    Blizzard killed the best thing about Diablo: the loot!!
    "legendaries" are a poor substitute for uniques. So much of the fun of Diablo used to be building characters that used uniques in, well, unique ways. Hell, just finding one was great.

This game has nothing going for it at end game. I've seen people calling it Vendor Simulator 4 and this makes a lot of sense. You spend more time running between monsters, reviewing your loot and vendoring it than actually fighting monsters.

    The game is also live service and Blizzard recently ignored 142 exploiters who basically cheated the game to get uber uniques. Their response was extremely disappointing. It was along the lines of "we know who cheated and how many, but this time there will be no punishment, perhaps next time we'll do something if it happened again". This allows their streamer partners and whoever else they are protecting to retain godlike items for the remainder of the game. I decided to uninstall at this point because Blizzard lost integrity and didn't keep the playing field fair for the rest of us.    … Expand

Just because they think it's going to shorten the time and effort people might spend on the 1st season, due to their lack of content in the game, instead of keeping what they already had that's not half bad, they decided to turn everything into **** so everyone has to breakup with what they've built-up and that somehow will encourage them to build something completely different ground up? And assuming you're one of the royal guards of Diablo series, decide to follow their path they wanted to follow, going to buildup something different from what you already used or knew, they not only make it harder to leveling up, by making regular dungeon and helltide less appealing, they also water down the number of import affix, added a lot more less important affix in the pool to sabotage your crafting, and the cost is not even lower and the time you have to spend is not lessen. Why would I as someone who has countless game choices out there, will even consider doing something that its meaning of existence is only depended on the mercy of the game developers is willing to spare?

    D4 ist ein absolut oberflächlicher Blender der keine Tiefe besitzt. Path of exile 2 wird mit Diablo den Boden aufwischen. Schon in der Beta merkt man schnell, dass das alles wie ein riesiger Ozean mit ner Wassertiefe von 2 cm ist. Blizzard besitzt absolut keine Magie und Innovation vergangener Tage mehr.

    Played D2 for years. Then was disappointed with what they did with D3. Here I was hoping that D4 would finally bring some good, old memories back. It's none of that.

    The bad: Itemization is garbage and an absolute grindfest. Item affixes are just sad for a modern ARPG, and trying to get that one aspect that you really need is worse than grinding currency in Korean MMOs. Unique items -    Played D2 for years.

    The bad:
    Itemization is garbage and an absolute grindfest. Item affixes are just sad for a modern ARPG, and trying to get that one aspect that you really need is worse than grinding currency in Korean MMOs. Unique items - IN A DIABLO GAME - are non-existent. Your mount will stop moving when you barely touch any corner or move your mouse over the UI. World bosses are a sad excuse for a boss since they die in seconds and provide absolutely no excitement... or loot. Skilltree is a sad excuse for a modern game; it would have been fine in D2, but not in 2023.The trade... what trade? There is no trade. If you thought trade was annoying in PoE, forget about it here. It just does not exist.

    The good:
    Not much. Everyone responsible for everything other than gameplay aspects did their job well. Cutscenes are great, audio is solid, graphics are nothing special but framerates are very stable.

    EDIT: They just announced the next big patch. It just nerfs everything to the ground without addressing any real issues the game has.    … Expand

    Cons: Actually hard to even list it all here
    - Build diversity is a joke
    - Leveling is very dull
    - Gamplay is spam a very (very) uninteresting basic ability 3-7 times, then use spender (core ability usually) for 2 times, become resource starved, repeat. Do that for 60 levels or until you find a fully random aspect drop that allows your build to somewhat function. Didn't drop it? yeah.. too bad bud.
    - Campaign is at best average
    - After going through it you start focusing on dungeons. After doing 5-10 dungeons you realize they are actually worse than the campaign, surprisingly so. Low density, HUGE amounts of back tracking, annoying layouts and designs, very lazy asset reusing all over every single one of them.

    All that is something like 10% of all problems this game has. I think it will take multiple years for this game to be fixed, if it is even possible.

    At level 20+ I saw myself wishing that the next cutscene would just arrive sooner, which is odd since I usually skip them in other games.

    My advice would be to keep your money, watch the cutscenes in youtube. I can promise you'll be doing yourself a favor that way.    … Expand

    Diablo 4 is essentially a mobile game ported to the PC. Combat is super simplistic. Boss battles are just annoying more than challenging. The story is blah.

The game is open world but there really is no need to explore as you will not find anything interesting. most of the time you are just fast traveling between towns.

    I'm going to start with the seasonal content, in case anyone is reading reviews for that purpose.

