Title is weird with how it could be interpreted to mean mtx was $1 billion.

So for people who might be confused

150 million dollars from in-game microtransactions.

1000M/150M = 666% That title is at least 666% misleading.

This is excellent publicity that convinces me not to even try that game.

It's trash

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Gotta install D2 now

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They killed it with D2R. I was so scared they wouldn’t, but it’s fantastic.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is that some d2 remake? I'm so out of the loop :-)

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That is! Came out a couple years ago. It is one of the best remakes I’ve ever played! After the WC3 disaster I had no hope, but the smashed it out of the park. I heavily recommend it if you loved Diablo II!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thank you!

Is it like D2 with the expansion pack?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Yep! Full LoD. Full controller support. Tons of added stuff that fits PERFECTLY with Diablo II. Tons of new runewords and items and events. It’s an absolute banger at like 40USD.

I'm still pissed I bought that piece of shit game

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I barely got through the story on my first character. Every other Diablo, I did at least one full run in every class.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I fell asleep playing the game... Twice.

There's just something that makes me so bored.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm right there with you. I won't deny that there's a chance that it's just a side effect of being old, but I nodded off more than a few times.

I can't put my finger on it either, but everything just felt like a chore. I must quit playing it for months and only fired it up to finish the story because I knew I had to be close, and I couldn't leave it like that.

[–] Minnels@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Can't say that I enjoyed the story but I think the game is in pretty good shape right now after a couple of seasons. If you like to just kill stuff at least.
