I imagine any industry would suck if the work was soul crushing, your bosses were micro managing you to death, you don't feel like any of the stuff you're working on will amount to anything, and you don't see your family or friends.

When Activision purchased Blizzard everyone knew this would eventually happened.

Impressive it took them a mere 10 years to completely gut the company into a soulless shell of its former self.

It's not the same company anymore. Every single founder is gone. Every single person who created all their flagship IP's is gone.

The only people left there are Acitivision goons, some purple haired SJW types, and a smattering of poor souls who thought they were gonna get to work for an awesome gaming company.

I still don't think Diablo 4 reveal is going to go over well. They cancelled a project to move people to the Diablo 4 team after the immortal backlash. That's a bad sign that they're rushing to have enough for an announcement.

It resurfaced yesterday and made #2 on reddit after the overwatch 2 leak came out because it's the 3rd thing in his post that has now come to be correct. It isn't bullshite.

Overwatch 2 pisses me off. I wish they'd just keep that a PvE game and continue to add to the current Overwatch game where I have all of my cosmetics. If OW1 just dies I won't be very happy.

Man I am so disappointed about D4. Also no mention of the rumored d2 remaster so I’m guessing that was all rumor. I guess I’ll just play D2 occasionally until I’m dead

As someone who logged well over 1k hours on d2/d3 I have to say I'm 100% out if that's the direction they take D4



Same, and throw in D1/Hellfire for me.

We would be happy if they literally just used the D2 engine. And the initial plot should be to find a way into Hell to retrieve Leah’s soul.

The player character is a Nephalim who has set foot in Heaven, so the next logical step is to finally go into Hell itself.

My understanding that being a game dev and being a special effects engineer are roughly the same.

Awesome sounding job.

Absolute dog shite in real life.

Do we know when the session they would announce the next wow expansion is, if there will be an announcement? That's typically immediately after the opening, or during the opening ceremony, right?

That D4 plot sounds worse than mass effect 3


ME3 didn’t have a bad plot. Before all of the DLC and Extended Cut, the ending was terrible, but the plot was quite good. And with DLC and EC, the ending is lackluster, but no longer really detracts from the plot itself.

The internet echo chamber concerning how “bad” ME3 was is absurd.

Agreed. I've played through the entire series several times. ME3 had a meh ending but I don't think the internet fanboys were going to be satisfied unless there were alien orgies and a way to keep Shepard alive at the end.

You’ll need mods for the former, but the EC took care of the latter, at least kinda

It is at least 90% bullshite. The Diablo 4 bit about it being first person and built on the OW engine as a shlooter is just ridiculous.

This 'leak' (which based on his post history has a good shot at being legit) indicates it is not a first person shlooter, but typical Diablo style ARPG.

Also, why would the fill the first person 'void' left by Destiny with a first person Diablo made in the overwatch engine if they are making Overwatch 2? They are just cannibalizing their own marketshare with 2 live service FPS games (in the same engine, no less) which makes 0 sense.

I actually did two full DLC vanilla playthroughs back to back not too long ago. Will probably revisit in a few years with some heavy mods/texture packs once computer hardware has continued to advance.
