Zack please play Diablo 2

What I really miss in D4 is the group play. It feels like none of the classes or abilities are actually designed to play together.
I really enjoy playing Hardcore D3 with my friends, but I think it gets stale kind of fast when playing solo.
Now, on gameplay, I think the game could benefit hugely from being more group-oriented (or at least having the option) because that can give so much potential complexity. A class might be simply by itself, but things can get very interesting when classes and abilities start to interact with one another. In fact, those interactions are often the most well done in ‘simpler’ games and can also make D4 stand on its own -again-, away from PoE.

The issue i have with the game is the Battlepass + Cosmetic shop In a $70 (standard version) game. I enjoyed the beta until i saw that

He didn’t play Diablo 1 and 2. No wonder he likes Diablo 3

D3 is fun due to simplicity. I can hop on an farm items and farm monsters. Simplicity is the key. Playing for the first time in 2023 in hope d4 is like d3

I love the complexity of poe. but after spending years away from the game, starting new is a pain (in poe). what i hope, is that diablo IV, can start small, be complex enough, and evolve into the full poe experience long term. filling the needs of those newer to poe, with the big money of blizzard.

First Diablo game I am just going to pass on.

Same… my only concern is the endgame also, i hope it wont sucks

Everyday older and balder

Asmon, I was upset about the plane until you apologized. <3 :)

plz tell me youre gonna stream diablo 2 with hellfire

Good look

Can someone explain to me how you level up and get so much gear so quickly? 2-3 days only of content? That seems insane to me to beat the game that quick.

Should I not dungeon crawl everything I find and just blast through the story? I don’t get it. I feel like it takes hours and hours for me to maybe find a good item, read through all the different damage and skill options, analyze if I should try a different build. Are people just following online guides and not organically playing the game? What am I missing lol.

I played POE and Grim Dawn before I played D3, I only played the demo when it first came out and I joined rather late in 2021 and I pretty much loved it so far. The game could be improved still if there was more activities, other than grinding for gear and XP. I hope they don’t completely abandon D3 because it’s a great game with a great potential.

This is probably the best Asmongold video I have ever seen. Honest gamer-to-gamer opinion. Love it!

Awesome video

I thought the plane was over my house.

Nice

Damn, the “balding man” is slowly getting hairstyle similar to his WoW character. What a twist.

Diablo 3 is trash. It doesn’t exist in my opinion. If Diablo 4 doesn’t take any inspiration from D2 then I’m not playing it.

“Diablo IV is more simple than PoE”.. give it 2 years and it will be the typical Casino gangbang pool party grinding game with lots of flashing lights and unlimited item combinations, looting and complexity.

same combat,trash story,looks like game from 2005 and giving it 9/10 is mental.

8.5 is to high, I give it a 3/10 and should be a 20$ game. Just wait for blizzard to do blizzard things and ruin the game like they did for D3. They made it online only where you need a party to play and soloing though possible, just not fun. No potions, skill levels restricted by items, the amount of legendary drops and the unbalanced level based monsters.

Play Barb, was the hardest but got it done
Played Rouge, bow was fun when I got a good one and that took awhile
Played Druid, stupid easy high dps
Played Necro, completely naked all the way to lvl 25 with no skill points used…

With the way the world boss and other quests were made, you can tell some of the WoW team worked on it and has that woke panzy feel. BORING! Next they will have pronouns for your character

QoL is low and item stats feels useless unless it’s a weapon then it just shows more damage.

The other biggest QoL thing they need to add is having the map to be able to play full size like d2 and poe. Not just having to use mini map or to pull up the big map and it gets you killed. Idk why d3 and d4 went that way but it sucks.

Crafting seems boring also.
D3 vendors of being able to craft loot with random affixes was fun. Even d2 cube system crafting was fun. Something else to do with gems. I guess d3 simplified it, but there so much more creative things you can do

Gauntlet was a great game

Nice

Thank you 🙂 I really appreciate your videos and honest take on things. I had fun playing sorc (x2) for 4 days, and ridiculous amount laughter on my poison rain rouge playing with friends. Hope that end game gives us enough variety to keep it interesting.

The beep-beep bird

Totems should be a one time deal and any new players coming in do them once as well.

Very nice

that place that had all the spider legs moving about and all the gunk. i think about that place and i cringed. I think that was their purpose. i wanted to get out of that area asap!!

Has asmongold played Grim Dawn then?

Kinda wish this was how he presented himself on stream as well cause, other than the fact I don’t buy the whole Asmongold “persona” thing, this person here is actually pleasant to watch.

All the edgelording does it attract dregs. Gotta feed drama to the almighty algorythm I guess, wish people didn’t have to grift just to get views.

Can we take a moment to appreciate that this video was done outside?

Fella, I love content like this. I know your more dramatic Twitch react content is your bread and butter, and I can see your critical process mixed in with some of the edgy-energy. Stuff like this is way more my wavelength for what it’s worth. Way more human. Way more relatable.

I hope Diablo IV becomes a modern MMO version of Diablo II. I was so happy to see that Blizzard abandoned the PG-13/WoW “colorful vomit” artstyle but very disheartened when I saw the legendary aspects and skilltree that can only be compared to an Alabama family tree.

Love u buddy

Dude, superhyped to buy a full price game, then get the battle pass so I can unlock cosmetics that I couldn’t get from playing. Then I’m even more hyped for the seasonal cash shop, gotta get the cosmetics in case they never come back. I love full price, live service games! Anything blizzard says you know they will come through, so it’s bulletproof. I’m just glad they worked the model out with diablo immortal first. Even after 20 years of launching new games and servers, I won’t even hold it against them when they crash day 1!!! This game is a mockery and is just shoveling poop down your throat.

Diablo 3 was terrible and i hope this game never feels like that, however this does bring a lot of diablo 2 vibes. and you didn’t play diablo 2, so you wouldn’t understand 🙂

Hi. Breathe air. (God created all things. Jesus, his son, and his unbreakable red blood, died to forgive us of every wrong deed. He was resurrected 3 days later.)

Really like your take here.

Did you play diablo 2?

Diablo IV Beta is for Betas.

More or less the same take I have on the game, it seems good overall and the cinematics/voice acting are fantastic. My only real qualm with the game so far is exactly what Asmond said about it being overly punishing for melee, some classes feeling too weak early on and also the evade/dodge function is terrible because it locks you into the attack animation before it tries to execute the dodge which just feels clunky and slow. Getting hit in wearbear animations while trying to dodge and dying to easily avoidable effects was seriously enraging, especially after playing so much POE and Lost Ark.

Isn’t that what WoW is? The same dungeons over and over again?

