I’m currently playing Diablo IV (and having a blast with it) but finding one small gripe which I only think is going to get worse and probably stop me playing it completely in the long run.
My girlfriend is currently pregnant. This means in 6 months time we’ll have a newborn. With this in mind I’m expecting to only be able to grab a few minutes at a time to game and even when I think I’ll have longer I may end up jumping off at short notice. This means I’ll almost certainly come to rely on games which I can pause. Unfortunately this isn’t possible with Diablo IV since it requires an always online connection even though I’m essentially playing it as a single player game.
What are other people’s thoughts?
Such a bad idea.
Internet goes? Can’t play
Power goes? Can’t play
Travelling? Can’t play
Servers go down? Can’t play
Servers are shutdown? Can’t play
Not being able to pause a single player games is so silly, its such a good feature especially for situations like yours.
I pirate any single player games that require always online and its just a better experience, the game doesn’t pause when the internet goes and I don’t have to worry about servers being shutdown
I’m sure Blizzard and EA are looking at the way Netflix is forcing its users to only watch content in their own household and dying to implement that into their games too
