    Overhyped yet incomplete game with very little testing by the actual devs. Only after initial release do they "attempt" to fix bugs and glitches. Developers constantly "listen" to the feedback of the players too! Currently, game has been nerfed to the ground because the developers think it's the better course for the game. I don't think they actually played the game though....

    The game was fun, if a bit shallow until the July 18th patch. They pulled the plug on gun everywhere and basically deleted one class that was already seriously suffering. The developer is out of touch with reality.

    blizzard clearly does not listen to what its players want from the game... can't fix server issues? might as well make players quit the game instead to solve the server issue

    The latest patch absolutely killed the game. Why would they do this? The short answer is that the greedy corporate **** sticks want us to play the game more and purchase battle net passes. However, in the process they abruptly destroyed that which was fun about the game. i regret spending money on the box and PC versions. I won't be back unless they fully revert the patch.

    Played the game, liked it. Devs are now forcing you to participate in their seasons mechanic and try to get you to buy a $20 battle pass for a game that already cost you $70 when you just bought it.

    Busted half baked game barely surviving due to the achievements of its predecessor. If it wasn’t called Diablo it would be a $5 game on steam that nobody’s heard of and nobody plays. Stats don’t work like they’re supposed to. Itemization is boring and convoluted. Legendaries are boring and not good. Story is a mess. Endgame is non existent.

    Game was *OK* until latest garbage patch gutted everything, the blatantly clear intent of which is to force people to play longer, make it more difficult to progress, thereby spending more time in game hopefully buying more ugly-ass skins, and paying for the quarterly Season passes to try to regain some of the ability they lost.

Then they "conveniently" decide to host a fireside chat in response to backlash, but only AFTER Season 1 launch so they can see how much they can get away with.

    I get that companies exist to make money... sell the game, great. Sell seasons, fine. But this blatant manipulation to keep players locked in AFTER they have progressed, found gear, and become used to and are enjoying a certain type of play... total garbage from a garbage company. I'm only one person, but clearly one of many. Uninstalled, and they will never get another cent from me.

    The game content is fine before the patch. Honestly, I would give this game a 5 overall, but I also understand why many people are upset with the game recently. Really dislike some people give 10/10 just because they saw others don't like the game. So I am here to do the opposite to balance it.

    The game was fun for a few hours - you know, cool visuals and stuff... Then it revealed itself to be shallow, repetitive and pointless tedium. The introduction of battle pass is insolence beyond belief! Tolerate bad games, and you will get more bad games in the future.

    There are no shortage of games to spend my money and more importantly my time.

    I just hope that fellow gamers rely on the voice of the USERS and not the marketing propaganda machine, as any look at user reviews of this game show overwhelmingly this should be avoided at all costs.

    It’s obvious that love of the craft is totally absent and focus is purely financial, which for a business with a good product is the way of the world but this is simply frustrating and not fun.

    I feel dirty and used for giving you my money, for anyone reading this don’t support this any further if you do then I am sure you can also find a Statue of Liberty for sale

    Diablo 4 has been out for over two months and luck has let me spend a lot of time in Sanctuary. Leveled a druid to 100 in both Eternal and Seasonal realms. It hits a homerun in a few places; the campaign looks and feels great to slice and crush through. Sadly campaign has almost no replay appeal. Thankfully a "skip campaign" option becomes available after your first completion. SinceDiablo 4 has been out for over two months and luck has let me spend a lot of time in Sanctuary. Leveled a druid to 100 in both Eternal and Seasonal realms. It hits a homerun in a few places; the campaign looks and feels great to slice and crush through. Sadly campaign has almost no replay appeal. Thankfully a "skip campaign" option becomes available after your first completion. Since little to no impactful endgame content exists and season one was abysmally thin, the campaign is the only real meat and potatoes Diablo 4 offers. Guess campaign skipping isn't all that great then...

