I don't want D4s progression to go 'back to the roots' Progression wasn't high quality, you all went for the same broken items using the same skills in the same content. It's gameplay was basic, and worse than this game by far.ĭ2's gameplay is not what we want when we say ' back to the roots'. I have limited d1 experience but I know D2 quite well. This post is about 'going back to the dark and gritty days' that we loved in diablo 1 and 2. Why the character creator is so fleshed out when the itemization and skill tree - fundamental parts of the game - is so bare bones gives you a hint as to the priorities of D4's development. It is obvious no significant thought or care went into the fundamentals of its design. Disappointing for people who wanted Diablo 4 to be the next big thing, but in reality, D4 is shaping up to be no more than a cash grab on the IP.

Trying to be objective for a better overall game just doesn't have any impact.įor people who are not feeling Diablo 4, PoE II may be the alternative. Since people just buy and play (and defend), whatever is given to them there is little room for genuine criticism or push-back.

An immersive world that is challenging and feels menacing. At the end of the day this game is hitting the mass announce that blizzard knows.Īlso, how can you say it’s not dark and gritty? That fucking cut scene when they go all crazy on the dude and stabs him to death… that’s way outside of blizzards “family friendly” type of content. The negatives like UI/UX are manageable and less worrisome to me. Even David Brevrik stated (can my mom play this game?) Skill trees are back and it matches the simplicity of Diablo 2. They took the wonderful music of D1/D2 and evolved on it to match the tone and scenery of D4. I’ve always dreamed of Diablo allowing me to travel and live in the world. This game feels so fresh without overly complicating systems.īeing able to explore sanctuary for first time. A new experience with a mix of the whole series together.
