    Uninstalling after the Season 1 patch. Had high hopes for the game and enjoyed it for a bit, but then the season 1 patch came and it's just a horrible, slow, slog for no actual game. This is an ARPG, not Stardew Valley. Fast pace, good and varied loot, and great bosses are a must and D4 now fails on every single one of those.

    Diablo 4 is worse than a bad game. It's an experiment to see how much money you can extract for the least amount of game possible, ethics be damned. How low can we go and still get away with raking in cash? It's anti-consumer and damaging to the industry.

This raises a significant concern regarding the purpose of engaging in the game to enhance loot collection and master the mechanics, only to have these achievements rendered obsolete after countless hours of dedication. As players, we seek a sense of fulfillment and progression, yet the developers seem to overlook the impact of their actions, neglecting to thoroughly evaluate and experience their own creations. Consequently, this raises valid doubts about the forthcoming seasons – why should I invest time and energy into building a character and reaching a commendable milestone when the developers may simply erase all my efforts? It is essential for game developers to understand the importance of respecting players' time and commitment, fostering an environment that celebrates and values the journey towards accomplishment, rather than undermining it.

    Spent my money on this game and played the campaign. Thought this game was great. I have played further and now admit I was conned by an unethical company.
    This game only positive is you can pat the dog in town. I purchased a game that had 5 playable characters. Now 3 are playable and 2 are laughable. New patch has made me feel like I've bought a car with 3 wheels.

    The instant "success" and profit figures of Diablo 4 are totally based on the franchise name and history, not this game itself.

    I made a review and got a 403. Great. I'll just summarize:
    This patch is horrible. It needs to be reverted. If this is how they are going to update the game and implement player feedback (taking the feedback and doing the polar opposite), then they don't deserve to have good reviews.
    Spend your $75 elsewhere. You won't regret missing this one, at least in the bad state it is in right now.

    The games made by a group of self-centered people don’t understand what the players want.

    First off I am a business owner, so I take it VERY SERIOUSLY before writing a review. Let alone a NEGATIVE ONE. But I had too. I am so disappointed with this game and I'm going to tell you why.

    First off I am a business owner, so I take it VERY SERIOUSLY before writing a review. Let alone a NEGATIVE ONE. But I had too. I am so disappointed with this game and I'm going to tell you why. Waited over 10 years for this game. After grinding for a decade on Diablo 3 - My first introduction to the game.

    Diablo 4 started off amazing. And really had a decent story, much better gameplay than Diablo 3 and fixed a ton of stuff. Problem here is two fold. I have NEVER liked seasons. I think it's the dumbest idea ever personally. I think they are entirely a waste - And forces you to NOT continue progressing the same character that you love obviously, and it's unfortunate that you are pigeon-holed into continuing with what blizzard wants you to do, and not exactly what you want to do. Making previous characters irrelevant, then onto next sprint to another pointless season.

    2nd problem with this game is the fact that the nerfs, buffs, and patches don't just come. They come with a FORCE. It's not a simple, "lets fix a couple things." It's literally: "Hey you guys are having fun with our video game, and finding all this cool stuff, and very serious players are reaping many rewards because they SLAVED 100's of hours? Yeah, lets NUKE your fun." The last patch they put out was the most atrocious, despicable, and relentless change to a video I have ever seen in 32 years. The saddest thing I have ever experienced playing video games personally. And it felt personal. I am not alone in this. Read the dang reviews lol.

    Instead of some really reasonable fixes, they NUKED all characters, and made my personal favorite Rogue absolutely unplayable. Especially at high levels. Taking away the one thing that made them playable - LEACH. I Could push HIGH 75's+ NM dungeons with relative ease bases on building a badass character with endless time and tinkering put in, and now low 60's are hard, and taking away most of the fun and progression higher. Patch goal = add to the grind factor. Like really? Dude Diablo franchise is already a grind. You don't multiply that for the sake of doing so. It's a grind franchise by default. Don't forcibly add to that.

