I had this happen to me recently. Suggested Diablo 4 as a really fun, if a bit mindless grind, action game. People around started parroting outright fabrications about the game. Look it has flaws but shit if you wanna kill packs of demons to a neat story with great cinematics it’s a fun game
Like what?
Pay to win mechanics (not true, predatory cosmetics yeah I’ll give you that), “woke shit” (??? Gruesome murder is woven throughout the story so how is that woke? Oh no there are other skin colors in the game /s) , and a couple of other things I can’t remember.
The game has flaws no doubt. It’s still a solid 8/10, maybe even an 8.5.
I get annoyed at how quickly people parrot the cash shop line without genuine analysis.
Like, yes, Ubisoft games often have a cash shop feature hidden in a menu that I often miss until 40 hours in. It’s usually dumb, and provides nothing of value or interest, the cosmetics not even being interesting.
