    If youre still playing D4, I dont know what to tell you. Most people who pay attention to industry news and the game design philosophy of Blizzard knew well enough to pass it over.

      I saw someone mentioned the other day in that thread about buyer’s remorse that they didn’t even feel like they were playing a game, that it played itself basically and that just made me think about watching my son-in-law playing Diablo 3 and all he really did was walk around while shit died around him due to his character’s abilities and items, and I asked how that was even fun anymore and he turned to me with a straight face and said “it’s not fun. I just want to 100% it.”

      I was hoping in vain that Blizzard might pivot even a little when they saw the backlash but nah people continue to throw money away on bullshit so of course Blizzard wouldn’t

      Now I feel all the more right for skipping over it. To be honest, I didn’t mind Diablo 3 once it had all its content and was no longer a dual-wield credit card simulator. It was a pretty fun game by the end IMO. Diablo 4 didn’t feel right to me so I just skipped it.

        D4 really isn’t that different from current D3. In some areas it’s actually better. But of course both of those suck compared to D2 or PoD.
