@OminousNemesis @Dansgaming @Diablo No idea where people are getting this from there is so much diversity it’s actually insane.

@Dansgaming @Diablo There's fun to be had with D4 but there isn't really that much build variety overall

I found a fun and hilarious Warlock build in @Diablo 4! I can make a giant Pac-Man like skull that I can control and direct it to eat all the enemies. I'm absolutely loving all the unique builds possible in this game now.

Ok so @Rob_2628 there is a helmet for warlock, turns you into a little demon thing when you dodge. The scaling if you do it in demon form and proc profane sentinel. Is insane, I can clear torment 6 pit just running around as it. Have you checked it out? Loving the his update!

@NeverSinkDev Must be exclusive to PC, I’ve had zero issues no downtime no crashes on PS5 Pro. Also think your take on new skill tree is a L the passives where so boring this is way better. Have to disagree with ya here this is def the best D4 has ever been. Sitting 8.5/10 for me

DIABLO 4 LOH - FINISHED CAMPAIGN (WARLOCK) FIRST IMPRESSIONS / CAMPAIGN RATING: This does NOT include the endgame, I'll make another post about it over the next days. Let me rip the band-aid right off. It's not great. THE GOOD - 20% OF THE CAMPAIGN Good cutscenes. Good dialogues, some plot twists. It felt like 'old blizzard'. Interesting returning characters. Most bossfights are pretty solid! I was very entertained during those parts! THE GOOD - TALISMANS It's a breath of fresh air for D4. It's not very complex and mostly serves as a stat stick, but I enjoyed engaging with it! THE GOOD - THE NEW TOWN Compact, with all important NPCs nearby. A great hub for the endgame later on. THE GOOD - WARLOCK SPECIALIZATIONS The 4 soulshard-demons you can bind are fun and flavorful! Each of them feels very distinct and imo they're by far the best bit of the whole class! THE MEH - WARLOCK RESOURCE Warlock uses the Demon Hunter D3 dual resource system... except it's worse in every way. You use one resource exclusively for 'Archfiends', essentially making it a nuke on a cooldown. The other one you'll likely be able to sustain near non-stop soon - making it a gear check.. THE MEH - WARLOCK 'ARCHETYPES It's an illusion of choice. Most archetypes corner you into a couple of skills/subskills and everything else just doesn't make sense. For instance, if you want to go Abyss/Shadowform, you basically are stuck with ~5-10 skills/subskills that make sense. Everything else just doesn't fit. May change in the endgame maybe. THE MEH - NEW ZONE Not memorable. Not terrible. THE BAD - TECHNICAL ISSUES 5+ crashes. I had to redo a lot of quests and areas. Dialogues and volume are a mess. NPC dialogues would frequently get completely cut out in the middle, during combat midsentence most of the time. THE BAD - THE 80% FILLER IN THE CAMPAIGN It's the WORST kind of filler. Slaying random mobs until something happens. Riding through zones of idle enemies, often very monotonous dialogues. WAITING - sometimes you wait for 5-20 seconds for the NPCs to get to the next 'phase'. I was actively yawning. The game would've been much better if they'd left the 20% good campaign bits and you'd simply have to fight through areas oldschool like in D2. THE BAD - SKILL TREEE ALL passives are gone. Yes, you get 3 major-subtypes of every skill now, instead of two, but was this trade worth it? For me personally: no. Absolutely not. I suspect this makes balancing the game a lot easier. It's also very boring. THE BAD - (SOME) VISUALS I dislike the look of many warlock skills. They look somewhat goofy. The demon-eye turret and 'Rampage' look like they escaped D3. Ironically I loved the D2R warlock visuals and it's sad to see them be so poor here. Graphically some 'new' enemies are D3 enemies repolished and feel a bit out of place. OVERALL RATING (UNTIL CAMPAIGN END) 5/10. Talismans are great. The campaign is 20% great and 80% terrible. Warlock is OK The new skilltree has no passives. The new zone is entirely forgettable. I'd like to note again that the endgame may be a lot better. I actually expect it to be a lot better. Did you play the new campaign? What is your impression? Do you agree with my POV?

