Ignoring the hype, this game is a very generous 6/10 at best. Have the standards of gaming really degenerated to this point that people consider this amazing? I've seen a lot of positive feedback about it outside of 4chan and I'm at a loss. I think it's real boring.

What are the best ARPG to play that aren't Diablo?

People say Grim Dawn, but it looks dead / filled with expensive DLC expansions.

Eh, It's a single player game that's old at this point. Is it really that expensive? I think I bought everything for 15 dollars on discount. You could wait for a sale. It's good fun.

You have to be retarded to be a fan of a game that has not reached open beta yet. We also don't know jack shit about itemization, which makes or breaks a diablo game. If uniques and sets are going to be just rare items with bigger numbers and a different color, like they did on d3, the game is going to be dead within the first season.

No really, I'm just annoyed at the whole advertisement. It's like Blizzard hasn't learned yet that the majority of people playing this series are white male teens from the early 2000's. Now probably wageslaves and salarymen trying to have some fun with limited time.

The whole advertisement for this game was once again a complete joke except for the first trailer / gameplay. Hope they don't come with more little "politics" to ruin the last blizzard franchise.

At least they put a damn fine white demon-woman as the main character.

Grim Dawn starts slow but is very fun and has a nice ambiance/world. PoE was good but they genuinely think letting players have fun will make them stop playing so they nerf anything that gets popular and tune the game around streamers who play 60 hours a week, so you HAVE to follow a guide and farm for trade currency to buy the BiS item for the 2-4 usable builds every season. The actual game is also locked behind a 10 act story that's not very good.
>>

You mean the game everyone stopped playing because it fucking sucked huge dick, and the entire long-term play was just about collecting the same items from the same equipment set to boost your classe's main skill 10,000% so you could then do the same time-trials for the same random zones every season?

Well shit, I guess D4 is going to die in a week too.

I watched a good chunk of streams playing it. Yes, the environments look pretty, they clearly put a lot of effort into the background graphics.

But that's like people showing off still images of matte paintings or backgrounds from an animated movie. Yes, they're nice and they look pretty and I'm sure someone put a ton of time and skill into making them, but they're literally the least important part of the whole, because if the animation or story or art that goes on top of them is boring, ugly, stupid, or nonsense then it doesn't matter how nice the backgrounds look.

And unfortunately, the gameplay just looks flat garbage. It's a bunch of people who never played Diablo 2 outside of the design document given to them, and are trying to recreate something that looks like it on the surface but plays like a 2020s mobile game, because the people making it have no concept of what made the original games fun, or where their limitations were and what should have been updated for modern players.

This game 100% is not for people looking for an advancement in the ARPG genre. It's for people who probably played a little bit of D2 Remaster, or a large amount of D3, and just want exactly the same but with the option to pay more money to Blizzard to get more stuff.

The skill tree being reminiscent of D2 is what sold it for me. In D3 if two characters of the same class met in the end game the only difference was gear, everything played exactly the same. Unfortunately the beta was an absolute clusterfuck of server issues, but that was fully expected. I also got to play without pre-ordering the game, so I lost nothing but time.

Janky but fun, for a while. It gets repetitive very fast because your skills are tied completely to your weapon so, more or less, the way your build plays at lvl 10 will be the same way it plays at lvl 90, only with bigger numbers.

>>631343268
Barb can be really good if you chain certain abilities. Lunging Strike can be used as a smaller dodge if you target a mob that's at midrange because he'll lunge towards them, I used it to avoid AOEs a lot and keep my regular dodge ready for when I really needed it. Hammer of the Ancients and Upheaval are great for crowds, especially Upheaval.

All that being said, the rogue was fucking fun as shit

I think the games sound and music needs more polishing.

>Forgettable music
>I can't even remember a single sound the monsters made
>Only played rogue but weapon noises were fairly forgettable too

Meanwhile I still remember noises of monsters from d1 and d2, still remember the sound of thwacking things with a wooden club in d2. Can still remember music from d1 and d2

Also I remember the actually tree design of the skill tree from the previews, what happened to that? Rogue skill tree is ugly as fuck, and it goes down instead of up.