    The real problem with Diablo 4 is the downward trajectory of Blizzard itself. Played every Diablo title since day one and that nostalgia is the only reason I even open Battlenet anymore. The framework or substructure if you will, of how the game is designed and deployed on is both less enjoyable than previous Diablo games and money hungry. Items from the "micro" transaction shop very frequently cost greater than 30% of the base cost of the game. Many say this is the industry standard now. If that is true, why then is Blizzard looking to be faceless among the pack by doing what everyone else does? Long ago, they were known for leading... Without spending a lot of real money after already purchasing Diablo 4, your Nephilim hero will forever be drab and unloved.

    Patches have been released to slow down player progression, really. Experience gained in combat was nerfed because people were finishing the game and turning it off too fast. Another patch lowered overall player damage so much that all classes lost viable builds, some classes became temporarily unable to play at the highest difficulty. While DPS adjustment patches and fixes have become fairly routine in games like this, the way it was done was obviously not for gameplay improvement but to extend the life cycle of a game that almost didn't make it to it's first season.

    A very large amount of Quality of Life mechanics (build switching, quest management, etc) and character customization options from the previous entry were simply taken out of Diablo 4's development. Many speculate that they weren't actually removed but were instead purposely held back and slated to be slow rolled into the game over time to make it seem like developers are coming up with new and great things. Not sure which answer is worse: incompetence and the inability to look at what worked in previous entries to the franchise, or that Blizzard has just become that bad an talentless at making an ARPG. All I know, is they aren't there and game franchises are supposed to improve from title to title. Otherwise, why make a new one at all?

    Blizzard could be developing fixes and improvements for down the road that bring Diablo 4 up to where it's predecessor finished. But from watching the livestreams and posts from Blizzard, I doubt it'll arrive wrapped in anything but an expensive insult to one of the (formerly) greatest game franchises.

They would go out of business...why is it okay for the game industry to do this. Why do our rights not count, because it's digital content? We forgo any and all rights to these sleazy companies?

    They lied when they said the cash shop would not take priority over the game. And they literally blew that in the first 60 seconds of season 1. Cash shop gets 10 new skins (that cost around $25 each) and the battle pass gets 2 skins, and one of them absolutely sucks.

    I could go on. It's heart breaking. I blame Microtransactivision. This sleazy company will monetize any and everything. To quote a famous movie "You will never find a greater hive of scum and villainy" than that of Activision.

    - Endgame feels unrewarding and boring. You dont need to get to max level cause you can find on Tier 4 items with max item power. Your only way to get stronger is with paragon points, but XP on higher levels takes way too long. So you can reach your max item level at lvl 70-80. Then you can look for the perfect item with the perfect rolls. But because there are so many trash stats, i'd prefer looking for a needle in a haystack.

    Smaller problems:
    - running circles in dungeons
    - gold drop
    - stash space
    - Glyph leveling not rewarding and capped
    - Battlepass (666 coins)
    - Season Hearts trash and wasting space

    Good:
    - Graphics
    - Sound
    - Story

    The first 50 levels are quite fun if you play the campaign. If you still want fun playing Diablo, stop after campaign and go back to D2.

    A Disastrous Disappointment: Diablo 4 Fails Gamers on Every Level

    A Disastrous Disappointment: Diablo 4 Fails Gamers on Every Level

    I recently made the grave mistake of shelling out a jaw-dropping $130 for Diablo 4, expecting a gaming experience that would be worth its weight in gold. What I got instead was an absolute disaster that left me questioning the sanity of the developers and the sanity of anyone who actually enjoys this travesty.

    Let's start with the most glaring issue: the lack of WASD support. In an era where gaming has evolved to cater to various player preferences and abilities, Diablo 4 has decided to regress back to the Stone Age. Who on Earth thought that denying players the basic freedom of using WASD controls was a good idea? Apparently, the developers are either blissfully unaware of the gaming landscape or simply sadistic, reveling in the suffering of players with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or any other disability that makes traditional controls difficult.

