Not an ARPG

User Rating: 3 | Diablo IV PC

Diablo Iv is a game where you feel your soul being sucked as you work full time to get nowhere.

The skill twig is ridiculous since each class has maybe 1 viable build

Within a few days of release blizzard went on an anti fun inquisition and nerfed the few things about that game that felt good. Monster density is more akin to a 2012 mmo than an arpg.The world scales with your exp and your power is based on gear so bad luck can result in a miserable exp you can actually soft brick toons by leveling without good luck lol on pc the horse is dysfunctional partly due to horse movement being coded for analog sticks and then poorly ported to mouse.

The horse reminds me of dynasty warriors 4 enough said about that

The servers are blizzard servers so you can feel the hamsters struggling as you rubber band and lag. The itemization is HORRIBLE gone are amazing uniques...gone are sets that make you want to start a new class alt. gone are even interesting effects everything is bland. Nothing is special.

Trading, you can only trade low items...nothing unique or legendary...there is no trade economy what so ever

MMO features..you would think that since its obviously not a arpg there would be modern mmo features..the game heavily incentivizes playing with others with exp gains and drop rates but has no squad finder no world chat and maybe 15 people in your ginormous world at any given moment.

With how low monster density is you spend more time traveling on a horse or walking than fighting over the course of the game. Its like they took the worst elements of wow and diablo3 and smooshed them together.

This game is a disgrace to the diablo series.
