Diablo 4 Devs Don't Know How To Play Their Own Game 

yep

Fuckin finally someone else said it lol

That and the other diversity boxes being checked. People will comment on their hair and looks and they'll use that as well to broad brush customers as bigots

Actually a real possibility.

And thats why asmon shut that shit down. And addressed that blizzard is throwing them under the bus.

Yep this is wokeness for you. Nothing but political agendas

🙏

It's got to be worth at least 5 ESG 'good boy' points though so there's that...

@@rescyn1190 ESG: The real 'ultimate evil'.

Yep. Wokeism ruins literally everything, even video games. I dont get it

You aren’t wrong lol. The dungeons while looking cool can be awkward with placement of enemies shrines etc. so it’s possible like asmond said puzzle pieces not fitting together

Those two are not designers; they are diversity hires. This is why the game industry sucks.

It would feel really good for sniper and engineer, long tight corridors

Generally you don't know what responsibilities they have. They could be responsible for visuals of the dungeon and not for layout. Dungeons are generated from multiple pieces, whose pieces and the rules of generation could be planned by some level designers. And this girls are just take whose plans and decorate them with a game graphics.

Basic competence can't get in the way of inclusivity!

Westwood was great. I bet you played their old C&C titles.

@@KratostheThird One of them. Unfortunately it was for a short time. Most of the games I had to test were games that never made it to market, were completely unknown or childrens games.

@@vertisce2845 Westwood went out a long time ago, so you’re likely much older than Asmongold himself is. I just remember Westwood being under EA, and the quality started taking a nosedive.

@@KratostheThird True. I was actually let go because of the EA buyout. EA didn't believe in using paid testers at all. If I recall it wasn't too long after the test I did of the one C&C title I got to test and I think it was Tiberian Sun. I can't quite remember. Late 90's. 1998 or thereabouts.

@@vertisce2845 I enjoyed Tiberian Sun. StarCraft hogged the spotlight however. Thanks for sharing your story.

holy shit

Well spotted! Just makes this video even more sad lol

oooooooooooof

hand thing could easily be an editing mistake. It wouldnt be 'necessary' to sync the gameplay there in that shot.

lmfao from faking questions to faking gameplay these dev streams are pure gold

I wouldn't be surprised if the art is 95% outsourced. It's more common than you think. Not saying it's a bad thing to outsource work but. It's just the way it is.

The art is pretty mid. The character design has females that look just a little better than Fallout tho way better than sjw mortal kombat. But yea... Western Devs are gonna suck for the next 10 years. Buy Japan Korean and now China games. They dont have the same social issues preventing them from making awsome games with hot chicks and great stories.

A quick google search of their linkedIn shows that they are the people who work on the art and design of diablo 4, it seems like both of them graduated from universities that were teaching art and game art design so they both probably had no input in the raw numbers or how the game felt. Dini McMurry = senior dungeon designer but graduated from an art university and her portfolio is of very similar games which were really good like Tyranny, pillars of eternity, Fallout NV, Outer Worlds, the really good games that have dungeons in time. Josey Meyer = dungeon designer but graduated from an Art and Media university, portfolio shows that she worked on UI/UX and level layout/Set Dressing(probably means doodads placement and how make the dungeon look nice) 2 people who have probably close to 0 direction the patch notes took and were place out for an easy target lol. EDIT: ok after looking at credits of different games, these 2 names are not even in D4's 9000++ named individuals in their credits, for level design there's only 3 names listed which is really weird when you compare the smaller scales of games like Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 having 7 and 9 designers respectively. This feels like the focus on D4 was def not in the level design and more on making a new engine and marketing with a ton of outsourced work which may reflect on its poor design choices as someone in a similar industry, trying to work with more than 30 people is a nightmare, i can't imagine working with more than 1000 people.

