I’m going to be genuinely surprised if they somehow manage to mess this up completely. I know that sounds weird but this time it really feels like noting bad should happen

They fucked up overwatch 2. There is nothing these people can't fuck up.

I don’t know how they fuck up this game though man. Like there’s literally nothing about it beyond at most server stability they can reasonably do to piss off players at launch, that’s literally it they have every reason to not screw up. Blizzards massive, they already know they shock of terrible releases after the cancer that was immortal, Warcraft reforged and BFA, and a lot of the same team that was on dragon flight is working on this


If they somehow without any explanation manage to make this game anything resembling either of those god awful launches at that points it’s just impressive

Nothing has been as good as Diablo 2. Not 3, not the remake, not the iPhone app, not any of their other games or expansions. This company became a company obsessed with brand and shareholder profit above all else. It isn’t the 90s anymore. They aren’t letting people push the medium thinking it’s a break through. They have a formula. They will follow it. It will be shit. People will buy it. The cycle will repeat. Nothing has been good from blizzard in a very long time.

This is a concern and on should be skeptical, but we do need more data on what will actually show up.

We know there's going to be some sort of "battle pass" style feature, but the question will be what prices, content unlocked, and what will "missed" season/battle pass content be available later on if at all. However, given that Diablo 3 had a well regarded "Season" system that, while not leveled the same way a battle pass was, there is at least some precedent for how they could do it decently.

The biggest concern I have is if in addition to the pre order/special edition one off stuff + the battle pass/seasons, they'll also have some sort of purchased cosmetics/item mall or similar feature. That will definitely drop it down the toilet bowl, but if they avoid that path and don't fuck up the seasons/pass, it could come out at least decently as monetization is concerned.

Of course there are other concerns for game content and mechanics besides monetization For instance, the past two years has put Blizz titles in the hands of censor-happy political correctness advocates to distract from their now-settled court case investigation. I can hope that certain long standing elements or fun content of the past will not be sacrificed on the altar of twitter stereotypes making objections.

wrong, HotS is the best Blizzard game ever made.

I just hope the games casual like ds2. Not necessarily hard just generally quiet and relaxing where you can focus on just playing to have fun like what they did with dragonflight or what from did with making Elden ring generally free from random popups constantly

literal MOBA shit.

Update
Based of public perception by the community looks like the games in a good state and is well liked
Disappointed that they didn’t make common enemies or at least the player character just a little weaker to make the game easier to balance and make decision making outside of build creation matter more to the gameplay but that’s just me. A lot of diablo fans would prefer the causality of gameplay and from what I’ve experienced in d2 I’d want that to
