    It's aight. You'll get what you know. Not as good as Grim Dawn.

    But seriously there is no need for being a fanboy, nor is it the worst game ever. Obviously review bombing going on here.

    simply not fun with all the changes that were implemented with the latest patch (longer cooldowns, less damage, QoL nerfs). Definitely regret spending $100.

    I've been playing Diablo since D1. It has always been a smash and grab game with high intensity. D4 is none of that. Blizzard has released another barely beta ready product as a cash grab.

D4 is none of that. Blizzard has released another barely beta ready product as a cash grab.

    In the open world you've been given a horse to ride about, but it is so buggy and janky you'd rather walk. The mob count is so sparse and objectives are so spread out that stopping to kill trash packs on the way is such a time sink it seems pointless. Then if you do stop and kill mobs the items and gold dropped are more like clutter than anything. Most of the time I don't bother picking up the items or the gold. Not picking up gold in a video game? That should be enough of a design flaw to get anyone's attention.

    Everything in the game scales with your level. Killing a mob at level 1 feels the same at level 50. You don't feel stronger. The cost of items at the vendor scale too with everything being just out of your price range with the gold in your bags until you have gear that is so much better you would never use the vendor. So, why have one selling me blue items I'll never want?

    The dungeons are empty. You can walk about for literally a minute and not encounter anything. Then when you do find something it's like 6 mobs. Then your resources all drain before you find the next tiny pack.

    The dungeons are also insanely repetitive in both map design and objectives. I just completed 4 of the exact same instance. Same map, same mobs, same objective. Not the same dungeon 4 times but 4 different ones that ended up being exactly the same. The objectives are really frustrating. Normally you're picking up an item or using a lever as far East as possible then the next one is as far West as possible then returning to the middle to a barrier that has dropped. Pray there aren't 3 or more objectives blocking your progress or you will be running in circles backtracking over empty areas that you've previously cleared. Sound fun to run for minutes through an empty dungeon over and over and over? I don't think anyone that makes the game plays the game.

    All the running about just feels pointless. You're looking for demons and can't find them. And when you do, you don't care because they don't drop much of anything. It all feels like the game is set up just to keep you logged in and inflate their engagement metrics.

    They also implemented some hot garbage called renown from World of Warcraft. It is reputation with minor rewards with each zone in the game. Apparently, you need to re-grind it every season. Hard, 100% pass. This alone is why I won't be playing any more. Zero interest in re-doing the same boring content repeatedly. I'm here to save the world and kill demons not re-activate the town portals.

    The last unforgivable transgression is the 'battle pass". I'm a sucker and purchased the pre-sale of the game and forgot it had one month's free battle pass. I was drilling in the menus for season one to see how much it cost and what the rewards would be. The game automatically cashed in my freebie with no confirmation. Thankfully it was free as I would have been furious to purchase an actual battle pass. It comes with nearly nothing. Some crappy "transmogs" and a mount I'll never use. It further insults your intelligence and wallet by giving you some in game currency. Is it platinum? Who cares what it is called as they give you less than the amount to purchase the cheapest item in the in-game store.

    One of Diablo's core tenants has been hardcore. I wouldn't bother much unless you are a true die hard. They seem to be trying to make the game an MMO and the loading between zones will lag out for several seconds just moving about on a solid internet connection. Enough time to get gibbed by some trash for sure. There is no reason hard core players shouldn't be able to play in an offline mode.

    There is no in-game communication to speak of. No global channel. Very hard to find new friends. There is a clunky interact menu to wave at people or inspect their gear. And there is a guild finder, but the few times I checked it there weren't many offerings.

    With all that negativity there are also some great points. The campaign is fantastic with the exception of the minority 'girl power' forced narrative. The art, video and sound work are all outstanding. The cut scenes are great and smashing a mob into 1000 bits feels immersive with deep crushing sounds. The implementation of the Butcher is awesome!

    Unless you just have to play now with your friends, i'd wait and buy it on sale. The campaign is worth the price of a movie ticket, but not $70. Maybe they will fix some of the systems, but i doubt it based on their track record.    … Expand

    What D4 is doing though, is slowing progress on every corner, dungeon variety is bad and on topside you can grind neither level nor gears effectively so what you basically do is you feel slow as a turtle and sort through trash.

    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.    … Expand

Past level 50, the fun kind of stops, the story is a nice experience, but the rest of the game is just very grindy for no real reason. Tbh, I think this is because of the repetitiveness of mechanics and inexistence of a crafting system. You just roll a dice and hope it lands on numbers that are better than what you already have. Because you have no agency on your gear progression, and the mechanics being so repetitive past the story, you just end up grinding mindlessly for your next drop, which is to be honest, is kind of boring.
    And I feel weird for saying that while I have been able to grind 100s of maps on poe each season since years. The main issue for me is that Diablo 4 didn't innovate enough, it often feels like an earlier or worse version of other ARPGS. For example, I had a much better experience with last epoch, which brought many interesting mechanics to the table (damn it, all ARPGS should give us a customizable loot filter). Diablo 4 is too grindy to be casual and too simple to be exciting for a more hardcore community.
    Overall, I liked the story and how simple it is to put a build together. But in an ideal world, I would pay the game between 40 and 50 euros and only play until level 50. So far, the experience after that is not worth it.    … Expand

    Zero game economy. Itemization is too mushy and drops don't feel significant. Might as well be a tooltip reading simulator with how many yellows you have to sift though.

