    I bought the game coz the beta was looking atleast promising, sadly the game i still in a alpha state. The game gets 1 point for graphics and the combatsystem which doesnt feel atleast terrible. All the rest is made to keep you slow, no quality of life at all, bugs which are existing since the beta... just no fun at all.

    What can we learn from what is happening now?

    About the reviews: The "journalists" are not journalists, they are just sales influencers who give good ratings and highlight only the good sides of the product because it is necessary to sell and because they have an advantage to withdraw from it. We have been aware of this for a long time, but now those who doubted it should no longer.

    About studios, publishers, licenses: Marketing hold the reins of the horse, and the time of games made by a team that is committed to doing well and making outstanding games is over. Perhaps salvation will come from independent studios...until they are bought out. Some publishers have a reputation among gamers for being like a fake philosopher's stone that turns everything it touches into crap, putting pressure on the studios, pushing them to make choices and decisions that damage the game. and at the studio.

    Diablo 4 is just a product meant to make the most money and was not designed for your intertainment. The devs don't really know what to do to pass off this fake diablo as authentic and accumulate blunders. There is nothing more to expect from Blizzard in the future I think. Keep your money or give it to a studio that deserves it.    … Expand

    I have been a fan of the Diablo series for many years (over two decades) and I played Diablo 1 on my submarine, and it was a crew favorite. Played D2 on my second submarine, where it was also a crew favorite, loved the PvP with all of us sitting in crew's mess hooked up via lan cables and nuking each other.

Played D2 on my second submarine, where it was also a crew favorite, loved the PvP with all of us sitting in crew's mess hooked up via lan cables and nuking each other. D3 was ok, got better with time. D4? Oh my... What a trash game made by a trash company. Oh how the once great company that was Blizzard entertainment has fallen, only to be replace by Bli$$ard Craptainment, only here to empty your wallet.

    This game could be good. It could be, if it had competent developers that knew anything about how to make an ARPG, let alone even played one. It would also need a competent management team that were interested in anything but egregious monetization practices and fleecing the customer out of every nickle and dime that they bring home with overpriced cosmetics that cost more than some far superior full feature games. It would also need to be made by a company that was worth a plugged nickle and had some standards of decency and moral fiber.

    The core game loop is there, and it is somewhat fun, if not repetitive. Basic quality of life features that should be present from launch are absent (but hey, the microtransaction store works, and got fixed before anything else did...) the lack of understanding how their own game works, and a seemingly unable to fix something without breaking something else. Not to mention nerfing the living **** out of several classes after people had spent a serious time commitment to get the top first world 100's, then wrecking that commitment. So on and so forth. There is not enough storage, and the morons developing the game can't add more, supposedly because the game loads in all of the stash tabs of all the people around you. I think this is a bald face lie, as why would you make this design decision as a developer? It isn't logical, it severs no purpose, and is just idiotic. I don't know why they won't add more, but it is bad. I don't think they are capable of figuring out their own program, because they are incompetent and have a lackadaisical knowledge of there own game. This is what happens when you hire based off of qualities to fill a certain quota for a certain type of people, and don't hire passions and talent. It shows in this game, it is designed to waste your time, and it shows. Junkyard conflagration bad.

    Why no gem storage separate of your other storage? Why such a low limit on crafting stuff at launch? Why no loot filter? Why do resistances not work? Why are Overpower, Crit and Vulnerability so powerful, and the other stats are just kinda junk? Why is there no basic stats on all gear, like in D3 (like life and Will/Dex/Str? These are basic questions that should have been figured out before launch, not now. Why so many worthless stats? Why so many stats? Over 75% of them could be eliminated and nobody would notices.

    The campaign is OK, story is OK, but man, that little turd Neyrelle kinda ruins the whole thing. End game is bad. Like do the same thing over and over and over and over, and once you get past a certain point, it feels like you don't really get any upgrades, and get random **** that doesn't really do anything but make you say WTF? Killing mobs at your level or higher, only to have them drop a **** legendary that is 20 or 30 levels lower. Getting an outstanding build defining unique or legendary, only to have it be bad, because it is 30 levels lower and has garbage stats. And rerolling? You can afford to do it once.. Don't try and trade it, else you'll get banned, as you have no way of knowing if the dude you are trading with has dirty exploited gold or not

    Long and short of it is Overpriced garbage , Bad game, designed by incompetent dev clowns, Bozo and crew could've done better. Bad company that supports bad practices, and that leads to a **** product that you'd be better off not purchasing, saving your time and money for some else that respects your time and money, and this **** product isn't it.    … Expand

This game was maybe worth 30 dollars. I would never condone spending 70 on this overpriced heap.

