I'm scared, has my world been reset Matrix style? Why did I get a PS I Love You with Tim hosting and a Gamescast with Greg hosting today? It was strange but I liked it.
Did you? I finished the main game and a bunch of side quests but after the fury against fate quest bug which stopped me from finishing that side quest I rushed and finished the main story. Good game, just a few bugs that do my head in..
I'm the 300th like i'm looking forward to playing diablo 4 ultimate edition June 1st & final fantasy 16 June 22nd on my PS5 I just bought the firecuda 530 4tb ssd with heatsink.🥂😁
I think the only flight against Diablo IV will be the one thing many of us wanted open world. We literally have the ability to jump from one app to the other at any given moment. I think that could break how we follow the story. Act one may focus on one area act to make focus on another main quest line, but I think there’s the risk that we could be going down the act, one quest line, and then suddenly go off to act two and do some other things, and forget what we were doing in act one and lose the flow of the story. I hope that makes sense because all of these acts come together to tell a story but it’s very difficult to tell a story with three different branching paths that are going to have to connect back together. It’s one thing to follow a linear store, which goes from act one to act 2 to 3 and then for it’s another thing to have a shotgun blast of material or you can go wherever you want whenever you want and it’s ultimately going to end some type of way.
I've played an hour tops of diablo 3 but I'm hyped and pre ordered 4. Also I just bought diablo 2/3 bundle for £12 off the xbox store , thanks to the "just for you" deal !
Greg and Joey probably should've held off on scoring this like Mike did. Pretty much all of the "negatives" you listed were related to being unsure about post-launch support. It was big "I wanna give it a 5 but don't wanna regret it later" energy.
They seemed pretty transparent to me that was exactly what they were doing and doing so intentionally. That's why they preface the discussion with it being a review in progress.
Wish I had the time to do one of the betas. I really didn't vibe with so much of Diablo 3, but Diablo 4 has been such an event, I really want to try it out!
I know Joey isn't on content that often, and I do appreciate their perspective and enjoyed them on this episode. However, hearing audible coughing (at least 10 times even before the first ad break) is a bit uncomfortable as a listener. Thank you!
D2 and d3 Best mp rpg games until lost ark got its western release last year. And d4 beta was great in mp aswell. You got no reason to be Lonely in a diablo games.
“It’s just going to be cosmetics!” …from the publisher that flat out said crash team racing wouldn’t have microtransactions before adding them RIGHT AFTER the review period. Hopefully they’re being honest.
Thousands of hours of Diablo has me looking forward to this game, but I'm a little bummed with the class selection and lack of anything new. But I'll be playing Barbarian for sure.
Controller has one big problem, which is targeting. Teleport and Leap skills can't be targeted and they have a ridiculously small range compared to using a mouse. I really wanted to play this on my PS5 but I think I'll end up getting it on pc.
I think I’m a little unsure on what these season resets mean. When a new season starts, do I have to make a new character and do the campaign again, or does it get me to that post-campaign level and right to the endgame for my new character?
Seasons can be confusing at first, essentially with every season you have a chance to start all over again - with each season usually having a theme, new mechanic, new items or quests associated with it to keep things different from previous seasons. You'll have to create a new character (from level 1) to join each new season but once it ends that character gets ported to the evergreen base game where you can keep playing with it for as long as you like As far as having to re-do the campaign the devs have said once you've completed it the first time you'll be able to skip it for any future character you make, but do have in mind that it won't put you in endgame levels - it's still a level 1 character you just don't have to re-do the campaign
I never played a Diablo game, but the story has always seemed interesting. I played the D4 beta and loved it, but hearing out it being full priced and crammed full of monetization is an immediate ‘nope’ from me. Maybe the ABK deal will go through soon and it will get added to gamepass before it’s too late. I’d like to play but I’m not paying $70 on top of recurring charges and being beat over the head to buy cosmetics as well.
Assuming all the MTX is cosmetic, just don't buy them. Diablo was never about how you looked, it was about how fast can you kill the minions of hell. Of course it is ABK.... they'll always find a way to screw their customers.
