I Just CAN'T Take Diablo Immortal Anymore. 

I love how this "game" has perfectly met the expectations everyone had when it was boo'd off stage at Blizzcon.

As a German gaming site put it: Diablo Immortal as a Blizzard product is like the old high school friend who calls you after years to ...sell you some shady insurance policy. And you stand there dumbfounded, asking. "What... what happened to you? You used to be so cool."

I strongly disagree with letting Cheng get away with his "gems aren't gear" pedantry. No, gems are a type of gear by any reasonable definition. They are items you equip to provide all sorts of passive bonuses; QED. The fact that you put the gems into sockets in your items doesn't change the fundamental fact that they are also a type of gear.

I did my own research into this, played to around paragon 50 as a wizard (f2p) and levelled another class to level 50 as I worked on the guide. I won't give that link (which would be tacky) but there's a few points and links I will share that Bellular haven't really covered and when you start to understand... First off, Elder rifts are the game's loot box. A glorified slot machine. Didn't fool Belgium and Netherlands, but the rest of the world let it slide. (well, maybe not China :D :D :D Have to see.) If you haven’t figured it out already, the end boss in Elder rifts is irrelevant, as are all trash mobs before it. The Elder rift is a loot box, pure and simple. Sure, it is disguised, but it’s a loot box all the same. You are paying before the run to pre-load the ‘wins’. If you fail the 'rift' you get your crests return to try again. Kind of them. Using the slot machine analogy, you put the coins in the slot (the crests - bought with orbs, bought for cash - into the slots) and you pull the handle (run the rift). The casino (Blizzard) guarantees you ‘something’, even if it’s only one cherry (1-star legendary), but that row of bells or 777 (2/5-star or better), boy are you gonna need a much bigger bag of tokens! Any claim by Blizzard and Wyatt Cheung that the orbs are not ‘gear’, that’s it’s ‘misinformation’, that the game is not 100% pay-to-win are just PR lies. *(To max a character you will need over 5,000 such legendary orbs in all) As you can see, orbs are important to the game. They are epically legendary in terms of Activision’s profits. And Blizzard will cripple anything and everything that gets in the way of their profits, no matter what. ... What? 5,000 ?/5 gems to max your character? No way. That's BS. Well, I'm not about to try but a few respected sites have, like Wowhead. To be honest their description is so convoluted that I struggled to follow it, but I got a figure of around 48 copies of the gem you want plus 105 more to salvage so 153 2/5-star gems to get to your first 5/5 level 10 gem (I think). As I say, in made my head hurt even trying. www.wowhead.com/diablo-immortal/guides/legendary-gems-upgrading-ranks-gem-power Luckily another well known site (Maxroll) had prepared a tldr; version, which arrive at 73 dupes and 4,450 gem power (so 213 2/5-star gems) That just gets you to first base and you are down about £15,000 to £20,000 by now. Then you want the other 5 gems. Then you want the dohicky up ascend and open up the gem (which Bellular and others have touched up slightly). Hidden inside this are slots for 4 more legendary gems, each of which wants levelling up. Oh, and by the way, these are specific gems, and they are locked. You have to level up each gem to find out what the next one is. Those 3,200 1-star gems you just destroyed to get the first gem to level 10, you kind of needed them. Better start swiping again. So, for a fully pimped toon, you are looking at needing up to 6,390 legendary gems, a quarter of which much be specific dupes. immortal.maxroll.gg/resources/gems ... Finally, I found a 'Diablo Immortal Elder Rift generator' to calculate the cost of that gem you want! Not the same, but before I found this I did try it with spreadsheets and random number generators. This is quicker, less maths, more fun. Just set yourself a goal like 'get my first 2/5 Bile gem' or 'get my first 5/5 Blood-soaked jade' and have at it. For the BiS Blood-soaked Jade, using the generator, it cost $21,800. I got it cheap, given the odds. The second simulation cost $86,975. Mostly ‘Chip of Stoned Flesh’ dropped, but I did see 6 ‘Seeping Bile’. In all, I had 30 5/5 by the time I got the drop I wanted, along with 32,429 1 and 2-star gems. Great value, eh! dimi777.github.io/diablo-rift-simulator/ .