    For the people who say that "this is the best diablo ever" Are... Interestingly missing some extraordinary points to make about, well, anything.

    While the cut scenes are the strongest that Diablo has ever had, with the best or most voice acting, this Diablo has the worst world building there has ever been.

    There are very few types of enemies, and half of them are just recolorations/reskins of another type of enemy. At various points, without any explanation, in a new area, you're fighting enemies without any knowledge of whom they are. They lightest touch as to any explanation as to whom they might be often comes from some side quest that might come way later, or hard to find.

    Even more obnoxiously, when you are attempting to do dungeons extraneous to the primary storyline, which is considered the "end game content", which is what Blizzard is all about... Blizzard tools all their games purely for end game content, not for much else. The enemies that were actually described, The Cathedral, and the Mother's Cult are mortal enemies and frequently fight you alongside each other.

    While you are in the storyline fighting for the Cathedral you just randomly start killing Cathedral long before you get anywhere near any explanation for why the 2 color skins of their armies would be against you, saints and penitents.

    Basically, everything to do with environmental immersion is non-existent in a way I've never seen so broken in a loot box type game.

    Destiny, every prior Diablo, every mobile phone game with 0 thought put into them except casino addition exploitation and microtransactions that now Blizzard is desperately trying to participate in, every Borderlands has far better immersion and explanation of enemies, your place in the world.

    So the gameplay feels nonsensical. You're just hammering pixels for no apparent reason other than to pinata things. At least every other comparable title (which is 20 dollars cheaper and looks better and does not rubberband constantly) gives you a solid reason why for each enemy, rather than just slamming out there just to slam out there. It's like Blizzard just got exceptionally lazy and assumed no one cared about their world building, they would be satisfied with the story and everything else in the world didn't actually matter to be cohesive in any function.

    Then there is the microtransactions. The battlepasses. The microtransactions are the most expensive I've seen before, and there is absolutely no way to gain anything through effort in the shops unlike in... every other game out there. If you want things for free, get into WoW and farm 100 hours of your life for 15 to 30 bucks if people are still buying and selling WoW currency. Not worth the time or effort. And Blizzard is NOT worth your money. Especially with how they are trashing Larian Studios for delivering such an exceptional game with total exquisite immersion.

    A Battlepass, Blizzard has the worst battlepass I have ever seen. They only give 666 currency accessible only through purchasing premium for 1,000 which their battlepasses cost 1000 or 2800. You can not get the currency, you only get an awful looking basic xmog and some urn ashes to marginally increase resource drops from trash farming. It's terrible. Everything in the shop is worth absurd amounts and is barely visible except mounts.

    A ridiculous amount of people have huge grievances with the above. I give the game 2 stars because the main story is well done, the cinematics are well done, but the entirety of the world and the immersion of the game breaks halfway through. And the end game, post story is... unrewarding, extremely easy, and just undlessly grinding and repetitive.

    To be in torment, hitting the same content, doing 20 nightmare dungeons, and maybe, just maybe, get 1 item to consider to switch out because nothing ever drops over 800. They changed how loot drops in relation to the cache apparently, which made it even harder to get good unique items, lowered power levels drops, and just basically I've been using the same items from level 60 to 91. Probably some 60 to 100 hours of play with averaging 1 decent drop every 5 hours that still trashes out. Just very unrewarding.    … Expand

    Skip this game. It's a $60 game where they sell you battle passes, and they they slow down gameplay and leveling so you wouldn't be able to complete battle pass in sane time and would be forced to buy battle pass levels for $2 a level.

    Also, fun drop rates where you will be unable to get build defining items in 100 levels, and where you have gear which drops once in lifetime and then    Skip this game.

    - Who was the idiot who said "I know what players want! More on death explosions from mobs!" No one wants to break up the flow of awesome killing sprees only to have to spend 2-3 seconds watching a mob blow up, to pick up some garbage sacred item we didn't even need.

    - Why the hell does Sacred and sub 725 gear drop in wt4? Like.. what? WHY? The entire itemization process is awful. When I hit 100, I want to farm better gear than when I was level 70.

    - NM dungeons. Okay Blizzard, we get it that you want us to farm those. But the thing is, they kinda suck and are not fun. Resource Burn? Seriously? Stormbanes Wrath? Lightning Dome? In what world did you think this was fun? They aren't fun. They're the opposite of fun. In fact, despite that I've done hundreds of NM dungeons, honestly they are just not as good as Greater Rifts. D3 was better in this way.

