Diablo 4 is a brand new upcoming ARPG from Blizzard Entertainment that as of making this video is available to play in beta up to act 1.
Diablo 4 has a lot more MMO Lite features than its predecessor Diablo 3, you’ll see other players out in the world, hanging out in cities, there’s random world events, world bosses and you’re able to form groups as well as participate in PVP.
In this video I go into Diablo 4 completely blind as someone that’s avoided all spoilers, YouTube coverage and information about the game, this is just a first impressions of the beta and some things are likely to change or be improved upon full release
What do you think about Diablo 4 so far? Do you think this game will be ready for full release or does it have a lot of problems it still needs to fix? is it as good as other ARPGs? let me know in the comments below!

Diablo 4 2023 MMORPG Steam Description
HELL WELCOMES ALL
Diablo® IV is the ultimate action RPG experience with endless evil to slaughter, countless abilities to master, nightmarish dungeons, and legendary loot. Embark on the campaign solo or with friends, through beautifully dark settings, or explore a shared world where players can meet in towns to trade, team up to battle world bosses, or descend into PVP zones to test their skills against other players.
HEROES OF SANCTUARY
Create and customize your character to battle onward against the unspeakable horrors that blight this land. Choose from one of five classes, discover and experiment with a vast array of powerful equipment, and carefully select your talents and abilities to become steadfast in the face of darkness. But choose wisely; your world depends on it.
EXPLORE SANCTUARY
Explore Sanctuary – Discover the world of Sanctuary as you battle through its expansive lands. Join fellow adventurers, retake besieged towns, delve into corrupted dungeons, and uncover lost secrets as you fight for the fate of the world.
STRONGHOLDS
Heroic adventurers can clear out Strongholds such as this one, claiming them once again for the citizens of Sanctuary. The town will never be the same, but victory here can leave a lasting mark and transform this hostile region into a safe haven.
PVP
Battles take a turn when you enter PvP zones. Mark yourself as “hostile” and these high-risk, high-reward areas of Sanctuary allow you to take a swing at other players for their valuable loot. But be warned. This also opens you up to being swung at.
LEGENDS OF CREATION
An old legend has it that Sanctuary was created by the union of an angel and a demon, and that their descendants—humanity—built villages, then cities and empires, spreading across the land to form the world’s cultures and civilization.

GORY CORY
Peon…. Mate…. That is not your haicolour…. Mate… don’t do this to me…. come on…..
The my chemical romance bit. Subscribed.
I just pray to god that they don’t plague this game with microtransactions
i was eating at 7:46😂😂😂😢
BEST add intro
“I don’t care about story”… Eeeer… Do you ever play to RDR2 maybe?
The Butcher shouldn’t mess around, he was one of the most iconic bosses from Diablo.
new subscriber here, but bro… when ur reviewing a game u should invest more on other skills and show casing them instead of only upgrading a single skill… im here to learn about the game not how to power level it, i would love to see the skill variety and their visuals…
11min in video and all i see and hear: cool environment, zap lightning, cool cinematic, zap, cool environment, zap and repeat….
I only care about the gameplay and as far as i can see this game is rather poor about it. I think i will stick to Path of Exile and Lost Ark for top down RPG’s, at least they are free to play.
How did this man get 3 legendaries at once at level 11??! I legit gasped when that happened
I really wish these games would just let me move with wasd. Playing the beta I just wanted to move like a normal person and stop spamming to move, feels awful
You call the graphics amazing tho? I mean really.. blizzard games always get this bump on release… but its mediocre on release.. always.
Maybe you should have held down the shift key while attacking ?
Honestly I was disappointed by D4. If you didn’t play any other ARPG, D4 seems fine but the moment you know how other games do certain things better, D4 becomes almost outdated or more unfinished.
Can’t you just move with WASD or the arrow keys?
Also raid is a sell outs sponsor so I’m out.
Ya diablo immortal made for pc. It’s all its gonna be.
Will be fucking awesome, Diablo 3 is good but it felt like its something missing, but IV will be amazing.
I will say this at the risk of sounding stupid but I’ll say it because I’m bored. Diablo 4 looks like an unreal engine game, I believe it’s being made in proprietary engine which makes sense but still I am so tired of games looking like they were made in unreal. I don’t know maybe I’m wrong.
You aren’t planning to pay $70 for this, are you? Don’t give in to the price bump games are trying to get away with.
I noticed on PC it rubber banded like crazy but when I played it on PS5 I had no issues with that at all.
I was excited when heard this was to be released just before my birthday and keen to buy to play with my partner, but then heard it’s only online co-op with no local co-op option. SO disappointed and won’t be buying if that’s the case. 😕
this game its like diablio 2, better to play on gamepad.I was suprised how good the game plays on gamepad.
The story is very important to me then gameplay and combat. I will preorder
well its blizzard they always were known of making the best cut scenes ever and telling a story
I have a feeling that Diablo 4 will be all effed up for the first year just like Diablo 3 was. Once they got rid of all the stuff people hated, it was worth playing. I’m not really that excited to play this on release. These new teams come in and mess up games without even consulting the original Diablo 1 and 2 designers. They just screw everything up.
That character does look a lot like you. Ha ha.
Don’t you hate when a game looks really good but the company behind it it’s so fucked up the thought of giving it money makes you want to throw up, ahhh if we could buy D4 guilty free..
Honestly, after trying the Beta…
(a few weeks ago XD)
The Barbarian isn’t “that” bad… With the right built and with good items can they do quite extreme damage as well as stack bleed into the stratosphere. XD
Of course, Necro and Sorc were straight up OP and I honestly more expect the Necro and Sorc to be nerfed rather than Barbarian being buffed, but that is just me.
Raid: Shadow Legends is really fun game
But it is ultimately pay 2 win which is why i stopped playing it after 6 months of Free to play.
i loved the Necro. If you hold down the left mouse button you will attack it the direction you are facing and you wont move forward
We cam preorder on mobile?
What are your PC specs my guy? Just the basics
I believe if you hold shift while left clicking you stand still while you cast your spells.
hardest difficulty : wolf dies in 2 hits from your starting twig = yeh no thanks
this is a spreadsheet not a game
Absolutely fun. I totally exhausted the beta 😅
Good review. Thanks.
You may recall in Diablo 3 they also had the Butcher. The Butcher was one of the first bosses.
The only way I could kill the Butcher in Diablo 3 was to lock myself inside a cell and then shoot arrows at him.
what 😂
Found it boring as beans, great opening cut scene but that was it..
If anyone has Sony/ LG OLED TV this game will truly shine.
Look like D2 and feel like D3. Same shit over again for the fanboys to spend money on. And I’ll bet anything it will later on turn into Diablo Immortal, pay to win. LOL haha
When will LazyPeon have merch saying Big Damage? or Jumpuh, Niceuh or something? :p
Props to all their artists and sound dudes. F*** all the haters! Every diablo game has been fantastic and YES even the mobile game!. F*** you entitled streamers that play games to try and pay your rent, Get a real job and enjoy this masterpiece of a game!!. Beta was fantastic
Disliked because of raid shadow legends. Sit
It literally says your Beta Journey doesn’t end here. 😂
I am very disappointed. This game was developed for console and I am not prepared for that game style, but already know it is a lot harder to play with keyboard and mouse. Old school Diablo players with mouse+ketboard almost cannot be competitve against players with controller. Refunded and I did not even think to buy it again.
6:48 how he’s just flat out comatose as they wheel him away, COMPLETELY oblivious.. I don’t know why that made me laugh 😂😂
It’s still beta. They made it clear it is a beta so this is testing and feedback. I’m sure the music and that map overlay I’ll be in final product.
Watching you cons it sound like you never played diablo befor this one😂
play it on controller bro >>
world design and graphics too good…absolutely dog shit UI
I personally loved the beta super stoked for release
My biggest complaint about Diablo 4 is that I can still play Diablo 1 after 20+ years, and there is absolutely zero guarantee that will be possible with Diablo 4. The game is launching on life support.
The ice blades build on the sorc was absolutely insane — pretty much invincible. I’m sure it’ll be nerfed on release though.
Diablo franchise just looks like mobile games to me..
Diablo has always had awesome cinematics!
“You God damn right”. This, Sir, is seriously funny. I l-i-i-i-ke it.
The developers have asked for more time. Because they said it won’t be ready in time. But they were ignored, and instead have to work overtime to make the date. That alone should be a reason not to pre order. Even if the game will be playable, this shit needs to stop in the gaming industry.
I loved the monk. Why did they remove the monk. 🙁
So you’re blown away by the environmental graphics, but you would rather stare at a map overlay the entire time? I hope you can appreciate how ironic that is. I’m pretty sure Blizzard intended it this way though as they have put in a lot of effort into player immersion with this installment of Diablo(which is what veteran Diablo players have been begging for).
Can’t wait to see how Blizzard monetizes this game. Because there’s NO WAY after Diablo Immortal made them billions of dollars that they wont try to nickle and dime every little thing this game has to offer.
Game could be genuinely incredible but it being blizzard, I’m sure as shit not giving them any cash for it.
can someone tell me if you’re able to get early access to diablo 4 if you bought the standard edition or can you only get early access for ultimate editon?
Glorified mobile game.
Copy paste from diablo 3 and immortal.
3.5/10
I have 2k hours in Lost ark. But the latest boss Brel is just too much for me. It’s too hard and too many mechanics. I can appreciate watching someone stream gate 5 and 6 but it’s just too much for me, not fun. I think Valtan was awesome, Vykas is ok. Why do I talk about Lost ark here? Cause of the sexy girls. It’s just one thing that makes you happy running around and people having some sexy cool transmog in the game. I sounder if we will get something like that in Diablo 4.
I definitely don’t ever pre-order a game ! No matter how good it looks on the paper
you are not accurate on the melee classes. They are still very fun and rewarding to play. I was able to max level all toons during beta and found only the Druid to lack any further interest in playing.
Map overlay usually makes you not appreciate the actual game. I suspect it’ll come at a later point when people will run through this efficiently. Diablo practically invented the map overlay. The only gripe I have is the UI in general which doesn’t feel worthy of a 2023 Blizzard game. It’s just an overlay like any other game that feels out of place. It breaks my immersion to see text floating around showing quest names for example. How can that not be solved more elegantly? If I cant memorize the quest I’m doing it is seemingly boring. Otherwise I wouldn’t have to be reminded of it on screen all the time. Some weird decision. I like the Diablo II approach where you just never really see any quest unless you go to the act / quest window thing. You always knew what to do next etc.
I struggled before with move attack clicks try either shift or control and click
loved the game, one thing that happend to me often was when i did the events is that i got the blood bishop so often i just got quickly bored of it sooo i would say more boss mobs or something would be preeeetty nice
The rubberbanding when entering zones should be a beta issue, meaning you’re not (yet) playing on a server located near you. If you ever played World of Warcraft: the PTR version is just a lag/sync feast. I find it nearly unplayable during peak hours. But it’s 100% fine on the live servers.
Very good game so far
Oh no! I can’t believe Raid got him too!
My impression is: IT COST TOO MUCH.
I played the beta. Gonna go with last epoch.
UI team clearly phoned it in. Netcode felt more ancient than wow’s somehow. Party play is insanely fun though and definitely a better experience.
Shift is hold position if you want to stand and attack.
if you bind a skill that doesnt have an animation and isnt an attack(like an aura or something) to lmb its like force move. i used to do that in d3
Honestly. Maybe blizzard should just start making diablo movies. Fuck the games. Just make movies.
Peon, I’m very curious – how come you don’t care about the story in any game? How do you get immersed then? You have no connection to your surroundings and anything that’s happening.
dogshit ad fuck you for promoting gambling
i got 2 barbs to 25 and it was fine,
id call dogshit those who struggled with barbarians.
Not as groundbreaking genuine and atmospheric as the damn diablo 2..
holy shit man, i cant believe its you, i used to watch your wow content as a kid and could not recognize you. You looking great dude. Keep it up brother. You inspired me alot
Big like!
Blizzard doesnt like map overlay’s because they feel like players will just look at their map instead of activly playing the game.
One of the the most useless videos I have ever had the displeasure of watching. HOLY SHIEET! Bedge.
This video gave me diarrhea.
Was sad you didnt pick barb, would have been a pretty funny video over this op sorc build 😛
After Diablo 3 I guess Blizzard decided to copy Path of Exile lol.. Sadly the skill system can’t copete and PoE2 is coming.
God, I was so excited for this game, but when I saw they’re shoving a battle pass and light MMO elements in… I gotta admit it really killed my hype. It still looks fun but damn I’m so tired of battle passes and seasons in every single game.
Scaling is trash. It has ruined my hope for the game entirely. There’s very little I hate more than mobs scaling with me.
That rubberbanding was happening to me as well, and got worse the longer I played. I noticed if I quit then went back in it would stop for a bit.
Thanks for that! Very helpful info <3
I played Barb to 20 and had no issues. Guess it comes down to knowing how to spec ???
Monsters level with the player – and am out! HARD PASS!
You don’t watch spoilers but you spoil it for others
great video!!
been following your videos for some time you look good man
Barbarian is definitely not OP – try him next time and see the difference. Its a shame he’s underpowered as its the character I prefer to play in Diablo games 🙁
I didn’t recognize the game without the rubber banding every 5 seconds
4 button console game.
I played Diablo 3 and it was really really boring 🤷♂️ I don’t know if I’m going to try a Diablo game ever again🙄
D4 is so nice❤
I disagree about your comment regarding the Barbarian, it made the game more challenging, and your spells coupled with weapons, powerful attack modes. Try it first before listening to others
Nice video thanks. Your reactions imply that you didn’t play Diablo 3, amirite? Although D4 is nice, I didn’t find it that much better than D3. Despite the fact ofc we’ve seen it all by now.
12:13 “Even early into the game THIS NECROMANCER is feeling super OP.” Except of course you CAN NOT even play a Necromancer yet, and you are playing a Sorcerer.
OOOOPS!
This looks so gorey, almost disgusting zones lol
I will stick to the Mobile Version. This does not look like step up from Diablo 3. More like a downgrade.
Luckily most of the cons seem to be all things that can get ironed out
diablo 2 resurrected is better than this
i hate the idea of click to move as well , they should’ve added WASD to it , and the inventory still limited , i hate that too , the rest seems fun and cool
Umm when did lazypeon get a body update… looking like a beast!
Will someone tell him he isn’t playing a necromancer ? 🤣
see a dead horse and think……. Birds eye lasagne………
This is the first time I’ve seen your face. For someone named “TheLazyPeon”, you seem pretty shredded ngl. I’m gonna sue for false advertising.
14:16 “music makes a big difference in games, doesnt it”
Editor inserts 2 seconds of Gwyns theme from DS1..
Me emotionally: “yes it really does”
so much ads in video and paid ads block
add me Peon please!
I have never played Diablo. Would this be a good time to start with this game?
The game looks a lot like Diablo 3 :/
I got to lvl 18… Got bored. Uninstalled. 6/10 for me
Only managed to play the necrom during beta with all the lag, disconnecting,and bugs but still did quite enjoy the cut scenes and class – can’t go wrong with a summoning class though would love to see better UI, overal optimization, and character customization.
The barbarian in D4 is widely misunderstood. People don’t want to invest a bit of time reading through the skill tree so they miss out on the ways that even early on, barbarians can stack damage and take advantage of modifiers/multipliers to damage.
tldr; D4 Barbarian is powerful but only if you take some time to read skills and combat mechanics tool tips. Ironically, barbarian players can’t be mindless, they have to be a intellectually engaged with the game to git gud.
Early game example: Combat Bash gives a guaranteed Overpower (bonus damage calculated from current Life and Fortified Life) on the next Core skill (use Upheaval) if you crit four times with a two-handed weapon. Upheaval requires a two-handed weapon. Furious Upheaval grants x8% damage bonus each time a non Upheaval skill deals direct damage (use Bash) to a max of 80%.
So basically Bash an enemy until you crit 4 times. This guarantees an Overpowered Upheaval. If you Bash 10 times, you’ll not only get 4 crits, you’ll also stack the +8% damage bonus from Furious Upheaval to the max of 80%. Once you have your 4 crits and 10 stacks, use Upheaval for a guaranteed Overpowered strike combined with +80% damage. This is achievable by level 6 or 7. This also doesn’t take into consideration other damage bonuses that synergize from other skills, let alone gear. By the time you get to level 13 or 14, you can have Enhanced Kick that applies guaranteed Vulnerability for 4 seconds. Vulnerability makes enemies take 20% extra damage. At this point, you’ll have numerous other modifiers to Overpowered damage such as more Life and the ability to instantly get Fortified Life. You have more crit damage from various sources.
So if you’re still with me, there’s a reason why a particular Youtuber was able to hit 359k damage with a level 25 barbarian with Upheaval. His imbued gear was part of the equation but it only happened because he stacked damage multipliers on an Upheaval that landed upon an enemy afflicted with Vulnerable. It was deliberate and not luck. The player understood the game’s mechanics.
Loved the experience so far! The interface could be better, also the skill tree could be opticaly improved, other than that great! Almost didnt do anything else from Friday to Monday. Am more of a solo player though, but wasnt bothered by the other players.
No problems other then optimization can’t wait to play this
I think issues with melee vs ranged are in every game. It’s a simple fact of life that ranged weapons are better, and melee only benefits from not needing ammo. I think games need to actually design systems to help melee compete. WoW generally made ranged players stand still to cast. But it seems like Diablo has often struggled with this, and only deals with it through character mechanics like mobility or “shields”. I think this is definitely an issue, but it’s nothing new to Diablo IV. What D4 gets wrong, is they actually seem to inverse the character design, and the ranged Sorcerer has some the best mobility and survivability while the Barbarian might be the worst at both.
If you praise RAID, i know you’re untrustworthy, and its therefore not worth watching your reviews.
Raid is sheit, and you either know it and are lying or Simply don’t know what you’re talking about.
Get your credibility back.
Anyone playing this and have also played Lost Ark you are going to be bored with the combat. It’s pretty slow and not as fun as Lost Arks combat. I literally fell asleep multiple times in dungeons on the hard mode. I love Diablo games and the lore but when Blizzard fail to evolve their formula they get what they deserve. a mediocre game. 5 Classes is not enough. a few abilities that you can’t change almost at all unlike in D3, where you hade a good amount of control over your abilities, like changing their element or nature or sometimes type. D4 has non of it that I saw in the beta. Also if I’m wrong, good. Because I want to play this game when it comes out, but if the combat doesn’t get good until level 50 this is going to be boring as fuck leveling through post launch seasons like D3 had.