@DestinLegarie Remote or in person? Been apart of, have made, and have started many. Always enjoyed your content and style. Open to chat and see if values align. Keep on keeping on

Putting it out there. I'd love to find someone who'll put up with my weird schedule to do a podcast with again on a regular basis.

@Gothalion @Professorbroman @MagicFindStudio Congrats!!!!!!

We can’t wait to share our worlds with you. A very significant first round of funding has hit @MagicFindStudio. We’re really real now.

@PaulTassi Well it is like a 2 year old game, I’m sure it’ll do well on PS. Cool timing to get back into it with launch of Artemis and success of Hail Mary

Well that PS5 Starfield launch and DLC really came and went huh

Very excited to share we have been nominated for a People’s Telly, if you have some time go vote! peoples.tellyawards.com/PublicVoting#/… #telly #smallteams #massart

@LukeStephens @LegacyKillaHD Have to agree, game journalism has fallen, gaming in general is in a weird space. Lots of lazy gamers out there.

@LegacyKillaHD I predicted after the preview that this is one that game journalists will loathe. There is zero hand holding and even at the preview event I witnessed several journalists from big outlets getting stuck in the tutorial puzzle for 45 plus minutes...

Uhhh Is this going to be one of those games critics don't like it but users love it? These Crimson Desert review scores are not great so far... 🙃

@AustinAirport Alright hit me with tmrw numbers

While not a record-breaking travel day, over 31k departing travelers is about 5 - 7k more than a normal Wednesday. Arriving 2.5 hours before a flight should be enough time for domestic flights, 3 for international. Additional AUS staff are on-site this morning to assist you.

@AustinAirport What’s tmrw looking like total passenger wise

Good morning, travelers. Here is a 4:30 am view of the general security line for Checkpoint 1. We’re expecting a record-breaking volume of people — there are about 38k of you flying out today. Please arrive at least 2.5 hours prior to your flight’s departure for domestic.

Had an opportunity to travel to Cali. Went and bought the #djipocket3 and made this. @DJIGlobal great piece of equipment. youtu.be/WEWBBAr1T-s?si…

@DrDisrespect It’s crazy seeing these responses if you read the after effects timeline it’s very clear it was a joke. Not to mention saying photoshoot but showing after effects lol

Just finished our photoshoot for tomorrow and the team sent me a sneak peek. Tomorrow is going to be CINEMA DROPS ON #marathonpartner

10 years ago today...a little game called Grim Dawn came out. Go down memory lane with us and see the staggering amount of content still in store with Fangs of Asterkarn! forums.crateentertainment.com/t/10-years-ago…

@PaulTassi That’s a great take Paul. I always agreed with your concerns leading to Highguard launch. Doing zero press post game awards was a choice, whole situation is just unfortunate.

Not sure I’ve read something that so cleanly splits the factions of press, creators, devs and gamers My take: It is not my job to praise games I am not impressed by But I also get why this outcome feels devastating for this person (and team), and it’s worth recognizing that

Loving @nioh_game. #Nioh3 though is the easiest in the same way Elden ring was. Open world makes it so you can over level and destroy. Incredible game though and the sense of discovery is top tier.

@djfoster08 The only thing so far I’m bummed on is if you over level the map ythe gear drops arnt helpful. I’m still clearing first man but man all the levels are like 19 and I’m 50 lol

This cave is massive #Nioh3

@djfoster08 It’s actually criminal that 3 is the lowest, it’s without doubt the best in the series. And the best open world souls like since elden ring

No better time to jump in then with Nioh 3

@PaulTassi Could not agree more. Always followed you as well because of it

It’s never been more important for your writing to have your personality in it. I’ve always said I try to write how I talk. I don’t always hit the mark but it has generally served me well for close to 20 years now

@PaulTassi Maybe a trailer

Going to be glass totally empty and say we are not going to be playing a Fallout 3 remake in three hours

@Gothalion It would be such a boon for the fallout community, good for Bethesda as well. Looking forward to the final episode and seeing what they drop! Also @Gothalion that guest lecture is still something I love to chat with ya about! 🫡

Remember how the narrative around the Oblivion Remaster went as follows -not happening -not happening -not gonna happen -keep dreaming -happened -worst kept secret in gaming