    The Season of the Malignant is an astoundingly lazy addition to a badly underdeveloped game. The only free cosmetics are the pieces of a generic merchant outfit, the silly novelty of which might be worth the grind, except that the final piece is premium content. Setting aside how    I'm going to start with the seasonal content, in case anyone is reading reviews for that purpose.

    The Season of the Malignant is an astoundingly lazy addition to a badly underdeveloped game. The only free cosmetics are the pieces of a generic merchant outfit, the silly novelty of which might be worth the grind, except that the final piece is premium content. Setting aside how unspeakably greedy that is, the outfit is identical for all classes, so it's not exactly a quality asset, however novel.

    I personally doubt I'll ever give Blizzard another dime of my money after my experience with this game, so that's one bandana I'll never unlock.

    Apart from premium cosmetics, all of the new content expires in October, so it's essentially an opportunity for Blizzard to beta-test experimental new mechanics without ever having to balance them, while tempting players to spend money with four-fifths of a stupid merchant costume.

    The actual gameplay content of the season is dreary and boring. Some of the monsters have a creepy new material effect, and you have to kill them twice, for a chance to unlock ephemeral items that will be deleted in two months. There are also several new holes in the ground for you to jump into, and a half-baked story involving exactly one new boss and one new NPC.

    Even the premium seasonal content essentially amounts to a couple of cosmetic sets and a merchant hat. Blizzard is a triple-A studio, and I am astonished at how little new artwork this season contains.

    Ordinarily, starting a new character after completing the campaign comes with a number of quality-of-life improvements. For a seasonal character, in addition to losing all of your stored equipment and accumulated resources, you lose most of your Renown, and your Codex of Power. Losing access to your gold and items is one thing, but the entire appeal of the Renown and Codex mechanics was that they rewarded the investment of your time by applying their benefits to all future characters.

    As for the game itself, it has some enjoyable moments when it isn't loading or crashing, but it's far from a triumph of game design. A good game will show you how to play, without telling you how to play. This game does neither.

    Grinding from levels 1-70 was a reasonably smooth and enjoyable experience. I chose a combination of abilities that seemed useful, and selected equipment to synergize accordingly. The transition to Tier 3 was compelling, with difficulty scaled roughly in line with the skills I had developed as a player, and rewards befitting that accomplishment.

    The transition to Tier 4 was comparatively juvenile. The game abruptly ceases to reward individuality or creativity, in jarring contrast to the preceding hours of gameplay. A clever build that was effortlessly surfing the Helltide in Tier 3 might cease to function entirely in Tier 4, forcing most players to search online for an overpowered build developed by a professional streamer, and start from scratch.

    Blizzard aggressively balances the game against about a dozen builds that actually function at this difficulty, which only narrows the number of viable builds, since those changes also have an impact on players who don't play the game professionally.

    While the limit of six active skills makes for a superficially simple RPG, the final combination of skills, aspects, and paragon glyphs is fiendishly complicated. There are thousands of options to choose from, only about 10% of which form any part of a viable build, and the game waits until Tier 4 to inform you that 90% of your choices were wrong.

    Most online guides for character creation advise the use of one build from levels 1-70, and a radically different build for level 70+. So far, the only corrective measure Blizzard has announced is the promise to reduce the cost of resetting a character by about 40% in the coming weeks. This will make it easier for players to trade a build that has stopped working, for one that wouldn’t have worked before.

    The time you spend playing a game should gradually equip you with the knowledge and skills required to succeed. Instead, Diablo 4 spends hundreds of hours rewarding bad habits and weak abilities, only to drop the hammer abruptly at level 70, while providing no further instruction.

    Apart from the game design issues, I don’t think I’ve ever played a game with such a clumsy disregard for player experience when it comes to networking problems, which is particularly egregious given the mandatory nature of online play.

    Overall, I can't recommend Diablo 4. A lot of talented artists and programmers worked on this game, but they work for sick and greedy people, who have no respect for your time or your intelligence. Please be kind to yourself, and play a better game instead. Maybe give Deep Rock Galactic a shot, their seasonal content is always pretty fun.    … Expand

    Let's be honest, this is a game from Activision, the most vile and evil company in gaming and in the world. They released this game with pre-reserved content for Seasons and Expansions, despite upcharging the game. That alone says all you need to know. They view the game 100% as a product to reel people in and not as a 'vision' or an experience. If you watched the developer interviewers, it was pretty easy to see that not one of them had any real passion for the game they were developing.

    Now here's the kicker. They released the game with the 'end game' Dungeons proving pretty much no benefit at all, and are quite tedious with many dead ends, walking time, town time, horse time, etc. These are endgame Dungeons that provide the same amount of XP and Items on level 1 as on level 40. Which of course proves they didn't test or play their game at all.