Inb4 you have to pay for everything

lets hope the end game is Lit ! :3 great vid :3

Can you please stop taking I’m trying to listen to the birds

Appreciate your honest opinion of the game. I’m still on the fence of weather. I’m gonna get it yet Thought about getting it so I could play the Beta but I just didn’t have time. I am one of those very casual players that I work kind of makes it a little tough to get in and play

hopefully it’s less complicated then diablo 3 because that game made no sense on what to do after the campagne

is he in a tree fort?

I hope they make some effort on the soundtrack. That Diablo 1 soundtrack ranks as my #1 of all time. Not only does it bring back nostalgia from playing that first game when I hear it now, at the time it sunk me DEEP into the feel of the game while playing it. Holy crap it was good.

Blizzard was at one time my favorite BACK in the day with Diablo and the first 2 warcraft games on PC .. Spent so much time on those games… Have liked every diablo game minus mobile (never played it) 4’s beta was fun but the wow th classes are so unbalanced lol

I really like the game.

I love it, but the story is worse than Cain dying to the world’s dumbest villain hmmmmmm……

Pvp is most improtant aspect for me why grind play to not fight each other factions etc

Amazing

I dig the genuine take and the single cut, but with all those sirens in the background it sounds like some real stuff is going down. Are you being invaded? Was there some sort of chemical plant explosion or hostage negotiation? When I get to the end of the video I’m checking CNN. Of course, click like, then check CNN. Of course. 😉

That was me too RED WIZARD 4 LIFE bro lol

I find D2 to be closer to Gauntlet than PoE. You can get through pretty much everything with no or very little gear if you’re clever. Both PoE and D3/D4 are absolutely reliant on gear. You’re never going to see parties go through either game without items equipped as it’s simply not possible.

D4 feels a lot like 3 in that it’s seemingly less snappy as 2. Maybe you were talking strictly itemization.

Amazing video

couldnt play beta but was watching alot of streamers ofc, lowkey seems giga <3

As someone who has been playing the diablo franchise since literal day 1. bought the game day 1 upon release and even went and bought it got the playstation 1 just to have it. Diablo 4 is just an ugly ugly ugly game so far. the beta was less than mediocre at best. Its nothing more than a Diablo immortal clone and it shows. the cinematics are terrible the voice acting is terrible the character animation in game is terrible just looking at characters running motion makes me laugh. at one point during a cinematic there was literal pixelated blood. literally boxed blood on the ground in 2023 we have pixelated box blood. the dungeons were very copy and past and going into a dungeon on one side of the map looked exactly like the dungeon you did on the complete opposite which made dungeon crawling very very very boring and just not fun. when you were playing the game and it was day time it looked like night time and night time didnt look like night time it looked the same. just one big grey area with weak snow effects. i really hope when the game is released they fix pretty much everything. other wise this will be just one big fuck you and disrespectful to real diablo players.

this was well said lvling doesn’t feel good but maybe it was intentional, and they wanted the public to test the skills so they could somewhat tune the classes before launch address any issues like with mele and bugging quest nps just qol things and the game will be a lot better. I would have liked to see people be able to enjoy a random build and still be able to complete content just will be harder than a more fine-tuned build this would be user friendly. this would also make the small gold cost to re spec to be nothing as u don’t need to re spec to do the content only to do a harder difficulty and at that point of completing the first set of content should u have a choice to re spec at a lower cost this slows power creep and everyone having a cookie cutter build that they looked up on reddit while not locking u in completely.

I also used barbarian and mele on some the harder enemies was really annoying. I could only get one hit in and then I would have to dash away right away For the entire fight

This is very well spoken.

So this game is not revolutionary but the melee combat is the most satisfying ARGP combat i’ve ever played and that’s enough for me to dive back into Hell.

Looks an plays just like 3 I’m out.

Great overview

Why is your top lip so high?

Why is he outside, does he want to die?

Whenever a content creator titles a video “My HONEST thoughts” I always wonder “are they implying they are not honest all the time?”

As someone who played Diablo 1, 2, and 3 and the Beta. Your rating was way to high, I leveld all 5 charcers to 16, 16, 21, 23 and 25. I was onlay played 2 days since the first day I spent way more time waiting in que than playing due to the unreliability of the servers. The second day I spent more days running out of dungeons due to my own stupidity. The game could become boring very shortly. Even with the rumored seasons and additions the game would leave a lot to be desired. The respects has been suggested that they will be limited forcing you to have to start over a new character. What has happened to a once great company who now makes games way worse then most Indie games. Could it be CCG, they do a great job withh POE. why do they presist in ruining Diablo 4.

The funny part about build guides in PoE is they’re mostly trash lmao

I was pleasantly surprised by the Beta. Nothing more, nothing less. I played D2 and D3 a bunch, so had my fair share of fun with it. And after the start I kinda couldn’t stop playing the Beta and kept until they very last minutes. Not the worst sign tbh, can’t remember having that much fun at a beta…

This is first time to se asmangold outside of house

omg asmon you look realy good with your hair like that you should 100% roll with it

like beta was for 4-5 days and ended yesterday, how he made an opinion before playing it ? 8 days video upload.

Man bro love you but damn your face is super unfortunate

First of all, well done on a single take, beautiful review of Asmongold, it’s a real pleasure to listen..
Diablo 4’s story seems compelling, especially with cutscenes, so that might make it worth a try, it’s fun enough and animations, combat are nicely done. But the game feels way too predictive, it’s too easy. I have played enough Diablo Immortal to know that diablo 4 is based on it, or rather the other way around, and that one is more of a brainless effort. Although music and environments are really nice, they have tried to make them more impactful, so you would feel more constricted, kind of like in diablo 1. But somehow even though Diablo 1 was way simpler, in terms of skills and customizations, it was still a much harder game, it sent shivers down your spine and was much more interesting. One thing that developers do in the newer games is, they provide you with all the ease, you can’t REALLY learn from your own mistakes, I mean, one thing with bosses they could have done is, remove the circles where the boss will impact, and have another detail that you would notice, because you became more mindful with actually being hit. So much of diablo 4 is still automatism, except fighting a bear in the woods, because it hits hard, and because it hits hard you will absolutely make an effort to be more careful, oh yeah, one more thing.. health and health potions, you start with 4 and as you use them they are dropped with the mobs you kill, so very easy to stay on top health and most of the time you will have and keep 4, just like it is in diablo immortal, I had really wished they learned from their collective past, all the way down to Blizzard in its infancy, but unless the game expands beyond beta, I seriously doubt it will keep people and attract the true fans or veterans of the franchise.

Funny how you went from melee to ranged and had more fun, for me it was the opposite I always start with sorc or some sort of mage but when I tried barb I had way more fun.

I played open beta D4. Its fucking boring man

let me guess…IT SUCKED.

This 9:14 . I play Marauder (Juggernaught) in POE, but I won’t play Barbarian in D4. Especially after playing sorceror in the open beta weekend.

I just don’t need to make a game less enjoyable for myself because of a character aesthetic.