I cannot stress this enough. Remember that this was all intentional. They chose to make the grind long and unsatisfying to manipulate you into spending money. They chose to make the early game fun and fast paced to give you the dopamine rush so that they could rip it away. They are actively trying to make addicts out of people. They are not game developers and this is not a game. It's a scam with pretty colors and buttons.

Let's cut the BS. Wyatt is a liar and Blizzard knows this isn't a game, it's just a donation box for fools with more money than sense. Call a spade a spade.

I was standing in my kitchen making coffee and you caught me off guard with, "Horadric bullshit box." I started laughing so hysterically I think I scared my dog. Good show, Bellular.

What I'm most upset about is that so many people knowingly paid thousands of dollars to play scuffed Diablo 3 endgame. Streamers in particular. How dare you support these business practices to this extent and thus enable them in the future like this, when even the game itself is nothing special? There was no big secret to uncover, no veiled truth to unearth - everyone knew from day 1 that it was a shameless pyramid scheme yet you willingly poured fuel on its engine. Gaming as a whole is worse for this idiotic stunt and it's not just on Blizzard.

Once again, one cannot help but feel 'impressed' by this atrocity. So much research, psychological science and whatnot went into the creation of this avaricious behemoth, this whale bait of a game, in order to create the ultimate money vacuum. Never before has there been this much planing and scheming to create a 'perfect' product. Just imagine - the things such power could achieve if the people behind it intended or were allowed to use it for actual entertainment, escapism and just one hell of a good time. Truly, this is the antithesis of what gaming is supposed to be.

I have a question for Wyatt Chang and the people responsible for this travesty. "Do you guys not have morals?"

The "game developers" that made this have no honor. They actively damage the whole medium. It's disgusting.

Every time I hear about Diablo Immortal's machinations, it makes me want to take a shower. Just imagining the psychopaths and narcissists sitting around coming up with these monitization systems, identifying what works in other games so they could create their own versions here, absolutely chilling and disgusting. This form of game monitization is an enemy to humanity.

Normally I'm a "Don't yell at the devs yell at the publisher." But that has a limit to where it stops being "they are just doing what they are told" and becomes a situation where if you had any integrity you wouldn't be in this situation to begin with.

After he started bring up the 3rd currency, I was annoyed. After the 5th, I was lost, confused and disgusted. After what felt like the 12th, I was baffled that this game hasn't been pulled yet for predatory practices.

My interest in Diablo IV was already tenuous, given everything that we've learned about Blizzard in the last 4 years. Seeing the debacle of D: Immortal didn't tip the scale- that point has long since passed- but it did drain away the last drop of confidence I had. Diablo was my favorite Blizz property, and sparked my interest in ARPGs. To look at news of D4 (including Bellular's own coverage) and feel nothing at all is so deeply WEIRD; it feels like I really should feel SOMETHING, even if it's sadness or anger, or even seething distrust. It's just gone now.

When the rift opens and your face appears in the middle lol /chefs kiss Nice touch & great video thank you

Small addendum to legendary gems on the market - Blizzard, in their mercy, allows free players to craft legendary gems in Westmarch. Those are unbound too and therefore sellable. "Technically" one can craft a 5 star legendary gem, provided they farmed essence leftovers from rifts for about two weeks (because they have a weekly cap ofc) - but chances of actually getting that are NOT disclosed. I did it once, got a crappy one star. So that might as well be actually no chance or far less than actually getting a 5-star from a paid crest. And remember - this is a single dice roll every two weeks or more. Thank you so much Blizzard.

For me I lost interest at 60 paragon 10. As a free to play player you hit this loop where you literally need to dedicate multiple times throughout the day; getting blessings at 3pm, vault raids 4pm, hilt vendor resets, and battlegrounds times. Then find the time to also do your challenge rifts, bounties and contracts, while collecting essence. Then finally making progress on the battle pass to make sure you have enough hilts to buy the next store reset. Also I would just play PVP for the dailies and be fodder for swipers. All in all I would have to drop 4+ hours a day on a MOBILE game to efficiently progress my character. And if I missed any of that because of IRL stuff; I felt like shit. Gj Blizz, you made me walk away from this game faster than BF2042 and Halo infinite.