Its ok. If you liked the first 3, you will like this. Its more of…. EXACTLY THE SAME. So not bad, not good. I would say the defining reason to get it or not should be based on whether you like blizzard and their woke leftist nonsense or not. The games fine, but its nothing to write home about, I played the beta as a bar up to max beta level. Meh.
You’d think a dungeon crawler is out of date these days…😂😂
Unless diablo 4 goes to diablo 2 style of character builds and a pvp based system it will die. Streamers will speed run it and everyone will leave
I had to stop watching at 7:38 because I didn’t want to be further spoiled. This looks amazing, and I can’t wait to play D4!
I actually bound the force move (move without attacking) to the right click. And the right click attack i moved to another button. Made navigating with mob groups a bit easier. Also felt a little bit more like lost ark which had very fluid movement in my opinion.
When you scavenge gear that is a transmog item… it will go to your collection. It actual say if it’s a new collection piece in the item tool tip.
cat smells some gore and blood in the game, peacefully sleeping next to xDDDD that´s our cats ladies and gents. 😀
The left click with moving and and using the basic skill got me angry so i moved to controller and now i cant go back… what i have done to my life boys… A CONTROLLER
Hey Peon which mmo r u playing nowadays for fun
Is this David Beckham’s brother?
LOL YES THEY NED TO FIX THE BARB & DRULD..
diablo 1 started the arpg map overlay ironically its not in d4 i found that strange/ironic
I’m trying to watch a video. It’s a short intro telling me what the video is gonna be about, then a paid promotion by the creator that’s lengthy, and at the end of that, an unskipable ad pops up for the final blow. The headshot 1deag headshot to my patience. Good game, YouTube.
Is there co-op mode in D4?
“UI looks good” Boy, you play too many phone games!
@19:50 I LMAO that seemed so true when I played it as well.
yo you look good man!
Yeah Barb and Druid early lvls feels kind of tough compared to the range classes. After you get some skills and Legendary gear. It felt more solid. Ive seen some good Druid builds despite everything saying the class is trash! Im hoping that the full release is more polished and has more exciting things to explore.
Actually, barbarian was my favorite class. Had an absolute blast.
.
We can see that u arent diablo player, transmog was in D3, And also When u hold shift u wont move And u can shoot on enemies without moving, but as i Said u arent diablo player so you dont know it.
ill stay with classic no pally no fun
Gonna hate on this game more now cuz you criticize how choppy it is and I get little worm sycophants coming at me “Get a new PC LOL, It’s a beta like omggggg” .. This is a game that has been recycled for 20 fookin years and it can’t be smooth off fookin launch for Christ sake? What a joke these losers accept such highway robbery & wanna shame me for NOT accepting a rod up my 4ss 😅 .. Have fun with this game that I’ve had for 20 years in dark alliance or the other diablos ffs.. I’m just a low budget loser apparently for not being willing to pay top dollar for LAGGY RECYCLED SH!t 😂 .. Looks better at a HUGE COST to performance.. how’d that go for Warcraft reforged again? Oh yea that’s right .. 👌
Love the video. Appreciate the content.
I enjoyed the beta so much and i never really caried for diablo story but i will say this one pulled me in
actually playing barb is alot of fun! 4 weapons are super strong! Ive played all the classes now and def rogue and mage OP in beginning but barb picks up hugeeeeeee later
The gameplay is good, but I wish we could use at least 7 abilities instead of 6. Maybe the 7th slot could be used just for the ultimate. But I feel the reason we are limited to 6 is the same reason the UI is bad: it has to work on console too
I played the open beta this weekend, and it was pretty darn fun. The game was more immersive.
Played it myself and in coop with my friend. A few issues with sound and aiming using a rogue. Overall that played really well for a beta. That’s the best looking diablo game to date. Outstanding job on the graphics
ngl the combat and movement look like absolute dogshit
you look very healthy, good on you man
100% agree with all the cons.
This game gives me a really strong Grim Dawn vibe. It actually looks like a slightly altered clone of Grim Dawn.
Can’t be bothered to watch the video. activision/Blizzard is the worst and I’m not giving them money. Just wanted to comment and like to help the algorithm.
I think the problem that people are overlooking is the increase in legendary drop rates devs spoke about. its up 200% in beta. That means all of these build guides or classes feeling good with only legendaries will not be occurring at level 25 on game release. Expect to farm and run the same repetitive dungeon a few hundred times to get up to the power level people are seeing just in the beta. The respec cost and the reliance on legendary aspects is going to harm blizzard on release. People are playing the beta thinking it’s going to be casual friendly. hoo boy are they in for a surprise.
Why are you gaming in 1080p with a 4090 🤣
That game looks complete garbage
No single player offline story mode? Live required? Nah.
I believe the leveling scaling is only for the beginning zone to act as a tutorial. This way you can explore the world fully and still get exp to ready yourself for the next zones. There are zones in the beta that don’t scale to your level (like the strongholds) so I assume this would apply to the other zones as well.
Also they confirmed that they will be adding WASD as a movement option. There’s also a “force move” key bind in the settings that ignore targeting mobs when you hover over them and if you hold down Shift you’ll just stand still and attack.
There was many dungeons to explore in Act I, each with their own boss but sadly repetitive in layout.
No, I do not think so but we will still do. It will pain, bugs and immoral practices 😉
June can’t get here fast enough 😅
I heard barbarian was fun. I also enjoyed the rogue and necro. Hear the druid is a bit of a struggle early game though
“You can’t move and look at the map at the same time” – what about that mini map up in the right corner?
and fyi as you level mobs level too. so you need to get gear faster. and the map pin is far superior than the overlay ,map
well i played this weekend and i have to admit i liked diablo 4, i liked the open map. much better feel than 3. its like we went 1 2 then 4 and 3 was just cosplay
Yeah looks like only cinematics is good and i get massive POE vibes from the game. Like they copied POE since their own diablo immortal sucked. Diablo immortal will forever be known as the diablo killer.
“not as good as lost ark” lmao
subbed because cat
i liked the first cutscene but holy shit it took like 10 minutes it felt like
I mean you are playing diablo so that automaticly means you are demoni😮tized
No matter how good this game is, can’t get over how terrible the company behind it has become.
hopefully he got to 20 to get his puppy just in case he does play at launch!
I played as a Barbarian and it was amazing. I didn’t feel a melee tax or anything, and was able to hit level 20. That being said, it was the worst beta experience I’ve ever had. The optimization is god awful. The game used 10% of my CPU and 50% of my ram, and ran at a constant 4fps with about a 5 second input delay. Made story progression and finishing dungeons impossible. Then I would randomly go up to 65 FPS (had it capped) for a few seconds and it would run great, before going back down to 4. Super excited to play more, hope they fix the optimization.
Also, please tell me you didn’t stop at 18? You got to 20 right? To get the Beta rewards?
I have have lost 3 characters so far very fun game cause I would have been dropped it if I died on any other game
im honestly a little dissappointed in D4. still going to play it, still keeping the pre orders, but idk, it just felt meh to me. stupid stupid easy with every class i tried (Sorc, Necro, Druid). none of the skills really had that “oh wow thats epic” feel. the drill down trees were all boring, nothing that really changes the skill up or anything. but i guess they wanted to go back to the simple feel of D2. personally, i loved D3 even coming from D2. it had its faults, but i enjoyed how the runes completely changed the skill. also not a huge fan of the open world aspect, but it is what it is. like i said though, i’ll still be playing come launch.
I just can’t help to ask, what is the difference from Diablo 3? at all?
Here before Asmundgold steals views!
I’m torn. On the one hand Blizzard has become a crap company that I don’t want to support, on the other hand Diablo is one of the last vestiges of good development left in Blizzard (Diablo Immortal aside).
Diablo 3 has been maintained and still has running seasons with new mechanics to this day.
I really want to play this game, but I hate giving Blizzard money. It’s a hard choice, but I’ll see the state of the game closer to release and see if it’s worthy of my money then.
I leveled every class but druid to 25 – d4 is a good game and it’s what I wished d3 would have been. There is a lot of d3 present at first glance, but I didn’t feel at all like I was playing d3 (feels more like d2lod than d3, imo, but with more modern stuff)
I’ve played d2lod since ’01, I was disappointed with d3 and didn’t even download DI; I was also pessimistic about d4, but after playing both beta weekends and all classes (max lvl on barb/rogue/sorc/nec, barely tried druid) – that all said, I’m really excited for the full release now.
As long as they fix the stuff identified in the beta I think it’ll be great.
100% of the critique on balance/skills/builds is speculation – we were capped at 25 and limited to low level 25 gear.. Can’t wait to put together a full-game rogue and barb (they were the most fun to play, imo.. Ran twisting blades and upheaval)
As someone who has played all classes to level 25 in the beta and testing out different builds (although I by no means claim to be an expert of any kind :D) I can say that melee classes are not underpowered. They might feel that way because a) I found it more difficult to find a working build (especially in the very lower levels) and b) both barbarian and druid lack their specialization in the beta, while all other classes have access to theirs. As for characters getting weaker the higher the level gets, I personally felt that the higher the level becomes the more gear and especially the aspects start to have an impact. In addition I changed around some skill points every few levels so I can get the most of my available skill points.
to not move by clicking hold shift, lets you cast and not move.
Imagine how good Diablo 4 would be, if it was being made by the original devs
“I skip cutscenes in 99% of games”
I’m sorry but I despise people like you…
Meh, might give it ago I suppose.
I played a few hours of D4 and dropped it. But because I didn’t want to spoil the game leading up to it’s launch. I’m so pumped to have a new Diablo to play.
First time diablo player.
Tried it on Saturday, with little expectations, … Ended up playing all weekend with little sleep haha..
At the end of the day I decided to give a ton of top gear away to an low level player at one of the towns.
Ended up making a friend, we played together for another 4hrs.
Waiting till it releases will suck haha
PS. Played as a barb and never had the feeling I was struggling
I played every diablo up to diablo 3. D3 Was a major dissapointment. Dumbed down to cater to as much people as possible. D4 i never bothered.
Im happy with d2 resurrected the only and best diablo thst deserves to the Name.
i watch, i like. I don’t want waste my money
The druid purple build (werwolf abilities only) felt quite weak against bigger hordes of mobs. I haven’t had a chance to try a ranged class last weekend :”(
same in d3, why are people surprised? yes you get weaker towards max level, and will till you get your build up. Anything before max level means nothing
“Yeah Diablo 4, let us forget the past shit Show of Blizzard politics and let us us gobble this fiddlestick until we remember the shit show”
Fans in a nutshell👍
Played up till level 13 with a Nec, absolutely brilliant. Pre ordered based on experience. Love the atmosphere of the game, great music & dungeons are great. Nec felt a bit over powered only criticism I was slaughtering everything.
dude wtf. You dont know that in Diablo you shift move??
what the actual fuck
Had beta downloaded all weekend …spent more time on d2r 😂 nty bliz
Where to get playable demo
It’s feels like remastered version of Champions return to arms.
And C is for cookies, that is good enough for me.
Blizz had experience making Diablo for 25 years and somehow still poor at balancing class.
Coming to D4 from Lost Ark made me yawn out of boredom during boss fights, 2 mechanics tops. Even the leveling bosses on LA had minimum of 5 mechanics. Also, the boss’s models are the same as regular mobs just bigger – this thing boggles my mind, how come the world is so detailed yet the boss’s models are so lacking
Crashes left and right, rubber banding, lag, bricks certain GPUs, runs like crap even though gfx are mediocre, not worth the buy at all.
I did not play D3 because I did play the demo version and the game was so boring I could not even bring myself to finish that.
But D4 looks cool so far. Maybe Blizzard is actually still able to make a decent game.
However I also heard about this game destroying N-vidia card, so that is not good.
Thanks for covering, was looking forward to your review
3:10 – I love the avoidance of having a white male character on show around the camp. Thank you, Blizzard, for not making me look at racism and misogyny!
This was painful to watch…
2:53 – I agree 100% which is why I’m gonna click that little grey X in the top right hand corner… see you in June!
I went in super low expectations and it took like 5 or so hours and im buying it for sure. Even if it takes a little time for them to fix it up has potential.
Man, you can really tell that someone only plays MMOs when they praise the story /cutscenes in this game. Your standards are very low.
20 minutes? Just Yes , its like diablo 2 but way more polished. I dont tend to give reviews until its out of Beta
I’m currently playing as a rogue which is very fun for me. But I’ll admit their are times where I can’t really ever use my knives and am basically forced to use my bow to beat an enemy which is kinda a bummer since I can’t choose to beat them how I would want to play. But overall I think it’ll be fixed before the release date hopefully. But when I’m able to use my knives they are very fun and powerful to use
I’ve found the melee to be weaker for sure, but not nearly as bad as some people are claiming. Had 0 issues progressing through the content
The ad was funny asf and for that you get a sub
even tier to aint hard this game is for pussies’
100 bucks on Blizz ruining it and making it a shameless Cashgrab. RIP Blizzard of old…
Peon, you can remap the bindings so the left mouse click only moves your character and assign any other key to attack with that skill slot. If you spent 5 secs in the settings you would have figured it out. Quite lazy of you. Your name is perfect!
The chain lightning character I’m playing in Last Epoch is already fun and so is the game overall. Don’t see me picking this up until a big sale
It’s like Diablo immortal on mobile kind of sort of.. minus the horses and graphics overhaul
I played the open beta, I think I’m good but I will watch the gameplay from streamer and youtuber.
I wonder if he plays raid shadow legends lol
honestly stopped watching after the shit ad
Is Diablo 4 better than Diablo 3?
i never played game like this and i dont understand the goal or objective of it
Easy answer is : Yes, it is.
Is raid shadow legends actually good? Even my local milkman has been paid to promote it but I don’t know anyone who actually plays it.
Hey man, you are looking great! I have watched you for years and I could say without a doubt you’ve never looked better!
Making character that looks like myself…
game: bonus – chance to make monster flee +50%
I pre-order. I play open and close beta. I refund.
You Do Feel More Powerful As You Lvl I’m Level 11 And My Mage Rip’s
I haven’t played due to IRL issues, but I have watched 12-14 hours of gameplay from both weekends. My thoughts:
-Environments and enemies look very well made
-I’ve tried to avoid story spoilers but what I have seen of it is amazing!
-PC UI looks very good, and even though console UI is being criticized I don’t feel its bad their either
-Combat is pretty good, with the mobility award going to Rogue
-Zone rubberbanding needs to be fixed considering this is supposed to feel like one world and it seems very jarring
-Balance is rough at first but after reading dev response’s I can see why low levels are imbalanced and evens out later in game
-The game needs way better tutorials cuz not showing new players that they can Shift + L. Click (among several others) is problematic
-The monsters growing stronger is going to be a HUGE issue and will be a deal breaker for some. I can see why they did it, to have players of all levels be able to play on the same playing field and to not have a lvl 50 character come smoke a low level world boss. However, I feel this is going to cause a loss in sales, which sucks for everyone. Not sure how they will handle this.
a bit underwhelming
Can’t make a character that looks like him…. Character sort of looks like him….
“look at the glow Oooooo, look at the walls ahhhhh so cool” whats wrong with you bro stop jizzing in your pants over this game its embarrassing
Wolf pack level 20. Try get 20 in beta.
16:07
“Is it worth playing?”
NO. It’s only a multiplayer game. Blizzard can kiss my ass.
luckily i don’t plan on playing this, the spoiler of the story twist at lvl 5 was a poor choice to include in this first impressions.
the fact that you dont know after all these years of reviewing games that SHIFT+CLICK keeps you in one spot and lets you attack from distance…. oof credibility damage!
15:20 dunno if you found that out yet, but in diablo you can press shift + attack button to stand in place while attacking from a distance. that’s pretty helpful for ranged classes and they seem to have even added another new feature in the settings with d4 to run through mobs without attacking them.
I think the game is far too basic. Not enough classes, not enough skills, not enough variety in items, not enough variety in events. D2 and D3 both needed an expansion to really start to shine and this is looking about the same.
Had a fun time with this game, fun video to see your reaction as always!
The game is be fun in a story mode but itemizing builds for the end game could be quite a time sink.
wow you suck you would like anything hahahah , this game looks super bad it looks like a copy of D3 … I played and its a copy of D3 lol…
lol it looks pretty bad, woke game and its D3 lol…. they need to go in full man in and use the D1 gameplay
You do understand its Beta testing, so everything they put is more enchanted, later they will polish game and make it 10x better
I played it for a weekend and was left feeling indifferent about it. It was my game of the year but it just feels so incredibly boring 😴
Nothing here is screaming “buy me!!”
Diablo classic with better graphics *yawn*
i really wanted to hate this game but holy shit, they knocked it out of the park, this might be better than diablo 2!
Play with a controller instead of M&K. I find it to be a way more enjoyable experience and don’t have the move/attack issue.
Straight to the point! I love the franchise, but this grind and then reset every season is not Diablo. It’s a stupid live service direction that wasn’t necessary.
I will say I started with mouse and keyboard, and it felt smoother using controller just because movement was better. Yes you can hold down shift not to move, but really this is first game I can say that controller felt so much better. You do get stronger if you use obols to gamble for legendary gear and get legendries if you find yellows that are better you can extra or use aspects you earned to put it on yellow item to make it legendary.
It’s going to be a first day buy!
This will be my first Diablo game, i have no friends to play with, will it be worth to give it a try?
at first everything was alright (not the camera tho, it´s so fucking zoomed) anyway everything was ok until like lvl 15+, then it got diablo 3 vibes, I won´t change my fucking build every 10 minutes just because this fucking game spits legendary items on you so fucking much, pass saved money, torchlight 2 is still better.. for offline experience, it has itemisation right
People just suck, barbarian is op as hell. Also you getting less powerful feeling probably has to do with not speccing into defensive skills. Spec into a few and it will completely change how you feel about the combat.
the only good thing about d4 is the art teams work. it feels like some cheap mobile phone mmo. This will not turn out well. got to lvl 25 everything is the same repeatable click 2 thingies open door , stand on this kill a few mobs the shared world does nothing good for the game its really shallow.
