JFL How is diablo 4 so bad?

[Gutless]

Not to mention that the Gameplay of this game looks boring as hell... boring looking abilities, boring gear, boring story, so few classes to choose from, mounts for some reason (oh yeah so blizz could monetize that). And of course theres the other insanely implemented monetization strategies blizz added for skins, more battlepass bullshit, etc. How could anyone play this? Game is literally designed from the core up to siphon money from you. Other than graphics it doesnt even seem like an upgrade from D3. The gameplay itself is shit literally so many abilities look like youre flinging actual feces at the enemy its all just brown / red color palettes unless you play wizard.

I feel sorry for the people that just wanted improved D3 in its prime this game is not what youre looking for. How did it take 9,000 people to make this?

Too much casual friendly mechanics. Diablo 2 have lower drop rate, more complex ability tree and character build.

improved D3 in its prime

We’ve been wanting improved d2 or even d1 since d2

Agree though d 4 is terrible.

Never played a single Diablo. Never will. Any game that requires you to have an active connection to the internet even for its single-player campaign can suck its own dick.

And if you actually dig a little deeper, you’d notice that almost all gaming franchises that have gone to shit (e.g. CoD, FIFA) have this in common as well.

Play Baldurs Gate instead

Because Blizzard is yet another company that became solely driven by greedy businesspersons who don't even know what a game is and treat them as quick investment opportunities (pump & dump).

Diablo 4 has item bloat to make you stare in your inventory longer. Ties into:

because they want to track your playtime. More "player engagement" is a big metric to investors for some reason. If you play offline they dont know your play hours

Play Baldurs Gate instead

Yes

When you loaded up Diablo 1 & 2 you knew that you were in for a rough time fighting demons in poorly lit dungeons with ambience of a horror movie. All of this is gone now in the newer Diablos.
Lastly , they have micro-transactions in Diablo 4.

Gotta let the babies feel like they are on a powertrip slaying hordes of baddy demons that are nothing but damages sponges to click on.

Not the only reason. Modern games can track your playtime by just uploading some of the files of your saves to their database.

Bethesda’s been doing it for over a decade. Todd himself told Fridman in an interview that they can even tell which locations the players have explored the most in their single-player titles, since it can all be revealed through your save files and it just takes one quick access to the internet as opposed to being constantly connected.

Trophies and achievements also help them track playtime. Revealing what percentage of the playerbase has completed a game and if 100%ing a game requires, let’s say 50 hours of playtime, then that means X% have spent at least THAT amount of time in their game.

Having your single-player game demand that you be online 24/7 is a different story. Every shitty game in the industry does it. Not to mention that most AAA titles are being shipped as a live-service always online package with how fucked up the game is if you refuse to install the day 1 patch.

I haven't played it yet but i am looking forward to it once i 100% witcher 3. Looks awesome

 

[Balding Subhuman]

I still just play diablo 2

 

[Garbage Life]

Because everything is shit now. Play Halls of Torment instead

 

[sultryloser]

I play old video games, because they are games and impressive art.
Today's games are set up to milk zoomer wagies of their money.
I am guilty about wasting money on TF2 crates. Sorry not sorry new-age casinos are lonely but fun.
