    This is just an expensive alpha test, devs don't even what they are doing

    No end game content, very bad itemisation, nightmare dungeons are awfully designed, classes and spells are not fun

    Campaign was fun before the patch. Everything else after finishing the campaign was kinda boring but not too bad...before the patch. Post-patch, everything has turned to **** So sad this game isn't playable anymore. I still enjoyed the pre-patch diablo IV even though it got tedious and boring after the campaign. $70 for 1.5 month of playing. Never again, Blizzard. RIP Diablo.

    In beta i would have given this game 9/10. Buy i forgot, blizzard does not give a **** after they get the money. They basically destroyed the game in one patch. And added nothing the whole community asked for, like search function, inventory and stash space. Instead they artificially wanted to slow progress to zero and nerf everything that was fun to the ground. Seriously so horrible.

    Very boring, repetitive, no dungeon finder, no world chat, no trade, bad design. I feel more alone than in some old offline game!! NO ENDGAME! DI immortal is much more fun.. Graphic average, game is often lagging.. FU Blizzard, you robbed me, this game is not worth so much money!!
    Take baldurs gate 3 as an example, that is a game made with love in every way better than d4 garbage..

    UPDATE: this game terribly lacks content and what they offered now? To get new content you have to create new lame character.. will never do, this is most stupid thing in history of gaming..

    This game is a pile of sheet. I've no regret purchasing this for $99 like most of us said, the campaign is enjoyable, the rest is just lacking and with the most recent patch they basically killed it.

    Blizzard is trying to make and loot based ARPG MMO, without rewarding loot system; the loot is just boring. An ARPG without action; progression is slower than a sloth. A MMO without a social system; does not even have basic groupfinding for ANY of the very little content in the game.

    It tries to be everything, and fails at every turn.

    They adressed some of the issues of the game and nerfed the **** out of it but they forgot to provide actual fixes and alternatives. **** them

    A generic Ubisoft-style open-world game with a subpar story and zero depth in the end game.

    This is by far the worst Diablo ever made. deserves a 0. They need to trash this game and remake it.

    After patch 1.1 Blizzard suck all remaining fun out of the game. We asked for the end game, they decided to end the game. Decimated two classes, no improvements only nerfs.

    terrible patch by out of touch devs right before season 1 ruining the game.

    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.

    Unfinished game, Don't bother buying. As a veteran D3 player and almost every blizzard game, They have gone off the rails, Stay away form this game and possibly from this company.

    If only devs could listen less to the investors and more to the players...

    A game already ruined by bad decisions and lack of fun and content.

    They probably shouldn't have tried taking on this franchise. Just a bad attempt at taking feedback and a premature release. Don't think there was any sense behind releasing the game with this little developed, and even less with the damage control of that mistake.

    Devs are consistently sucking out every satisfying aspect of the game (and there were not many of them, to begin with).

    The devs do not respect your time. They want to actively waste it. The most recent patch removed survivability, made fun specs less fun, and the most ridiculous change that proves they just want to waste your time is the fact that the leave dungeon cast went from 3 seconds to 5. They actually increased it. Why else would you make that change. Unbelievable. I'm so sick of stock drivenThe devs do not respect your time. They want to actively waste it.

    Disrespectful nerfs to so many players who invested so much time into creating their builds. We needed buffs and harder content, not nerfs.

    Blizzard more than ever, refused to listen to players and did the actual opposite of what the community suggested. Those people dont even play their games. Us players, know the tactics of this company but oh god, they killed it this time. This has to be the most awful patch in modern videogame history.
    Shame because the game had potential. Dropping numbers in active players and ratings

    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

    As many others I was extremely excited for 1.1 pre-season patch notes. Now as many others I probably won't touch the game until Blizzard fixes their **** The pre season patch notes were supposed to hype up the first season, not suck the life and all the fun out of it. I'm currently done and over with this company.

    Now everyone say it with me. **** YOU BLIZZARD!

    Activision has turned Blizzard into trash. The game was already bad and they somehow made it worse with the new patch.

    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.