    Instead of proving they care about the game by doing something simple like adding an XP equation to the Dungeons, they 'maximized' on the situation by arrogantly saying 'it's something we will fix when you play our next season'. Literally all they have to do is open a coding document, and apply a simple equation that involves Dungeon levels.

    They have literally only nerfed things since the game started. They don't care about a user feeling powerful, they care about SLOWING everybody down, so everybody has to spend more time in game. They LITERALLY took the servers offline for 1 hour so they could 'ninja patch' every town so the vendors, stashes, and other necessities were much farther apart. All to 'train' their 'clients' to get used to spending 4 hours in the game to get that 20 minute dopamine fix most ARPGs simply hand out.    … Expand

    Diablo IV est beau à regarder pour un Hack & Slash. (Sauf pour les skills, mais on y reviendra brièvement.) On croise pas mal de gens. Et les événements "aléatoires" sont sympas. Mais cela s'arrête là pour les compliments.

    Place aux défauts :

    L'histoire (Avec un petit h) : l'histoire de Diablo IV est banale. Une bande d'écervelés, appâtés, pour la plupart, par la richesse, accomplissent sans le savoir un rituel satanique réveillant la Fille de la Haine.

    Youhou ! Oui, banal comme je vous ai dis.

    Class & builds (& ennuis) : On ne va pas y aller par quatre chemins pour les classes. Du classiques, du vu & revu, bref, rien de nouveau pour cette 4e mouture. Innovation : 0.

    En ce qui concerne le Skills Tree et donc la construction de personnage, alors là, on a du lourd, du très lourd même ! Tellement lourd, que ton gameplay ressemble à une journée passée avec grand mamie Suzette, qui, je le rappelle, est malheureusement atteinte de parkinson et a une capacité de répétition hors-norme de ses aventures chez l'épicier ! (Équipement spécial : déambulateur -4)

    Les skills sont basiques et pas très nombreux, les effets peu variés et franchement pas originaux. Très peu de choix cornéliens dans l'avancement d'un skill donné. Pour la plupart des skills tu as : 5 niveaux linéaires de skill, 1 amélioration majeure, et 2 améliorations mineures au choix.

    Pour imager un peu, comparons un skill à une boule de neige :

    Niveau I : Boule de neige.
    Niveau II : Boule de neige.
    Niveau III : Boule de neige.
    Niveau IV : Boule de neige.
    Niveau V : Boule de neige un poil plus grosse.

    Mais attention, avec les améliorations :

    Amélioration majeure : Boule de neige un poil plus grosse avec un caillou dedans.

    Amélioration mineure au choix : Soit une boule de neige polluée un poil plus grosse avec un caillou dedans, soit une boule de neige un poil plus grosse avec un caillou coupant dedans.

    Ce n'est pas foufou pour une grosse production, héritière d'une licence légendaire et sortie très récemment. Et là, je parle de l'intérêt/l'originalité/l'impression de puissance, mais je pourrais faire la même métaphore pour l'aspect visuel du skill.

    Gameplay : Mou. Cela se résume à ce seul mot. C'est lent, les erreurs de click sont plus ou moins fréquentes et les skills de mouvement ne réhausse pas vraiment le dynamisme.

    Équipements/Craft : Assez classiques et intérêt bien en-dessous de la concurrence. Les préfixes/suffixes auraient gagné à être plus originaux et nombreux. La petite montée d'adrénaline lors d'un drop légendaire/unique s'estompe très vite pour laisser place à une certaine lassitude.

    Verdict : Comparé aux productions actuelles ou au petit frère Path Of Exile, Diablo IV n'a rien à ajouter de plus. C'est même du moins, et à tous les niveaux : Dynamisme à la ramasse, skills peu originaux et sans personnalisation poussée, classes classiques, etc.

    C'est un avis très personnel, mais l'impression que m'ont dégagé mes sessions sur ce jeu, c'est qu'il aurait aussi bien pu être fait pour mobile. (Peut-être une annonce d'ici quelques mois de la part de Blizzard ?)

    Pour le prix demandé, on est clairement pas rassasié. Alors que gratuitement, vous pouvez profitez de Path Of Exile au contenu cent fois plus gargantuesque, ou à moindre frais, des pépites indés comme Grim Dawn ou Hadès.

    Néanmoins, si vous êtes débutant en hack & slash, si vous n'êtes pas trop regardant au niveau du contenu ou si votre temps de jeu est relativement faible/espacé, Diablo IV pourrait vous convenir. (À condition que vous soyez prêt à y mettre ce prix.)    … Expand

PvP is a joke, people running one shot or one button builds doing millions to billions of damage in one hit while a Necro minion build does not even do a fraction of that damage unless you run a brain dead meta build. The seasons in D3 worked, the seasons in D4 will not with this current paragon leveling system.

