    Sorry about the vid quality, can't record in Dev mode. Everything up to PS2/Wii, bar 3DS as can't emu that.

    If I ever get into the situation where my work machine ends up permanently in my possession, I'm thinking about turning it into an emulation machine.

    Is it good on console? I don’t have the time to play on computer but if it’s on my Xbox I might.

    I shouldn’t though. I really wanna play through Baldurs Gate.

    Why can’t I just win the lottery and be a house husband ffs.

    You can play on console but personally I find Diablo games a fucking drag if you're not playing with people.

    I would also argue it's designed for consoles first, as evidenced by the distinct lack of any sort of search functions.

    In any case I'd say you'll probably get your money's worth even if all you do is the campaign (and a bit of side stuff so you don't end up underlevelled for the latter parts of the campaign).

    Just ordered Diablo 4 on my PS5.

    I better like it.

    Edit: Didn't play much tonight as I spent ages picking my class and making my character. Early impressions are good though and that intro cinematic was lovely.

    Yeah it's banging.

    Played a bit more today and I'm now up to level 12. Died for the first time at the hands The Butcher who absolutely fucking destroyed me.

    Absolutely laughable with the ease at which he donned me senseless.

    Yeah I had a similar experience with an early Butcher. Your build hasn't come online at that point yet he's at full strength.

    I reckon if I had to sum it up, the game is great for the average player but a bit lacking for the minmaxers.

    I'm on the Diablo train and playing as a Necromancer, I have the idea of being sort of a melee fighter that heals by whatever blood magic spells you can. It works well against minions because of Blood surge but not so much against bosses so far (although I'm able to kill anyone on the same level.

    I went for a Rogue just for mobility and it's quite strong as it turns out, albeit very very squishy. Sort of fits the theme of an agile class surviving by always moving and avoiding hits rather than actual survivability I guess.

    My PC is where most of my backlog lives now so I've decided to make serious inroads into the Master Chief Collection. I quite like how they touched up Halo Anniversary Edition. I don't think there's a more satisfying pistol in gaming.

    The golden gun(assuming that counts as a pistol?) and the CoD4 desert eagle come to my mind other than the Halo pistol.

    I beat the best guy in the league to get to the finals. I was miles ahead in game 6 to win the series 4-2 and an incredibly basic fuck up lost me the game. Devestating.

    Oof. Still, second's alright. Do you get a payday out of that?

    Also, I've finished Halo. That escape sequence was a bit tight. Also, fuck the Flood. Still gets me wishing Marathon was going to be a single-player campaign thing. I do like Bungie's brand of space bollocks.

    No this was the qualifier for the payday. 4 seasonal tournaments and the winner of each one goes into a prize tournament.

    I'm at level 36 now, and still haven't left Fractured Peaks. As I'm usually something of a completionist when it comes to RPGs, so Diablo breaks my brain a bit in that everything respawns all the time. It's hard for me to resist a dungeon or an event when I come across it even if I've been down it before.

    My build now is basically all the Blood skills. I did use Bone Spear a lot but replaced it with Blood Lance recently to maximise Overpowering and Blood Orb drops, basically. So long as I remember to run around and pick up all the blood orbs I generate, my character is pretty unkillable (unless I get stunned and hit with some really powerful attacks).

    I sacrificed all my skeletons, and just run around with a Blood Golem that helps out a bit.



    It's all pretty fun, but I can't help but feel Necromancer is maybe not the best choice for the Campaign lore-wise, as you are basically the same as what you are fighting the whole time. But I also think I might have gotten just a little too far into the campaign now to start with a new character... And I can't figure what that would be anyway, but probably Barbarian.

    For what it's worth, finishing the campaign in one character lets you skip it on alts, but I guess that all depends on what you want to do with the game as a whole.

    How much mileage you'll get depends on what type of player you are. There's the ones that will level all the way to 100, which is quite the grind and then push nightmare dungeons (basically harder, quasi-infinitely scaling dungeons with affixes etc) and for the more casual player, if I was to guess you'll probably do a few of those and then just play a bit with a couple more systems that open up. Which Act are you at in the campaign?

    Here's my lad:



    Changed my skills up to more blood/bone spear and I'm a lot squishier than my previous build but the AOE damage I put out right now is pretty nutty.

    Finally completed Act I today, I keep getting side-tracker by smaller missions/cellars/events etc.

    Did you play it? I played Diablo 3 on release (real money marketplace says hi) but this is looks leagues above it. As did Diablo Immortal, which was insane for a "free" game, that also ran excellently on a phone.

    Literally everything you've posted about your Necromancer, I did on Diablo Immortal. From looking into it, it's obviously a lot more vast, but the classes and skill trees are identical.

    Looks awesome.

    I played Immortal for about 20 minutes, the intro didn't grab me. I only played it on phone, had I played it on PC I probably would have liked it more.

    Never played Diablo 1-3.

    I love the scale of the bosses in Chaos Gate. I like it when turn based things do this, same with the Gears Tactics final boss.

    Also enjoyed that it let me man a crane and swing it into the fucker on the most recent one I did.

    Just finished Act 1. I'm at level 43 now. I've explored most of Fractured Peaks, but somehow only gotten 13/25 Aspects, even though I'm pretty sure I've gone through all the Dungeons on the map. Actually I'm a little confused as to how the map works because sometimes you see things on it and sometimes not, and it doesn't help you much in saying where you haven't been yet.

    What's your Basic Attack skill? I had the shadow scythe at first which I liked a lot, but it didn't synergise well with my other blood skills so switched to Hemorrhage which is fantastic as it leaves blood orbs everywhere (so if you are squishy that is the way to go tbh). It's just the attack animation is a little meh.

    But basically the way my build is done is my attacks Overpower a bit all the time, which makes everything quite fun.

    Cellars will only show on the map when you're in the area. There's also the fringe case where you can see a dungeon or something on the minimap, but it's part of a subzone you haven't discovered yet so it doesn't show on the map. As for the aspects, the dungeon icon will have a little chest-thingy on the bottom right if you haven't done it.

    You still have tons left campaign-wise.

    Hemorrhage as well.

    The previous build I was using had skeletons as well as mages but the new one only has mages hence the squishiness as I'm targetted more.

    Had a really strange bug today:




    They were stuck in the wall and I killed about 6 enemies including an elite. When I stopped to save the video the skeleton managed to teleport through.

    There's all sorts of mobs stuck like that typically close to Altars of Lilith. My guess is they are meant to spawn when you approach to ambush you, but something is off in the code.

    The previous build I was using had skeletons as well as mages but the new one only has mages hence the squishiness as I'm targetted more.
    So sacrificing the Mages gives you like 40% more overpower damage which is really nice if you keep finding ways for your attacks to overpower, which is quite easy with a Blood build.

    Unfortunately I had the madcap idea that a sealed copy of AEW Fight Forever might end up as a bit of a collectors item, before playing it and realising it is very bad.

    So now I have an expensive paperweight that is depreciating in value every week.

    Half the most valuable games out there are shite. If it isn't mass produced and doesn't sell you might make a little profit down the line.

    I don't think Fight Forever would've got that big a print run. As more people switch to digital, the physical stuff might be considered more collectible.

    The only things I've got of any value seem to be Gamecube games and Yakuza 2.
