    D4 is objectively a worst game than LE, I agree. But in my situation, when I play looter, I play D4 because I can get right in. I haven't played this season, but in 2 mins I could be logged in and on my way to do what I like in D4. D3 already had adventure mode, so the MMO argument is not valid. D4 iterated on that. In D4, once you've unlocked everything in a realm (hardcore or softcore), the unlocks that matter (skill points, obols and paragon) are forever unlocked in or out of season. You don't need to do renown unless you want the gp reward and the xp boost. It does not block your character to be at its strongest, unlike LE where I need all the totem slots and passive points in the campaign for each char. I have 150ish hours in both, thoughI haven't played LE in a while because I don't have the will to go through the campaign again and the performance isn't that great. Though it's mostly because of the campaign. The performance is just another friction to add to that. To get the skip in LE, I need to get to act 5, skip to act 9 and complete the quests for totems and passives. I need the keys for the dungeon skips as well. You can start monoliths after your specialization, but you'll be level 20ish for level 58 content. So you either twink (not possible on the first character of the season), need to know your build extremely well and still do the campaign rewards after that. In D4, I create my char, jump in the game, do the introductory mission for the season event and play the game as I want. LE game loop, just like PoE and D4, is what keep people coming in, and the LE campaign get in the way of that for a lot of people. I play looters for the loot, as the genre implies, not the milquetoast story that I am forced to play. D4 has got the mechanic right for that and other looters could iterate and benefit from the mechanic.

    Try out cyberpunk, really. It’s imho one of the top 5 RPGs ever made, besides Mass Effect series and a Kingdom Come

    In some parallel universe they are probably announcing Silent Hills 2 after the incredible success of the first one.

    100 % of proceeds are transferred automatically to the Serhiy Prytula Humanitarian Foundation, one of Ukraine’s largest and most trusted NGOs. This is a very reputable charity organisation. Serhiy Prytula is a well known comedian in Ukraine who has been working on charity work since the full scale invasion. If you have more than $8 to spare there is also "Come back alive": https://savelife.in.ua/en/ Thank you!

    Please, please, please don’t be a micro-transaction laden download only title! I loved the PSP versions growing up, and this series holds a special place in my heart. I really hope they do it justice..

    I'm glad Suda51 is still making new IPs, but I'm kinda over his gameplay? It needs to evolve somehow… like, melee here looks a lot like Killer Is Dead, which was serviceable, but not great. Of course, everything else is captivating, as it always is, but I'll need more from the gameplay to get invested in this.

    Crazy that it's been 6 years since the first one. I know they added a bunch of content in later updates but I'm so ready for a new one too.