    But oh, don't worry, because apparently having control options isn't supposed to translate to good gameplay. No, according to the masterminds behind Diablo 4, we're all just supposed to adapt to their archaic control scheme and be grateful for the privilege of enduring their nonsensical design choices. Because who needs player accessibility and comfort when you can frustrate your audience to the point of tears?

    And let's not even get started on the price tag. $130 for a game that's stuck in the past, not even bothering to acknowledge the basic standards of user-friendly controls? It's as if the developers are actively trying to rob players blind while simultaneously flipping them the middle finger. Congratulations, Blizzard, you've managed to outdo yourselves in creating a product that redefines the meaning of buyer's remorse.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 is a catastrophic failure on every conceivable level. Its lack of WASD support is a slap in the face to gamers with disabilities, and the notion that control options are somehow irrelevant to good gameplay is mind-bogglingly absurd. Save your hard-earned money and precious time for a game that actually respects its players and embraces modern gaming conventions. Diablo 4 is a prime example of how not to make a game, and I can only hope that the developers come to their senses before inflicting more misery upon unsuspecting players.

    where the hell is the end game. There is literally no point going past lvl 70. You can get all the endgame (highest itemlevel) gear from this point. So being lvl 100 only makes it harder, because of this scaling. Then cherry on top, why? Why would you want to be level 100. There is no end game content where you can get better loot or do real UBER bosses to get even better gear.

    For the casual player it is worth to buy it. You have a good campaign and good immersion. The problem is that Diablo is THE franchise which in the past sets milestones in the genre. This isnt the fact with diablo 4.

    All mechanics are already known from other games. Nothing innovative here. I had fun playing this game until Level 60-70. But after that it gets boring. The progression system is similar to the Diablo 3 system where you just do Greater Rifts to level up your gems and get paragon points. The game in its actual state does have a lot of potential because of its nice combatsystem and graphics. If blizzard would change the endgamesystem similar to poe and do innovative stuff like last epoch, this game and its community would love it. Also in its actual state there is a lot of air upwards.

    Don't get your hopes up for the campfire talk because they won't be reverting things back to the way they used to be. Instead they will tell you how good the malignant hearts are and why we should look forward to them. These devs never listened to the real concerns their player base had pre patch and they won't be listening to them in the future.

    All I wanted was more mindless, addicting Diablo 3 goodness. I just wanted more Diablo 3 with maybe better graphics. Diablo 3 was fun.

    The game is so dark. Diablo 3 was fun it was filled with humor. I often laughed out loud. My avatar had the best LOL smart assed remarks. This is like if Demon Souls had a baby with Diablo 3. Diablo 3 was tongue in cheek. This game is just grim. That is no fun to me. Granted that could be personal preference.

    The moment I arrived in the first real town, I saw other player avatars everywhere. Sort of a la FFIV. At the moment I tried everything possible to make my game private. I have no desire to see other players in their gear or on their mounts. I want Diablo 3 privacy with no other RL humans around. It was at that point, I decided I dint want to play Diablo 4 any further. And I am really disappointed I had to make that decision. I had very high hopes for Diablo 4. Now crushed. Damn!

    Story was interesting and engaging.
    Cinematics are fantastic.
    Initial start to the game is generally well paced.
    Graphics and animations are polished.
    The “world aesthetics” are pleasing and detailed.

    Unfortunately this is where the good stuff ends. The worst of all, most of these negatives are not immediately obvious until AT LEAST 8h of gameplay. So no chance of getting a refund.

    Most of the things that would make an ARPG a “good” title, are somehow missing or in a bad state. To the point where they’ve actively gone backwards from previous titles, and are missing core features that exist in any other lesser budget ARPG that already exists.

