    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Juego con muchísimos problemas de conexión y de jugabilidad, caída continua de fps, lag, desconexiones constantes, poco contenido endgame... Y ahora con el lanzamiento de la primera temporada, han terminado de romper el juego. Cualquier tipo de problema técnico que pueda tener un juego, este lo tiene. Tiempos de espera para entrar de más de media hora, tiempos de pantalla de carga de más de diez minutos, usar los teletransportes equivale a desconectarse del juego, ir a caballo equivale a que se congele la pantalla y mueras o que se desconecte el juego, ir andando implica que te encuentres con muros invisibles que no puedes atravesar en medio de un pueblo desierto porque el juego no ha sido capa, de cargarlo... Luego intentas comunicar los errores a su sistema técnico y no hay forma de hacerlo. Muy descontento con el juego y su servicio técnico, es prácticamente una estafa. Expand

    I never write reviews but for this piece off crap i'm willing to make an account and start giving it the points it deserves.
    Hopefully the colonoscopy results nerfs devs life expectation.

    Diablo 3 is better in every way other than graphics. It's laggy and the dev team seems determined to ruin the game with patches. As soon as you find something fun, they patch it out. Absolute trash.

    If you like repetative seasons and doing low damage and increased cooldown, this is the game for you. But not for me however. 1/10

    Wofür spielt man denn bis tief in die Nacht um das letzte bisschen Item voll auszukratzen um wenigstens etwas auszuteilen nur um dann zu sehen das all die Arbeit mit Füßen getreten wird. Nun macht das Spiel so wie es ist einfach keinen Spaß mehr. 1 Schuss sofort tot! Am liebsten würde ich mich hier ganz anders äußern aber das würde auch nichts ändern.

    After the patch, I tried some nightmare dungeons and found my character was way weaker than before. What is the point of the massive nerfs if most of the content in the game is PVE, especially when the original version contains very difficult content for most players already? I felt frustrated and decided to quit the game.

    Plenty of people said it better than I did, but yea, this game is overpriced garbage. But hey, what else did we expect. It's Blizzard. The only new thing that came out of that pile of dung is that their customer support rejecting your every request is no longer done by underpaid call centres, but instead by bad AI.

    - World Scaling (Leveling up is downright punishing and you don't feel any progress from leveling up or finding items)
    - Itemization (World Tier 3 = Sacred | World Tier 4 = Ancestral
    They are the same items just with bigger % on the affixes - Stupid and unnecessary cluttering affixes in items (After patch 1.10, nothing to write about ... we all know how it looks) This game is a waste

    This game is a waste of time, because in order to feel it in the end game you have to get to lvl 50 painstakingly, and after that you will still have up to lvl 70 because everything is the same for every level you get. Early game is a pain in the ass.

    After playing 10 years of league of legends I've never seen a patch which destroys the overall from the game so much like D4 did with only one patch
    The game overall is finde, I had my fun but I thought patches are for quality of life changes and mostly bug fixes but taking out the fun of every aspect of the game? GG blizzard ...

    Game was fun and then Blizzard decided that was a bad thing and killed it with a single patch.
    I have 0 desire to play the game after this. Many of the changes made don't even make sense.
    Game still has all the same problems it had and all they did was make the leveling experience worse. Will look back into the game in a few season to see if Blizzard decides to provide a fun game again.

    I liked this game...now it is unplayable! I have been playing Diablo since D1 as a casual player. I completed D1, D2, and D3 many times, but wouldn't say I am a hardcore Diablo player. It used to a be a great RPG experience of leveling up, getting better items, and then finding some cool stuff for each class. The story lines were great. Then came D4...

It used to a be a great RPG experience of leveling up, getting better items, and then finding some cool stuff for each class. The story lines were great. Then came D4...

    I used this as a guide for my Ice Sorc. (https://www.thegamer.com/diablo-4-sorcerer-ice-shards-build-guide/)

    Visuals - Stunning! The game looks awesome!

    Sound - The game is missing the iconic Diablo background sound track! I'm surprised they didn't use it anywhere!

    Story - I don't know. That's just it, I can't finish the game!

    Game Play - Since the new patch 1.1, my character (Ice Sorc) can't do anything! I used to be able to handle a crowd of enemies with some ease or even some challenge with elites. Now forget it...I can't even handle 5 low level clans in the open maps and Dungeons, quests, and story line cannot be completed! They NERFd the hell out of me! I'm useless now!

