    Charged $. Let me make something, had fun. Blizzard patched it. Rendered all that I did completely useless. Not starting over. Joke of a game, should be a class action lawsuit for what blizzard pulled.

    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.
    The customer should get the product the he wants, not be shoved a mouthfull of horse*hit that they think you deserve.

    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).

    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

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

    But in a very un-Diablo move you no longer can go back and re-fight the same bosses you faced in the campaign. Instead the end game is a nightmarish slog through the same bland dungeons or open world gather/kill tasks over and over and over to the point that there is no point.

Also as of the time of this writing, no theory crafter has yet to be able to figure out how resistance works. You can get something that says +50% to lightening resist and when you equip it, your lightening resist goes from ~40% -> ~43%.

    Its generally accepted that the sorcerer is in the worst state compared to any other class from all patch versions of all Diablo games one though four. The community was very excited because of a major patch coming out which we were hopeful would fix so many of these day 1 issues and to make the sorcerer more viable.

    To say this patch was tone-def would be an understatement. It fixed 0 day 1 issues, the side quests that i couldn't complete due to bugs, were stlll uncompleteable and bugged. It nerfed all classes, nerfed XP gains, and took the 3 most important stats for sorcerer, Vulnerable damage, Cooldown reduction, and Crit and nerfed them to the ground.

    I waited for Season 1 to give this game proper feedback, and my intention was to give it a solid 8/10, but in light of recent changes introduced by the game developers, I changed my mind. A 3/10 is the best I can do.

A 3/10 is the best I can do. 

    Slaughtering hellish legions is fun to the point where you ask yourself "What else is there for me?". Endgame is lacking, but it's normal for a game that has been just released, so people were waiting for new content that was promised by Blizzard. 

    Instead, we got the 1.1 patch that butchered the game for many. 

    The problem is this patch has taken lots of things from the players that made the game fun for them, and given nothing substantial in return. You could have spent a hundred hours building your character to work the way you want using the rules available, and now it's pretty much useless and requires a grand rebuild (respec that cost in-game resources, as well as looting new items). It's not that the game enabled new, better builds you may want to consider - your current character got nerfed to the ground not allowing you to enjoy the content you were enjoying just a day before. One day you log in, play, and have fun, the next you get slaughtered by a random white mob out of nowhere and you don't know what's happening. An awful experience for casual players and not a pleasant one for pros either. 

    What is worse, some classes' design is simply broken. Looking at the Sorc class, there are basically no significant choices you can make, and the only viable playstyle for endgame activities is "Stun-Kill / if doesn't work run around until the next stun is available". It seems Blizz wanted to address this as well, but instead, they've just nerfed this type of build to the ground while offering no alternatives and making the Sorcerer class significantly weaker than all other classes... just two days before the season starts and people were making plans to go for this class. 

    At the same time, none of the quality of life issues people were asking for even before the release were addressed. Stash is a mess, the game is basically a garbage management system where you drop 30 items and spend time thinking if any of them are worth keeping, because if you don't you will run out of storage space really quickly. For a game that was in design for 10 years not being able to provide a solution some games had 10 years ago is scandalous. 

    It seems as if there was a team working on matching digits in Excel who never actually experienced the game and had no idea what they were doing. There seems to be no real plan for how the game should be balanced, and since the release they've been just changing the numbers chaotically in the hope it will somehow get better. Instead of fixing the core of these issues, they just keep adding or subtracting digits. 

    And while I understand they may still address this, these were to be addressed BEFORE the game launch. It doesn't require a degree in rocket science to understand how the game you're designing works, and if you learn it after the game is released and decide to take away what makes the game fun for people, you have to also accept the consequences with the review of your game dropping significantly and players moving away (aka not spending money on your "live service" anymore). 
    Additionally, this is the first Diablo game that took away the option to play single-player from people, which is an absolute nightmare and causes tons of problems.    … Expand

It's made the good things worse than they were and done little to address the bad things. As it stands I wouldn't recommend anyone getting the game. The cost is too high in comparison to the content. The updates are aimed more at causing players to spend more time playing for less rewards than they are at improving upon the player experience. Issues in particular:

    Quests still bugged from launch. Helltide costs increased. Helltide cinders drastically reduced. XP reduced massively. Tier 3 and 4 are both now level gated. Rewards reduced in every area. Group content has been devalued. No group finder. No stash tabs. Not enough inventory space. Resistances don't work and haven't been fixed. Player damage nerfed. Player defense nerfed. I'm sure I'm probably missing stuff. As it stands this feels more like an open beta with the developers scrambling to try and fix what they can to meet deadlines that the game will never be ready for.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Blizz had a good game, then it ruined season 1 with patch 1.1.1.1 and lost me as a player.

