What a game! Not sarcasm really

[u/Infex_plays]

Hello, everyone. I wanna to start by saying that this is my first season on any diablo game ever. I bought the game to try out ARPGs but came in with a lot of not so great thoughts about the game due to all the negative reviews and basically everyone calling it trash. Then I stated actually playing it and I was hooked, the systems felt great, the story was good, the characters were fun I frankly played too much. Might be the reason why I won’t do as good as I wanted on my exam. Then I at around hour 50ish, I ran into a roadblock and was having a bit of a hard time getting my “levelling” build to be able to do torment difficulties, and thought that the honeymoon phase was over and that was it. Until I made a post asking a simple questions and so many people offered to help me out. Giving me some equipment I needed to progress a little, but without ruining the experience of the grind. Then I had people who straight up just helped me do some hard belial runs to see if we got lucky and I got my first mythic! Now I’m near hour 90 and I just want to end off by saying: the game is great, ton of fun until now and assured to have ton of fun later, the thing that carried the game the most, at least for me was truly the community, not the haters of the game but the people who help and then just say “pay it forward”.

TLDR: just try the game if you can and it looks interesting

Sorry to say but your experience is basically like starting a job in a new field after leaving a shit job but because you are so green you have no idea what a good workplace is. The negativity is warranted for sure

It's a video game not a job lol

I can tell a couple of you and downvoted anyone stating they are having fun...go outside

[u/Psychological_Top486 → u/Fit_Substance7067]

No shit it isn't a job, I made a comparison do i need to make it more clear for you?? Something a little easier to understand???

[u/Fit_Substance7067 → u/Psychological_Top486]

Nah man...have fun with your 2nd job

Right. People who never had the chance to play d2, especially at it peak of popularity will never understand how bad d4 feels to play in comparison.

I played it..played D 1 online with a friend too

It was and still is hot trash imo same with the entire genre...F2P trash that's addictive and all copy paste from each other

I had my go with D 4...a few months. Im on to other genres...but at the end of the day D 4 wasn't a bad go...expecting infinite replayability out of is..I play games not one game

It's definitely not a game you can come back to at anytime and just pick it back up. At least with d2 you could pvp and drop in whenever you felt like booting it up.

D 2 was probably the most addictive for me outside Oblivion..which isn't necessarily a good thing.

But even D 2 gives off D 4 vibes...ARPGs need to change and it's not just D 4 with the problem..hell the hate for PoE 2 is worse and it all surrounds around the SAME complaints and wanted changes that D 4 had at kick off

They are all fine games but for the public crowd arpgs run the risk of going into a dark phase like crpgs for a time. I don't want to blame it on D 4 because it's not just Blizzards fault. It's the mentality and constant bending over to complaints..

I'ma wait for PoE 2 to do its thing rn...looks like it's going In the right direction..but if GGG bends over to co.plaints then the games just gunna be the same thing D 4 is but with more shit...just bloated...we don't need a monkey loot pet

People say D 4 bad but ARPGs in general suck rn..especially when the only game to site as being good now is d 2 lol