Wow, it's like they specifically tried to put every sneaky tactic they could find into the game's monetization. Heck there could be even more in there at the level of people spending 50k on it that we don't know about. It's impressive, if also deeply disturbing. They must really consider their customers to be more wallets than humans to act like this.

Great review. If i just want to finish the story, do I also need to pay?

The single thing, I find the most shocking is the sheer amount of fanboys, that stand 200% behind Blizzard even now. Defending how they get taken advantage of. It's a lost cause. As long as these guys exist, it will get worse.

Honestly I feel I'm done with Blizzard completely. There was some hope that after all the backlash they would learn from their mistakes but here they prove that we are closer to cattle on a farm to them than people who play games. The fact that they even let this release even remotely close to this state and didn't change things right out the gate is absurd in the extreme. I'm not even going to give Dragonflight a chance. Even if it is great it is likely going to be a lure so that they can snatch away more money from people down the line. Blizzard as we remember it is long dead and I doubt we will ever see a great game come from it now without deliberate caveats. It was a great run, but this isn't the Blizzard any of us remember, and I doubt it ever will be again. Maybe Microsoft can turn things around with a fresh new team, but beyond that I feel the Blizzard we love is just a fond memory now. Maybe it's time to let it go and turn our love towards something that will actually love us back.

that face in the portal at 7:55 killed me lmao.

that was one of the most thorough game reviews i have ever seen. wow subbed for life man. this was my first video of yours and im blown away. great job man. wow.

"Do they think they can get away with it in Diablo 4?" your lack of overview and memory of Blizzards past actions, considering the fact that you have covered them extensively in the past are kinda more frightening Bellular, copium level frightening. Firstly the people at the top of Blizzard taught the real money AH in D3 was a great idea. Leadership and Lead developers also taught they could get away form years sexual harassment, stealing breast-milk and creepy culture by swiping it under the rug, pretend it was raining, denying it and destroying evidence. Secondly knowing all that do you honestly still really believe they would have qualms or objections about implementing immoral-, manipulative-, predatory- , monetization or businesses practices? or that it would be anywhere near the top of their lists on things they should not engage in? because that's weapons grade levels of copium on your side, I'm sure there's devs that hate what Immortal has become and where its stands, problem is they cant stop the leads and suits from forcing them to keep making the product and that's why they have people in key positions leaving their teams hands over fist. just look at Shadowlands Legendaries were specifically designed to sell Pay to win tokens, the games general design now is to facilitate easier sale of those tokens, the time-gating is made so people will keep subbing for 6+ months or pay for the 6month sub, or come back when the time gate is more reasonable and also buy a few tokens to catch up on legendaries and gear not to mention gold for raiding and AH, rather then play the game and have a actually working economy. using Chinese gold farmers as an excuse for pay the pay to win tokens.

This game is state of the art in extracting money from you. Every psychological trick to hook and extract money of you is applied. Blizzard ceos are probably proud that they created this "masterpiece"

12:50 Im the german viewer, Mom, get the camera :D Yeah, Im curious to see how far the prices go up with each new difficulty. Do the bundles just cost 150€ on hell 3 or 4?

I can't believe how far they went. They should have tested the waters more, ease the audience into the P2W. Or.. they shouldn't taint existing PC IPs with P2W. That's another option :)

When it is all said and done, is anyone really surprised? Was diablo immortal ever going to be anything else? Why on gods green earth would Blizzard want a mobile diablo? To sell costumes? Raise your hand if you really believed that.

This is genuinely insane. Everything I've seen of this game makes me think it looks like a simplified D3. Only you can pay 10k in it, for some reason. I don't get the appeal. Totally free, free with minimal microtransactions, ok, if you really want to fiddle with something on a train or a waiting room... I do NOT get why so many people are sucked into this manipulative hellhole.

