I don’t really like the way the characters look so I hope they add some type of char creation.

Also I hope builds are not locked behind gear like 3 was. It was so dumb that they had to make all the drop rates super high so people could actually have fun with the game… but then that killed pretty much all of the loot hunt that made 2 fun.

Shame I can’t support Blizz right now…

A story so far trailer for Overwatch is pretty funny since it’s story hasn’t gone anywhere.

Yeah the OW2 story trailer looks like it literally is what an OW1 would have been if it always had PvE

Watched Skill Up review on Death Stranding. Mostly non-combat(or pathetically weak combat) and exploration like I thought.

R.I.P gonna watch a Let’s Play. :relieved:

Wasn’t there supposed to be a watch the story feature in Death Stranding that skipped the game play? I remember some overly complicated story game touting that as a feature recently.

Kojima is a hack.
He got lucky with a great team in MGS.

Enjoy your delivery “likes” which make you go crazy. :joy::joy:

Blizzard needs a hit after the fiasco in chinatown.

-D4 actually looks dark and gritty this time around. I mean in one of the trailers a guy got half of his face sliced off by a swArd. They definitely listened to the complaints about D3’s visuals.

-Lilith is a secret Uber Boss from Diablo II. She got added in in a much later patch, whichever one added Uber Tristram added her in. She was just a 1:1 clone of Andariel in that game basically as an uber boss. It’s pretty cool she’s front and center this time.

-Movement looks slow. This is one thing I hated about D3 - crap mobility, especially compared to PoE and Grim Dawn.

-An actual skill tree for classes would be nice. Some depth would be nice too, instead of playing the game for 2 weeks followed by knowing everything there is to know, in a franchise where you’re supposed to be finding new shit after 2 years let alone 2 weeks.

-I hope trading and multiplayer is more of a focus. At one point in D3 they started to make BOUND TO ACCOUNT items which is some MMO bullshit. D2 was big on trading, and making items like that is just dumb.

-I hope loot/itemization is interesting. This aspect is really, really boring in D3 compared to D2. I also hope runes/horadric cube crafting makes a comeback in some way. Crafting in D3, just like the itemization was just so damn lame.

-Actual randomized areas. A lot of areas in D3 are the same everytime, and the areas that are actually randomized pick from like 3-5 preset layouts which you will start to notice QUICK. Levels that are truly randomized adds a lot to replayability of htese types of games.


The dark artstyle gives me a little bit of hope that they listened to D3’s criticisms a little bit. I doubt they’ll nail everything, but I’m willing to give it a shot. It’s basically Grim Dawn/Path of Exile or bust for the genre right now, so it’ll be nice to play something new. I’d try Wolcen if it ever comes out too.

@Million-X DID YOU SEE THE PART WHERE THE DRUID TRANSFORMED INTO A WEREWOLF?

Shiiiet I hope they bring the Assassin back, or ze Paladin.

I agree with everything.

He’s a hack for making a game that isn’t focused on combat but traversal?

He’s a hack for making a lot of shitty MGS games too.

Death Stranding looks kind of interesting, but not 60 dollars interesting. It looks 20 dollars and under interesting though. :sunglasses:

But what about DS makes him a hack? A game doesn’t have to be combat focused to be good or interesting.
