MrBrown Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 So apparently by buying one of the pricier Diablo 4 editions, you get access to the game 4 days earlier than people who buy the regular edition. Dunno if companies do that regularly these days, but what a stroke of genius! You get to let people in stages instead of all at once which is better for server load, AND they pay for it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they even pay it? I share Lexx's skepticism. Even if they pay it, they will probably get help from their supporters to do it such that none of this ultimately truly hurts them. Meanwhile, the damage to Avellone is very real and very permanent. So totally unjust and unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing new. New World did it, Lost Ark did it, Hogwarts legacy did it. Do you think letting people in stages for no additional money will be met with understanding or do you think people will mald? No to mention, do you expect devs to randomly select people to get early access for free?

Lexx Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Another reason for me not to buy Diablo 4. They already want 70 bucks for the game, and then still try to fleece me for more. No thanks, it's too big of a turn-off for me. 3 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I don't mind cosmetics or this newer play a few days early stuff, if it's single-player. With the latter just being a choice of impatience over funds. There's no gameplay reason to spend extra. But online with some element of even minor competitiveness (ladders, "battle passes", whatever), even if it's just bragging rights and cosmetic rewards, it's much more dubious because it gives a distinct advantage to play/level/familiarize early. Now, I don't know what Blizzard is doing, maybe the first season/battle pass won't begin until a week after release day or something, which would make it less of a potential issue/advantage, but eh y'all know what I'm saying. I find pricing the seasons/battle passes more aggravating. I would occasionally do half the season progression in D3 for funsies to get/check out the season benefit/new game feature early (vs. waiting until season end and they dumped it into non-season play) then stop. I'd certainly not pay extra just to do that. 1 “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Oh, btw, if you were interested in the RE4-RM, and you have a gpu with 8GB (or less) vram, don't put it anywhere near max settings (especially texture setting), even at 1440, maybe not even 1080. And definitely don't put on RT, unless maybe you have 16+ vram (or maybe it's just a general RT bug, could be fixed later). I will say that I had it at 2GB texture memory for a while and while I did notice a wall texture occasionally being low-res, it was very rare and often too dark for me to notice much anyway, and generally speaking it largely looks the same as when I tried higher. 3GB setting is nicer to use maybe, but I do have 11vram.

LadyCrimson Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) At 17:00 - customizable difficulty via accessories (that show on-screen, can't hide you're using them). I think my lazy butt likes that way more than just an "Easy/Story" mode. So one can keep some combat elements normalized and others 1-button or slow-down/quicktime-like easy. I wasn't very interested in ff16 (even as an action game, nvm "FF game") but this video sorta makes me interested. Not just for that aspect, but overall too. Sideline: 24:00 - yes you can pet the dog. ...still, I'm not sure. Difficulty customization doesn't mean it'll be fun to actually play through the whole game. Also the way AAA PC releases have been going recently, I feel like I should just get a PS5 be done with it. ...to paraphrase Asmongold: "On console, smooth 3 second load times. On PC, it'll crash."
