    How can ANY game get 0-2 user ratings and also get 8-10 user ratings? Because this has been totally corrupted by user expectations not being met. When I see comments about 0 needed to "balance all the 10's", oh my goodness, this system of user 1-10 ratings has failed, totally.

    I am 67, playing games since from Atari 16 bit cartridge days. I'm hooked. Played all the old hits, including Diablo 1. Diablo IV is a masterpiece in presentation and overall enjoyment. Sure, as an ARPG, some things decided are questionable and the must have on-line with micro-transaction store nonsense gives it a black eye. But it still does not distract from the fact it is worth the money and it is loads of fun.
    Combat system is right on the money, from dodging and sound, skills, etc. Yes, it can be better, and it will be. But review bombing and approving only negative reviews? Oh please, grow up!
    Critique it, help Blizzard make it better. Everything can be improved. But review bombing this game is not fixing anything.

    REVISION: Oh my goodness!!! The Nerf patch before Season 1 and what got served for Season 1, what the heck is wrong with Blizzard? Hey, let us slow things down so maybe they will will buy those ridiculous microtransaction items! Game got a lot worse and Blizzard is failing at "live service game". Campaign is great, good foundation, but corporate greed will bury this game. So successful at launch and they dig a hole for themselves on season one. One shot off screen, my character is more squishy, millisecond telegraph of one hit kills, major resistance bug ignored, QOL updates delayed, yadda, yadda, yadda. I so loved this game, and still do as it was on release. I have to now downgrade my rating. Quality delivered product, but current team and Blizzard corporate, they are going to kill this "live service" online only game. Now I hate that phrase, "live service". Thanks Blizzard. Thank goodness Baldur's Gate 3 released. Shame Blizzard, can't support your business model anymore, it should reside in Hell.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In terms of the amount of pleasure received from the game, it is not worth half of its cost. This is not a new word in the game industry, I did not see any bold decisions, reaching a new level. And this is not exactly what I would like or expect.
    Yes, the graphics are beautiful, music and cinematics are great, the plot is exciting, but it is not enough and everything else is no of interest. The atmosphere of the game is poorly conveyed, it is easily spoiled by the MMO component.
    I liked the references to Meshif and Deckard. But the little evil in the face of Andariel and Duriel was simply flushed down the toilet. It didn't look like a homage.
    Immersion at the beginning of the game was good, but soon I got the impression that I was thrown into a train running at full speed.

    Mix D2R with Knaak's books, ditch the MMO and possibly the isometric view (that would be very bold and could have a great effect), be as sensitive as possible about the atmosphere - you will succeed. But the game looks like a D3 upgrade.

    Videos with people playing D4, which are posted on the official YouTube channel, are very revealing, players show simulated emotions.
    Artificial hype. Boredom.

    I think, the capitalists have replaced creators, they are stifling fantasy, preventing artists from making real art.
    In their opinion, the player should not get much pleasure from the game, entertainment should be very portioned and mixed with a lot of boring content.    … Expand

    The game feels extremely unfinished and just falls completely short of competitors. Critics scores are from paid reviews and clueless people. The game is worse than diablo 3 although it looks nicer occasionally. Pathetic cash grab.

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

    If a car company was selling cars that did not have features form 23 years ago and need 581 fixes and feedback from their customers... 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.

    Microsoft please clean house. And put your paying customers first. Something that has not been done in a long time by this company.

    After leveling each class to 50 and 2 Necromancers to 100 and season to 90. I can say I was used against my will to beta test a clearly unfinished game. 1.1.1 was the last chance they had. Massive game breaking bugs still persist, VRAM issues, wrong tooltips. This is unacceptable. I feel scammed.

    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.
