LadyCrimson Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Diablo4? *watches videos* ... well, it looks like more D3, except maybe less "cartoon" palettes in some sections (good), enhanced dungeon designs (could be good), and you can ride a horse (snore). Only based on the trailers, ofc. If it's online only in the sense that it's just must-be-connected to 'net to play (last I knew D3 was like this already) or like the old Closed Bnet where you could play solo online games that doesn't bother me - if it's can't play by yourself at all that's a hard no. I also might pass it simply for the reason I don't feel like dealing with Blizzard account again at the moment. If a console version removes/doesn't have online only/Blizz account (like D3/console), than I guess I could try it on the PS4 one day, unless release isn't until and is only for PS5 - then I might pass on it there too. Edit: oops I missed someone's earlier post that console will still have online-only req. So ... hm. I don't know. Maybe when it's on deep sale one day. That all said, I do like it a tad better appearance wise than D3. And they still make good looking trailers, even if I stopped caring about any story/world/chr elements ages ago.

Lexx Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Don't think this is online related. The game simply doesn't start - crashes the whole launcher. Tried lots of stuff but then gave up on it. Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue. Tensed to see how R* reacts to this, because in my experience, they treat their playerbase like garbage and don't give a damn. Have to say if I hadn't played the game on PS4 already, I'd be seriously pissed now.

That, because re-speccing was so easy, your character didn't really feel yours. You could just open the character screen and re-assign the skills. In a way it made for more variable skills and you had to plan ahead and think about what to use... reality is, that it felt pretty dumb. At the end of the day I thought D3 was very predictable and very boring, Felt like the whole gameplay was centered around the stupid marketplace too. Apparently that's patched nowadays, but it burned me out, like, completely. Now hearing that D4 will probably be even more dumbed down... no thanks. The monster slaying alone just doesn't cut it for me. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Zoraptor Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Definitely if you have gamepass, which is fair enough since it's a subscription and they have to be able to stop you playing when your sub runs out. 35 minutes ago, Gfted1 said: Poster: RDR2 crashes at launch. Poster 2: That's online gaming for you. Poster 3: Even offline games do the same thing. Might be fairer to say that's games tied to launchers for you. The number of complaints when HL2 launched and Steam soiled the bed were a sight to behold. The only crashes I've had with TOW were related to the xbox pc app- which is by far the worst launcher I've ever used- throwing a fit and refusing to load any saves then crashing the game. At least it was easily fixed by restarting. I also love how it randomly decides I need to sync my saves in the middle of the game, complete with pop up in the middle of the screen telling me that's what it's doing. The game itself is rock steady apart from some very occasional slow downs but the app is the 100% typical MS 2000+ era half arsed product that will probably be abandoned as soon as something distracting comes along. 4 hours ago, Azdeus said: 2$ Or 195 Snowflakes in their new store, buy 150 points for 1$.. We have listened to the feedback of our valued customers and have decided that our initial policy of charging for every respec is unreasonable. As such we will be rolling the feature out to everyone in our new 'Unleash your Build' dlc available for $20. This allows up to 3 free respecs per account ($2 or 195 snowflakes thereafter). Due to maintenance and the server being upgraded the old exploitative respec feature will be deprecated for those who do not buy the expansion. Edited November 5, 2019 by Zoraptor 3
