Again,assumptions.If you personally like to buy things twice for your house doesnt mean the rest of the world does as well.

You would buy only one roll of toilet paper at a time?

That sounds highly inefficient.

You don't get the concept of consumables, do you?

 

Edit: And back to topic: It is nice that some get excited about a new Blizzard game.

Personally, I can't think of anything I could care less about.

But it's buying a product you already own, which was what they were talking about.

Buying Overwatch 2 when you already have Overwatch and calling it stupid is also a very big assumption that the two games are actually the exact same game (which they aren't; I bought WoW already, should I just get the expansion for free? "it's the same game!"), and a very big assumption that the buyer is being deceived into buying something they wouldn't normally want nor need to buy.

comparing video games to toilet papers,the logic of a random anonymous guy on the net :D

Given that the conversation is drifting  away from the actual post - either keep it on topic and keep the petty tit-for-tat out of it or I will just lock the post and prevent any further replies being made. It'd be a shame given that the whole purpose of news posts is for discussion.

Diablo 4?
Should be ready by 2035.

I'm pretty sure you've already done that many times in your life yourself.

Did you just assume he buys products? Of course not! He is one of those that guys that have the same TV, phone, net provider, PC since the day he was born! His Nokia 3310 will outlast him thankfully, so he won't have to give in to the greedy companies that make phones for the moneygrab!

You only own one knife, fork, and spoon? Shiiieeet. Toothpaste? You only buy once? That one tube is for the rest of your life? Gross teeth. Or to get even closer to the point. Do you still use an old CRT monitor/tv because it works, despite obvious advantages to new technologies? I'm not saying some titles aren't obvious moneygrabs, but come on.

 

Anyway, these are basically all assumptions. I somehow doubt there'll be an Overwatch 2 soonish, but who knows. D4 seems kind of likely, if nothing else to rectify the reception of D3. :D

Well, first of all I'm not a Blizzard fanboy, so it seems like you're the one putting the "ass" in assumption.  Secondly, you conveniently left the actual point out of the quote. Thirdly, Overwatch was only 40$ USD on PC, for the standard editon, as far as I recall, which is a lot of game for such a small amount. And lastly, I never said I'd actually buy an Overwatch 2 (which isn't even likely to happen in the timeframe speculated here).

I can only assume that he's only here to troll at this point? Or just very, very young.

And to the mods, I apologize that was my last off-topic post. :D

I hope you can see the contradiction in your own comment.

They will continue the Diablo story, even if it is repetitive and stale, because it is a name that attracts fans, which means more sales. As long as they are innovative, in a good way, I couldn't care less about the story. I don't play the game to kill Diablo, I play it to kill time. I just want something new. I am sure the vast majority of Diablo fans, who still pick the game up here and there, feel the same. Point being, I am very much looking forward to Diablo 4. If it means more people playing it, I am fine with Diablo 4 and a stale story over some new ARPG looter IP.

The Diablo lore became cheesy after some books were released. I don't really like the whole idea of "Chosen One" they went with in Diablo III. In Diablo I and II you were pretty much just a normal guy/gal hacking through monsters.

But much like you said, the core of Diablo is in its gameplay. But I sincerely hope that in Diablo IV they make sets less impactful and allows for diverse ways of gameplay and builds. Because currently you can diverse much, whereas in Diablo II you could.

I couldn't agree more. Sets are cool, but I prefer making my own builds with legos. Having sets creates a meta that is required for leader boards. I am not one to push higher than 95 anyway, so no biggie, but it would be nice to get back to having randomness in builds and avoiding sets.

      Gamescom is back in August this year, and Blizzard have announced they will be present at the Xbox booth! 
      The event starts on August 21st and runs until the 25th, with War Within, the next WoW expansion, releasing a day after that (or right in the middle of the show on the 23rd for those with early access), so we might get some exciting news on it at the show. Then there's Vessel of Hatred, the new Diablo 4 expansion, as we should get some new info on it as well, with its October 8th release date also looming. The press release also mentions Diablo Immortal and Overwatch 2 will be involved.
      Xbox also announced this year they will have their biggest booth at the event yet, with the Activision Blizzard merger certainly helping with that! 
      And here's the full press release.
      gamescom
      Blizzard Entertainment® is thrilled to confirm their presence at this year’s gamescom, returning to Cologne in celebration of two of their hottest launches of 2024: World of Warcraft®: The War Within™ and Diablo IV®: Vessel of Hatred™.

      This year’s show promises to bring even more excitement, as Blizzard Entertainment will have a robust footprint alongside other Xbox Game Studios in the Xbox booth, as they come together to celebrate upcoming games and connect with the community in Europe and around the world.

      “We are incredibly excited to bring Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch to our European community at gamescom,” said Johanna Faries, President of Blizzard Entertainment. “It’s wonderful to be able to travel to Cologne alongside some of our talented developers so that we can gather with players and celebrate the special connections that continue to be forged within our universes together.”
       
      World of Warcraft will be celebrating the launch of The War Within, the first entry in the ambitious Worldsoul Saga. With the global launch set for August 26 - one day after gamescom - it’s the perfect opportunity for the community to celebrate together. Players with the Epic Edition or physical Collector’s Edition of The War Within can play when early access goes live on August 23rd.
       
      Diablo will also be in full force at the event, bringing the world of Sanctuary to gamescom with Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred and Diablo Immortal.
      
      Overwatch 2 will have a joint stand with Porsche, highlighting their new collaboration featuring a life-sized D.Va statue modeled after the new all-electric Macan and inviting fans to enter a real-life rendition of an iconic Overwatch 2 map.

      Some great news for Chinese players, as Blizzard have signed a new agreement with NetEase, and players will be returning to their games as early as summer 2024! 
      Most Blizzard games were suspended in January of 2023, with players losing access to their characters and being unable to play World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft III: Reforged, Overwatch, the StarCraft series, Diablo III, and Heroes of the Storm, due to an expired licensing agreement. Luckily, a new deal has now been made!
      A lot of WoW players decided to re-roll brand new characters on Taiwanese and Korean servers after the old deal stopped. Their old character data is saved, however, but it will be from back before patch 10.1, so it's going to be a tough decision on how to proceed for them. Perhaps Blizzard can come up with a solution to merge the accounts?
      Here's the full press release:

      According to WSJ, Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard, has floated the idea of buying TikTok to potential partners.
      Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has reportedly shown interest in purchasing TikTok, as legislation in the U.S. threatens to ban or force the sale of the popular app over national security concerns.
      Kotick is said to be seeking partners for the potential acquisition, discussing the opportunity with notable figures including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The move comes amid growing scrutiny over TikTok's data privacy practices and its ties to China, with U.S. lawmakers pushing for decisive action.
      You can read the whole news piece over at WSJ.
      Bobby Kotick left his position at Activision Blizzard in December 2023 after Microsoft finalized its purchase of the company. Post-acquisition, he reportedly received over $375 million, as detailed by Forbes.

      Blizzard games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Overwatch 2 might soon make a comeback in China, thanks to Blizzard reportedly teaming up again with NetEase.
      The news comes from Core Esports, which suggests Blizzard's game services could be back by the end of March or the beginning of April.
      After 14 years of partnership, Blizzard and NetEase hit a rough patch in 2022, leading to failed negotiations. Consequently, when the licensing agreement concluded on January 23, 2023, Blizzard's game services were suspended across mainland China.
