Hell yes OP. I'm really disappointed with the direction they've gone. Frankly, Path of Exile does it better.

I wanted more Deckard, more Followers, more Whimsyshire.

Instead I didn't even finish the campaign. It's such a yawnfest.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I can kind of understand where the dudebros are coming from, even if I don't have any precious memories of D1 or D2. It's been widely known that D3 was considered a step down in the series since it first came out. I don't have the attachment to D1 or D2 that others do, but I probably still won't get D4 (or any other ActiBlizz games) anytime soon.

(Story, though? I'm still a little sad about Leah.)

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly I don't remember the story of D3 at all, that's how little it stuck with me. There was uh, a girl who was randomly Deckard Cain's relative out of nowhere and then she became Diablo for some reason and that's it. I never really got the sense of a larger world, or a larger world or society in danger

I remember shipping the templar and the sorc mercs tho

We still play Diablo 3, so some of us definitely enjoy it for more than simply the storyline.

M SO would likely still be playing 1 and 2 if they were on the Switch.

That was fun

[raspberryrain]

Interesting. I like mashups. A lot going on in that one. Pretty fun.

I always try to sing the Green Day/Nelly Country Basket mashup when I hear either song. It's a disaster, lol.

I love it though.

[The Last of Us Part II]

Yeah, like. I don't know if this is the point you were trying to make, OP, but Joel absolutely earned the way his story ends. And I really appreciated how this sequel told a different story than the previous game.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's a pretty bad game. More narratively than gameplay wise, imo.

I was indifferent about Joel's chickens coming home to roost, but I reject Joel and his brother being that relaxed and off-guard around strangers. It was out of character and contrived.

It also bothers me Ellie spontaneously lost her 'echolocation' ability when stalking Abby, but Abby still had hers. It took me out of the game. Not the story, but the actual game. I literally paused the game and wondered why Ellie stumbled around searching for Abby like an NPC. It made no sense.

What did take me out of the story is how Abby could never have that physique under those circumstances. I don't care how stable her settlement was. That build requires so much effort and special conditions to maintain, it's not even funny. I might've bought it if she didn't have other things to do like the survival of not just herself but an entire enclave, but apparently TLoU game makers wanted me to believe Abby had time to do all that and mad lift five days a week, minimum. I was also supposed to believe Abby had access to the calories needed to build and maintain her muscle mass with no problems.

Worst of all I dislike 'I will kill countless minions' protags who don't kill the boss because "insert your inane I've gone too far trope here." It's cliched storytelling that was played out years ago.

Such a disappointment considering how damn near perfect Part 1 is on every level.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, you're not wrong. I was both surprised and unsurprised by the levels of mental gymnastics people did to deify their video game proxy father after the ending of the first game was a pretty resounding condemnation of his character and a guarantee that his relationship with Ellie was going to be destroyed forever as soon as she found out.

I think it was kind of mediocre as a game (but so was the first one, gameplay-wise, with a bog-standard plot albeit with an above-standard delivery) but the mass hysteria over the logical continuation of the plot and themes (and the trans character!!! and the muscular woman!!!!!!! ohhhh noooooooooooo) exceeded my lowest expectations and then some.

Wish Pearl was still in it. I bet she'd've liked a bit of rough with Bear.

Or Edna. That would have been a riot.

Yeah, I also miss the professor's original look. If nothing else, I hope they give the new one a hat. He just looks better with a hat!

Oh man, same. If it's not there in the canon then I don't want it in fics either, you know? It's one thing if the canon itself actually deals with those topics, but otherwise, I want fic that matches the tone of the canon, because that's part of why I enjoyed the canon in the first place.

Like, a gritty detective drama that spends a lot of screentime on the MC's mental state? Sure, gimme dark and gritty fics about him dealing with the aftermath of some of the stuff he's had to see in his line of work. A fun, upbeat adventure show where characters go through some tough stuff but everyone is always fine by the next episode? I want fic that has a similar tone.