    Game needs some kind of economy and tradable items to make drops feel significant. It needs a loot filter. Items need to be less class dependent to make gearing multiple characters less awful.

    Blizzard is clearly out of touch and not able to deliver a Game well done and polished.
    I played it pretty hardcore since release every Day 8 hours upwards cause i was craving for a worthy Diablo II or III Experience, i got tired of all the Copycats even when i enjoyd most of them like PoE.

    This Game has so many Bugs, some small some big, and with each update that fixes an unbeleavbly ton according to the patchnotes and hotfix notes it adds more new ones and didnt even fix the ones that were fixed according to the patchnotes.

    Rubberbanding of Doom at random times.
    Badly coded like for example our client always reads out all inventory/stash/whatever of any player we encounter while yet theres no benefit for that except the performance issues on client side this creates.
    Mico stutters since Patch 1.1 everywhere at the worst times.
    PAtch 1.1 was a Joke too, and the Emergency Campfire with excuses and promises that this should have come together with the so called "buffs" in three weeks is the Joke of the Century.
    They did not expect that kind of Backlash and had to find an excuse , they never planned to balance it out with buffs and tweaks, they simply wanted to extend playtime and make it more tedious so people will buy pass lvl ups more likely to get the rewards without that hassle.
    Forcing PvP Quests on Players in Seasonjourneys in a Game that is as unbalanced with oneshot mechanics and builds left and right is a bad choice too, one that lead to my unistall of both the Game and Battlenet in total.
    If i want to have PvP i play real PvP games and not a friggin Hack And Slay Looter !
    Yeah yeah go grab a friend and kill him excuses ive heard it all, give me a break with this whiteknighting.
    Where are Sets?
    Oh a hundred people of a few millions got uberuniques? Quick lets nerf that down hard, god forbid people have fun finding an Endgame BiS Item.
    The Whole Idea of grabbing Affixes from one item and put it onto a perfect Yellow Item is so bad and boring.
    Only in the first week i got exited for legendary drops, once i understood all the Mechanics i didnt even bother picking stuff up, hell it even gets send to you box then.
    Wich has way to less space for all the Classes and Builds anyway.
    And thats not even a thing they can fix easily cause now the Devs mentioned that the Box is perma dupe cheking all the Things wich impacts Performance heavily...... is this a Joke? Not for Blizzard in 2023! JEsus Christ.
    The Story itself was pretty mediocre, the Characters where great and had much potential but in the End it felt rushed and to short, and yes i did it all, twice. Then i skipped everything for the other Toons
    Multiple 90-95 Classes.
    No Quest sharing? No group progress for questing together on sidequests and that? I have never ever played a Game Coop that was supposed to be an MMO type of Game that was so poorly designed on its Multiplayer aspects, jesus christ.
    No more Trading at all for Leg or Uniques, not even with your Partymembers.
    What happend to Diablo III´s one hour of Trade possibility with the people you where together after finding it? Nah that could reduce actual playtime if people give away the items they dont need to their partymembers, instead lets just let them hope to find the right thing themselfs.
    No MAtchmaking or anything ingame, Chats Dead, why going a Lost Ark Copycat route of beeing an MMO Diablo when you dont even provide the simple things. there is absolutly no Point in making it the Way it is right now, no Housing No show off to other people cause everyone looks the same anyway, the Costumes are bland as hell.
    #God am i mad, this was the Last Time Blizzard has seen me as a Customer, i did quit after the Blizzcon Disaster with Immortal after owning all their Games and blowing Money at em, only came Back for D4, noticed how much of a S* Show it is and now im gone forever.

    We've ignored MANY issues for a while now and tried to defend this but...

    *The ALREADY extremely slow xp grind
    *The past nerfs in patches that made this a little less fun each time
    *The slow rollout of a gem tab and extra stash etc (the stuff we need NOW)

    We have a lot of tolerance towards repetitive gameplay and grinding and can be fun when done right but now it's got so boring and frustrating we've gave up defending this anymore. You'd have to be crazy to invest any time on seasons at this point unless you're a streamer!

    Second, there just isn't a lot of game here. The pacing is horrible. You will have maxed out your character skills before you are even 50% through the main quest line. You will have gotten pretty optimized loot by the time you hit about level 40, and after that you will game entire evenings without upgrading a gear slot. Instead you will spend tons of time looking at every piece of loot, just to decide it isn’t that good and needs to be sold to the vendors.
    Speaking of vendors – why? I played the entire game without buying a single thing from the vendors, ever. They never offered upgrades! I played the entire game without using a single potion (other than healing potions). Even gems were boring – and I was astonished to see that gems are maxed out by level 30ish. Because your skills are maxed out at level 40, about half of the entire game you press the same skill buttons over and over and over… for every encounter.
    Bottom line, the game was a well-produced, but poorly designed, repetitive slogfest. It provided a couple of weeks of laggy diversion… and I will forget about it within hours of deleting it from my PC. I think it is over-priced for the entertainment value.    … Expand

    It's ok to have less end-content or a smaller season, as the game itself occupied so many ressources, this is fine for pre-season and S1 for me.

