Fans are voicing their displeasure at the latest Diablo 4 patch by review bombing the game on Metacritic.
Blizzard mentions: “The notion that you’ve missed four seasons, the only thing you’ve missed is us continuing to learn and iterate”
Agreed. I just put in 50 hours of it because I was told to just push through but I think I’m over it.
A shame because I had so much fun with Diablo 3. I bought it twice. Putting 100 of hours into both.
Diablo 3 on the switch saved me from going crazy on a deployment. Oh well hopefully next Diablo will be better.
As long as I keep my gamepass sub I won’t miss a thing
diablo 4 is actually a pretty good game now, the launch was just terrible, but honestly it was worse for D3 at launch. Farming inferno for 10 hours just to get a bunch of yellows that weren't for your class or 10 levels lower, combined with the rubberbanding and Hydra getting double the bonusses that it should have and the real money auction house. Hardcore was unplayable in D3, in D4 it was fine for me at least. Combined with not being able to log at launch or just getting kicked out. D3 was definitely way worse than D4 at launch, took them 2.5-3 years to turn it around.
If you played D3 once rifts were out, then there was actually some content, but that was YEARS into the game.
Have people just forgotten how terrible D3 was at the start? Real Money Auction House? Absolutely abysmal gear drops with stats that make no sense whatsoever?
Bring back Paladin/Crusader or GTFO. The fans never asked for Spiritborn.
Look at BG3. Great story, online co-op, couch co-op no micro transactions, no unnecessary seasons. Once you've finished the game you can play again and make different choices that will change the story. What happened to diablo?
if you're playing diablo to get branching story paths you're doing something wrong. Completely different game. The replayability in arpgs is the grind for better items and the ultimate chase is the perfect item. Might not be your cup of tea, but millions of people do.
We wouldn't feel like we're missing anything if you made it so people could go back and play through each season rather than miss out on it entirely. But that's not your goal. You want people to feel like they are missing out on things and force them to play when you want them to, regularly each season, rather than just make a game that is more enjoyable to play and with better content.

In response to a player’s post asking about a potential armory in-game, Diablo’s senior vice president Rod Fergusson simply said, “Working on it!”
Review bombing does nothing in this case. I suggest sticking to stop playing the game and persuading others not to buy it or play it as well.
lol @ review bombing. People are pathetic
These guys are super optimistic about people using metacritic user scores to make purchase decisions. No one is.
“People need to leave their feedback and reviews, where it hurts Blizzard’s pockets. Reddit is not the place, encourage everyone to go to Metacritic and make your voice heard. Reviews are used by consumers to inform their purchase decision, not Reddit.”
Yeah, no one is doing that. No one is filtering metacritic by user score. Even metacritic itself doesn't showcase those scores, because they don't mean anything. In large part, because of stuff like this. I'm not saying I agree with what Blizzard are doing or anything like that, but this type of action doesn't achieve anything at all really.
I really want to play this game but I just want all this nonsense to end and things to be ironed out. I will most likely start playing towards the end of the year
Only negative is the nerfs and that is while making monsters 5 level behind and making other builds viable now or did people expect season 1 to make all the changes that Diablo 3 did in its 10+ years of updates?