Game is fun enough, but I just dont get how it's not better when they already have the framework of d1 and d2 to work with.

The thread is filled with people asking how Diablo 2 is good which tells me that none of them have a fucking clue what made it so influential.
>>
>>631353705
As far as what? Diablo 2 was great for the time, but I don't think it's particularly great these days outside of people who just really, really enjoy the slow, methodical, and sometimes clunky ARPG movement/combat. It has its' points, but I think D2 fans are the same people who prefer Grim Dawn.

I have no problem with D2, what I have a problem with is someone essentially making a game just as slow, just as cumbersome, and based on all of the exact same old-ass design principals, but refusing to expand on any of them. We already have PoE and we've seen what PoE can push ARPG gameplay to be. Do you have to be as fast, or have as many enemies on-screen as PoE? No, of course not. But when you're building a new, better, modern game, it should at least start from a baseline where the crafting, freedom, character customization, build diversity, and amount of things to do and engage with that PoE has set.

Otherwise, if your goal of making a "modern" game is just to go reset back to D2 and then just add in all of the monetization features from D3/Immortal, and none of the actual gameplay advancements the genre has seen, well then why the fuck would anyone be buying that (other than brainless, thoughtless normalfags and Blizzard simps)?

Idk if this me having a Mandela Effect, but I'm pretty sure all dungeons and maps in D2 have an element of procedural generation to them. I get this feeling, because I played through Act 1 of D2 a lot of times and I don't remember the Den of Evil having the same layout every time.

D3 literally has nothing to do, you fucking retard. You level, then get the seasonal gift for 5 minutes, then farm a few rounds of bounties which takes 1 hour total, then farm rifts for keys so you can spam GRs. That's it.

Meanwhile in D4 you have campaign, tons of side quests, world events, local events, world bosses, cellars, normal dungeons, nightmare dungeons, dungeon events, renown, strongholds, Helltides, target farming for uniques, PvP zones with Seeds of Hatred + Red Dust farming, Whispers of the Dead, mount trophies, and all of this is not even counting the seasonal shit that they are going to do every 3 months.

You're just a moron, get the fuck out of here.

>hand crafted dungeon environments that feel truly unique. Compare the den of evil with the durance of hate. They feel so radically different compared to any two dungeons from Diablo 4.
Couldn't agree more. Everything is cookie cutter in D4 and for people saying it's just act 1, so 15-20 Dungeons aren't enough of a sample size? They were ALL the same, and on top of that, there's level scaling in effect so the mobs always take the same damage and time to kill.
>>
My only question is:
Is it classic Blizzard quality, or NuBlizzard quality?
>>
>>631354375
They do. Even dungeons in D1 were procedurally generated up to a point.

This guy sums it up pretty well with actual examples.
There is some hidden global cooldown on specific abilities that makes the game feel clunky and unresponsive.

It's not even NuBlizzard, which is a term we sort of started using around WoW Cataclysm. This is more like NuNuBlizzard.

D4 is a game that is made by a lot of people, but not a lot of people who are making a game. Rather it's made by a lot of people (diversity hires and normies) working under middle managers all working on one little aspect of a project they don't know about or care about, and then all of those aspects are being brought together in a whole that is likely not really overseen or tested by anyone. There is no central designer or person or team guiding the actual whole game's direction.

There is no "Classic Blizzard", those teams and that company hasn't existed for more than a decade.

I loved d1 and d2. Bought d3 CE and got to experience the launch of that game. Even though the expansion did a lot of good for it, it still feels so...idk I'll use the fun word, but soulless. D4 absolutely feels like a step in the right direction, and it's not doing retarded shit like D3 did such as hitting a piece of the environment will do more damage to your weapon than the highest gold said object will drop so destroying things is a net negative. It still does silly shit like equipping two swords lets you throw unlimited daggers, but whatever, I'm just a grog who doesn't mind keeping up with arrows/knives in the inventory. I think the UI is kind of fucking ugly, but you can tell it's certainly made with console kiddies in mind.

