    And !@#$% cocpium fanboys u can SMD in your basement. I’ve been playing games when you were still in diapers. You are the reason why this is happening. Go buy a battlepass or damn armor for your horse.

    This is downfall of Blizzard as we know, Blizz will not die or smth, it will just sift player base to fanboys and kids who still live with mothers and the only dopamine they got is from dropping 800iLVL 2h sword from a spider. Because a normal person doesn’t work for 5-12 hours a day just to get one dopamine molecule.

    We are idiots to buy this game. It’s time to move on. This company is dead; it will never again make a good game. There won’t be an amazing game like W3, D2, WoW (first 2-3). That’s it. They’re a bunch of woke 20-25-year-old super cheap labor working who don’t even finish a single game from the ones mentioned above.

    TL;DR !@#$% you Bobby Kotick, I hope that wherever you go, you will have the “opportunity” to play all these games you are proud of."    … Expand

    The gameplay: pretty boring

    The skills feel super limited and quite boring, some of the shrines provide fun skills for a very short amount of time, but the skills themselves are really quite boring. Cooldowns really suck. They're too long, and there isn't a time you'll sacrifice cooldown reduction on gear for literally any other stat.

    The gameplay is slow, each enemy takes several hits, and AOE skills are slow to reload and are really underpowered.

    How does it compare to other games?
    POE although complicated is fast, and makes you feel like a god.
    Last Epoch even in pre-release/open beta has a better feeling combat system, faster gameplay, more rewarding progression, and snappier servers.

    Should you buy it?

Needs on top for the season makes the time to level extremely bad to keep time played for shareholder quotas indicators. Limited color palette for dying cosmetics is just horrible.    … Expand

    +1 point for visuals and art

    Other than that D4 is a huge disappointment for me as a Diablo fan.

    - Endgame is non existent at the moment. No meaningful endgame loop to keep you hooked and developing your character further power wise or item wise since you have your glyphs.

    - ITEMISATION is my main gripe, it is generic and shallow. All items feels the same and have no identity to them, everyone is using same items with same stats, feel of progression doesnt exist. That means no dopamine rush or excitement about a cool item drop. All of this makes playing this game extremely boring and tedious to the point when you log in and cant keep your eyes open for longer than couple of minutes, because theres nothing to do anyway.

    - I dont uderstand the MMO aspect of this game because there is nothing to support this
    - I dont like level scaling
    - I preferred separate acts in previous Diablo games
    - Trading basically doesnt exist
    - QoL features in this game are abysmal

Multiplayer is horrible. End game is atrociously boring. Remember when there was a chance to get a COA unique drop on every Chaos run, well you can forget about that in D4. What you will find are 50 million legendaries with meaningless stats and skills that help you out 0% unless you want to spend 3 hours rearranging your entire skill “tree” and paragon point system for the chance that it might feel like you’re doing 1% more damage. However, By far the worst mechanic in D4 and I mean someone should be shot for this, is the parallel enemy leveling system. Want to feel OP like every other RPG at least some point in the game I.e approaching endgame. Well too **** bad, every enemy is going to be 2-3 levels higher than you so go f yourself.

    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.