@@GGXStraightUp Asian companies have the same issues as western companies, only a different choice of words. I say it as I workED for a huge chinese game company that I won't say the name, it was run like absolute trash. it worked because they had a ton, ton of money (edit: and treat employe like trash cough cough) I work for a western company now (i'm in the art department) and I always feel bad when I read comments adressing problems of game to dev or artist. those guys are passionate and very, very good at what they do. you don't enter the game industry and blizzard if you are bad, trust me. It's hard to get into a shitty mobile game company on it's own. the problem is always...above because money

well sometimes their art department cucks the game designers from implementing game changes they don't feel look good in the game, even if its better QOL for the players. at least that's what happened to heroes of the storm and we heard that from their team. so the art department at blizzard is good and has a loot to say about how the game is looking and gameplay as well

yea that's great Blizz, where's the good game at.

Yes. It's not that they ARE women. It's that they HAVE to be women.

​@@EnterHacker well said

That isn't true. These two were picked because they're representative of the company. The game development industry may be 73% men, but blizzard reports their workforce as 75% women. Blizzard HR is more interested in hiring pronouns than hiring talent.

@@monarchcoyou’re kidding right? 75% women? So much for equality, that’s ridiculous. Number should be 50%.

You aren't lieing they got diversity hires who suck at games heading development

if you had brain and actually know anything about gaming, you would know right away after first gameplays/information that this game won't be good. It was released 2 years too early, with a lot of design issues and bad decisions. You didn;t even have to play the game in beta to see this.

Oh god that video was terrible. At least two people playing the game at least.

They dont know wtf they are doing and now we have a video proove of it...

Imagine being on copium after copium and still trying a blizz game. How many shitgames you guys still need to stop giving them money?

When you see how they look there's 90% chance they're incompetent and are there just for diversity.

they aren't even playing the game. they are just looking at a recording of gameplay, if we can count spamming A the entire time as "gameplay", and reading from a teleprompter, which you can see in the reflection of her glasses. heck, they're even lifting their hands to gestikulate but their characters magically are still using abillities bound to the buttons they are clearly not even touching at the moment!

Everything that needed to be said, why hire the student devs who had straight A’s innovation and Witt. Instead DIVERSITY we also hire dropouts and F students to make the best game possible! Even better the F students are American and all FAILED English their own language YEAH!

@@theennin MURICA, LAND OF THE *PROUD* AND FREE

Nah, as stated by some, these are diversity shield, as any criticism on how they button smash, don't know you can hold, don't know how to use other skills, playing in tier I, etc..., will automatically be called an ist and anti-that...

Cool story. I would like to see you do a live stream playing the game while being interviewed and questioned on your contribution to the overall game

Playing a game while talking about your job ? I don't know what kinds of cognitive problems you face everyday but don't drag uncompromised people into this by suggesting this would be a hard task. IF any of your bot answers had some sort of resonance with reality one might think that "oh, perhaps there IS some resemblance of competence within the community ?" But if you, as bots are incompetent as well... You are being arrogant towards the people you want to sell the game to... ?? @@robbytherob

And suggesting that speaking about the game you are playing, as a developer is "difficult" ? I can't let this go dude... A person could talk about his engineering job at NASA while being involved in a much more complicated simulator game. But apparently talking about the game you are creating is not only too much to ask but also has something to do with what @davidsha81 said. @@robbytherob - My question to you is: Do you even understand english ???

​@robbytherob bruh what... lmaoo that wouldn't be a problem at all. I could easily get interviewed while destroying a dungeon lol

Lightning rod perfectly sums it up. The 2 people they specifically chose for this, the way they play, the way they talk....extremely obvious outrage bait with zero subtlety.

You can always have employees role play as trolls and get the same outcome. Blizzard actually encourages this and some other larger studios do as well to control their image, and hide behind NDAs to make sure employees don't snitch on these underhanded tactics

So glad I play Grim Dawn!! So much better almost in every way than this crappy fake AAA title! I uninstalled D4. Thankfully I have GD too!

God damn you guys are bitter lol

@@lich109 the games that women play tend to be very, very casual, like mobile games and the like

The designers in general are the reason people are upset with the game. The problems with the game lie in the number tweaking and systems, not how the game looks or actually functions for the most part. Outside of the stashtab implementation but i have a feeling they were actually forced to write the code that way for the sake of future cash shop goodies.