Idk, so far it's a solid 7/10 ARPG. If you like those kinds of games you'll prolly enjoy pouring some hours into it.

I love D2 Necromancer
In any game like this that ive played theres no real summoner class, including mobas, sylvanas on HOTS was like that but they reworked her and took out the skill that did that
I just want to have fun summoning an army of dumb minions and D2 Necromancer is incredible for that, the best Necromancer/Summoner that ive seen
I havent played too much of D3 but i remember not liking the Necromancer skills at all in that game. I just want to know if D4 Necromancer is like D2, i would be so happy
or even if the other similar ARPGs have a fun summoning class like Grim Dawn or Torchlight or else because i never played any of them
D2R is the perfect game i dont think blizzard can surpass that game but i have hope

Yeah, even if they made the dungeons feel more meaningful and fixed the loot (they won't), the MMO crap kills the game for me. Diablo is supposed to be a single player dungeon crawl with optional multiplayer. Even Diablo 3's always online crap let you create a single player game.

Based take.

Started on D2 and it is my favourite but people can't look beyond its shadow. D3 was also a great addition but it had its flaws. Over time it became a great game, fixing a lot of wrongs but ofc no one will accept that.

D4 literally is a Nephalem of the series and it shows. The beta was an excellent showcase of that. People crying about early access and MTX for literal cosmetics are boomers who can't ignore the literal optional thing.

Also if you're taking time out of your day to go out of your way to shitpost your hate for game you supposidly don't care about (rent free kek) you need to go touch grass.

You "people" are pathetic losers. Blizzard is living so rent free in your heads that you have turned schizophrenic and you're fully convinced that they have talked about systems that won't be in the game at launch, despite them being in the closed beta and despite Blizzard having talked about them in interviews.
>>
>>631355260
>if D4 Necromancer is like D2, i would be so happy
that's what it's looking like.
also last Epoch has a similar feel. Can either have an army of bone boys/archers/mages or a smaller group of beefier bone daddies.
But D4 also looks closer to D2's Necro than D3's

They retconned a lot a shit post D2. The entire Lilith/Inarius narrative is pure D3+ crap, along with the nephalem nonsense etc.

Sounds retarded.
French/English/Spanish-inspired paladin is one of the most popular, if not *the* most popular fantasy class aesthetic. People talk up wizards and warriors, but in every game with a paladin available, even if the class is shit people play it for the aesthetic alone.

Imagine giving up on that huge, intrinsic appeal in a game about literally killing demons, just to own the chuds. Blizzard has been so fucking stupid this last decade, man. I knew when they prioritized monks and even that retarded fucking witch doctor guy in D3, that something was seriously wrong with their internal culture. It's hard to think of a class aesthetic that's LESS popular than the fucking monk. They're not cool. I don't know why they push it so hard. And the witch doctor is just bizarre.

There's so much free money just laying on the ground for them to bend over and shovel into their embrace here, and they choose not to do it for no discernable reason. It's inexplicable.

They have specifically said a dozen times in a dozen different ways in a dozen interviews that you can't buy any kind of power/advantages/ingame progression with money.

I don’t understand what you people want, honestly. Diablo is a busy work game. All I want in a good Diablo game is interesting busy work and meaningful differences between my builds, D4 seems to achieve this better than D2 or D3, and we only have access to a third of the overall at-launch content. I’m sure that in a couple years, it’ll be filled with things to do. Maybe those things won’t be extremely riveting or special, but that’s never been true of any Diablo game. The whole franchise is built to be played when you’re drunk or high and want something to mildly stimulate your brain while you disassociate. It isn’t exactly high art.

Blizzard isn't lying about the battle pass being cosmetic, that would be beyond retarded. They don't like about things like this.

