D4 graphics look like D3..... ggg must be lol'ing

.

Time will show how it will be. What i know is that Blizzard tries to release good quality products. GGG releases half baked leagues and players are working as testers - lots of bugs and crashes... as always. Got a bit tired of GGG always "shifting the meta", breaking existing builds, intentionally making something broken AF just to sell more microtransatcions for those ridiculously overpowered skills. Each new league brings new stash clutter, just to push stash tab sales. Seems like most of decisions revolves around making and more money, creating a quality product has been pushed back as less important goal. A different attitude would be nice.

oh right, forgot about maps, every league they change map icons... bet 100 dollars that 4.0 will get changed map icons... again.

Been here since 2013 and you know what - unfortunately GGG has changed for the worse. Instead of being that idealistic company, trying to create great game, they've become just another blatantly greedy corporate machine.

Also, white knights, hold your asses, i dont care about Blizzard, they aren't perfect either.

yeah, but guess what. People will TRY it. ANd with that, 50% POE players will play d4 then. RIP poe :/

Lol there is no way, PoE has its own unique style to so many players no other game can take that away. Unless PoE does something insanely negative that makes everyone quit... which I don't see happening anytime soon. In fact, quite the opposite.

Yes, But many will play D4 just to be able to group/party play. The D4 servers netcode won't be running over the god awful Networklayer Internet backbone and thus with be butter smooth in group play. And in party play you will be able to see where the enemies are, none of this clusterfuck of FX obliterating our view. That alone will get Blizzard tons of players. Let's see, probably at least another 5 or 6 million at $60 USD each = a shit ton of revenue for Acti-Blizzard.

Say what you will but that game with run smooth like butter because that is what you can expect from a Blizzard game.

Meh, they aim for toaster PC's and up, it limits what they can do in terms of stuff happening on screen, most of the game play i've seen dose not have many monsters on screen, and unless their combat is really floaty in terms of impact their choice of always online will run into sync issues, especially with movement skills. they could also head in the SSD direction (since PC's and soon to be next gen consoles will use them).

To me that looks like rushed demo. Apparently D4 has new game engine and some futures seem cool but I feel like 3-5yrs waiting time for that game will kill hype unless they come up with some epic stuff. They were making a point that they want D4 to be somewhat similar to D2 so we can only wait to see where they take that game.

taking a second look at this thread I think zoomers only care about graphics..

seems after all I wasnt wrong.

and yes.. anyone can see d4 demo was barely something to call an alpha they just wanted to announce d4.

LOL @ D4 graphics on the forums of a game that looks like its PS1 era.

When I see the passive tree, it's a joke Xd ! Again a boring game !

Just goes to show that graphics isn't - and shouldn't - be (one of) the most important things in an ARPG. The "graphic demanders" are holding back the depth of games these day, because (apparently), the most important thing these days is the aesthetics - depth and gameplay come second.

Gameplay, depth, itemization and customization will always come first, that's why D4 looks about as fun as a corn of sand in my eye.

I don't watch many streamers or youtubers, but I came across this video by Quin69, and I actually agree with every single point he is making when it comes to Diablo 4 mechanics.

"Too much player choice - is that even a thing?"

If people play poe for the graphics.. don't make me bring back that abomination of image from blight.

but hey I guess too much poe graphics has destroyed a bunch of folks eyes..
