Just don't care about the game anymore. Baldur's Gate 3 arriving has already cleansed my palate of D4. Not going to finish D4's story and I'm for sure not starting season 1 when it is just a battle pass completion grind.

100%. Got bored after 15 hours playing as a rogue. Better games coming soon

JeffGUNZ324d ago

Agreed. I was hoping they'd get away from resetting characters every season. The map and world is too big to explore it and then just to basically lose everything killed it for me.

Christopher325d ago

The only thing this prevented was faster leveling with others it seems. With the FOMO hunt for unique gear they are going to implement, they really shouldn't be preventing people from leveling up to 60 quickly with new characters, especially seeing as they'll have to restart all new characters with the season and accomplish heart-specific tasks.

More and more I feel that if Blizzard wanted a PoE approach they should have done that. It seems weird trying to mix their old style of games with that model. They also should have diversified how skills work together rather than the very strict crit, dot, cc, tank models they've created.

Hold down attack, The Game. So glad I didn’t get caught up in the hype of this game, Diablo, while great, hasn’t changed much and like many releases these days, better waiting until game is patched, fully featured, and on sale.

Review bombing doesn't work...

-Foxtrot325d ago

It's crazy gamers don't realise how strong they are when fighting something together...

FinalFantasyFanatic324d ago

If something gets review bombed, I'm at least going to look at the reviews/comments and find out whether it was justified and If it's a good idea to buy the game, there's also the possibility that the developers might actually fix the issues too.

All you needed to do was put yourself in the player's shoes. I don't know how in the holy hell y'all thought these decisions were good.

I feel like game devs are getting far more detached and out of touch with gaming and what gamers want. There's no other way I can justify a lot of these decisions being made. You had something good, you had people having fun with it, and your immediate reaction is to take that away? Why, to make the game less fun!?

Please, can someone explain to me the rationale behind this?

Consumers are wallets. Your goal is to squeeze as much money out of the wallets with the least amount of effort. Wallets are not individuals you respect, they are carriers of money only.

Why these games today are mostly 'meh'. Nowadays I can smell most of them a mile away

staticall324d ago

@CrimsonWing69
Probably their management sees that their KPIs are lower than expected so they're "trying" to "fix" this. Like in that meme, «Boardroom Meeting»

Manager: People, our engagement metrics are lower than expected, what can we do?!
Dev 1: Nerf the classes!
Dev 2: Make levelups slower!
Dev 3: Add new meaningful content (zones and items) that will not reset after 3 months?
* Manager angrily stares at Dev 3, then throws him out of window *
Manager: We're going with both Dev 1 and Dev 2. Make it ASAP! Shareholders and Bobby will love this!

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_looken7d 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.

Daeloki6d 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.

Is Diablo IV worth it for the Single-Player experience today? I understand it has got many patches and improvements.

Daeloki19d ago

I honestly don't know what they could have changed/patched to make the game enjoyable since last summer. I played the campaign a bit past act 1 with a friend and it just becomes incredibly boring and repetitive. I uninstalled shortly after and haven't looked back. However, with me it may just be a case of that it's not my kind of game. I just didn't enjoy the endless cycle of going into a dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle, teleport back to dungeon, collect loot, teleport to town, sell/dismantle... rinse and repeat. That cycle was about 80% of the game back then, completely drowning out the story for me. If there is a demo, or you have a chance to test a friends copy then I'd recommend that before spending any money on it.

I loved D3 and would play a season for weeks.
D4 came out I reached level 60 ish and grew bored, I tried again in S1 and got to the same level and quit. I heard about the loot revamp, and briefly tried season 3 before jumping into the new season.
The game is better because it's easier to feel this progression smoothly increase, without hitting such a large road block, but I am level 61 and in Torment 4, and again I just don't feel the urge to continue.

I found a lack of direction of what to do, the thing that puts me off is the bland world, hell-tides are rather boring. Kill a non stop spawn of demons and summon a boss...

If you can get it for cheap, give it a try, or do a Gamepass trial and play it there.