What is a world event? Seems like you go to a spot and then fight a boss, D3 has that

I did. There are numerous ways to play the original release, and then there’s the remake. Everybody who’s ever had Diablo gate kept has long had the opportunity to play D2. You can stop pretending that it’s 2010 and that a bunch of starry eyed faggots who’ve never heard of Diablo just bought D3 and think it’s the best thing ever made. D2 isn’t an underground niche game that you get to feel good about liking, you virgin paint thinner sniffing retard. That doesn’t matter because though because for some reason you retards use the fact that you’ve played D2 as some kinda get out of jail free card for having to acknowledge that other people are capable of forming disagreeing with you while also being informed. You’d rather pretend that everyone is retarded except you. Ironic but sad and funny so feel free to keep it up.

A good sequel is supposed to iterate and improve on the previous entries in a franchise. Diablo I was released in 1996, Diablo II in 2000. These games DEFINED the ARPG. 23 years later, what has Blizzard brought to the table with Diablo IV? How are they evolving the genre?
All they have done is incorporated uninspired, time-wasting systems from MMOs and mobile games to keep people playing with busy work that only exists to boost cash shop sales.
Please set some standards for yourselves.

Well when you're a retard with a low IQ like yourself i'd imagine a lot of things "seem" the same. I'm sure you would have a hard time figuring out the difference between a cake of coke or a can of sprite.

You can only buy tiers for the premium pass, which only has cosmetics. For the free one you have to play to unlock everything.

there's a slot for weapon mastery right? i can't remember but i think it was outside the beta zone so no-one can access it? sorc felt like it got a huge boost with 1st enchantment slot unlock and like you i felt her slow down a bit at 25. iron maelstrom or whatever ultimate was deleting pretty much every elite and doing huge damage to dungeon bosses once i got to 25 on barb but the other skills still feel underwhelming compared to the clear of sorceror skills

Why the fuck do i have to explain to you what a world boss is? You're posting on /v/ for fucks sake are you not familiar with video games at all? Have you ever played a single MMO?
Literally just youtube a video of the world boss in D4 or any of the world bosses in diablo immortal.
Like there is literally videos to show you what they are go fucking look. They're just big bosses that require a large amount of players to whittle down and they spawn at set or random times with long timers in open world zones, generally with a good reward for killing them.

Should i explain to you what a durability system is next? How about an upgrading system? What about 'elite' enemies? Maybe you even need me to hold your hand and explain even the most basic shit like what leveling up is?

So just a boss then, got it.
Also, I watched someone solo that "world boss" yesterday when the rest of the party died. So yeah, sorry buddy, but you are getting tricked by the MMO aspects.

>>631360408
No, they did not. They specifically said that you can only pay for tiers on the premium one. If you think otherwise, I encourage you to go ahead and post timestamp to a video.

Then you’re exactly the type of retard that I’m used to seeing on here. I was alive when D2 released, and I’d still rather play on my Sony Bravia 4k TV with HDR than a CRT. Cope, seethe, dilate, whatever you need. Just know that nobody is impressed with your retro obsession, and maybe you’d be a bit more capable of enjoying things released today if you weren’t a social pariah stuck in the 90s gushing from every orifice about the things you were doing instead of going outside when you were a kid.

Faming gear means killing monsters which means getting levels which means the monsters do too. It's clearly possible to play the game still, that is the point, but it's just a really stupid system for an ARPG

stupid casuals and radicalized chuds are unironically going to ruin this game. this game should have the greater rift function and an auction house. everything else is just bait for casuals and retards. ARPG is a solved product, just remake diablo 3 better content. literally all you have to do. diablo 3 is unironically a pretty good game. throw in all the stupid shit you want but just know that this game will FAIL without a greater rift and auction house. serious players don't care about the story, they don't care about skin color, they don't care about how big the numbers get or if they can play with their girlfriend. the casuals will quit after 3 months regardless of how hard you cater to them. whether the game lives or dies depends on the hardcore players, and we want deep itemization and customization with straight-to-dungeon play and an auction house. this is digital stamp collection with an asteroids minigame, you the company knows it and all the serious players do too. put in the important features and go from there, stop putting the concerns of actual retards who think that big numbers and selling items are bad and want to relive their shitty childhood where diablo 2 substituted for their absent fathers.

