Diablo IV is better than III.
There’s on big flaw with 4, pricing. I would have loved to play but i just can’t spend that much on one game.
Ironically it’s probably the one thing you can hate a game for without playing.
I liked summoning in 3, but in 4 it feels like all the monsters just run straight past my summons to me. It’s like having an incompetent offensive line in American football. I just spend every fight running around avoiding monsters because they’re smarter than my skeletons.
I played Diablo 3. It was extremely boring.
That’s because they shifted from ‘making a great game’ to ‘making a lot of money’ after they saw what the auction market was like in D2.
The love of money is the root of many evils and capitalism will destroy everything you love for profit.
Ha. But I really do feel like that about D3 & D4 - completely irrationally, I know that, but I’ve also never bitched about it. No, wait, the memes do you guys not have phones were pretty funny …
Don’t you dare attack my slot machine
It’s not a slot machine when items have no value because they can’t be traded
Diablo II gang
Diablo 3 (pre-expansion) was built around trading though and it was fucking awful.
Farming Act 1 hoping for something you could sell to somebody else so you could buy that mythical Resist All gear in order to survive Act 2 made me quit in disgust. Drops were completely random, could be for any class and 90% of what dropped was no good for anyone.
That’s what I LOVED about it! I know it’s a super unpopular opinion, but it felt so much more rewarding to find something halfway decent. Like it did in Diablo II.
Post-expansion it took a couple hours to fully gear a char, then every Primal Ancient Holy Mega Sickass Ancient Legendary was like “maybe I can go up another grift yawn” to me.