    I say this as a major warning when it comes to doing any involvement with blizzard. They are a cash grab. I saw it in Diablo 3. DO NOT be fooled by FALSE critic reviews Who are NOT GAMERS. THE devs are after money. They are not after creating the best video game, and they showed us this when the last patch came out. And also many changes back int he day of D3. They destroyed "eternal realm" that I was playing 6 hours a day on+ to wanting to uninstall the game. Literally I'm not playing at all anymore overnight. Was even going to splurge on a $6,000 custom computer setup just for the game. Money is not an issue and I had fun. Why not?! Not anymore. Back to final fantasy. Diablo 4 as of right now is dead, and DO NOT be fooled by critics and dev's who are NOT PLAYERS.

    I have worked in many industries. Reviews can be bought, and blizzard devs are NOT your friend. They are a business that need to monetize margins and revenue. Destroying eternal realm to push everyone into seasons to "try and keep it fresh," and sell you things (cosmetics, etc) is their game. They are not after all players. They are after the widest "monetizeable demographic." Trust me... I teach people how to scale their businesses and top-line revenue. I know they're game. They don't care about the major gamer, the hardcore gamer, they just want to appeal to the casual mindless zombie that "toes the line" and will show up no matter how much they nuke their fun. Each season after another.

    Marvel did this when after "Avengers Endgame" - They made everything a joke, stupid, and for kiddies, because they could make more money. Quantity over quality. It's not about good story here. It's the cheese/bread/dinero/$.

    It really saddens me to make this post as I really liked D4 in the beginning. It is an unplayable empty shell husk compared to what we started with. Hope this does not come off as whining, but more of a diary or therapy session LOL for venting. Blizzard did the community DIRTY, and I promise you they don't care. It will only get worse. This is their intro.

    You are not their priority. Profit is. This is expected.

    "When you try and save everyone, you doom everyone."

    Good luck with your seasons. Hopefully not everyone feels this way, and some still enjoy the game, but like I said. They absolutely desecrated major gamers, and what makes a game fun, and what makes it so fun to keep showing up too. Retiring Diablo 4. GG blizzard. You guys won. I hope your margins were worth it.

    P.S. Don't introduce uber uniques at such a low drop rate, that nobody over the course of 4000 hours of gameplay will ever find, and even if they do find ONE, they can still roll bad stats. Like dudes, what were you thinking. Dev team is so out of touch it's bonkers. Shame. Good luck all. Hope this helps!

    From a good(not great) early/mid-game + campaign and big marketing campaign that probably made them 1-2 billion in revenue in the first few weeks - while making people literally pay $70-100 to be beta testers especially for the end game - to making people quit the game with season 1 to cut cost.

    I used this as a guide for my Ice Sorc. (https://www.thegamer.com/diablo-4-sorcerer-ice-shards-build-guide/)

    Visuals - Stunning! The game looks awesome!

    Sound - The game is missing the iconic Diablo background sound track! I'm surprised they didn't use it anywhere!

    Story - I don't know. That's just it, I can't finish the game!

    Game Play - Since the new patch 1.1, my character (Ice Sorc) can't do anything! I used to be able to handle a crowd of enemies with some ease or even some challenge with elites. Now forget it...I can't even handle 5 low level clans in the open maps and Dungeons, quests, and story line cannot be completed! They NERFd the hell out of me! I'm useless now!

    My ~30 level Sorc would deal about 300 per Ice Shard, so about 1500 per enemy shot. Now I'm down to 250 (1250 Total) and the health for the bad guys went up about 15%. That makes my char 35% weaker! But wait...there is more! Now my cooldown was about 1-2 seconds, now it's 3! So...

    Before Patch
    1500 Damage Per Second
    ~1.5 second cool down
    Normal Enemy Health
    CAN kill single enemies from distance before they get close enough.

