Diablo 3, post its expansion, specifically, was actually really good. Probably peak Diablo. And they still do regular updates and additions. It’s actually an extremely polished and fleshed out and fun game right now.
D2 resurrected is fun too, but it’s EXTREMELY punishing in comparison. I loved Diablo 2 and still so, but also really love Diablo 3.
A lot of people do NOT love d3, and sort of for good reason. They played it at launch and not after the expansion. It was an incredibly fucked up, mid even at it’s best, at launch. It was a hot mess, with constant server issues, no progression, very little content, the item generation was actually terrible, and they were pushing an in game player to player auction house. The items you’d get dropped were just… Actually all shit.
And it wasn’t until after the expansion that they basically gutted the loot and the loot tables and redid the entire game. It was blindingly new after that, not even comparable. And if i remember correctly, they did that again at least once, making it even better each time, constantly adding in new major features, etc. And each season, they add in a bunch of new sets and builds and legendary powers and do the power creep thing that is so addicting and fun.
I haven’t played d3 in at something like 8 years, but I’d confidently bet that it’s even better than ever.
Uh, on the other side of this, is Diablo 4. A hot mess of blandness. The game is, in every thinkable way, brown. Brown being the color of nothing.
The world is brown. Reddish brown, greyish brown, VERY red brown, etc. The fx aren’t really that colorful. The story is brown and boring. Even the gameplay is brown.
I have no idea how they fucked up THAT bad. How do you go from D3 with it’s colors and demons and scaling and unique builds and depth of features, to … Whatever happened in D4?
Sure, D3 was kinda cartoony. It could have looked better, yeah. But it was fine enough. D4 looks like somebody smashed their face into a slab of clay a hundred times, and dropped it on the wet ground outside to pick up some dirt.
I played through the campaign and don’t remember literally anything about it other than the end had a red tree and something about souls on it.
They released an expansion for it, but it doesn’t sound like it’s made any real change. So, I’m hoping they can realize how much they fucked up and the coming soon expansion they can pull their heads from their rectums and fix the game like Reaper of Souls (d3’s expansion) did for D3.
I’m really hoping the new expansion for d4 is to d4 as reaper of souls was to d3. But I have a sneaking suspicion that Blizzard is actually done.
Its Activision now

Yes d4=Diablo 4
