Heads up, I just saw on ResetEra that Grubb is apparently going to talk about what WON'T be at the showcase tomorrow on his Grubbsnax...Which basically is a roundabout way of confirming what will be there...Couldn't wait a few more days, Lol.

Bastard

You're just as much an insider as them then.

I am now taking your predictions as gospel and will flame you until you start crying and I get perma'd if wrong.



The game is alot of fun and looks really nice. Currently level 22 and have gotten decent gear from drops. Haven't tried pvp though. It will be like any mmo where the grind is real and if u can't be bothered to grind then u pay money. 

At least its not forced.

From what I have read about concerning the game, the actual story, gameplay and fun factor is really good and the microstransaction stuff actually is not needed to finish the game.  You can actually finish the game without paying a dime, where the microtransaction come into play is for End Game, PVP type people who want to max out their character with Legendary items.  I was going to avoid this game but I actually do not care about cosmetics and End Game type stuff like this.  The game prays on the trinket crowd which is pretty much what every mobile free to play game does.  Since I am immune to such grubbing's, I believe I should have a great time with this game.

Apparently Grubb doesn't know what is happening at the showcase, it's locked down, he was only able to confirm two games which won't be there.

Spoiler!
Fable and Perfect Dark

Bravo, so far, to Microsoft for keeping the showcase tight lipped. 

Although I'm still betting on the entire thing leaking several hours prior to the start of the showcase lol

I could have told you that since I don’t expect them to be 2023 titles anyway.

I don’t expect any major surprises from MS outside of some 3rd party ports to Xbox, almost everything they have in their umbrella has been leaked or rumored and all they have to do now is make official announcements.

You realise there are other dungeon crawlers made for single-player experiences, including every other Diablo game and a multitude of clones. Have you put so much time into all of them that you'd stoop to playing a smartphone mmo, which are all made with the intention of sucking you into Endgame grinds and microtransactions? Are you being paid to give this game a shot or something?

Whatever stories people are making up to convince themselves they're not wasting their time, the reality is that 90% of every mmo is designed for the intention of Endgame/longevity. Thinking you can ignore that aspect is just deluding yourself into enjoying a shallow experience when there are better alternatives.



Not paid at all to play it. How do I get into that? 

Diablo Immortal is just a game that I play whenever I take public transport or when I am bored from gaming on consoles. That doesn't happen often. 

Its better than nino kuni one that goes for crypto and reports of supporting nfts. With all the mobile games that I tried, this isnt really bad. U are not forced to pay for microtransactions. Its your personal choice. Having a choice is good for players as not many like to do the mmo grind. 

I have tried all diablo games including their clones and looking forward to diablo 4 whenever it comes out. You have forgotten when swotor first came out, it suffered for having no end game. It improved later on which diablo would. 

Remember ff14. It had to be redone after the Initial launch before it became good. No games perfect but its far from bad that everyone makes it sound like.

Yeah, no kidding. That's why they were miserable failures; MMOs are designed for Endgame, but few are as predatory as Diablo Immortal. It doesn't cost much to buy a Switch Lite which has several good dungeon-crawlers available to it. No gamer should be making the excuse that they get bored and only have a smartphone to keep them busy.