    After Patch
    1250 Damage per Second
    ~3 second Cool Down
    Increased enemy health
    CAN'T kill single enemies from distance before they get close enough.

    So i have to run around, jump freeze, run away, all while my cooldowns are ready, then BAM the monsters on top of me again...

    UNPLAYBLE NOW! FIX IT!

    The gear is somehow worse that Diablo 3 gear was at launch, which was so bad they had to completely revamp it when they launched the Reaper of Souls Expansion.

    Players complained there was nothing to do at max level, so blizzard nerfed all the classes damage and nerfed XP rates so it'll take twice as long to hit max level. Problem solved!

    Continuing the essence of "Don't you guys have phones?!" Blizzard continues to be completely out of touch with their fans not even understanding why people are upset.

    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.

    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.
    The fireside chats are a joke and most of the time they make promises to fix the problems they have admitted to, and than do the complete opposite. They tell you what you wanna hear but than go and do whatever they want and ignore it all.

    I've put in hundreds of hours in both D2 and D3. I still go back and play them. Each had there downfalls but was still fun to play. D4 looks great and the campaign was okay but that's about it. For a game that supposed to have atmosphere the mobs severely lack noises and the ones that do, are annoying. I'm looking at you fallen shamen. The skill tree gives the illusion of flexibility, then you realise about 4-5hrs in "oh most of the skills suck, looks like its spin to win baby". On my Necro, I want to use minions but are mediocre against mobs and are useless against bosses. Speaking of the bosses, they are straight boring. D2 Andarial and Durial were an absolute pain but was satisfying to beat, D4 snoozefest. The pacing of the game feels slow, particularly after the 1.1 disaster. Maybe if you had a PTR Blizzard, we could of told you before you implemented it, how bad it is. WoW has had one for years, where is it?

    They got rid of set items because they wanted more variety in game play. Yet they gave us these super rare items aspects that make or break a build. Whats the difference??? At least with the sets I could build to something. In D3 I got the same set item, sweet I can transmute to another item in the set. Sure it wasn't guaranteed but it gave a better chance.

    In all fairness, it took D3 years before it got better. But surely after 3 games you learn from mistakes. Each game people have wanted more stash space, this is not is a diablo alone complaint. People like collecting, in games and IRL. What is even more perplexing is they had the "let's load the stash when you see another player" problem in D3. Seriously, did no one question this system going into D4??? Nah let's just give less stash instead. We just want to hoard. Let the people hoard!!!!!!

    I could go on and on but I've already wasted enough time on D4.

    After my rant, my point is simply, the game is not fun!

    Blizzard, you deserve every bit of hate you're getting from the player-base for what you did in patch 1.1.

    If you're considering buying this game, just know that someone in charge there has obviously decided they don't want you to have fun. An entire class is nigh unplayable for the endgame content; that right there should speak volumes about what their internal "testing" must look like.

Diablo 4 could be great. Where it is at right now? Save yourself the headache and don't bother investing time into a company/ game that refuses to sell you a product you get to enjoy for more than 5 minutes before having your digital world randomly turned upside down. 1.1 was absolute trash Blizzard.

Hardly any to choose from - End Game is Dungeons which in it of themselves give no useful rewards - You're either dead or alive. There is no in-between - Affixes, Affixes, Affixes, Affixes -- Way to many useless ones.

    Diablo 4 is an ok game if you want a quick and bland story that'll take you a couple of days to play through and the intention is to put it aside after that campaign concludes. Otherwise, it simply isn't worth your time or money.

    We will not be developing an endgame, we will just nerf the classes and reduce the experience gained. And we will also sell the battle pass without confirmation.

    awful game, not even close to D2, not worth your money.
    Do not waste your time or money on this!!!

    Absolutely ruined the game with the latest patch…. The end game sucks even worse than it did. Season 1 is an absolute joke. I created an account on metacritic just to write this, that should tell you how much I loathe the new season and updates. Can’t wait for BG3 though!

    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.
