Time to see the real Blizzard now that they can't hide behind Bobby anymore.
On the ending of the video: why do all the druids insist their class is the worst? Have they not seen the fastest aoz25 clear on maxroll leaderboards is druid with under 5 minute clear?
Necromancer is by far the worst, check the leaderboards. Druid single target damage maybe low but is not near as bad as necro. Necro has to get a lucky hit in order to make a corpse, to make a DoT to do any damage. Bloodseekers normally have teleport and instantly move out of the dot making them have to start that same loop over again. Druids at least can choose when and what to hit, not some waterfall of conditionals.
The current state of doing necro dps is like having a conditional that you have to force a magnet's N and S poles to stay together to succeed.
i got fallout 76 at launch and dropped off after a whie but came back a couple years ago when they brought NPCs into the game along with seasonal content. the game turned into a daily play for me because i wanted to complete daily challenges to earn the seasonal rewards. only recently have i been trying to ween myself off the game so i have more time for starfield, diablo, and BG3, but i still keep coming back. its still a fallout game with an emphasis on survival crafting and less on the RPG elements, but i guess it has leaned more and more into the looter/shooter genre these last couple years. i'd say get some friends together and give it a try if you're curious. the community is pretty friendly and there's a lot to do
Anyone thinking anything will change at Blizzard is painfully mistaken.
I played on ps fallout76. Its fun. Didnt play when it come out. As for bobby well i'm having so much fun when i hear ypu and other just pulling on him bucketa of crap that it really feels good 😂😂😂
Kotic is getting too much credit here, It would be more fair to say he will be missed like a cured STD.
Hey Andy, we all already knew ALL of that
Yeah, all the smart people, that don't shill for Blizzard, quit playing Diablo IV
Cowards all of them
They let people like Bobby to ruin "our" company, not theirs, cause they come and go, we are their player, people following them since the lost vikings or Warcraft orcs and humans, and than when the Bubby of the ocasion leave, they all find the bravery to shout against him. They should have taken action much before. Decades ago….now it's too late.
In Italy.we use to.wish this kind of people to spend all teir money in medicines (drugs)/heath care….instead i wish him to spend all his fortune on charity. And after that, i wish him and all the souless people like him, to meet the Lord and Saviour of us all, in this live if the Lord Jesus Christ wish, or in the other….
“You will be missed. In the way that you miss a villain. That you miss having that easy target to hate.” He will not be missed that way at all. Because a villain in a show isn’t real, they don’t affect real people with their actions. Bobby’s decision affected real people, his choices and decisions had real consequences. I will NOT miss Bobby in any way shape or form. I hope that pathetic, embarrassing sack of shit never rears his putrid face in public for the rest of his days.
I've been playing Fallout 76 non-stop since 2022, it's a big fun experience and much different from its release, and now it's super friendly to beginners!
brutal legend was a bad ass game we need a hd remake
you said china and ethical in the same sentence. oh man you gotta do your research on china budy.
I'm still in awe of how the shareholders still supported Bobby, he was a freagging cancer in the industry, not just for Blizzard.
Right, these lazy, unaccountable workers have nothing to do with the decline. It was Kotick alone that destroyed these franchises /s
As far as the sorc popularity I think a bunch of people just wanted to play ball lightning
As bad as Bobby was for Blizzard, I dont see all that much improving with his absence. Unless Microsoft goes in a cleans our all the sycophants, marketing types, and games as a service people we wont be seeing better games.
I'd also argue, that many of the developers are creatively bankrupt or too focused on 'the message' to put out a good game. Also the one good thing Bobby did was sour the relationship between Blizzard and the Chinese gaming market. I dont think anyone who has been paying attention for the last ten years can say China and its gaming audience has been anything but horrendous for western gaming.
Why does it say I watched this video when I didn't watch this video?
Probably time to unsubscribe then
The fact hackers went after Sony instead of Kotick baffles me.
12:00 Hit the nail on the head, everyone that I know that bought D4 stopped playing before or during S1 and has not been back. I prefer casters, my main was necro, second was Sorc.
Here's the thing… Bobby Kotick doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks of him. He's made his money and can now sit on his yacht. If he had an ounce of decency, he'd have acted on it years ago.