    The game was playable before the patch, and mostly fun, although fans asked on forums for many things to be improved.

    These include more unique variety that enable more build options

    Better drop rates for unique

    Better storage management Better mounts

    Buffs to certain aspects other than critical dmg to enable us to attack in more ways than just relying on crit and vulnerable , because all other mechanics were extremely underpowered.

    Instead blizzard devs fixed none of the complaints, and just straight up ruined the two stats that made this game playable, crit and vulnerable.

    Sorc is now DOA

    Necro and is no better

    And the rest of the classes aren't getting any favors from the unnecessary nerf either.

    So unless these changes get reversed and blizzard actually starts to improve the game rather than ruin it, I will not be playing diablo 4 at its current state.

Blizzard has dropped some bad games on us before but at least they were some what fun. The biggest thing in an ARPG for me is the loot. In D4 you get the same loot from level 1-100. Putting “sacred” in the name of the gear is truly an illusion that you are getting different gear. Its all the same except the stats can roll a little bit higher. The campaign was not the greatest imo. Most of the quests were annoying especially the desert escort quest that we all know we hated lol. The opening cut scene got me hyped for the story but it was definitely boring for a story about good vs evil. Skills in the game are okay, they could add more things to modify skills in different ways which D3 I think did a good job of. You could completely change how skills worked/interacted in D3 and it made the skills less stale, should have done that for D4 as well. Monster level scaling needs to go from any game ever. It ruins the feeling of leveling up and at that point why even have levels in the game to begin with? The skill tree could not have been done in a more boring way. There is very little choice and you just end up choosing the few passives that actually work with your skill of choice instead of making any decisions about what would work best for you. Sorc class is criminal for this. Blizzard has some how made legendaries feel bad when they drop, basically a glorified rare item with aspects that dont change how you play your character in the slightest. I didnt mind the stash tabs they had given us but hearing that they messed up so badly on loading everyones stash tabs is just so crazy, id expect that from maybe an indie dev but even then wtf???? The devs are also obsessed with this thing called “balance.” I truly think trying to achieve balance in a pve game is asinine. No one is going to remember a balanced game because then everything is just going to feel the same and not as fun. You dont remember cool items or skills from D2 because they were balanced… Last thing, the open world may be one of the worst decisions they could have made for a diablo game. It ruined the formula and now there is no formula in D4 you basically run around any where like a mindless drone because every thing scales and feels the same no matter where you go in the world. Not to mention the world itself is super super bland. Theres not one cool or fun or even different area in the game. This is the type of game I would expect from a small dev studio making their first ARPG ever. Instead this is what we got from the billion dollar company that has made 4 diablo games and have 20+ years in the ARPG market. Not to mention a Diablo game that doesnt even have DIABLO in it. Game probably would have been better received if they called it Litllith or any thing else. Dont play this game unless you LOVE being bored.… Expand

    If you are looking for an aRPG where you feel powerful, with amazing gear and loot, rewards for your long grinding and an amazing and exciting end-game, do NOT buy Diablo 4.

The affix system means there are so many stats and    If you are looking for an aRPG where you feel powerful, with amazing gear and loot, rewards for your long grinding and an amazing and exciting end-game, do NOT buy Diablo 4.

    Specific problems with this game:

    1. Gear. You will get so much gear. 99.99 of it will be useless. You will go 10 or more levels without finding anything better. The affix system means there are so many stats and the chances of getting anything to match your build is very low. After level 85 (or even before), there is no better gear and therefore no reason for most players to keep grinding as there is no reward.

    2. You will constantly be the underdog. Just as you start to feel powerful you will move up a world tier or more nightmare dungeon levels and wondered what happened.

    3. Crowd control. You will, especially in the end game, be constantly stun locked, frozen, dazed, knocked down and poisoned. Poison damage in this game if OFF THE SCALE. Most builds have 1 skill with one use to get out of this and it has a cooldown.

