Gareth writes "Diablo IV is almost shockingly refined, with an absorbing story and addictive gameplay. The shift to always online and connected play might turn some away, and the level scaling can make combat a little same-y, but on the whole, this is still Diablo at its best. It plays very well, offers tonnes of options for tailoring your character and acquiring that all important hunt for better and better loot will keep you coming back for more."
The recent State of Diablo event in South Korea had almost zero interest, indicating waning interest in the game among Korean players.
That's because Blizzard are no longer Blizzard and just another developer under Kotick's greedy watchful eye. Gamers are no longer cherished fans but $$ cows to be milked.
Wait, don't you guys have Korea?
Apparently not.
But China... when they hammered that WOW statue down... be gone Satan!
I guess Koreans can spot when a game has been designed with a view to milking more money out of players. C & C went the same way and fans walked away from the franchise after 'Generals'.
Developer Blizzard wants to give you extra Diablo IV XP.
Same, bought it a month after release, was work8ng my way through the main quest, then bg3 came and haven't looked back since.
Even know that I finished bg3 and have a few days to go till starfield, I don't have the urge to play D4.
I started Elden Ring for the first time. Pretty sure this will carry me to and a little past the launch of Starfield which I have pre-installed. As of right now, I don't see myself going back for the foreseeable future.
Ohhh your in for a treat man, elden ring is amazing although unless ur gonna play it a whole lot between now and starfield it's unlikely you will finish it time but it will definitely last you till then minimum
Yeah, Elden Ring is phenomenal. Can't remember the last time I put hours in like this on a game. It's literally been years since I have been stuck on a game like this.
Is it worth just playing for the campaign? I am not interested in end game I just want to play through the story
I finished the campaign. It's nowhere good as Diablo 3's campaign. There's no one you actually care about in this campaign. (I was stunned and gutted about what happened to Leah in the third game). It's more loosely strung than previous titles. The always online open world-esque nature of the game takes weight away from the main story.
The final confrontation was cool though. You will enjoy that. Campaign was fun, just not as fun as previous titles.
The worst Diablo game. I was rooting for this one but we all know modern games like this are destroyed by dev greed.
Translation: "Player numbers are free falling and with BG3 coming they hope to negate that." They would not have offered this if the game still had the same player numbers.
