2 simple words that poison a game for me sight unseen “live service”
And yes I will shit on them all
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I know mine is unpopular, but I’ve really been enjoying Diablo IV. Especially seasons 2 and 3, the game has improved a lot since launch.
(But I’m in no way trying to tell anyone else they should like it. A lot of people seem to despise it, so I have a hard time recommending it. But I’ve had a fun time with it. It’s a great podcast or audiobook companion when I’m not pushing myself, and it can be rewardingly challenging when I do decide to push myself.)
That’s because they shifted from ‘making a great game’ to ‘making a lot of money’ after they saw what the auction market was like in D2.
The love of money is the root of many evils and capitalism will destroy everything you love for profit.
I no longer enjoy mouse clicker action RPGs like Diablo, I sort of technical advancements have made FPS perspective RPGs and 3rd person RPGs better unless they involve deep turn based mechanics like Baldur’s Gate 3.
Diablo 4 was the biggest scam purchase I’ve made in a long time. Can’t believe I spent $100 on that.
