Grim Dawn gang rise up
Blizzard is a shitty company where breast milk is stolen
This sounds like an absurdist meme, except … true
True, but they get just like super jealous and toxic towards any potential competition in the ‘milking it’ department. No dairy farms in a 100km radius from their offices either.
The thing is, on paper, the game seems awesome: it’s a lot grittier and darker than D3, combat and skills feel weighty, the character and armour design are cool too. However, there’s just not a whole lot keeping you motivated long-term unless you’re a fan of battlepasses as a form of carrot on a stick.
Enemies are way too tanky, you essentially do not feel your character getting stronger because the entire world scales with your level, the skill tree is not as deep as it seems on a surface level…
I could keep going with this. Point is, the amount of monthly recurring players speaks for itself.
Exactly. The level scaling in particular is what killed it for me. What is the point of even having a level up mechanic if your character doesn’t actually get any stronger. Part of the fun of D2 was getting a character to a point where you could just stomp previous areas.
D3 even. Thinking of (Greater) Rifts, going back to previous, easier Rifts after decking your character out in gear was quite fun.
Plus the removal of previous seasons mechanics also makes eternal realm characters weaker than they were when you played them originally, so not really any point to play them again.
me on my way to watch my fifth video essay on why star field is terrible. (it is cathartic to hear people complain about the game when i knew from the start it was doomed to fail.)
From the very release it seemed like it was gonna be a meh game. Not bad, not good, just perfectly ok, and with how many good games exist today, I never saw any point in playing it.
And, yeah, that’s basically what the conclusion ended up being.
It’s nice to have Gamepass on my PC for this reason. I find a ton of stuff I like and I get to try things like starfield and see how they suck and not feel bad about spending 60$ on it
For a minute I thought this was an ecco the dolphin deep cut
now that’s a game!!
A cause of PTSD maybe. I hope to never see that game again.
I got it for free and still felt disappointed and somehow ripped off.
It took your time and your disk space.
Nice try Blizzard. Still a hard pass.
Why play Diablo 4 when Baldur’s Gate 3 is so much better. Plus Diablo 3 has infinite content
They’re not even in the same genre.
Nun uh. They are.
They clearly aren’t. Only a complete fool would say otherwise.
Nuh uh, they are basically the same game.
I’ve played that game!
You are right, don’t buy it. I regret it.
Isn’t there a free demo?
I liked the atmosphere in the beginning. Reminded me of Diablo 1. But beyond that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of love.
I’m not sure but I loved Diablo 1 and 2, 3 felt like they completely lost their way… I’ve watched some streams and feel 4 is even more watered down…
This games in a weird spot. There not enough to keep hard-core fans going, but players like me who will put in probably less than 200 hours a season, it’s good. It’s still my first season, I’m not level 100, and I’m having a blast leveling, taking on new bosses, and exploring. Works about to cut into my play time a lot more in the next couple of weeks, so I’m already thinking ahead to making a different character next season.
I’ve only heard complaints from my Diablo fan friends.
I watch Carbot’s videos instead. Here is the Diablo 4 playlist.

Can I sell you my digital deluxe copy? Half price???
It’s fine. I liked it enough to feel like I got my money’s worth for it.