    The game offers nothing for casual. They say the game is aimed at casual but no, this game is not fun for casual. You have to grind forever to get items and most of them are bad or useless for your build.

    GIMME A TRADE SYSTEM!!!!

    Nothing makes you want to play the game. If you're done with the story might aswell uninstall, unless you want to grind the living hell out of it....which is anti-casual.

    So much time and effort and money, still cannot make a game better than POE, Last Epoch, D2 or EVEN Grim Dawn. I legit had more fun playing Victor Vran than playing D4.

    The facts that Blizzard stumbled and failed at power progression is mind boggling to me. I understand that its because of level scaling.
    So in previous diablo games level of monsters was fixed. So player CHOSE difficulty by going under level. (if player power is lacking) to grind more and catch up, and keep game difficulty enjoyable. or go over level (if player power is above the curve) and raise difficulty to make it enjoyable.
    because monsters just level up with you, and you have NO choice to pick difficulty for yourself... in many case game is boring because its too easy, or its boring because its to hard and grindy. Game does have same time in golden middle, but not much. It is even worse for your alts.
    One of solutions would be : allow player to -X +X monster levels, that this will reduce/increase XP and Magic find but allow players TO PICK GAMEPLAY THEY WANT TO HAVE!
    Itemization is also boring after first 100 hours. You almost never ever see anything new and interesting. You have seen all legendries by then. And diablo 4 drops very few interesting unyque's. fail here too.
    so... its ARPG, looter to create power fantasy for players. And D4 fails at both power fantasy and loot part.

    I would recommend Blizzard to focus on creating quality gameplay, instead of focusing on creating perfect platform to sell battle passes and overpriced cosmetics.

    If you like ARPG - give Diablo 4 a try. I still believe it technical masterpiece worth experiencing. Only don't plan to spend 3000 h on it like you did in Diablo 2...    … Expand

    The loot system is broken in everyway possible, being almost level 100 my drops have item power in the 600's no where near the 820 mark 99.99 percent of the time and when they do drop with a higher item power the stats are substantially worse then when I was in the 70 range of character level which is just mind blowing that the loot system stats for items get worse the higher level you are rather than rolling with better stat RNG.

    the resistances in the game are also broken to the point no one even puts points into them because they do not work at all.

    Nothing about the game is remotely fun after beating the campaign at all there are a few in the minority who find doing the same stupid things over an over again fun but I cannot see people who don't have more than 12hrs a day to play enjoying this or wanting to create a new character just for seasonal battle pass BS only to get past the campaign again and then be stuck doing the same boring things they have been for over a month.

    Classes and skills are broke as well, there is only a few ways to play each build leaving the majority of skills worthless as there is no synergy like in diablo 3 where you could pick just about any skills and have a good build to play the game and the end game content.

    they need to fire whoever was in charge of overall class design because they have no idea what they are doing.

    I don't want to have to go to 3rd party websites to copy someone elses build just so I can partake in the game content and be locked into using a few skills when I'd like to try other skills but again there is no synergy for all skills to work together no matter the build or play style.

    I feel like they want to have Path of exile success here which is why they added the stupid paragon board but they you have to grind stupid nightmare dungeons to upgrade glyphs to upgrade things on your paragon board its all just boring repetitive nonsense.

    all the dungeons are annoying as well with having to either kill all enemies or rescue 7 people r find this an fetch that an put it in a slot, it just gets old fast doing these things. then you always fight the same stupid bosses over an over again.

    then with nightmare dungeons over 40 and up just about every mob can crowd control or stun lock you an every mob can either poison or blow up an one shot you nothing is fun about this when resistances are broken an their is really no way to prevent most of these effects from not happening.

    I enjoyed the game until I finished the campaign and got bored and yes I even made another character and it was the same thing a little enjoyment then the game dies off into the same troupes of boring repetitiveness.

    this game needs to bake for a long time before people buy it an play lesson learn when xbox probably had a hand in its creative design which means its just going to get worse.    … Expand

    This game is terrible.

    While it does have some interesting elements, the music scoring is incredible and the graphics are nothing short of amazing... It has many, many, MANY, downfalls.

    It was fun and exciting for the campaign, but after that, you level for a bit and progress somewhat when you can explore Nightmare Dungeons, or do Hell Tides, or just farm content. However, you quickly hit a wall in which you cannot progress. This was further amplified by the constant nerfs the developers implemented in various parts of the game.

    The game, now, is no longer something you are able to play and enjoy to reach player power increases. It is, unfortunately, made even worse by the considerable stat affixes that are amazing but never roll on your gear. This frustration is compounded by the introduction of the challenge of farming enough gold to, enable what should be a switch in character builds or specializations only limited by the random drops in the game, and not, be for paying for every system required for the switch. Thus, pulling you deeper into a downward spiral of a time sink, severly limiting play and forward momentum. This will only be exacerbated more during the seasons, when you have a time crunch and also a reset factor. Resent nerfs have made it even worse, clearly designed around the, now clearly apparent philosophy of ABK that: "time spent = content."