Sitting at 15 hours and I can safely say this is the ARPG the market has been waiting for. This is the best thing released since Diablo 2. The polish the gameplay the passion. It is clear that Blizzard is back and has their best developing the game.

Holy Shit, I am actually offended by this. Nothing is fucking back. Blizzard has been dead for many many years now. All of the talent that made blizzard great left long ago. And this game is literally just a clone of a gook mmo with all the shitty game design and modern game bullshit included.

Shits fun, and leagues better than D3 and PoE, its not even a comparison. Gives me old school D1/D2 vibes with a mix of expansive map like Grim Dawn. Not counting disconnects and some performance issues which will get smoothed out, I'd say so far my experience is a 9/10.

They took D3, made the atmosphere darker and grittier more in line with D2, then they infused it with shitty MMO and mobile gaming mechanics, battle pass and cash shop included. In no way can this game be considered an evolution of the ARPG, or even the basic Diablo formula. It brings nothing new to the table, just systems that have existed in the shittiest types of games for years. The game is a complete and utter failure.

Ok so I just hit lvl 20.

Love it. love it. love it.
This is easily the best Diablo game in the franchise. Music is on point, audio in general is CRISP. Story is great so far. Loving the gameplay but I've only tried sorc. Itemization and build variety is the best in the series. They stole the graphics from PoE but they should have. PoE shamed D3 in the gfx department. Cannot await for launch.

I do hope they change the skill tree though. My eyes can't seem to adjust well to it. It sucks. Straight up, it's awful.

Wow, just wow. D2 had procedurally generation dungeons. The best patterns we could come up with was "go clockwise [or counter-clockwise] from the entrance to get to the exit the quickest."

Here we are, over 20 years later, on the cusp of a major AI revolution. An AI that can generate essays, scripts, dialogues, technical writing, art, music, etc. And this is the best the D4 devs could come up with. The most basic of "building blocks" to procedurally generate the most bland, samey, dungeons I've ever seen in a video game. Oh how Blizzard has fallen.

nigga. Tell me you didn't play shit without telling me you didn't play shit.

So you have 6 skills you can keep with hotkeys and idk how many more you can keep without hotkeys but they're still there. but the time I reached level 20 with sorc, this was a versatile crowd controller, modified by legendaries which would completely change the playstyle depending on the modifiers on those legendaries.

Not to defend nublizzard, but I think it's far too easy to nondevs to conflate simple dungeons with bad design. This is simply not the case. It's pretty common these days to not waste the players time, which is why so many games have relatively linear levels, it maintains a sense of flow and progression. You've got to realize that zoomies need a constant loud blaring noise in front of their face every 4 seconds to secure their attention span. And if we are being honest, Diablo hasn't been about REAL dungeon crawling since the original. The genre has shifted toward mowing down a billion monsters with as little friction as possible. Vampire Survivors' success is evidence of this fact even PoE has simple map design.
Additionally, its also easy to think that AI is a one click solution to all your problems, but overwhelmingly it's not very practical or viable in most scenarios, and implementation of it is far more complicated that most people realize.
I guess what I'm saying is, cut them some slack and criticize the things that legitimately matter. I suspect their itemization will be utter shit, and builds will be a bore. If you want a genuine dungeon crawling experience, Diablo is not the franchise to be fixated on.

I put about 15hrs into the D4 beta and basically did all I could on a barb ( meaning I finished the story and did everything )

I only choose the barb because necro wasn't an option. I play every if not every other season of D2 and always main the necro, its a playstyle I just love and no other game has done a similar playstyle since. PoE pets are up a limited time or need to be activated and D3 is pretty much the same, you have to activate the pet powers otherwise they auto-attack and do no damage and this to me doesn't feel like a real pet class after what we got in D2. Sadly with that said the barb is a copy/paste of the D3 barb which leads me to believe that the necro will be as well, not a single thing felt new, all the legendaries I got felt like copies of one another one was whirlwild spawns tornados, another was double slash spawns tornados, groundstomp spawns earthquake, leap spawns earthquake, ect, ect. I got prob 15? Legendaries in my time playing and I can't even name one of them here and now because none of them are worth remembering. The game feels like they grabbed 50% of Diablo immortal and 50% of Diablo 3 and put them in a blender and this is what came out.

