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?
I played a ton of D2 and didn’t particularly care for D3. D4 is better than D3 but it doesn’t live up to D2 for me. It could just be where I’m at in my life and not having the time or desire to grind, but late/end game is entirely unappealing to me. The campaign is intriguing so far (I’m in act 4 out of 6) but I’m not really enjoying the gameplay overall and I’m planning to return the game.
I’ll be picking up Baldur’s Gate 3 once it’s released. It’s not going to be D2 (which is what I thought I wanted out of D4), but I think it’ll be a better fit for what I actually want to play.