    -Scaling mechanic. Interesting concept, terribly executed.
    -Never feeling truly ‘powerful’.
    -Enemies scaling at a faster rate than you gain power from loot drops.
    -Woeful loot itemisation.
    -Affixes, suffixes and legendary aspects that are so specific in their bonuses or activation criteria, that they introduce a level of complexity and build reliance that provide no true build diversity. This means that 99% of ‘good loot’ that drops, is not suitable for your build.
    -Extremely lackluster skill tree compared to other ARPGs, and even significantly less options than Diablo 3.
    -Paragon board that appears impressive, but in reality is just bland, grindy and uninspired. Providing you the ‘illusion’ of choice.
    -No loot filter! (how is this missing?! seriously!)
    -Extremely grindy
    -Current dev team has made it clear they WANT you to feel ‘weak’.
    -Constant nerfs to anything that may feel ‘enjoyable’.
    -Very specific pre-determined ‘builds’
    -Very little options for any kind of theory crafting or true build diversity.
    -Basic quality of life features missing that should be a standard inclusion.
    -Poorly designed and unengaging end-game loop.

    With the lessons learnt from Diablo 3, and the ability to take inspiration from some of the innovations of Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, Inquisitor: Martyr and Path of Exile (+ others). The current state of Diablo 4 is entirely unacceptable, particularly for a AAA studio like Activision Blizzard.

    This is easily the worst ROI I’ve had on a game in many many years.

    I had high hopes for this game. Now that I've played it a bit, I'm not quite sure what to think of it. My biggest criticism is the progression system. It just doesn't feel good. With every item you find, the enemies get stronger. Stats and stats seem completely meaningless. In Diablo 2 (Resurrected) every stat had a meaning and you felt it immediately.

In Diablo 2 (Resurrected) every stat had a meaning and you felt it immediately. In D4 everything is kind of just random numbers. It just feels wrong.

    The graphics are beautiful. The story is interesting. However, if you want to play the game effectively, you have to skip most parts of the side quests, which are an important part of the world and how it feels. You lose a lot if you want to play the game effectively. If you want to experience the world, you waste a lot without getting anything in return. Trading is nearly disabled, which is a missed potential and at least for me close to be a killer of that game.

    My conclusion: D2R feels worlds better than D4. I leave out the comparison to D3, because I didn't like this game at the time either. I preferred to keep playing D2(R) at that time.

    Finally I would like to mention the shop: luckily it only contains cosmetics, but for the price of a whole game. These prices are completely exorbitant. Skins that can be found in the game are limited. So Blizzard forces you to run around looking like a garbage can. You used to be able to earn something like that in games in the past. That was the point of the games. But today, the point of games seems to be buying stuff for real money rather than progressing it. Where's the fun in that?

    My short summary:
    Graphics: 9/10 - Excellent & Immersive
    Soundtrack: 9/10 - Just lovely as always
    Progression System: 1/10 - Horizontal and not rewarding at all
    Difficulty: 7/10 - Moderate and adjustable. But in some cases just unfair and disappointing.
    Story: 5/10 - Would feel better if the game wouldn't punish you for playing it.
    Multiplayer: 2/10 - Forced, Stealing immersion, and thats it. No meaningful trading. No real reason for it. And if you are playing in a group it is laggy.
    Availability: 1/10 - Always forced to be online. No chance to play in a village. When Services are down, no game play is possible.
    Price-Value ratio: 5/10 - It is a good game, where you can spend some time for one playthrough. But for that it is quite expensive.

    Sum: 4/10

    I don't know what this game is, but it is not a Diablo title in anything other than name. I take that back. I know exactly what it is. A storefront posing as a beloved title.

    Do you enjoy ARPGs with good loot and an exciting, yet challenging gameplay loop? Well keep perusing the store shelves because this isn't it.

    Loot: One word. Abysmal. I can't count how "Big Bads" i've killed during the story and exploring that drop two measly pieces of loot that wouldn't even have been good 10 levels prior. Chest loot is not any better. Treasure Goblins need to be renamed to Trash Goblins. Everything looks the same and is littered with word salad to make you think it's good. But fear not. If you want great looking gear, all you have to do is open that wallet again and head on into the store. That's where the real effort went into gear design.

