Post History for TardarSauce#11819

I've been gaming for a while. I've come to the conclusion that no game is perfect. They all have flaws, even the ones from the most funded, talented developers. Enjoying a video game or not is generally seen as subjective but there are some generally agreed upon objective video game design rules that most people can usually agree that make a game "good".1. Smooth controls. If controls aren't smooth, it can feel "heavy" or "lethargic" to play. I feel Diablo3 controls are very fluid.2. Visually appealing. Not necessarily ultra high def next-gen graphics, but just something that is visually pleas…

The gear isn't even what separates people in power. Anyone can get max level and get a free set of gear in one night of playing.The separation in power comes from those who are 5k+ paragon level to your 1k or less.Because 20k main stat is far more power boosting than a 200-300 main stat difference that you 'd get from a Primal.Might as well bot. Or uninstall.

The problem is Diablo 3 has no other end game except the leader board. You can't trade, there is no good PvP system. Literally the only thing to do in Diablo 3 end game is try to climb the leaderboard."Oh why do you care if someone is ranked higher than you, just play the game"And do what? Trade? PvP? Play a sub-optimal build? Attack random monsters to admire the combat visuals? Talk to Cain? OH WAIT, Cain is dead.Diablo 3 = Cain.Dead.

No, I don't. Maybe they will surprise me and do something great with Diablo 4, but their recent track history does not look good. Nobody wants a mobile game, nobody asked for a mobile game. There is a difference in wanting to be profitable, and still design good games, finding that good balance, and completely throwing game design out the window just so you can rake in as much cash as humanly possible. There's a reason they are partnering with NetEase, and it's not a good one.If they are making Diablo 4, chances are, it won't be anywhere remotely close to previous versions, for better or worse…

And having a blast. I am noticing a lot of things are much more satisfying.Leveling up, for instance.D2 - "YES! I get to put another point into my skill! And it will do more damage!"D3 - "I get to unlock a rune for an ability, or a new ability, which all scales from weapon dmg..."Gear drops are also more satisfying.D2 - "Oh, unique chain gloves! I know they are chancies, and they will be useful no matter what, but I hope it's a high roll! Maybe I can use those for my MF set, or maybe I can trade those for something. I have options!"D3 - "Cool 100 legendaries that I can't do anything with but …

Game streaming and device hopping is cool in theory, and maybe neat to show off, but in reality I feel like people just play their games on their preferred devices and that's it.
