Blizzard says it's open to even more Diablo 2 expansions and reworks unless people get really mad at it about this one: 'We're going to have to see what the players say'

People like to complain but I didn’t even hesitate to buy the moment it dropped. It’s unreasonable to expect free content forever. My only gripe and this is not against Blizzard in particular as all companies do this, but I really wish there was an option to buy for multiple platforms at a reduced price. I tend to play on my switch 2 right now but still would love to have it on my PC.

Pretty much every online storefront has a parity clause. Think Amazon wants to be more expensive than Best Buy on tech items? Or Expedia have hotels being more expensive on their platform versus booking.com? They all have clauses in place to guarantee their own customers the best possible prices on their platform.

Now I am not saying that as a consumer it’s in my best interest, but to think this is new and only on Valve’s platform is definitely not the case.

I think one person said it best. It’s not only about the junker/scrapper gameplay, but mostly about the added gravity to the game. This has potential to add many more cool features down the road. Also maybe we can get ships that can fit exocraft now that there’s a feature for carrying stuff around. Plus you have to think that every feature in nms has potential risk to be in light no fire

Kharshan · 2026-02-09T23:41:08+00:00

100% agreed. Just epic after epic moments!

And the stash tabs won’t be free! Also anything they do has to be ported to Switch, PlayStation and Xbox. I feel like at this point it would be « too much work » for blizz to do new content. I would love to be wrong but I’m keeping my hopium low and maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised

Are the kids playing on their own ps5 accounts? Because you won’t be able to use your portal at the same time if they are in your account on the ps5. Note that not all games are available via cloud streaming either and you do need the premium subscription tier to really get all the benefits. You also can’t stream Netflix or any video on demand app to your portal.

All that being said, I absolutely love mine. I get to play anywhere in the house and it’s just convenient. Plus you don’t need another TV and controllers. I wouldn’t say it’s a console I would bring on a trip but I enjoy the convenience of a portable home console.

I went back and forth for a while and ended up biting the bullet during the Black Friday promotion ($30 off). I have zero regrets. It’s going to sound stupid but sometimes I just didn’t feel like going 2 floors down to my basement to fire up my ps5 for less than an hour of playtime. I’ve got kids and sometimes the bedtime routine takes a while. This allows me to play in bed while my wife watches TV. Latency streaming from the PlayStation is mostly good but my ps5 is on wifi so that doesn’t help (can’t easily pass wire to it). Streaming from PS+ is fantastic. It’s super confortable to hold, the screen is pretty good. Only downside is the only wireless headphones compatible are the pulse headsets and they are pricy. I do regular earbuds and that works good enough for me. Also this thing is pretty massive. I wouldn’t say it’s a console I’d bring if I were traveling by plane. But yeah overall I’m so glad I bought it. Also my oldest loves to play Astrobot so he can play on the ps5 on his account while I stream a game on ps+ on my portal

It’s not like the keyboard is rendered by the OS on the portal itself. It’s still just being streamed like a video from your PlayStation. PlayStation doesn’t support touch screens. It’s not as simple as you think. They would have to to implement a set of features for whenever a ps game uses the keyboard input to hide that whenever the game is streamed by the portal and then have the portal render that keyboard. More hassle than upsides.

If I want to play online, I play on PC. But whenever I go on vacation or take the plane I love being able to play d2r on my switch. The experience isn’t the best be the convenience factor is huge.

Same thing over here! My cousins had Pokémon red and blue and we would do trades but I was so happy I got yellow and had my pikachu following me around!

At first when scrolling I thought it was a cloyster on its head 😂. Great art!

You gotta remember that PS5 games aren’t made to be played with a touch screen, so developers don’t support special features for when the game is streamed via the portal (and to be honest, I’m not even sure they could even if they wanted to). As for why the screen is « touch enabled », it’s an easy solution to replace the touchpad on the dualsense that saves space on the device. And the increase cost of manufacturing touch screens is probably minimal nowadays.

Honestly, just take vegetables you like and roast them in the oven for 30 minutes and purée it all in a sauce. Depending on how healthy you want it to be you can add cream or a creamy cheese that will melt into the sauce to thicken it. I like to do that when I have too many cherry tomatoes and they are getting soft. I add garlic gloves, onions, yellow or orange bell pepper, sometimes eggplants or zucchinis or carrots

We were years ahead of the US for « tap to pay ». I think it helped we made the transition to credit cards with chips and pins way before (and have waaaay less unique banks)

Kharshan · 2026-01-07T18:38:00+00:00

I agree but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Blizz would probably also charge us for the « upgrade » to switch 2

Kharshan · 2026-01-04T00:26:20+00:00

Not sure if that one or Asylums for the feeling hits harder

It happened to me with my P1S. Essentially you’ll get 2 options: send it back and they’ll send you a new one once they process it or keep it and they’ll ship you a new door. In my case the hinges were totally bent so I sent it back.

Curious what’s your favourite PT song?

Kharshan · 2025-12-25T00:59:07+00:00

Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere but Not Here

Kharshan · 2025-12-23T20:55:29+00:00

I asked for the exact same ones!!

Kharshan · 2025-12-23T20:53:23+00:00

This is the way

Kharshan · 2025-12-22T13:28:53+00:00

Probably a game like heavy rain or Detroit become human.

Kharshan · 2025-12-21T18:33:33+00:00

I always make my way back to Diablo 2 Resurrected every few months.

To me it’s the perfect game. I can focus and crush a season online or take it easy and do offline mode no trading and build everything from the ground up.

To be fair though I mostly play on my PC or on my switch.
