I’m playing the patient gamer card on this one. I was a big fan of 1 & 2. The third one I drifted on, but when I saw the theming for 4 it peeked my interest. At this point I’m waiting a year to see how this turns out before putting any money into it.
To give you another opinion to consider, I’ve really enjoyed the game so far and so have all my friends. One of which is a dedicated PoE gamer with thousands of hours if that helps lend credibility to his opinion, I’m a less dedicated ARPG gamer and it’s my favourite ARPG that I’ve tried (from a less dedicated more casual perspective)
As a fellow fan of 1 & 2, it’s been a pretty disappointing experience. The game lacks soul, and feels more like a generic ripoff ARPG, rather than a Diablo game. Only good thing about the game so far, for me anyways, is the story and cutscenes.
Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I found the loot in 3 to be so dispensable so quickly that I never felt like I knew what I had equipped, and the visuals really put me off.
I’m picking up D2: resurrected when it next goes on sale, and I’m going to play through all over again, and really take my time. Once I’m done with that I’ll see where D4 landed.
That’s exactly what I’m doing right now. I’ve been playing D2R on Switch the last couple months. Really taking it slow and trying to help others out in the public games with gear.
I just unlocked Nightmare on my sorc, and on a good night I’ll see around 10 public to join games between normal and nightmare to choose from.
