On October 17, the might of the Burning Hells unleashes on a new stage—Steam. Learn how you can slay demons on this new platform.
Not worth it regardless of the platform. I loved the Diablo games and this game was the end of that love.
You know I really wanted to love it.
I loved Diablo.
I loved Diablo 2
Diablo 3 was sometimes amazing
I haven’t picked up 4 since I played an hour of the battle pass.
They ought to reimagine the game as the rogue like it was.
I want to be a warrior with fire bolt again, let me find book shelves too!
As a person who bought it at $70 because the demo was really really good, yep.
Id recommend buying it for $20. Or waiting for all the content drops. Diablo 3 only got good with the expansion.
Diablo 3 got good much earlier.
The release of the console version was what spured them to make the game better it was highly praised so they imported all of those features to the PC version.
Every class having movement abilities, change in the difficulty format and Loot 2.0.
Right now, Diablo 4 is much better than Diablo 3 was on release. It just lacks an endgame.
It lacks so many more things than just endgame.
You comparing D4 to D3 at launch is just ridiculous. That's the standard you have? For it to be better than D3 launch? I've seen flash games better than D3 at launch. It's not exactly an achievement.
Except it needed to be literally perfect for me to give Blizzard Activision another cent.
I finished the story, quite liked it, thought it was great.
But THEN I join you where it just died and got so boring after. I had no problem "grinding" in D3, so what's different? They somehow managed to make the core of the core game not worth doing.
You could accomplish something in a 20 minute session of D3. You could get a rift done, maybe two, get enough stuff to upgrade something or find a better piece of equipment. You can’t get anything worthwhile done in D4 with only 20 minutes.
Yeah and Diablo III came out 10 years ago. There's no excuse for Diablo IV.
Diablo III was (and still is) dumb mindless fun, it's perfect at what it offers. Diablo IV is just boring, with a cash shop and paid seasons on top of it. Like oh sure, I'd love to pay to get a super nice transmog that nobody except me will ever see since the game is super dead.
Diablo 3 was a dumpster fire. D3 players have almost completely dropped off as people either play D4 or D2R.
Oh it definitely was a dumpster fire while the auction house existed. No doubt about it. But if you try it today, it's a nice over-the-top ARPG.
D3 players have almost completely dropped off as people either play D4 or D2R.
I'm not talking about popularity here, I'm talking about fun. The popularity of a solo game absolutely doesn't matter.
I feel like they're on the right path with uniques and legendaries in D4. Sets in D3 provided huge bonuses and took up most slots, diminishing build variety.
I ultimately refunded D4 but I suspect I will pick it up again in the future on sale and when they game has improved quite a bit.
Yea d3 is on top of most hours.
I did play d3 on the first few weeks when it came out and downed Diablo pre nerf. I remember not liking the grind but that was when only DH could effectively farm, I built a full tank barb with life steal and heals
