Don't forget, Bobby Kotick's been the CEO of Activision for ages and kind of just murdered Guitar Hero and the Tony Hawk franchise despite them being hugely successful early on by running them into the ground

I don't know how more Blizzard fans weren't shittin' their britches when Activision and Blizzard merged

Like no joke, Tony Hawk 2 was one of the best games ever made and received universal acclaim, as well as being the best sports game overall by a wide margin: https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation/tony-hawks-pro-skater-2

Fifteen years later and this is was the dying breath of the franchise: https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/tony-hawks-pro-skater-5

Idk, I thought Diablo 3 turned out alright in the end.
HS is a great and generous f2p ccg
starcraft 2 was good
overwatch was successful

They seem alright to me

Diablo 3 is fucking great.

It was enjoyable too late. The launch was a disaster, the lore was awful, the characters were awful, the game had no freeplay until too late.

Everything the game needed took a year+ after the game launched. By then the damage had been done, especially with Path of Exile kicking its ass.

Skate 3 way better than any thps game. Personally I'd say the same about the best fight nights too.

Overwatch is a massive success

D3 had a horrid launch, which they owned up to and fixed the game

Legion was pretty great, BfA had tremendous zones, art, and cinematics but is admittedly a huge mess mechanically

They arent Prime Blizz perhaps but they still have more great than bad

I didn't say Overwatch was a failure, I said the game is stale.

They fixed it far too late. Nobody is streaming or playing D3 anymore other than casuals and paragon monsters, while Path of Exile is still wildly popular.

Legion wasn't really fun until the first major patch. AP sucked, AP being spec specific sucked, getting legionaries sucked and determined whether or not your spec got to raid, EN was probably the most laughable raid they have ever released. Once 8.1 dropped they fixed some of the problems, sure, but many of the launch issues were terrible. I don't think the xpac really hit its stride until 8.2.

BFA is pretty much terrible all around outside of the art. The story is nonsense, class design is the worst it has ever been, Azerite is somehow a worse system than Netherlight Crucible, lore is being made up as they go, the GCD change is not fun at all, RNG gear is the worst feeling ever (granted this has been a problem prior to BFA), mythic+ is a mess with overtuned affixes and the huge amount of bugs present, class balance is wildly out of whack (spriest, shaman, feral druid, guardian druid, prot war, fire mage, MM hunter, demo+destro lock, and a few other specs are basically unplayable outside of LFR and lower mythic+), and so many more problems.

I work in a game store, and I mention Path of Exile to people constantly who have no idea what that is as they buy Diablo 3.

I don't think you have a fucking clue about what is "wildly popular". Diablo 3 has sold a combined 30+ million copies.

I'm talking about wildly popular in active player counts. D3 is dead in the water. PoE isn't. Durr.

You have access to active player count for people not streaming either game?

If you're going buy what is popular on Twitch or something, Mario 3 is not popular at all. Nobody is streaming it.

Hey whats up!

I'm surprised you remember me! Yeah I quit posting here in 2003, but now I'm back since I got fed up with social media and just wanna talk games. CE seems to have gotten a lot better than it was way back when, I guess ol' Sailor Bacon's doing a much better job than CJayC.

Congrats on becoming a mod, dude!

Imagine seeing a game sell 30 million copies and being like, "Durrr, it's not popular. They fucked it up so bad!"

Even if a couple fuck-heads on CE don't like it, millions upon millions of people liked it.

Diablo 3 is meh nowadays. I went back for Season 15 and I finished the 'Season Journey' in less than two days. How the hell is an APRG finished after two days?

There's literally no fucking way you did all that shit in 2 days. Even if you botted for 48 straight hours on hardcore there's no fucking way you cleared the whole journey.

You can do Chapter 1-Guardian in one day easily.

Now if we're adding in Conquests to the season journey, then yeah, 2 days won't happen due to set dungeons. But everything minus set dungeon mastery can easily be done in 2 days

Chapter 1 is one fucking 5th of the season journey and you only need to do two conquests for all 5 parts. Everything else after that is just bragging rights.

The only WTF factor is them patching Starcraft so it only runs on 64-bit systems. The one universally played game that could be ran on virtually every computer in existence should not be restricted in that way.

Hearthstone was fantastic a few years ago but it's rapidly declining in quality. They simply don't know how to properly balance the game (or they refuse to) which could be easily done if they listened to the community. Shudderwock is still broken despite the 'nerf'. Ultimate Infestation is still insanely good. Druid is OP at the moment yet they only nerfed one Druid card. That said I do enjoy playing the game only for gimmick decks and arena. Competitive ladder has been pretty ridiculous for almost a year now.

Hearthstone is a cash cow. Overwatch is a cash cow.

Fucking WoW is the biggest cash cow in video game history.

There's no way in hell Blizzard is getting shut down in anything resembling the near future.