RPG content creator that doesn’t give a (F) about the story!???
How old is this guy lol
Dosent even know what diablo is ….
Wait but you are saying youd probably call the game dogshit if you played as a barb, but you dont know cause you didnt lol
Nice video.
Typical Blizzard fair, dumbed down ARPG by today’s standard to appeal to the masses to hook as many people as possible for the cash shop.
Be careful with such shining reviews. Wait until it’s released, balanced and most importantly what it’s monetization will look like.
I quit playing the beta once I hit level 22… I’ve gotten multiple legendaries and looked up builds for sorceress yet when I enter a dungeon or world mobs, they just deal more damage and I deal fuck all. Like what’s the point of leveling up and getting gear if I won’t be dealing any more damage and feeling op. That’s the best thing about d3 you can get so powerful that you mowe through the enemies. If this is gonna persist in release, I won’t buy it I think
This was the first Diablo game I played and really enjoyed it. I used necromancer and had fun summoning the dead 😂
Beta was cool, I probably won’t buy it tho.
Cut scenes were cenamatic masterpieces but I just wasn’t invested in the story, thats just a me thing tho.
Gameplay is more repetitive and grindy than I liked but it was fun trying different builds and getting perks from weapons that affected how skills work. I can see the potential for the full release buuut I feel like I’ve experienced a lot of what the gamepley has to offer, could be wrong, and it’s not really anything special compared to any other game like it
It’s OK… I actually got bored really fast. Hope that whoever buys it enjoys it but it’s not for me, I’m out
Is it worth playing? Yes. Is it worth paying 70 or more? I dunno.
Peon rated Raid low on his tier list, then promote it on his channel. What an epic troll.
nope its not worth playing. i just saved you 60 dollars. wait till its 9.99
Looks booty
”Diablo”
Take this thumbs down for your ad included in your vid.
Does it come with a credit card reader for ease of winning.
Personally, I don’t think any game is worth that price tag.
tell me you’re too lazy to make a proper review without telling me that you’re too lazy.
This game is the next warcraft 3 reforged / refunded …. Not even close to being done or good . Sad…
still diablo 2 rules this one ahhh….
ALL THE CHARACTER WITH THE SAME HEIGHT AND WEIGHT? omg. Everyone looks the SAME but with diferent items.. BAH.. CHARACTERS DOESNT WALK? All running? and FAST! feels unreal. NICE STORY, The rpg feeling feels poor.. You took 3 legendaries items and the next boss killed you.. So what important feel a legendary? These hack and slash games all fell the same. They should make it more rpg. Like Neverwinter nights 1 or similar.. Just nice graffics so far.
idk played for 2 hours and it just felt too easy imo
Thought it was fun as hell. Awesome game. Looking forward to it
My opinion: DO NOT PREORDER. Also wait until it goes on sale it is not worth $70.
I cannot believe it’s only now he’s noticed the main issue with click to move in isometrics.This has been a bane ever since they came out. However Grim Dawn at least offered full gamepad support AND has rotating camera. That said, the gamepad version of Diablo IV tackles this issue as your movement is independent of your attack. Or you can use the hold position ability with mouse/keyboard
I stayed awhile and listened
I don’t know what you played, but as pyro sorcerer I actually felt a lot of gain in power every level up. Maybe revisit abilities? Idk, but Flame Shield, Hydra, Incinerate and inferno ability stacking together with Inner Flames (don’t power up flamebolt / left mouse rest is op Enough) , Devouring blaze and Crippling flames seems pretty cool so far and everything burns down rather quickly for me. And I really feel getting stronger each ability point and certain codexes to power it up.
I’m glad you isolated yourself from the game; great reaction 😀
Blizzard for the most part has become a giant disappointment for the past… 20 years? So here is my question, does D4 compete or can it even come close to PoE?
I’ve got some issues with it. I think it’s going to end up being a great Diablo title, but there are some balance issues and some annoying mechanics overall. I took a Sorceror into the final Act I boss at level 23 and defeated it handily. Yes, I had to kit around, but that’s how that fight is meant to work. I did the same thing with a L25 Necro, with a full load of skeletons, mages and the Golem – could not defeat that boss. Overall, I think the new Necromancer isn’t very good. The new Sorcerer is great. Have no idea about any other classes. There are some other irritating details – very bad lag, but I’m ignoring that on the assumption that it is just caused by beta load. Here’s an example – in dungeons, why isn’t there a teleport to entrance object after the dungeon boss? Stupid things like that – looks like the internal play testing + common sense was a little lacking.
see a dead horse and think about how not to waste it, that’s called being normal.
Hi TLP, your reviews are outstanding among those I usually watched. You are now my exclusive review youtuber =D Thank you for your content!
I like the scaling. My friends who were ten levels ahead of me was somehow able to play with me and the fights were still fun and not just tearing through. It’s not fun to just one shot everything, even in MMOs it makes entire maps just dead zones with useless mob.
Looks like Diablo got inspired by Titan Quest
its balanced very well, people are just bad in meele thats all
Hold down shift while using left mouse attack. You will stand in place and fire without moving
i got two characters to 25 in beta and it’s not a bad game but so far i prefer diablo 2. Don’t like the limited abilities you can key bind. was nice in diablo 2 you could hold down L2 trigger and you got a whole second set of abilities to bind.
i love the game but man it need allot of work :S hope the can fix it all in time for release
Hi, does anyone know if we can keep the character from the beta?
Still is too bright, colorful, and lacks the horror of D1 and D2. Music is grating and combat is boring.
Nice review. I’m looking forward to playing it when it fully releases
Hope they allow for key binds to additional mouse buttons/ control inputs
I really wish they let you do more with character creation and customization, I would love to play Druid but I really don’t want to have to play as some fat ass overweight precious looking character it completly puts me off. Same with the choices for faces for all the other characters they all have huge out of proportion eyes and mouths and noses and they all look super ugly and not pleasing or badass
Bear grylls wouldve eaten that horse R A W 😂
If you hold down shift when you left click to attack it will lock your character in place to you won’t run when your clicking to attack
Named my sorc SmokePotter 😂
Imagine releasing a game on pc with no wasd movement.
i played barbarian and it is underpowered compared to other classes, sorc, necro and druid is broken and unbalanced atm. 🙂 tho fully enjoyed the experience
Isnt 60 dollars too much money for this game
70 dollars for a mobile hame
I think I am also playing one of the most broken builds with rogue and their shadow imbusing weapons stuff but for me the experience of feeling weaker the further you get in the game wasnt part of my experience. Besides the butcher I was breezing through most of the mobs.
PoE is way better in any aspect.
POE 😅
So you say that it feels like your character is getting weaker as you level up, but I think the character feeling weaker as you level up actually feels kind of good in the way they implemented it. Being that you start to feel weaker so you go work on your build or grind for a couple items or gamble your obols for those items and then bang you feel even stronger than ever. Additionally, playing on that higher difficulty increased the scaling of the monsters by quite a bit.
I re-installed and appreciated Lost Ark, this is how much i liked D4.
im getting it when it releases
I buy it ! Boring game, nothing special !
As a Barb main since D2 back in the 90s, I liked the D4 experience. It was like playing in Hell difficulty.
One thing to bear in mind is that we don’t know how power levels will look like until we’re not max lvl and max paragon.
Usually in all games wizard/mages are easier to level up with.
why do i feel like people are so carebear nowadays that they think D4 story is “that” dark
did go lv 25 with necromancer and around 509 attack, then got little bored xD all gears around 350 power
So far I like it.. really digging the story and lore stuff so far. Good cutscenes, solid gameplay
I refunded the game and honestly I didn’t expect from Blizzard to make a good game . The items are boring, fights are bad , dungeons are just copy and paste , there is so little monster types and i can go on forever . Don’t give your money this is a big price for that game. Overall looks boring just clearing dungeons and what is with the open world thing you just see some random dude for 5 seconds or for 15 minutes on the bosses
you lost my interest with your RAID Ad.
As a long time FPS and Call of Duty ”veteran”… i picked this game on my series x, instead of PC… just because since its a BETA, and i must say… WOW!!! Has Diablo franchise or MMO’s like this always been good and addictive??? my first 20minutes on this game has left me speechless!! i don’t know what to say… IM LOVING IT.
I have a PC with 3080ti ryzen 95900x, do i get this on PC or console??
Sorry bro, but the game is a flop. This is Diablo 3.5. A lot of copy paste with bad mechanics in another wrap.
Diablo 3 was innovative! Diablo 4 doesn’t innovate anything. On top of that, the gameplay is really bad. You don’t even feel the impact of the items on your combat.
Huge diablo fan. This game sucks 🙁
no thanks, another diablo TRAP.
k but topdowns ick
hold shift when you want to post up and attack bro thats what all diablo players know about how to switch between move and attack on the LMB.
Me thinking Diablo 4 had a huge skill tree xp
I don’t trust blizz no more so no pre ordering for me… D4 looks like a mobile game too. Wtf is 6 button skill? Including left and right click wtf….is it simplified because of console controller?
I played both weekends of the beta, first as a Barbarian and then as the Necromancer. While the Necro feels a bit OP, I didnt struggle with the Barb either. It probably depends on the builds you choose. I went Whirlwind bleed and my leggo pulled enemies in on my whirlwind. I found it tons of fun.
Forget the game, i wanna hear more about the cat
I’m very curious, Mr Peon. As an old schooler who wrote and ran pencil & paper RPGs for over 25yrs from the late 70s/early 80s onwards, how can a guy who professes to have a channel focusing on Role Playing Games state, at timestamp 7:52, that you don’t give a shit about ‘Story’ in 99% of games?? You do actually realise don’t you that the core element of an RPG is the story itself yes? The character development and depth exist within that story element and allow you to progress through the adventure. That is actually quite a shallow approach to this genre of gaming and seriously doesn’t sell you as being an ‘RPG focused’ channel. 🤔
2:44 how come all the characters are black?
Yeah it felt like Diablo… until I rubberbanded trying to leave town. Had to find another exit
And if the overworld has just been cleared by another player it sucks waiting for respawns.. I’m not paying $90 to wait for fun to happen
My biggest issue is monetization. It’s a full price game, 69.99-99.99 euro, with a cash shop AND battle passes. Most games that have micro-transactions are free or way cheaper. Might get it in a few years when it’s on a big discount.
Bro i was watching your promotion and thought i was watching D4 gameplay…
Eh ? The story doesn’t make any sense. Its like if Diablo 3 never existed. And why would a strange cult target a city with 10 people living in it ?
The real question is does Peon still play Bannerlord?
Thing I hate about the dodge is that it doesnt even makes you invincible. And since the hit detection is often lacking, especially in bosses fight, it makes it rather useless.
Its fun but there are alot if downsides
1. Too many mmo elements
2. Copy paste skills from d3
3. Pace is too slow
4. Only 2 attributes per ability
5. Too many currencies to manage now with gathering etc
Not sure why they’re trying to make world of diablocraft but it doesn’t look good to me
I don’t like it. Graphic is bland, texts are hard to read at least on console. Gameplay is to repetitive. Also what is about seeing random players here and there…wtf. Not going to buy it
probably the first time ever I watch a full raid: shadow legends ad. cudos!
You cant tell me you’ve got a top tier PC if you’re still using SSD’s – LOL – M.2 drive – get on it.
i know deep down u think raid shadow legend is shit lmao
I was already op. Exactly my feeling for sorcerer and necro. Balancing is bad. Melee felt horrible. Spells felt too power full. But not SO much. I think if they nerf spells they wont feel lile spells anymore. They need to lift up melee to spell caater standards
this does not look good, the graphics look bland, animation looks bad
great storyline for sure, but the game is meh..
your absolutely right the story is just so intriguingg
Plin plin plon at 14:16. Smart
I try…4 hours….to late and to old game for 2023
Due to limited time I only played the Necro until maxed at 25;
Felt kinda op, I was obliterating everything, until I found The Butcher, who Obliterated ME instead -.-‘
Shit game copied diablo 3 , trash and dont pre order
“the stronger you get the weaker you feel”. Why is this a con? :)) I am losing hope in humanity.
Hi The Lazy Peon Have You Ever Heard of Last Epoch and Could You Play It. The Game is on Steam and It’s Like Diablo II, III & IV or Path of Exile Thank You.
The map thing didn’t bother me. In fact, that’s one thing I agreed with them doing.
When they have that transparent map, you end up with it on screen 100% of the time and ignore everything else. You are just playing overlay map simulator. Streamers do this constantly.
The rubber banding was annoying yes. This is likely a result of enforced online bullshit for a single player game. Give us a local offline mode. I am NEVER playing with other people.
Been hooked on the beta, the combat is fast and builds / skills can be synergised on the fly, they also took a page out of the tried and tested 40-60 second “find something” exploration discovery book. Worked well for ER and it works well for this game too.
Watched until he says, most of games I skip cutscenes. Oh no, this is a crime. Not worth to watch and subscribe
Worst UI in years LUL
The main problem with the druid is that you didn’t get to access its specialization. I feel like we’re missing out on a lot of the class power.
Why do you keep calling your character a necromancer? Lol… he’s not.
The problem with the beta build is that we dont’know how many premium currencies, battlepasses and unique other mechanics which disrespect the player will be in, because at the moment they’re not present. We can hope above hope that the answer will be 0. But that’s a dangerous assumption with Blizzard.
Diablo has always had grade A storys and amazing cuts scenes, I wouldn’t have expected anything different from IV
It’s worth playing but not worth paying the price they ask
for me it is worth
“character rubber bands on new zones” < this is the server tech new world used but aligned with actual area borders, you are loading your character in real time between actual servers to spread the bandwidth load
if you dont like diablo 3 you wont like this, looks similar boring
Thought the druid gameplay felt awesome, then I run some bosses and strongholds around lvl 20 and boy it sucked. Then I tried the same walkthrough with necro… felt absolutely OP.
Anyway its one of very few games where beta convinced me to preorder it. Hate be or whatever but blizz did very good job there, now lets see how the endgame looks like.
Definetly agree with your pros&cons&overall.
I hope Blizzard watch this and fix things.
Super fun game so far. D3 was like a looting simulator. This feels like an actual game with good story.
Good video.
LMB as the basic attack has never been my problem even back in D2. What I do is simply avoid pointing at the enemies when moving and use shift key to do basic attack.
I found the beta so boring, turned it off after reaching lvl 12 or so.
Try the female characters, it’s almost impossible to make a feminine looking woman in the game. It’s either a big muscle mass transgender person (no hate towards the trans, love y’all) or a very ugly femoid goblin.
More Blizzard shilling
Runs perfect on Xbox series X – most powerful console 🤓
I don’t care for story neither. But Diablo does it right. The voices are great and the cinematics with you own character is done super well. Not over the top animations. Just your character with the other characters. It is beautiful. And the game is fun too. Can’t wait for full release. For now beta and I am having fun! I don’t even know why I am looking at this video. It is weekend, its beta playing time 😀 But gotta gives some love to Peon! And the Necro is for sure OP. I love this playstyle. Have fun Peon!
On a side note. At the end you said “I don’t know if the game will be completely ready for launch”….. Back in the good old days of Blizzard, the game would not be released untill 98% would be oke. But now, thanks to greedy cooperations the game will be launched bugged AF. I have so many regrets for the game industry these days. Blizzard was one of the companies whom would not release until they were happy. I guess those days are over…..Sad
The stuttering is absolutely horrendous in your video. smooth for about 100 frames then it stops for a microsecond…then it’s smooth again. I don’t think it’s on your end though, looks like an issue I’ve had to deal with in game development using certain engines when there is an enormous amount of high LoD and physics. It’s a threading issue and it needs to be fixed because it ruins gameplay expereince.
Rod and Tim call loos
Honestly, I find it sad that we don’t get Paladin, Assassin and Amazon anymore. Maybe we’ll get 1 or 2 extra classes as DLC but D3 was thoroughly disappointing. It was so easy, on any difficulty you would one shot bosses. Loot was sad as well, you had like what, 12 gear looks? (I am not accurate, but there were very few looks for loot). D2 was amazing. From what I saw from this video, D4 tends to go back towards oldschool Diablo. Hope that’s the case. Both for enemies and in terms of loot.
gear looks good in this game. all the female gear appears to be SJW friendly
You missed the biggest CON.
THE FUCKING PRICE!
79,90€ for the BASICY version. like OMFG!
and 99,99€ for the “fancy cosmetic version”
Barbarian is and odd duck and needs some context I feel. Early tester here, did several waves going back a year or so.
The barbarian is probably the most gear dependent early game class. They have a really neat new ability in D4, and that’s to have 4 weapons equipped at once. They’ll swap between the weapons as they attack if you interweave abilities that use different weapon types. They only attack with one weapon at a time, however they still get all the passive stats of the other 3 weapons. Their base damage is tuned to account for this; by the time you have 4 bangarang weapons they will in fact start hurting pretty good. There isn’t an excuse Blizz hasn’t fudged their early game math a little to help with on-boarding, but this is the state of the class.
Furthermore, while most classes will get to have 9 or 10 legendary effects when fully stacked (depending on whether they use a 2-handed weapon or 2 1-handed weapons), Barbarians will get 12. Furtherermore, different legendary effects can only be put on certain types of items, the most class-specific offense-tuned ones tending to end up on Helms, Amulets and Weapons. This means not only will barbarians get 12 Legendary effects, but instead of the usual 3 or 4 of them being the best offense types 6 of them can be, and 2 of them at 2-hander potency to boot. This gets very powerful when you manage to find and stack effects that all compliment or augment a single playstyle, and is much more fun than the base journey to lvl 25 lets on. Grinding out a legendary set on the beta begins to show some of the potential, but we’ll really just need the full game to truly appreciate where it can go.
Sorry for the text wall, hope this provides some context. Again, there is no excuse for the class to have been show-cased this poorly or for Sorcerer’s/Necro’s to be as busted as they can currently get with single legendary effects. That said, early to mid game balance has always favored spells in these types of games and getting the perfect set of stacking attack modifiers has always benefitted some classes more than others later on. I believe Barb to be one of these based on my experience. High-end nightmare dungeons in world tier 4 require different builds and items compared to the story on normal difficulty, and barb performed above what I could get other classes to do in that environment. I got to play all the way to Lvl 90+ and test endgame. It’s not as deep as PoE for example, but I think will be great fun. Really looking forward to the full release.
i played as druid and honnestly its bad
It’s odd the Druid and Necromancer weren’t available cause that’s what my friend and I played. Pretty excited for this game, nothing really coming so this fills the space for a bit. It reminds me so much of runescape with the new mmo lite additions which is a plus for me.