    - What's with the pointless puzzles? I don't need the menial task of clicking 2 levers next to spikes that do 0 damage, over and over and over again. Just why?

    - Every dungeon feels flat. No depth, no stairs, no secret cow level or pony level awaiting us. Same stupid fight, every time only they have some obnoxious modifier that just isn't fun at all.

    - Everything about how the horse moves pisses me off. Gets stuck on everything, can't sprint in towns.

    - Inventory management is pure garbage and needs an entire rework. I'm not even going to harp on this because there are others here that have posted amazing suggestions. The entire aspect system is awful. I love the idea of an upgraded codex system that doesn't steal inventory space. I have 7 mules just to hold gear on 2 characters. Most of the aspects have like 1% difference in their stats, so pointless and frustrating.    … Expand

    Players who want an autoplay game are frustrated with lots of menial parts. Players who are looking for mechanical challenge will not find it past like level 10. The story, the writing, the setting all show a lot of love poured into it by devs, but that got in turn poured down the drain somewhere along the development.

    Serious buyers remorse on this one. Season 1 is starting, no progress actually transferred, and I'm not even mad. Because I'm already bored of it.    … Expand

    If you want to feel hopeless with no control over your character, go ahead and buy the game because 90% of the time you'll be frozen/stunned/fear/slowed. The other 10%, managing the lack of space for your inventory.

    The most un-fun ARPG in existance.Low mob density because their awful servers can handle more, and even then continue to lag out constantly. Some classes speed clearing endgame while others can barely handle enemies of the same level. Awful and restricitive class balance and design. Everyone should had known better after they canceled OW2. Blizzard is long gone.

    1. Item progression - I have literally no emotions about legendaries. Is it yellow or legendary it’s just yet another item to check after you’re done with your run. You just check if the legend has a perfect roll on aspect and that’s it. On top of that at level 100 I’m still wearing lvl 60 item above many (all except 1 below 100, most sub 90) because the stats just rolled well with decent item power. Can you bind ilvl and stats to nightmare dung level ? Currently there is no point of pushing nightmare dungs at all. You just try to farm items wherever, in fact just yesterday I got an upgrade from a normal dung when boosting a friend, I was farming nd+ 50-90 for quite a while got 1 upgrade post 100. There is literally no point other than do whatever you like and try to beat nd+ 100 for the achievement. Don’t sweat with too hight nd+ it doesn’t benefit you at all.

    storage space is a joke - making mules is great becasue additional storage boxes have to be added in a season or be payed for right ? How much kb’s such a storage may take to limit it to 3… come on. On top of that you added new kind of gem and more aspects that we don’t have the space for anyway

    Every build on every class just feels like a worse d3 version. I want to make an uber killer that will wreck everything if you grind long enough in the meantime regardless of class it just doesn’t feel like that ever. Barb ww or hota is nothing like barb in d3 rogue is so much worse than dh, necro is… who even knows what necro is, druid is a tanky mage and mage is just a scholar… and you keep nerfin any fun build and make it non viable

    Talent respec - you literally discourage respecs, it costs A LOT to respec, and getting gear/rerolling for main spec takes ages and then we want to check other options… Can we get the drawer option back alrdy ? It can cost w/e just bring it back

    Aspects are just done wrong, another RNG put on top of an RNG, enough said

    Alts/twinks - seriously after speending like 150-200 hours to farm to 100, I have to level AGAIN from 0 to 50 and then keep running after someone to have this 1/10 of a d3 taxi experience ? OK taxi in d3 was way to powerfull but if I have friends that are willing to lvl my alt what’s the big deal to not let us do that, that brings us to another point… and you then nerf exp gained. Have you even checked how many people got to 100 because I haven’t seen that many ?

    Party and exp range - do we literally have to keep running after each other holding hands like we’re in some cult ? The moment someone wonders to another branch buff breaks. What is the point of that ? And you further discourage playing with someone by adding more HP to monster while in a party !

    No filter on items - do I have to keep an excel sheet for my stash and later on twinks to know where is what aspect ? You had it figured out in d3 pretty much and we go back now to no filters what the hell ?

    Elemental res - this one is just a filler and waste of space, please just make it all res + or get rid of it at all, no one is doing any res gear, especially with this randomized rolls

    World bosses and most events just doesn’t have any sense. You walk in clear, or gather ashes just to get some resources because good drops are not an option for sure

    Rerolling aspects - can we get the roll table back, or at least have it randomized not to have the same 2-3 affixes being rolled back and forth that is in the end preveneting in getting anything good ?

