Diablo 4’s multiplayer is where the real game begins

Cat Bussell - "Despite its name, Diablo 4’s open world of Sanctuary is a scary place. Monsters and brigands lurk around every corner and, though you can venture out alone, it often feels far safer to have a buddy by your side. I certainly found this during my own multiplayer forays.

Since I was playing the willowy-looking Rogue, I felt especially comforted by the 7-foot-tall slab of muscle and armor that accompanied me. My friend and I made an unlikely duo as we roamed the wastes of Diablo 4's disquieting yet artistically stunning overworld."

I don't like Multiplayer in my Diablo. Is the IV campaign better or on par with the 1st and 2nd? If it is, I will buy this. Am about pull the trigger, but really just want to do a single player offline type (I know it's always online) of playthrough and leave it there. Not interested in endgame, I want the story and that's it. IF the game is superb, then I may want to play it again aka New Game+ with the same character if the 2nd playthrough has extras added and the loot keeps being fresh.

What say you! Help me make the decision N4G peeps! :)

I’m thoroughly enjoying it anyway. Couldn’t put it down yesterday, must’ve played about 6-7 hours, unheard of for me these days 😅

LordoftheCritics369d ago

MP is great if you can survive the worst rubber banding in gaming history.

Elda369d ago

I'm enjoying it so far. If you like Diablo 3 then you should have no problem with 4.

Tapani369d ago

I really didn't like Diablo 3, but I loved the first two.

Viljong369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

Yes its the best diablo campaign and game.(diablo 2 was the best until d4)Start with world tier 2 its really challenging or you can choose casual starting difficulty. Soloed the druid class quest yesterday, wasnt easy! Need serious kiting it was grp quest but doable solo. The quest for spirit boons. Im just level 25 but there is much to do and the game aint easy. You need to evade, kite and use all survivality tricks atleast with toxic claw druid. I dont care about multiplayet either and hope its not needed sometimes people follow you when you do world quest and team up up with you and thats pretty fun. It certainly have dark d2 vibes not wow like diablo 3. Even music is similar to d2.

Tapani369d ago

Hmm, this sounds promising. I really disliked Diablo 3 as they went to the completely wrong direction. DII Resurrection and DIV caught my attention, though. Maybe I'll try it out then! Frikkin expensive game as well.

victorMaje368d ago

I haven’t bought it yet but it seems story is better & deeper in this one as well as being closer to D2 in atmosphere. Check out SkillUp’s review on YT, it might help.

HyperMoused368d ago

If you liked the other Diablos id say you will like this, with the online bit i dont stop and talk to anyone or anything like that, occasionally you will see other players out in the field but if anything it helps with an encounter or whatnot and evryone moves on.

sagapo369d ago

The only thing I’m not a fan of is the level scaling.

sealava369d ago

and for me multiplayer is where the game ends.
had enough of multiplayer in other games ,just wana enjoy my game, have fun and relax.
no more hamsters wheel for me blizzard, thanks.

Si-Fly368d ago

You can absolutely enjoy this game solo though 🤷🏼‍♂️ That’s how I’m playing it.

shammgod368d ago

People want to always blow thru dungeons and content not giving you any time to read dialogue or anything else. That’s why I fly solo.

BlackDoomAx369d ago

Can't wait for my buddy to join me tonight. Solo is cool and all, but coop is the shit :)

This game is about to get buried by Path 2.

LordoftheCritics8d ago

Still no global chat or group finder.

The emptiest MP game ever made.

OtterX8d ago

1 more month then I can celebrate 1 year since i stopped playing and uninstalled the game.

Walalon8d ago

We are on the same team brother!

Rynxie8d ago

I uninstalled d4 after they kept screwing over the sorc build and I beat the game. I also uninstalled immortal after reading the end. I actually went back to d2r here and there.

just_looken8d ago

The only thing i enjoyed in D4 was the mp side but after they gutted my hunter build then again wanted me to grind for over hundred hours each season i too quit like you.

Its insane though a year has already passed.

Daeloki7d ago

Hard pass, gave it a chance on launch with a friend, but we made it a bit past act 1 only to realise how tedious it was.