I don’t really see many people mentioning this but I can’t stand the fact that I can’t look at item stats without picking things up first. With how much loot you get in these games I really don’t wanna be picking up every single thing just to see if it’s better than what I have.

I played the original Diablo on PS1 as a kid with my dad and REALLY loved it. Got Diablo 2 on my PC when I was a high school freshman and I no lifed the hell out of that game. Took some time off before revisting a few years later when in college. To me Diablo 2 was the pinnacle of an ARPG. Diablo 3 launches and I had fun playing it but once you beat the game a few times I just had no desire to return to it. And I think a large portion of that was that it wasn’t Diablo 2. I was a lot older when I played Diablo 3 but wanted that same emotional connection I had to Diablo 2 as a teenager and I really think that wasn’t fair of me as a consumer. To this day I still dabble with Diablo 2 (Resurrected anyways) but I’m really going into Diablo 4 looking at it like it’s it’s own game and not some long awaited fulfillment of what I wanted Diablo 3 to be as a young adult. I don’t think any game will ever feel the same way Diablo 2 did as a kid, doesn’t mean it’s a bad game though, so I hope I can give it it’s fair due.

“I thought it was a wasp, but it was just one of those stupid things.” — I died, LOL. I don’t know why that’s so damn funny.

thumbs up for this video. nicelly done!

Diablo 3 on PS4 i enjoyed about 1000 hours of game play. My first impressions of Diablo 4 on PS5 beta is that the game slowed down a number of times. The gems took one space in the chest, it was wasting my chest space for weapons. Thirdly, I could not figure out to repair my weapons. Fourth problem, my health could not generate with time. I wasted my time going back to the healer in the village to heal my character. Another problem, the screen was so dark, at times I could not see what was going on in the mines. Another problem that I picked up items during my adventure, and it did not show on my list. Concerned with game play and now Im worried about the preorder I made, was premature.

I love you man

Personally I like the simplicity of Diablo vs POE. While I do enjoy PoE up to some extent, I find teh crafting, gear switching to be too troublesome. I tenbd to not change my gear often because I dont want to have to change my gems all the time. Its too annoying.

I thought it was a review but it turned out to be one of those stupid things.

So, i personally didnt like diablo 3, it felt like too much of a departure from the diablo 2 I loved.

Diablo 4 is like, a real nice middle ground.

Diablo 2 wasnt that complex, either, in my opinion, skill builds mattered, but the talk of simply clicking and ending an enemy was probably more presient in diablo 2. A lot of the classes had moves that could essentially be room sweepers, and diablo 2 had HUGE amounts of enemies at some points. Diablo 4 doesn’t have the sheer numbers of enemies that D2 does (from what I seen so far)

but that also makes sense. Original d2 was sprite-based. D4 is full on 3d models. the game would chug if they had d2 numbers of monsters, i think.

I think its the simplicity, that i can sit down, blow up some evil demons, get some fat lewt for a few hours , then go chill and do something else is what made D2 approachable and enjoyable for me.

And I feel that again in D4. D3 was just way too different to me.

My opinion doesnt matter not much but beta felt average, bland at times, a washed down version of D3, 6/10. Nothing jumped out worth the day 1 price tag.

all this guy dose is moun and cry

dude i knew diablo 4 reminded me of an arcade game… it was fucking GAUNTLET from the arcade machine days. thank you for that insight, i couldnt figure out where the nostalgia was coming from. cant wait to play more. plus it drops on my birthday 😀

you shouldnt give game reviews

Bro cut your neckbeard I’m surprised you’re not rocking a unibrow also. Lol

d4 is garbage plain and simple why? they turned d4 to a console game for controller kids, rehashed d2 with a cash shop so they can milk your money, paid cosmetics? battle pass? its a mobile game for PC and I will not support this scam system. This garbage pissed me off so much I unsubbed WoW and uninstalled WoW clients followed by d4 refund. Enough of this foolishness.

nice review by asmon, i agree too with the end game stuff. I hope there are allot of cool bosses to farm for legendary gear that’s hard to get or something.

D3 was gauntlet. Like nearly 100%

Are we in the Asmon club tree house, here?

He almost seems human when he’s talking directly into a camera in natural sunlight.

I think it gets a 5/10. It feels like a side-grade from D3. Nothing new to see here, folks. I’m not paying for this nor do I intend to waste my time.

I think the consensus is barbarian sucks and youre right

PoE is complicated for the sake of being complicated.

Finally a level headed review.

Diablo 3 = 💩… Diablo 4 = 💩 X 2. Torchlight is better…

Once I saw that the game basically became WoW or Runescape after the main tutorial levels kinda put me off, I played Diablo 2 but not 3, so I am not sure if this was in 3, but I am not a fan of the idea. This just feels like Diablo WoW edition, I can’t see this not turning into a Pay-To-Win nightmare, and people just paying to upgrade and just destroying all the bosses before you get to them and taking the loot.

Gauntlet was the shit.

the fact that you can play open beta but then have to wait 2 and a half months for release???? what the fuck….
I would just pre order and then refund it. like the rewards are shit anyway.

Word of advice, do not pre-order and wait a little bit after the game releases, just to avoid paying 69.99 Euros for a empty game. I am a Diablo fan, but now after the Beta, I am really worried. I have a feeling that the game is pretty rushed up. Sincerely I am a little bit sad after the Beta.

For me I’m used to first person games like destiny1/2 dark souls/Elden ring cod E.T.C so Birds Eye veiw games aren’t really my thing but it is a fun game tho and the beta isn’t that bad 😊😊

I’m not a real gamer but I play Diablo 3 with my husband. We really liked Diablo 4. Are there other RPG for 2 player like Diablo?

I’m kind of curious about why you had less fun after Reaper of Souls. Reaper of Souls and loot 2.0 patch saved the game for me. Loved the new environment and bosses, legendaries and end game used to be trash before loot 2.0 I felt like

Diablo 4 is an expansion to Diablo Immortal

I wanted a better diablo 3 and I got another Lost Ark. 🤢🤮 Bots are going to be an issue I guarantee it so good luck doing events.

Good to see asmon outside, a lot of positive energy in this

ATTENTION ARPG GAMERS – Go play Last Epoch. Great dev team, they keep the game updated, multiplayer just went live… Takes the BEST parts for D2 and PoE and puts it into a single game. Don’t give Blizzard money, trust me. I have about 15k+ hours in d2, 1k hours in PoE, and several hundred hours across a few other ARPGS… This is the next best thing. Blizzard is a cash-grab, you have to pay $100 for their “Good” version of the game, Blizzard will cashgrab you, don’t buy. Support small devs! 🙂

The dev’s have confirmed drop rates were massively increased for the beta and you won’t be getting gear so easily at release

Gauntlet legends on Dreamcast I remember playing for hours and it def gives those vibes I liked the beta so far and think I will get it but final fantasy comes out also that month lol

Totally agree on the MMO aspect. I’m not a WOW player, never have been and don’t plan to ever pick up wow. D4 will give me that MMO aspect with it and that is exciting for me.

