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.
Tbh I’m the same as Mohab, I strongly prefer third person over first person. First person makes me feel claustrophobic bc the screen is just so much smaller than an actual first person FoV would be (maybe this would be better in VR). Also it stresses me out that I can’t see what’s sneaking up on me from the sides or behind. I even played Oblivion in 3rd person (with a summoner build so I didn’t have to aim).
💯
I already have an issue with games like Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden flinging shit at me from off screen, I can’t put up with having a 180 degree blindspot on top of that.
Also, depth of perception becomes a massive issue; platforming in first-person is a nightmare… I can’t make out where I am in 3D space half the time 😅