Nice review! Just came back after sometime nvr caught up with your videos when u were back living in thailand! Sometime years ago you were abit more bulkly, u really slimed down alot! What is yr secret or workout regime!
Hold shift to keep yourself grounded while you attack, that means you won’t walk towards enemy by accident.
Damn no monk 😪
late on the supreme athel.. fusion about to end..
Short answer : NO
lengthed answer : NO .too much money for just an average game .
Best answer: wait for poe 2
I really tried to concentrate on the video but… you and your cat are too sexy 😽
Just pre order
Its way way berter than 3
Dude, it’s diablo, change that and the fans will not buy it.
Then rebind move…
“This place looks cozy…” 😈
Play once, dont care that much and never look back is what Diablo IV looks like to me..
Bear Druid has been an absolute delight to play. I love ramming into groups and bashing them into the environment.
Also the bear roar is daddy af.
i played all characters to lvl 25 and while i enjoyed all of them a lot i feel that, at least in the lvl 1-25 window, the necro and sorc are the strongest.
obviously it depends on your build and there are strong builds for every class, even in the limeted beta. but with necro and sorc you didnt really need to put much thought into it. everything felt good. i enjoyed being able to die to normal mobs as a barb though 😛
Love the memes for todays sponsor @Thelazypeon, you god damn right!😂😂😂
Did feel like a reskinned lost ark with d3 combat + an dodge. Pass
looks like trash
You talk far too much
WHO TF ARE YOU TO TELL ME IF IT’s WORTH PLAYING OR NOT? /spit
I knew all along that Bruno Fernandez had magic!
Diablo 2 resurrected > Diablo 3 & 4 combined
i play with force move button with my keyboard i rarely move with mouse1 i also use ctrl to force stop.
Peon cmon you have a 4090 but play on 1080p? :-00000
Such a bad game besides graphics, expected much more from a company like blizzard
I found barb and druid(melee) to be harder than the other classes. but was able to complete all content on both of them on Veteran difficulty. I think people are blowing how bad they are out of proportion because they cannot cruise through the game. the other classes should be on that level, not the other way around on veteran.
Also, the alchemist (person who upgrades your health potions) also can make potions that give you 30 minute buffs. with those there is zero reason you cannot complete all content in the beta.
totally agree with you about the story.
i played all 5 chars to lvl 25 across the 2 betas and i gotta say some are more OP than others at the start but they balance out before 20 barb actually becomes one of the strongest. honestly i saw all the hate towards barb and yeah its harder but these players are just not good at the game, you have to build RESISTANCE, and armour to survive attacks on a physical char. i only ever played T2 from start to finish on all chars and never once died on any character. i feel the game needs another tier before the 50-70 tier 3 for those players that are…. ACTUALLY Veterans. atm T2 is just hard mode or better geared for begginners.
Wait why were the Necro and Druid unavailable for Peon?
why all characters are black once you open first menu? are blizzard racist? where are other races
sarcasm off
This is just ridiculous
It’s kind of like a free/mobile game. Sorry for the hype.
if only the combat wasnt almost hilariously boring, its like they took the first 20 levels of d3 combat and made that combat experience the entire gameplay.
I think it’s hyped because of how extremely long Blizzard made people wait for a new diablo, but it’s still diablo, you get bored with it after a week.
Won’t be like Diablo 3, it’s so different, I don’t even get how some people even like this game. It won’t be the same and will be forgotten within couple of days.
The Necromancer experience was top tier! 👌🏽
Bind force move to w in settings then can move without clicking and yeah hold shift to atack without moving
17:20 – you’re welcome. 🙂
As someone who’s played since D1, I am not happy. It’s meh. I’ve been playing the D4 beta for the free weekend. It’s not Diablo anymore. It’s Lilith Online. No offline storymode? Also today (Saturday by a few minutes) the controller stopped working all together. The keyboard layout is garbage so I had to rebind all the keys. I had queue issues Friday, but today I did not. I am a necro player so I thought she felt ok. The game doesn’t have the same frantic feeling. It feels slow. Even a big group of enemies doesn’t feel like enough. There are a lot of things they are doing to the Diablo franchise that has made me feel like Diablo is over. (Diablo Immortal is trash that should be burned,) That’s why I called it Lilith Online. And hell no am I paying $70 for a pre-order. I’m certainly not going to once they release the full game and we find out what BS they want to charge us for. I’m a solo player or I play with my 2 or 3 friends. That’s it. I rarely play multiplayer. I played WOW for years solo till they ruined that game. (About the time they added pet battles.) It’s sad because the story would make a great campaign from what I’ve seen so far. (Except for the quest that ripped of Hell Raiser.) Backtracking wasn’t a thing I cared about. Portals. D1 had portals, D2 and D3…. portals. Also, dungeons? I don’t count cellars and tiny holes dungeons, so I hope they aren’t counting those. Even the caves in D3 are longer and more levels. D1 WAS a dungeon lol.
It just looks like Diablo 3 reskinned
EH i dont know if i like this title… BETA should be in there.
You have a cat! Instant sub.
Played it and found D4 lifeless and empty. If anything it made me appreciate D2 for the gem it is.
I like that they made respecing no big deal so if I found an ability specific legendary I could at least try it out without any consequences.
I just hope we can hide player names seeing “bigpickle69” was pretty jarring.
looking fit bro
Barbs really need life steal or just a ton of health and armor. You have to be on the frontlines nonstop because you’re solely melee but you will just get one shot instantly by just regular mobs sometimes.
tl;dr: yes!
Most of my complaints are based around my experience with other ARPGs, it just feels like there are a lot of lessons that were ignored. The way the NPC dialogue completely halts the flow of the game, the meaningless fetch quests and forced RP interaction, the cutscenes really dragging on, dungeons that require backtracking through empty areas, the secondary stats on gear being basically meaningless, skill progression being extremely linear, outdated graphics for a modern game. But judging by the positive comments there must be an audience for it, I guess it’s just not for me.
7:50 same I’m the same exact way and I’ve watched every cutscene in act1
@demausgaming has necromancer footage
Did you get high enough for the wolf pup? 😀 😀
Played druid and didnt love it at all
I watched all the cut scenes they were nice
I missed it, did you watch any content about the game before playing?
😂
I feel like you rushed to the end of Act 1 & was hence why you felt like you was getting weaker theres lots of side quest content it would of made more sense to at least lvl to mid 20’s or 30’s before finishing the story you’d of had higher lv abilities that do much more damage but hey i’m just a completionist so I do all the side stuff and explore every corner of a world before moving on, so ya know (you should see me on BOTW) besides I guess theres no wrong way to play diablo even if watching it did make me feel uncomfortable… I’m more of a journey not the destination kind of guy!
I still play Diablo 1
LMB in diablo games suck.
d4 is awesome ive loved every second of the closed and open beta tbh it plays way better on a controller
Hold shift when attacking with left click and you won’t move towards the enemy
Diablo 3.5, glad to play the beta so I now know not to buy it. It’s like a mobile game with cutscenes every 2 minutes. Can’t even shoot my bow without unlocking a skill. Just make a game like d2!
Edit: nearly forgot, don’t event get me started on no separate key bind for pick-up loot.
Why you’re reviews always so far behind everyone else’s? You’re awfully slow.
Feel like a Alpha
Polished UI LOL? Bro come one, it’s literally a console port UI. Can’t even go full screen for skill tree. Proper mobile game UI.
My biggest gripe is that the skills are limited to only six options. I was REALLY hoping they were going to move away from that Diablo 3 skill limitation nonsense and go back to the Diablo 2 keyboard settings. There are sooooooo many awesome and incredible skills and abilities for all the classes and with this stupid six row max thing….. it totally ruins it. I had a blast playing the game, but we will see what happens with the skill expansions.
No matter how messed up Blizz has become, their cinematics are still top-tier
Dude, I just play Diablo three all the way through not too long ago and I thought the storytelling in Diablo three was like one of the best parts of the game it’s all very well voice acted in and you actually you know wanna listen to it at least once I was given the type of game it is, you’re gonna get bored with it after a while
worst then diablo immortal fuck this game 100000 times 2023 and games worst then 2003 maple story better then this game
I hope they fix the memory stuff cause it starts at like 13gb after a while the longer i play it goes above 20gb+ memory
Thank you for your time and information on Diablo 4. I played all 5 Characters and I did like all range characters better than the melee characters but that also may be a personal preference.
Bring back the late 90s early 00s where companies were passionate, genuine, creative and gave a shit. D4 is trash and needs to be thrown in the garbage along with the company that made it.
i’m getting tempted to buy 🤣
Worth playing yes, but dunno if it’s worth 70€. The combat rn is worse than Last Ark that is ftp, skill customization is a lot worse than Poe that also is ftp. Classes feel unbalanced while leveling, too much no sense game breaking builds, few skill choices and shallow skill trees, only 6 active skills. We will see…
No Peon… the ultimate goal of the character customization is to make waifus… you cleary know nothing about it.
Could you put you progress for path of exile in a video that would be kind of cool
Liked the phrase “although if I was a mele player (…) I’d probably be calling the game complete dogshit”
I honestly tried to play beta. I know my right is not ultra new: i7-10700K, RTX2060S, 32GB RAM but out of three launch attempts (after watching intro movie) I had:
– D4 crashed due to running out of memory (I had 24GB free before launching game)
– D4 crashed for no reason
– D4 crashed because it’s files were corrupted.
And yes, my graphics card drivers are up to date.
I have uninstalled the beta and really not eager to check on launch – maybe when it goes on 50% sale.
Open beta when game crashes like that is total garbage move from Blizz.
JUST PLAYED for few hours idk … kinda boring same ol same ol from POE and diablo .. idk
I find going into new areas and towns the loading can cause rubber banding and framerate dips. It’s very annoying.
Played Barbarian all today and can confirm, game felt like complete dogshit.
i can move while looking at the map lol wtf
Im all for this game if they dont ruin it with monetization. Been really enjoying the rogue class.
TLDR – nope ; just wait till it releases and watch someones playthru , the cinematics will be bliz quality but the plot will also unfortunately be modern bliz quality , ie shit ; 100% d4 is a shitshow just like d3 was and it will be years before this game isnt a hot mess and it still wont be worth your time then =/ just like d3 is today ; check out a better title like Last Epoch or PoE [and fwiw GGG aint perfect but they are certainly better than actibliz , and PoE2 is looking decent and could even be releasing later in q4]
yoyo bro. what about the Six-Path Healthy project. Let update us, brooooooooooo :v
@TheLazyPeon FYI, they’ve release information regarding balance between class, which is a complaint for a lot of player. Basicaly, they are saying that classes are balance on average during the whole progression, but it doesn’t mean that a level 10 necro and a level 10 barbarian will be balance. Also, Barbarian will have access to more legendary equipped, which should help them later in the game, compare to other class.
What a shock. The cutscenes are the only thing they’re good at
maybe they changed something i played with barbarian and i had no issues
I was interested until I saw it was 70 dollars USD. I’ll wait for a sale at that price.
I am playing Barbarian and i am hitting like a truck idk why people are crying only because u are not insta op from level 1 ?
From me aqnd my friends experience, no. Its not really worth it and will end up like d3
It’s just the same thing as Diablo 1, Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, except with too many convoluted talents, boring story and mediocre gameplay. I mean, Lilith? Really? She’s not even scary. A boring game with boring and uninspired gameplay. Glad it was an open beta this weekend. Activision saved me $70.
I want to watch it all but, I really don’t want to know anything before I can play it.
I’ve only played on one character so far and I ran into the butcher in a different area. Are we meant to beat him because he chased me around and finally killed me. I was a necro and he never aggroed my skeletons, just me.
i dont like diablo 4. i took rogue to 25 on the beta. the graphics are terrible its color palette is made up mostly of various shades of grey.
dont like the vulnerable effect. makes it stupid easy to be one shotted by elite monsters. is what over 20 different damage modifier stats. not only do you have your 3 primary damage types melee, ranged, and magic. its further broken down to a ridiculous amount.
magic find grind is pointless considering you take a regular rare item and turn it into a legendary.
now with what i have read about d4. it focuses to heavily on team play meaning people arent gonna be able to pwn large groups of monsters by themselves.
end game sounds like its gonna be terrible. be prepared for your maxed out character to be pwned by a newb on a daily basis.
Personally I found the open world quite generic. I wouldn’t have even guessed it was open world with all the loading and instances.
Half the skills are garbage until you get the right unique. Ruins the leveling experience.
Side quests are shithouse.
Sorc is op cuz they get their full kit in beta. As of now barbarians don’t get techniques in beta but in the full game they get them around lvl 15. Druids don’t get their spirit companion till act 2 and rogues don’t get their last stance till lvl 30
Raid: Shadow Legends? You’re god damn right.
😂
I think the transparent map thing is done on purpose. they want you to stop and look at your map so when you are moving from place to place you are watching the world not the map.
Good video , I am playing Diablo 4 on ps5 excellent graphics . I agree cutscenes really good loving the combat .
Thanks to this video and everyone’s comments I’m just going to buy torchlight 2 instead 😁😁😁😁😁😁
PoE looks better than this game.
Bro its beta quit beaching its not even the official release
Had a proper deep belly laugh at the Ad preroll lol.
I find no overlay map as a pro. Makes you focus more on actual environment and not just minimap. It’s making it more immerse.
This crashed to desktop twice and my whole PC once. I’m level 6.
Ewl your sponsor/ad fit among the lamest games in our universe
Good to finally see someone as nitpicky as myself complain about disappointing character customization
The voice acting in the intro scene is world class.
I played the alpha or whatever it was before this beta and wasn’t very impressed… Felt like immortal but slower and ambling pointlessness. The gore and darkness of the game weren’t intriguing enough and the story was ehhhhh
You feel weaker when you leveling and gearing up because you spell build is pretty random and bad 😀
I can solo world boss world 1 with Rouge melee, it’s just barb that is rough
There’s no way in hell I’d buy a blizzard game or invest time in it before I know for sure it’s not fucked up in some way. Even then, I might just leave their games for a year or two so they finish whatever bullshit they add to it.
I went in with low expectations and still managed to be generally disappointed.
the struggle if you want to play Diablo 4 but don’t want to support Blizzard…
is there any reason that you’re playing at 1080p on a RTX 4090?
Is it worth playing – Yes
Is it worth pre-ordering- never
Is it worth current price tag – no
Conclusion – wait for sale or buy if you’re a diehard fan but always know that Bli$$ard will find a way to include microtransactions
Looks woke AF…nope.
Im from Diablo II. Where is Paladin?
initially i was like “fk blizz, im done with their bs.” after watching this “ok im pre-purchasing, gimme them skins.”
Raid is trash & my god the amount of begging for money via ads it’s so disgusting
Chad: Say my name!
Scared boy: You’re Raid Shadow Legend.
Raid Shadow Legend: You’re goddamn right.
“Sacrifice the the like button” HAHAHAHAHA
19:07 in the control options you can remove left mouse from move, attack, and collect so its just move and the other two options you’d just need to remap your keys for.
Diablo 3 dont have overlay map, lets be honest thats good. when playing d2 or POE well 99% just look at the map so its like playing the Map game and not watching anything else around
I mean balance is not poor, but there is a comically op Sorcerer build, where you stand in one place, spam barriers, and you just facetank the worldboss until it dies :^)
Who here from the d2 days realizing no Diablo will ever live up to it. Trap sin, hammer dins, enigma twink zealot Pali builds, Amazon one shot spear, fireball sorc, tracing bow amazon, hellfire torch!!!!!! Nothing will ever live up to it.
Stronger you get the weaker you feel, of course because we know from Anthem destiny and other arpgs that they have live, player specific nerfs doing less damage than shown, negative offsets to what your stats show..all to push you towards mtx, why has everyone forgotten
I’d never been really interested in Diablo after playing a lot of D2, and getting kind of bored of the click and run. But seeing this actually makes me want to try it out!
Gotta hold the right Ctrl button when playing Diablo, Mate! Rookie mistake lol
Considering how the game has fallen,I really don’t care.they made it into a service game, I’m glad it’s having problems and I hope it crashes & burns, diablo 4 is awful. Blizzard/Activision can take battlenet & diablo 4 and suck it!
Ehh peon you should add thet these are your first impressions of the BETA version of the diablo IV in the title
3:00 does the game take place in Africa?
Game is bad dont like it its same shit like d3 ist just bad and not fun to play
I’ve been playing Diablo since the first game on PC in the late 90’s, and this does not feel like a Diablo game. I’ve been playing the open beta, and it’s not good. It seems to have little to no attachment to any notable characters/locations from the previous games, and feels more like a phone game than a game born of the Diablo franchise. So far I’m not impressed. It’s darker than D3, but boring.. And for some reason, all the NPCs talk slow, like, as if all their spoken dialog had been slowed down by 25-50%, and it’s just sleep inducing to listen to.. I’ve only just made it to the first actual town, but it’s not a good first impression. They even changed the playable character looks, which I’m not usually opposed to, but that only further separates it from it’s original look and feel. Also, now it seems that certain things that should be cinematics, are now instead cutscenes (using in-game grfx, not nearly as immersive, or breathtaking in their visuals).
The opening cinematic was great. It seemed they put a lot into that, but it’s the only part of the game that’s really felt like Diablo so far. And I’ve heard no mention of Diablo himself, only this female Diablo replacement (Lilith). If there’s no Diablo, then this isn’t a Diablo game, and pulling a gender swap on the main character for the purpose of virtue signalling, is not cool.. I know Lilith is a part of hellborn lore and all, but she is not Diablo. They did the same thing in the Sabrina TV series by replacing the Devil with Lilith for the sake of virtue signalling.. And all that tells us, is that they’ve ran out of ideas, and they’re just trying to sell us another empty product at full price.
Side note: Charged bolt is garbage now. It only fires around 3 from your character, and uses half your mana for each cast.. Frozen orb is a better use of skill points by far.
just a tid bit, top tier computers dont have SSD’s =)
f
Play with controller. Best feature they added
best raid intro ever
Pros: its a new video game okay cool skip! lets see the negatives what did took them a decade to make a D4
Tier 1 difficulty is DEFINITELY to easy
As a theorycrafter, the lack of build diversity gives me no interest to pick this game up.
it didnt catch me
FYI, gear will give you the +1 even if you are at rank 0 for any skill. So, you can use a piece of gear to enable a skill you haven’t actually unlocked which can be pretty useful for early game utility without having to nerf core spells by deviating points away from them.