I appreciate how you compared D4 to Gauntlet and PoE to D2. I agree there’s nothing wrong with it being like that. Not every game in every genre has to re-define the genre or be the new absolute best in every aspect of that genre. I thoroughly enjoyed the beta, and though I’ve heard/read a lot of complaining about feeling weak in multiplayer with lower level players, I personally enjoy the scaling aspect so you can play with people rather than crush everything instantly for them, because then nobody is having fun.

Asmongold…The moment you say you didnt play diablo 2 this review is not really acurate. In other words Diablo 3 was a mess. Wonder about PD2 community and Path of diablo community. I think overwall, nobody understands the real essence of Diablo2 was never anywhere to be seen in 3 and further away from 4, Name me one core thing that they kept from d2

Game: 9.5/10

So here’s just an idea. One thing completely missing from all these games is skill combos. Just as an example, what if you dropped a meteor into a blizzard and it turned the blizzard into a fire storm or the blizzard turns the meteor into an icy comet. Or maybe you could detonate your ball lightning with chain lightning or fireball. Maybe you could use an attack while leaping as barb to make it do more. Or have druid spells do different stuff WHILE transformed. I think there’s a huge opportunity here.

including Barb. Lunge/Upheaval/Thorns Barb was really fun.

Great video , very smart , could watch this guy talk all day . Great Job !!!

Its Diablo. Its a mindless beautiful gear grinding game. Its not gonna change ur life. Just enjoy it.

Holy shit, Asmon got some sun. Lol

I was let down with the character customization honestly, I really enjoy that part

I loved this review, I played barb too but felt the same about having to chase. I played rogue melee with the double dash ability so with good time I had three dashes/dodges and it felt great. Switched to necro since I played necro in d3 to paragon 446ish and it felt really good with the DoT abilities with summons but definitely won’t be as broken as the summoner build in d3 with the army of the dead ability span and op summons. Excited for the game to release, but also very worried about it’s longevity with the simple ability system and weird itemization

As a casual scrub who plays Diablo # and ARPGs in general with my wife for a couple hours here and there, no min/max, never even run a dungeon, never beat more than two levels of a season journey… and still playing the same game on repeat for a DECADE now… I appreciate the low-mid levels of complexity in games that lets us pick something up and play it without having to remember a hundred things we were doing two and a half weeks ago the last time we played. Let the complexity increase toward end-game content, so those of us who never bother to reach that level of content can still enjoy a simple, clean, incredibly well-designed, but casual game. I’m absolutely certain that levels 75+, 100+ will become much more complex. Lead players into it, though, so those of us who are average skill gamers can still enjoy a game that 1337 gamers can enjoy on a whole other level.

I’m glad I am not the only one who actually liked D3 before RoS. It was a little hard getting the correct gear for the character you were currently playing, but it was preferrable compared to loot-splosion D3. D3 could have been fixed without the way they did loot 2.0 and essentially changed the entire theme of playing the game. D4 looks prettier and seems to have a better sense of storytelling (compared to RoS only having readable scrolls), but the gameplay seems to suffer from being the same as D3 just slower.

What makes PoE better than D3 end game? I will see what your verdict on this game is when the full game is released and there is end game content to judge, not gonna expend 70+ on a game that lasts for 3 days as you said or an “improved” version of D3 either.

YOU GOT PARANGON 100???!!?? That’s so not impressive at all

Diablo 2, and Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction was my favorite. Diablo 3 was cool at first but got bored of it after awhile.

Have to disagree. Diablo 4 act 1 was way better for me. Much more mature writing and way bigger stakes already

8.5/10 is way too high. I’d be struggling to give it a 6/10. There’s a bit of flexibility in character creation but not so much that you will ever get something truly unique.

Just finished the beta weekend with my necromancer. The beta was fun and I’d give it an 8/10, mainly because the difficulty just wasn’t there, and I’m kinda bummed there isn’t a crusader but it’s only act 1 and things can change after release so I’m trying not to be too critical. I hit level 25, did probably 95% of the dungeons, finished Act 1, & did all 3 strongholds. The only boss that gave me problems was the Den Mother at the end of light’s watch as it was super tough to zone the boss. Once I got corpse explosion and the few legendary items which removed blood mists cooldown and added a corpse explosion nuke mechanic I was literally crushing everything I literally cleared the whole Kor Dragan courtyard with one bloodmist. If I had too pick my favorite thing about the Beta it would be that the game feels a little more alive with the MMO aspects. While I appreciate the loneliness/bleak nature of Diablo it’s nice having co-op plus 10 other players raiding a massive event or boss.

Thank you Asmongold.

When D3 was dog shit this D4 is fucking awesome cross play with friends on all systems the crafting system the skill tree is great D4 has got me back into playing Diablo again I can’t wait for it too come out ik something can change but it being open world is dope as fuck

Its online only so its a no for me.

How much you get paid to say the beta is 8.5 haha. It’s like 7 at best, nothing new or innovative what so ever. Super simplistic skill trees, massively unbalanced classes. Stuttery as fuck when moving between zones or when players come onto your screen. Game felt closer to a mobile game than a PC game. It’s gonna be a DLC, battle pass cash grab from the predators at Activision blizzard as usual. If you ain’t played diablo before and really want the experience just play diablo 3.

10 years of development and 1 year of replayable content

I must be one of the few people remaining that thought d3 was trash at launch and still trash now. Cant wait for 4.

It’s 3, skinned like 2. Honestly the beta saved me some good money. The difference in story is nice, cause you wana know what happens.. but the gameplay is the same.
Also, they are banking on multiplayer too much. We don’t need a mmorpg. Very repetitive.
Their in-game cinematics are as old looking as starcraft2 lol

Voice-acting, its beautiful.

Necromancer combat is op lol

Asmon is a smart guy. I like him much more this way then when he exaggerate all the time.