    Unique - thank god they at least have more value so I can get more gold out of it for my respecs… because 98/100 uniques are just not for me or any meta build that I want to push dungs with, and the new uniques bring little to nothing to the table

    Shared stash - what is the point of sharing items if they are lvl bound so I can’t actually give any of those to other chars unless I level them to 60/80 ?

    End game - that one is just horrible. I got all of my glyph for any builds I want to test to max level even before 100. There is no progression after hitting max level excluding item progression that is bad as I mentioned earlier.    … Expand

    I purchased the game under the impression that it was going to be a sequel to Diablo 3, instead I got a Diablo Immoral II without the pay-2-win loot system. While I enjoyed progression through the campaign power seems to come to an abrupt stop once you reach the end game. You're forced to run tedious activities that have only gotten worse with each patch. Character progression in the endI purchased the game under the impression that it was going to be a sequel to Diablo 3, instead I got a Diablo Immoral II without the pay-2-win loot system. While I enjoyed progression through the campaign power seems to come to an abrupt stop once you reach the end game. You're forced to run tedious activities that have only gotten worse with each patch. Character progression in the end game is tied to generic gear drops where there's a bunch of different pieces of Armour in each slot but they all receive the same attributes and stat ranges. No variance in the gear leads to both rare and legendary items being the exact same. There's about 1 good unique for each class and the rest are uniquely useless out side of the uber uniques. Uber uniques are the mythical items that the community are told exist, but you would have to play for thousands of hours just to find someone wearing one that they got legitimately. Blizzard for the other 99.99% of players, uber uniques only exist in screenshots. I'll never understand why half of the usable uniques were cut out of the game.

    One huge reason for diablo's success has been its loot systems that were based around Magic find. Unfortunately in DIablo 4 the gear has only gotten worse since the game's release. A big reason loot is terrible is because blizzard decided to move stats off of gear and put it into the paragon system. This has resulted in loot becoming substantially worse in Diablo 4, so much so that if you turn off damage number and swap gear you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Moving stats from gear to paragon has effectively turn MFing into garbage picking. You spend more time looking through the trash you picked up doing doing a NMD than it takes to do the dungeon.

    tl;dr The game's loot system may just be the worst loot I've seen in an ARPG. It has become tedious to even look at loot in the game because it's so bad. Gear upgrades become small fast around level 70 and after that each paragon point begins to give more of a bonus than you would expect on a gear slot upgrade. Considering you get a paragon point ever 25% of a level, it makes looting feel worthless. Paragon points are not exciting. 70-100 takes a LONG time solo, which has only been made worse by experience and damage nerfs. You're going to receive 80+% of loot you in between 70-100. Having to look through 10-20 loot pulls to find a slot upgrade at level 70 is a nightmare when you know the upgrade is less than a paragon point. SMFH    … Expand

    Absurd nerfs in patches can come at any time, I can't stress this enough. One day you will be happy and having fun and the next day your character will be unplayable.

    Okay so basically don't get this game. The devs are the worst at reading a crowd that I've ever seen. They clearly don't know what direction to take the game. I spent over 300 hours grinding out the perfect gear and finally felt good and days later they nerfed my character so hard I lost easily 80% damage while more powerful builds got relatively untouched. The gameplay is extremely repetitive, grinding out the same tasks or dungeons over and over. And when I say they are the same I mean literally the same thing. Endgame is absolute garbage. I feel like an idiot for spending so much time and money on this game. Don't fall into the same trap. Please look for a game that respects your time and devs that won't nuke you back into the stone age for no reason what so ever one day while other classes were and continue to outperform. If I were to continue playing I would have legit anxiety that I would be mega nerfed for no reason out of no where.    … Expand

    The latest patch legit ruined the game. Bobby and Activision RUINED Blizzard. What’s one good thing Blizzard has done the last several years? COD - garbage. Overwatch 2 - beyond trash.

Get real. You buff everything, then delete all the good. Balance is fine, but making everything long, drawn out, and not fun isnt. Fkx everything about the game. I’m not going to post the deets, you’ve already seen them. Maybe try this game in a year. For now, it’s garbage. Monetization has taken over gaming. Dumb battle passes and terrible seasons have taken over games. D4 could have been a masterpiece, but idiots like Bobby K and Activision care about the bottom dollar, not the game or community. It’s obvious these people aren’t gamers, just one percenters that need to go. D4 devs, team, management: fix the game or it will continue to slowly fade away.… Expand

    Gameplay and graphical presentation (to a degree) is great. It’s the Diablo you know only shinier unfortunately that’s where the good news ends.

    The story is horrifically mid and riddled with pacing problems apart from a single kick-ass cutscene we saw half of in promo material.

