Doesn't feel like an upgrade outside visuals, which is even debatable

Best Diablo game by a lot. Only nostalgia-blind fanboys could possibly prefer 2 or 3.

I'm almost through the veteran difficulty story and a lot of the time I just wish I was playing PoE instead. I haven't played that in years, but I'll probably pick it up again soon

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

Not even close. It has the bones of a great game, but there are still a ton of issues with it. Latency issues, riding your horse is a struggle at times as your always getting stuck in the environment or blocked by a fence, or randomly dismounting and suffering a 25 second mount timer. Not to mention, and I can't believe I'm saying this, there are far too many dungeons for the amount of bosses. They could have easily done a solid 60 dungeons, with 30 bosses; but instead there are close to 150 dungeons with only 15 bosses recurring.

To me its just big for the sake of being big. It will get better as they head towards Blizzcon in November, but right now they have at the very least to deal with technical issues, the only real solution is turning off cross-play which makes some multi-person events near unbeatable, as there aren't enough people on the realm to participate in them.

Does Diablo play differently on consoles than PC? Like, instead of pointing a clicking on enemies, do I have an attack button so it's more like an isometric hack n' slash?

  • The story kinda sucks and the way its told really sucks.
For comparison, D3 had dialogue issues but the story largely didn't interfere with gameplay. The fight between heaven and hell and Malthiel's story were pretty cool. The cutscenes were big moments, the VA'd scenes were generally integral to your understanding, incidental dialogue was told as you fought off hordes of demons and told through gameplay. D4, by contrast, constantly stops gameplay to tell you nothing important.
  • D3 was too saturated, so D4 looks super washed out.
There are only two colors in the game, red and blue. Everything else is shades of red and blue. Fog and rain effects constantly wash out scenes. There's very rarely any brightness even when the Sun should be shining. A few places are yellow/brown, but almost every area only contains maximum 2 colors. Look at any screenshot or stream and count how many distinct colors there are.
  • Builds have less variation than D3 and worse balance than D2.
Explaining this would require going in depth into D3, but the balance issue is pretty readily apparent.

What a fucking waste of money. I wouldn't even spend a 100CENTS on it.

Oh look a fucking shit multiplayer only game. So er just what are you going to do when the player base starts dropping off? You will be left with a $100 coaster.

I'm playing Titan Quest again right now. Smacking weaker enemies send them flying which is always satisfying.
Does D4 have crazy physics like that? Cousin's been trying to get to support Blizzard with this product.

It's fun to play and looks great. But as witih D3 which is actually pretty fun after all the updates it got, specially after RoS, D4 will become better with time.

D2's real strength is how much you can interact with the community via trades, PvP, and runs. D4 might as well be a single player game.
