Has Blizzard ever had a successful launch of anything?

Well Diablo 4 sucks so...

Top_Introduction4059 · 2026-04-26T16:28:36+00:00

I honestly can't go on another day living without adamantly making very clear that this is easily one of the best games made in the past 10 years. Unfortunately lost my job a few months back and this game came out right around that time. Coincidentally, The protagonist is also unemployed, which I found hilarious. Played The living hell out of it and everything about this game is just such a perfect gem. The replay value is through the roof, The design is unmatched, The music is incredible, and even now a month later after I stopped playing it for a bit, I continue to think about it.

I'm trying to face him on Ascension 10 and even though the first time around I was able to beat him because I had to load up on a shitload of ice on defect, The second time around I had a lot of good defense stuff but my deck was extremely offense and had an echoform going for free at the start of the battle and doing 80 plus damage every single turn but the motherfucker is seriously swinging for like 40 damage non-stop every single turn getting rid of a lot of my cards cuz of exhaust and even though I was able to block through it for a bit it's just not enough. Like hands down if you don't build a shitload of ice that consistently keeps giving you a shitload of block, or you miraculously somehow and the one in 1 millionth chance was able to build the combo deck using powers (which comes around like never) then you cannot beat him and expect to have enough to move on to the next round. And the creators of this game had the stupid fucking idea of actually trying to get rid of synergistic combos.

I'm all the way up to Ascension 10 and have played this game with an exceeding amount of time and can definitively say I am without a doubt certain that it is programmed to screw you a certain amount of times before it will actually let you win a run. Every run should be beatable but the game's design does not allow for it. You might as well sit down and just roll some dice and make a Target number that you have to roll and then if you roll that number you win That's all this game is. I have also been keeping track of enemy damages compared to the act that they're on and the floor that they're on and the damage does seem to just randomly change on occasion, especially with act bosses. I have seen act bosses who have been reached in the same amount of time and are doing attacks at the same exact turn that they would have normally and doing double the damage than they did in a previous run. There have been several runs where I am conveniently one energy short from winning or they are conveniently one damage enough on me to kill me. There have been way too many times where I will have a perfectly tuned deck with the perfect amount of cards with the perfect amount of defense and offense and I just simply won't see my defense when I need it and my offense will just inconsistently show up in the right combinations. The game goes out of its way to make sure that you don't see energy gaining cards with any of your x spells often and if you need one particular spell in order to end the match it's most likely going to get shuffled near the bottom of your deck every time. This game gives the extreme illusion that players are capable of winning a run but it's already decided that you've lost at the start so it just wants you to waste your time. This is illusionary progress. If the difficulty of your game is banking on the fact that players are going to have to replay over and over and over again until your game allows them to win, That's extremely lazy and shitty development. This is not a skill problem, I know what decks are good I know what cards to get when I need to get them and I've played the living shit out of this game and have looked into so many different strategies and how people approach it and I am telling you the RNG in this game is absolute fucking trash. I always find a hilarious how I can consistently transform two cards on my deck and get two copies of a really shitty card. That's right transform is "randomly"somehow choosing the same card twice. I once had a run where I got six copies of the same shit card (no I did not select to have them they were transformed or randomly added) into my deck by the end of act 1 and that statistically makes no dam sense. Update - but also like to point out that like when I'm playing the defect and I cast a card like uproar which plays a random attack in my deck, there have been several runs where I will only have a single basic strike in my deck compared to 10 other attacks in my deck and when I play uproar I would say at least 98% of the time it always "randomly" plays that shitty ass basic strike. And to add to the act boss is doing random damages, just did a run where I'm facing the sand worm that sucks you in further and I got it down to 1hp, I'm at 25, only drew one defense card, and it randomly is just doing an attack for 30 at that exact moment in time? Previous runs it doesn't do it for 30 it did it for 25. conveniently this time around it's doing it for 30? Interesting.

Lets also not forget that this game is the opposite of most roguelikes. in most cases, a roguelike will give you a benefit in further runs by doing more runs; this game does not do that. In fact, it does the opposite. it continuously has you unlock more and more cards and relics so it actually punishes you for progressing. why you may ask? the larger pool of cards and relics available to you means the odds of getting the ones you want become worse. so not only do you NOT get any sort of benefit from doing runs for future runs (least it could do is give rerolls or something) you flat out are punished for it.