    My ~30 level Sorc would deal about 300 per Ice Shard, so about 1500 per enemy shot. Now I'm down to 250 (1250 Total) and the health for the bad guys went up about 15%. That makes my char 35% weaker! But wait...there is more! Now my cooldown was about 1-2 seconds, now it's 3! So...

    Before Patch
    1500 Damage Per Second
    ~1.5 second cool down
    Normal Enemy Health
    CAN kill single enemies from distance before they get close enough.

    After Patch
    1250 Damage per Second
    ~3 second Cool Down
    Increased enemy health
    CAN'T kill single enemies from distance before they get close enough.

    So i have to run around, jump freeze, run away, all while my cooldowns are ready, then BAM the monsters on top of me again...

    UNPLAYBLE NOW! FIX IT!

    No stash space, terrible character customization, boring endgame, boring loot, boring uniques.
    The season 1 content is literally 1 hour of play time but they added boring grinding in between to make it feel longer. Lilith rule 34 is good tho.

    Let's just say that if they offered refunds after season 1 patch notes they would lose a lot of money. I bought this despite being on the fence to play with my friends but this will be my last blizzard game I ever buy. Blizzard has had a lot of nostalgia good faith but that's be burned away now.

    Blizzard is just ugly & arrogance to disrespect all players times & efforts , they turned down all the ATT & DEF stats & mechanisms , just for holding players back staying in the game much more longer (for their KPI or fashion micro transaction etc.) .
    And , you have NO right to reject since it require login & online to play , even it is a buyout product .

    Too many ridiculous examples you can search from internet , such as helltide chest / class changes / items & stats changes . They even think fixing a NPC Camal's "sound" is more important than the players .
    Their response always excuses to "bugs" , but many know they are testing the baseline of players .

    I played D2 D3 WOW COD , and I think this D4 maybe the last product I bought from this **** company , unless they are giving a sincerely apologizes & admit their brainless decisions all along the DEV. and management .

    TL;DR:
    It's not a diablo game. I mean, there isn't even a diablo in the game!!
    It's an exchangeable generic H&S game that could've been done by any indie studio. ok, gfx and audio are great, but the game itself is a horrible misconception. Worst itemization seen in over 10 years (when D3 came out the did the same mistakes, creating wands with +str and dex... just as an example). ---

    ---

    I played Diablo from the first version back in the 90's. The best Diablo was D2 in patch 1.09d
    When they released 1.10 for D2 it became cruel and hard, but still beatable.
    D3 was a horror trip while the auction house existed and the itemization was so awful (dropping wands with str and dex).
    D3 became better, although it was reduced to grind portals forever, barely ever leaving a town. but that was still better than what they did to the diablo game with Diablo IV.

    First, they REPEATED THE SAME MISTAKES (wands with str+dex) and created an absolutely demotivating itemization. when i return to town after a dungeon i am not eager to find out what cool drops there were, no, i am SCARED to visit the merchant because i now have again to spend 5+ minutes on an inventory full of trash, reading through waaaaay to long tooltips and dozens of different stats and bonusses to find out, whether an item MIGHT oder MIGHT NOT be stronger than what i wear.
    Legendaries are a joke. They are just rares with a random aspect slammed on them.

    uniques are a joke too as we can't even reroll ANYTHING. why did they not make it, that we can try to get a better roll on one single stat? I mean, not CHANGING what stat it is - uniques shall be blueprints, thats ok, but just try to reroll the value of a single stat? there are dropping so few uniques... it's horrible.

    And then... patch 1.1 came just before the season. omg.... my sorceress is dead, unplayable.
    Hell tides make no fun.
    Dungeons are just awkward and lightyears away from being fun.
    Itemization is not even worth the energy, that the white pixels of this text consumes.
    It's a 100% failure. It can clearly be seen, that key players left the company.

    Here's a huge disappointment for me.
    I mean I originally didn't intend to buy the game but I was given the impression that at least the campaign would be worth it... Oh boy do I regret getting it. But first the good :
    - The gameplay has a good base - The very start and end of the campaign are good Now the bad : - The reste of the campaign is a meaningless blob - The game tries
    Here's a huge disappointment for me.

