Thank you for sticking by your principles. You probably could've made most of this review and walked away with BlizzBucks. Your audience trusts your opinion and you could've easily cashed in on that without us questioning it. You could've gotten a review out early and potentially brought a lot of new eyes to the channel. You didn't compromise and that deserves a ton of respect. But you can't eat respect, so you deserve cash too.

Solid review! Props for sticking to your guns on the sponsorship offer. Your opinions and insights are most welcome, especially in regards to microtransactions.

For me, macrotransactions in a $70 game are unacceptable, even if they're just cosmetics. Additionally, these battle passes borrowed straight from free-to-play games solely to extract more money from buyers, regardless of how good the game is. It doesn't matter that they're optional; they're present, and you can't obtain them unless you pay. I miss the old days when items like these were rewards for challenging achievements or hidden, waiting to be discovered.

@@yaldabaoth2 Well to be fair, every game should hopefully be guilty of that. I think the warning sign is when the game manipulates or leverages addictions to get you feel you need/want to pay more money for the micro-transactions. Even then I guess I'm a little more ok when its upfront and clear (gambling casinos), but I agree that micro-transactions don't bode well and make me hesitant. To Scorpio, just be double check yourself to make sure you know why you spend on micro-transactions if you ever feel the pull to do it to advance. I liked Elden Ring, Darkest Dungeon because it was enjoyable and felt like an adventure crafted and designed to challenge me and provide fun. Analogy is a DnD campaign with a DM who likes telling good tales, enjoys DMing, fair challenges, etc., that I like. VS. a DM who throws high level monsters and then says "pay me $5 and I'll give you +2 gear.". Not sure I can articulate why I prefer the first over the latter, but I do.

The only issue I have had in this game is more to do with the cool downs on character skills. Big mobs rush you and you use your skill that lasts like 6-8 seconds and than it has a cooldown for like 15-20 seconds, it really slows down combat to have such long cool downs and can at times make your character feel like a wet blanket while they wait for their skill to cooldown otherwise the game is quite fun :P
@Evanz111 Жыл бұрын
Damn, I thought that was just my poor build on my Rogue. About 60% of my combat time involves using the basic skill, and for context: my basic skill is the one that increases my resource regen. Yet I’m still always out of energy, despite only having a single active skill and the rest being on cool-downs.
@rickyskegg Жыл бұрын
Cooldowns is a ridiculous concept that MMORPGs plagued the genre with. In the best classic RPGs like wizardry or might and magic, you could just unload your OP spells as you wanted as long as you had mana reserves. Cooldowns make it more like a Simon says game and limits options.
@olivergottkehaskamp3369 Жыл бұрын
This is something that is only true during the early game however. With my tornado druid for example I just need a little bit of initial spirit to get going, after that the tornados themselves generate enough spirit to just keep spamming them with the occasional top-up via my basic attack skill and I'm level 71 with mediocre gear, only properly starting on torment now. Same for the big cooldowns - initially, Grizzly Rage has a 50 second cooldown and 10 second uptime which sounds, and is, kinda lame. However, with a complete build in the endgame, it reaches 100% uptime. It'd be kinda weird to just start out with no cooldowns on the biggest abilities and infinite resources, removing a massive part of the progression and just generally the feeling of getting stronger.

Great review with highly detailed information on the game mechanics. Thank you and much appreciated. Am playing a Necromancer though i was tempted to also play a Druid since i love the creepy elemental spells. Fortunately the Necromancer has some similar vine tearing enemies apart spells as well. Too bad we cannot effect the size, shape of our characters bodies during the creation process. That is one chunky barbarian. Love the voice acting and music which really brings it home. One thing i find distracting but not a big deal is seeing other players running around in my game like in DESTINY where interaction can be turned off but they are still visible. Gets a bit immersion breaking when seeing some of the hokey player names as they run around. Happy gaming and thanks again ☕

Given the nature of this game, we'll let you off for not 100%ing the game to set you apart from other reviewers on the platform. Seriously though, really enjoyed the video. Solid commentary as always! My two main criticisms so far are the ultra texture pack devours vram even on higher end cards and sometimes the lower texture settings seem like the don't always fully load some textures. Also, the some spell effects can completely obscure what's going on like the necro's corpse explosion fart cloud. They could do with making them a bit less opaque in order to see better.

I'll probably grab it when it's heavily discounted later on but, for now, I feel like I've seen enough to know it's not worth paying full price for. Was just a little bit repetitive and the open world is big ..but empty...mostly just a lot of walking with nothing to do on the journey. The presence of orher players added very little, if anything. NPC interactions were mostly just the one line of dialogue repeated every time you spoke to them. Dungeons all seemed procedurally generated... indistinguishable from the last one or the next one. Cutscenes were great though.

I'm having fun with it. Do not regret spending $70. One thing that really has struck me is how much I'm enjoying playing a Barbarian! I usually play casters or ranger-types in top down ARPGs. To me, the Rogue feels a little too slow, though. I don't like the cooldown on the dodge/roll. But the Barb feels FAST (for a Barb). It reminds me of my favorite melee build in one of these games ever: A Shaman/Soldier 2H specialist in Grim Dawn. Level scaling is something I'm worried about, though. I want the power fantasy. It's one thing these games are all about, IMO. I want to be able to grind a little to get overleveled. I like being able to control my "difficulty setting" by grinding or not grinding. That's another thing Grim Dawn did right: Bounded level scaling...Not just 1:1 100% of the time. MTX and how they do the expansion(s) is another thing I'm worried about. I don't want to be nickel and dimed. I want to buy one big expansion like I did for D2 and D3. I hate how the Necro in D3 is its own $20 purchase. We know we've got 2 expansions coming (Blizz said so) and we know they need to drop in at least one of the holy boys (Paladin, Monk, Crusader)...as their absence from the game right now is glaring. I'm glad (for your sanity) you don't consider the whole 100% thing with a game like this. It's OK, man. You are a machine and you don't have to 100% anything for me to pay attention to your reviews. It's icing.

Very nice thoughtful review! I was struck by how you generally had a positive reaction to everything actually in the game, I’ve been playing it casually (as parenthood and adulthood allows) since prerelease and just beat the level 50 capstone dungeon and my reaction has largely been positive too (personal gripes about necro minions getting shredded like tissue paper aside). Your final comment about how if Blizzard added any pay to win mechanics then you would no longer recommend the game struck a chord with me, and it took a little time to articulate why. I actually don’t think a “pay to win” mechanic would bother me; I’m in my mid 30s, and while gaming is still my major hobby life has decreed I only play a couple of hours a day at most, and frequently less than that. I’m not going to compete on a seasonal leaderboard or in PVP, so if other people pay for advantages then in my mind they’re paying for future content that I get to casually enjoy for free. That said, if any QoL features are paywalled (my first thoughts were for more inventory space, a faster Mount or some kind of auto loot/sell/salvage) I’d be pretty annoyed as I would feel like I was being put in a worse off situation due to corporate greed.
