Why The Fan Anger Over 'Diablo: Immortal' Makes Little Sense
https://digg.com/2018/diablo-immortal-fan-backlash

"Guys, guys, guys! The Diablo concept is mindless clicking on monsters until they die dropping loot to help you click on bigger monsters. I don't understand how Diablo Immortal is not that. So everyone lets enjoy some Diablo mkay. If you prefer Diablo 2 then you can go play that. Also, I named my Barbarian 'Kalechips'."

Thanks digg.

The only thing good to come out of Digg was Diggnation, and even that's over now

Diablo Immortal booth at Blizzcon:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comm...WE&sh=da44e988

Yikes.

People are saying it's not the game, but bad time and place to announce it. They are entitled PC gamers who shun mobile games. I think it is the game, though:
- It's a reskin of an existing Diablo-esque arpg for mobile
- It's also just a cut down version of Diablo 3
- It was developed by NetEase, who may have been building up to this moment by a 2-year public play-test of Diablo Immortal titled "Endless of God" on the Chinese market.

From here: https://www.abacusnews.com/digital-l...rticle/2171798
Quote:
When we started off in story mode, we were basically just steamrolling our enemies for an hour. Then we realized that Endless of God also features an autoplay function, with which you can literally let the game play itself for you. Since none of the early challenges were difficult enough, the AI could breeze through countless missions.

So basically your Zod rune harvesting bot is legit.


Oh well, at least we have a new internet meme out of all this: "Don't you guys have phones!?"

What the fuck did they expect, really?

Get a room of 5000 die hard Diablo fans, expecting to hear more of what they love already. Blizzard developed hardcore RPG, on PC and console.

Announce a game targeted towards casuals, developed by a third party known as being worse as EA in Asia, presumably full of Gacha style IAP, on a mobile platform. It will not be a game based on fun.

Designing Path of Exile to Be Played Forever. Chris Wilson at GDC 2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM_5S55jUzk

Go NZ game devs!

A really good study of why Diablo 2 succeeded while all other ARPGs failed. Also how Path Of Exile makes every attempt to be as great as Diablo 2.

Because ActiBliz are in the process of cancelling themselves?

Starcraft Remastered is cool, but not life-changing. Warcraft 3 Reforged sounds like a piece of shit, so I didn't buy it. I don't trust Actiblizzion to not fuck Diablo 2 up, and I wouldn't be able to handle that.

the timing for D2 Resurrected makes it seem like a damage control announcement after the Diablo Immortal (you all have phones, right?) debacle.

Yeah. This isn't an update from the people who made D2; this is marketing from the people at the company that bought the company where the people who made D2 used to work.

$75 is certainly on the nose for a 20 year old game with a facelift.

But.... shiny D2...