Also the audacity to say "I think I'm an average gamer".

@@NeonValleys I hear you but there's another layer under that the future cash shop goodies existing are the only reason why the designers are bad. Because of the game wasn't based around trying to rope in weak-minded people into buying addictive cosmetics and what-have-you, then the game would be relying on its gameplay alone as it's only defining feature of whether it's worth playing or not. It might sound crazy but I honestly believe that if this game didn't have the battle pass and the purchasable cosmetics there would be even less people playing it. Which would mean that the game would have had to have been better outside the gate in order to make money instead of the whole thing being some sort of MKUltra capitalist wallet extraction project. They have realized that they don't actually need the game to be really good to make a ton of money off of it. And they can promise to improve it and play mind games with us trying to swing back and forth between giving us what we want and making us want more all the wild he's weak-minded people are just blindly purchasing the stupid things they have in their stupid Cash store of their stupid game that is a stupid game that is stupid

@@youtubeenjoyer1743 what? It designs dungeons. Specifically just dungeons. How is that so hard to understand? A "game designer" is a much more broad term and refers to the people that design the mechanics of the game. A dungeon designer is just a level designer. It really doesn't get much more simple than that I'm not sure what your confusion is based around

@@Akispark if I ran a game there's no way I'd let somebody design levels if they weren't actually involved in testing the levels to come capacity. There may be times when they literally dont get that luxury but at some point they would be able to play it, make notes, and make changes if needed. Long long long before it's even in alpha stage.

It's all about diversity and equity. Meritocracy is being strangled to death.

@@TheJeevo92 so women don't want to make games?

@@TheJeevo92 spot on

@@Katsura_ja_nai_Zura_da it doesn't matter if they want to make the games or not. only the best people for the job should be hired and those 2 women playing the game are clearly not.

They said they play-tested eachothers dungeons, so while you’re right, they should know the bare minimums, like the abilities lol.

It's happening sooner than you think. Publisher's are hemorrhaging money lately. They don't have a political agenda they'll support whatever agenda makes them the most money which was identity politics for the last 10 years. Nowadays more and more people are fighting back against this shit and companies will support the side that gives them the most profits

Thank god someone saw it lol. You dont put hours of work into a project just to have someone else come along and continue where you left off. That's contractor style bullshit. 0 communication between departments it sounds like and 0 communication between developers. Using bulletin board notes to create a game just sounds like a nightmare.

​@@wdf70haha, reminds me of a place I worked at where the philosophy was to make your code obvious wnough that you shouldn't have comments in it. Lofty goals, but not very likely to always work as well as you think as not all coders are created equal...

Goes hand in hand either diversity.

I’ve been telling a friend of mine for a month now that it doesn’t feel as if the people we see give updates are the ones that developed the game with how blatantly bad a lot of their decisions are. Feels like I was heading in the right direction with my claim.

"Brah I'm such a God!! Use my level 92 Storm Wolf on WT1 dude"

They straight up disrespected the Art Team with this "final product" they threw at us.

Aye

The art team showed up, got to work and nailed it. Looks like the gameplay team was slacking off and letting kids do the math for resistance balancing and the season pass… 666 credits and absolutely NOTHING to buy with them… BUT WAIT! Play the Season TWICE and youll earn enough for SEASON THREE! 🤦🏼‍♂️💀

@@xXdnerstxleXx nice red herring... the art team did a commendable job while those responsible for game design are an embarrassment has zero to do with protecting anyone - it's about giving credit/kudos to the small few who did good work

While sucking up to China, they adopted some Chinese cultural habits. One of them being "half-ass everything as long as it looks legit at first glance". Them pretending to play the game (they are not if you look closely) and pretending to have a real conversation (they are not, they are reading from a teleprompter) makes Blizzard look more competent than they actually are.

That’s dope

my kind of game, i'll try it now ty

I've never heard that. I do know Miyadzaki beat the game with summons, but I never heard about the team beating it with a knife.