P2W?
I’m enjoying the hell out of this game. Necromancer is so much fun. Also it looks nothing like Diablo 3 to any haters
If Blizzard made games as well as they make cutscenes – I would never leave my PC.
it doesn’t feel like diablo anymore.
What do you have for a graphics card…?
Only reason people claim melee is dogshit is because the other classes are way too overtuned……
Your experience on sorceress for example is absolute garbage you just run around 1 shotting everything with no engaging combat or gameplay.
Nerf the OP ranged classes damage and defensives or play a barbarian and see how much more enjoyable the game is.
great review and yeah it seems pretty solid
Fapped to ya video brotha
The game is a dumpster fire. Too many dialog popups and to frequent. The movement felt clunky and animations feel cheap and not very smooth. The characters all feel like they have a board up the arses. I’ve played a couple hours now and I was bored out of my mind. The whole game feels uninspired and a slower , sloppier version of D3. I was really hoping for something more along the lines of D1 / D2 blend.. Glad I didn’t prepurchase this crap fest.
You can set up a keybind to make your chart stay put while you left click to avoid mopving when missing ennemies.
I didn’t know there was people that didn’t care about games story’s beside me good to know I’m not alone 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was my first time playing a Diablo game (even tho I’ve played a lot of MMOs before) and I really enjoyed it. All the complains that I have are just little complains tbh, the game is really cool.
My impression so far from the Beta is that it’s very well-polished and smooth. There are a few technical kinks, but it’s pretty much what one would expect from Blizztivision: bafflingly massive production values, not straying too far from the original formula, with smart improvements here and there. More of the same, but modernized. Also, the storytelling seems MUCH improved over previous titles.
No overlay because it’s made for console prolly. Sucks
didn’t give a single fek about diablo, tried the beta weekends as a newbie, hooked af, super cool to see the same kind of reaction from you.
Why does everybody call this an MMO? From what I have heard, you can only see 11 other players at once. That’s not really ‘MASSIVELY’ multiplayer online. Battle Royale games have more players. They are no MMO’s.
The rubberbanding you experience during zone transitions has nothing to do with your hardware. The server transfers your character to another shard (12-player open-world instance) and due to the load in this stress test the transition lags. Imagine your character being sent from one computer (or virtual machine) to another per email.
Why do they use sharding/layering? To save money on the server infrastructure.
Every game that uses shards/layers/channels is not an MMO. Old WOW was an MMO. Unlimited players on your screen. Not sure when they added instancing/sharding/layering/channels. I stopped playing in cataclysm, the downfall of WoW, and came back in Legion which was decent.
Always online + Open World … hard pass. Since when did Diablo need those btw?
So, on your click moving you can actually key bind a “move and not attack” option to something. I have it bound to one of the side buttons on my MMO mouse. You can also root yourself in place by holding shift and then using your skills so you are not running all over the place by accident.
I will say my first playthrough of the beta was with Sorc, as I knew that was the class I would play first as I loved the class in D2. I could not get into the melee classes, like Barb or Rogue, but not necessarily because I felt them weak, just wasn’t vibing with them, haha. During the current open beta I am going haaaard with the Druid, a class that is a slog fest to start out with and is super gear dependent, but once you get to that point of being able to do more, they are soooo fun, even if everyone seems to dislike them, haha.
All-in-all, I am greatly enjoying the D4 beta, with the few exceptions of frame issues now and then as well as the rubber banding/invis walls. I do feel the game could benefit from a map overlay, though I honestly have not found it the most inconvenient thing to be without.
How does the controller feel? I’ve got an old pc but a series x. And I’m really struggling trying to figure out what I’m going to get it on
Complains about left click.
Every arpg veteran ever: oh you sweet summer child.
At no point did diablo fans ask blizzard to turn the game into a lost ark type mmo-lite. Seeing others constantly in the world honestly ruins it for me.
I enjoyed the beta. Plays a lot like d2. Way more fun than babys first rpg diablo 3. Seems solid but i bet a ton of people wont like it. Whatever
Necro is _so_ much fun to play…until you get to a boss that doesn’t have ads–and then they are _complete_ dogshit. But that’s fairly rare, thankfully. Corpsesplosion is The Shit.
pressing tab will get you map overlay
I watched through the add just for you buddy, even though Raid makes me sick because it’s been stuffed down my throat a hundred times over.
Lol I’m playing barb and i love it.
Just got to find the right skills and gear to mix to get the right dmg.
Might be the best game ever but I just won’t play games from a company like Activision Blizzard anymore. After everything with the stealing of breast milk and bro culture they aren’t deserving of any more dollars.
at level 50 you unlock paragons, and codex of power and legendary items contain powerful stats that can also be imbued onto rare items, and Unqiue items will Augment your skills
OF COURSE it is worth omg how could you even ask ? omg
Will it be made available on the STEAM platform? I use STEAM for all my games, except for Star Citizen.
Codex of power are stats u can imbue onto your rare items or something like that, they are not passives
2:20 skip raid shadow legends
If you chose different skills then you wouldn’t feel weaker as your leveled. Hydras, Blizzard, Frozen Shield make Sorc OP and they melt everything pretty easy. Choosing fireball as your right click helps a ton too.
Art style and voice acting is really good but the combat feels pretty generic and kind of clunky. Was expecting better given how everyone is hyping this. Was bored in like 2 hours of spamming left clock right click, with no interest in trying more than the 2 classes I tried.
I hate your voice lol
Nice game but i dont reccomend buying yet they might do what they did with diablo immortal where the game during beta was great with no p2w trasactions so it might be something similar with diablo 4 so wait and then buy 🙂
imagine complaining about the balance in beta
Raid sucks common man don’t lie to your audience.
Cheers for the insightful video as always but can I just say damn Peon you’re looking good these days bro! Good to see ya looking so healthy, keep up the hard work my guy! 💪 PS loved the vibe with the cat and “cosy night of gaming” haha that’s what it’s about
Shift left click is your friend for fighting and you probably felt weaker as you progressed due to armor/skill choices.
No Paladin fuck this shit im out
Worlds, instances, always online. This isn’t the game series I grew up playing but if a new generation wants to play that way and own nothing then that’s up to them. If you had asked me ten, fifteen years ago if I would have skipped out on Diablo 4 of all things I would have said no, but here I am, not caring, just slightly sad.
Anyone bitching and moaning about the overall game are absolutely insane. Can’t please some people.
I cant get over the fact that i feel like i played this game already. The entire worlds system is just a 1 to 1 copy of lost ark. The zones, the dungeons/cellars/exploration/titles/events/quest-sidequest system/herbs…everything. Most of the things are even done better in lost ark. The difficulty is an absolute joke, played all the way till 25+ never even came close to dying, everything just dies, nothing really does dmg, the gear progression is very unnoticable. If i put on a 50+ hp belt in PoE for example i feel that, my character becomes noticeably tankier, here its just another stat that doesnt matter. I put on complete white gear at 25, nothing changed, game is still easy…I agree on the story tho, thats kinda good, but beyond that i am very disappointed.
It better have a fully only total singleplayer mode because if not, its a no for me.
It’s garbage im so glad I didn’t buy it.
Flop city much to the surprise of noone
Not a fan of PvP idea
Yeah honestly you didn’t play it long enough. The major issue is how samey the game feels. All the dungeons are identical, all the monsters are identical and irrelevant, there are like 3-4 events that just repeat.
so far the Barbarian and Necromancer are amazing, they stated in this game each class comes into its own at different times, so some classes start slower and get better later on, Great game so far luvin it
15:00 When playing Diablo, I’ve always put my movement on scroll wheel. Just spamming that to run and shift/left click to attack! helped loads
After playing PoE, D4 feels.. “not enough”. I don’t care about graphics all that much. Gameplay feels like much more important part of the game, rather than if you can see the freckles on your character. And so far, i’m not really lured in by blizzards work. It’s slightly annoying they havent made left mouse click editable. Melee characters “self-stunning” themselves by locking in animation-swings, because game decided i want to attack target rather than move away is bad design 101.
For an Isometric ARPG, I’m impressed by the amount of immersion they managed to put into it.
The music is also so fitting and creates such a great atmosphere.
Voice acting is very good as well.
But they failed to include the ONE THING that i love about ARPGs, “inventory tetris”. Why is everything the same size and shape?! Bah!
And i am glad they didn’t go with a skill tree as complex as PoE, i don’t want to have to copy a spec from some website in order to not such.
Big plus for transmog.
And i’m glad they are focusing a bit more on the story and the world.
Cause otherwise i don’t find a reason to play ARPGs, it’s usually just bam-boom-bang kill-kill-kill but without the immersion of feeling like YOU ARE the character, because isometric.
So here i feel like there is a reason to want to play this. Hopefully there are plenty of deadly traps and hidden treasures, and maybe even puzzles.
Never played a Diablo game before and I’m not sure yet if I’m loving it. The gameplay I’m lukewarm on so far – I know unpopular opinion, that’s alright. But damn, the cutscenes have me fucking excited.
This game is 💩 its like D3 and diablo phone had a retarded baby.
Yes I’ve enjoyed every minute of the beta
D2R is the superior game. Won’t be wasting my time with this game. The engine is for children
you should mention in the title ‘Beta’ as the game won’t release for 3 months – nice review otherwise
This game could easily use DirectStroage API, such a wasteful opportunity.
I’ve got to level 25 in the open beta and D4 is a very polished ARPG, everything feels good and responsive and the environments are stunning if mostly quite bland in colour. Music was good but made me feel like I was playing frostpunk and lacked any real impact or variety, only once did I really notice it when some nice ambient electric guitar was vibin out.
Gameplaywise I’m not sure what I was expecting going in but I felt the game was lacking in innovation somehow. I mean it’s really great at being ARPG but there’s nothing really unique or special about it. It’s basically exactly the same gameplay as the previous iterations with a coat of paint.
I guess I expected more after such a long development period. It’s a solid 8.5/10 when it should have been a 9 or 10.
I agree with the lack of character creation options such as the hair and facial presets/customisation for sure
Not worth it
Hold Shift and left click bruv
I tryed beta itis not worth 70€ max 20€ for diablo 4
dude, this guy has got a god tier ASMR voice
Hold shift to stay in place when you’re attacking.
From the looks of it, this game feels more like “Path of Exile 2”, than “Diablo 4”.
I disagree with a lot of the end review… there are ways and settings to move past a mob even if you click on it by accident. A game like diablo has always tried to be a challenge and keep up with the players power. So I personally felt that it was fine to scale mobs up with you. After all, this is diablo, gear, skill sets, and personal skill is what separates the players of the same classes.
Really? A solid and polished UI? mate have a look at it again, navigate through the interface a bit…
They made all dmg come from weapon like D3 so it’s NO, trash game. Can’t believe they make a point not to pick D2 elements, like a mule Bli$$.
Peon are you a Diablo virgin? Hold Shift to stand in place and shoot. =)
I’m actually enjoying it a lot so far but only played about a hour
I played the same game in 1996….
@TheLazyPeon make sure you go in again this open beta weekend and get one toon up to level 20 so you can get the wolf pup backpack when the game launches. 😉
It has a bit of a slow start, the UI is very dull and the talent system is convoluted imo, everything else is fine
the neckbeard though….
I don’t like it at all. Graphics and art style is bad. Combat feels clunky and slow. Too many cut scenes in the beginning. I just need one to set the mood and then i wanna kill stuff. Instead we got lots of cut scenes and the first quest was a fucking fetch quest. POE2 is not released yet but D4 just looks like trash compared to what we’ve seen from poe2.
Excellent game, having so much fun.
Not really a helpful video for determining if its just more of the same old crap from Activision or a game thats actually worth playing.
Clean and polished UI???? Are you kidding me
garbage game
Sorry you are absolutly wrong, i play Babarian, and he is absolutly immortal, when you know how it works , Sorcerer is a easy class, put points here and there and you can kill, Babarian is more thinking, and when you know how to skill and play, you are a fortress with massive damage output, support and crowd control.
The quick answer is Yes it’s worth playing but not if you want to play as the Barb.
played with two friends, to grindy to be fun in the long run. But its diablo.
I think the game looks nice, but also really shallow.
So basically a typical Blizzard game.
And I think the chain “lighting” feels totally garbage.
Lovers of lightning storms like myself adore the power of lightnings, this conveys 0 power at all. Static shocks have more oomph than this little blue piss stream does.
Are you showing off the game or your voice? Stop skipping to just when you’re talking and allow some damn gameplay to play out so we can actually get a sense of what you’re talking about. I give this first impression a 2/10.
Been playing as a barb and loving it wasn’t planning on pre ordering but after playing beta I think I might change my mind lol
Have a dislike for the annoying ad.
All this guy does are paid commercials…. Zero procent genuine
As a Diablo 3 player here are suggestions to the “left click” problem:
I usually bind forced move to scroll wheel and forced attack to shift+left click, that way if I want to just move i simply scroll up and down continuousy and if I want to use my long-range left click ability on someone outside the screen I can hold Shift and fire the ability without moving.
Especially the scrolling up and down to force move i think is quite universal in aRPGs and feels great once you get used to it; I usually bind my mobility spell to right click and main damage spell to left click, with 1-4 being buffs and cooldowns.
But is it as amazingly amazing as the amazing rAiD sHaDoW lEgEnDs?!?!?!?1111oneone
Editing on the Dark Souls 3 Soul of Cinder ST onto the boss fight was a nice touch
Beat the beta my only gripe is no mount for beta because walking was forever
If there is another Butcher and Leoric I ain’t buying it.
I wasn’t a fan of the MMO features until we did a World Boss and I saw people dying over and over and yet randoms would run up to them and ress them. We barely beat the 15 minute timer. It was pretty cool, and I’m okay with the online only now.
As far as cutscenes go, Diablo may be the best franchise ever in that regard. I love all of Blizzards cutscenes, but man… Diablo is just such a sick setting.
What I don’t understand is why millions of Youtubers around the world try to make people play raid shadow legends.
been waiting for this one – Peon is king
Let’s not lie anymore, D3 and D4 are not Diablo games…they are ok as an arpg, but not as D1 and D2 were perceived. They could do so much more but they insist on this MMO like abomination
Surprised you put UI as a pro. You think clicking 5 times and opening a scroll options (clearly designed for phones or consoles) having to scroll half way to see resists is a pro? Hell no.
so path of exile except from a terrible greedy a$$ company
he starts at 3:10
I hoped we’d be able to move with WASD but since that’s not the case…I just rebound my basic attack.
The movement was doing my head in and I wasn’t in a keyboard and mouse mood so I thought “I wonder if it has controller support”. I plugged my controller in and sure enough it does. It felt WEIRD playing Diablo with a controller but guess what. It felt a million times better! Especially as a ranged magic dealer! I’d highly recommend trying that, it was easy to move about and aim at things.
I saw a barbarian melting a 35 elite in 2 sec, while me sorc and 2 other fought for 8+sec
There is an option for D2R that’s called “Force move” and you keybind it to anything you want, and when you hold that key down, your character keeps running in whatever direction your mouse is pointed to.
It’s definitely in the settings you just have to find it. Would save you a lot from miss-clicking stuff and potentially dying.
What is with the editing. It’s just constantly jumps to a random new screen every 2 seconds. Doesn’t flow and painful to watch
Reality, pay $100 to que and get kick a lot.😂
Nice review! Btw, holding down shift while attacking will hold you in place. That should help you a lot.
You should be switching between world level 1 and 2 to avoid feeling like you are getting weaker. Anything above the base world level is meant to level you faster than you get gear for and is meant for alt gear funneled characters, and those who want to feel challenged (and therefore want difficulty to go up), anything above level 2 (not available yet) is meant for geared funneled characters who want a challenge.
Great review! Thank you and hiya from North Yorkshire 😊
There is no point talking about balance in a beta with only 25 levels, limited access to legendaries, no sets and no uniques that drop in higher diffs on max lvl that basically change the way your build works.
Ew Raid, mobile games meh. But I get it. Love your content
That chain lightning will likely get nerfed, it feels too op, but I love it. The game feels pretty good so far after about 3 hours.
Inflation man, we gotta think that way to survive
felt like i was playing lost ark
If you want it to be more than a lawn mower simulator then no its not worth it. The talents and abilities seem interesting until they all do the same thing which is killing everything on the entire screen instantly, move to next room, repeat. Just mowing the grass.
Haha that Raid shadow legends lead up was great
Nice observation about the Mouse and KB controls. It’s exactly the same as Diablo Immortal. Modern Diablo is better with a gamepad, imho.
Hey LazyPeon, I have been a big fan of your content and enjoy watching your content on-and-off. I know you have been training IRL skills quite a bit, but WOW (pun intended) it is really showing. You look like a viking warrior straight out of an RPG. Inspiring man!
ok i stopped watching as soon as you started advertising raid shadow bs.. bye
The point with “the stronger you get the weaker you feel” would be a huge bummer for me if they don’t change that.
I really hate it when games do that, i want to feel stronger overtime but when mobs level with you where is the point in getting “stonger” in thew first place?
“I didn’t expect this level of story telling” yeah sure bud
What Blizzard did here with Diablo 4 was literally a genious idea. By letting us play diablo 4 open beta, they basicly ran a free commercial campaign for path of exile. Everyones looking at it, playing it, getting interested in arpgs a little more and then realizing poe is simply the better game hands down so they can very well just play that one instead.
My only thought was around, how do they plan to introduce mounts? I think this was just blizzard copying competitors; for example, The Witcher, ESO and Elden Ring.
I just do not think it’s going to work in this game. I could be wrong, but portals etc., kind of take the need for mounts away. This is a dungeon crawler after all.
NGL I haven’t looked at it a ton, but it really seems like a Diablo Immortal and Diablo 3 merge. Diablo 3 was fun but the endgame was, well basically non existent. Diablo has always suffered from lack of new content. Which is why POE has been so popular for years and years now. I much prefer the playstyle of Diablo 2 but without any new content there’s only so much to do and unless you want to pvp there’s even less. I suspect Diablo 4 will have similar issues in that regard since they all have.