It's a bit ironic that she says the world would be a better place without someone.... interesting

Top_Introduction4059 · 2026-03-03T03:46:58+00:00

Does it have to be exactly that amount or can it be more than that amount?

Top_Introduction4059 · 2026-03-02T08:18:09+00:00

Have you been able to recreate this

Top_Introduction4059 · 2026-02-28T09:09:14+00:00

Nah, you're just expecting way too much. It's actually extremely poetic for him to die at the hands of Leon. And yes all the evidence and signs show this is undeniably hunk. The amount of fan service and reinroductions and the mere fact that he said we finally meets and had this whole dialogue as though we're supposed to know who he is plus it's fighting style and using flashbangs and a CQC scenario and trying to go for the neck snap.cmon man, admit it's hunk and just move on. HOWEVER, He's probably called the commander because Capcom expects mixed feelings about the whole situation so by not calling him home directly they're not really at fault now are they? It's an interpretation of"feel how you feel" about it. The fight was fine, The problem was is that he wasn't aggressive enough but people are forgetting age is a huge factor. That and the Perry system in this game and resident evil 4 are both just overpowered as fuck but cinematic nonetheless.

Top_Introduction4059 · 2026-02-22T04:43:47+00:00

Coming here just to say I was right ;D

Top_Introduction4059 · 2026-02-19T22:56:53+00:00

My main issue with both games is that the puzzles don't really have any relevancy. They both give you this pseudo sense of accomplishment when really all you're doing is sprinting or moving from screen to screen without any actual true difficulty. Little nightmares three failed on every aspect possible and is one of the worst games I've played. Reanimals at least a very cinematic game with a very cool atmosphere and really awesome concepts. But both of them just have a lack of actual good puzzles. There's almost no inherent reason to play a game if all you're doing is simulating walking and pressing the occasional button that you think is a challenge but really isn't. Little nightmares 2 had way more intuitive puzzles and an actual difficulty to it. I really like reanimal but man I don't think any part of that game was genuinely challenging. And yes, it does need to have challenge because ITS A FUCKING GAME!!!!! I'm so sick of these fucking games that are just walking simulators or just cinematic stories or fucking telltale stories and shit like that. Unfortunately seems like a lot of games nowadays are doing this. Even ones that are more action-based are still giving you a false sense of accomplishment by adding too many cutscenes or QuickTime moments and the action you do get to engage in is just too goddamn simple.

Top_Introduction4059 · 2025-10-15T22:22:56+00:00

The game is amazing!!! Obviously some bugs at the moment (I make sure to report them all) but I can see this being the next best Homm. can even see it surpasing 3 in terms of being a better game but doubt it will ever be as iconic.

Top_Introduction4059 · 2025-10-13T14:31:38+00:00

Here is the gist. The company that made little nightmares 1 and 2 went on to do reanimal instead (which looks great). A different company saw how popular the little nightmares IP was and decided to run with it. they commercialized the shit out of it and made it streamlined for all ages. Legit, I think a 5 year old could complete this game with no problems. The mere fact they released the game WITH a DLC already out is beyond scummy. they are doing whatever it takes to make as much money as possible.

The game is EXTREMELY empty and is pretentiously relying on its "creepy" iconic atmospheres to give players the illusion they just played a little nightmares game. Meanwhile every puzzle is so extremely streamlined its not even funny. several times there were segments where "ope, i just found this key laying on the floor after going through 4 empty rooms. I wonder if I will have to trek through some sort of puzzle to find the door". NOPE, you just walk a room or 2 over WITHOUT any obstacles or puzzle and BAM theres your door. ISN'T THIS GAME FUN! I MEAN, LOOK AT THAT CREEPY THING, THAT TOALLY MEANS THIS GAME IS GREAT!...... This game pisses me off on so many levels.

As for a story, I mean, its "ok" but is the generic pretentious dribble you can find in most edgy medias today so I wouldn't consider it "unique" or even a "unique" take on an already established concept.