It was fun the 1st time you did it :D

a failure of many games i think ppl call it the zoom zoom style of play like diablo 3, like poe

On the bright side, the dev team is diverse and inclusive.

I am already doubting that the "Dev team" are actual game devs at this point lmaooooo....

they hire based on diversity and NOT talent

Very diverse. Much strength.

Who else are they going to get to work there now? Noone good wants to work there especially with the compensation and having to live near a hellhole.

That’s the reality now. Job market is upside down

This is the true reason AAA games suck now. Hiring fresh out of college deviantartists larping as real game devs.

@@MaximusLigmus that's not the issue, the issue is that they are hiring people that are just chasing the money and have no passion for their job. Nothing wrong with hiring fresh out of college. What's wrong is hiring fresh out of college where that person had to lie on their resume to get an entry level position or an associate position. "Associate Position" is an associates degree position. Hiring fresh out of college is a good thing if they are given a proper entry level position with training. That's the issue, they don't offer training anymore and nearly all entry level positions that I see are asking for 2-4+ years of experience. What kind of bullshit is that? Another thing that hurts is people taking advantage of diversity hire rather than hiring people that have talent and passion. Hiring someone from college with a degree shows commitment since they spent 4 years getting their degree so it's safer to invest in them. I think jobs need to start checking degrees, verifying it, posting realistic entry positions, have evaluations tests, offer training, and if they are hiring people without degrees and only certifications from bootleg institutions. Then they need to start asking for a portfolio and verify the work done. I have applied to multiple entry level positions and can't land a job, meanwhile I see these shit chasing-money people taking the jobs and shitting the bed on the position. It's infuriating seeing these talentless people with 0 passion getting into tech jobs just because it "pays good". All that's left for me is to lie on my resume just like these shitty people.

Yes a close friend of mine for almost two decades is in a team management role for a gaming company and he says most of the crop coming in even the past five or six years has zero passion for gaming and it's just they heard it's a growth industry that takes any sort of tech degree and so it's just a job to them.

It has always been done like this. The problem is the people calling the shots, not the people designing parts of the game.

Gamers play games. They don't have time to make them. It is what it is.

Son: Mooooommm i want to plays my games but antie and her friend are still playing for hours.... Mom: No no no honey go do your homework, let antie play your damn games with her friend. Both are singles and over weight, hav some pitty

​@ironwolf56 I hate people who say that. I knew a female in the army who said the only reason she got into IT is the the money and had no idea how to do her job

She looks like she has "Come to My Window" as a ringtone. Lets the phone ring out every time so she can hear the lesbo anthem play out.

It gets super fucking tiresome, doesn't it? The stereotypes are killing me dude

@TheRealJonster they were probably hired for their talents and skills, I bet. God knows what the rest of the dev team look like. Then later in the video, they actually have the nerve to say its super great when everyone has a different opinion because the games come out better lmao. I bet if you snuck into their office and shouted trump, you'd start a stampede of fat lesbians rushing for the emergency exits

@@TheScience69 unfortunately, I believe you are right. And whether you are an artist or designer, you absolutely should be able to play the game at a high level and be proficient at it. Everything is connected in a video game. You cannot possibly make smart and innovative game designs if you don't understand how to play off mechanics well etc.

@TheRealJonster well from certain things they said, im pretty sure the younger one literally just got hired and therefore barely did anything for the game. The older one flunked out of college, answered a sketchy ad in the paper to learn to make games and she's now a senior dungeon designer. I googled her and can't find anything like a list of other games she's worked on so it seems like diablo is first, and it doesn't sound like she's been working on it all the way through development either. That says a lot about their hiring practises.

Don't kid yourself. Blizzard revealed that their entire review process is broken. The game was rotten from the top down, not up from the bottom. That's why the art and other work intensive aspects are amazing, but the seasons and broader philosophy just doesn't work right now.

