    This game is just one big joke, the marketing is multi-level and enticing for players. After all the promises that it would have the best mechanics from its predecessors, it's just a joke because I don't remember the mechanics ever being this weak. There was supposed to be an endgame that would provide many hours of gameplay, but you reach level 50-70 and it's so boring, it's shocking.This game is just one big joke, the marketing is multi-level and enticing for players.

There was supposed to be an endgame that would provide many hours of gameplay, but you reach level 50-70 and it's so boring, it's shocking. Character building is dull, and everyone plays the same way because there's nothing interesting you can create with the skill tree; it's laughable and there's nothing exciting in it. The Paragon system should change the playstyle, but it doesn't give you anything significant, just a bit of damage, and it's pathetic how little it affects the gameplay. As for the item system, it's like it doesn't even exist because there are only 50 unique items that are so underwhelming that school kids could come up with better ones than what we got in this game. And don't get me started on the latest update, it turned the game into something even worse, as now the characters that were already weak have become even weaker...… Expand

    I'm a long time D3 player and really looked forward to D4. Sadly, this game is nothing more than a tedious slog published by a company only interested in making it more so. Save your money. The Blizzard of old is indeed sadly dead.

    Everything was nerfed to the ground! All the fun in loot, in killing hordes of monsters, etc... all classes feel like they have a wet toilet paper armour, the damage of the skills is laughably bad and in general the game is not fun and doesnt make you wanna login again.

    Not only they are forcing you to start a new character, but they are also forcing you to do the renown again, explore the same map again, do the same side-quests again, and unlock the waypoints again, like **** no. This is absolute BS.

    Division 2 did it way better IMO - they had seasons too, players kept their fully leveled-up characters, could start new ones if they wanted, and they kept adding new stuff to the game, in terms of gear sets, new storylines, and super fun unique weapons to play with.    … Expand

    I would avoid currently. No end game activities, lots of confusing patches, very repetitive gameplay at the moment, pvp is a mess, and there just isn't enough build diversity to really warrant playing. I want it to be great but it is just not enjoyable in its current state. (Please buff horses, sincerely everyone).

    It feels like Blizzard bent me over again. The story was pretty good. The end game is a waste of time and Nightmare dungeons are lame, boring, and annoying simultaneously. Way too hard to find people to play with now that rooms don't exist. They will fix it I'm sure, but currently, I'd just wait a few seasons.

Blizzard is dead , and they’ve been dead, but officially… **** blizzard for ruining this game and STEALING my money. Blizzard deserves a class action lawsuit over this . Game needs another 3+ years of work before it’s really a finished game . Disgusting money grab . Hope it was worth it blizzard , I will NEVER buy ANYTHING related to blizzard
    Ever again. Disgraceful and I’m so disappointed in myself for believing …. One last time …. That maybe blizzard will get it right. They won’t. They never will. This isn’t the blizzard of 20 years ago . This is a trash company that deserves to be sued for this massive bait and switch. Like selling you a car but without the engine … and you don’t realize because they never let you open the hood…    … Expand

    Game is “supported” by a dev team that doesn’t support its casual OR hardcore gaming community. Latest pre season 1 patch made a slow game with minimal end game content and annoying QOL an even slower game with no additions to end game or better QOL. At least some decent titles from other studios will be released soon to take its place

Now with season 1 my progress didnt transfer over to the seasonal character because blizzard programmers decided to put in trash mechanics where you have to log in with a character to have your progress transfer over (Wtf). Cant do that with a dead character so it seems i have to grind all altars and renown all over again. Game is trash, endgame is trash, season 1 is trash and battlepass is trash.

    I'm done. Uninstalled and not coming back for season 1. I cannot keep hoping for these idiots, who are directing the game, to wake the **** up. I mean the game is getting worse and worse, when there is a TON of feedback on the game from players everywhere you look, but instead they make the game harder, so you have to spend more time in this **** that they call a game.

    At the end of the day, games are supposed to be FUN and in the current state of the game, Diablo IV is NOT a fun game to play. I hope there is more people who stop playing the game, just so Blizzard get a wake up call and start implementing things that people are actually asking for.

    You CAN'T even buy a premium battle pass if you purchased the 100$ version that came with an accelerated battle pass because the game FORCES you to use it, even though Blizzard explicitly said you can save it for later seasons!

    Sure you can, but if you do you CAN'T get the premium battle pass because the game forces you to use the accelerated battle past first!

    The 1.1.0 patch completely gutted the game, and it was so widely hated they had to do an emergency livestream the following friday just to try and quell the backlash.

    This has been ONE of the BIGGEST flops i've ever seen, honestly.
    I don't know how they dropped the ball this hard, how they're so out of touch with their community.

    There's a fair bit to like about Diablo IV — best-in-class sound design, intriguing character classes, fantastic graphics and occasionally addictive gameplay all feel like the series in its prime. However, even the best parts are let down by an undercurrent of frustrating design choices: the cynical inclusion of a Battle Pass, a bloated open world, repetitive mission structure and progression that too often feels meaningless cast a long shadow that let the latest Diablo title down. Future Seasons may refine what's here, but many of its issues sadly feel baked into the core experience. All but the most die-hard fans may wish to wait for a substantial sale on this one.

    The visuals are probably what excited me the most. The way the game looks and the atmosphere makes me feel like I'm playing the old Diablo again. On steroids and on a quadruple screen TV, but the feeling is still there. [Issue#328]

    Diablo is back, and taking no prisoners. The top-quality, lengthy campaign will be enough for some, while the endgame should prove a welcome obsession for others. [Issue#30, p.84]