    But the biggest mistake is how they handle the renown system and codex of might (Aspects)!
    I am totally sure, that this will be the 1st and also the last time I will re-do this! Never ever again!
    As there are so many skill- and paragon points within the renown system, it is kind of mandatory. Bypassing this "passivly" by running nightmare dungeons doesn't work, as you need these points ASAP. Not all dungeons are nightmare dungeons. And last but not least the affixes might force you to reroll keys.
    At the end of the day this means, you'll rush through ALL dungeons on WT1, running to the end (if it's not a %&/$§* "Kill all mobs" one) hour after hour. Or doing stupid side quests, like: bring this camel back to town...

    Endgame grinding, equip farming - that's Diablo.
    Even a new fraction or another level of reputation for the existing ones - ok.
    but a reset of the entire reputation and all aspects - no chance. Never again. This is my personal red line I do not cross, I will never to this again. If it's not changed - I will quit D4.    … Expand

    microtransactions. Plentyof them. Yes, you read that right, after paying 70$ on a game wich is enormous considering that the full price of a game was often 60$ these few last years. You have to spend minimum 25$ to get ONE skin. This game is more expensive than Fortnite, Halo Infinite or other free to play. It got even worse with the first introduced season pass.... This game demands you to pay 10$ wich is the standard price for a season pass IN A F2P GAME for the premium. If you dont have the premium, you get 27 free tier, wich is roughly the same thing in F2P, but, here's the catch, almost half of these free tiers are "smoldering ashes" wich allow you to buy some small bonuses for the season (1 month) like +5% EXP. But it also not give enough of the premium money to allow you to buy another pass next month, wich is usually done by F2P games, but Diablo 4 wants to milk more money than that apparently.
    So not only does this game have the audacity to nerf every character and the EXP outcome from almost everything, but not only does he allow himself to be 70$ AND be more expensive in it's microtransaction system than a F2P game. I just uninstalled the game after this chain of update.
    and you're probably gonna tell me "but these are just skins, it's fine" no it is not. It's this method of thinking that led us to the catastrophe of Battlefront 2 years ago. Because if you put a paying skin in-game, it haves to be deduced from the game itself. If a free skin is looking more attractive then a paying skin, why buying the skin ? This leads to having all the great looking skins in the shop.
    About the story, many peoples disliked it, I, personnaly enjoyed it, it was really short, but it wouldn't have been good to extend it artificially.

    While the main campaign is decent and midly enganging. Unfortunuately the abismal endgame ruins the experience: the acvtivities are boring and the reward sucks. To cover for this lack of enganging content, just before the start of season 1 Blizzard had the wonderful idea of gutting the damage of all the classes AND nerfing the xp gains to artificially increase playtime.

Seems the devs only job is to make sure players are playing the game they want it to be played at all times. They are forcing longevity with immense boring pointless grinds and holy grail items you will never see instead of letting people make a character fun and then compete against others in leaderboards as the tried and true way. Now it’s just some pointless level 100 that takes 500 hours of nonsensical grinding which they continue to nerf and make more difficult if we find ways to make it enjoyable or easier. Game 10/10

    Diablo 4 Season 1 patch was so bad, the playerbase feedback about what they don't like (Give me back my Vulnerable Damage!) is being construed as "review-bombing" and "petty" by shills and development management. You can plainly see this by observing the Critic Reviews Score vs. The User Reviews Score; People who were paid to write positive reviews did exactly what they were paid to do, while Users who actually will play the game post launch have some obvious problems with the changes made for Season 1 and the base game itself (Example: only four stash tabs, with no increase for season 1).

    Every patch , the developers give more evidence to suggest they are clueless in which direction to go with the game. So they keep trying to go every way. Resulting in a game that has no idea whether its zigging or zagging.

You can be a lvl 49 anything and still get your butt kicked. You should be able to go back to the beginning and kick those demons butt not still get your butt kicked. And every boss is extremely difficult. Every boss can just kill you by looking at you. And you can't really proceed unless you have the perfect gear and you won't get the best gear because of the minimal loot drops. And with every boss fight you have to fight the boss while running around. It's like you're in training for a track team because all you do during a boss fight is run. Sometimes you stop and fire at them from time to time but most of the fight all you do is run around. I'm almost at lvl 50 and I can't kill anything and I'm also not even close to finishing the game. The game doesn't feel fun at all. It feels like a constant grind. The thing with D3 was, at some point you become so strong you can just destroy monsters. And that was fun. While in D4, you're just running from everything hoping to get a lucky hit in. No matter how much I change my skill tree, my Necro can't kill anything unless he runs around like a chicken with his head cut off. Monsters should have a cap. They shouldn't just be able to lvl along with you. It seems like, the lower you are, the better chance you have to kill the monsters and the higher you are, the more difficult it is to kill them.

    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.