In terms of endgame. Won’t know till it comes out. But (I’m pretty sure anyways) that raids are confirmed :))

Wtf is this? Who is this guy? Whoever it is almost pulled it off but unfortunately he accidentally combed his hair and put in a real shirt without stains and the biggest give away that it’s a deep fake, he’s outside…

i like how asmon goes outsides just sits and talked about it in one sitting getting it out there

Good video. One big thing though. Lot of comparisons between PoE or D3 that have been out for 10+ years vs a game that’s in beta and barely a full chapter 1…. Just not even remotely fair comparisons. Unless we compare it to those games when they were in beta…. Pretty sure this would win 😂 but really.
This is D4! There’s gonna be a lot and a lot to come I’m sure. They know the fans, they know what they want and don’t want from D2-D3/Di… they’re gonna make a great game. Regardless of what anyone is saying “online” everyone is playing it and having a blast. Period. Of course there’s concerns and speculations and all that, but let’s have some benefit of the doubt thinking with bliss that they’ve learned some good lessons and gonna give us a game we want and love and will keep playing.
Even if it’s not perfect at launch… what game is these days 😂. PoE when it launched was nothing like it is now. Many changes over many years and. So let’s enjoy whatever may come and give positive feedback for future things and ( hopfully) watch it grow into something amazing ^_^

And yes I’ve played them all from the beginning. Since D3 had a RM auction house and PoE was in beta and D1 on my laptop when I was 10. We’ve come a long way and even if it’s not the end all game, I think we’ll all have a lot of fun for a long while. 🤞 sry if I ranted, but I’m so sick of all the negativity everywhere! Ppl play this all weekend and have a blast and then shit all over it…. It’s a beta, you loved it and it’s gonna be great (hopefully 😂)

I think it’s just same old stuff, better graphics. Not something I would buy maybe when it’s on sale.

diablo 3 was already the simplified version of the ARPG genre and d4’s beta has been mind numbing for me, less skills, minimal incentive to care about leveling, it feels like an autoclicker slugfest.

absolute had the same problem with the barbarian had to switch to jump attack and aoe to have some fun

Damn. Wish he was my uncle.

they need to add the system like in lost ark. dungeons, raids, dramatic moments. with the diablo lore, would be fantastic

hair looks so much better like this 👍

Im just waiting to the moment wil (and it will happen) ruin the game

I reached Paragon level 700 in D3 on Nintendo Switch. I personally did not enjoy D4 open beta. I absolutely HATE the fact that it’s online. I want to play solo, stop forcing me to MMO experience. The story is not memorable. The side quests are even worse. The only good thing is the art design. Over, D4 is just OK. That’s it.

Endgame is always big concern, i love diablo 2 original and ressurected, but endgame there is what makes u quit the game and go look for something else, its way too repetitive and ultimately meaningless. Doing same zones for same items on which roles warry upon identification is fun only for so long.

Best video for your time and follow the world earning

My dad got me into diablo, we played the first and second on pc, he bought us both diablo 3 on ps4 🙂 he used to send me shit all the time.. We got diablo 2 remake soo much fun!! We both loved it. He unfortunately passed away suddenly few years back and told my mum to make sure I got a ps5 when I could finally get my hands on one in UK.. I feel like diablo 4 is my dad’s ‘star wars’ movie he was going to miss, the date was announced right after, as much as I am looking forward smashing this game for years it’s got a kinda sadness with it too, I just know he’s be asking to borrow my ps5 every night to play it haha just know he’d be pissed off I just play as a barbarian like I always have hahaha

After open beta, im buying it 100%, cant change my mind on that. At first i really wanted it to have KBM on consoles (especially since u can use controller on pc, which is a slap to the face for console players) but it plays very good with controler. Only flaw would probably be sorc teleport. Beta was huge, it was only act 1 and there was SOOOO much to do, couldnt even max main story or do all side quests / content before hitting 25. Which is abit scary, i mean possibly hitting max lvl before completing campaing seemes weird to me (coming from mostly d2 player). But yeah, game is huge, alot to do, and i like it.

Love the nuanced analysis. More of this 🔥

How about monetization? -Can I just pay once and all is unlocked without having to pay anything more?

It’s weird how we are all looking at thoughts/opinion videos about D4, knowing we will all play it and get addicted to it either way xd

1.2millions view OMG whos this Guy ?

Awesome loved it

This will be my first Diablo game. I had a lot of fun playing the beta, and I’m interested in how the story plays out. That cutscene with the priest was so brutal and one of the sidequests shocked me – the man who runs off into the forest with a woman and you help his wife (I think?) find him and when you do, oh boy was that something 😅 I want more quests like those. I’m looking forward to the release, though!

Very nice video

A really good take. I tried path of exile and enjoyed it but I did not have the time to put into it. Diablo was something I could play with the time I had.

Its way better than 3 atleast
I was underwhelmed for the first hours…..but now i am in love already lol.
D3 sucks compared to 4

Freudian slip at 1:40 Diablo4 was not meant to be (as) complex (as Diablo 2).

Diablo is a cookie clicker

You look and seem unexcited. Considering the price tag, sure, sounds and graphics and voice acting ought to be an 8 or 9. But it seems you are counting to 10 all the time, you are trying hard NOT to say it, you do not want to be seen to be negative. But you are bored, unexcited and disinterested. Which is my impression of this game too. OK if you have a fat wallet and want to spend money on a new “D3 expansion”, aka “D4”, but it is not a new game, there is no “Windforce” to be found, it is a mini-WoW in a D3 shell.

Why would you buy and play D4 if you already have played D3? Outside of being a new game with new areas and quests, there is nothing “new” there. It looks and feels like D3. It is D3. And itemisation is boring, “2% extra of this” and “5% extra of that”, there is no “WOW, look what I just got” factor of Diablo 2.

Diablo IV Devs, pay attention please…. This ☝🏻

Dudes… Where Asmongold is living? Looks like in suburbs, but sounds like Midtown Manhattan

You know why it doesn’t feel like D2 or even D3? Because it hasn’t got extraordinary music or voice acting. Especially in D2 or even in D1 there was this amazing narrator and the music, that just kept me wanting to open the game and keep playing, even after a long time. D4 is great graphics, but its not good enough. After beta I’d rather go and play D2 again tbh.

Also in D4 I can barely see all enemies I’m engaging, like half of them just appear out of nowhere in middle of the fight. This could get especially annoying in HC mode.

Definently its extra ordinary vedio

I started with Diablo 3, loved a couple of playthroughs. This past year I fell in love with D2r. After the Beta I don’t see myself purchasing D4. Hoping Last Epoch pulls through,

Time to upgrade the tree fort!

At 41, this is first Diablo I’ve put effort into outside of a free trial of the original I got on Windows in 1998. I’m enjoying it so far, but I’m also in that spot between Elden Ring and the next Zelda where I’m looking for something new. Not sure if I’m ready to put down the money for the full purchase tho. EDIT: I will say the lag I experienced today was a giant problem.

looks like you took a shower is every thing ok…

Is it just me or is Zack looking way healthier? He looks like he putting some good weight on him and his face and hair look clear and clean. it almost looks like he’s hitting the gym

They should have made it third person and left the overhead view behind

Dsync you got a hair cut?

Are you 20 or 40? honestly cant tell

I think we’ve all been copped out to be honest… from what I’ve played i reckoned d4 to be rather bland, slow, repetitive, has a good story but side quests are just uninspiring…. exploration is great with liliths statues but it’ll get bland after a while once they’re all found … … I just don’t think it’s worth the hype and its hefty price , should be introduced to gamepass or reduced to old/indie game prices £30-40 standard or £60-70 deluxe….

