    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Listen, I realize this forum is built on people doubling down and throwing shit at each other but I know you are smart enough to recognize sarcasm and the irony of you calling people in this thread too stupid to adapt, recognize and comprehend how "corporations change" while defending a company...

    Nope. You might eventually get annoyed with me for telling you nope. But... nope. The story is worth following. It's not mind blowing, but it's good. And it's well written.

    Right, in the books there is a very clear and defined motivation to find the truth of "why are these people, condemned to death, still performing their duty to clean?". In the show its, very, very glossed over. And I think it's because they want to pace the show a bit faster to get to Juliettes...

    Right, after the first book. They showed it in the second episode. It's not really a Spoiler though and I think it works better to have that short glimpse that early since it doesn't give all that much away on TV.

    So you're argument is that Blizzard is adapting, recognizing... and comprehending how to make good games. Got it. Carry on.

    Drops of God

    So nobody is talking about this at all, which seems to be a trend with much of Apples library. I'm on episode 4 now and this is pretty good. It's a little strange because it's in Japanese, French and English (all three languages are used frequently) and the English is a little wooden. I would...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I'm not sure why you thought to defend this game with some strange tenured employee comparison. It was ridiculous, because I myself have been with my company for 15 years AND if I left, this company would be looking to replace me with someone else who has similar experience and expertise...

    And to all the "That's ARPG!! HAVE YOU EVER ARPG!!" type responses. I see almost every decent review here and elsewhere talking about the campaign, and at best lukewarm responses about the end game loop. The grind... you know... the most defining aspect of the entire genre. Farming for that...

    This is exactly the type of fanboi apologist response that used to get laughed at here. Now it's the norm.

    Bounties in D3 are different than what you're thinking of. You're thinking of Adventure mode. Bounties were a garbage system required to get crafting materials that were pretty much universally maligned because they were mundane, tedious, and annoying.

    This is probably going to be a show you'd rather binge than watch as it airs if you're impatient for big reveals. The story unfolds slowly in the books and the show seems to be pacing itself similarly.

    This show is criminally underrated. Start watching it so it doesn't get cancelled

    Tetris (2023)

    The movie definitely feels like "The story of Tetris is mildly fascinating, video games are super hot and mainstream now... let's spice this up and tell a story that is barely based in fact" It probably would have been better if the story was told from the inventor's perspective instead.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I'm not sure players actually like procedurally generated areas anyway... it sucked shit in D3 if trying to push, and in every ARPG ever made players tend to gravitate to either static spawns/areas or areas with smaller tile sets and fewer random outcomes (Travincal/Chaos Sanc/Pindleskin...

    This is my take on this as well. Pretty much exactly. The car chase at the end was also very.... huh?

    I will never understand developers fascination with making it tedious or difficult to change your spec or skill load out. Especially in ARPGs where there are multitudes of options and a high desire to experiment for much of the player base. This is why ARPGs turn into "meta" fests with people...

    Well less that's its the franchise with the best ARPG feel and more that it's the original. Even the people in here complaining want it to be good because of that. A return to glory. I've played most ARPGs, for my money Grim Dawn has the best ARPG "feel". It just doesn't have a true...

    This is a phenomenon particularly prevalent in gaming. People who would scoff at paying $10 to park in a grass field near a venue and would rather walk 2 miles because they don't like the idea of some guy with a big property trying to profit off of them. $70+ for a ticket into said venue but $10...

    A fresh game to play and explore and experience is always the most fun. Being in on a popular launch is a great experience as long as the game is playable. Blizzard knows this... all gaming companies do in fact. So they gave people who spend a significant amount more a very big head start. And...

    Sounds like you fell for the Blizzard marketing and hype (like most people) and think choosing to not buy this game is almost like self harm... You actually sound like you are trying to save him from himself simply because he didn't buy D4

    Well, all the Hashira are gonna be badass, that's why they're Hashira. The Flame Hashira was a badass too, even though he died. And so was the Sound Hashira. And this Love Hashira, or whatever she is, seems like a true psycho.

    Are you dumb? You have to be completely unreasonable in one direction or the other as a gamer. Sarcasm aside your post is logical, and game reviews, anticipation, and just being reasonable about what you're actually experiencing within a game world hasn't been logical, or reasonable in a while...

    The books are very, very heavy on character development and subplots that detail the human condition. But all of them move the main plot along, none of them are truly side stories. Which is probably why I enjoyed the series so much. There wasn't any wasted page space or "fluff". We'll see how...

    As someone who read the books, they are actually escalating the pace of the story quite a bit. The books were a VERY slow burn, and you are very wrong about anything happening within 4 pages in the books. The story is very good though and only starts to feel rushed toward the middle of the...

    I always wonder about people who have never found a streamer that just plays the game and interacts with chat about the game, it's systems, how skills work, and just spreads the knowledge they have. But yea, everything is herp, derp. Or something