I got a whole new respect for you and you've earned another fan. Keep it up bellular. Why donate to a streamer knowing full well your money is going straight to a loot box. You? You deserve the love.

Got to paragon 34 and quit like 6 days ago. Once I got to Hell 2 there was a huge wall preventing me from getting any stronger and any power I did receive was miniscule.

The paywall really hits at Hell II. Thats when your gear score comes into its own and can only be countered with your wallet. I uninstalled at Paragon lvl 38. Completed the battle pass and did 11 bonus levels (for paltry rewards). The basic game loop consists of doing your dailys, making sure to make the one you're working on "featured" so you get more BP, because at this point you're chasing BP as completing a battle pass level is the only way of gaining a decent amount of XP. Once you've done your bounties and Pokemon hunt, its down to grinding dungeons on the off chance you might get a set piece. This is the F2P loop, and it's incredibly boring, even by Diablo standards. Another thing worth noting is that the Pokemon (sorry, "Bestiary") quests used to give out legendries like confetti prior to hitting lvl 60, once you start hitting the Paragon lvls that dries up straight away. I haven't done any data mining, but just based on anecdotal evidence alone its obvious that the loot tables are skewed. You can hit an 1,100 combat rating fairly easily, which is the first big milestone. After that, unless you're spending money, it slows down to a crawl. And lets not even talk about PvP.

From "what, do you guys not have phones?" to "what, do you guys not have seven-figure salaries?"

18:34 i just noticed something, they have a "don't ask again today" button, when the price for opening each chest gradually increases, so if a player decides to click it because he just assumes "oh, they just cost 100 platinum", then they will quickly have all of their currency drained after they open a bunch more chests

I still cant access the shop lol. Ever since launch I press the shop button and boom: error code 10200283

Watching some of my favorite D2 NPCs be paraded around to promote the cash shop in the main story is what made me quit before the free hit was even done. Charsi, I forgive you - it wasn't your fault.

If this is beating a dead horse then I believe there should be an extinction level-sized crater where the horse used to be. I absolutely love content shitting on Diablo Immoral lol, keep these coming

Great wrap-up, I enjoyed watching the discussions of Immor(t)al way more than playing the game myself 😂

I have ground my way up to Level 60 Paragon 55 totally as a free to play player. (Ironically, I tried to purchase a low cost bundle to get me through one of the level locked stages of the plot, but Blizzard's commerce engine kept crashing.) I'm going to stop play now as all that's left is griding to rank up gems and collect gearsets. As Bellular Gaming says, I can't be competitive with paying players in any of the PVP arenas because there's such a disparity in power levels.

One thing I notice about all the DI coverage... a lot of menus. I rarely see gameplay, or see discussion of it. I don't know how accurate it is, but all the metagaming stat play looks like a pain to deal even without the mtx aspects. I tried it at Blizzcon and had no further interest in it despite it being relatively fun at the time, but also it was a streamlined demo with just gameplay and no gearing systems laid on top.

I actively want this game to fail. I don't want this crap to infect other games that could have been good, but where the publishers look at this, see players will play it anyways, and demand this style of monetization get crammed in to everything just like loot boxes. I'm normally of the opinion that people should just play what they want, but this sickens me and anybody supporting it is actively taking part in making our gaming hobby worse. It's like if McDonald's started cutting their burgers with feces, and people kept eating there anyways. The pricey premium burgers are still pure beef, but the value menu is literal shit and people are eating it up because they like the fries. They're now making more money and getting away with it, so the competitors are going to follow suit.

D4 choose a class: Barbarian, Monk, Lowborn, Highborn (unlocked in special edition), [megawhale] (unlocked by preorder the special premium collectors edition, upgrading store to lvl 50 or backer status Consierge).

Nice one Bell, a fair review of this accurate representation of what it looks like when hell spills out into our world.

when the game was announced to critical boos, you only thought it was going to have basic levels of pay to win bullfuckery. only to find out years later that Morpheus was going to take you even further than you could have possibly imagined down that particular rabbit hole.

