    Ok, real talk. I know I shit on the issues in POE but I have to give them a ton of credit for just how more streamlined they've made the game over the last few years. Do you remember daily master missions? Reputation gated crafting? Maps bloated with content you didn't want to play? No way...

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

    You are being a retarded faggot because you like the game and are angry that other people are critical of it. Fuck you, we were excited about this game for years and were begging them to do other things. Here is my wish list post from TWENTY NINETEEN and then another one that I thought was...

    Nope (2022)

    I thought this was an ok movie, and a solid "horror" movie. The best part about Jordan Peele's movies is that they are not fucking remakes. I love the fact that I don't know what is going to happen in them.

    How is level scaling innovation? Tons of games have done it and almost no gamers like it. Oh, and how can you call it innovation when other games have more intricate versions where the scaling is capped in different places? Now innovation is doing a worse version of something that already...

    Stop the fucking presses! Those production values are way better than runewords! You know, those wildly popular thing that they refuse to bring back near its original form even though it is exactly the kind of thing that would spice up seasonal content?

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

    Get the fuck out of here. It has better graphics.... and that is it. The gameplay and systems are basic and copied from other games that cost less than a tenth of what was spent on this average experience. Now, you can still get $70 out of a new game that is a 5 or 6 out of 10; but don't lie...

    I'd bet you good goddamn money that the queues are intentional. They are probably testing the rapid server deployment architecture or some shit as well as trying to give others a little dose of FOMO. How good is the Beta? Wait in queue an hour good at least!

    MoistCritical had a video about the layoffs and bounties came up . He said that Twitch takes the lion's share of the bounties and that even the smallest streamers would get way more money by contacting the company directly and negotiating a sponsored stream.

    God, you two mouthbreathers still don't get it. I have played every Diablo game and enjoyed the first two immensely. I want to like D4 and will probably try it a little this weekend but Blizzard is already making decisions that make me, personally, not want to play it. Item durability...

    That article is as true now as it was 12 years ago and your retarded take is meaningless to me. You are fucking crazy autist that defends shitty games from companies that you feel some misguided nostalgic allegiance to even though they haven't put out a truly good game in decades. The irony...

    Blizzard is charging a box price for D4 which, to me, means it should have a complete single player game experience that ends with killing Lilith (or Diablo, because of course). Consumer pays box price for game from start to finish. They should not expect unlimited endgame replayability...

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

    Bro, you read my fucking mind. @Xevy I spoiler'd a few screenshots from the POE forums where it showed about 50-75 different builds from across the classes. There was no response to that. They are spouting the same shit about us white knighting POE and ignoring the fact that we want D4 to...

    I love how all these Blizzard nut huggers are accusing some in here of being POE fanboies when it was our criticism of how bland and shallow D4 looks that made them start wailing and gnashing their teeth about how that is just "polish for the masses."

    Off the top of my head: Currency is used for both transactions and crafting Support gems change skills in interesting ways; new ones added all the time League mechanics push all kinds of boundaries that other games won't even touch. Endgame bosses change yearly in a whole new way and always...

    Ok man, show me the innovation. What is the new system or way to play the game that D4 just introduced that blew your fucking mind. I'm willing to admit that I'm wrong.

    You are going to have to defend at least a bit of this statement. I played a slam build that was three different warcries to enhance the slam in different ways and another warcry to shatter the spikes made by the slam. One button active? I fucking wish.

    Do you know why people go back to POE over and over? Because they innovate every goddamn quarter. Sometimes it is great, sometimes it is absolute shit; but it is ALWAYS new and different. This game cannot even shake the feeling that it isn't that much different from a game released 11...

    There would be more build variety and greater interest if you could trade items with interesting affixes so that people could try out different builds.

    The only way this game makes money is nostalgia. It does nothing to improve or innovate on the genre as a whole.

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

    I know this is rhetorical but I'm going to answer anyways. It has escort quests because Blizzard is an uninspired, slowly dying corpse of a company with "talent" picked for characteristics other than being able to design good and compelling gameplay. If this game was named Mestiphon and was...

    The worst part about this show, which is also the worst part of The Walking Dead, is that they never ever show human intelligence vs. the major threat. Every single time the infected (or zombies) show up, someone gets bitten in the struggle. There is never a point where the humans show...

    Pimento cheese, while delicious, is a spread not a dip. While you can drag crackers through it, there is no way something that can be put on a sandwich could also be called a dip.

    I think you misread the post; I said my bank would grow at 1% per year, not that I would offer 1% loans. I would offer market rate, competitive loans but my goal would not be to grow at 10% quarter over quarter or whatever investors expect out of corporations these days.