    I have already wasted my 120 dollars on this piece of garbage software that is now lining my recycle bin on my desktop. This is the first game in the franchise that I have ever uninstalled and stopped playing due to dissatisfaction with, not only the current version of the game, but also the deep flaws that exist in the character designs and key game mechanics/systems.

    Hold on to your precious dollars. There hundreds of better titles out there. Wait for the expansion and re-evaluate, in my opinion.

All the things people complained about in D3 are still there they are just more hidden this time and nothing good from D3 has carried over.

The only good things are the campaign and graphics which are upgrade compare to previous games, but other then that you are paying 70 $ to play a worse game. Either play D3 or D2 or even POE as all of them are cheaper and offer greater arpg experience. At the moment I am treating this game as early access and hope they can fix it soon.

    The game after level 60 is not to be satisfied. Overall the game is played for nothing. Level scaling does not reflect the increase in power. Itemization is very poor. Item to skill balance is lacking. Technically better than D3, but same crap. I prefer D2.

There is no reason whatsoever that a game like this needs to be online only. It was an inexplicably stupid choice for them to make being online a requirement. I paid $70 for this game and I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from wasting my money. This game is terrible and Blizzard should feel bad for ripping people off.… Expand

    At the moment it is probably the worst Diablo in the saga, perhaps Blizzard has managed to do even worse than Diablo 3.

    For starters we have the usual five classes ( which will probably rise to seven subject to paid dlc ), many classes then in my opinion are absolutely unbalanced, at least at the time of writing this review

    The map......, big, very big, evocative, graphically very nice, but it has led to a redesign of the game, having a single map and no longer the acts makes the enemies level with your pg, practically at the beginning of the game a goblin will require five hits to be taken down, at level 50 it will always require five hits, this makes the game tedious in the long run, which is why the horse was introduced, so you can directly skip the very long fights, not to mention then the continuous respawn, and I say continuous, even around you as if the game was a low-level mmo, variety not coming, really, in the old D2 the maps were randomly constructed, here having a single map clearly we should play all classes on the same map, but at least the dungeons? no even those all very very similar to each other

    Chapter "skill tree," that's all? I mean, it's the ones from D3, exactly the ones from D3, put on a kind of simple tree, where you can then by paying trifling amounts of money, change them ( to try them all ) over and over again, it looks like something out of a mobile game.

    Then we always have the usual two socket item with the usual gems and skulls where the return of "runic words" would have been desirable

    No more followers or companions other than the ones the game gives you because of story requirements, so no management, no choice, no nothing, however you can ride a horse, wow

    At the moment the only thing I save about the game is the graphics, always very well done and the story, for the rest I wonder what Blizzard has been doing all these years

    In my humble opinion a simple game aimed at the new generation rather than the old, where moreover they will bet everything on the seasons ( paid )

While the game initially showcases promise, it unfortunately falls short in several key areas, leading to a disappointing overall experience. It is imperative to address the numerous technical issues that have greatly impacted my time with the game. Countless disconnections and server instabilities have forced me to replay missions, resulting in a frustrating waste of valuable hours. Furthermore, the cumbersome queue system required just to access the game often leads to error messages such as "Unable to find valid license for Diablo IV. (Code 315306)," which is unacceptable for a title that I have purchased. The frequency of these problems has pushed me to contemplate initiating a credit card chargeback, a measure I rarely consider.

    One of the most glaring flaws of Diablo IV is its repetitive gameplay. Despite a promising start, the game quickly descends into monotony, with a lack of fresh and engaging mechanics. Additionally, the bosses in the game fail to deliver the thrilling and memorable encounters that fans of the franchise have come to expect. The narrative, unfortunately, follows suit with a subpar storyline that fails to captivate and falls short of the series' established standards.

    The art direction of Diablo IV feels disjointed and lacking a cohesive vision. It seems as if an AI artist collaborated with an inexperienced designer, resulting in an unimpressive visual presentation. This departure from the series' iconic aesthetics is disappointing, as it fails to capture the dark and immersive atmosphere that made the previous entries so memorable.

    While Diablo III had its flaws, Diablo IV manages to surpass it in disappointment, earning the title of the worst game in the franchise and one of the most underwhelming experiences I have encountered this year. Despite the initial promise and potential, the numerous technical issues, repetitive gameplay, lackluster boss encounters, uninspiring narrative, and disjointed art direction culminate in an unsatisfactory release.    … Expand

    Most complaints have already been listed in most comments.

