Diablo IV Review - PC Mag

Diablo IV is a beautiful, massive new chapter in the classic hack-and-slash series that features a wildly addicting hunt for fresh gear.

Finally a reviewer includes MTs in the review. This an interesting CON: "Requires a Battle Pass investment to get the most out of it."

CorndogBurglar326d ago

It really doesn't though. The battle pass will likely add more to the game, just like every other game with extended content. But you can still get everything in the game right now, even without the battle pass that is coming. It's not like you are being held back from getting legendary items until the battle pass comes out or anything like tthat.

And the MT's in the store really are just cosmetic. They are expensive as all hell, for sure. But they don't give you any advantage in the game that others wouldn't have.

The deeper you get in the story and after the patch update you will see why Blizzard influences you to buy microtransactions and Battle Pass. A few of my friends said after they bought Battle Pass they started to get legendary items in no time 😂

HyperMoused326d ago

Havnt seen the need to buy anything, in fact id say you are silly to buy the couple bits of armour thar available, Most people like the idea of games like Diablo you start with nothing and earn your gear,if you buy it, why play really.

Diablo 4 PC On Game Pass Requires Battle.Net To Install; Lacks Xbox Achievements Support

Diablo 4 seemingly lacks Xbox achievements support on Game Pass. It will also require you to install Battle.net to play.

Lacks Xbox Achievement support? If I played on Xbox this would infuriate me. Surely it's just an error and will be rectified shortly? If they only allow Battle.net's own crappy achievements then Xbox fans need to kick up a fuss about this. I mean Microsoft own the developer.

FPSRUSSIA28d ago

i agree im only on PlayStation and i don't play any game that doesn't have Trophies weird that a Microsoft Owns Them and no Achievements.

Andrew33628d ago

Are you a child? Who wont play a game because trophies and achievements?

KwietStorm_BLM27d ago

I've heard some weird reasons to not play a game but..

_Decadent_Descent27d ago

@Andrew336 I sometimes like getting achievements/trophies, but it certainly is never a game-breaker for me.

GamerRN27d ago

Yeah I strictly play games for the trophies also ... 🙄

I believe it has achievements on Xbox. It is only PC users who are not getting them, if I am reading this correctly

thesoftware73027d ago

Huh? Why wouldn't it need Battlenet on PC? There is no native Xbox GP PC D4. This is just like EA games on PC GP, you need EA to play. Is this supposed to be an issue? wow people really need to relax.

MS owns Battlenet now; they are essentially giving you the PC game that already exists for free.

DivineHand12527d ago

Before anyone gets confused, this is not the console version they are talking about. They are talking about the version of Diablo 4 you download via the Xbox app on PC.

This may be one of the reasons why we haven't seen all of Activision library hit game pass as yet. They would have to implement Xbox achievements to the PC versions of those games available via the Xbox app on PC.

I love how digital Spiderman codes count as physical releases because they are bundled with a PlayStation console.

If you go digital and your platform of choice goes under you lose your investment.