They did those people a service actually. Hopefully they will end up at Riot or Larian.

diversity quotas are enforced through the legal system. They are no joke.

a good dev or art designer or whatever does not need to play the game. single dev also not responsible for outcome of a huge project like that. dont project your anger on them bro :P

@@Hammybread you are not required to spend a single dime in league of legends, been playing for 5 years, never spent a cent that is the difference this is a 70$ game

This should’ve been the only comment here ngl. These two are so dull 😭

The dev telling us they weren't always making games was so informative and info I was looking to know /s

That was the goal, the video is 100% outrage bait. Just look at the 2 people they specifically chose to put on camera. It's WAY too obvious and they're going to use the blacklash as a way to deflect criticism about people just hating women/diversity/etc or some bullshit.

Its easy. If you see any indiciation of woke garbage in game trailers, dont buy it.

It's been common knowledge for at least 10 years that pre-ordering games is a bad idea.

Blizzard has more than enough footage of people like this at their company. You're a brand loyalist to a company that died a decade ago and constantly faling for marketing campaigns. It's your own fault.

Zim/ Zey

You're being generous thinking they have knowledge.

Or an old one, as long as they have experience that's proveable it should be fine. These people however, i...suspect, have been poor at video games (Like alot of wow players) For decades, and haven't ever improved, then jumped into designing. THey never get to even a decent level. Which is why in games like wow, only a few GM's ever have been even 2400 (Holinka being one of them) But most of the others never even approaching it, or trying to push in pvp. They lack real understanding or depth. 2400 isn't even a high number, its pretty average.

Well I don't expect everyone in development to play the game. Art, music, voice acting and some can work just fine

Ya gta style where it tracks everything.

Can confirm this. Its sad. Some.companies therefore ask lots of questions about their own games and playing habits now. Like GGG and other quality employers. Blizz doesn't do that. They are not an attractive employer either.

I absolutely agree with your general point, however I wouldn't even call these people casual gamers. I myself am far from what one would consider a hardcore gamer. But if I had the chance to craft a game, I would at least have an idea what makes games fun for me and what mechanics I would want to implement to make a good game for the player. Like you said, the problem is that most of these people don't play at all

I hate when someone picks a career when they aren’t even into it.

I've always felt like a dirty secret of AAA game development is that very few of them actually play videogames anymore. This is almost certainly the case when it comes to the senior level staff, leadership, and decision makers. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if a fair number never really played in the first place. I mean, it is understandable that the absolute last thing they probably want to do when they get home from work, is to play videogames, or even engage with anything related to videogames. That being said, this state of affairs still has a huge and unavoidable impact on game development. I think it is one of the main reasons game developers are so out of touch with the desires and perspectives of the people who play their games, and the videogame community as a whole. This disconnect seems to have also magnified the "us vs them" mentality and outright contempt many game developers seem to have for the people who play their games.

Can also confirm this, even as low down as the QA testing, the majority of testers don't care at all

100% this is designed as a shield. Hell this could be the ENTIRE REASON they were hired. Its a tried and true method by hacks to change the conversation from where they fucked up to how these people are fucked up.

And I mean, its working, just look at this comment section alone and I would guesstimate that around 80% of the comments are either straight up openly mysoginistic or are trying to hide it, while still being it.

@@jcr1766 imagine thinking that, because we're shown and told to believe that these women are top devs on this game, people criticizing the women for being so bad at a game they developed is mysoginistic or whatever delusion you are accusing them of instead of just being a clear cut example of two women who are obviously bad at their job and don't understand the product they supposedly helped to create.

right on brother

Savage 😂

It's honestly the same in pretty much every industry, I've had the chance in my life time to work in 3-4 complete different industries and 95% of the people that I've work with have 0 passion about what they are doing in that industry, people are generally just trying to get by in their life and having passion for something is a rare thing.

No because these two art staff did not talk for 1 sec about their work. They are here doing the content scripted by some "VP who has never picked up a controller" hoping people will get mad at these two person who possibly worked so hard but did not even get a chance to actually talk about what they did. This is not art staff playing while talking about behind the screen. This is all a sham.