I recently just picked up Diablo 2 Ressurected on the Switch, which is the only Diablo mobile experience I will allow in my home.

So I recently started already have a character lvl 30. I'm hearing alot about "legendary" gems. Is there no legendary lvl loot? Please tell me so I can stop playing now if that's true. I'll just go back to Diablo 2 and 3 so I can actually get good loot.

Thanks for keeping bringing attention to this. I don't think the attention does much to deter terminally addicted blizzard fans tbh but at least good people are trying to fight this. If we can keep at least some people from falling into this trap and losing their money then it's worth it.

With everything I have seen with immortal, I am not getting D4 when it is released. It’s sad! I have played Diablo since the first game. I am just tired of micro transactions in full priced games. I cannot trust that those games are not rigged to entice you to buy micro transactions cosmetic or not.

I no lifed my way to paragon 12. I spent 8 dollars, BP and second dungeon bundle. I was top 10 in pvp top 30 in challenge rifts. Then I hit a wall. And it was a insane wall. The only way over the wall was pay cash.

You didnt go over charms. It costs 500 platnium to extract a rank 5 charm into a skill stone. If there is only one skill for your class in that skill stone, you are basically rolling a 20% chance to get the skill you want added onto your main charm. The skill stone is consumed in this process. The skill stones at auction average 1k- 2.5k platnium, your basically paying to roll for a perfect 5/5 skill charm. Idk if duplicate skills on a skill stone will affect the rng but usually the good charms arent sold due to the 2.5k platnium cost. If you have a 3/5 charm for your class thats good, you dont sell it. 2.5k platnium is too low of a price for the rarity and cost it takes to get a good charm. The kicker is that these charm skills give like 2% buff to each skill. To get a 5/5 skilled charm for your class that has good skills is...difficult to obtain.

Blizzard went from "Do you guys not have phones?" to "Do you guys not have trust funds?" real quick.

Keep fighting the good fight for the rest of us Bellular and team! Oh looking forward to your game release! I need it NOW!

Thank you so much for your integrity, as always. I understand it can be tough calling out a company/game for their bullshit and is never easy, but I really appreciate the coverage you’ve put into the clusterfuck that is Immortal. Seeing this really scares me for what companies will have built in the metaverse or whatever it’s called since Facebook owns that now. I heard on NPR virtual real estate is already a thing, I think I heard seven figures for the space to open a Samsung store in the Korean metaverse.

I've seen alot of people complaining about running rifts saying it's just repeating bosses and stuff... and I'm wondering did they not play d2 or d3?

I just uninstalled it, too. Level 35 and your video made the further direction clear. Thanks for saving me the time!

Thank you for what you are doing, keep up the good work. You are doing an amazing job!

I don't believe their words, for they ring hollow as a rotten log. Immortal has destroyed their shell of an old image and revealed the parasite thats rotted them from the inside out.

17:40 on top of that there are fees on sold items in the auction house…..

I am playing it at the moment. It is very interesting how I still feel the compulsion to spend money, even though I am very well aware of the psychological tricks used there.

Hey Bellular, just wanted you to know that I 100% agree with your assessment of this game. I was also wondering on what your thoughts are on the difference between loot box games and gatcha games if you think there are any at all?

My initial reaction that turned me immediately off was how the first enemies that you swung on were a lot more spongy than any other action RPG I have ever played. Knowing that this was the type of game where power was attached to money this initial bullet spongy high HP pool enemy. Was a very strong indicator of what was to come. Basically it didn't feel like an action RPG it felt like a cash crap and this was only from the first dozen monsters but maybe it's just me

About 10 days ago i hit the level wall. All i wanted to do was play through the storyline once. But here i sit gated at level 44 needing lvl 46 to see next bit of story. I am out. The bounties that i need to grind to unlock the next bit of story are basically "Kill 10 Rats" quests that Everquest bored me with over 20 years ago.

Players deserve what they get by playing and supporting these kind of games

Best review and honest truth about the game thus far 👌 👍 👏 🙌 💯

Diablo Immortal alpha was an amazing game just like D4 seems to be. Won't stop the execs from over ruling the devs destroying the game. D4 devs claim mean nothing because in the end they control nothing.