    4. Boring. The end game, and, indeed, the entire game is simply boring. You will do the same dungeons and events over, and over, and over and over again for little or no reward. All of the dungeons in the game are based on 8 or so styles, all have very similar layouts and all have almost identical sections and goals.

    5. Forgetful enemies. Every single enemy type in this game, right up from a lowly hedgehog to the biggest elite enemy of any type can have the same attacks, spew fireballs, throw poison, teleport, cold, etc. They all blend into a sense of sameness.

    6. The horse is terrible, with bad cool downs and it gets stuck everywhere. You can actually run faster with some builds.

    7. Combat is a mess of colourful explosions and crowd control effects and a screenful of enemies. Somewhere in there is you, it's like find wally. You will struggle to see the worst attacks coming because there is so much crap on screen.

    8. Combat is boring. Almost all builds are simply attack with basic skill, build up resource, attack with core skill and use other skills as and when cooldowns are over. Most of the time with my druid I just stand still holding core skill down until everything dies, popping the occasional cooldown skill. That's it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Diablo 4 is like Diablo 3, but without the fun. I stopped playing around 20-30 hours in.

    On the positive side. The graphics are way better and the cut scenes are excellent.

    On the negative side, here were my issues:

    1. The world is boring. Visually, and as an experience it's just endless identical dreary landscapes and dungeons. Diablo 3 had so much more variety in places, like the levels when you are in a besieged castle, in Heaven, and so on.

    2. The campaign is boring. It is mostly chasing the bad guy from one place to the next, finding out she already left and you need to go somewhere else. When you add the fact that all those places are visually boring... it feels like you are waiting for something to happen. Again compared to the story in D3 which was epic. I mean, you got to heaven and it was being invaded by hell.

    3. They took out the thing I really like about Diablo 3- finding that one piece of gear that makes your build work and increases your damage exponentially. That was glorious, and it allowed you to do things like farming and speed runs. D4 doesn't seem to have things that make this difference, and the enemies scale with you so you are getting gear just to keep up. Overall it makes combat slow and grindy.

    Overall, the game feels monotonous, dreary and a huge grind.

    I know everyone is complaining about the season pass thing and the patch. I don't care about the season pass and I stopped playing before the patch. But from what I understand, they made the game even slower and more grindy. Wow.    … Expand

    Do you have a job? How about second job from Blizzard? Shameless, boring, unpaid

    Have been playing Diablo games since Diablo 1. Played D4 as much as I could stand. Got a character to 100 before season and tried to make it as far as I could into season 1. This is honestly the least fun game I have experienced in this series. Everything exciting about a Diablo game doesn't exist in this iteration. Sad to say I will not be continuing to play this game as it is evidentHave been playing Diablo games since Diablo 1. Played D4 as much as I could stand.

Everything exciting about a Diablo game doesn't exist in this iteration. Sad to say I will not be continuing to play this game as it is evident that the production/dev team are out of touch from the player base and do not care about creating a fun experience. This is the price a player pays when all that is cared about is the money to be had from a battle pass on fresh season launches.… Expand

    I’m baffled by this game. I’ve got about 150 hrs of playtime. It was a blast playing through the campaign. Then endgame grinding started around level 50, and really slowed down around 70. I started to get bored around level 85 since everything was so slow to level up. After about 3 weeks, they release a patch that boosts experience for nightmare dungeons and other endgame activities.

I can actually see my xp bar move now. They buff and tweak a bunch of things. So far so good.

    Fast forward to day before S1. Global xp nerf. Global defense nerf. Global damage nerf. What?! Prior to this patch, my level 100 rogue was clearing Tier 50-55 nightmare dungeons easily. I could push to 60, but that was sketchy and I died a lot. Post patch I try the lowest tier NM I have on hand: 51. I die 4x and am kicked out of the dungeon within 3 minutes. Wow. I crafted and tried a 45 next. Died twice and barely made it through. I don’t get it. I’m not pushing tier 100 and crushing it easily. I haven’t even killed Uber Lilith yet. Sure, I play 20-25 hrs a week, but I’m by no means elite. I only have a single 100 character. The game became objectively less fun. For what?

    I speculate that the team that worked on Season 1 realized their content wasn’t well balanced and wouldn’t keep players engaged for 3 months, and instead of addressing the issues in the season, they simply slowed down the game and made it harder. Meh.    … Expand

    Blizzard don’t listen community. No end game, no improvement, just massive nerf to hide this game has no content.

    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]