    I could tell from the previews etc. of Diablo 4 that it wasn't going to be that great. Don't believe me? Look at the current stats of Diablo 4. It's terrible. We were promised there was going to be no microtransactions. I don't care if its just cosmetics etc.

    If I wanted to play a much better polished game in every way imaginable I would just play PoE. But I don't want to because I like Diablo. Its what a lot of us grew up on.

    I absolutely hate and despise all of this BS that blizzard tries to feed us and we just accept it cuz what are we gonna do? I got an idea. Just stop playing games in general because everything that comes out these days is not made for adult gamers anymore. We have outgrown video games etc. Lets be honest with ourselves.

    Video games are not done like they use to be. Everything is skinned over etc. Its like I woke up in a fake universe one morning and everything has never felt the same since. So anyways screw this game and screw blizzard. It's been a fun ride, however, I don't want to be a part of this disgusting family anymore.

    Also if my review is removed I will upload a video to youtube proving my review was removed etc. This game SUCKS like most other crap that's released these days.

    Like I said most of my complaints have been listed by most of the comments. I don't really need to explain anything. I'll just list a few things to keep people off my back.

    1. SCALING - WHY BLIZZARD!!! FREAKING WHY!?!?!?

    2. Itemization - I hate the fact that my build is constantly changing or I can't find the legendry's I need to finish my build and on top of that we have the weirdest stats on them.

    3. MOB DENSITY!!! - I don't need to explain anything here.

    4. The game is too easy honestly - I beat Lilith no problem on a whirlwind barbarian on tier 2 on my first playthrough in a just couple minutes with no effort at all. I felt no challenge whatsoever. I was an early access player to and I barely played. I flew through the game in no time at all. It was a joke. I felt no challenge with anything I've done in the game. The only time I was having legitimate fun was when I was fighting Ashava. That was awesome. Other than that I felt nothing.

    5. No GEM bag!!! - Why TF is there no GEM bag!?!?!? They should be picked up automatically like materials etc.

    6. Dungeons/Aspects - I do not like the fact that dungeons only offer the lowest possible rolls for aspects etc. There needs to be ranges per tier for aspects when acquired from dungeons.

    7. Microtransactions - I'd rather pay Microtransactions for PoE. Not because I want to. Just because its IDK... A KAJILLION times better. You promised us we would not have microtransactions with Diablo 4...however, we got them!

    8. Talent trees and builds. - I don't care what anyone says. The talents and skills in this game are GARBAGE and too simple. I play a Whirlwind barb. It's a joke. and too simple to play. I get it that its a WW barb. But why the hell would I want to use 3 shouts and WoTB along with a static Lunging attack with WW to complete the build. And WHY am I stuck to using 6 skills again like in Diablo 3? Dude I want to use skills like in Diablo 1 and 2. I could use sooooo much in Diablo 2. Why am I stuck to 6.

    9. NO RUNES or SET ITEMS!!! - Where are the RUNES and set items!?!?!?

    10. This game feels like another chore - AND I HATE DOING CHORES!!!

    That's about it, everything else is convoluted, boring and half-done.
    Items are stupid, pair of slippers or iron greaves give same amount of armor. Some aspects are borderline broken, while others are completely useless and shouldn't even be in the game. Same with paragon nodes.

    Paragon boards seems an interesting idea, but it's just boring and most people will end up picking up the same nodes. Which would you pick: 20% vuln damage rare or 8% potion healing and +10 HP regen? I mean come on... 10 HP regen is a joke, right?

    Paragon boards do not even offer that much customization simply because how obvious the best choices are.

    Items drop at lvl 100, can only be traded with other lvl 100 characters.. Great, so I can't even give it to my lvl 80+ alt? What is the point in trading? Oh and good luck trading with 15 people on your shard who think every item is overpriced if it's over 1 million gold. Trading on discord is a pain in the a$$, then you have to friend someone to trade with them, and delete them after the trade. What a joke!! :D

    The game is very laggy, constant lag spikes and rubberbanding (especially when moving fast on the horse). My guess is because it's processing new areas to "appear" as it's seamless movement through the open world. What's the point of the mount then? It's so infuriating to use it sometimes. And only horses? So very boring again.

    Item affixes are just pure boring crap. After leveling to 50 you already know what the best stats on the item are and then you just hunt those. There's no item that will change your strategy by a lot. IF you think you will get the best uniques in the game, forget it - they are so rare that only a few have dropped among millions of players. Apparently they only drop for 85+ content, so there should still be tens of thousands of players, yet no drops. Why the hell do they even exist? :D

    Skills customization is so basic, it's like D3, just on a tree, with a few more passive nodes. Seriously, it's boring.

