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?
I don’t like it but I put up with it and it doesn’t really bother me all that much. When I had a newborn, I pretty much couldn’t play games for a few weeks or more. After that, I played a lot of pauseable games (KOTOR and Mass Effect specifically come to mind, though it’s been over a decade now so I’m sure I’m forgetting something). As a Souls player, I’m used to not being able to pause in games but I appreciate games like that that at least autosave and let you quit out at any time, the next best thing to pausing.
