If this is like other mobile games that do similar things, that really isn't what is happening here. It's unlocking additional purchase options based on progress rather than asking you to pay for your loot from that particular run. And lots of other mobile games do similar things.

Like in Epic 7 they will have triggers where certain packs unlock after reaching certain levels or like if you pull or promote a hero it will offer you the chance to buy materials to immediately make that hero better. Alternatively you can just grind out the materials instead.

It's the usual mobile game stuff, but since the announcement got booed, haven't they been trying to convince fans that it's a real Diablo sequel that happens to be releasing on mobile?

Most people put micro SD cards in their phones, so fitting a 12GB app is easy.

I didn't even know this was still possible? My phone has 256GB storage and has a 512GB option. My previous two phones have had 256GB too and I typically upgrade my phone every 2-3 years. I know I had 256GB as far back as 2017 for sure (Galaxy S8).

I honestly thought like 256 was the standard on new phones for the last few years but maybe I've just been looking at a particular type of phone.

EDIT: Just checked and my phone from 2013 had 64GB and my phone from 2015 had 128GB.

128 is standard for the Galaxy series. Another 128GB of space is a $50 upcharge.

Phones I've had through the years

2021 - OnePlus 9 Pro 256GB
2019 - OnePlus 7 Pro 256GB
2017 - Samsung Galaxy S8 256GB
2015 - Samsung Galaxy S6 128GB
2013 - HTC One M7 64GB

So I guess I must have been getting the non default options for the most part.

I think my point was missed. 12 GB space on a phone with only 16GB total. It's closer to RAM totals than realistic HD totals unless your stuff is very outdated or super super super super super economy level.

Here is some phones though with 16GB

I went off on a bit of a tangent with the RAM thing, yeah. But I don't find it that weird for people to have really outdated phones. Phones can be expensive, and not everyone uses them for things that need a lot of storage.

I feel like 32gb is a more realistic "low storage space" phone benchmark at this point. Though it's not implausible to have less, you can easily get unlocked phones for like $100 that would get you 32gb. Like even budget models from 5+ years ago have 32gb.

I've got bad news for you if you want to play Genshin Impact. And they are severely hurting their PC and console audience by forcing the disk space down.

I mean if their phone only has 16 GB, it's probably too old to even run Genshin Impact in the first place. Hell, it'd probably struggle to run anything that came out in last 4-5 years.

I have "64" gigs but even when I try to clear out as much as possible, I only have like 10 gigs of free space. Like I legitimately can't find what's taking up all the space. I've got a S8 I think?

Pretty sure your phone has a SD slot. Remember your phones come with apps from Samsung which take up space. Some you can delete. Others you cannot. Any pictures or videos or downloads will eat into it more.

this topic somehow inspired me to install the game on PC. it's free, i'm bored, and i'm curious to have my own opinion

tl;dr- diablo immortal is good for a mobile game and mediocre for a pc game. i *personally* hated diablo 3 and think this game is better than that. I suspect hardcore ARPG players will hate it and casual ARPG players will have a good time for the price point. It cleans up some stuff but overall has low highs and high lows.

pros
  • story is clear and well structured
  • rifts are integrated early, rather than saved for post-game
  • levels/dungeons are the correct length (shorter) to be tuned to more entertaining difficulty
  • doesn't try to bog you down in the inventory screen
  • skill management is straightforward and easy to swap
  • multiplayer co-op is smooth
  • once an appearance is unlocked, you can put it on your character whenever


cons
  • cash shop sells power upgrades
  • ran into a bug in combat that wouldn't let me activate any abilities*
  • mouse aiming feels a little less precise and detects enemies in a wider area, like it's designed for fat fingers on a tablet screen
  • UI was clearly designed for mobile/tablet first
  • camera zoom is too close


*could actually just be me being bad somehow. however, i think it has to do with moving my mouse to my second monitor while a channeled ability is running. but who knows

WRT the cash shop, which i assume is what most people are interested in: it tries to hide that it sells power. the power it sells:
  • "crests" (rift runs with more crests = more treasure chests/gear at end)
  • socketable gems
  • item trait reforgers


the season pass also contains:
  • item upgrade materials
  • socketable gems
  • one legendary ring that i don't understand the significance of


i don't know, it just feels like a normal, unremarkable ARPG with minor tweaks. i don't see any indication that either grinding or paying to beat the main story is necessary. the in-game chat says problems don't surface until you're at endgame trying to PvP, which I didn't even know was a thing in diablo games
