    They killed the game before season 1, nice. Took away everything we've built on our characters, why waste time regearing when they'll probably do it again.

    The developer has a very bad patches attitude. There is no added end game content, only reduced the fun of playing. NERF Everything danggggggggg

    The game could be better; in fact, it had all the potential to be the best Diablo ever made. However, it's impossible to overlook the fatal flaws that plague the game, such as constant disconnection issues and lag.

However, it's impossible to overlook the fatal flaws that plague the game, such as constant disconnection issues and lag. Moreover, we paid an exorbitant price for the deluxe edition and can barely enjoy what the game has to offer due to the developer's own errors. The endgame content is tedious, slow-paced, and repetitive.

    But what has been most bothersome so far is the patch 1.1.0a released on July 18th. The developer treats us as if we're naive by applying nerfs to all classes, essentially saying, "let's throw away the 200 hours this person has invested in the game." Is it really plausible that a company the size of Blizzard couldn't foresee that characters would become too powerful? This could have easily been observed in testing, where the developers have access to every item, class, and level to evaluate.

    After years of development, the team couldn't predict this outcome?

    The solution would be so simple: creating new difficulty levels for the game, introducing difficulties V, VI, VII... This would be far better than wasting players' invested time in the game, considering that we invest not only our money but also a significant portion of our leisure time in becoming stronger, not weaker, in the game. Over the past few weeks, it's been clear that world bosses have weak damage and ridiculously low health bars. New difficulty levels were necessary, not decreasing the power of characters. This update has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. With over 250 hours in the game, I no longer feel any desire to play after this update.    … Expand

    Patch ruined the game. Really enjoyed it while it lasted. It’s like blizzard rolled out this patch to spite its user-base. The nerfs didn’t even satisfy the goals of the developers to reduce need for things like crit & vulnerable damage. I understand the game needed to provide a bit more of a challenge, but they could have been much more reasonable. For those reasons, I’m out…

    I never played any of the other Diablo games, so I was pretty hyped to discover that 4 was fun during the beta, as I really enjoyed theory crafting my builds (love sprinting through enemies like with Boulderdash from Outriders) so imagine my surprise when I discover I paid $70 to be a glorified beta tester.

Nothing I did mattered, because new content is locked to seasons, and everything got nerfed! Hopefully one of two things happens, they issue refunds to everyone who feels wronged by their decision making, or they revert the 1.1 patch changes. I understand nerfs are needed for the long term health of the game, but what about NOW? It was already a struggle to get through the endgame content without the cookie cutter meta builds, and now you just overall take more damage and do less damage. Personally, I was also pretty upset with the whole "make a new character for the seasons" thing, but I got over it when I realized I could just play different classes. Now my motivation to play has just been sapped completely. Guess it is my fault though, buying this game given the reputation Blizzard has built for themselves. Really just mind boggling to me that they know how their damage formula works and how the game progresses, and they still decided to make these changes. Makes me wonder what their internal comms look like. Do the actual programmers get any input? Do we get any input (lol)? I don't know. What I do know is first impressions matter, and if this is how they operate when bringing new content, I think the negative response from the community is warranted.… Expand

    You can improve the weak parts and power up all enemies at the same time. But why you fook up the player they spent time and energy.

    The bottom line is, the only positive reviews this game got were when it originally came out. The game was great. It had what ever player was expecting.

Fast paced, leveling was great, builds that were decent and being able to clear Nightmare Dungeons quickly. Fast forward 48 hours before the Season 1 release, the game got completely obliterated. It is NOT the same game that came out a month ago. Virtually every class was nerfed hardcore. The only one that seemed to come out semi unscathed was the Rogue. Sorc is obliterated... They focused on stuff that was completely irrelevant. They should have focused on fixing resistances which they have said are clearly broken. The 0 review bomb that it has been getting over the past 24 hours is rightfully deserved. I think I should be entitled to a refund based on such a hardcore bait and switch tactic. I wouldn't be surprised if this opens the door to a class action lawsuit.… Expand

    Budget cuts = More profits. Yes blizz suits fills their pockets while trading off the quality of the product. Totally incompetent people were hired for their dev team. I guess they were the only ones who were willing to work for a low wage, YOU ARE HIRED.
    Crappy game that is not worth its high price.

    Before 1.1 patch the best I could say about the game is it was playable. Had fun up to about level 80, then the endgame grind kicked in and the loot loop was so boring I gave up. Figured this was the game launch which is notoriously a hard thing for Blizz to get right and the Season 1 patch would address at least some of the players concerns and make the game more fun.

    TBH I put too much faith in "you think you do, but you don't" "Don't you guys own phones" modern Blizz. They have continued to sacrifice player fun for profit without realizing the truth that all of the good will for the company was from when they made games that were fun to play. I fell in to this nostalgia trap. Loved D1 bought it the week it came out. Loved D2 drove 200 miles to get a copy on launch day. More or less enjoyed D3, launch was terrible but it at least felt like they were addressing players issues with the game, love the current seasons.

    Basically the way they decided to "fix" their lack of fun endgame content was simply to make it harder to get there in the first place.
    I have seen a lot of people trying to justify the massive nerf to all classes by pointing out that the S1 mechanic will make up for that. . . I would be inclined to agree if this didn't effect the Eternal realm. Seasonal content should be optional not mandatory.    … Expand

    The story was good , after level 50 you have same dungeons to farm just a bit harder , classes are either way to strong or just paper weak , a total disaster from a huge game developer , the game keeps getting changes per week , so you cant focus on a single build

    Classes are not balanced and what they did is pushed them to the ground even more almost unplayable on their so called "End Game".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They have one of the best in-game worlds for any ARPG ever made. They have one of the most incompetent design teams at the helm. The most recent patch (season 1 hasn't even started yet) completely halted player progression and gutted build diversity. They made all gear worse, all builds worse, all defenses worse, all events worse, and all XP gains worse. They nerfed the class that is already at the very bottom of the tier lists to oblivion. They also introduced new aspects and uniques that bring absolutely nothing to the game. Do not waste your time or your money. Trust me, I have wasted both putting my faith in Activision Blizzard.

    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]
