    The game is absolute garbage. From start of pre season to this very moment it has been nothing but disconnections. Lag spikes that last 30 or more seconds.

Nerf is the word of the day. Almost done with legion event oops disconnect you dont get anything out of it. Magic find on sigils for nightmare dungeons one day randomly vanished even the ones I was stocking in my chest. we buffed whispering chests same loot drops 2 blues and a goat. Loot drops have been basically cut in half. Everything can one shot you off screen so in hell tides your cinders get cut in half and can't open anything. Everything in this game is built to make you hate even playing it. Maybe if the developers can take 3 seconds of verbally and emotionally abusing women maybe the game would be partly enjoyable.… Expand

    Game wasn't much anymore.. came a patch and he finished the rest..
    bad communication between players.. repetitive... slow to lvl up, bad balance between classes, the price is too high for what it offers, the end of the game few things to do.
    boring and repetitive. weak game play... big price.. Score 0 is good to him.

    Do not waste your money on this terrible MMORPG. It should be the game to provide the fun to player who bought this game, but this game is keeping treating player by nerf. It is unfriendly game and it will jeopardize your health (especially your brain).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was an incredibly exquisite event that managed to deceive the media into giving the game high scores.
    The execution, however, was extremely rough and much worse compared to previous competitions. It seemed as though they threw away everything they learned from "Diablo 3" and decided to repeat the same mistakes.
    They adopted the disliked RNG (Random Number Generator) type from D3 and amplified it tenfold.
    The endgame design was extremely foolish. Imagine having only daily and world quests in "World of Warcraft," but your equipment self-destructs, and you have to replace it every week for no apparent reason.    … Expand

My experience with this game since launch was one of constant massive frame rate drops due to a game breaking VRAM issue where the textures from zones would not clear as I entered new zones (I was running a GTX 3070). Blizzard refused to admit to the issue until very recently, making me and other players question if our system specs were to blame, but finally admitted to the problem and said they were going to fix it with the new patch. Unfortunately, the new patch basically broke the rest of the game. Sure, now I can play without all the frame rate drops, but now they want us to pay for the battle pass in a play to win scheme. If you want to have a viable character you are more or less required to buy the battle pass. I would have hoped they would have learned a lesson about this behavior from the Diablo 3 release, but alas, is seems they are doomed to repeat their mistakes. Even with the frame rate drops I would have been willing to continue playing the game and even buy the battle pass just for the aesthetic bonuses, but now given the blatant greed on display I will be moving on. I understand the need to fix game breaking builds like the druids ability to do a billion point hit, but the nerfs they introduced have broken legitimate builds that were fun to play. Hopefully they will roll back this nonsense in the upcoming patch, but until then I will be gaming elsewhere.… Expand

    This game is an insult to human intelligence.
    What is the Diablo IV killer?
    Path of Exile? NO.
    Baldurs Gate III? NO.
    Blizzard Entertainment? Absolutely yes. The game is dead now with the new season 1 patch. I cannot dedicate another set of hundreds of hours to grind from level 1 to 100, with the bloody nerfed characters. Go screw yourself Blizzard.

    DON'T BUY THIS SH*T

    The concept is just more item levels (rare, magic, legendary, ancestral, ancient, blah blah blah...) and bosses that are way too hard. The progression of the player is unbalanced compared to his advancement, we are just forced to die & retry. There are thousands of types of objects to know, evil, flawed, I don't know what, immortal, blah blah too many bulls*it,    DON'T BUY THIS SH*T

    Blizzard is awful. They hate their players and see them as no more than bags of money from which to exploit. Our time isn't valuable to them. Well it's valuable to me, and i'm going to treat it so by not playing another second of this terrible game.

    when player meets player
    Both parties will load all the items in each other's warehouse
    So arbitrarily expanding the warehouse will cause the game to have too much memory and the game will crash

    so....
    Is this year 2003?

    Even games from 20 years ago wouldn't write like this
    Our genius designer actually wrote this kind of code

    Diablo 4 is all about money money money. Balancing issues in gameplay, character classes and equipment. Insufficient or repetitive content, players get bored or feel like they've exhausted the game's possibilities too quickly. Lack of compelling end-game content. Poor communication from the developers and inadequate community management.