After a long day at work, I just want to logon and kill crap and not think about complex builds

Как же необычно видеть дорого Мистера Asmongold в такой обстановке, я правда не знаю английский, но речь очень приятна😁👍

dude Gauntlet 2014 is so awesome. Its gameplay loop is far more satisfying and complex than any Diablo or PoE.
Tho it doesn’t have the whole item loot grind that people somehow love in ARPGs. And there’s no builds either.

I like this version of asmon 😊

I’ve never really played ARPGs before (mostly CRPG) and now having tried them I have to say this is boring as hell. Running around smashing tree trunks and rocks then occasionally playing a game of “watch the timers” to use powers on cooldown to fight some enemies. Is this all there really is to this genre? I lasted 2 hours and couldn’t take any more. Best of luck to those who like it.

From what I’ve experienced, the only issues I’ve had to deal with is invisible walls rubberbanding and only 1 time coming across an error when I’m trying to log in and 1 crash. Other than that obviously I’ve only done 1 class and that’s necromancer and it’s really broken but outside of that the combat is very fun. The bosses have been challenging which is what I expect even on adventure mode. Overall I have to agree with everything he said that is about the core game play

I feel like it’s maybe worth 29.99$ at most and I feel PoE has more to offer at this point but will see
Now mind you I was playing diablo 1 before D2 was out and my first gaming pc build was for D2 in 2000 (ya I’m old)
but for me D3 was a fail that we had to wait 10+years for but we wont get into that haha

NGL hair looks good put up like that

I’ve been finding some really cool items that actually completely change how the character plays

Button bashing mania. Lv 20, in beta. Bored to death. Environment interactions are so basic it’s insulting.

Good video

there is absolutely nothing wrong with d4 being simple and poe being the complex one in the family. I think people get bent out of shape because they want it to be something that it isn’t — my self included. I would like an updated d2 that had the depth and complexity of poe with the polish and style of a good diablo game. but poe2 may be exactly what i am want, so d4 will be what it will be.

It’s so good!

Oh man I fuckin loved gauntlet 🖤

How did you get to 50? I can barely get three levels before I get booted off and having to start over

Rakanishu! Colenzo! Cant touch this, nephalem! 😀

Great video with interesting observations.

As a wow player im sure you enjoyed it. People running ahead of me killing the monsters. No way to turn it off.

You seem like a casual.
Diablo 3 players are all console/casuals. Nobody in their right mind enjoyed that disgusting piece of shit game.
There are multiple reasons as to why.

Your take on diablo 2 being complex like POE is the farthest thing from the truth, D2 is 2/10 complexity wise and poe is a solid 10/10 complexity wise, which ruins the game.

I have 8,000 hours in diablo 2. I’ve played it every week at least twice and when diablo 3 came out i played it , rushed thru campaign in like 3 hours and returned the game to EB games, because it fucking sucked. There was zero builds, its all armor which isnt a build its a piece of gear which should complement your build NOT make the entire fucking build. They literally removed ALL player choice from the game so that it would appeal to people who are brain-lets and cannot make decisions for themselves, and have to use these guides to remove the only fun part of an ARPG, looting gear, and examining it, crafting a build yourself was one of the core parts of these games. I never watch you because you seem to speak on things you have absolutely zero and i mean zero knowledge on.

I tried really hard to finish your video, but when you saId act 1 in diablo 3 was good I burst into tears laughing and had to write this, which took me about 5 minutes to write this sentence because of how much I had to stop to laugh. Literally braindead.

Well said mate. Yet to play the beta but you are spot on with d3 being boring and repetitive for end game.

DOA

another SCAM game.

8.5??? Joker or Paid

8.5? I desagree, maybe 2.5.

8.5 or above is Elden Ring level.

d4 so far are kinda borring. but lets see on release

grimmerjan

Two months till this comes out
Play Last Epoch!!!
So good

tnx

I agree with Asmongold about legendary item stats being kind of meh. But I also think this is not a simple issue. Because didn’t a lot of the power creep problem of D3 come from those godly items? I want items to be fun, but at the same time not make you do billions of damage. I hope they can solve this out.

thanks for not giving us your dishonest thoughts.

its corny as hell d3 type game for kids if u like enemies scaling with u and “item power level” and things like that. I wont be buying it

Asmon: Melee fights are bad. Runaway mobs are annoying af. COMBAT 10/10

Ok there, bud.

You are spot when you said they scaled the game up too quickly after you escaped the village. I loved the subverted trope where the village that you were trying to protect was actually out to get you but kinda got overwhelmed when you got into the first city. The jump was kinda jarring.

8.5 is an incredible score to me, but to you it’s “not incredible” at an 8.5 ok dude.

Blizzard butters your bread, we all know it. It’s ok to shill just admit you’re in bed with ’em, this game is much much worse than 8.5, come on now. This is some serious sponsored shit.

POE is the only arpg worth a shit, this game is pay for 4 day early access win BS.

You should play diablo 2

Cokhain in a hell of a drug! Good video!

Is Decard Cane in the game still ?

Wow you look clean , good job.

I’m disappointed in D4 , I don’t think blizzard had fallen back to D2 and made it the base point of expansion. Personally I’m disappointed they didn’t take D3 in a more competitive way , new lands and characters, new spells and weapons. I hate to think that they rereleased D2 in order to walk players backwards in playability and cleanse the taste of D3 reaper of souls from their palette, D4 feels like D2 without most of its flaws but falls way short of D3

Its so bad 😂 diablo 3 was better

i though you where cgi from diablo 4, but you wherent

The fact that you have to compare games to PoE in terms of how good of a aRPG they are means PoE is essentially a standard. I don’t think people understand how crazy it is that PoE is a standard for aRPG’s and….its free. $70 is a price tag that demands it not be ‘pretty’ good or even a little better than PoE. It has to be ground breaking and I don’t think it is.

Barbarian = N00b

I dont want a D2… I’m fine with resurrected, but yeah I had higher expectation since blizzard made it rly juicy for the d2 joes

Asmongold is looking well kempt! 🙏

It’s Improved version of Diablo Immortal Mobile game. Game is total bullshit.

It’s time to let go of the ragged second hand mop strings on your head dude

10:40 mamma stared you to death

Blizzard cinematics were better than industry standards back in the day because they made a point to recruit a TON of film school students from the graduating classes of 2003-2006. It’s was brilliant and took years for everyone to catch up.

if you only play a game for story/cutscenes then it might have been just a single player game xD

really liking the hair tied up like that! looks good man

Good vibes and peaceful. So cool bro !

Well Any game that goes the route of “my costumers do not have brains for a complex game” do not get my money.

Quite interesting information and for many very important. Thank you.