They need to add WASD and they need to let us move the UI around and resize it.
It did not felt like diablo. felt like a mmo.
yes, the game is best for people who have never experienced diablo or play arpgs… trees are not creative/spontaneous. diablo is now a mmo, more than likely you will HAVE TO craft potions and consumables to just grind high end content. (??? WHY), story value = monetary value should be around $40. Clunky gameplay + not accessible due to being $70-100 while PoE(f2p), Last epoch($35). Items look mobile esq. Like in other arps you can go to previous zones to make your character stronger, but due to level scaling you WILL NOT be able to do this. There also a TON of recycled abilities and monsters from d2/3. Personally I refunded the game, and will wait for a 60%+ sale. this game is d3.5.
since when has blizzard made the game better after launch?? @19:20 d3 didn’t even get a map overlay and has been out for years.
how many launches have they failed now(im counting horrid queues as a fail)
I rolled barb. I KNOW BARB NEEDS GEAR to FEEL GOOD. Barb will PROBABLY be strongest due to the amount of weapons you can have equipped+legendary affixes.
you get late, there is a million youtubers telling the same, so no one is more special and have more reasons than personal reasons. The game has been in development from more than 10 years (i know because i´ve seen from blizzard artists leaks in their professional profile, and they used diablo 4 logo years before they used in public, i showed in blizz forums but people didn´t believed me.
Actually that happened with wow too, they spend more years than people think, before warcraft 2 they had the idea to make it a mmo rpg. But Diablo is distilled from years of failure and good things.
The beta is aufull in terms of bugs, but the game like they´ve said is an mmo rpg so they will launch more expansions and for me is better to pay for cosmetics and the game instead of a subscription to spend 10 years to get a simple mount outdated and with 2 pixels, they have made a new brand game engine, so they are improving it, because even wow will have to use it in future.
There are also leaks of revamps on wow, but still, they don´t get new players because is too old, specially mechanics. Also they doesn´t have mostly all the time voice and this is bad for wow.
But coming again from Diablo 4, i´ve maxed 2 characters, played sorcerer and necro, also tried rogue, and i´ve played with others so i´ve seen others characters and their things so is pretty awesome, and since is now an mmo and not just another rpg, they could add more classes, also wouldn´t think wrong if they add also new species like in wow. Not elves, cause is boring, but i´ve seen a picture of a angel being something as a playable character like another leak with wings, so could be humanized demons also humanized angels, because at the end horadrim are the mix of them. So could some of them have horns, etc. Is not something that couldn´t happen-

Seems like peon hasn’t played diablo 3… Cause the “skill tree” in Diablo 3 is puke worthy, and he wouldn’t be saying how small the skill tree is if he played 3.. he would have said “thank fuck actual skill customization and build choices”
The rubber banding between zones got much better after the first day or so in the first weekend. There’s a bind for force move, which I put on another mouse button, but the way you described the issues with having it on the left click were right on the money. I didn’t miss the map overlay, I used the right-click-to-pin on the map and followed the path. (which is not always exactly right, but I actually LIKED that because c’mon, it’s an unexplored map.) The cutscenes are AMAAAZING, and the story is incredible. Just the conversations with random villagers contributed a lot to the story and feel of the world. Melee has always been tough for Blizzard to get right, just look at D2R, 20-some years and it’s still the red-headed stepchild. Great video overall!
Complete dog $hit. Priceless.
I’m eager for release & stable servers. Didn’t want a PoE copy but this game won’t innovate much either. After DI I hoped for more. Necro is OP
This was my first time playing a Diablo game. Is this what everyone wanted for D4? I found it pretty boring tbh. Guess it’s not for me :/
Played yesterday and today, and finished act I with a sorcerer. Really solid and enjoyable gameplay, the art direction is outstanding (as usual with Blizzard games), the sound design and music, magnificient. I also really like that they reduced the scale of the events going on in the story. You’re not the usual Chosen One (which was the case in D3), blessed with god-like powers, facing divine entities of cosmos magnitude. You’re just a skilled adventurer traveling around, helping the common folks, trying to follow Lilith and stop her. But I’m still cautious about two things: monetization and end-game gameplay loop and systems.
Has he done a video on Raid Shadow Legends?
Peon you should cover is it worth playing path of exile in 2023, as it got updated a lot since you last played
I kind of just want him to show the game and not talk so much.
The lack of a minimap overlay is baffling, especially since it was in the previous games! And can we talk about how gross that dodge animation is? What’s the point in having a dodge if it roots you in place for 0.5 seconds afterwards? The game looks great, but it seems like they messed up some of the core things.Thanks for playing this so I didn’t have to lol.
haha BEST RAID SHADOW LEGENDS promo. That intro is epic. Actually made me stay watching the video after hearing “Raid Shadow Legends” As soon as i hear that im 99.9% OUT of the video. But you Deserve the full 20 min video watch since your channel is amazing <3
I mean melee isn’t that bad. Did you even try it?
After watching so many people playing Dark Souls’ games I’d say the ultimate goal of character customization is to create the biggest abomination against god
personally I watched the first cutscene then was like I’m gonna skip the rest so I can enjoy it all on full release.
I starter with sorc which i found too easy then tried barb and it was garder yes but alot more enjoyable not just moving Down everything in sight without Care
I LOVE getting constantly dropped from the game.
I was sous from the start, because they sounded Russian.
unlike from me,
u cant make video of first impression from D4 and to advertise some shit game, trash
Short answer: No
I think other arpgs spoiled me too much and I just couldn’t find much enjoyment in the D4 betas
Terrible voice acting, yeesh
Hold down the shift key while you attack and you will attack in place without moving
tried the Druid very good class
melee with lighting strike on weapons(like wow) can tranform bear and warewolf .
lag spikes and loading zones big companies like Bliz will fix it soon..but 70 euros for the standard edition of Diablo IV is too much. the story is solid the cinematics top tier.
1:30 DEEZ NUTS !! Huh GOTEEEEM !!
Lazy peon looking lean
*FCK ACTIVISION-Blizzard.*
*Never touching their shit products ever again.*
Oh yes, everything should be 1 shot screen whipe easy. Ofcourse. Jesus..
It is exacly as hard as it should be. Actually it is to easy imo even on tier2
It has to be a challange not a friken boring button hold, eyes closed, daft nonsense.
Yes.. you can assign controls.
You have the option to change buttons as you wish and you put it as a cons. What is this? Lazyness?
I dont understand.
Game is balanced quite ok. Definatelly it is not poor. Wtf?
This looks very primitive and made on a small budget and not a game by Blizzard.
tried the beta and i felt disapointed, no wasd to move is annoying, but the the gameplay itself, might be a ME issue, but just feels something is missing, the game feels kinda boring compared to other arpgs out there (even D3 feels faster), i wasn’t hyped about it, so my expectation weren’t that high, but I was curious to see if would be worth it, might be a pass for me though, maybe next time they release an expation it gets better
Hey you still here!
Diablo 4 is so bad it made me go back to Lost Ark.
I will buy it in 5 years when it will be 5 euros on christmas sales.
I played the beta yesterday for about 7 hours… I ended up uninstalling because I literally was bored and almost falling asleep… Same thing happens when I play Diablo 3… It’s really sad that Blizzard couldn’t make a game that can keep me awake in 11 years.
You can tell he has never played diablo before
Not all class feels good as wizard…. the barb sucks ass right now lol
If you have a 3080ti then don’t play the game yet because it can break your graphics card so be warned.
Sorcerer not necromancer
Still waiting for the “suhprise muthafuka” p2w scheme like they did with diablow immoral.
I have a few problems with the game mechanics so far, but I may buy D4 just for the story and cutscenes. It’s been quite a while since I was so invested into a game’s story.
I stay I watch I comment and don’t preorder
This game feels like D3 with d2 esthetics nothing more all the skills are the same nothing new and the combat is klanky to straight slow most of the time. For a game that cost 70 euros thats to much.
I agree, also hate level scaling in games, but that’s one thing they won’t change unfortunately
I’v played cb and playing ob all class at 25 I feel this Diablo more then D3 (completely dogshit game) this is good dunno if I’ll preorder it but enjoying the gameplay actually, only Rogue and Necro feel really hard and strong classes the others are a bit meh but we will see with future balance.
“the stronger you get, the weaker you feel” about that, I think the game expects you to use the mechanics to refine your equipment at some point. For exemple if you have a good armor, you should change the bonus you don’t need at the occultist (if you’re frost mage remove the lightning bonus if there’s one for exemple for something more useful), using sockets, upgrading gear… not sure if this true overall but with my character it felt better when I did some changes like that.
Making a character that looks like you either means you’re a narcissist or completely lacking in imagination…. I’m mostly kidding. Mostly.
I did the barb 1-25 I was cool until I did wizard and Necro. Then you just realize how behind the barb is.
Ehhhhhhh the combat is so boring , use a spell wait for it to refresh a and repeat.
Of course it’s worth playing why wouldn’t it Peon lol
Diablo 3 remastered. No thank you
I’d argue that the UI is actually garbage in this game. Some of the worst I seen come out of Blizz. And no map overlay? WTF?! Though this is just beta 1 to 25, there is a lot of things that concern me when it comes to the endgame. Dungeons, mob affixes, itemization etc.
Did you play the original Diablo? Perhaps you’re too young, It has always been a gory horror game.
You know, I was watchin and suddenly you said you skip cinematics. Wth who does it
Peon not knowing about the butcher is wild lol
Why do you perpetuate stupid shit like “it’s a beta and things are likely to change”??? It releases in 2 months time. They cannot fix this pile of garbage in two months time.
There is a lot of hate from people who literally play POE sadly because ” it is not as complex ” . But , i think this game is amazing for your average player because of things like open world , party gameplay , lore , dynamic events and overall the MMO experience is amazing combined with ARPG with 0 pay 2 win .
My cat always chills on my lap while I’m playing WoW. Cats > Dogs
Will there be a physical version on PC or is it digital only? I miss the classic PC game boxes. Also is blizzard still doing the dick move requiring the BS always online connection to play single player?
There is a mini-map in the top right of the screen. Interact & basic skill are combined by default but can be changed in the options.
You lost all credibility with the Raid sponsor…
Having played the beta now, my question going in was “is it worth playing over Diablo 2?”
And while it’s a decent game, no, it’s not better than resurrected.
Thanks Craig!
Comment
Considering the kind of things he has said here, and in the Lost Ark videos, I really don’t think he has played perhaps any ARPG type games at all before Lost Ark. I mean hold shift, or some other key to stand, and attack has been pretty standard for decades now in ARPGs, with Lost Ark being the odd ball for having the left mouse button being only for movement, yet he’s clearly unaware there would be something like that. He keeps talking crap about such games, like he did for Lost Ark before this, but clearly he just hasn’t played them, he simply assumed he wouldn’t like them.
Very good content
Dude your are such a disingenuous person, peace out
<3
Why are there so many commercials in the video’s itself? Isnt it against youtube code of conduct? I’n paying monthly fee to Youtube to not see crap like this
Imagine paying $70 for this basic ASS ARPG when POE exists for free 🤣
I’ve been a fan of the game since Diablo 1. I’m just hoping that by the release date, everything will be up to par.
It’s just a reskinned D3.
Save your time and money.
1080p on a 4090? Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh
WTF is blizzard thinking bringing a new game of diablo without fucking Paladin, the warrior of light????? game literally unplayable, i didnt even playtest any character
U meet and play with other players everywhere!?? .
Or just in city ?
I didn’t even play the second weekend of beta because the game is cash grab trash can, I just played D2R instead it actually even have better graphics IMO
Druid master race
Bro you gotta play with a controller, that’s why D3 on consoles is flatly the superior experience despite inferior graphics. The twin stick controls just feel so gud!
How is the performance? He may have mentioned it and I may have not noticed. I saw he was at 1080p with a 4090 and didn’t know if this was just because he was streaming and had multiple intensive programs open.
The barb is the most fun for me. Feels more involved and requires lots of tweaking to get it to work. Which i am sure will change on later levels but great up to 25 anyway
That click to live and attack shit is mad annoying
Not sure how Peon who’s been a PC gamer for decades now, and had played every ARPG under the sun like most of us, didn’t know pressing shift keeps you in place to attack – like every ARPG since literally Diablo 1 lol Ah well, sometimes you get a brain fart I suppose, or maybe just never thought of it for some reason. It happens 🙂
Short answer: no.
Playing with a controller helps that move and not click on mobs as you’ll be using the joystick kind of like WASD. People seem to enjoy that (not to mention you get some haptic feedback sometimes).
I guess they should add WASD options, but in any case, you could bind your keyboard to act as a controller and get the same experience if you really wanted to (there’s software that can do this)
With all these “sponsors”, that are actually scams. I now look forward to seeing RAID Shadow Legends.
Does it look good? yes, is it worth 70dolla? HELL NAH
First RPG that is fun to play with controller. Never liked the click to move of arpgs so I was happy to be able to use controller on PC :p Tho the game ain’t worth of the amount blizz is asking. So might buy it after few years when it’s in sale or something like that.
This game gonna be more mmorpg like real mmorpgs (like ffxiv)
Played the Open Beta 2 hours with Druid and Uninstalled. I don’t like the art style, the animations are basic and it feels like the game does not have any soul to it, feels empty to me, no substance. It will be the first Diablo game I won’t get. This is just my opinion, for the people that like it, enjoy and have a great time 🙂
The game looks pretty good so far.
This game is awesome gonna spend a lot of hours into it
Is it worth playing?
Yes!
Is it worth 70$ ?
Hell no
You’re on point about the storytelling, ive never gave a crap about stories but D4 makes me almost ONLY watch the cutscenes cause they’re just that good.
I do not like that in Diablo IV the MMO world is forced on players unlike in Diablo II or Diablo III.
I like to play Diablo games completely solo.
I will not buy Diablo IV because of the forced MMO world.
Clean and polished UI? what?!? it’s a mobile UI all right… oh I see, you’re promoting ‘Raid’ on mobiles… so you’re that kind of ‘gamer’. Nvm.
I havent done the main quest since i got to the main city. I just grind dungeons with the homies
70 dollars, real imagery of Satanic shit… imma have to pass on this one. I want to kill demons, not join demons. The goat of Mendez is a legit symbol of Satanic and occult CRAP. It has no business in a video game, or anywhere for that matter. There was a reason companies largely used fake symbols like Silent Hills cult symbol for example. It’s not grounded in anything real.
I find the map works , just open the map and pin where you want to go. Just follow the trajectory on your mini map and done! They should just give the option for both though.
Dang I’m super disappointed in this game..
doesn’t care about 99% of games stories he plays? I mean 99% of the games you play are mostly MMO’s. lol nobody gives a shit about MMO’s stories. we just want to level to max and farm dungeons, and PVP. Now if you played a single-story game like spiderman and skipped the dialogue you might as well just stop playing games all together.
I’m playing the Open Beta. The story, as with Diablo 3, is so fucking good.
Peon: “If I played Barbarian I’d probably be calling the game dog sh**.”
Meanwhile, Asmongold: “Wow, why did I ever choose Barb?”
Great First Impressions Peon, I think you voiced many of our concerns and even one no one has talked about (the map overlay).
“Raid: R is for regular updates” Insert Tom Cruise laughing meme here
The new Beta is too easy.. the first Beta was way harder and it made it more fun
playing necro now after trying every class to like level 9 and necro feels so much more OP and fluid
not terrible, not amazing, just decent and safe. not enough to pull me in. i think they went a bit TOO far with the ‘we need to get back to the dark gritty visuals’ thing too, it looks a bit too desaturated and lifeless for my liking.
Why was necro not available? I’m in UK and played a necro
great review. Some things to add clarity. The combat is from original diablo. Feels weird when you start but really good once use to it. original diablo I believe you can shift click to use abilities and not run but it turns your attack into a skill shot vs point and click. simply its intentional. The game getting harder as you play is normal in diablo also because you’re going deeper into the darkness. The start is always easy to give you a feel for the game then mobs get more life, resistance, unique defense/offense. This tends to repeat if they do the typical normal/nightmare/hell/+. The game will start off easy again and you will work back through it. What nice is when you go back to say act one after act 2 you can feel how strong you are so you still feel that progression without the game feeling easier and easier. Personally I love the harder and harder style.
the fights are not impressive…
I really hoped you would do a Diablo 4 impressions video! You are always a fresh perspective without tons of hopes or biases for a game, you give a casual gamer observation rather than the pro player who looks for specific mechanics.. awesome video
Game feels very mid. Glad I didn’t pre-order
The intro to the AD. Amazing 😀
Just going to make commentary about commentary, as per usual. Not meant to be insulting, other than to Blizzard’s terrible attempts at creative writing.
3:11 This is a really, really, REALLY bad sign in this, the year of our Lord, 2023, that Blizzard has named one of their RPG classes “Barbarian.” What’s the name for the advanced class? Gypsy? Savage? Heretic? Undesirable? Jock? Meathead? I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of the military role or martial art of “barbarianism,” other than from an imperialistic asshole’s perspective. Really dropped the ball here; they could have just called it “Martial Artist” or the more familiar “Warrior” class. Barbarian. Jesus, that’s so condescending.
3:53 Sure, but this is assuming you’re going to be seeing your character’s alleles from 100ft away at a bird’s eye view. Personally, my vision is so bad that it wouldn’t matter how customizable the character creator is – blobby face is blobby, and I could care less when I’m going to replace it with a giant bone mask that I can more readily recognize as my character’s distinguishing feature. What will be annoying is if the finalized character creator has the typical 20+ shades of light skin vs 3 shades of dark skin; I can’t have all my Barbarians be German!
7:44 Oh, right, the Castlevania shtick. This cutscene looks generic AF, but I do have significant bias against high budget creators that copy + paste motifs like it’s Family Guy. That stained glass looks like crap, too.
7:50 Most games that have generic stories is reason enough to skip cutscenes, but doing “First Plays” and not actively trying to get engaged in their story, whether shit or not, makes you a bad reviewer. Part of the fun in some of the worst games is to make fun of their terrible attempts at poetry, and most of the fun I have with Blizzard games is the division between their writing teams – some stories are goofy parodies, others are serious and original tales, and when combined, you get a story that can’t be taken seriously. Diablo III had a number of goofy interactions between NPC’s; I don’t doubt that Diablo IV will bombard players with gross immersion, but history will repeat itself when Microsoft will exclaim, “This story is too dark to make maximum moneez! I’ma add a cow level to lighten the mood and bring in old-timey fans!”
