I don't need to buy Diablo 4 to know the game sucks. Ive seen enough videos, and what not, to know it sucks.
It's not for me, either. Then again, it'll never occur to me to head over to the Diablo 4ums to tell people that. Let those that love it, love it.
And that's even ignoring that most of people who are buying the game on the trail of its hype-train do not even know enough about the game to have any settled opinion on its mechanics or balance.
You're acting as if they should. Or even could. You do realize that you're commenting on a game you have also never played, right?
I absolutely DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about the little footnote on the official books saying "it's just a guideline"
It's actually not a footnote. It's in the introduction, where they explain how the book should be used.
Now, what if one of those poor unwitting souls buys the game, thinks to himself; 'Hmm, Beastmaster sounds fun' and it turns out it couldn't deviate from the holy book?