Yeah, Quinn Ended up spending around 15.7K USD, to get the 5 star gem drop from the rift.

There should be an in game leaderboard that shows whose spent the most money. Because that’s honestly all that matters anymore.

I do find this whole thing odd. I've played Diablo 3 for ages, and as far as I can see from Imortal, it is a basic copy and paste of D3. In which case, if you like the gameplay you see in Imortal, why don't you just buy D3? Currently D3 (with Reaper of Souls) is often found on sale for the same price, if not cheaper, than a single 10 crest run in Immortal. Bonkers. In fact watching the Immortal game play gave me nostalgia pangs for D3, so I just booted up D3, had the same experience, and didn't have to pay a penny more.

I hope you got to level 60. It helps to understand just how bad the paragon system is.

I can't say enough thanks to all streamers who played this clusterF of a cash grab. Watching Asmon, Rich, Quin and many more payers show how horrible DI is, was an eye opening experience. Not to mention people who play mobile games defend it. Not one of them can answer, why pay to win/ progress is so acceptable to them. Answer is always, it's a mobile game, that's how it is and should be...😳 And as a bonus point, median income in China is around 400€. If you are able to afford buying stuff to progress 100€/$ in mobile game and not feel the financial hit, fine. But how can one defend costs like these and say that they aren't predatory. With psychological manipulation going on this scale, how is that OK?🤯 I'm just so happy that they are blocked from entering that golden Chinese market. If it's stopped even for a short while, GREAT.

I played through the game exactly once, without paying anything. Story progress was ok, but the further I got, the more annoying all the adds became. Furthermore, the game is overloaded with weird upgrading systems, which got me lost quite fast - battle pass, gems, horadric stuff... and every aspect wants it's share of your money.

Imagine teams of people meeting up to discuss the most efficient way to rip you off.

It is a relief to see how EU started to handle loot box and gacha designs thanks to horrible cash grabs reskinned as games like this thing is. Hopefully in 5-6 years you won't be able to even publish "games" like these in EU.

I've played mobile rpg games for some time, Tales of Wind and Sprite Fantasia were only two ones that stood out well. Although Tales of Wind being more p2w in terms of getting more runs for a day, and Sprite Fantasia being lot less popular in general in EU. At least those two games (idk about Tales of Wind 100%), but once you've built your own island level high enough, you can cook buff food of different options, even increased drop rate food up to 5%. In Sprite Fantasia there is also pet skill that increases drop rate up to 5-7%, and divination gives drop rate % from 0-20 depending how lucky you are. It surprises me though why did they choose to force players to pay for loot to be better, when you could instead make drop rate function more practical in midgame by additional upgrades you can improve over time f2p, giving more motivation to keep playing and forming functioning teams, guilds and set up sentimental anchors for players to pay for support of others for e.x. They did fail the outcome of the rpg in this entirely, the lack of story, however ridiculous it could've been. Sprite Fantasia storyline is for example almost fully filled with jokes, memes and irony. Diablo Immortal is like lovehate child from any general RPG p2w oriented game and Dante's Inferno. Quite sad combination in fact.

I've only seen until 2:10 thus far, but you are nailing it.

Thank you for putting up with this BS to inform us all of Blizzards garbage. Much appreciated. Found your channel due to immortal content. Never actually downloaded the game, thank god.

If you are still a Blizzard consumer and aren't worried how Diablo Immortal will be impacting things like D4 or WoW Dragonflight moving forward, you are living in a bubble/are willfully ignorant. Honestly, Bellular is too generous when he believes the D4 team is honest in their attempts to try to pitch the game as a genuine game. D4 has a cash shop, they aren't even hiding it now; previous Diablo games didn't even have cash shops. With all of the lies Blizzard has slung your way for years now, to earnestly believe them at this point is borderline insanity. What trends have they honestly displayed to show they've changed? None. They have, however, consistently showed, across all their IPs, that they love to say one thing and then show that in technicalities and legalities later that they were correct, but actually it was something else later. No borrowed power in Dragonflight? Well, technically Ion actually said they only wanted to move away from it and actually said he never envisioned the game would never 100% move away from it; he never gave exact finite parameters on how much borrowed power would be removed in Dragonflight. Blizzard as a whole, regardless of the team is utterly despicable. You can enjoy a game, nobody can take away the fun you enjoy when you play a game, but it does not change the fact that this entire company has 100% failed in it's capacity to treat it's consumers well; they have abused you all whether you admit it or not. It's just sad so many people fail to recognize it across the board.

