This game has made me a gamer again, thank you Blizz for making a masterpiece. Enjoying this game so much as a noob druid at level 47!
Agree that this is their best diablo game thou a lot of people are stuck in the past and would disagree. Loved all diablo games but this is blizards chance to make sanctuary alive. In my opinion game has a lot of work to live up to its true potential and go beyond the hype phase. The problem is that in game like this burnout syndrom hits fast when you focus only on pve and most of the pve content drought is remedied by good pvp modes. They will need to work on good pvp modes to make people stay longer between seasons. Most of live service do that to not loose people to other games.
I agree, it is best Diablo in the whole series. Campaign is very long , lot of side quests, dungeons, all yummy.
One aspect need more polishing is more social interactions between players maybe.
And i hope for big expansions, at least 3 .
Then again, some of us dont want pvp, and find the whole idea of pvp in diablo just wrong, in a series that is all about pve.
I am part of the D3 generation, never played d1 or d2 as they felt way to odd, D3 hooked me hard for the better part of 2-3 years and that was whitout doing seasons a single time. (i attempted them a few times, but quit fast)
So, is D4 better then D3, personal oppinion no. But then again so mutch is new in D4 that it is going to take along time to get used to it. Who knows how it will be in 12 month. D3 pre RoS was apparently not in a good place either.
Apart from the big lack of design variation in dungeons, right now i like what i see with D4. (just add a bloody 24h clock blizz…)
Best Diablo in the saga! I played all of them 1 and 2 couple of years after its realse, but 3 and 4 from the beginnigin.
Diablo 1 was so innovative, different from the games in those times
Diablo 2 blowed my mind, it was so much better, so much enjoyable.
Diablo 3 started with the wrong foot, it was actually some downgrade from the predecesor, not that i didnt like it at all, but it was different in the wrong way. Lucky for us, they did fixed it and made a better Diablo 3 with the time.
Diablo 4 just released 1 week ago, for some and 5 days for others, and it is blowing minds all over, it may need some fixes, but not like Diablo 3 needed it. Good story, nice ambient, nice music, some classes might be a bit better for now, but there is so much for it to come, and it already started with the right foot.
nah that honor goes to Diablo 2 /Diablo 2 Ressurected
Novelty Diablo 4 will be dead in one month, the only good things are the world map, horse and pvp. Items and monster are crap, social and trading is non-existent.
Blizzard had an easy win if they did more Diablo 2 than Diablo 3 in this game. Rip.
D2 is the greatest Diablo game, always will be. But D4 definitely has potential to live up to expectations. It’s an amazing game, but an amazing unfinished game.
Items are cool, room for improvement for sure but the potential is there. D2 and D3 were weak in this area when they launched too. That isn’t an excuse for D4 but I think while D4 is overly complex in the gearing, it has a lot more potential. It will be amazing in a year, if they improve it.
Monsters - Again I think there is some good in here, they are poorly balanced though and the crowd control + on death effect is massively overdone with some mechanics being so fast that instead of playing the game, you just gear up more and face tank it… It’s fixable, but it is bad right now.
Trading - They messed up, not only can you not trade legendaries but Rare item trading is also broken. If you have one item drop at level50 and it’s sacred lvl690 it will be lvl50 required, if the exact same 690 sacred item drops at level 90 it will have a level 90 requirement, meaning high level players can’t trade rares they got to lower level players because even tho the power is the same, the level requirement is higher.
Blizzard completely killed trading gear to friends/alts with that lvl requirement change.
I guess that is a dilemma B faced.
Tune game towards D2, appeal to the old fans of D2, but push away the D3 fans.
Tune the game towards D3, appeal to the current fans of D3, but push away D2 fans.
So they attempted to find a common ground, mixing D2 and D3, and this is the result.
Only played D3 before and D2R
But never really got into those games.
D3 got really boring in endgame for me.
In D4 it only got more fun so far the further Ive got.
Helltides are so much fun.
Let see…The campaign is great, the whole atmosphere and the campaign itself was wonderful.
But that’s about it haha. Everything else is ill-conceived, the drop system is made to give yourself more time to introduce the season?
The classes are not well thought out, there were a lot of exploits at the start that many people knew about (mainly people who had a journalistic “pass” and could play a month earlier than the rest). They knew about the exploits, did not report it, and thus used it at the start (no consequences were even drawn against those people who actually shared this information with a small group - The “race” for the nick on the statue has not even been stopped or moved.).
All in all, I think D3 itself was more reliable, because currently D4 doesn’t offer anything worthy of keeping a player. 1 end game focuses on making seals (nightmares) and word bosses. Seals are stupid :D, with horribly heavy affixes that increase the difficulty, there are no specific and satisfying rewards to match (I have done 30, 9 range, I can’t esc from wt3 because I have weak items ;x). So you toil in them to get an item that flies even from elites or events found on the map. And the progression of the character, unfortunately, depends on the items and you can feel it. With each higher lvl of the character, the power of the monsters increases, and ours decreases. Upgrading a character is terrible, because if you don’t manage to drop items to your level, mobs hit harder with lvl, and thus your armor value loses “value” (also they def go up, so we hit them for less…). Word bos, I have a bug (which I reported) where sometimes it shows and gets notifications on the map that something is going on, and sometimes it doesn’t and I check the page where people report what is currently happening … And once every 6 hours word boss, it’s a pity talk. Especially when someone is working, all you have to do is have a bug and you won’t get a notification and you can go to sleep…
@edit
Also max 4 stash is show, how hard it is to give more space for players… It’s not like you dont need space for aspects, or items for another char… Or to collect nightmare glifts xD… In PoE, Laste Epoch you can have tones of stashes… And here 4 stash max WT…???
worst story
neyrelle is Leah 2.0 who ruin every single good dark vibe once she start talking
typical disney marvel mary sue
You mean Immortal, right? HA! Just kidding, 3 was beast, we’ll see how 4 progresses though. The graphics are far better than I expected, all things considered when you’re zoomed out and don’t care about your character but you can still see every detail.
D3 was shiet until RoS.
They just did basically the D1 ending with her.
Some ppl just hate anything female-related lol
I was deathly hooked on D2. It’s a stiff competition for me. The ambiance, the music, the combat everything is pretty awesome for me so far.
Even made a rogue now I’m throwing ninja stars on my alt
great ur enjoying ur self
but saying this is the greatest diablo game ever made is hilarious
by far the worst
we dont talk about diablo immortal
I respect your opinion . For me this is the best one I’ve played along side D2 back in the day.
I think overall the game is definitely great and has a LOT of potential. The world is awesome, I so far like the story, monsters and world design feel properly cool and creepy. The weakest points for me are the lack of build freedom with classes and the forced MMO aspects.
Even Immortal is better than this one.
