    What are you playing, and what should I download??? What device(s), what title(s)?

    I am one of those people who consider mobile devices work tools only. If you use them for entertainment they suck your time up without providing much in return.

    I like having one or two arcadey games in my mobiles in order to get extremely short burts. Say you are in a waiting room with absolutely nothing to do... a game of Vector Pinball to kill 10 minutes is quite effective at saving you from boredoom without making you a slave of your smartphone.

    Understood - with Diablo, I'm trying to play through... but they try to 'gameify' it so much that its not like the Diablo's we remember.

    Its good - but I'm still trying to just play the content and not the mobile gamification stuffs.

    Fun, but work figuring out whats the GAME and whats the SELL.

    Put a few dozen hours into Diablo 4 and really liked it but eventually got bored as it was just too easy so might pick up Eternal and see how it is. How do you like it compared to Diablo 4? How does those free 2 play monetization aspects change it from the stand alone Pay to Play PC game?

    So I'm NOT a gamer and haven't played anything since the first 2 Diablo's, so I can't give a direct comparison - but it feels ALMOST console quality. There are different game 'parts', like you can download a new section of the game and continue new missions/quests and whatnot - it feels pretty vast.

    My biggest gripe is that it does feel a little 'pay to play' like other mobile games - I don't do that, but I know if I paid $20 I would advance a lot quicker.... stupid.

    Its pretty awesome - albeit still a mobile game... we're ALMOST there IMO.