    Dungeons are fun the first dozen times, then you get angry when you have to return 2-3 bloodstones (1 by 1, can't carry more than 1!!!) to the same place. Also, hope you don't die because you spawn at the start of the dungeon sometimes, then have to just walk through empty corridors for a minute.

    Ultimately, there's really no endgame... The game is boring after less than two weeks. This is a prototype game which has a good setting, good platform, but Blizzard already started doing really bad things with it. Items are uninspiring and just simply boring. Nothing stands out. Not many things feel like an achievement. World bosses drop literally trash loot and loot goblins are best left alone unless you can just one shot them because it's not worth killing them.

    I know this game could be good with the right choices, but I have no faith in Blizzard that they will do what is needed in order to make this a great game. After D3, all we get is this? I really feel bad for the people who did an amazing job at the aesthetics of the game, sound and cinematics, because that's the only thing that gets 9+/10.

    Game systems are TRASH. The more I write the more I want to make it even worse score, so I'll stop at 4/10.    … Expand

    - Little to no options in character cosmetics unless you spend real money. Few in-game unlocks are actually different.
    -side quests are not shared, This is a huge problem when playing with a friend & doing multiple side quests. You pop in & out of instances to one another unless you both match each side quest chains progress.

    I played until lvl 100. The next day they released the name of their 1st Season. Malignant. I was triggered, my dad died of lung cancer when I was 21 after his cancer became malignant and I was his 24-7 at home care giver. I saw malignant. I left a comment on their advertisement, "I hope many people are not triggered by the word malignant. *Face Palm* Might as well call it Stage 4 Cancer." I got a communications ban after that from XBOX. Better not have an opinion or any emotions when it comes to Blizzard's paycheck. I'm sure no one else connected the word malignant to common cancer deaths of their friends, family and heroes.

I got bored after several hours you can tell that this game is made out of greed at the end it's only about money and Blizzard does not care because they know fanboys will still buy whatever garbage they throw to them… Expand

    Like the Atmosphere, Music, Art style and the general feel. Character creation and customization is weirdly restricted. (4 Faces? No custom color schemes seriously?)

    Devs are incompetent.
    The best value is to 'selling less complete game'
    Never buy a Blizzard game again.

    This game isn’t even a game but a pony simulator (once you’ve completed the campaign 40+ levels later in an open world lol).

Trust me this game is predatory as is the company, who will ignore refund requests even after reaching out multiple times. Just had to charge back my CC. Don’t try this game unless you want it to be yours forever. As well, they block constructive criticism on Blizzard forums and flood it with blizz shills who are all still in the honeymoon phase. Biggest issue is that they are doing a seasonal reset a month after the games release? When all the hype has died down and people are considering new games, then they release the seasons pass and do a reset. Most companies release a game with a new season and ability to earn battle pass tiers right away. Plus a level reset right after people just did a grind through the slog fest of a campaign and laughable endgame. At points I did enjoy this game but it gets stale really fast with boring skills and auto, auto, auto, core ability gameplay, no impactful boss fights save Lilith and the list would go on. Save your money or buy a game where you can have fun, which is what a game is suppose to be about.… Expand

    Initially it was a very good game, but after spending 100h+ I've realized that there is nothing to do. The famous Diablo end game simply does not exist.

    blizzard is concerned about reducing xp gain, but when it comes to lag or problems with graphics cards, nothing happens. Maybe the game will be like d3, well after 3-4 years.

Have Fun investing time into something that might get trashed the very next Day. This Game is still in an early Beta and they change pretty much everything Server Side without giving any Information to the Playerbase. Blizzard is completely out of touch with reality.

    Como o D3, jogo de qualidade mediana pra um RPG em 2023. Se fosse só isso, valeria uma nota 6,5. O problema são os infinitos congelamentos e as malditas perdas de conexão - pra completar, um Suporte pavoroso e tudo isso..... com o preço escorchante de uma Blizzard ladra. Nunca mais.

    While first act is interesting, the plot of the game is simple, and at times downright stupid (for example Donan's story). Gameplay seems solid at the beginning starting to get boring incredibly fast. There is no endgame, classes are unbalanced. First season seems to be a joke. Stay away from this game at least for 2 years and it might be interesting... question is how it going to be usedWhile first act is interesting, the plot of the game is simple, and at times downright stupid (for example Donan's story).

    I played Diablo 1 when I was younger, and Diablo 2 in college. Probably my favorite game of all time. I played a lot of WoW, and dusted off the battle.net authenticator to hop on D3 a few years back. I was excited for D4, and honestly it sorta did deliver what I expected.