10:08 This looks less like “super cool” and more like easier gameplay. One of the things that I truly despised about Diablo III was the constant need to tab-target enemies before hitting buttons – it would be so much better if ranged attacks were more action-oriented like Zelda than this isometric WoW template. Plus, if good abilities are ones that hit every enemy on the screen at once…I dunno, yikes. This is still early gameplay, but I’m not seeing much in the range of tactics, other than faceroll melee and kiting.
10:46 Good graphics are nice, but it’s usually a tell-tale sign that levels are going to be repetitive, so you might as well be happy with glowy walls, because those are the best things you’re going to see for the next 300+ hours. Ha, jokes, who knows? Maybe their map generator doesn’t blow chunks this time (If there even is a random map generator? Probably for dungeons, but not open world).
12:05 I have mixed feelings about a game that seems doable with just one “quintessential” ability. Maybe this is a video from a parallel universe of TheLuckyPeon choosing the most OP ability in the game right off the bat and cheesed his way through the game XD
12:52 Ohhhhh shiiiiit, it’s a completionist achievement award. So much for exploration, now that we know it’s mandatory to do everything to get the best endgame stats.
15:29 Sometimes these kinds of stats are fun to play around with, but when high quality weapons and armor drop like dirt over the course of an hour of gameplay, it’s just another time sink to spend on a game that lacks a proper endgame. Not to mention – how many popular, lasting MMO’s have stats this specific in recent versions? Virtually none, so learning how to best deal with the open beta’s stats is almost worthless, knowing that the game will boil all damage for casters to “INT” and all melee damage to “STR.”
15:58 While the foreground graphics look good, I’m paying more attention to the background – instead of generic fantasy poster-like backgrounds with most isometric games (Diablo III), Diablo IV really brings the immersion, in that the backgrounds look like areas you haven’t explored yet.
Gotta admit, Act I looks super big and amazing…but it also looks like an advertising gimmick, or even Blizzard-esque propaganda. I just hope that the game won’t release like the previous titles – super cool first act, generic and boring acts 2-4, big dumb end boss fight, then scream-kiting in nightmare mode, playing other, worse classes, waiting for balance patches, laughing about the real money Auction House, etc.
I’m waiting till full launch, gotta see what the complete package is before deciding whether to purchase. Just don’t trust Blizzard at this point.
how can you not play necro I got to choose necro lancer?
Am I the only one who makes the ultimate waifu in character creator and not yourself? Unless you are the ultimate waifu of course
No full game play or post twitch stream 5hour playing on ur channel?
It’s worth it . End of video
10:24 complaining about a game that is still in beta struggling to load. You are a beta male.
I understand they are different approaches for the same genre but POE 2 looks much better than this
as a diablo fan who played since part 1 I must say that this is exactly like terrible diablo 3, just reskinned and with darker graphics, so disappointed…
I’m new to Diablo and I really like it 🤷🏾♂️ wanted to try it out and end up playing until the sun came up
Tristram theme in the pros and cons screen.
This music still haunts me to this day.
I absolutely loved my experience as a Barbarian 😅. So any improvements are welcomed
You god damn right. That is what people did during war. If the horse died then he gets eaten.
There’s shite on the ground. L. Peon, 2023.
I hope he does go to at least 20 one character. I know he hasn’t paid much attention to the stuff putting out, but you get a few titles, and an item for hitting 20 in the beta. I found maxing chars to 25 really gave me a bit of fair idea of what I want to play at launch, and a decent feel for the classes.
the reson raid shadow is popeler is becaos every body a simp
He has a realistic thought about needing food and he thinks some thing is wrong with himself. We know some one who would survive a zombie apocalypse.
I streamed the first weekend of beta since I pre ordered and maxed our a rogue, amazing mobility. Necromancer for this weekend has been pretty cool seeing the changes made already.
im a fan of diablo like games and this one just didn’t clicked with me – don’t know why. maybe i will try again on the release.
Not enough mobs, too much dialogue, boring 🙁
An advice, when your gonna atack, press Shift after attack it will make you stand still
RTX 4090 and you are chugging as well. My 3070 was having issues as well. Installed on an M.2 drive, and still clanky.
If you want a faceroll class pick up Necro, that shit is easy and fun to plow through Lilith
Can anyone please tell me if i can zoom in/out or is the camera view fixed
I played barbarian. Man it is so weak compared to what I just saw in this video. I will definitely play ranged on launch.
Y’all got mobile phones right? Never forget.
Great video as always. I disagree on the UI tho. It feels cheap and lackluster
That intro cinematic is actually insane. I don’t remember rewatching cinematic trailers like this one since I was younger watching WoW cinematics 👏
you can “force move” that will not attack and also “force attack” that stops you and your clicks attack, i only knew about them from diablo 3 and they are in here too.
On Ps4 area loading is quite an issue as well… XO
You heard of raid shadow legends! Well do you know why millions still do not play the game?
yo Peon, have you ever considered using an intro sequence? like nvm, i watch your vids none the less but they always start so abrupt ^^
If this game wasn’t named Diablo 4, this game is dogshit.
How can you even think of making a deal with RAID, i am very disappointed on this point….
I know they pay insane amounts but honestly …
that ad lol!
Not much of MMO sadly. More like POE
Good UI? good one, solid combat try barbarian, its definitely not that good, maybe on full premier we see.
Awesome vid my dude.
Have to say you are looking great, you sexy beast.
Hugs from a BDO ex gulldy
What I played in the beta was enough to see I’m skipping this one. I’ll play D2 if i get an itch.
I would say it’s a buy if you enjoy open world, ARPFs. The open world really fits Diablo in how they’ve gone about it, and build variety is pretty good, and that’s without access to the level 15 class specialties and paragon board.
Played the game for a couple of hours as Necromancer to lvl 18 and gotta say the games been pretty enjoyable so far, theres way more non quest based exploration than I expected in the game. The one big problem I had is that I kept getting fps drops randomly on pc with the game also getting my ram to 90% usage (16gb rram btw). Had to switch to Ps5 in the end. Also Necromancer made most fights a walk in the park but maybe thats just early game.
i don’t know WHY Blizzard INSISTS so much in doing very little amount of skills..
Then doing that ANNOYING Enhancement system..
I can’t do a nice in depth frost build… because I only have like 5 frost skills and the enhancements are BORING AS HELL.
Can’t do any in depth builds at all…
Game looks rushed… with trash optimization and VERY VERY uninteresting..
I played to lv 20 in 4 characters and found ALL very boring..
It DOESN’T need to be PoE but how can we degrade so much from Diablo 2?
Hahaha. Chemical romance
Bro you look so chad-like with that chiseled jawline I’m proud.
From beta I must say I am more impressed than I suspected. Story, art style and graphics are superb. Game is inbalanced terribly with necromancer even more powerful than sorcerer
ngl i thought it felt horrible on pc. im using a controller and it feels like the controls dont work more than half the time, the menus dont work at all, and every time you attack or try to interact with something it just opens up the useless chat box. played for about 30 minutes and decided im not gonna be getting it at launch. gonna wait for the reviews to come out and make sure they didnt release a broken pos bc ya know…blizzard
Get last epoch instead…fuck this broken game
The ad… jesus fuck, Peon, it’s kinda scary when you use your powers for evil…
it took 20 minutes for me to get bored and uninstall this game 😀
3 words. – Hydras are OP!
It’s pretty buggy for me. A lot of stuttering, minor texture flickering, terrible rubber banding, hard crashes. Running a 4090 / 13900K and 32GB of DDR5 7200
Yeah I made a barbarian first character and it was rough, I feel like I switched up my build 20 times to get to 25 and finish act 1. I’m playing necromancer this time and its like day and night, its so much easier.
Biggest concern is definately the skill tree. Seems even more shallow and basic than D3 was.. Really surprised they didnt lean more into poe or somewhere between poe and D3. So far if ur looking for a new arpg last epoch is better and is also in beta.
I wait in queue , I watch lazy peon , I cancel my preorder .
It’s worth playing but not buying. Level scaling is a joke. That’s why I’m not buying. If I spend hours playing and going through the story and doing sides and leveling I should feel powerful. That should be my reward for time spent.
Cutscenes are great, atmosphere is great, art is great. Gameplay is dogshit
Tried to download beta. 80 gigs for beta. Tried to log in. 41 mins que. Logged off. Uninstalled.
I’ve been having a good time, it looks amazing. Still feels like Diablo. Buggy? A little, but worth a re order.
No.
You made me laugh so hard when you said liver for dinner 😂
yes it is worth playing
I also don’t think isometric games need all that much options when it comes to character customization, seems pointless given your character appears like an ant for most of it. It’s just like how CP2077 customization was pretty much pointless since you never got to see your character.
Why do you always play as dudes?
Hey Peon I gotta say I expect a good channel like yours to not make a full review without talking about how it is most probable that the game will be pay-to-win and littered with microtransactions.
13:28 You just ignored the whole paragon system wtf
craig forgot he was playing a blizz game when he said things from the beta might change for release
Best game I’ve played in a long time 👍
Played Barbarian… I wont go back to that class if not changes/balanced things happens for release..
I will prob go Necromancer if melee overall is not balanced.
You can actually say that attack and Move arent the Same key. and even seperate it
Going to be hard to move to this from Lost Ark. The combat in LA is simply amazing. The visuals and characters movement and visuals are also much better than what I am seeing here. The fact Diablo 4 is going to be expensive on release, as well, deters me from moving out the Ark and into the Diablo world again…especially after the disappointment of D3.
Beta is so booring will wait for release
we all know the paragon system will ruin it. it is blizzard after all.
I was pretty positive on it overall, though my big downsides are the level scaling and the skill tree. Level scaling takes some of the fun out of the power fantasy aspect of it and makes it so you never really feel like you get stronger. The skill tree was just… really boring? Both in looks and in function. I enjoyed the D3 skill system a lot more, where you were unlocking new runes or moves every level, giving you stuff to look forward to and tons of combinations to try out.
Ui on cons really, looks like a mobile game with a £60 pricemark!
Last Epoch is better 😅😊
Why are you complaining over and over about a “map overlay” when there’s an obvious minimap in the top right of the screen? Or, you know, you could look at the map like days of old and remember where you’re goin, or set a waypoint or, you know, just explore? I remember playing KOTOR back in the day and pull up a map every 10 seconds until I remembered the maps. Now I can navigate in the real world by looking at a map one time and know where I’m going.
i got to lvl 15 and dont see the likt playing more. Game is to easy like stupid easy if You dont roll Barbarian. Actualy stupid silly boring easy.
And they should have added another Melee character/tank/Warrior.
Game garbage
I played the beta for 6-7 hours today.. I wont pre order it. I just dont feel the game, it didnt click with me. The Atmosphere and World is lackluster, boring and the exploring gets old really fast and is not interesting. The Dungeon design looks like it was made by Preschool kids. Bettwr items dont feel like they change that much, it doesnet feel i pactufll. I tought D3 was flashy and “easy” to get into but its actually waay way more fun than D4 so far. Il buy the game maybe after few weeks when i see the end game content and if its worth in the long run, they need to drastically change the game, they need a better UI, better items, better side Quests with better rewards, less emptyness in Zones, redo lots of skills, more customization options.. I know its “beta” but lets be honest not much will be changed since this is basically the product we will get and they have not that much time to change soo much.
I have NEVER played Diablo and I’m 39 years old… Going into this later as a complete noobie to Diablo.. So that should be fun.
The Overlay Map was even invented from them in Diablo 1 or 2 (i think). So i was wondering like you
Peon saying he didn’t expect this game to be so dark.. brother, have you played a diablo game before lul
Raid Shadow Legends is here to stay!
I’ll be surprised if the gang of LARPing rich kids that just got back from Hot Topic are able to fight off a demonic invasion in an entertaining way.
me and my friends jumped in game last night, and 7 hours later in the wee hours in the morning we went to sleep. it is fun and we never had a crash or disconnect. fun game at least so far.
Play with a controller IMO. For caster classes anyway, the hold shift to stay still is abit annoying
Yes, yes it is worth playing.
It’s a great game, but a terrible product.
Too broke to buy this, gonna stick with Tetris.
its kinda boring and dull ngl, ive been playing diablo 3 the last month and this feels like a step back tbh, ive been forcing myself to play the beta its just bland
Works great with controllers
A map overlay, balancing and a fix for the rubberbanding lag are the only gripes I have with the game so far and they’re all “fixable”.
The only thing I’m still worried about is if they’re going to pull the rug and release purchasable timeskips or some other sh’t in the future.
I’m fine with cosmetic season passes, I don’t buy those anyways. As long as it stays “cosmetic”.
I actually found the game rather boring, and got a refund on my pre-order. It just felt like another Immortal to me. I did play barbarian in the beta though, and watching this and other videos, that may have been why I did not enjoy it. Still, I will wait for release before spending any money on this one. Maybe even wait for the first sale price on it, just in case.
@TheLazyPeon, the camera is a little bit to zoomed in don’t you think so?
doing advertisement for Raid Shadow Legends… kinda cringe
tbh i tried barbarian and its fine, the cyclone is funny.
I love it other than the fact that I’m stuttering like mad every 20 seconds and rubberbanding all over the place. I gave up on it after level 14 or so.. the performance rly crushed any enjoyment I got from it. I’ve tried everything I can find to fix it, but like many others, no solution is available. Here’s hoping they optimize the ever loving shit out of this before release and I don’t have extremely high memory leaks 🤞
can you play offline
My experience after 2 hours playing.. lag, rollbacks etc.. specially in town, subtitles arent synched, the camera feels a bit too close and the good stuff is that its actually multiplayer and you see people and can play with friends etc… the skill tree is a bit limited because most skills are crappy and you end up using the same skill over and over, difficulty is nice in tier 2, not too hard.. Im looking forward to it actually, not sure if the replayablity will be good but at least for a good run Ill play it. Oh btw no overlay map is annoying and the sounds sometimes come from one side and theres absolutely nothing there..
you said multiple times how awesome the world looks…even stopping and zooming in! Peon you really think a map overlay would help to embrace that ? xD You dont look at the world you look at a map overlay 24/7 …imersion gone
Hey man You look freaking amazing 😍 So hard work realy worth it.
Happy for You 🥰
Let me spell it out for you.
R is for Redicules, because who the fuck cares, when every single Youtuber just says shit about a game, because they get paid
A is for All-time-fucked-up-microtransaction-game
I is for the lack of Intelligence in people who fucking buy into this bullshit
D is for Dumbass Youtubers who sells their soul for money!
Peon at 6:30 : “This is gonna feel cozy.”
30 seconds later : “Oh no. This doesn’t look good.”
I’m enjoying the beta so far. I can’t wait for more!
Idk what ppl are smoking. Barbarian feels strong. Druid however…feels much less so until wayyyyyyyyy later with way more skillpoonts
Diablo was never big on the dodge. It is kill or flee and farm.
Diablo IV, and the genre really, hasn’t had any innovations at all in the last years. It’s like playing the same game from 10 years ago, but now it looks better. This genre has so much potential, Diablo 3 had so much potential, but they are never able to hit it, unfortunately.
We’ve only experienced the beta, so any assessment to its value is still up in the air 😅 Those who don’t pre-order, you get to watch morons like me play and pay for your amusement! 👍 Pour one out for us if it fails to meet expectations!
“When I was” Lmao man. nice Edit.
Anyone play on console? How do I attack with a weapon? I changed A to an ability and now I can only spam that
No, it isn’t worth playing because it’s not worth giving money to Activision Blizzard. They are an absolute shit heel of a company and they can go screw themselves sideways. They will never get a red cent from me again.
Am I enjoying it? Sure..? It’s not blowing my socks off.
Definitely not paying $70, might get it in a year when it’s on sale. The skill system and gear system is nice. But the combat is not quite on par with Lost Ark and that game costs… well, way less than D4.
I played a Barbarian so far to level 14 and it hasn’t been difficult at all and no deaths yet. It hasn’t been miserable.
Still safe guys until release, remember what they do with diablo immortal
Been playing on the PS5 this morning and there sure is a lot of rubber banding and teleporting and LAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGG
This is my first Diablo experience, i am enjoying it so far, prob gonna buy it AFTER it releases, no pre-orders!
Dude hyped raid advertising more than D4
it has memory leak and has crashed on my PC with 32gb ram
facepalm at all
I feel just the people that been waiting for this are going to buy it. I don’t see anyone who is already invested in a game thats going to to shell out a $70 minimum to play this no matter how good it looks or story or anything
Yes, it is …..
Good video dude, nice to see you branch out from just mmo videos
Another con of this I’ve heard is that you need a windows build newer than 1809, and a lot of people run LTSC. Just a really arbitrary thing that makes no sense to me. Game seems really good though so far; better than D3.
😂😂🧙♂️
Absolutely great. It’s a beta … so this should give them time after this weekend for the small hiccups I did notice. It’s a deep , comprehensive system , and it takes time to get the hang of it … making it that much more rewarding. I really really hope the devs don’t nerf it up for the gigachads , frame stutters/I moved in a single direction and was practically launched in the direction I was going. Character creation is a welcome addition , it’s not deep enough , yet I wasn’t dissatisfied totally. The sound , art , oh man the action … is really good. This has the atmosphere of 2 , with the lore of 1 and a revamped 3 combat system I would type. I feel very confident this will be even better come June. Didn’t like the weapons being binded to certain attacks but once you learn to use them correctly … if you’re a barbarian (as I haven’t tried the other classes ) … you get a rhythm going and it’s awesome. If I have more to add I will. Great job Blizzard , you’ve redeemed yourselves !!! 😊
Go play last epoch instead. I’ve started it in between the closed and open beta of diablo 4 and I’m having a blast.
Too few classes
Damnit man I can’t keep watching this. Looks too good. I also don’t want anymore spoilers.
D3 has no map overlay…
Question: are all cutscenes on PC really locked at 30 fps or am I doing sth wrong??
