They're playing it super-safe and are just literally remaking D2

So basically they're giving the people what they wanted and upgrading it after the debacle that was D3 and you're complaining.

They already turned the clusterfuck of a shitfest that was Diablo 3 at release into a somewhat acceptable Diablo 2.1 via all the patches and RoS. They already gave people what "they" wanted.

Diablo 4 could have used a HUGE coat of fresh paint. It is embarrassing for Blizztard how much better and more diverse a game like Grim Dawn is.

You are comparing a game that has been out for over three years with a pre-pre-pre etc Alpha demo made for Blizzcon? Good job man.

You, and I, have no f*cking clue what Diablo 4 will be like at launch, and furthermore what it'll be like after the first expansion. This is a key point, because vanilla D2 was awful, and so was vanilla D3 - both were fixed in their respective expansions after post-expansion patches. Furthermore, I can't think of one game in this genre that was actually in the realm of "amazing" when it launched. I will say this, based on Blizzards previous history with D2 and D3, vanilla D4 probably won't be anything amazeballs and will likely need work. As is tradition in the Diablo franchise since the VERY BEGINNING.

Face palming at all the absolute nonsense, non constructive, criticism.

This was not the Terminal Velocity I was hoping for.

Pfft, this was already free on Steam.

I had the choice between Plague Tale and 3 Boredoms, I thankfully picked Plage Tale. An mindblowingly awesome experience. Not so much a great game as it is a great immersive experience.

As long as you only play on english voices....

Also as secret Skaven fan this game really speaks to me

Just started playing Stellaris again after a long break, liking the new 2.2 update and always like to add the Story Packs to have more content to explore. Will add this DLC when it comes out.

All this live services shit, I'll buy in two years when it maybe finally looks like an actual game.

That is exactly the way to go. I'm not even advocating full boycotts but anyone who is against GaaS and who wants to send publishers a message needs to vote with their wallets by buying bundled (GOTY/Gold/Definitive/whatever) or at least substantially more complete versions of a game.

It's the only power we have to let them know that it's not cool to release what is effectively a beta that can be continuously tinkered with as they please for many months or years even.

Yet another thing added to my “I’ll never actually install or play/use this” section of steam.

I do wish I had the time to make a game, even in a simplified system like this. Maybe this little engine will let me easily prototype the idea I have to see if it’s trash. The description seems to imply it has some sort of multiplayer capacity, I’d be interested to see if that meant network functionality.

How different a story it would have been had No Man's Sky shipped in this state.

50 million could also = 5 million with an average of 10 accounts each, and etc. I'm always leery when companies start finding large, completely unverifiable numbers to insert into their marketing spiels. Especially for games which cost *nothing* initially to play! It often is an indicator of desperation as opposed to a trumpeting of success...;) But Free-to-play internally monetized ga--er, rip-offs, are not my cup of tea, fortunately!

Please explain why anybody would need more than one account in Apex. Don't you think it would be noticed in the quarterly financials if these companies inflate the player numbers? Also with a bit of tech know-how, you can get a list of apex servers currently spun up so the numbers can be verified to a degree.

I dunno, I think Walt might be underestimating. I personally have 17 Apex accounts, and I don't even play that much.

In other words if you like hamster wheel looter shooters you'll like it. If you don't you won't.

Typically yes in this case, this is different.

For example, a lot of the issues/reviews one will read now are more starter gameplay reviews. This game has a whole different thing going on later on that I don't think I've ever seen happen in an online game that has been released by a major publisher.

My #1 dislike for Destiny is your numbers are so tightly controlled that it bores me beyond playing the content. There will never be a fun drop where you feel a lot different after.

Anthem omg, I giggle inside, they right now have the game where it has no bastion of control here. At the same end game level you can have someone doing 50x more damage than another based on a good drop. Or another will 50x more health than another. You can have people yelling at others because they suck and well no one knows what drops the other has or not and their gameplay reflects that and it couldn't be a wider spread.

The difficulty levels go up so sharply to and if you are a have not, you can be one shotted or can't do damage. They are finding out the powers aren't scaling well and then it becomes a game of gun drop luck. People state only a Colossus right now can really power through because of their health and defense. They say an Interceptor can't play their melee role because they do exactly zero damage in that role , kick, punch, twirl, punch = ZERO and they have to revert to gun play and hope they have a good gun.

Think of any online game and if there was a player doing 50 damage per hit and another doing 2500 per while the poor guy has 1000 HP and the other 10000 HP... this can happen here, not those exact numbers but that kind of spread, unprecedented!

This stuff probably won't be found in reviews but are the comments for players out there finding out. Then there are still a shit ton of inscriptions not working or sometimes do and sometimes don't, some on certain javelins, others javelines not.

I know it's the game

The GAME? Which game? Where is it? They promised TWO games now - but there is not even one right now.

How long? 3 more years? 5 more years? 10 more years? When will they actually release at least one of the two promised games?

I know it's hard to accept that you lost money by believing a snake oil salesman, but it's better to accept it and walk away then to stand with him in front of the people, defending him and his magical snake oil. Good luck with that!
