Diablo immortal releasing on June 2

Really good game so far, love how it links between PC and Mobile, created a character for each, also means I can carry on doing my thing while on teh move until I get back home, gameplay is fun and ive not been forced to buy anything yet, might buy the battlepass.

People shat on this but as a MMO Diablo ... its fun
 
very early in but pleasantly surprised so far. surprised they didn't didnt take advantage of things like attack cancelling and other mobile friendly mechanics. since this is new blizzard I figure I'll hit a wall eventually where you have to start paying or it'll get super frustrating

but overall with streets of rage 4 and diablo immortal, I guess mobile gaming is back on the menu :messenger_peace: :messenger_sunglasses:

Oh look who's talking, the Marvel and Disney media shill who advertises every dreck produced by them. Why am I not surprised to see you praise this soulless cashgrab too?
If you guys can't stomach some well deserved criticism about a game's predatory monetization, maybe a video game forum isn't the best place for you.

You should do a bit of introspection and ask yourself why you are repeatedly returning to this thread to rain on people's parade. There are several of those in this thread that have expressed their like for this game, and they don't need you moderating their fun or throwing your hot takes around in a thread you clearly have no interest. You haven't played the game, and you clearly have no interest in doing so, so carry on and find a thread where you feel warm and fuzzy. Because at this stage, you are coming off as an ass and we really don't need that sort of personality here...or anywhere for that matter.

I've played every Diablo game to date, but why would I subject myself willingly to a game that only tries to fleece my wallet? You can enjoy a game all you want, but is it really that hard to also acknowledge the crappy pay 2 win and the aggressive microtransactions? It is Blizzard that is not treating you guys with respect, not me!
 
PC version is immediately disappointing. You can choose between windowed/full screen/borderless but the image quality isn't very good. DSR doesn't seem to work. Also does not support 21:9, but it is wider than 16:9.

It's in beta, so I'm sure it will improve.

Tried to play early this morning but it was still locked. Will play later tonight.

I THINK the battlepass is character-specific, which is bullshit if true. But I've only unlocked it on one so far, but on my other character the progression doesn't carry over.
 
A criticism I have for the cosmetics is apparently it's locked to the server and class you bought it on. So if you bought a wizard cosmetic set on one server but decided to switch servers for some reason you don't have access to it. this also applies to the battlepass as well. That's horse shit in my opinion. As for the game I think it's really fun and something you can play free as long as you aren't chasing leaderboards.

from what i've researched on the monetization system its an absolute joke. I wont even play for free because Blizzard doesn't deserve it.

Stop supporting and playing games that force you to pay money to max to your character.

Yea the cosmetics you got for pre-registering are for one character per account.

I wish they'd offer a server transfer (I'd pay). The game put me on a EST server when I started.

You should realistically be allowed to freely roam between servers in my opinion. If a friend decides to play there is a solid chance they will select another server from yours and now you can't play with them.
 
holy shit this is so much fun. sorry haters but blizzard nailed it with this game :messenger_tears_of_joy:

it's not that bad lmfao.

i do wish it was a bit higher resolution or better AA but whatever. also it is basically, at the moment, a straight port of the mobile versions. i'm sure in time it will get updated. it's still in beta for PC.

Who did you roll? Rocking Barbarian/Crusader right now. Crusader is higher. Falling Sword is stupid fun!

I am waiting too see how max level and PvP feels. So far the game is great. I am willing to pay for the empowered battle pass (I normally always buy battle/season passes if I enjoy the game a lot) bought every Tavern Pass in Sea of Thieves which I believe was $10 but I think Diablo Immortal has 2 or 3 different type of Battle Passes or am I going crazy? There is a regular and empowered version yes ?

Regular for $5, empowered for $15. Empowered just skips you a few levels.
 
My god the controller support is fucking atrocious. It doesn't feel good at all for anything other than activating abilities. Movement feels just odd and sluggish, like the character is queueing movements and executing them one after another with a very brief pause. Same thing with the on-screen cursor. Like this PC port feels like a SOOPER late entry into their launch plans (the lack of resolution selection is another, though maybe that's for PvP parity).

. . .other than that no complaints in the short lunch break I played the game in.

Controller support and looks are beyond garbage on PC!
 
I'm not willing to pay anything for this game. I hope i still get some gameplay worth out of it. So far it doesn't seem like it. Watched a Preview and they said you get to a point where you have to really grind for better items.
Either you have to grind, have a bit of luck or pay to win basically.

i went with wizard (female). did do a bit of demon hunter on ipad. all feels good but i'm probably going to stick with the wizard class.

i'm not far enough to feel like i need to spend money/grind but so far i'm enjoying the shit outta it. i won't mind spending some money on maybe a battle pass but i'm not going to spend a lot of money on it.

Exactly, paywall hits you hard mid- to late-game.

The first couple of hours are just honey to get you hooked and bait you into opening your wallet once you've put enough time into it.
This is not healthy monetization since some items have zero drop chance unless you pay up. In essence, late-game progressions is tied to the online shop, so it is not merely a question of practicing restraint.
Sooner or later you are either forced to pay or to stop playing altogether.

It isn't like a grind doesn't exist in Diablo 3 if you're trying to really min-max your character.
 
It seems pretty bad on PC. Just underwhelming. Graphics are not very good, interface is meant for touch ... doubt I'm going to put much time into this at all. I don't play games on my phone so meh. I may check it out again eventually but I have no excitement for it after playing it for 30 minutes.
 
Not a big fan of the PC client. I can't scale the UI down and I can't force it into a 720p window so I can watch movies in another window.

I'd rather play on mobile w a controller

Yeah, it seems like it. That's the reason i don't really play Free to play games.
 
Haven't tried yet but will give it a go on pc tonight. Disappointed that impressions aren't great on that platform though
 
Wow! Characters are locked to a specific server and not to a region? That is incredibly stupid! This is Nintendo online level stupid.

How are we supposed to play with friends?

And the battle pass and microtransactions are tied to that specific character on a specific server?!

Why should I bother playing until this is fixed. If my friends start on a different server I will be screwed out of both time and money.

At that point I believe you have completed all the content and you're now in the end game grinding territory. As long as you play this game casually and you're not chasing leaderboards it seems fair other than the cosmetics and battlepass being character locked...Playing it just for free though it's very generous.

You have to all pick the same server, and yes, it's really stupid you can't freely move your character around servers at the bare minimum.

This is just a pure lie. You can keep playing even if you don't pay. What is your motive even?
 
Played for an hour on my iPad and it's absolute dogshit.

You want an extremtly linear Diablo with pointless loot that practically plays itself? Oh you also want to be bombarded with bullshit games-as-a-service checklists (be sure to log in every day to get your worthless junk!) and pay-to-win "best deal" marketing?

You're actually deranged if you're hyping this game.

Dear god man, have some self-respect!
So many other good games out there that deserve your attention much more and respect you as a gamer and as a customer.

How about you shut the hell up? It's just a mobile game. No one has their panties in a bunch except you. All of a sudden if people play a mobile game that features MTX that you don't have to buy, you don't have self respect.
 
Bounties need some fixing. Competing with other people for kills on limited spawns is not fun, even if monsters respawn in 20 seconds.

I mean, yes? These games are scams and they don't even have to hide it anymore because of people like you.

Babylon's Fall got absolutely demolished for this. This game deserves it just as much, if not more.

The reason why you are all acting so defensive is because you know how bad the microtransactions are.
You are the reason why games have gotten to the point that they are now applying gambling and casino strategies in order to prey on their customers. That's why you don't want to hear about it.

No actually it's just that no one gives a fuck and you're being annoying
