Wrong. It's not built from the ground up. Its a reskin.

The game is a reskin.

But I'm sure Actiblizzard will go to great lengths to throw all their resources at making sure the monetization system is as good as possible

They probably looked at the money mobile games made, and figured that's what people wanted. The problem is A. The people at the conference was not a core mobile demographic, and B. Most "hardcore" gamers who even play mobile games play them casually and don't take them seriously.

Idk, I refuse to believe that blizzard is so out of touch with its fanbase that it believes the DIABLO audience, of all groups, would be on board with a f2p, micro transaction laden mobile cash in.

This is the same group that absolutely eviscerated them over the Auction house. And that shit's tame compared to what mobile games pull

And please dont be asses about it, I'm trying to be genuine here.

But... he's literally a character whose only ever been in a single game (barring VERY small cameos). A game where hes not even the main character. A game only a fraction of a fraction of the fanbase has been able to play, due to how stingy rereleases have been.

Literally every single other character on the roster dances circles around him in terms of recognizability. Tell anyone who hasnt played the game (which is a stupidly high percentage of players) you want him, and they'll ask "who?"

Dont get me wrong, its be cool, but it just strikes me as so weird that GENO would be the hill so many choose to die on.

That was also my first big hint that they never really gave a shit about the Final Fantasy aspect either. 'Oh boy! They finally added a FF6 character!' Too bad 'Setzer' was such a letdown. I put the name in quotes because the guy's clearly named Setzer, he kinda somewhat dresses like Setzer, he spins one of Setzer's lines into a catchphrase...but that's where the similarities come to a halt. Still not as bad as turning YRP into pixies for reasons, I guess.

It exemplifies the power of choice and his depth, which negates the dumbass casual complaint of "he's boring and vanilla".

I mean... not really. The issue is theres a distinct lack of temptation and conflict in that choice. The only times hes ever really lost it is in elseworld continuities (and even then only under stupidly crazy extremes), and when hes under mind control (which doesnt count since it's not his choice).

The "choice to do the right thing" loses a lot of punch when it's the ONLY choice ever made. And no. The right choice isnt always the lawful one, as I'm aware supes has worked against the government before. The issue is, whatever choice he makes, it's written as the "right" one. Nobody calls him on his bullshit, and when they do, THEYRE the ones who are wrong. And again, the only instances where this isnt true are the ones where supes has completely lost his mind.

I dont care that he "chooses not to kill everyone." I want his choices to have actual meaning by being actually difficult and, dare I say, morally ambiguous. If hes gonna be human, has has to risk being fucking wrong

MoS spoilers:
Ffs, him killing Zod at the end was an excellent step in that direction, by being exactly that sort of impossible scenario his character needs. But superman fans fucking revolted over that scene because he didnt find some stupid op way to have his cake and eat it too.

There's a reason why there are many arcs about how to beat Superman if he ever snaps or goes crazy, or arcs where he has gone crazy. Superman, with his all of his powers, chooses to do the right thing is very deep and powerful.

You guys choose not to read or even understand this post.

I mean, all that post shows is that he's more interesting as a potential villain than as a hero.

Which is NOT the angle Superman fans (RIP) take when defending him.
