      0:30 "He's taken it out of context, the lowest point of 400!" - The highest point there is about 2k with the avergae being aound 5-700. Currently, the viewerships sits at around 400, with the top streamer having 40 odd concurrent viewers. Unless a single streamer with a sizeable following streams it, 400-700 is a fair average number. Showing the graph that shows the lowest point, and showing that is it not far off the average, is objectively NOT out of context, but rather the opposite. Context is included and the number itself is fair. That's 1, within the first 30 seconds. Let me know if you are unable to identify any others and I'll be sure to come help you out. @@dagowow

    Every time Quin says _"what people actually thought/did was X"_ what he means is _"I thought/did X"._
    He's screaming about this video being biased because what is said doesn't perfectly align with Quins experience of how the game was...aka Quin is just projecting.
    Not to mention he's an unrepentant contrarian. Before he saw the endgame he just had to keep saying _"it'll be fine, d4 will be good, just wait and see"_ 😂
    You could tell the game would be a marketing extravaganza and nothing else from the first cinematic. The Disney esque, teen friendly, _"darkness"_ and characters whos intentions are so easy to understand that you'd _literally_ have to be developmentally challenged to not follow whats happening. The _only_ hype part of it was Lilith apearing from the membrane.
    This was confirmed in the beta...anyone who thought d4 was going to be anything but d3.5 after that was delusional.
    There is no innovation whatsoever, there is no soul in the story, the gameplay is bland, the classes are bland, the _"darkness"_ is just spiders and blood and body parts wrapped in Disney friendly stories and scenarios. _The core of the game_ is designed to sell copies on launch and then milk console clowns who play 3h a week, morons who unironically batchest with their kids at seeing blood and spider webs. Nothing more and nothing less.
    D4 bad, forever.

No one preordered or bought the game.

    It's funny how they wanted to build the game similarly to Diablo 2, but they didn't take a page out of Diablo 2's book when it comes to items. Most classes had 1 unique item per item slot. So for example, a Druid could only get Penitent Greaves. So any time a druid sees unique boots drop, they already know what it will be. Now compare that to Diablo 2 where a druid would have 13 options for unique boots, and that's not even counting the set items which are just as powerful. The druid set boots in particular are a bis option for a lot of classes. That's just boots. There are 37 UNIQUE CHEST PIECES in Diablo 2. That's 37 options for just uniques, not counting set items. Compared again to Diablo 4 where nearly every class just has 1 unique chest option. That is the problem. Plain and simple. Players, myself included were assuming that all the uniques were coming in Season 1, but they did not, so the game died instantly, especially after the season mechanic turned out to be some 0.005% effort mini-mechanic.

    It's not about the lack of content... D2 has minimal end game content, yet it's still played over 20 years after release. The BIGGEST issue is that itemisation in D4 is an absolute skunk shit. There is 0 chance of D4 getting better if they won't scrap all the items and totally remake them and all the itemisation systems to something entertaining, interesting, rewarding, wanting us to replay even the same content over and over. Then they can add end game contet, which will make it even more enjoyable.

    You were saying that Blizzard did not intentionally do the battlepass bonuses that were "bugs"
    I don't think it was a bug for the gold cost to go up on things.
    I don't think it was a bug that they nerfed drops/exp/dmg by almost ~40% across the board and then magically a battlepass comes out to grind your way back to getting 8% of it back.
    I don't think it was a bug that they used the dark tunnel for ACTIVATING the battlepass.. i mean it went RIGHT to the option and didn't even confirm when other companies have been sued over this!
    The game is in BETA and we all know it, needs another 2 years of development. It'll be half way decent and hopefully not dog shit by season 28, just like Diablo 3.

Like great, when you have zero attack speed and fight 3-5 enemies at a time the game looks neat, but that has zero bearing on how the game scales into higher levels which is where the majority of time will be spent for customers willing to buy mtx or battle passes or whatever. Lo and behold, D4 comes out and people realise that the endgame is non-existent and the devs did zero work to create a robust and deep endgame players could aspire to.

