So I was wondering if I should buy D4.

I am a huge d2 fan with hundreds of hours laddering doing mf runs and trading to get those juicy rune words, both on the original game and resurrected.

Like many D2/Poe players, I was and still am hugely disappointed by D3. And I really dislike what blizzard has become.

That being said, is Diablo 4 a good game? And more importantly, a good Diablo game?

    Reading through this, I feel like you have voiced a lot of concerns I had for the game, considering D3 launch and blizzard history.

    Thanks a lot, I will definitely not buy this anytime soon. I might buy it if they get their shit together (I don’t have much hope) and if it goes on some serious sale.

    Funny thing you mentioned the music, I made this post after listening to the Tristram ost (I love it so much) and checking if there was a D4 version. I found that it sounded pretty nice and made me reconsider not buying D4. Hence this post.

    Seems like D2R will be my Diablo for a while!

      I loved D2. Hated D3. Love D4 and I don’t agree with a lot of the things mentioned. Some are even false. Sad to see someone miss out on this beautiful game because of being misled.

        Oh don’t worry, I see that not everyone agree, and that’s fine. As I said, I will wait some polish and a big discount, then we will see.

      Most of what was written was incorrect or lies. They’re one of those people that only likes D2 and if a game isn’t D2, then it’s bad. Don’t be a moron and listen to them.

        It’s some form of copy-paste response that I’ve seen them make before when someone asks about Diablo 4. Though I think the list has grown since the last couple of times I’ve seen it.

      I still think D4 is a pretty decent investment (possibly not full-price decent) but it’s hard to assuage the hardcore crowd while also catering to (the millions of) casual players, especially on consoles. That said, it’s a pretty good time-waster for a couple hundred hours (at least for me) and when I do put it down eventually, I think I would have gotten my money’s worth.