There are some industries where this is even more egregious. At least, video games isn't known to be the highest paying (developers would go to big tech if they wanted to maximize money), so there is some selection for passion. There are some fields like investment management / finance where some of the people there hate money or they hate their rich old white clients. Imagine if you are a rich old white guy and you hire a team to manage your estate and several of them are hoping that you and your children die and lose everything... because they think that your money is immoral. Or they'll pile your money into ESG investments will will lose money but fits their personal politics. It's ridiculous. Or the "day in the life of a Twitter employee" video... do those people have passion for anything except for drinking wine and yoga? There are tons of Ivy League grads who are pretty smart and hold all the qualifications on paper, so they can get any job they want coming out of college, but they don't know what they want to do with their life so they are just going to a high paying field. But they have zero passion for that field and it ultimately shows in the quality of their work.

This is precisely why I always tell everyone asking me about game development to only get into this industry if you absolutely have to do it to be happy. If it doesn't feel like your absolute calling, do something else. Otherwise it will chew you up and spit your starry-eyed ass out. Unfortunately I've seen that message go in one ear and out the other 99% of the time because, "Working in gaming must be fun!" Working on a game - and I mean professionally, not "oh I made a project with my friends or a couple cool people during a game jam" - and playing games are two VERY different things kids.

Hey welcome to the club. I used to love the work I did. Shooting guns. Blowing things up. Then reality set in, and I spent twelve hours a day rolling my face off a keyboard. Reality rarely stands up to our perceptions of a thing, and reality is so very often 'disappointing'.

Inclusion is truly nice? I guess, doesn't mean it's good tho. Nice to make everyone feel good, until it doesn't actually feel good for everyone and hyper-focuses on a very small minority just so they can feel good. Take for instance the controllers being focused on when a majority of players use and want mouse and keyboard, or familiar dungeons when people want new things. It's good to have nostalgia, like a character showing up, but who wants to fight something from an old game with the same mechanics in the base game? Would be a great side challenge, but not in the base story.

I was thinking that before the video started "unless these two are some sort of designers they aren't the reason people are upset" lmfao the next frame was their job titles 😂😂😂

do you know for certain that a majority of players use kbm you vastly underestimate how big a population the casual audience is@@Coarvus

I dont think theres any confusion with any of the community. You hire people who look like this, you get a game that plays like that.

they ARE artists. Their job is not to make the assets, it's to put the assets together in a cohesive way. They get the bricks, tiles, columns, windows, chairs, lights, etc. and create a building with all those pieces. Their job is basically what would be called a "builder" in other games like Sims 4, Animal Crossing, Planet Zoo, etc. which are basically games on their own. They are bad at combat, as showcased by this video, but I can guarantee most D4 players would also be bad at "building" or designing. The skills are simply not transferable.

And no shout too!

Spamming basic 😂😂

its a basic att build 🤣🤣

unfortunately, i couldn't agree more. Weaponised wokeism fashioned as a shield to protect from any criticism under the guise of the usual "sexism, anti-trans, anti-woman agenda"

"Questionable part of the community" heeeeere we go. You play right into their hands

what do you mean by questionable? so women are automatically protected from any criticism and anyone who deems otherwise is questionable? since when, bud?

​@@h445 Don't be dense, you know by looking at the subreddits or this comment section that they aren't being criticized for their job.

​@h445 you aint that dumb, the questionable part are people that would attack the fact that its women who are presenting and not the fact the game has problems. You can criticize women but you can't make they reason why they're bad because "hur dur they're women"

😅. Facts brother

Experienced devs don't want to work at Blizzard. Imagine working on a game for 5 years then have an order from above that ruins the whole game.

They have 20 years of game development experience combined, unfortunately this makes it even worse.

Shareholders: No, they will cost too much

@@seekittycat Blizard is notorius for the dog shit wages in their industry. Why would good senior developers even bother to join them at this point? You get no money or a say on how to make the game, so why people should bother?

Remember older games that gave unique skins or weapons for doing insane sht like "unlock this futuristic outfit for the main character, by beating unholy demon difficulty." now it's beat unholy demon difficulty here's 15 achievement points, buy this cool skin for 15.99$ normally 24.99$. Games are quickly no longer rewarding out of the box thinking and style of play with cosmetics or unique/throw back to other IP weapons/skins. I mean some are still going to do the hardest difficulty cause they like the challenge, but now it's just to say "yea, i beat it on highest difficulty wouldn't do it again though."