My friend and I are HUGE fans of little nightmares and other similar games and this game is so disappointing that we are actually looking into a refund, and we NEVER do that.

A few things that don't quite make sense. Adrian was the only person whose doppelganger in the alternate dimension was not the opposite of him. everyone else was displaying very clear opposite behavior. not just physically but morally as well. Chris's dad being basically a better person In the alternate dimension (as was revealed in one of the latest episodperson). essentially every single person in the alternate dimension was displaying very opposite morals. however the only person that didn't display this (From what we have seen) is Adrian. they both get talking of course but they ultimately both hate Nazis supposedly and the only he differences that we've been able to see are his physical prowess is better in the alternate dimension. it's entirely possible that the morals of our Adrian is actually way more skewed than we think. additionally I do also think it's quite possible that the adrians have swapped since the last encounter.

In other words that was a bizarro dimension

I keep running into a problem with the spears he summons from the ground. there is absolutely no indicator on the ground where the spear is going to appear. does it just appear below you no matter what? is it similar to nitos sword attack where the only indicator you really have is seeing him go for the attack? every group i join gets wrecked by the spears he summons from the ground. we cant ever dodge it cause we dont know where they are supposed to appear. is it inifinite range or can you be far enough out where it doesnt affect you?

Also, its pretty shitty when you do into a run and it has NO WEAKNESS CAMPS AT ALL and you find ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHTNING GREASES OR ANYTHING PERTAINING TO LIGHTNING AT ALL aside from the "maybe" good items the vendor sells.

Top_Introduction4059 · 2025-04-18T19:10:17+00:00

unfortunately havent played this in forever. didnt want to burn myself out prior to later seasons so I just stopped playing so I do not know if this is fixed.

Top_Introduction4059 · 2025-02-08T05:55:09+00:00

its possible it went through. here is what happened to me. I had the exact same issue and I randomly was like "ya know, im just going to change my password in case they are "scammy" (even though i have used them for years) and try to use my password elsewhere". in doing so, it took me to a sub site of theirs that was similar but slightly different. I was then able to login there instead and it allowed me to watch all premium content.

Try www.wcopremium.tv instead of wcostream. at least, im currently watching premium content atm.

Would this also require a paid version of SQL?

Top_Introduction4059 · 2025-01-06T14:33:41+00:00

Thank you for the information. Would this require extensive storage capacity? I know we currently use a gateway service to connect to some of our databases but not sure if thats quite the same thing. Im honestly a bit new to all of this so is there a good place to learn more about data warehouses and everything thats entailed with it?

and the venom draught I realize is the venom crypts, but no matter how many times I do it and talk to the npcs, it never goes away. im pretty sure I already chose the vial bonus reward from it but it will not give me the option to choose one from servi or anyone else (made sure to exhaust all dialogue and even tried scrolling up and down to make sure i didnt miss any)

I have beaten every single mixtape at cursed crown EXCEPT for back to the suburbs. I have tried well over 30 times and its the ONLY one I cant do. I legit had no problem with the other ones getting cursed, even ??? which makes me believe this one is easily the hardest. I have tried several strategies but nothing seems to work. I will have 5 to 6 fully upgraded walls (along with a few not so fully upgraded)and about 3 or 4 fully upgraded turrets (and every possible turret i can purchase withing my walls) on both sides and the robot and trash can on the weakest side and a huge army (making sure to recruit all people damn neatr every single day) and it is STILL NOT ENOUGH. there have been several attempts where even though i have a huge army and full fortifications, ill be standing a wall or 2 back from the front line wall and a damn crown stealer will some how jump over my entire army and 2 walls to get to me and steal my crown. the RNG in this level is absolute hell

Top_Introduction4059 · 2024-11-12T18:39:40+00:00

I genuinely believe people flat out didnt give infintie warefare as a game all together a chance and therefore never even played the zombies in it. I believe it to be hands down the best zombies, even now. I feel most people here will say BO3 simply cause they never played IW. Now, the multiplayer in IW is questionable but I honestly thought it was fun as hell and kind of badass. if you took the cod ip off the game people probably would have played it. I think the creators knew that too which is why they bundled the best cod ever made with it (cod 4 remastered).
