I got mine through affirm and paid it off over time. Its all paid off now though. I wanted to get into high end pc gaming for years, ive been a console guy for the last 30. I made enough to comfortably make the monthly payments, so i figured why not. But i didnt drop 5k all at once

Ah nice. Didn't realise such a niche service existed.

 

[Joramun]

How many gay npcs are in the game?

I actually wouldn't care if there was a gay char as long as it wasn't forced on players to pander/virtue signal.

Black Bomberman is one example. Quite a funny character within the game and no forced narratives.

I have 3 friends who upgraded after seeing reviews to play it early. I think the servers will be crowded from the get go. None of them played the betas.

 

[Joramun]

He's my go-to when it comes to Diablo.

Any other youtubers for Diablo related content?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Preload done, drivers updated. Now just a couple more days of work and off on Friday. Gonna need a large pot of coffee that morning to keep me going through the day I think!

You didn’t realize credit existed? Crazy concept!

 

[HelpYouFall]

You can still die on "normal" in D1 and D2 quite easily.

Man you must run some shit builds ...

 

[Luipadre]

BNet still says expected release is 6/6 and i have the deluxe version. Its the same for everyone?

 

[GHG]

D2 is one of my favourite games of all time. Its hard to trust reviews on games like this, D3 also had amazing reviews... so i don't know. Lets hope they are right this time. My major concern is itemization and how fun will be hunting those items in the end game.

Yep, in the same boat.

D3 was a pile of shit. I'm just going to wait it out and let the dust settles. I will see what people who like D2 but dislike D3 are saying after a couple of weeks, because I know what type of Diablo experience I want vs what I don't want.

Specifically for gaming PC's is what I meant

So decided to preload the game this morning... ~74gb sound about right for series x version? I've been reading 89gb. Not seeing a version of the game with X|S showing on the tile.

Yeah 70 something is right for consoles and 89 is on PC

I bit the bullet and got the first upgrade only because I go on holidays for two weeks starting next weekend. I feel dumb but

Nothing dumb about it. It’s your money and only you know what value that extra £20 will get you! I did the same to be fair.

[Codeblew]

When does the OT go up? Is it 24hrs before early access?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Luipadre]

I love how they only advertise early access for ultimate edition both on bnet and twitter. They will get some unaware people with that shit thats for sure

its on their webpage too, but on twitter and in the bnet client banner it only says ultimate. Deluxe still has early access but they only pushing for ultimate in those AD tweets and banners. Wonder why

Why does a game like this have 'crowded servers'? Isn't it mostly singleplayer?

 

[Rentahamster]

It's always online

 

[Bry0]

If it looks like d3, feels like d3, sounds like d3…

 

[Honey Bunny]

Lol, how do they justify that?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

It doesn't look anything like Diablo 3

 

[Rentahamster]

Lol, how do they justify that?

Anti-piracy, anti-cheating, multi-player oriented feature set.

 

[Joramun]

Self-moderated

 

[Bry0]

It doesn't look anything like Diablo 3

The art doesn’t but the gameplay and nutso damage/hp scaling certainly does.

 

[Kacho]

Lol, how do they justify that?

Micro transactions

 

[Boneless]

By showing the year is 2023.

Yeah, nothing like some rubber banding while running alone through the wilderness.

 

[Freeman76]

Might wanna improve your service provider if your connection cant handle Diablo lol

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Yeah, nothing like some rubber banding while running alone through the wilderness.

If that shit is happening even while playing solo, I'm out. I have no tolerance for that shit.

 

[Freeman76]

Unfortunately no, you now have other players running around killing all the mobs you need. Think of WoW when an expansion comes out, and how its a race to kill mobs, its like that. Luckily the dungeon areas are instanced so you can still grind gear without having to worry about XxSn1peZxX spam aoe'ing everything in sight before you can get there.

I didnt experience that once in either of the betas.

 

[bender]

I didnt experience that once in either of the betas.

I had it happen a ton in the first beta.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

I had it happen a ton in the first beta.

IGN review mentioned they had it happen to them during the review period.

 

[ssringo]

IGN review mentioned they had it happen to them during the review period.

Pretty sure one of the video reviews I watched mentioned that Blizzard was testing the servers and had told them they might experience latency issues.

Edit: Yup, Fextralife mentions it at 12:45

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Well, 10 hours to go until it's live here in Japan. Fingers crossed with the servers, annoyed Blizzard didn't allow for offline single player but let's see how it goes. Street Fighter 6 live in 2 hours, got that preloaded too, I fear for my sleep these next couple of months

 

[Joramun]

You're on your own there lol. I don't do discord. I think there is a gaf discord but idk how many people actually use it.

Where is the OT thread my dude?

SkillUp dropped his review-in-progress - no big shocker, he recommends it.

 

[Repo Man]

Here's some "interesting" contrast to all the good reviews the game is getting. Make what you will of it...

For all of the Diablo 4 hype the game is shockingly ugly for a 2023 release

As a newcomer to the series, Diablo 4's graphics are so lacklustre that I'm already put off buying it.

[FearlessBelgian]

Lol, how do they justify that?

The whole middle chunk of this review doesn't sound like a recommend at all really.

Yeah, he definitely goes into detail about things that he felt could have been done better, just outweighed by the positives overall.
