    i played diablo 2 for 20 YEARS+ and still play d2R. since diablo 4 release 2 months ago....i have already lost all enjoyment of the game and uninstalled it. constant crashing. lag and rubber banding (since season 1 update) makes it impossible to have smooth sessions without feeling frustrated. the devs are out of touch fools who thought they could serve us a half baked game, WRONG! thei played diablo 2 for 20 YEARS+ and still play d2R. since diablo 4 release 2 months ago....i have already lost all enjoyment of the game and uninstalled it. constant crashing. lag and rubber banding (since season 1 update) makes it impossible to have smooth sessions without feeling frustrated. the devs are out of touch fools who thought they could serve us a half baked game, WRONG! the majority of people that bought d4 were long time fans. you alienated the last generation of gamers that actually gave a crap about blizzard. i hope microsoft absorbs you, fires everybody responsible for d4 and fixes this damn mess you fools call a finished game.

    what you need to fix
    -always online needs to go away. give us offline single player
    -enemy scaling to our level ruins the fun. get rid of it
    -servers are garbage. constant lag and rubber banding
    -make all items tradeable!!!! we need a loot economy! give us a trading post
    -make campaign bosses replayable!!! i want to do andy runs and lilith runs!!!
    long story short diablo 4 is a shiny turd with beautifull graphics hiding a shallow boring game that doesn't deserve to be part of the diablo franchise, diablo 3 was better!

    ps; do NOT buy the ultimate version. 150$ gives you absolutely nothing of true value. save your money and skip diablo 4 altogether until very deep sale. once you beat the campaign and reach lvl 50 the game has nothing else to offer    … Expand

    Worst game ever. I've never seen such a lack of communication between developers and users. It's obvious they've never played a game. The creators of the game enjoy causing discomfort and discomfort to users. They're all sadists.

    Señores, estabamos ante uno de los mejores juegos del año, y digo estabamos, ya que blizzard a decidido ir por el camino erroneo, ni le llega a los talones ante el mejor juego de diablo, es un juego que si le cambias el nombre, da lo mismo, perfectamente podria llamarse " la caida de santuario" ya que es lo que pasara a partir de ahora, una pena no aprobechar bien y decidir pagar transacciones

    The developer are out of touch. I don't know why they think it's fun to make the grinds longer, while nerfing everything else. This is a fail on so many levels. How this got past QA without push back, or how management allowed this to happen, is very questionable. Thanks for making this game hell for me, you should have respected my time more and implemented fixes a lot sooner.

    So I have played this game on both Ethernal and Seasonal Realms to 100 on arguably one of the best classes so far - rogue. I killed Uber Lilith and did high Tier (not 100 yet) but 80+ dungeons. I did all the crafting, helltides, open world, campaign, renown farm and so on that is in the game before forming my opinion.

    Good things about the game: - In-game Music - Graphics/Visuals    So I have played this game on both Ethernal and Seasonal Realms to 100 on arguably one of the best classes so far - rogue. I killed Uber Lilith and did high Tier (not 100 yet) but 80+ dungeons. I did all the crafting, helltides, open world, campaign, renown farm and so on that is in the game before forming my opinion.

    Good things about the game:
    - In-game Music
    - Graphics/Visuals bring a new generation, but others are catching up
    - Number of buttons reduction (i.e. less potions etc.)
    and that is it.

    Bad Things is pretty much everything else. Starting with the most important the dev team is clearly corporate job people who blindly follow policies and metrics with zero novel ideas about the game. That is why they were able to destroy whatever was somewhat OK in the game before Season 1 with the crazy patch coming out. For example D4 is supposed and can work as a fairly casual game with console support where people can enjoy for a few hours a day ... and you go and nerf XP to the ground so that it takes forever to level?! Makes no logical sense. Now they backtracking with monster density improvements and etc., which will probably bring a whole other set of issues on the technical front.

    In any case looking at the core loop gameplay before the patch there was a bit more variety with the Helltide and we all had to do the Campaign, renown etc. Now it is literally Just Nightmare dungeons (same 6-8 ones as the others are horrible) on repeat. Why kill Helltide with the patch again -> makes no sense as game lacks content anyhow?

    Still, even if the game boils down to just repeating the same NM dungeons over and over a hardcore ARPG player like me can handle that. However, something destroys the fun out of this completely --- itemization and loot. Remember this game has super limited stash space where you actually have a very hard time playing with more than 2 different characters (as most stash is shared). But that aside there is an extraordinary amount of useless loot dropping that you have to vendor. However, since there is no loot filter one actually has to read through all of it and check the affixes to make sure it is in fact trash. So after EVERY dungeon, you spend about the same amount or half of it (if you are fast) reading and vendoring. And you have to be selective as remember ... the stash space. This just destroys all flow and fun of the game to the point where stuff drops and I'm not wondering if its something cool, but weather or not it is worth picking it up and reading with the super high chance it will be trash to vendor. Personally that is the main reason I also quit the game and rate it as 0/10 given that 30-50% of my gametime is devoted not to slaying monsters and playing the game, but inventory, stash and item management. Furthermore, what the devs did making ALL other content irrelevant with that patch including outside world and world bosses and helltides just shows me that they have zero idea about the direction and improvement of the game so I'm really not at all positive for the future.

    Lastly a score is also related to what the competition is offering and PoE plus Last Epoch and others are just delivering. With PoE 2 comming maybe next year and developments such as when you disconnect you come back in the same world state before, compared to Blizz devs not capable to provide a loot filter just gives me no confidence in the future of this game. Of course this is a personal opinion, but fun is really NOT the name of the game for Diablo 4 currently and in the foreseeable future.    … Expand

    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.
    Oh yes, we will also change the balance in each patch.
    It's not an AAA game, it's a beta test for 70 bucks.
    All I can say is "Blizzard, play this **** yourself" :)

I can't even begin to describe how horrid the targeting system is for console, at this point we know the game was not designed for console play nor with console players even kept in mind. They simply marketed to console to deceive us into believing we would have a decent gaming experience and that was the one thing we never got. Shame on Blizzard and Activision for creating such a mindless blunder and atrocious example of what we thought would be a continuation of the classic Diablo franchise. We're nothing but beta testers to this new pump and dump style of game developers to maximize profit and minimize cost, function and overall satisfaction. This game should never have made it past beta and we deserve refunds. A lawsuit is probably our only way to recovering our losses.… Expand

Slow paced combat, long animation locks, waiting for cooldowns before engaging, the extreme amount of CC received and the boss fights being nothing more than an eye-candy.

    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]