    Class variation is horrifically stunted due to issues inherent on how the game calculates damage and every single build and class revolves around the same thing. Get crit as close to 100% and add crit damage and take everything you can and every skill you can to maintain as close to 100% vuln uptime as possible. Because these two stats are multipliers of your damage they will always be required.

    This means that any skill that applies vulnerability is insta slotted in at the cost of any real player choice. Would you like to play the game doing the most damage or play one handed in the name of “fun”.

    (With patch 1.1 the devs stated they wanted to leases the reliance on these stats by reducing their availability in scaling however completely missed the mark in addressing that when they are seperate sole sources of multipliers, they will always be reliant upon)

    There is an increasingly obvious ammount of missing QoL things. Things as simple as graphical indications of buffs and debuffs share exactly the same icons making it impossible to see at a glance what is what, glyphs, a system on the paragon board after level 50 suffers the same issue. One glyph will be completely different from another in its function but looks exactly the same graphically to 4 others making it annoying to find what you’re looking for and no search function.

    The same applies for gear. Which by the way the special unique equipment (which for the most part are not “build defining” as advertised pre launch) not only share a slightly different colour to other gear but share icons and most of the time actual models on your character. The open world is very reminiscent of an mmo-lite. However that’s where any resemblance of mmo-lite ends. There’s almost no social features, no group finder or anything you’d expect other than a superficial clan and friends list and a chat box no one uses. No trading and no dungeon grouping.    … Expand

    The latest patch has followed suite with what seems to be a general trend of Blizzard for this game: "if they're having fun we'd better patch it to cut that out.".

    Latest patch nerfs all classes, forces an ideology of glass cannon builds, and essentially punishes players for all of the work they've done this far. If Blizzard's reading this: GET YOUR SH!T TOGETHER!

    Recent patch took away from the game. The endgame is extremely sad. This is supposed to be a mm light, a live service game with social elements but it has even less of social elements than diablo 3. No matchmaking, no trade chat.

    Menues are confusing, not my taste for an good looking UI and sometimes a nightmare finding back something.

    Story is ... not bad, but not the best. It has its moments, cutscenes are rly great, but the Logic and the progress is far behind what it could be.

    And the game itself?

    It feels incomplete to me. No Set items, rly less uniqes, no one remembers the name of the smithes in towns. I mean ... come on, everyone knows who is Headrig.
    The world feels empty, soul less, cold, but not in an creepy way, more like "i don't have fun doing this or that in here" way.
    To small personal chest, no build switch closet, rly to less level of difficulty, just 2 ... TWO perhaps rememberable bossmonsters ... all others ... i couldn't tell.

    Yeah you have an open World with always online thingy ... but ... this don't feel like diablo.
    It's just annoying "ah, look over there, my questmob ... is gone, ... by screendmg from character "4rsWhole5587" .... "

    The ingame shop is way to expensive for an uncompleted software like this.
    The battlepass don't give enough ingame currency to even buy one item ... you can't buy nothing with the currency from the battlepass, everything in shop costs more than you'll get.

    For me, Diablo V is for sure the dissapointment of the decade and rly for sure not worth any playtime in there.

    This happens, when publishers are getting greedy, lazy and presumptuous.    … Expand

    I was having a blast and they sucked the fun out of it. While I’m disappointed, I should have expected this. This is blizzard we’re talking about, and they have a history of doing this. This feels like a push towards heavy monetization. If people aren’t playing, they can’t monetize. The longer they play, the more likely they are to buy.

    so many bad game design choices. biggest fail for me is level scaling. u find a powerful weapon? dont worry, the game wont make u feel powerful ever cause of level scaling. legendary affixes are boring and even unique affixes are way less fun and way less creative as they were in D3. WTF WERE THEY THINKING???

    This game is one perfect example of how the d4 team at blizzard does not know their games audience, and what people who play this genre actually like.
    The interviews before the games release and after the games release were already made me think that they have no idea what they are doing, and they are definitely not playing their own games.
    After the first season it is very much clear that they do not know the basics as well.

    this is a perfect example when siphoning money from the fan base is the main focus and the rest is just a cover up on top of it. The game has lots of bugs and overall experience is nah when you get anywhere after lvl 25... It looks great at first and than you realize how boring this is. it is nothing like the Diablo games we all love to play anymore. Such a shame.

    Blizzard and all the devs there just keep killing this game. I do think they are doing this intentionally so they can just walk away with the money that they have made of everyone. Just wait for PoE2 or BG3 for your gaming fix I would say.

    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.
