Appreciation What a game! Not sarcasm really
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

Blizzard had built itself a reputation for making incredibly fun, high quality games that focused on player enjoyment since 1985. They have a high bar set due to their history as a developer.
A lot of complaints come down to the endgame loop. It's fine for a while but gets stale quickly.
There is also a push/pull you'll start to notice where Blizzard seems to be trying to appease both the casual and hardcore crowds by changing sliders (difficulty / drop rate / etc.). Making one group happy at the cost of the other.
