Just waiting for that PC Gamer 6/10 review because the reviewer couldn't kill the first story boss.
Who the devil are "We got this covered"... ahh for simpler times when you only had PC Gamer and PC Zone magazine (PC Zone was awesome)

doh well yeah they will add more stuff. The question is, will that stuff be any good. D1/D2 were from a totally different time period in gaming, so yeah can't really use those. I wouldn't D3 as an example as that was crap with a capital C.
When you consider the competition and what they have on a season/league basis, D4 has some big old boots to fill.
With any luck they will do a season where necromancers arent allowed minions. Damn ARPGs cluttering my screen up with dozens of needless player minions !

That's what they want you to think about it, meanwhile they make you feel fomo and sunk cost fallacy so you have an utterly miserable time unless you spend money, and it must get even more like this over time to keep you spending money.
Luckily I have more strength of character than that and I never find myself in the position of being utterly miserable unless I spend money in a game

If anything, I'll laugh at people who spend £20+ on a cosmetic. There'll be bunch of these idiots in each town, looking exactly the same.

heh ok guys, come back in a year and let us know what you spent
For me it will be zero, I've got 10s of thousands of hours over the last 25 years in MMOs (probably one of the most MTX genres there is) and never spent a penny on an mtx, so I think I'll be able to cope with not buying a capeheh ok guys, come back in a year and let us know what you spent

Won’t spend a penny on the game after buying it unless there’s an expansion at some point.
People need to chill with the micro transactions, they’re in all of Blizzards games now and most other AAA titles as well. As long as they remain cosmetic and don’t change gameplay I don’t see what the issue is.

The issue is that from Blizzard's perspective the game becomes about trying to get you to spend more on mtx. Every minute you play this game you are being manipulated to that end.

I'll prolly spend the tenner on the season pass but I would doubt that I would spend any on specific cosmetic.

Only if you are weak enough to be manipulated into thinking you need a cosmetic and frankly that says more about the player than the gamemaker.

It's not about being weak, advertising works, it hacks your brain and you can't resist it. If you think you can resist it you are wrong.
A bit, I went through eve online getting ruined by mtx. I really hate to see an otherwise good game go down that way.
I also feel a sense of duty to warn people about what they're getting into (even paying to get into!!! crazy stuff).

I can tell you now, I'll buy the season passes and that's that. You just assume we're some sort of irresponsible children swiping our parents' credit card, for whatever reason.heh ok guys, come back in a year and let us know what you spent