    Dude, I caught a guy trying to steal my breast milk at work, no joke. It's a weird fetish thing. Whether that specific incident happened at Blizzard, idk, but it happens.
    All that aside, theComebackKids completely missed the boat entirely on what it was that made players desert D4: progression and combat feel. What I found myself doing was accruing an entirely new set of gear and paragon points before making the swap/allocating the points to get that dopamine rush of finally making headway against the mobs. I was also fighting mobs I was way under leveled for to simulate the kind of progression I was craving. I also found myself getting increasingly frustrated with resource and cool down management, because a lot of the reductions are RNG based (and God help you if it's some lucky hit bullshit) and I could never settle into a rhythm with my build. In PoE and D3, the best part of getting the core setup done for your build is that you stop having to consciously think about how your build works, your muscle memory takes over, and you can then focus entirely on what the mobs are doing. You guys will have to tell me if this is true of PoE, because I've only played a few leagues, but I know for sure in D3 that *any* mobility skill will break CC on your character, and in D4 this is quite obviously not the case. In other words, it never feels like your build has come together, or that it ever can.
    Now let's talk about a game that's actually good besides PoE: Elden Ring. The combat feel and progression of Elden Ring are some of, if not the most, satisfying in gaming history. You start out with a pathetic character that can barely do anything and end up a god slayer, and as you progress through the zones, you naturally find smaller objectives to work toward, whether it's getting the stat requirements to use a new weapon or spell, beating a boss that wiped his ass with you the first time, figuring out how to get the item you can see from the distance, progressing a quest line, etc. And as you meet those challenges, not only does your character get stronger, but you learn more, you gain more tools to solve problems, and become more skillful at the game, so that the next difficulty spike doesn't feel like bullshit. And yes, they reuse mobs, but they add mobs and give mobs new abilities to keep things fresh, and FromSoft's main bosses are the stuff of legend. PoE isn't better than D3 or D4 because it's more complex: it's better because the systems give you large goals made up of smaller goals that are achievable, and when you achieve them, result in progression you can feel, and the mobs keep getting harder not just in terms of numbers but in terms of mechanics to learn, but it doesn't feel bad because you can still apply what you've already learned, and you feel skillful tackling the new challenge with all the tools you've accrued throughout your play through.
    People are bored of D4 because they aren't getting their dopamine fix on time. It's as simple as that.

  • @arcc4
    @arcc4 11 місяців тому

    Quin doesn't understand that D4's content problem is the systemic result of its underlying poor design choices and not simply a matter of developers needing more time.
    For example, if PoE's loot pool worked how D4's did then it too would have massive content problems as most of the league content would become obsolete and irrelevant. Everything would effectively boil down to spamming what dropped the largest volume of high tier loot. No one would make character builds to do uber bosses if they lacked a high value/demand unique loot table.
    Also, D4 has another problem on the other side of the coin with its character systems and itemization. It's so top-down heavy that Blizzard devs are never going add meaningful additions to skills and items until an expansion. The whole reason PoE got to where to this point is due to it being bottom-up design with its tag system. GGG can basically plug-in-play skills, supports, items, and passive updates all with compounding effect on customization. D4 devs literally to add one skill that is useable have to integrate an update to a skill tree, add new items/aspects for power augmentations, and update the itemization affixes all for a fixed single build option for one class.

It literally just means "Make it as you go and adjust plans" rather than the Waterfall method which is "Plan literally everything down to the tiniest detail and never deviate from that plan even when it turns out bad".
      The real reason is that the companies want to make as much money with as little effort as possible. Game companies realized people would grudgingly buy unfinished or low quality products. So that's what they do now.

All that was visible. and i personally wrote it as a feedback. Even made a lot of suggestions how to improve things. (im also in the gaming industry so i know thing or two) Nothing changed.

    I have truly never witnessed a game that has so much relevant constructive feedback on more or less every aspect of the game… This game is a let down.
    Much of the game’s mechanics where already in D3 and they just added them in D4, yet they some how managed to make it worse and less enjoyable. Comparing it to a games like POE or BG3 who seem to actually be looking at solving all these “player issues” that take from the gamers enjoyment, whilst Blizzard just ignores the facts and diminishes their players/gamers/fans wishes, too grind hours out of them. What they end up getting are lots of frustration due to the fact that as a gamer you are forced to focus so much of your playtime doing things you don’t want to, just to be able to play the parts that you enjoy for a short period of time.
    This game (D4) was far from ready to be launched. As for now it needs a full on reboot, and some heart and love.
    Blizzard, don’t look at the short term payments players make for you to earn money, look at the long term investments that players are, that will keep the company, the legacy and the community alive, that will steadily gain you money as well.