Ahh the good old days of Gauntlet, i used to play as Blue Valkyrie on Atari 2600 LOL

I FUCKING LOVED GAUNTLET

I agree with pretty much all of your insights here. I too am concerned that the level of customization, build specialization, and that sense of a accomplishment of progressing toward a build’s end-state may be lacking or short-lived. I would probably still come back and do seasons, even if it did wind up that way, but instead of doing 2 weeks+ of season play, it would likely be more like a single weekend.

just looks like a mobile port.

Nice video sir

If you have a 3080 ti made by Gigabyte the cutscences can brick your GPU recommend at least setting an FPS limit and keeping a close eye on GPU temperatures

if he played diablo 2 he would be saying harder games are always better

I agree with you on a lot but no one is playing gauntlet anymore yet people still love Diablo 2 enough that it needed a remaster with seasonal updates. Diablo 4 being gauntlet won’t be good enough.

Blizzard had better take note with the dungeons. They need to completely revamp. Keys and backtracking shouldn’t be in dungeons. Also side quests like touching statues. Nope. Please get rid of these tongue in cheek filler quests.

What about this stupid enemy level scaling, that is a real turn-off for me. I’m so afraid this will turn out just like Lost Ark.

I enjoy this video format. It’s like tea time with Asmongold. All in one take. More of this please, and thanks for the info.

Omg he goes outside! Love the video. The more videos I watch the more I am a fan.

I’m glad he got a haircut but WHAT is going on with the back of his head at the beginning?

more than likely, because the beta is an older version of d4, and one modded specifically for the beta, the story is progression isnt what well see in the final product. probably intentionally escalating quickly to give more to players in a shorter time. I thinkt he full game will have players unlocking their first waypoint in the starting town and working through many missions towards the main hub.

I’m so used to hearing planes that before he mentioned it I just assumed it was irl

Had to pause the video to acknowledge the “I thought it was a wasp, but is one of those stupid things”.

Is the BETA a long playthrough?

can we all take a moment to say that asmon actually cleans up really well with his hair up?

There is a lot of stuff behind Paragon level that can affect the build

d2 had mad longevity..

Daddy delivers once again

As for the itemization, I thought I would like it, until I found out something important. You can only transfer a legendary property ONE time. After it has been moved to an item, it’s done. Can’t take it off THAT item to move to a new one. How many memes do we need about players hoarding potions, wands, etc, for using ‘eventually’ before this becomes blatantly clear? If I know that a particular legendary only goes from 21% to 30%, and the odds of getting a 28-30 is exceptionally small (like 1.5% total between all of those ranks), and that the item has a 0.5% chance of dropping IF you get a legendary to begin with? Simple math, man. We know that this means getting a 28+ will happen 0.0075% of the time, thus you will need over 13 THOUSAND legendary drops to get that amount again.

Result will be players holding onto their good legendary powers forever, because they never actually want to transfer them… so, they will likely end up wearing crap gear forever just to hold onto that one ability.

Now, if they allowed players to transfer the legendary ability infinitely? Players would be comfortable upgrading, finding new gear, etc. I got ahold of a 30% attack speed legendary (all classes, only for basic skills). I found out how powerful that was, and never took that item off. It literally changed the entire game for me, taking me from barely capable of doing certain tasks to being able to solo the Butcher without too many issues. So, will I want to transfer that power, knowing that when I do, it’s done, it’s stuck on THAT item forever more?

Now, imagine seasons, where players will need to farm for these powers and get them onto premium rares that are perfect rolls. They finally find the exact right power with the right amount, and find one of the best items for them. They throw it on. Then, later, find a better rare. Oh well, mistakes are made. Next season, they learn, so they hoard that power, and it collects dust in their storage because they never want to put it on anything.

I see nothing but problems with this system.

They were the gold standard for cinematics, for sure.

Open world aspect really adds nothing to the game except for world bosses. And who really cares about those? As Asmon said the story is way better if you’re this lone survivor maybe with a few people. In D4 this feeling is totally not there.

The way you were talking, it seems like more of a 6.5 out of 10.

This is one of the reason blizzard devs hate him. He can destroy years of work and millions of dollars in 20 minutes or less.

Few points:
Cinematics – Insignificant. They’re cool to watch the first time, then you’re always going to skip them. Not much else to say about it. Won’t make or break it for me at least.
Dungeon mechanics – Too many gimmicks. Krip made this clear in his vid; It’s annoying, it’s not hard, it simply wastes time. Cut them completely. Imagine doing that ALL of endgame..
Mob density – Packs are sizeable, but too far in-between. Too much running to get to them.
Melee – Nothing needs to be said here, chasing mobs is NOT fun.
Balance/scaling – It’s going to be like most recent Blizz games/expansions; you’re never really going to feel overpowered. You’re always going to feel just that bit underpowered, same time to kill, get HUGE upgrade only to have it be outleveled asap. Hopefully I’m wrong here, but something tells me this will feel a LOT like this throughout the game, until you get BiS or close to BiS.

To me they seem to have mmo’fied Diablo, but in the worst way. It looks great, but under the hood it’s basically going to be finding your build, then chasing stat points until the ladder ends. They need to switch things up, this is not innovative.
It’s probably going to be packed with daily quests and checklists of things to do daily, just to bump this daily active player numbers; and none of that is good for the player if done incorrectly.
I think it’s going to be an overbalanced babbys first mmo, you’ll never really feel too overpowered, and you can bet your arse you’re not going to have a broken build – It’ll get fixed asap! It’s just not Blizz to allow broken or overpowered builds these days. Everyone needs to be EXACTLY the same. Again, hopefully I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

So the Rifts from D3 is like Delve from PoE?

IS the whole town in a shootout or something? why is there so insanely much police..?

The Car sounds in the Background i was like why is there a car outside now haha….

hes getting fat. skinny fat. and bald.

Asmon looks cool as hell with his hair like that

Asmongod

I love everything about this video

Why is literally no one commenting on the fact they make trading almost useless. The only things you can trade no one wants or can use. They might as well diablo 3 it and take out trading all together. I don’t get how this is like a mmo with no interactions with other people besides seeing people every now and then for like 3 mins

Diablo 4 looks like Diablo 3 with a new skin obtained from the blizz store

POE is not that complicated. The skill tree has logical progression, the higher stats of expensive gear is how you “win”.

I wish Zack would post more videos

ahahaha Gauntlet! I just talked about this game 2 weekends ago. Damn I’m old man!

His eyebrows are not danceing everytime he leaves the room…..he needs to get out more often lol

complexity does not equal to fun or entretainment. Gameplay is. A game should not be like working… Also Diablo 2 its not complex at all.

wow very nice

You’re far more yourself when you just talk like this to the camera. I have no real interest in playing diablo, but its really enjoyable just hearing your thoughts on where the game(s) are going. You should do more of these types of videos

Thanks for the thorough review

The simple gameplay loop of the current D3 system is what I love. I just got off a work shift, I don’t want to work to have fun

>arpg
>story

I love your honest and openly insightful takes. We need more of this in the community.

