I think there is plenty of ground for both to be successful. PoE2 will probably have a larger playerbase if it follows the PoE model. Because, free.
I expect D4 to be more polished graphically. Because, more money going into it.
I will most likely play both.
Ban-Lu just doesnt match any of my mogs. And I absolutely can’t use a mount unless I feel I match outside of very specific circumstances.
Me and a friend, we played a game with our necros. We each had super summoning necros. We’d join random open games and see if we could lag out their connection.
Money doesn’t make games, people do. I trust the people at PoE, I don’t trust Blizzard. I wouldn’t put money on D4 being some killer graphics monster. It’s probably being developed with every console including this current generation and the next in mind. Not going to be pushing anything to the limit.
Blizzard should’ve done more like Sony I mean when they do work on the PS they NEVER got in a hurry or panic when Microsoft or Nintendo talks about their plans for gaming Sony takes the time and makes sure their stuff is ready to go when its launch time
after all remember years ago when Sega tried to beat Sony to market on the holidays by launching their “cutting edge” gaming console months before with the same $399 price? the president of Sony killed them with one word $299
Psn javazons were great for lagging people out. Worst thing I did was make a trap assassin in hardcore. If I could bait people out of town it was instant death.
Could you imagine how that would go down with GD? It would be an s-show. You’d have 29 polls all about nerfing dhs. Some for calling out players, and you get the idea. There’s a good reason we don’t get to make them, gd ain’t responsible enough.
but hey here a laugh after nearly 20 years out of circulation Sega has decided to try and reenter the console wars by launching the Dreamcast 2
seriously did they forget the trainwreck the original one was? it went down in gaming history as one of the worst consoles of all time it was actually hated more than the Virtual Boy and the Phillips CD-i
I am assuming we are referring to these two threads (correct me if I am wrong).
One is by Nethaera, the other is by Bornakk.
Nethaera almost entirely has posted “News” topics only. And many of them link to articles/guides. So a post by Nethaera for a guide for the cloak is actually in tune with what Nethaera does on the forums.
Last 4 posts by Nethaera? First Steps into WoW Classic, PVP Brawl : Hotmogu, BC TWing, WoW Classic Class Quests. All posts going to an article/guide concerning the topic. The most recent splurge was 9 days ago.
Bornakk is a bit different. He posted quite a bit regularly up until Jan 24th, posted about corruption effects changes on Feb 6th, then the thread being mentioned.
So neither one was gone for months. One showed up to do exactly what they’ve always done (guides).
So I am not sure I could draw the same conclusion based on that information.
The Virtual Boy was essentially a prototype that was put out for not having the N64 ready at the holidays. It would have been actually surprising had it sold well. Even Nintendo wasn’t sure about putting it out there.
The Dreamcast had a lot of bad decisions but they were also easy decisions to learn from and fix. Don’t use a proprietary disc, don’t have a crappy “It’s Thinking” motto, don’t kill your last console within months of release to push the new one, and most importantly, don’t give millions of dollars and bankrupt your company to put out Shenmui.
I actually owned a Saturn. Nights Into Dreams is still one of my favorite games of that era. Saturn was just not a good system for when it released, not compared to what it had to compete with.
I mean, it definitely could have been. When you are entering the slow cycle, it makes sense thats when you try harder to drum up continued interest.
They could also just be trying to gauge the popularity, the forum pulse of the system in a single thread. To see what aspects of it could be kept for Shadowlands.
