What have they become? I think most of the issues that have haunted them lately were related to people that worked on the games early on in their history and the culture that carried. I assume bad people can't hide there anymore with as much scrutiny that company has received. Or maybe your talking about the quality of games? I don't think Diablo Immortal is any indication of Diablo IV seeing as Diablo III is still releasing content without crazy monetization.
I look forward to Diablo IV personally. However I do feel that sense of nostalgia for the early Blizzard games. It's fun to see a post like this. Not sure the company is done with good content though. I still play their games a lot... I'm biased.
- atoav 4y agoIMO the sense of wonder and the defined dark aesthetics of both the worlds created for Diablo 1 and 2 are something Blizzard will have to proove it can still pull off.
- philistine 4y agoDiablo 1 and 2 were made by Blizzard North, a different group of developers than Blizzard. There's a reason Diablo 3 feels so different.
- Fnoord 4y agoD3 was initially also developed by Blizzard North. But then it got overhauled, multiple time. I'd say Diablo 3 became a good game... but it started out terrible. The RMAH has taught me a great thing though (something I should've learned by playing MtG back in the days).
- philistine 4y agoI mentionned that Diablo 3 feels different. Its art style and gameplay loop are both going in a different direction. It's quality has nothing to do with it.
- nonethewiser 4y agoThere is that... and then there is explicitly mocking the fans who wanted the dark/gritty asthethic.
- Fnoord 4y agoDo you have a smartphone though?
- Timshel 4y agoMonetization details for D4 were released it’s not pay to win but it’s cranked to the max : game purchase + dlc + cosmetic skin + paid currency + battle pass + paid battle pass upgrade ... I was vaguely interested in it but meh, guess if I need to scratch that itch I’ll test POE2 or relaunch d2r.