Battle pass is fine to support the game for its seasons . Even though I bet the game will make enough cash with its sales . But its the MT to buy different versions of your armor sets that will annoy me if they look better than what's the game. Why not just include that stuff in the BP
I think the scaling you talked about when you joined to help Joey with a boss is the single worst thing about diablo 4. In excited for it but man is that awful
Scaling is horrible for this game. The fun of arpgs is getting amazing loot to make yourself a strong as humanly possible. You level up at some point and you become weaker
I hope that the battle passes are extremely valuable for the money as well as not giving anyone a leg up just from paying money. And I hope they don’t make things too expensive considering they already made the cost of the game $70…so I think wanting to make their battle pass $20-$30 per month or every 2-3 months that is asking way too much of players. Just my opinion. It would be a different story if the game was free to play.
I did enjoy playing the Beta very much, but it seems like those grindy sorta games that you won't be having super fun until you're a beefed up player. I'll have to check it out again for real this time.
I love that we can create a character but in 2023 it is so far from being a good character creator! Sure the tattoos/markings and some of the makeup and jewelry is cool. BUT OVERALL IT IS LACKING OR WAY TOO SIMPLE FOR MY LIKING. If you want players to have unique characters…giving them all the same body, about 4 hairstyles that don’t look ridiculous, hair color THAT IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING (they do not look how you want them to look ever…literally the white option barely looks dark dark gray and I mean DARK gray maybe they are ageist? Haha), so many of the faces are so bad or strange especially for the Druid class, Eye color is like the only thing that is almost as cool as it should be but still think they should have brighter more vivid noticeable options, etc. My biggest gripe is the hair color. I want white hair and it is l dark gray?! WTF! Also for the colors like blue, green, red, purple, etc THEY ARE SO FAR FROM BEING BRIGHT, COLORFUL, AND COOL just imagine if there was a color selector where you can customize the color! Why isn’t ice blue ICE BLUE instead of a dull more “natural” color? AND IMAGINE HAIR THAT LITERALLY HAS A STARRY NIGHT SKY EFFECT?! My second biggest gripe is the lack of getting to choose a body type. I understand wanting classes to be visibly recognizable….But isn’t that why the outfits ans gear are recognizable by class? And I get they felt Barbarians shouldn’t be allowed to be skinny but they could still follow those rules and still give players a small, medium, and large versions of that character’s build. They could have given players options in body type and still making each of those recognizable by class. I want to make a tall slender more athletic Druid like Keylith from Vox Machina or a more elvish looking Druid. Or make a muscle daddy or mommy Sorcerer(ess). Or a Muscular rogue. Or a slightly smaller barbarian that is more of a Martial arts body than a mass obsessive bodybuilder. The eye color options are fun font get me wrong…however having seen the character builder from almost a year ago they had way more options that were really fun. Like glowing yellow/gold, bright blue, green, or red eyes. I just think they should have more options. Imagine full white glowing eyes like Raiden. Or fully black eyeballs like demons from Supernatural. A glazed over blind option. Or two tone eyes like one being fully white no iris or pupil and the other being whatever color you want. Or reptilian or cat eyes. Or yet again A COLOR SELECTOR/SLIDER that lets you pick custom colors. AND FACE AND HAIR OPTIONS HAVE WAY TOO FEW THAT ACTUALLY LOOK DECENT. I just feel like there are so many existing face models and hairstyles for video games that they could have easily just copied or put their spin on it. But nope they gave us very few uninspired faces and hair. Don’t get me wrong there are 2-3 decent hair options for non-black characters and 2 options decent for black characters.
Greg, you keep mentioning fromsoft games is not your jam. However there are games that you give a 5/5 -which is Star Wars also god of war, and even Zelda they all take aspects from fromsoftware I genuinely feel like he would love Elden ring you just gotta give it a chance
Could just be the specific way they play. The guys you listed all take aspects of fromsoft games and do them just slightly different. Or possibly the art style. Fromsoft is dark gritty fantasy and those examples have more of a fantastical art style. Even god of war will still being gritty has a brighter color palette.
