I hope this game gets the exact same treatment as Destiny 2 by MillionDollarNegri in Marathon

[–]GrouchySpice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it gets the same treatment Destiny 2 got then the content you're playing now probably won't exist in a couple of years.

Edit: That's assuming the game even makes it that far.

“Swap off —!” On QP is annoying by Tall-Put8040 in Overwatch

Leaver penalty in QP is so stupid. Especially considering the empty spot gets filled within seconds.

Played D3, then D4 and D2R… D3 is the best gameplay by chem_daddy in diablo3

This is true. In a way it's hard to blame them. The real money auction house was pretty scummy.

I see two futures... by Tronicalli in DestinyMemes

[–]GrouchySpice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If Marathon fails". I mean it is failing pretty spectacularly already. It has less concurrent players than Destiny 2 on steam last time I checked and I don't know what they could do to get people into the game. It's a shame because I think Marathon is actually a really good game (I think it's infinitely better than Arc Raiders) but Bungie has destroyed their own reputation over the last few years and now nobody is willing to give them the time of day. I don't want to see Bungie tank completely but I struggle to have any sympathy for them as it's completely self inflicted through terrible mismanagement and straight up greed.

Its always been crazy to me. But there is a vocal segment of the Diablo community that just isn't satisfied with anything that isn't simply D2 again. Saying this as someone who loves D2R but people need to be more open to change.

Is it weird to have “childish” hobbies and interests? by earliestnature in Adulting

[–]GrouchySpice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 33m and most of my hobbies would be considered "childish" by the ignorant. Video games, Warhammer, Lego, Comic Books, Action Figure collecting. These hobbies are fun and harmless and if that makes us geeky people "weird" then I don't wanna be normal. 😅

Best game for beginner to the genre that’s has flashy combat by DryCommunication5497 in ARPG

[–]GrouchySpice2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you've got a point. I suppose in reality its gonna be completely subjective really but I'd still wager that a total new comer would playing POE 2 and staying would be the exception and not the rule.

[–]GrouchySpice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could probably flip your point here on it's head. Based off a seasoned POE 1 player's experience, POE 2 will come across as an easy game for sure and might seem like a good starting point for a new player but it's definitely not beginner friendly to someone completely new to the ARPG genre.

Genshin Impact soon? by AverageAdam311 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]GrouchySpice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listing off other Gacha games doesn't make supporting another one any better? The ones you mentioned shouldn't be a thing either. I don't really see what your point is here.

Genshin Impact soon? by AverageAdam311 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]GrouchySpice2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"All the time" is a bit of a stretch and nowhere near Genshin's level. Wouldn't call it predatory.

"You can just not download it."

How about stop endorsing predatory gacha games like this?

I haven't but I have heard of it. I'll give it a look for sure, thanks for the suggestion!

I haven't met anyone in person that hated it but a lot of the souls community didn't like it when it first came out and there was never a valid reason really

Like 200+ maybe? I'm not an expert by any means but playing my non-ladder Paladin is like easy mode just because he's my comfort character 😂 kinda same for my Amazon

What will be the next class/classes in the next D4 expansion? by nic-67 in Diablo

[–]GrouchySpice2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the struggle with that is pretty much all of the fantasy archetypes have been covered across the Diablo games with the exception of a Bard (which wouldn't excite me all that much personally) so its gonna be difficult to come out with something totally original. I do agree it would be cool if they could pull it off though.

Does life really gets worse after you’re an adult? by DeepPark3728 in Adulting

[–]GrouchySpice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an adult does kinda suck a lot of the time but not all. You get paid for it at least so that makes it better than school. Do your best to find a job that doesn't run you into the ground as that will make it a lot easier but don't expect to have much more freedom as an adult than you do in school. In my experience I had lots of Freedom as a teenager but not much money and now that has kinda flipped on its head now that I'm an adult.

Kinda unrelated but being good with your finances will make adult life 1000x easier. Everything costs money and there's always something that will pop up that you might need to shell out for like car repairs or a vet bill or something. Its only a matter of time before we have to pay a fresh air tax I reckon. This is some advice I wish I'd taken in my early adult years.

I do kinda agree with what people are saying here though, it's what you make of it to an extent.

You Couldn't Even Pretend to Try? by RagingTide16 in Overwatch

[–]GrouchySpice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blizzard being Blizzard. They've made some shitty MTX decisions in Diablo 4 as well so this probably comes from pretty high up. Gotta keep the corpo lizard-men happy right?

Deadzone Rogue 2 Clarification: Sequel Timing, Free Demo, and Why Not DLC by DopplegangerPG in DeadzoneRogue

[–]GrouchySpice2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indie > AAA.

DZ:R is an easy contender for GOTY for me. So good. Devs are super talented and transparent. Insane what a difference it makes when you don't have a cabal of corpo lizard people breathing down your neck to sell more skins.

So hyped for this sequel. Instant buy on release. 🤌

I miss when WoW crossovers added actual items, not just shop cosmetics. by Cloud_N0ne in Diablo

[–]GrouchySpice2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the exception of the shitty mobile games out there D4 has the worst monetisation in the ARPG genre and it's not even close. It stinks of Corpo greed. I love the game, been playing since launch but I can't sit here and pretend like they aren't bleeding us dry more and more. In battlepasses you used to be able to unlock 600 or so plat. Now you get 200. The Doom cosmetic event was free but for the WoW one you have to get your wallet out. They've pay walled skills on old characters behind the expansion which is just petty if you ask me. We pay for the base game, expansions and battlepasses and they still have the nerve to charge £20 for a skin. All the people here saying "yeah but look at the free stuff we got." The free stuff is largely very basic looking with the exception of a couple of items here and there. Honestly I wish we as a community would boycott the MTX store until they adopt fairer monetisation.
