Did you preorder Diablo 4?

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

If yes are you excited for the beta?

[Rio]

Nope, always online = my wallet always closed

I ain't played a diablo since 2. And Blizz can make sure it stays that way if they want.

[Zero, Dark Knight]

I'm not gonna play it, no thank you...
Used to be a huge fan of Blizzard Entertainment games, but not any more. =/ ...

...but uh.. yeah. .. things with Blizzard happened, and the games lost their magic, and I guess I grew older.

I've never played a Diablo-style ARPG, actually. I was thinking about giving Grim Dawn a go, some day. There was also V Rising that came out last year, which I think is partly action RPG, alongside the survival / base-building elements?

I did also play Gauntlet Legends way back in the day, on my old PS2. (That was probably the oldest games I ever owned a physical copy of.) I don't know how close to that is to stuff like Diablo?

[ʙᴜɴ.ᴇ]

ofcourse not. I refuse to touch anything Blizzard related.

[Hammer Of Evil]

idk, i think blizzard peaked with d2 / sc2 after that its been kinda bad. d3 was pretty wack. i'm not enthusiastic lets say.

the d2 remaster or whatever they call it there, has hardcaps on a lot of the builds i used to enjoy in the old game, makes it less appealing i suppose.

There one game thats like diablo 2 but free to play. I forget the name though. People tell me its ULTRA grindy, but that its boss fights are quite hard.

Ah I remember now this one https://store.steampowered.com/app/238960/Path_of_Exile/

This game is also said to be very much like D2

The always online thing and not being on steam is enough for me not to get it. I just removed a another ARPG from my wishlist the other day when I found out about the always online component to the game.

Always online is one reason me and friend never got TemTem. I hear of people getting false bans. Or getting very unfair ones. Why spend almost 40 dollars on game you can lose access too?

[Ulfrinn]

Is it still being made by and owned by Blizzard? If so, then no.

[Chris]

Online games should be free to play

[Rio]

Actually I look and not only is Temtem now 45 dollars, but now has micro/season pass people are saying. Dissapointing.

[TRethehedgehog]

No

[Chaosolous]

I won't purchase anything from Activision/Blizzard out of principle of morality. If you know you know. If you don't, you should look into it.

[Havok]

I enjoyed Diablo 3, I never had a chance to play Diablo 2, but I refuse to use yet another launcher just to play it. So I will likely pass, unless it comes to steam, without an EGS exclusivity.

Plus, I meme’d on anyone that played immortal, but I know for certain they will push an incredibly heavy and disgusting cash shop in D4. That alone is a reason I will wait at least a month, before I even consider. Otherwise, hard pass.
