Wait, what happened to D4? I haven’t played it in a while. Do people hate it now?
$70 game with mtx. That's a lot to hate right on its own
Never bought it for a reason..always online for a fucking offline game, with mtx out the ass. Yeah no thanks.
It's just for cosmetics, I don't understand why similar stance by BG3 which also has cosmetics behind additional purchase (Deluxe edition) is largely ignored
You're comparing a digital deluxe one time purchase (that was a free reward to those that purchased the game when it was in early access) to an entire cash shop filled with cosmetics.
D4 will always be around. It's one of those games you can leave for years and come back to later. Be super keen on giving it a go once it's decently priced tbh. They definitely don't deserve 100+ AUD for it though
People hate the season 1. I don't play it myself, so this is a second hand information from my friend who used to love it. They nerfed characters so hard with the new balance patch and the end game contents for season 1 isn't great.
It's just more of the same but with a reset. With a puny weak sauce season mechanic I couldn't be bothered to regrind all the reknown, all the dungeons etc. Got bit further into endgame compared to pre-season but the lack of storage and organisation made me quit a few weeks ago. Four (4) stash tabs, or is it five, and no search. How the heck am I supposed to manage loots and dungeons?
Nah, back to other arpgs
They nerfed it even more with S1, which made gameplay not fun. Meanwhile, us D2 players have hated it since the beginning, for many, many, many reasons. D4 has potential, but it's not there yet - Blizzard needs to seriously work on getting the game balance right, but even then, I don't see some aspects of the game improving due to the design decisions they made.
Personally, I'd rather place my hopes on PoE 2.