For me I think the character creator is a great addition but I hate some of the choices they’ve made in the creator! From the hair colors being dull and not all too different minus a few selections. Hair styles being quite awful lol. And why are the Druid’s so strange looking while every other class is fairly attractive if you tweak the other options. I WOULD HAVE LOVED IF YOU COULD SELECT BODY TYPES! Sure they could still make Barbarians only be able to make so small/skinny because they have to have some bulk and muscle to them. BUT WHY CANT DRUIDS BE THINNER OR HAVE A MORE ATHLETIC MUSCULAR BODY? Why can’t I make a jacked Sorcerer? Or a thicc sorcerer? Or a MUSCLE DADDY OR MOMMY ROGUE? To me it doesn’t make sense why they couldn’t have added that in? Also I think the face options are severely lacking they all look pretty much the same…traditionally handsome or pretty Caucasian or not as attractive option Caucasian 2…and that goes for every race minus Indian or Indigenous/Native American.

Love when joey makes a KF games appearance!
This is KFG Vol. 2, Episode 180 (Episode 432 overall)
Damn you’re a real G
Mike calling Lilith the "Big Baddie" is hilarious and he's not wrong tbh lmao
That's a double entendre 😂
Damn Diablo 4 and street fighter 6 review in the same day. We are in a crazy time for gaming
Insane.
Great crew in this vid!
Love seeing Joey on a review!
Damn I feel sorry for reviewers I can not imagine playing till level 48 and having that taken away
The whole concept of Diablo seasons is starting over with new characters lol
That's what hardcore would be if you die too lol
You know a game review's gonna be good when Joey shows up.
Oooohhhh this was the podcast Mike was getting ready for. LOL
I will likely sink a stupid amount of time into this game
Same
I would too if ToTK, SF6, FF16, and armored core weren’t launching right after each other
Did you? I finished the main game and a bunch of side quests but after the fury against fate quest bug which stopped me from finishing that side quest I rushed and finished the main story. Good game, just a few bugs that do my head in..
This my first diablo game and I’m obsessed with it…
DIABLO 4 will keep me busy until STARFIELD comes
loving the street fighter 4 background for the Diablo 4 review lol
Mike is extremely well spoken. I appreciate that.
Does anyone know if you need ps plus to play solo?
This is my marvel heroes and ESO replacement game. Glad to hear it mentioned.
I'm the 300th like i'm looking forward to playing diablo 4 ultimate edition June 1st & final fantasy 16 June 22nd on my PS5 I just bought the firecuda 530 4tb ssd with heatsink.🥂😁
I think the only flight against Diablo IV will be the one thing many of us wanted open world. We literally have the ability to jump from one app to the other at any given moment. I think that could break how we follow the story.

Hell yeah, glad to hear about the store changes - living in AUS, those shipping prices yikes! Love your work guys
I've played an hour tops of diablo 3 but I'm hyped and pre ordered 4. Also I just bought diablo 2/3 bundle for £12 off the xbox store , thanks to the "just for you" deal !
Greg and Joey probably should've held off on scoring this like Mike did. Pretty much all of the "negatives" you listed were related to being unsure about post-launch support. It was big "I wanna give it a 5 but don't wanna regret it later" energy.

Wish I had the time to do one of the betas. I really didn't vibe with so much of Diablo 3, but Diablo 4 has been such an event, I really want to try it out!
And it runs buttery smooth on the steam deck. Lets goooo
I know Joey isn't on content that often, and I do appreciate their perspective and enjoyed them on this episode. However, hearing audible coughing (at least 10 times even before the first ad break) is a bit uncomfortable as a listener. Thank you!
Ditto.
My only problem is that I don't have enough time to play all these great games.
Same
Lol Mike pushing Diablo 2 & 3 😆
I’ve never played a Diablo game in my life. Not sure if I will but this has me interested.
Well you guys just sold me on trying 3. Should arrive Thursday for my switch.
Diablo always made me feel lonely but luckily the necromancer always gets mages, trolls, and corpses. The beta was very enjoyable.
