    Diablo IV

    They have 7 bosses, nightmare dungeons, pit, the gimmick ladder thingie and whatever seasonal shit is going on in the open world (or helltides). As I said the content is there. The fact that you end up only farming pit is the absolute failure of the designers.

    Diablo IV

    There's plenty of end game now. Or, to be more precise, there's enough content to have a decent end game, maybe even good. It's not used well because because the designers don't know the genre, lack common sense and basic math skills.

    Diablo IV

    Campaign was a piece of shit and the designers had 4 seasons to prove they are braindead monkeys wasting art resources. They got lucky marketing and art departments sold the shit out of this game so Blizzard doubled down on it. Then they got lucky again PoE2 is luling around instead of...

    Incline Path of Exile II - crossplay cross platform progression couch co-op confirmed

    They're leaning too much into keyboard movement and it looks akward during gameplay...

    DOOM: The Dark Ages medieval spinoff

    100% current id devs have no clue what doom is. Useless mongrels raised on gamepad shooters (gow or cod most likely).

    And at least for shooters there isn't any game with player base big enough to handle matchmaking. During their peak I was stalking duel severs of q2/q3/ut with ase while 10v10 cs servers were many times more and filled to the brim. RTS games also folded and died the moment a "fake competitive"...

    And they do that with artificial systems designed to keep the hamsters going. The people that actually play competitive in mp are a minuscule number.

    Most people don't enjoy competitive 1v1, simple as. And most devs aren't purists, they'll go for the larger market. Read the link I gave about what Pardo wanted for SC2 ranking.

    I haven't played in a while but at launch sc2 had a league system built on top of a hidden elo based rating. If that's still the case what you call simple is an entire fake system built to alleviate ladder anxiety. You can get a glimpse of the way they think here...

    MMR doesn't offer progression. Realistically you would hit a plateau quite fast and VERY slowly move up (provided you are interesed in improving at the game) Players love to see bars go up so devs slap all sort of systems on top. Sometimes they use a real (hidden) MMR value (blizzard usually...

    It's extremely common in games with PvP because players react really well to it. If the game has enough players and sane devs it won't feel heavy handed. Other games have it disquised as promotion/demotion matches for example. As for your question about hots vs dota 2, hots is a what the...

    Diablo IV

    So every multiplayer game now is a mmo?

    Diablo IV

    It's not a MMO and they didn't try to copy Lost Ark. You're confusing it with an old Blizzard practice of trying to force skinner elements in their games.

    Diablo IV

    When you go to wt3/wt4 at low lvl you get 1shot randomly when fighting blood maidens/hellborne champions -> gy rush.

    Diablo IV

    WT1 was very easy, WT2 was a good difficulty for a new player. Now WT2 is so easy playing naked must be what the devs want (didn't check WT1). 2nd capstone dungeon has also been massively nerfed so their intended route through the game seems to be: - sleepwalk til lvl 35 in WT2 and move on -...
