I am sure once I get to the adventure game loop where progress is hindered and leveling up is required to battle these impossible monsters and it becomes about survival then I will find compelling gameplay, the main campaign not so much.

I'll ask you again...are you a fan of the series, or of hack n slash games in general?

I died plenty of times playing it...on both PC and on PS4. I think one of us died when I was doing coop with Phantom Leo. There's plenty of spots in the game where you get overwhelmed by a giant horde and have no way out. I didn't find it so easy that it was garbage, or not worth playing. Its obviously not your thing so its time to move on.

The only part I thought looked bland was when you go into the other dimension...that looked bland even in 2004. The rest of the game looks better than Prime.

I played the original it was whatever, I felt it was a better challenge. I never once ran into a horde I could not kill. I would actually run around the level to gather as many enemies as possible before engaging them cause it was so boring fighting a few enemies. Again with all the health healing no one could kill me, plus my dude is amazing at crowd control, might as well bunch them up. The only enemies that made me thing are the ice dudes cause if I froze they could kill me since I cant heal. But even if you die you can start right back there and continue to pummel them.

I never cared for the genre but I do enjoy the feedback loop of loot to over come challenges, Destiny is partly that. Diablo is missing the over coming challenges component to that feedback loop.

Oooooh you're sooooo amazing. Lolz

Seriously though, what type of character are you using? I don't recall healing myself as I attacked. I used the martial arts guy on PC...and I can't remember what class I am on the PS4.

MKX just amazing!!!!

Check out the full stream, they show all of Ermac's styles, every character gets 3 different ways to play. The animations are ridiculous. The background are the best I have ever seen in a fighting game. This will be the fighting game of the year.

I DONT WANT TO BE AMAZING, this has nothing to do with my skill. I AM USING NO SKILL I just press the same few buttons over and over. So dont even.

http://www.diablowiki.net/Life_on_Hit

Life on hit, I heard the console versions even have a little ++ stats that tells you. This is what my stats screen looks like:

InventoryReaper.png

You see the third main attribute under the character, its healing mostly from life per hit. That was changed from vitality on PC if I recall correctly so they are emphasising that stat now.

I am a crusader. I summon ghost horses, fuck yeah.

I agree with Foolz, the colours in the game are great. Lots of contrasts and purple, orange and red.

Vader and Edge, just agree to disagree already. Then celebrate by watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood together. yes

I don't think dvader has much experience with the loot whoring genre or the Diablo series in general, so maybe it's a case of misguided expectations. The game is what it is. That's all they are. Click on stuff until it's dead so it drops gear you can wear to kill stuff faster. Over and over and over AND OVER again. It's too bad you didn't find any semblance of a challenge with it unlike every single one of us that played it in here, but perhaps you're just too good for it and broke it. I dunno.

There's no skill or strategy or puzzles or minigames involved. It's just mindless clicks on shit. Some of us (a few million) have good fun with it because we know what we're getting into beforehand. Some others will be all grumpy complaining about a game they are clearly not enjoying throughout 20+hours. Let me save you some time: Adventure more and rifting will probably do nothing for you either. All there is over there is a bunch of elites that take longer to kill than regular mobs. You have to do adventure missions in order to get rift fragments that will open rifts, which have tougher enemies and better drops. The dangling carrot here is loot, gear to wear and you're clearly not excited about it because you have never had the need for better stuff because the game offers no challenge to you. Because of the same reason, you don't bother with skill builds or class-specific gear builds either. I still remember being all giddy when I got a cindercoat for my DH. Or trying to do a HotA build barb. I feel sorry you won't enjoy the game as much as I did (I put over 200 hours into it across three toons) but not everyone can enjoy the same stuff alike.

In all fairness, the first time I played CastleVania: Symphony of the Night on PSOne, I picked up that one sword that did 100 slashes at the press of a button. I didn't even see most of the second castle bosses. Just could be the case that Blizzard made finding Legendaries too easy after we all played and Vader just got (un) lucky. Didn't affect how I feel about SoTN, though. I bet he'll enjoy the Post-Game more than the Main, though he's not one to spend too much time on any one game these days to FULLY get the most out of it.

All that and a new Fire Emblem.


Though it does frustrate me that all these epic games are coming out for the 3DS while the Wii U is getting these 10 hour experiences like Captain Toad and Rainbow Curse. I want a game like those 3DS games on the home console.

Yeah. Fire Emblem too. Crap!

Nothing says a system is dead more than it's President insisting "The Wii U ISN'T dead!!"

There's very little to look forward to on the U at the present, but the New 3DS on the other hand...

You can see where Ninty's made their real money and what they are going to be catering to in the next couple of months...

Fuck 'em, I say, after the tease of Fire Emblem X Shin Megami and then letting it die a slow, painful death...

That was entirely on Sega. The day they bought Atlus every big project they had that was not named Persona got delayed. Look at the Devil Survivor 2 remake. That went over a year from the announcement before we saw anything and that's just a handheld remake.
