The Queue: The fact is, I still love Diablo 4

There are a lot of options if you want to play a Diablo game right now. Diablo 2: Resurrected for people who crave the most iconic and most famous ARPG in existence, Diablo 3 if you want to play a very fast paced, very entertaining game about exploding demons, Diablo Immortal if you want to play Diablo 3 on a train or in a doctor’s office (and please try not to scream in triumph when you crush demon heads) — but for me, I keep coming back to Diablo 4.

Maybe it’s because I can customize the character to a level never before seen in a Diablo game. Maybe because I find the current state of gameplay to be fascinating and extremely fun — my Paladin was an absolute blast to play and now my latest Barbarian has hit upon a build that absorbs so much damage, guys. I’m legit astonished.

It’s the Queue. I love Diablo 4, so smash another hellspawn’s cranium baby.

Here are a couple:

• Split Fiction — I keep hearing this game is awesome but I have never gotten a chance to try it out. I still need to convince my wife to try it out with me.
• Absolum — I’m not a big fan of side scrolling beat ’em ups, but this one looks really interesting and colorful.
• South of Midnight — I keep saying I want to see new, original games. This is that. I really need to play it soon.

Yes.

I mean, seriously, it’s a yes or no question and the answer is yes.

My cat Sasquatch is the most incredibly athletic and yet anxiety ridden cat I have ever seen. One evening, I heard a weird scraping sound and for once, Sasquatch ran right towards it. I expected it to be nothing.

Instead, it was a recently escaped snake trying to get out of my wife’s office. Had I not gone to check on it, it would likely have ended up as a dead snake. And keep in mind, it wasn’t a small snake, it was a boa. And my terrified little cat was fully willing to step up and annihilate him, while he was just trying to get to a warm place.

I’m sorry I had to cut your full post, it was very detailed and explained your argument very well. I’ve linked it so people can be sure to read the whole thing.

Now, on to my problem with the whole Demon Hunter I’ve sacrificed everything, what have you given? line is pretty simple and it’s summed up in a line I read in a history book years ago. It’s from a speech given by General George S. Patton just before the D-Day Invasion of France to begin the drive to Germany.

No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

So for me, when I hear a Demo Hunter ask that question, I immediately answer with some variation of that line. What have I given? Nothing. I make the enemy give things. Their resources. Their lives. Their hope for victory. You expect to die fighting. I expect them to die fighting. I expect to win. 

I think Demon Hunters are extremely cool and they have great lore in the setting and I especially like that question about sacrifice, but at the same time, it immediately makes me think of Patton’s speech. You go ahead and sacrifice everything. I’m going to go kill the Legion.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, around 110 GB with all of the DLC. Diablo 4 would  be next with close to 100 GB, but that’s because I downloaded the deluxe graphics packs. Baldur’s Gate 3 is currently uninstalled to make room.

Okay, that’s the Queue for today. Am I crazy for wanting an ARPG where you could choose to play as a Dinosaur? Like, a T. rex Barbarian, or a Ankylosaurus Paladin, or what have you?
