Somehow this really surprises me. I’m not sure if I have seen even a single promotional image (except for the cover image on the battle net launcher) but apparently that speaks more of my internet bubble than the games promotional campaign.
But still, Diablo 3 seemed like a much bigger deal. Can anyone speak about how the hype is compared to Diablo 3?
Diablo 3 was following Diablo 2, so there were very high expectations before that.
Diablo IV, has a shown a good amount, and has mostly very positive reviews. It’s return to the dark and gritty world of Diablo II. There have been couple of demos, and the game looks and plays great, and most diablo fans are very excited.
One issue the game has, is that it’s more of a live service game, so one world, shared by lots of players.
BTW I haven’t seen the after-release reviews by normal people, but it has gotten very good rating.
I think the live service aspect is a bit played up though. You can play the game almost entirely solo, and it seems as though the ‘peristent world’ is more of a mirage than anything else.
Not a big fan of a BP and cash shop in a $70 game though, which is why I haven’t purchased.
Love to see yet again that it doesn’t matter how horrible of a company you are, it literally doesn’t matter, nobody cares, consumerism wins.
This is the weirdly unlearnable realization that’s going to hit third party app reddit users in 6 or so weeks. Because Reddit will just truck along unchanged.
I haven’t played a Blizzard game or touched anything even close to related to Battle Net in years. I did my part. In 30 years Blizzard will still be there, and I’ll have had no impact, but that won’t make me regret a thing. It was just some video games that I’ll have missed out on. I’m already missing out on video games as is, every single person is, and time will only increase the amount. Blizzard isn’t and will never be worth being “the ones” at the top of that mindspace.
Won’t play anything from Blizzard. Support indie games and ethical publishers/developers!
Maybe this is just me being an old man screaming into the wind but Diablo, ironically, feels like its lost its soul.
Isn’t it just Path Of Exile with a different story?
Diablo is a much more approachable game, more casual, more streamlined. It’s much less complicated than PoE
How bad are the microtransactions? I’m debating getting for my steam deck because people claim that it runs well on it.
Also that it’s online only does not seem nice for the steam deck experience.