    So. I played HC Barbarian and have stopped at level 87. There's just kinda nothing more to do. I don't think    I played Diablo 1 when I was younger, and Diablo 2 in college. Probably my favorite game of all time. I played a lot of WoW, and dusted off the battle.net authenticator to hop on D3 a few years back. I was excited for D4, and honestly it sorta did deliver what I expected.

    So. I played HC Barbarian and have stopped at level 87. There's just kinda nothing more to do. I don't think I'll ever beat the Final Boss (no spoiler), but everything else is pretty easy. And be easy I mean boring. And by boring I mean repetitive. Basically the only thing to do is run nightmare dungeons over and over, only pick up the ancestrals for the gear slots you need, and then quickly scan to see if you can get 64% vulnerable damage instead of the 62% you're currently rockin. Sell sell sell, back to dungeon. When you enter a dungeon, you will have to do three tasks. You will have to A) Kill all monsters in this area, B) Pick up X things and deliver them to Y, C) Kill Z number of elite monsters, and then finally, D) Kill the mini-boss of the dungeon. The name of the dungeon doesn't matter, because you're going to do some combination of A/B/C/D. Sometimes there's backtracking, sometimes there's not. If there's two winches to hoist, they'll be one to the left and one to the right. If there's three elites to kill, there will be three paths and one at the end of each path. If there's 6 prisoners to free, just know that exactly the same sized little groups of monsters will spawn each time you free one. It is all very controlled and very predictable. You will do a nightmare dungeon at level X-54 and you will finish in 6 or 7 minutes and then you will quickly sell loot and do the next one. Every few hours a unique will drop, and it will be utter trash 9 times out of 10, and not trash but not usable on the 10th time.

    The end game is boring. In the last thirty hours of play, the most fun I had was in a dungeon where i accidently pulled two elite groups and The Butcher made an appearance. It felt like, "Oh damn, this is scary, I gotta focus and manage my cooldowns here!" Otherwise, pull one group, pop CDs, they die. Wait four seconds and pull next group, pop CDs, they die. Repeat repeat repeat. It's really boring.

    I liked the campaign up to level 50, I liked the helltides and progression through nightmare. I liked the altars of lilith. But it just grinds to a ... well... grind. I got to remember a little bit of the D2 magic, and the game is beautifully rendered. But ultimately it is soulless. There's no chaos, there's no power. It's just bite sized bits of monsters in an ultimately pointless grind. All games are pointless I guess, but it's nice when it takes you longer to figure that out.

    I don't regret playing, but I won't play any more. Game lacks a soul. It's utterly predictable. Even the side quests, you just have no choice but to do exactly what they say. Murder 7 people who disagree with the NPC you've been helping? SURE THING! They could have done more with this game. It's fine, but it's not better than D2, and it's 20 years later.

    Oh, I do like the paragon board. It's fun, but it's the only thing that feels like progress from level 73 on.    … Expand

    In three words: boring, unfinished, shallow.
    You can finish it in 2 days, play 1-2 days more, and there's nothing to do.
    Leveling experience is a nightmare because of level scaling - total lack of balance. From the start you're using the same skills and there are no real build diversity.

    Inventory is tiny with ugly little icons, after 2 days of playing resources capped out, you have all the gems in the world...
    Highest tier of items unique are just weak and redundant.
    World bosses are so weak, that people on highest difficulty beats them in seconds (there's only 3 and one of them is reused from campaign).
    Story is dull an unmemorable with terrible bosses that have 3 attacks.
    There's no rng generated maps - static!!! arpg in 2023...
    Heavy multiplayer game without!!! social features...
    About level 70 you have top gear(which you can buy at vendors SIC!), so there's nothing to do.
    Fight would be ok, but there's lots of unavoidable chain cc.
    Endgame Tree of whispers is total disaster and nobody does this, helltides are fun for 3-4 times till you have gg gear, nightmare dungeons are terrible, boring, repetitive, lots of backtracking, with mobs spawning from nowhere.
    Every system is unfinished and most of them seems to be in game just to make it look that game is big.
    Many thing promised by devs is not in game(sets, runes, angelic/demonic affixes etc.) - get money ready for DLC.
    If game wasn't named Diablo after 1-2 weeks 80% of players would left and scores would be terrible.

    Very boring game, hard to meet people to play with.
    I wanted a multiplayer game, I really liked diablo2.
    I'm lvl 52 and I have never meet anyone to do dungeon, quest, xp together... I did everything alone that's so sad.
    There is not even a global channel to find players.
    They said it would be like diablo2; it really feels like a copy of diablo3.

    While the future of the game is anyone’s guess, at present Diablo IV is a solid, but strangely unambitious take that fails to bring much new to the table. By the end of my travels, I was more than willing to put it down and take a break — somewhere amongst all the grinding, Diablo IV had unfortunately ground me down as well.
