This is the first Diablo game that I’ve uninstalled within a year of getting it. The fact that it’s only been a couple months and it got worse not better makes this worse. It’s a seriously flawed game, and expansions won’t help it.
I played the demo and had a decently fun time with it. I probably would have bought it if it was like $50-$60. Of course it releases at $80 for the base version and no price drop since. Then comes the talk of the grindiness, now this. Just a bad deal all around.
The $80 pricetage made me not even consider it. Especially when you know they’re going to milk as much cash out of you as they can for expansions/DLC or anything else.
What happens if you buy that and then cancel GamePass? Do you keep the game? Just the upgrade? Or do you lose everything? Do you get it back if you resubscribe?
Well it’s just the upgrade that they’re buying. So they’d just have the DLC without the game. Kinda like if you bought a game’s disc, then bought the upgrade, then sold the disc. Basically no access to anything that requires the game to load up.
You’ll lose access to the game but you’ll still own the DLC/expansion. If you resub on gamepass then you’ll have access to the game and the DLC you owned again.
I get it Roleplaying games are the Hot shit, and im more them happy to welcome everyone into a great and fullfilling Hobby, but at the same time it feels like the market is saturated. In last 2 years alone ive seen the annoucement of whole RPG Systems by:
*The witcher
*dark souls
*gloomhaven
*assasins creed
*Stormlight Archive
*Candela Obscura by Critical role
And those where just the ones that reached my ear.
On the other Hand im All for more diversity in the TTRPG community, currently D&D takes way to much space for how Bad the quality of offical books is.
I may be going crazy, but wasn’t this game in development hell by another company, then changed companies mid-development and has stayed in dev-hell since?
Yeah, it was almost close to release and apparently it was a tire fire. Who knows how much of the original they kept. I really hope it’s good, the first bloodlines was a blast if you ignored or modded out the bugs.
… or, you know, you could just match them with eachother and some bots, so they don’t realize anyone is onto them, don’t ruin the experience for others, and still get to play what they’ve paid for(sorry if DoTA2 is f2p … but even there, the best players will usually have spent some money).
Robot Warfare on mobile seems to do something like this(you’ll find references to “AI Hell”/“bot hell” on reddit). Part of what players don’t like about it is that you’ll have maybe one, usually none, lower-ranked human player besides yourself on your team, and the opposing team is usually all bots or all noobs, so you either shoot fish in a barrel or invent challenges/handicaps for yourself.
When I would let my daughter play on my account while I built up hers so she would have a good “mech” or three(she still doesn’t carry matches or get more than a few kills if any, but surviving to the end of a match with her dad on her team is a big deal for a 7yo), I would find my account stuck like so for a good while. Honestly prefer it to playing with the super-competitive “elite”, who all use the same OP bot and play he same ways as eachother(I legit prefer the smaller/weaker/faster mechs … ones where I often would be the first to run out of lives in a higher-teir game).
EDIT: removed the s at the end of bot. There’s one bot specifically that the Pay2Win wannabe’s spam.
The headline doesnt make any sense. It crossed 230k CONCURRENT (playing at the same time right now) on steam. That does not mean that 230k players have bought the early access. They have probably more than a million or two early access players at least between xbox and pc (both steam and microsoft store) to have those numbers on steam alone in concurrent players.
They’re jumping into a very crowded space, one where Valve is the first-to-market. That said, Valve is good at proving a hardware market viable and then flubbing at actually dominating it (VR, PC set-top boxes) so I could see somebody like Lenovo winning at this.
I’m kind of surprised they went for the Switch/Tablet form-factor for this instead of targeting the phone scale, but Lenovorola already cratered at trying to do this as a phone once before (Moto Z with the gamepad mod).

It seems like every one of these new handhelds is trying to have the best specs in the market no matter what. The ROG Ally was sold as a more powerful steam deck, and now the Legion Go comes in with a better screen and battery. It does seem really big, though.
The Logitech G-Cloud is similarly top-specced and pricy, although iirc it’s supposedly more lightweight and comfortable than its counterparts. It’s getting very crowded in that space, I don’t envy any of these companies that jumped onto this band wagon and found everybody else doing the same thing at the same time.
I’ve tried using gamer-clips on my phone and the top-heavy weight distribution makes them uncomfortable despite the lower-mass of phone+controller, so I can see how that would be a design challenge. I still wish Lenovorola had stuck to it harder with the Moto-mods, but I suppose the death of the Atom processor line and Windows Phone means that any such device would have to be Android, and gamers want x86-64 PC-compatible devices, and that’s probably not doable in a phone form-factor.
I’m eyeing the GPD Win Mini right now. It’s not out yet and I’m waiting for reviews but it looks like a comfy small handheld with great specs. Not quite a phone form factor but it’s close enough. May be close to what you’re looking for.
Ooh, that’s neat! My only complaint looking at it is that they didn’t figure out some place to put a right-side thumbpad for a better mouse-mode. Joystick mouse emulation is a miserable solution, and the central thumbpad is too far for gaming (ask anybody who played Mario 64 or Metroid Hunters on the DS). My dream machine would be to use the old Blackberry trick of making the right-side of the keyboard able to masquerade as a touchpad (you literally run your thumb along the keyboard and it’s a pointing device), add a face-toggle-button to switch between mouse-mode and keyboard mode, and then add a scrollwheel shoulder-button.
Valve wasn’t first to market by a long shot. Valve was the first to offer a great price and a great operating system. But the general category of devices existed long before the Deck. They just were fucking expensive.
