Some members of the Diablo 4 community is outraged over the appearance of in-game shop ads, reminding players of new microtransactions.
And there's no bundle
I remember when they were testing the waters with paid DLC and people were screaming to not buy them so that companies would get the idea that we didn't want to pay for unfinished games. Gamers didn't listen, now the game companies are lapping it up.
The Oblivion horse armor may have been the beginning of cosmetics however, the WoW Celestial Mount takes the cake for setting us up for the present day. That mount made more money for Blizzard than the whole Starcraft 2 franchise. Just sad and crazy.
at least be right for once...diablo immortal is D3 reskinned.....
You are always the most opiniated on games you haven't played and don't know a single thing about.
Hi Mich. Good to see you are kind of doing okay. You still have this fascination with imaginary omnipotence, but at least we are getting somewhere.
Speaking to fans on Twitter, Blizzard director of social and content marketing Adan Fketcher explained that the roadmap fans have been given is incomplete. While the roadmap does include some of the additions coming to the ARPG, there’s also more that the studio has yet to reveal.
They should have taken their time and made a good game instead of panicking after the Immortal "Don't you have phones?" fallout.
They hadn't worked on it for a decade: "instead of panicking after the Immortal "Don't you have phones?" fallout."
I haven’t beaten Diablo 4, but from the time I’ve spent I really loved it. What is it that people hate about it?
The builds are too basic and the end game is not good, which is fine if they went the Diablo 2 route, but unlike D2 the build complexity really isn't there — the lack of tend game quality and the lack of build complexity is a recipe for suck in the ARPG space.
The Burning Hells have more hatred to spread! Look at the 2025 Roadmap for Diablo IV to see the demon-laden path ahead.
This isn’t exactly new. Didn’t games like Gears of War, Destiny and Street Fighter do things like this?
I'm not sure I'd exactly call a pop-up when launching the game "in-game". I initially thought they were referring to something in the game world itself.
This is pretty normal in games like Fortnite, COD, Battlefield, pretty much any game that sells skins has pop ups from time to time to show a new addition.
I don't agree with it but I feel there is definitely some badnwagoning going on here.
Diablo 4 community feign outrage is more appropriate if you ask me. You knew what you signed up for. Don't cry foul after the fact. It's an industry standard at this point for games to have ads to inform you buy DLC. Even more so for what amounts to a live service game where your guarenteed to see the practice.