I've noticed things like that with a lot of the newer games. The turnover rate in the gaming industry seems to be about as bad as fast food. Given how much time had passed, it shouldn't be a surprise that the people who made Borderlands 1 and 2 did not make Borderlands 3, and it really shows when playing the game.

Yeah didn't Asmongold make a video/talk about it way back when? Everyone should have seen the writing on the walls when senior game designers were leaving and being replaced mid project. Everyone always gives studios the benefit of the doubt though and just keeps buying steaming piles of shit from out of touch/greedy studios and then complains. I'm sure blizzard is wiping their tears over how much everyone hates the game with the millions upon millions of dollars they made and keep making. I put probably 1000+ hours in D3 but I waited until D4 was out for a bit before making a decision. I am yet to buy it and probably wont unless a lot changes. If this kind of common sense was the norm we wouldn't be getting shitty games from so many studios all the time. Oh well. People are going to keep buying shitty games so they'll keep getting made

@@bestieswithtesties It's just sad because often times the world and story designs and ideas are soooo cool that you just really want to play the game anyway, even if it sucks. At least that's how I am. I buy games knowing they'll be shit in many ways, but buy it for the story, the world design etc. Like CoD MW2, I wasn't gonna buy it, but seeing people play through the campaign made me buy it, and sure the multiplayer has been sorta fun, but the main reason I bought it was for the story and missions. I think most people think the same too, perhaps not specifically with MW2, but since people hype up certain games with new original ideas and designs, and then get disappointed by the actual game aspect.

​@Darkness5423 one of the main reasons I loved elden ring. Didn't have to buy shit.

Very true and the main reason why everything is turning to crap.

Go woke, go broke.

>cool dudes make a cool game >company grows but dudes just wanna make games so hire out for the office jobs >liberal woman gets in HR who hires more liberal women >studio gets ruined and the original guys leave

More true then true. Don't give a shit what anyone says. This is the reason we get ass games.

This is what's sad. If you look at the picture of the Mobius Digital team (the people who made Outer Wilds), they are diverse as hell. But NONE of them are diversity hires, they are just good at their jobs, and the result was one of the best games ever made. Diversity for the sake of diversity is turning this industry to sh*t.

but they're good at their job, they do art, not gameplay

As long as you are not a white male... in that case you actually have to know exactly what you're doing and be 110% to compete

@@neolordieexactly??? The amount of hate directed at these two are so baseless. “Woke” etc. Jesus Christ bunch of degens

Its not Incompetence its Diversity. same thing really.

It's called bio-leninism

I was thinking the same thing, 2 lvl 50's in WT1....

True

Diversity is the death of everything.

amazes me these women take this jobs on a platter

ESG score? What's so woke about Diablo 4?

@@sebicmiel4221 The devs.

they aren't even playing the game. they are just looking at a recording of gameplay, if we can count spamming A the entire time as "gameplay", and reading from a teleprompter, which you can see in the reflection of her glasses. heck, they're even lifting their hands to gestikulate but their characters magically are still using abillities bound to the buttons they are clearly not even touching at the moment!

It was so painful to watch. So much content lol. Of course there is a lot of content if one dungeon takes more than an hour to finish at world tier 1 lvl 50.

Yeah definitely why o stop playing. I had to much time to think what am I doing with my life.

Anyone who develops a game should be required to do this, or at least read this comment. 😂 Not only would it work as bug testing by the creators, but just the fact that I've played an outragous amount of recent games that are not only bug-ridden to hell and back. But some of them are cool concepts, but the ideas and mechanics just get lost in translation, and even more are just straight up not fun and an obvious money grab. It's pretty sickening to see some of these really shit games that also have obvious "payed reviewers", where tons of people do the opposite of a review bomb and talk about how good the game is. Some of them are even copy and pasted. 😂 But people keep giving these companies tons of money, so it's not likely to stop, at least in the mainstream games.

Which one is that?
