For what it's worth (not much I know) I'm personally enjoying it so far. Wasn't even going to bother, but I had family pushing me to play. I went in with zero hype or knowledge of any trailers or interviews. Only thing I saw was the reveal, which let's be honest was awesome. Blizzard's one thing no one can argue against is their cinematics.
It feels like Diablo. It also gets dark as FUCK with some of its side content. Saw one motherfucker chained to a wall and skinned alive. And the dude was begging for more. Real Hellraiser shit. It's like the events of 3 never even happened. Only strange thing about it is how fucking lonely it feels. It's online only, because fucking of course it is... and you see other people, but no one talks. There is no world chat. There's a trade chat but again... no one talks. It's a fucking bizarre feeling. Also the skill system almost demands the player have a brain that codes for a living. A lot of "X does Y damage for 3 seconds if Z is applied to the enemy." It's a little difficult to grasp what the fuck they are even talking about.
Overall though, I'm not having any buyer's remorse. Which is the best I can say about a Blizzard title these days.
I heard it was good from many people with good taste. Honestly I don’t care what people say about it, I’ll get it at some point after I finish Tears of the Kingdom. I’m fine if people boycott CoD since it sucks anyway.
I was in the same camp, but then I realized I was stalling the game like hell because I don't really want it to end. You can only truly play a game for real once :(
One of the big problems with Diablo 3 is each 'global' chat channel was limited to 100 people.
Most gamers don't talk most of the time so it was crickets with the occasional person writing "is anybody out there?"
Contrast to PoE where you get in g1 English and feel like other people are playing the game and if you want to take a break you can just read some chat. It's always stupid or troll but better than silence.
