[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 78 points 2 years ago (1 child) I still won’t play it. Blizzard can suck it sideways permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] MxM111@kbin.social -19 points 2 years ago (3 children) Why? Why so much love for this game in particular? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] BarbecueCowboy@kbin.social 28 points 2 years ago (1 child) For me, I love the franchise and have really fond memories, but this one feels like a free to play game, but then they also want $70 for it. A game with a premium price point can be okay and a game with microtransactions can also be okay, but trying to be both is going to result in those of us who've been around awhile just taking a pass. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] MxM111@kbin.social -13 points 2 years ago (2 children) So this huge game with ton's in game stuff you ignore because there is also a store where you can buy if you want to few armor pieces, which are not even necessarily better, just different? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Nobsi@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago This game doesn't have tons of stuff... path of exile has tons of stuff. Diablo 4 has nightmare dungeons. 12 of them. That's it permalink fedilink source parent [–] BarbecueCowboy@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago There's always the main story of Diablo, but for a lot of us, the real game, and the reason we kept coming back was to get those cooler items. It's what turns Diablo from a play once experience to a put 100s of hours into it experience for me, and now it's turned into a pay $30 experience which feels really bad. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago (1 child) Personally I deleted blizzard games after the sexual harassment lawsuit/investigation by the California AG, but many hate Diablo specifically for the immortal mobile game. Diablo 4 also increased the grind after launch to pad content further, it's a $70 game with cosmetic macrotransactions, and it has season passes and other garbage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago I ditched them in 2019 after the Blitzchung "liberate Hong Kong" controversy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) Blizzard is a shit company that exploits their customers, their employees and had a huge sexual harassment issue recently. Overall just a complete shit company making overpriced mediocre games. They used to be great, which is why they draw so much hate for now being awful. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Blizzard is so shit that when I had internship offers from two predatory gaming megacorps, Blizzard and EA, I took the EA position because they didn’t have a history of abusing and sexually harassing their employees. Was a real Sophie’s Choice there for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Please tell me you did something horrible on your way out, or plant to.... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago Haha, I wish I could say I left their offices cussing and flipping them off, but I actually had a great experience working for them. Their customer practices are horrendous, and management is 100% always down to nickel-and-dime every possible aspect of the games they can get away with. But the internal practices and office culture are actually pretty robust regarding toxicity, sexual harassment and work-life balance, at least at the office I was at. I can’t speak to fair compensation, since I was an intern. Ok enough EA shilling. Don’t buy their games, they hate gamers and see you as nothing but bags of money, lol. permalink fedilink source parent
