By s y Go To PostLooks like Chris Avellone got done dirty by those allegations a few years ago. He got it dismissed with prejudice, a statement retracting the allegations and a 7 figure payout settlement.Fallout New Vegas team would never
Is Diablo considered to be a MMO? I guess I'm asking why is it online only, why are there queues or no offline mode?

Wouldn't say it's an MMO but it's 100% designed around online play, it's not just some naff DRM. Shared overworld with world bosses and events, social hubs etc. Like Destiny, I guess.
By s y Go To PostIs Diablo considered to be a MMO? I guess I'm asking why is it online only, why are there queues or no offline mode?The prior ones were not really mmo's. D4 is definitely an mmo, though. e: like Destiny in the above post
D1 was largely single player with a multiplayer component that caught fire.
D2 was about evenly split multi/single player but still allowed for offline play.
I don't remember if D3 allowed for offline play because of Battle.Net, but maybe it did on console? Regardless, you still joined rooms like the previous games, so still not an mmo.
Hit level 20 in the Diablo beta
Got a rogue set-up that is great at crowd control but pretty shit at taking down the big lads. Basically poison trap, caltrops, dash back in and flurry. Not sure how much you're supposed to split your skills between bow and daggers, or if it's better to put everything you can into one of them.

Flurry is also great with the synergies.

Phone game is mmo style too
I was doing the D4 world boss last night, so people between lvl 21-25 start showing up, emoting "hi" and the like while we wait for the boss to spawn, then this lvl 11 player shows up... and just stands there for a minute. Then writes in chat: "Diablo 4 is too effing woke now!"
And then I assumed they logged off. Poof, gone.
Incredible.

I got bored pretty quickly with Diarblo 5 beta but probably because i didn't really care for playing something that i will have to play again in a few months.
By DiPro Go To PostThe skip dialogue button is amazing though. Every game needs this.Been in the Diablo series since day 1. 🤷
The only heroin looter I've bothered with was WoW and I've annoyed everybody by just strictly pvping lmao
Never again. I'm a peacock gamer you gotta let me fly🦚

Currently watching a lot of Diablo lore videos just so I understand what's going on and who any of these people are.
The game just commits loot at you which I'm not sure I am a fan of.

The legendary drop rate is artificially higher for the beta.
BF2042 graphics are good. DICE/Frostbite probably has the best hair strand implementation. It looks incredible in FIFA and BF2042. Should look good in Dragon Age.
To bad I didn't get to fight the World Boss in the beta, when I woke up on Sunday there was no more spawntime which sucked.
Pro's:
- Graphics look great, needs some optimising but overall very solid
- Combat feels snappy, meaty (except Druid, slow ass fat guy)
- Music & Atmosphere 10/10 (for Act 1)
- I like the open world aspefct (like Lost Ark)
Cons:
- Skilltree seems pretty basic which is fine, but only 6 active skills is a joke
- Balance needs a lot of tuning (Druid is dogshit, Barb needs a hell of a lot of gear to be even viable) Necro/Sorc are great but they'll probably get nerfed a bunch
- UI is bad, seems lifted straight from Immortal
- Give me a zoom out option. It's 2023 and I'm zoomed in the same way as in Diablo 2
- Dungeon repetitiveness is a given for an ARPG sure but the runback mechanics suck. (Find 3 boxes/stones/levers and bring them back) Or atleast give people the ability to pick up multiple objects at once.
- Get rid of the progress bar when interacting with something.
- Even though I like the open world, there's only like 4 events which spawn and sometimes you get the same event time after time
7/10 so far with a Necro or Sorc (didn't play Rogue) but lot's for improvement.
Will hold onto my preorder for the moment.

7/10 is exactly what I would give the beta. Played all classes; Sorc, Necro, Rogue to 25, Druid and Barb 18 and 14. Would probably rank them in that order.
It needs a lot of fine-tuning, but I think melee classes are fucked either way. Shit mobility and hostile enemy mechanics make them so tedious to play. They probably will scale well damage wise, but will it matter for endgame?
My favorite bug from the beta (hoping it's a bug anyway) is that Teleport's range is determined by the cursor position, so if you play in an ultrawide resolution you could teleport beyond visible obstacles that would've blocked you on a 16:9 screen. Not the first game to do it, but it's always funny.

Diablo is what I expected refresh of the previous games, not sure if i'm a fan of the skill tree it seems expanded but without increased slots it just seems kind of annoying more than anything. Biggest issue is the dungeons so far are painful, not sure if it's just for the beta or what but the signs of lazyness are worrisome, same two dungeon designs copy and pasted which is only made worse by how lazy the designs are with the grab two objects on complete opposite sites one at a time then kill everything (with increased health on every mob). Not sure how other beta versions have been for the previous game but there's certainly room for improvement
By inky Go To PostIt needs a lot of fine-tuning, but I think melee classes are fucked either way. Shit mobility and hostile enemy mechanics make them so tedious to play. They probably will scale well damage wise, but will it matter for endgame?Yeah, melee desperately needs some escape mechanics or CC resistance.
I played the stronghold boss with my sorc and I only had to use one potion because you hade multiple shielding options.
With melee you just get Frozen all the time without even getting a hit in.
By Laboured Go To PostFFS I thought TLOU1 was Friday, not tomorrow. That's too many video games.but you already played this game on the ps3
and you're playing goatmake 4 already
stop
By Laboured Go To PostFFS I thought TLOU1 was Friday, not tomorrow. That's too many video games.
the real release is 3 months from now when the devs patch it enough that the port isn't 100% shit.
By Diego! Go To Post3DS and WiiU eshops are shutting down today - RIPI finished up Crystal this month. Was disappointed to learn that one of my faves Scizor is pretty useless
...while the titular Suicune is indispensable in the last dragon fight. I actually had to grind the elite 4 to beat this game. I did three gyms out of the intended order. I haven't even gone back to Kanto on the SS Anne and I'm satisfied as a video game player. Why does Pokémon suck so hard now?
E3 is ded yet all these companies still make their announcements on my birthday. Can they not fuck off to July instead?

Will probably wait for a sale - might get RE4 to see what all the hype is about.
Like all REs it will probably be good in the first half and run out of ideas and fall off a cliff in the second.
They're really not streaming Zelda live? They're just gonna dump the whole video on YT?