    - The gameplay has a good base
    - The very start and end of the campaign are good

    Now the bad :
    - The reste of the campaign is a meaningless blob
    - The game tries REALLY hard to look complex and deep with weird affixes on items but is actually shallow
    - The open world is just a way to justify chores to impose on the player before they can enjoy "the game"
    - Nothing actually feels really good. That's harsh but here's what I mean :
    With the world and dungeons automatically scaling with your level, reaching a sweet upgrade in your talents makes no difference in the feeling of your fights. The same is true with gear, your get biggers stats but the enemies too. The wolves of the start of the game too, they will always be at your level. What a way to feel your progress !
    Also most of the gear looks ... Too realistic ? There's no fantasy in the gear you find, and they all look like the boring grey boot you found in your first chest.
    The game imposes you a lot of thing you will have to do before accessing the endgame which is SUPPOSED to be the sweet spot. And before you inflict yourself with tense if no hundreds of hours to get there, let me tell you, it's not. It's currently grinding dungeons. Which by the way are bad and boring and make you track back all the time and complete stupid objectives.

    Also there is no actually sweet Legendary equipment. Most new effect is so conditional that they are a best boring and at worst just very bad. Unlike D3 for instance where I was excited to find some uniques because they allowed some sweet unique builds. OH I ALMOST FORGOT. Even if we had sweet unique legendaries, you couldnt do that because after a while the investment in your paragon board is so heavy that it would be easier to build another new character with a new build thant to respect the one you spent hundreds of hours on. I know, that's what we all asked for right ?

    You thought that was bad ? Here's another :
    You thought 70$ for an ... OK-ish game is expensive ? LOL Now you gotta add 10$ for each season if you don't want to be stuck with majorly lackluster rewards on your season. Season which has a very underwhelming new mechanic to boot. That's ... Almost OK in a F2P game but in a 70$ game, WHO ARE THEY KIDDING?!

    Honestly if you want to play a relaxed arpg keep playing Diablo 3, if you like complexity stay on PoE and stop making my mistake and giving a chance to Blizzard, they are the worst.

    The game is incredibile repetitive, boring in the endgame. The skill's cooldown is the worst part of gameplay. Also the crafting system and itemisation are very poor and far away from that a true Diablo game deserve...all of this for a overpriced arpg with no fun in it. Well done

    Hello I'v been playing from the normal release until now.
    Did a level 100 druid and started a new one on the season.
    After around 3 hours its became clear to me that 5-7 new items will not make me waste another month of grinding levels and i ain't gonna do it with 50% nerf to all classes. The amount of "new content" is basically in a mobile game app monthly update amount or less. Game

    Game had great potential. Stupid developers killed it and wasted millions of people time.

    Game is also half backed with no working resistance systems. That fact did not stop the developers adding those stats to items and skills but its text only because the game don't have it in the system..

    Extremely limited loots for a looting game is just sad. You farm levels not gear.

    Limited inventory space and storage just to troll the players.

    No loot filter. No item filter.

    From a good(not great) early/mid-game + campaign and big marketing campaign that probably made them 1-2 billion in revenue in the first few weeks - while making people literally pay $70-100 to be beta testers especially for the end game - to making people quit the game with season 1 to cut cost.

    I mean kudos to Blizzard - that was a genius move.

    EDIT: my rating was revised down due to the poor ongoing design decisions from the developers. While most looters respect player's time, D4 does not. Inflated XP curves to mitigate a lack of content, high respec costs for a game

    At times, Diablo 4 feels like a masterpiece. The cinematics are gorgeous. The gameplay is fun. The story is captivating. I like the key passives as they pretty clearly can define builds.

    Other times, Diablo 4 feels like a mess. Here is my laundry list of complaints... Paid early access is not something I want to support. $70 price tag is too high for a digital game. $70 games should not have in-game shops, microtransactions or a battle pass. Always online functionally feels really bad when there are frequent server issues. Level scaling makes the game feel like I'm always at the exact same power level. Tying world tier 3 to finishing the campaign means that doing anything except the main storyline means you're playing the game wrong. The game never feels hard. I'm playing with friends but it feels like I'm not incentivized to actually play with them. The paragon system feels way too confusing to try to optimize. It almost always feels like I'm guessing when trying to decide if a piece of gear is an upgrade. Changing specs feels like a chore. Ultimate abilities often feel too weak for their long cooldowns timers. It feels wrong that you can poison rocks or cause skeletons to bleed. Gems take up too much bag space.

    I'm currently level 57. Maybe I'll get to level 100, or more likely I'll lose interest over the next week or two and stop.

    Update: I got to level 81. Patch 1.1 feels like a slap in the face. No QOL improvements. Massive nerfs to dps, survivability, xp gain, self healing, cdr, gear affixes, helltides, and more. I uninstalled and gave up my season 1 plans because I can’t support a game or company that thinks this is okay. Changing my previous rating of 5/10 to 2/10.

    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.
