Discuss some Diablo. Like how the franchise peaked with 2. 3 probably should've gotten it's second DLC. Diablo Immortal somehow is still alive and serving more as an actual sequel to Diablo 1 than D2 or 3 ever did.
How seasons killed Diablo 4.
How Witch Doctor is forever banished into a hole that Blizzard wants you to forget.

The other day while walking to the store the town theme from act 2 in Diablo 2 came on. Fucking hell I forgot that desert town song was smooth as fuck. At first I didn't even recognize it "what is this India sounding citar shit?"

if it's free you've got nothing to lose for trying it.
the story was very boring.
there's a ton of ubisoft open world time wasting shit.
there's an "end game" loop which is very boring too.
there's no build defining unique items to chase.
there's obscene scaling.
lack of variety.
lack of challenge.

Depends what you want from Diablo 4. If you're just wanting to put some hours in it to experience the story? Then just hold off for a complete edition down the line when all the expansions are out. Currently the main plot is just dragging on and there's still no sense of conclusion anywhere. And then maybe hope they re-add all the seasonal questlines back into the game at some point.

Gameplay wise? You'll find better in the genre else-where.

2 was normalnigger dogshit, the franchise peaked with 1. 1 is more immersive and atmospheric. 2 was nothing more than a prototype for the loot casino bullshit that followed it. Don't bother replying to this post, I don't give a fuck about your opinion.

I thought that was covered under
>there's no build defining unique items to chase.
but yeah. it's the same shit as d3. unlock a set bonus / unique effect you can imprint on anything, suddenly your build goes from 0 damage to 90000000000 damage.

More like 1 should've gotten a proper datadisc.
Also 1 > 2 >>> 4 > 3

There's a lot to lose by trying it. Time and SSD space, both of which could be spent on non-shit games. Think I'll pass. I haven't even finished the D3 story anyway (because that sucked too )

More funny knowing that Blizzard seemingly walked back fat druids and went back to slim Druids for the game.

Diablo 4 is a good game if you appreciate it for what it is
It's a shallow, SHALLOW ARPG that you will get a few days enjoyment out of before it just falls apart and gets old. It's fun for a while, but it has no substance. The build variety is awful, the story is horrible, the progression system is jaw dropping bad and gated almost entirely behind XP because Paragon is so overpowered, there is NO loot, the balance is borked, and the skill tree is just shit. The seasons are fucking embarrassing, POE adds more content, features, and changes in one league than D4 adds in four leagues.
It has a very fun and smooth combat system, arguably the most fun combat of any ARPG at the time of its release, which is what carries the 3-4 days you play it.

Hilariously, D4's singular claim to fame which is the good ARPG combat was almost immediately taken away from them. Path of Exile 2 fucking dumps on D4 in literally every way including the core combat.

DoAblo 4 should have been a Souls-like as they initially intended, there's no reason to have the top-down perspective anymore. The ARPG genre has progressed so far beyond what these archaic games offer, it's so weird to se big companies still pumping out this nostalgiabaiting garbage instead of getting with the times.

D4 did start out as a third-person soulslike, sometime through development they chickened out and made a generic top-down slop. It's sad, they used to be the kings of this genre. Now Fromsoft is king which is for the better I guess.

he's right
poe2's only claim to fame is "a-a-at least it's not Diablo 4! a-and it's free to play (you need 30 eurodollars to play it)"

d1 and d2 are completely different games. theres a reason people only talk of d1 as a curiosity and d2 has probably the biggest active playerbase for a 25 year old game. feeling bad for your smooth brain