Thanks for the actual thoughtful replies. I guess I'm just barking up the wrong tree if I wanted something more. This game is definitely not for me. I don't want a "forever game" that is filled with busy work that doesn't actually keep me engaged.

I would've been ok if they evolved on rifts or PoE's maps and scrapped the rest of the MMO stuff. I would've been fine if seasons brought me back for 2-4 weeks, then I stopped playing until the next season. But no, they're going for that "gotta keep you hooked 24/7" MMO stuff that completely turns me off.

>what is even the issue with gold being a game currency
Because in a singleplayer game, it makes no sense. It's an infinite, endless stacking resource that you gain passively, and the only purpose it has is to make it feel like there's something you're gaining that then has to be sunk out of the game via increasingly inflated gold-sink vendors and nonsense mechanics.

Literally the fucking reason why the Auction House in D3 made no sense. It's an abstract resource that has no place in a game where you're engaging with other players because that just means everything will have to constantly inflate over time since the amount of gold in the game's economy (both single and multiplayer) will never decrease.

The ONLY logical system for a game that you are meant to play/farm endlessly is a barter or utilitarian currency system like PoE where when certain orbs become too plentiful, they devalue and are replaced by something more rare as the standard unit.

Bad:
>Gold is an infinite, endless resource that is constantly trending up and has no way to be sunk out of the economy except maybe by locking important gameplay features behind arbitrarily (and necessarily scaling) gold costs in order to wage a futile war against inflation that you created to begin with.

Good:
>Currency is utilitarian, meaning that it necessarily has an in-game utility that players need to use in order to accomplish things, thus ensuring that it maintains trade value and also and inherently sinks itself out of the economy to keep it from inflating.

I'm saying the fact that gold exists in Diablo, and the game devs insist on using it as an in-game currency, is retarded design and makes no sense, and the only reason they're doing it is because it was how games in 2000 were made and they're incapable of creating anything new that actually works because no one developing this game actually sat down to think about it at all.

Gold makes no sense in Diablo, that's a given. But the fact that not only do no devs realize this, but none of the people defending the game care about this, is the whole point. No thoughts are happening, just mindless drooling.

That's odd because not a single person at Blizzard, or any of the shills, ever once mentioned the word "build" during the entire decade this game has been in development. They haven't shown off any different variations or builds of any of the skills, and we already know for a fact that classes have a small selection of core skills, so there's inherently limited choices to start.

How exactly are we going to end up with all these builds you claim exist?

Bet you feel stupid now huh

I didn't mention anything about PoE at all, nice try though.
The items in D4 could not be more boring

Wrecked, I tell you. Devastated. I think, honestly I have no idea what this image is meant to mean other than the dude has 10 of the same "random" item.

What is garbled nonsense about saying D4 itemization is an exact copy of modern WoW? How is this an improvement over D2?

So far the only thing I thought was bad about this game was how dungeons feel repetitive and have unfun missions that require pointless backtracking. Shit like this >>631349346
is inexcusable.

As per everything else though, the systems implemented are pretty much better than any other competitor.

>Better than D2
Lacks stupid potion spam, immunities and overpowered runewords that make drops pointless. Skill tree is fixed synergies.
>Better than D3
Looks much better, the potion system is better than potions with cooldown. No set bullshit. Transfering legendary affixes > Kanai's cube. Much better affixes for items.
>Better than PoE
No flask piano bullshit. Basic skill tree is easy enough to use while there being room for experimentation with the paragon trees. Not nearly as many autistic systems to experiment, but I guess there are people who are into this shit.
>Better than Last Epoch
Honestly, I take that back, they are sort of even and frankly are very similar. The potion system is nearly identical. LE has better crafting and the skill tree is like D4 but permits much more customization without falling into the depths of PoE's autism. On the other hand, D4 has better combat and overall moment-to-moment gameplay.

Numbers may need tweaking, but that's not the same thing as the principles, which are fundamentally solid.
