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 tried to get into MOBAs multiple times. Just reinstalled Dota 2 again (previously when I was still on Windows tried LoL). I don’t know what it is, but I just cant get into and play it. I like the idea of it though.

      Deadlock accomodates more playstyles, has builds to blindly follow to ease into the game mechanics and still have loads of fun

        I’m actually very interested into Deadlock. Got an invite when the game was new and it is what I imagined SMITE would be. The game has actual hero shooter elements and third person shooter like Marvel Rivals*, paired with the genre I am trying to get into. The reason why I do not play it is, because I don’t like playing Early Access games and wait for its official launch.

        * Edit: (Overwatch is first person not third, but it doesn’t actually matter)

          That’s fair. Matchmaking is not great, and quite a few balance issues exist atm. So there’s def benefits in waiting

      Likewise, Smite was my main flirtation with MOBAs, but I only really played the arena mode (which was admittedly fun)

        Mine actually too. lol. But it didn’t do it for me either, at least not in the long run.
