 fucking 2029>Starcraft 2030>Warcraft 3 Re-Reforged exists solely to shill undead paladins...>... for the absolutely underwhelming Classic+ with 30$+ blue elves (private servers died for this)I had minimal expectations and I'm still mad.
>>747523904You are such a retard, you have to stop posting. D4 was fixing the raped lore from D3. Lilith is a fucking demon, the daughter of Mephisto and Inarius abandoning Heaven has been canon since D2. Stop posting, retard.
>>747523954>D4 was on the right trackNo, it never was, even in early development they showed they never had a good idea what to do with that game.
>>747524279We need more D3 expansions, its the best one
>>747501687It still will make a ton of money at launch just because it has “Diablo” in the name.
>>747520084Wow, she really let herself go.
>>747520084holy shit, she swelled up to a hamplanet then took ozempic. what a truly grim sight.
>>747505426This might surprise you, but there's more to making a good game than getting the graphics right. I mostly hated D4 for it's incredibly bad plot and it's lack of balance for 3 player parties. It was so piss easy the whole game, even after getting multiple levels of torment difficulty unlocked.
>>747524432In early development it looked like D2 with modern graphics. You are a retard who doesn't know what MMO means. You seriously have to stop posting.
>>747525168No it didn't, the fuck did you even get anything about MMO anyway, I said nothing of the sort.They had no fucking clue about anything. They tried to give D4 this whole tryhard grimdark aesthetic as a kneejerk reaction to people calling D3 too colorful, and that's not how D2 looked, they just removed all the color and contrast from D4.During development they were juggling a million ideas like stats affecting skills, angelic/demonic/ancestral stats on items activating effects, trying to balance items to make blues and rares viable, and in the end nothing made it through. Game was a legendary items fiesta just like D3. The most telling moment for me was when they showed wip skill tree graphics where it was a literal demonic burning tree, roots and all. They had no fucking clue, base D4 was terrible, and later patches and expansions only made it more into D3. Fucking idiot.
>>747525946Did you even play the game, you fucking retard? You have no idea what you're talking about.
>>747500074He won
>>747502081D4 is probably well past 2 billion revenue in 3 years. If it was such a failure, there wouldn’t be a D5.Honestly, D4 seems to have been plagued with tech limitations from the start (like stash space) so it might be for the best
>>747528240>tech limitations>stash space
>>747528328Yes, its pretty well documented but i’m not arguing with a retard, you’ll have to solve it yourself. Bless you.