D2 and d3 Best mp rpg games until lost ark got its western release last year. And d4 beta was great in mp aswell. You got no reason to be Lonely in a diablo games.
Diablo is a major nerdy PC game... How did Greg Miller get into it?
We need more Joey in our KF lives
Any plans for making a Kinda Funny Clan?
15 Min into the podcast, and Greg convinced me! This is gonna be my first Diablo, can’t wait.
Marvel heroes ❤ miss that game so much
“It’s just going to be cosmetics!” …from the publisher that flat out said crash team racing wouldn’t have microtransactions before adding them RIGHT AFTER the review period.
Hopefully they’re being honest.
Yay joey
Thousands of hours of Diablo has me looking forward to this game, but I'm a little bummed with the class selection and lack of anything new. But I'll be playing Barbarian for sure.
Joey!!! Going to be a good one❤
I can’t wait to jump in this weekend, this feels like the kind of game that’s going to convince me to get a Backbone controller
I've been playing the shit out of diablo 2 & 3 on backbone and it's been one of the greatest investments I've made in gaming.
I’m glad Blizzard can still make a good video game
Controller has one big problem, which is targeting. Teleport and Leap skills can't be targeted and they have a ridiculously small range compared to using a mouse. I really wanted to play this on my PS5 but I think I'll end up getting it on pc.

Joey! Joey! Joey!
Mike is the biggest yes man…
Smell that? It’s review season
👨🏾🍳
To think any other game is going to win GOTY besides TotK is just living in total delusion.
Clickbait title for sure lol
A hardcore marathon stream would be awesome 👍
Marathon release date hasn’t been announced, hehe.
@@sturat18
Marathon stream, meaning a long streaming session.
I'm very hyped for this game. But I've barely scratched the surface of Zelda yet lmao I ain't got time for this to be dropping.

I’m so in on Diablo IV! Love it
You're gonna be suprised by how many people are going to absolutely hate the Seasonal model of making new characters every 3 months.
I enjoyed the beta and now all the reviews including yours are very positive. Looks like I'm buying it.
Didnt really gel with Diablo 3. Also not a fan of battle passes. But this game does sound tempting.
Here we goooo
Loving the game so far level 23. I do disagree with you're opinion on the character creator. Didn't find it all the good personally.
Can’t wait
people who play a game in easy mode have no place reviewing games. sorry.
Cant wait!! Great video
Loving Diablo 4
I think the scaling you talked about when you joined to help Joey with a boss is the single worst thing about diablo 4. In excited for it but man is that awful
Damn Jery all about the live service.
the girl seems unqualified to sit in this panel. has no knowledge and doesnt even know mount unlock quest
Scaling is horrible for this game. The fun of arpgs is getting amazing loot to make yourself a strong as humanly possible. You level up at some point and you become weaker
Full price $70 game and it still has a battle pass, so lame
Most modern games have battle passes.
Yay D4🎉❤
I'm one of those that's never played a Diablo but I'm super interested in this game.
I would maybe get it if FF16 wasn't coming out 2 weeks later.
One hour to play!
Shoutout to Portillos, Games over Greggy reppin Chicagoland

Their battle pass is confirmed to only be $10. It'll probably last a few months like most other games.
It's $10 for a 3 month season
I'm in!
no way it's beats out zelda for goty
Cringe how Joey coughs directly into her hands multiples times, then proceeds to put her hands on the table 🤢
havent really paid attention to this and just learned that this is a gaas and thats so fucking disappointing
The guy breathing in aggressively before he talks, I couldn’t focus on the podcast at all
It’s really good but it’s def not game of the year. That’s Zelda and it’s not even close
Constant ice and coughing is distracting.
It always bugs me when a game that was made for PC as a primary transitions to primary of console...
I did enjoy playing the Beta very much, but it seems like those grindy sorta games that you won't be having super fun until you're a beefed up player. I'll have to check it out again for real this time.
Ironically this is one of the series that made that aspect of leveling up awesome, now every game thinks they need it like sports games.