I thought it was mediocre enough, until level 30 when it went from mediocre to just garbage when you hit the pay us more money XP wall.

I still remember D3 at launch, which makes me think they will try their bs with D4. I'm curious about what they will pull off. And thanks to reviewers, I don't need to buy to find out for myself.

Thanks for the honest review! I appreciate your always telling it like it is in these reviews, and your deep-dives are always entertaining and enlightening and useful. As a long time Diablo fan, it pains me to say I think going to avoid this title altogether given the uber-predatory practices it employs.

Diablo immortal, take hell with you on the go!

i wanted to get to level 40 battle pass and unlock the armor set look. but i just cant open the game. i got to level 60 and level 27 battle pass, and all i did was daily bounties and the same 3 dungeons over and over for points. meh

lol what's with the camera zoom at 8:25 - 8:27 hahahaha

If the aim of the PVP system was to match players with comparable gear against each other they could very easily do so directly, without first pitting the minnows against the sharks and whales. They could have separate classes of competition within which similarly-geared players could compete on a more or less equal footing. Instead, the fact that whales get to farm f2p players until they reach a high enough rank is a feature of the system. Dunking on the peasants is the reward for swiping.

This may well be one of the most important videos made in the gaming space. If this is how games will be in the future, dear god. I just hope the outcry is big enough, but seeing the revenue numbers… We may be doomed, because technically they just need to find 100 people who are really stupid. That‘s not even hard in todays time. :))))

Thank you for your honest game reviews. I feel you deeply on this but for me I was looking for hack and slash game for years until i end up with this. I knew it was gonna be cash cow from the start but for me i could careless. I don't like leveling up quickly and getting the best equipment as fast as i can. I don't enjoy that kind of gameplay. I like to grind to kill some of my boring time though that's for sure. Cheers!

Spot on homeboy, spot on. This was so true, it actually made us feel somewhat depressed for a bit.

We should be boycotting the hell out of blizzard right now

I played free to max lvl, spending just a small amount of time with it daily for a little while (wanted to complete the story) and now between iPhone/PC I play for less than an hour every few days or so… been like 5 days now since I last started it up, and that’s ok. I really appreciate the message you all are trying to make as clear as possible for your viewers but don’t torture yourself man, if people haven’t figured it out by now they probably never will. With the little bit of free time I have, I have been playing “other” games… ya know, ones that are fun and don’t make grabs for my wallet when I’m tired, anyway thanks for the content and play something fun sir.

So I wonder if they going to add Seasonal to the game.

Thank you for your perseverance.

Makes me scared for any and all future Blizzard releases.

Thank you for your honest review, atleast the positive from this garbage game is that countries are actually taking loot boxes and predatory systems in gaming more seriously

I'm pissed right now. They have zero communication. We have the first big update in 3 days with class change yet they give us no info about it lol

I have looked at a lot of videos, and i cant find any reason to play this on PC instead of Reaper Of Souls

I bought Wolcen after trying Diablo Immortal. It's one of the few aRPGs I haven't played to death before. Wolcen isn't the best aRPG ever made but it's a million times better than shite DIablo Immortal.

Glad I just play indies/niche Japanese, and Hentai games.

As other content creators pointed out: Noone ever said d4 will Only have cosmetic items in the cash shop. They said it will be "based around cosmetic items"...which probably just means in d4 the skins will be giving you the combat rating or something... Not a game.

Horadric “bullshit” box. 🤣 You got me dude. This is phenomenal.