PAID SHILL

U look like a serial killer named cleuts 😂

that thing that wasnt a wasp was a Japanese beetle

Can we all just appreciate how happy Zack looks in this video? Great to see!

TBH the reason i clicked on this video was to see Asmond Gold outside.

favorite kind of asmon vids

The truth is I don’t care about Diablo 4 at all. But the way Asmon talks and describes things with is passion is interesting. Makes me want to watch the entire video.

Why I love Asmon: I thought that was a wasp, but it was just one of those stupid things

i feel like they have to make each season unique like season 1 dungeongs maybe season 2 is focused more on doing things like events and new world bosses in the open world they have to add new things and change the loop each season to keep it fresh

Looking like Asmon is quite happy here! Great to see ❤

asmon out here with that balding varian wrynn haircut, banger video as always

Really great commentary man, thanks!

Go play Minecraft

R.I.P Diablo 4. Can’t even press 400 buttons to change specs

You need to play Diablo two dog but the thing is you’re an experienced player so it’s simple to you but to a non-experienced player it wouldn’t be simple

I do not like POE, but I do love diablo 4 , im not even a big arpg fan, I really like diablo 4 open world as well

“Today I’m going to talk about Diablo 4” *birds chirping*

I just wish that it had better character creation. With what it has I think it would be better if it didn’t have any.

I don’t know the aliens replaced the CPU in his head or if he’s just matured, but I really enjoyed this episode. Yeah I used to laugh at some of the earlier videos and found a little humor in it, but it always seemed intentionally dumbed down and kind of irritating. Whereas lately he’s just been connecting on a whole new level and reaching a new audience. Circling back to topics that need to be covered, closing out thought processes, having a bit of a business driven model in the approach, and being more mindful of future views have added to his tool kit for sure.

Honestly I loved POE when I played it. I skipped out on Diablo 3 entirely and I didn’t even go there with Immortal but I was hoping that Diablo 4 was going to be good. Honestly I have the same thoughts as you that the end game could from what you say be boring. They are going to need to make sure there is a good balanced end game otherwise they will lose people after the first season. Also me personally I hope they do more with the talent tree as a whole, it doesn’t need to be as complex as POE but having to use your brain a bit when it comes to builds isn’t and has never been a bad thing.

Thank you for this video!

I love diablo ..
3 was cool I’m playing 2 rn and 4 looks so good

I stopped playing PoE because of its absurd complexity. I get people like that but yeah it wasn’t for me.

Is my man in a treehouse lol?

+1 active hydras was a game changer for me

You know it’s going to be intense when they’re outside touching grass

Thanks for the video and opinion. By the way you are actually gaining weight just please don’t get obese thank you.

I’ve never seen a video of him not joking or not being super hyper. I know that’s the charecter he’s created for YouTube. But how clean and straightforward this video was I’d watch more of his content.

Fucking love the Hair

Just wanted to touch on what kept me playing Diablo 2 for so long.
Building gear sets for different viable builds and reaching new attack speed/cast rate/hit recovery breakpoints for those builds. Hunting down items myself and also stumbling across trades. While hunting items I’d always have my eyes peeled for that proper rolled rare that would slot into one of my many specific PvP builds.
Dueling and trading were great pass times in D2.
Creating flashy looking cosmetic sets that were also PvP viable was awesome too.
PK in style..
Hopefully some or any of this stuff exists in D4

5:10 out of 100?

Just a fun game nothing ground breaking

Complexity is both a good and bad thing. If you need to look up guides and 30 minute videos on 10 different systems the game it has then the game is too complex. If its complex enough that you can figure it out after a few minutes or a hour(depends on how big of an achievement you’re doing) then its fine.

Well I’ll be damned. I was so sure you guys were going to shred D4! WOW! Blindsided by the positivity being that games like diablo are too simple these days compared to say a Elden Ring. Damn guess I need to get some research going. I might be back from Diablo 2. …………… No Paladin tho…………

D7uuuuuuude same annual wow pass here for getting d3 here

Didn’t play Diablo 2? Your opinion is irrelevant sir!

When will you play D2R?

Glad you liked D3 and perhaps D4.. but Blizzard lost its way after D2,, they’ve not done anything good since SC2,, Heros of the storm is great but came out too late.. i’ve played Blizzard games since the lost vikings, and especially D1 and Starcraft.. I have D3 and (played d3) and was sorely disappointed..

i first thought this is zackrawr

Problem is this everyone a winner no one allowed to be bullied for being a garbage player. Need games that understand for someone to be a winner others have to be a loser. Yet these new gen games. Everyone a winner. Dog she he it cash grab games.

I’m happy that D3 players are not enjoying the game. It means it is the correct direction. They are returning to a classic style reminiscent of Diablo 1/2 and D3 only players will simply not get it.

Remember my fellow nerds, this game is still in BETA

The fact that you mentioned Gauntlet…you sir have got a new subscriber

I don’t want PoE as a more casual gamer. I liked the Diablo 4 beta so far… For me, the skill tree was simple to understand but seemed to offer enough variety for me to play around with. At the end of the day it’ll be how they continue to provide support that will determine how long I stay with the game. But I know I’ll get my money’s worth at that’s really the bottom line.

How you have a 20 minute review and no gameplay 😭

it was so underwhelming he went outside

8.5? Yeah no my dude. It’s so fking boring compared to PoE or D2R. Or even D3. It reeks of Immortal.

What happened to your hair now you look like asmonddad

When did he play it? I didn’t know this? Asmon hasn’t gone live in forever?

It’s not fun to get kited lol

w8 for diablo 6😂

Wait for the Necromancher or the Druid 🙂 i feel the same i had much fun 🙂 Hmm oki i know you little Barbarien :p

How was this guys hair short 1 week ago?!

Haven’t played it don’t talk about it. Click to move is outdated dog💩

Nice shirt

“I didn’t play Diablo 2”

I didn’t watch any further in the video.

Jk, but what the hell, my guy. D2 is superior to D3 in oh so many ways.

A genuine thank you, though, for your helpful insight into D4.

At 9:38 when the neighbors show up 🤣

The biggest issue is the fact that you can’t use left click for just movement like in PoE. Accidently clicking an enemy when you need to get out of a situation and just end up attacking is horrible :/

LET blizzard know about the feedback about the UI and the maps and whatever you have concerns about in the beta!! Even tho its a beta not many people give any feedback or bug reports.

The beta was fine. 👍

World in Diablo 4. Roads, paths and walls 😀 How look a village ? Road and walls 😀 and another players you don’t want in the game 😀

the worst game of my life
