Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they’re online only and I almost can’t be bothered to go through that. I’ve beaten it a long time ago.
And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they’ve made that online-only as well. Like, I know I’m always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can’t afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can’t do that with online-only games because it’s like being gated away from something you bought.
So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.
I’m with you on this. It sometimes feels like those who play multiplayer games have a different schedule.
When WoW Classic launched I tried to play it with a friend. But all they did were raids. Raids at dinner time, raids for four hours straight, raids every day. If I’d play with them, I won’t even have time to make dinner nor have the time to eat, sometimes I wasn’t even home when they begin their raids. It didn’t feel like gaming at all, just another chore. And I was told it was the vast majority of players. I remembered it has good would-building when I played the earliest release back at school, but I didn’t realize most people play it in a mind-numbing way.