    Combat: Combat is fun for about the first 20 levels. And then the realization that you will be using the same few skills for 80 more levels comes crashing down on you. Most skills are boring to use and look at. Everything else are passives that add little to no value to your build. Enemies will stun lock you constantly as the only way the game can pose a challenge is to take control away from the player. I remember another game that tried a similar approach. Warhammer Online relied heavily on CC'ing the player. How's that game doing? Oh right, it shut down 2 years after launch. Good model to follow Blizz.

    Also, get used to fighting the exact same enemies over and over again regardless of zone. 20 hours in I was done with combat and just running from quest to quest.

    Dungeons: Remember the feeling of delving deep into a dungeon, each level taking you closer to Hell and giving you the feeling of impending doom? Well forget that and get to finding the two keys that unlock the boss door or untying 5 bodies from stakes. Why? Creative Bankruptcy. Now get to it.

    MMO BS: Collect 5 flowers, fill this flask, go get my dry cleaning. This crap has no place in an ARPG. It is useless filler created by the same creatively bankrupt people mentioned above.

    No new classes: If this isn't proof of the lack of creativity the D4 team possess, then I don't know what is. They couldn't even be bothered to create a new class. They literally ripped the classes from D2, renamed the Assassin and called it a day. I have no clue what they worked on for all these years when all they did was copy Brevik and Co's hard work. Although, I would put every cent to my name on them selling a new class.

    In short, I hate this game. I really, really hate it. It's the kind of game that comes out an makes me question gaming as a hobby all together. This game is a store first and a playable game 126th.

    TLDR: Why are you here if you don't want to read?

Why aspects are not tradeable or saved in the codex for future use? I don't get it. Having super rare unique items where it is more likely to win the lottery than to find one of these is just sad.

    Making us grind renown every season is just bad, stupid and boring. If they need to do that, just switch lvl 5 with lvl 4.

    S1 new mechanic is ok but again at certain point boring.

    If they won't come up with some major and exciting changes for this game then it would have less and less active players. As a 20 year diablo fan it is sad for me to watch this happen.

    Season 1 took the potential and changed the future of the game and made it exponentially worse that diablo 3 is now

    My favorite series on PC has become PayToWin, even as fuil price title.
    After 1000+ hours in Diablo 3, this is one of the saddest things ever.
    The story and graphics are great, but the Seasons ruin it for me. You can cash for Season Pass Levels to increase experience gain and loot. Season 1 came way too fast and leveling takes too long to make it interesting.

    Not the best ARPG, but definitely could ascend to that level within a few seasons. Or not...

    How they gonna nerf 80% of the game for the very first season?

    Zero QOL updates, defense nerfed for what was already a glass cannon, classes doing upwards of 70% less damage, and making leveling much much harder.

    I would like the European Union to introduce the right to a refund for a game with patches that can spoil the game so much that you don't want to play it. Maybe it would force some accountants to hand over the game to the developers, not the shareholders.

    Make Diablo 3 Resurrected
    There's nothing better than the previous D3
    D4 that's only regressive

    Legendary drops are spammed and crap. Rares drope like gold coins and you have to keep checking stats that are usually garbage. Respec and explore new options consume lots of gold and therefore take excessive time to try. Inventory management is garbage. Forget about trying to play more than one class as you're likely never going to reach max level, or even approach decent gear.

    evewrything nerfed, games is slog now, it's not harder, just takes 3x more time to achieve same thing. No qol changes, nothing. Devs are out of touch with playerbase. Play this game in few years, maybe then it will be ok

    It’s almost like Diablo 4 developers are consciously fighting against everything that made classic Diablo fun. [Issue#262, p.80]

    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.

    The best Blizzard launch in a long time and a worthy game to be called Diablo.