    As an avid fan of the Diablo franchise, I had eagerly awaited the release of Diablo 4, expecting an epic and captivating addition to the legendary series. However, after investing hours into the game, I can't help but feel profoundly let down by what should have been a remarkable gaming experience.

    First and foremost, the graphics and visuals in Diablo 4 are incredibly underwhelming.    As an avid fan of the Diablo franchise, I had eagerly awaited the release of Diablo 4, expecting an epic and captivating addition to the legendary series. However, after investing hours into the game, I can't help but feel profoundly let down by what should have been a remarkable gaming experience.

    First and foremost, the graphics and visuals in Diablo 4 are incredibly underwhelming. With technology advancing rapidly, I expected the developers to deliver stunning graphics that would immerse players in a dark and foreboding world. Instead, what we got were textures and character models that felt outdated and uninspired. The environments lack the polish and attention to detail that should be expected from a major AAA title in this day and age.

    Furthermore, the storyline in Diablo 4 falls flat, failing to capture the essence of what made the previous installments so captivating. The narrative is predictable and cliché, lacking the depth and complexity that fans have come to love. The quests and side missions feel repetitive and uninspired, giving players little incentive to explore the vast world that was once so full of mystery and intrigue.

    The character development and class system are another significant disappointment. In an attempt to streamline gameplay, the classes have been oversimplified, and the unique abilities and playstyles that made each character special in previous games have been watered down. The skill tree feels lackluster and unfulfilling, leaving players with a sense of detachment from their characters.

    Perhaps the most significant letdown is the lack of innovation in gameplay mechanics. Diablo 4 feels like a mere rehash of its predecessors, offering little in terms of innovation or fresh ideas. The combat system remains virtually unchanged, leaving players with a sense of déjà vu as they click mindlessly through hordes of enemies.

    Additionally, the implementation of microtransactions is nothing short of disheartening. It feels like the developers prioritized monetization over delivering a complete and satisfying gaming experience. This decision has tainted the game, making it feel more like a cash grab than a labor of love for the Diablo universe.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 fails to live up to the legacy of its predecessors and falls short in almost every aspect. From lackluster graphics to a subpar storyline and unimpressive gameplay mechanics, it struggles to deliver the compelling and immersive experience that fans have been eagerly awaiting. If you're a die-hard fan of the franchise, it's difficult not to feel disappointed by this lackluster entry. Save your money and stick to the previous titles, as they offer a much more satisfying and memorable journey through the world of Diablo.    … Expand

    Diablo 4에 대한 솔직한 리뷰를 해보자면 게임 초반에는 괜찮아 보이지만 점차 지루해집니다. 디아블로2의 경우에는 레벨링과 파밍 즉 성장해가며 템맞추고 타직업 템도 나와서 팔거나 부캐 키울때 써먹기도 하는 등 지속적인 재미가 있었는데 디아블로4는 아무리 레벨업을해도 몬스터도 아이템도 똑같은 레벨로 맞춰지는데 무슨 생각으로 이런 허접한 레벨스케일링을 했는지 이해할 수가 없다. 그리고 대부분 아이템이 거래도 안되서 좋은 아이템이 나와도 설레임이 없다. 이 넗은 맵에 등장몬스터는 항상 똑같음. 망령, 염소인간이 전 맵에 걸쳐 있음. 최종 게임에서 아무 것도 할 게 없음. 시리즈 중 최악의 디아블로Diablo 4에 대한 솔직한 리뷰를 해보자면 게임 초반에는 괜찮아 보이지만 점차 지루해집니다. 디아블로2의 경우에는 레벨링과 파밍 즉 성장해가며 템맞추고 타직업 템도 나와서 팔거나 부캐 키울때 써먹기도 하는 등 지속적인 재미가 있었는데 디아블로4는 아무리 레벨업을해도 몬스터도 아이템도 똑같은 레벨로 맞춰지는데 무슨 생각으로 이런 허접한 레벨스케일링을 했는지 이해할 수가 없다. 그리고 대부분 아이템이 거래도 안되서 좋은 아이템이 나와도 설레임이 없다. 이 넗은 맵에 등장몬스터는 항상 똑같음. 망령, 염소인간이 전 맵에 걸쳐 있음. 최종 게임에서 아무 것도 할 게 없음. 시리즈 중 최악의 디아블로

    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.
