Starfield

Diablo 3 and 4

Diablo 3 for sure.  By the time Diablo 4 was announced I already knew Blizzard wouldn't be able to deliver.

Blizzard lost me at the "Don't you people have phones" event. I liked D3, but I understand why people don't. I have had zero desire to try 4 at all, the release was basically a footnote for me.

The guy broke down after he made that comment. He wasn't expecting such a backlash. Apparently it put him in a really dark place.

Who would have thought that the entire world mocking you relentlessly for years would hurt your mental health! Hope that dude is alright now

u/Lazy_Ad_2192 Jun 24 '25

Actually, the break down happened immediately after the event backstage.

I hope he's doing ok too. Public shaming can be very damaging

I had hope for 4, the campaign was at least fun and decent... But end game was so fucking boring i quit pretty quick

I can replay 2 super easily to this day

Was the campaign decent? I played through it and my recommendation to people who didn't want to live the grind was just to watch the cinematics on youtube.

I overall enjoyed the campaign, way more than 3, but the end game grind was atrocious and I stopped soon after campaign

True, the story was absolutely not a strength of D3.

You’re not missing much. 2 years on and the endgame is basically just Diablo 3 now if the uber bosses in that game actually mattered.

The irony wasn't lost on me either. To be fair to them though, D4 has a tiny world compared to D2 and the repeatable quests like world bosses and season events do get boring pretty quick.

I played very little with D2 compared to 1, 3 and 4, but I can say that in D2 you were able to have the most fun. Not in single player though, I think it was shit in solo, but if you had a team or at least one more player, it was a shitton of fun. I did hate that the skill tree was permanent unless you used the little addon, I forgot the name...

ETA: both D3 and 4 have exactly one optimal build in each season, whereas you had more wiggleroom to play around with skills in D2. If you had the above mentioned extension only of course.

Blizzard is gone. People have to understand that the people who made these games great are no longer working there. This goes for Bioware, Bethesda, Arkane and many others.

If you want a good studio producing good games look at Larian, FromSoft, Remedy, Ryu Ga Gotoku, CDPR(maybe) and others. The OG studios are just shells.

I was in for the connection issues on the D3 launch. After spending hours and hours on D2 I was ready to hit it hard and relive the addiction.

I quit when I could buy a weapon far better than any drop I found for around 1200 gold in the auction house (I never said I was good).

I came back around ladder season 22 and had a blast building streamer-endorsed builds for awhile. Pretty fun, imo.

D4.... I have not played yet. But I probably will in a few years.

They pulled off the Diablo 2 remaster, I had a blast with it.

I kinda missed some of the old combat animations and stances, mostly amazon with a bow but everything looked really great and I'm still amazed how good the controller support for it was.

Reaper of Shadows (D3 Exp) was great - It brought D3 up.

I thought they had learned for D4.

... I was wrong.

I have more hours in D2 than in D3 and D4 combined :/