I’m so sick of the state of the gaming industry online.. I’m loving d4 (been a diablo player since 2001, not some random), but I’m so sick of all these “should you play it?” “9+1 ways to farm faster for beta!” “strongest build to make you godly”, etc., etc.,
every new game that comes out there’s probably over 100k videos posted about it on day 1…
The greed among content creators is really becoming evident to me lately.. LazyPeon, I like ya, but you’ve played a few hours of a beta – you cannot answer whether or not someone should buy this game – you can’t even really help them, because you haven’t played the game, homie.
this is a real beta, i.e., an unfinished game where we are able to access a small amount of the full game to test THE SERVERS….. These 2 weekends are not to let us demo the game or anything to do with us players at all – it is a test and one of the final stages of development. Everyone needs to chill out.
No Map overlay and chat on the wrong side are the only things I don’t like lol.
Wolcen style – / Blizzard laggy ultra beta 100 euro re-remix / …D3 better!
Lets drink a shot every time Peon says “in this game”. Joking, nice video!
I started with Barbarian and admittley, it is more of a struggle and to be successful, I had to go down a particular skill path and couldn’t keep my original build. I too also expected to get more powerful as I leveled and was surprised when some boss fights got harder for me as I leveled instead of easier. Using the typical formula, “I can’t beat the boss now, I will level a bit more and come back” and only got my @ss beat even worse. That feeling sucked but I made it through eventually changing up skills.
Its kinda sad they took this long to make Diablo 4 to be this clunky. This game doesnt feel at all like diablo 3. Feel like a diablo 2.5 resurrection. And the dodge movement feels clunky as hell when fighting.
Is this his first time ever playing this genre? His reactions are so pure, like he never played a game like this before kek
For fraphics I had to put everything lowest possible.. and turn on all the performance options. Runs about as smooth as Diablo 3 now on the same PC. Still looks great. For controls I have a side mouse button that I bound to “Hold”, which stops you from moving while clicking your basic skill(LMB). Otherwise I think its shift by default. After those changes I can say my experience is about as smooth as it was playing Diablo 3.. Before those changes my frame rate was probably 10 or below with a lot of frame loss.. cinematics were perfect but the gameplay was a lot of stuttering. I am on a 5 year old PC though.. I recommend people clicking ESC and changing those options in the character select if they suspect they will have graphic issues.
I’ve played barbarian and they start weak and become stronger because they can carry more legendaries than other classes.
lol sure it worth playing, it’s a fucking diablo
btw this was the closed beta, so before the “balance”
your cons dont really seem genuine as your forgetting its a BETA and they warned everyone that its a BETA its not a glorified demo its a BETA thats going to rubber band glitch and have issues and you hold shift to cast spells without moving come on peon….and remember…its a beta seems like you forget that going into this video….a rare dislike for me sorry
It doesn’t look too different from Diablo III.
I’m playing the necromancer, why is it unavaliable for you?
Theres a map in the upper right corner bro
bang average game that is way over priced
The forced MMO-ishness – like seeing other people running around which is “cool” but doesn’t add much to the game, has tremendous downsides in terms of performance. Because everything is “instanced” you will constantly experience lags / rubberbanding / glitching when moving around the overworld between zones as the game has to transfer you between instances. The game looks great, sounds great and plays great if youre alone in a dungeon. But the overworld is just an exercise in frustration.
I think Diablo 4 is typical classic oldschool mmo games
Naw, I am done with Blizzard games.
D3 was extremly bad, this game is going to be half diablo immortal half d3.
re the overlay, you can right-click where you wanna go on the the map and it’ll add pathing to your minimap, which kinda offsets needing an overlay. also, be sure to get to lv20 so you get the sweet wolf pup backpack thingie.
I love the game. Even with the buggy server. Saw the first couple cut scenes, then began cutting narrations short. I want a fairly fresh viewing of the story when playing my main. What I did see/hear, was a return to the darkness and despair of D1 and 2.
15:04 there used to be an option to hold down shift or control to keep yourself from moving when clicking
Honestly, it should still be in closed beta.
It’s time peon gets sponsored by albion again after east server release yea m from future
You clearly didn’t play enough if you’re calling this abortion of a ui “good”
Dislikes from the mindless Blizzard consumers
I’m having a great time as a necro. Although day 1 of this beta was hell. 15 minutes play time 9 hours waiting in queue.
I completely agree with you on everything
It plays like it adheres religiously to a game design document from 1993. Archaic at best.
No.
Unique take, nice to see someone who has completely evaded most of it till now. I would say a lot of stuff could be chalked up to beta issues and the fact that we cannot hit max level. Sure barb doesn’t feel good at the moment but wait till everyone is at max. The fact alone that it has the most equipment slots should at the very least give it an edge over other classes. They really hit a homerun on some aspects where others feel… eh…
Felt very boring to me imo.
Also, UI does NOT look good by any definition bro.
Decent story, cool art but gameplay is boring af…d2r feel so much better
quite indeed about the , i get lv and skills but i feel weaker, i also felt like investing on skills were a punishment, they get little improvement but i should instead get more skills, but i dont have mana to deal with it, the progress from lv 1 to 15, where the cheap respect ends, should be enjoyable, but i did not felt like that, yes i play sorc, and wasnt that easy or fun to me.
Can’t believe it being a massive diablo fan but im honestly on the fence with it. Playing a barbarian was super boring, like up there with some of the worst and it really doesnt feel smooth combat wise. It feels clunky and not something made in 2023. My biggest dissapoitment is how dull the skill tree is. Theres barely any opertunity for experimentation
I’ve played every class so far till around level 10 and most of them have felt fun or strong in some way, even Barbarian.
in the keybinds you can bind a key to only move. mine is ctrl + mouse1
Yeah there is no excuse for a billion dollar company to have such a bare bones character creation, the games balance is all over the place especially for melee incase wanted to try it
Also the level scaling is why you feel weaker as you level because if you don’t constantly get better gear you will fall behind the mobs that will always get stronger it needs changing IMO
I prefer turned-based games.
I’m disappointed you didn’t dedicate a whole video to your kitty.
“ok, lets play with tier 2 difficulty, i don’t want it feel too easy”
review: “this game has poor balance”
wtfffff….
Quit promoting shit mobile gotcha games!
Not touching Diablo 4 they screwed themselves with Immoral!
Played beta very clunky dodge needs to be addressed love the crafting and upgrading Armor GPU Fans don’t half ramp up in cut scenes I did lock max FPS at 60 in manage 3D settings played Necro pets block the boss😂
I wasn’t a fan of Diablo 3, actually i never liked it but i’m addicted to the atmosphere of this one, the story and voice acting are some of the best blizzard ever made in my opinion. Now i only have to decide whether buying it on PC or PS5 since i’m playing the beta on both and they’re about the same, a controller feels miles better than mouse and keyboard though.
Peon youve lost weight looking good
Do You Not Have Phones?!?!?!
could you do Digimon Masters Online for “Is It Worth Playing?”
You need to go back and play a melee class
The genuine excitement really added to it, makes me want to play the game. as a side note, wowie wow wow, been following you since like 80k. you went from a chubby child to a chipper chad my dude. That move and change of pace did wonders for you.
play’s beta, complains about beta activity. Ya wash.
“They’d all fit in as a member of my chemical romance” bro I’m crying 😂😂
i dont like, its too cartoonish, Diablo 2 ressurected has better art design than this, playing D4 at beta , at least for me, its like playing another D3 expansion….so D4 its not for me…lets wait for POE 2
Diablo 4 looks gory, dark and fricking interesting. This game is, hopefully, going to be huge. I liked playing it this weekend. Really nice!
If someone told me this game came out 10 years ago I wouldn’t be surprised
I have a 24 Werewolf druid..
idk.. to me currently the game feels slow because resource generation is shite..
but something about the build for this werewolf.. I feel pigeon-holed into going poison, and then if someone is poisoned, boom crit dmg
because that is basically the only talents..
I feel like talents need to be more.. open. they don’t feel good to me
My only concern are the microtransactions, these we wont see until full release
Is it worth a buy?
Diablo should be a movie crazy ass story in diablo
there’s an option in the settings to unlink attack/move/interact, but it does mean u will need 3 separate keybinds
its not worthy of 70€ fuck no… the game is behind lost ark by a million points
I bang on demons. I happy.
Mate, everyone knows Les Stroud is the superior survivalist 👍
I never want a character that looks like me lol. I’m looking to escape.
Stopped watching as soon as i saw Raid p2w Legends
TheJackedPeon
The “My Chemical Romance joke” was a nice touch
Lilith makes you watch cutscenes
the things with the world rn is that there is so many people playing and blizzards server suck. a lot of people have those problem or dc problem. it sucks for a beta to play 10 min for 2 hours queue
i aint buy $70 game i will wait for discount
after 8 hours game is fucking boringggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
That ad tho. lol
7:50 I was the same. Don’t rly care about the cut scenes but this game somehow made me watch it all 😀
Pro:
Looks/sounds good
Good story telling
Con:
Dogshit controlls for PC (no LMB force move/interact)
UI looks mobile game-esque, especiall the inventory and item labels are bad
Shallow itemazation so far
I’d give it an 4/10 for now, the endgame has to be insanely good to make up for the otherwise mediocre game, though keep in mind I’m used to PoE which very much is the gold standard for a good ARPG. But judging from the low level beta I would rather play Last Epoch than D4 and won’t be pre ordering it.
Is it worth playing?
If you liked Diablo 3, then probably yes.
If you hated Diablo 3, most likely not. It’s an enhanced version of D3 engine reusing older assets with just higher fidelity.
Diablo for me is a game I just don’t get. Everyone was crazy about diablo 3 back in the day and I was the only one who didn’t see it.
Eh, feels the same as the first 3 games.
Make it first person and set in a modern-ish city with vehicles you can steal. Maybe add some computer-y nerd technology and have the character be rude to people.
Could call it, “Mean Computer Nerds 2035.”
Sweet Jesus please make this good haha. It’s everything I want a game to look like.
Was pretty run of the mill. Won’t be playing.
I tried multiple times to queue into the beta, got error codes after 60+min waiting permanently. Besides watching streams, I can tell that this game will probably fall off pretty quickly after launching.. I played tons of hours of D3 back in the days and maybe this game will deliver a similar enjoyement after launch, but I highly doubt it..
“My first legendary”
Welcome to Diablo in the year 2023. Game just feels extremely casual and consoleified.
Say what you want about D3 but at least that game tried some to do some cool things at launch. The whole skill system. The dumb difficulty levels. The real money trading. This on the other hand seem to be extremely cookie cutter on all fronts.
if a game is realy good that game is its own commercial. Raid obviously isn’t, thus the need to spam us incisively 💩
Is it a Blizzard game then of course it’s not worth playing
what’s wrong with you
you have a whole fucking horse and the first thing you want to eat is liver
Mobile game UI
i am going to save the d for later, but nice introduction of rsl
Blizzard, so no from me
You’re waaaaaay to trusting of those villagers. I thought they were going to Drug me and take my armor and clothes but I didn’t see the sacrifice thing coming at all. 😂😂😂😂
It looks like Diablo 3 and Lost Ark had a bastard lovechild.
f2p yes. $70, no
I would argue that the reason there is no map overlay is because you would not have had that same experience of paying attention to the amazing detail if your view was blocked with a mechanic that only shows you how to get from A to B. Maybe they should add that as an “unlock” once you’ve finished the game.
Yep, Path of Exile is still better and not woke
Im always sceptical when someone talks about a game (which should tell me if its good or not) and the person has at the beginning of the video a raid shadow legends commercial and even tells me how grand it is…..
not gonna finish this. I want to play the game first. thanks for all you do
Why it’s a small pillow with russian flag on the background?🤨
Please tell me that is just some coincidence
Just a cash grab
If you hold down shift when you left click, your char will attack in that direction rather than moving. Very useful to stop moving into enemies as a ranged 🙂
I don’t like the Lite-MMO elements but hopefully your MC in Diablo 3 gets a mentioned
I didn’t know they added a Sumo Class – ‘Druid’.
It’s a console game ported to PC designed with a controller in mind. proof? Trash UI designed to be used with a controller with massive UI features, that dumb radial wheel, cookie-cuter builds in the skill twig and the game director said in a live stream he only plays with a controller exclusively. They cast such a massive net trying to accommodate everyone possible while pleasing very little and that’s sad. It’ll probably still be popular though because it has the name Diablo attached to it.
You have an easy console UI for casuals with the skill twig because Blizzard thinks their brain will explode if they give them too many options, you have the paragon board for more hardcore/experienced players (although looking at leaked footage, that looks just as boring) and a PvP zone which is opt-in only inside a PvP zone(I guess devs don’t want casuals being upset because they died inside a PvP zone).
It’s crazy because for such a good looking game and an engaging story, they really dropped the ball with pretty much everything else and casting a large net means you sacrifice quality to accommodate the masses and make it inclusive to everyone which they’ve clearly done with the systems. I’m hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst.
Class balance means nothing at lvl25 with lowest or second lowest difficulty. Impossible to figure out what class shines at lvl75 with right gear compared to other classes with as good gear. Level 25 is just a stepping stone where you stay just a moment. Also drop rates on items are boosted for this open beta and of course people aren’t normally staying at lvl25 getting best gear for that level.
This game is already a failure
Point to move is a terrible option
Invisible mouse pointer ITs white so is everything else. It is difficult to see.
The open world MMO. Is trash Lag rubber banding .
Limited enemy types.
Sound design is pretty freaking good.
Color palette is muted and dry
If this was a stock i would treat it like amc
Dont hold it . But take your profits
I gone play this game til my mouse breaks, thn buy a new mouse and play some more😊
I rarely leave a comment, but I really enjoyed how excited you were. Made me really happy. <3
I had no issues with Barbarian I did a thorns build. I have hit 25 on each class so far.
You didn’t expect Blizzard to make a game this dark at this time? Have you never played a Diablo game before?
I really enjoyed the beta; gameplay, visuals, and atmosphere is great!
Actually had to stop myself from playing too much of the beta, want to wait for full release
You feel weaker each level you gain because you ARE getting weaker, apparently they have a scaling system instead of having levels on mobs, so every single mob in the game will be scaled to your CURRENT level, read a few comments from those in beta saying that you gain about 10% dmg each level, but each level the monsters gets more than 10% HP, so…..a common complaint atm is that it doesn’t feel fun because you are actually getting weaker every level you gain.
Also, every single tile used i recognize from D3, pretty much reskinned D3 assets, nothing wrong with that, just feels a bit lazy to not make new tilesets.
nope
use newpipe these ads are cancer
I stay. I watch. I don’t preorder.
Gotta disagree about the voice acting here. The little story we have is promising and is presented in a cool way, but I find the writing and VA to be extremely weak by today’s standards. Very bland dialogues, which aren’t helped by the fake accents and the limited amount of actors, who seem to always overact in every single line even though their characters have the most vanilla personalities imaginable. A few of the deliveries are great, but all of it really end up feeling like generic, artificial cookie-cutter narration to me. The opening cinematic was absolutely incredible tho. Would love for every aspect of the game to be on par with that.
Ya I could see from a glance it wasn’t for me.
people are a bunch of cry babies its insane! this is a beta and from what ive seen theres so much to do… its not perfect, but i cant believe that people are saying this is trash. If you find this game trash i just think that this genre is not for you, not that diablo is trash
when you dont feel powerfull after leveling up you do stmh wrong. I Had power ups every lvl + with item set combos. Mage are a powerhouse
It’s just Diablo 3.5… having played to 25 on the beta it’s aggressively mediocre. Such a shame.
not worth it they never will get how they shit on there players think that is ok.
Worth noting that the intro cutscene is a reused reveal trailer, still cool but it made me kinda laugh. Like i get it its a cool cutscene but you made it like 3 years ago 😂
Hold down Shift when left clicking with the mouse will freeze your character in spot allowing you to attack.
I played trough Act 1 earlier and wow, this was disappointing. I was bored to death the last hour of of the campaign. I’m glad others are having fun.
I’ve been playing on the controller because the movement/attack key binds to the left mouse button. The game runs well on the controller for pc. At least the xbox controller does.
Dude wtf… Sponsor ad ends and 2 more ads pop up instantly, both about 15 seconds and unskipable, 5 mins of video and another 2 ads… This is getting to a point where it’s not worth watching.
The beta has been unplayable for me, constant crashes and memory leaks. The game itself is good and reminds me a lot of D2, but the technical problems are unexcusable if it’s gonna release in 3 months, i don’t think they’ll have time to fix the issues that appear in the beta.
Its an open beta. if people cant make their own decisions by actually playing the game themselves then they should not be gamers.
Boring and clunky… Just couldn’t get in to it.
It is worth playing, but not for 70+ usd for sure. Not until we see released state of things. Currently it feels like 10 bucks one-timer game (played both betas)
I think the game is looking really pretty, but still to expensive for what it deliver
Game is incredibly average in comparison to other ARPGs. Like 6/10 at best. Dungeons are a huge problem. The general leveling gameplay loop is repetitive as fuck. Not even to endgame and already feeling the “fuck I don’t really want to do another dungeon”. Absolutely not worth $70-$100 as it currently is especially when most other ARPGs are $30 or free.
One con you forgot is that you being forced to play with other players!
For me personally it was very disruptive (as I like to gather a lot of monsters and then kill them all at once) and ruined my game
I stopped playing because of this reason!
I thought it was cool to see other players in cities, but not out in the world forced…
Basically nothing you said about RAID is true, I play it for 2 years and nothing you said is true. It’s a false ad
Why is there no wasd movement?
this is just the beta though right? theres still time to fix things
At least not in Beta. Download takes 6h, logging in que 3h. Got in to make charracter, played 10min, kicked out… no no and no.
I don’t felle anything playing the game 🙁 it’s just beautiful…
i dislike balance is good to play unblance and feel good
i feel like not a single youtuber actually palys RAID like they claim they do. tbh i’ve never seen anyone play this game unironically
Looks like a downgrade from PoE…
I hope they update and make it a bit more in depth, but pretty crisp gameplay. Keen to try the necro!
Can you actually play the story with a group of friends?
you hold shift so you don`t move while pressing left click.
“Is It Worth Playing?” No.
Very worth playing just dont play barbarian until release because that class is so bad rn.
Hope this is gudd.
I am still in queue
P2W as diablo immortal?
Act 1 made a very weak first impression on me apart from the cutscenes. Will have to wait for the full game to be reviewed cuz most ARPGs are weak initially and this one is no different.
not first
Ayoooo
Very cool Peon, great first impressions video as usual
Peon you are my dad

Lets goooo!!!@
