Thoughts on Diablo IV?

[Guanzo]

I bought RTX 4080 they give Diablo 4 for gift.

 

Is this game good? I never played before Diablo games.

Its actually very good!  Its a nice ARPG and the diablo fanbase is huge.  I only played Diablo 3 and a little Diablo 2 ressurected, and I pre-ordered Diablo 4 and I am having a great time.  Visually the game is absolutely stunning, I run at 1440p ultra 144fps with my 4080.  I love these games where you progressively get better gear and points to spend in talents etc, there are a lot of different mechanics and endgame, easy to sink thousands of hours into.  I would absolutely recommend it.
You can also play it very casually and still have a ton of fun.

I'm having a blast so far (level 20, not far into it). Visually at 4K OLED with a 4090 its absolutely beautiful, stays locked (or nearly locked) to my 120fps cap at all times with ultra quality and no DLSS/FG.

level 71 here  4K 240Hz, I haven't seen any visual degradation from DLSS quality preset but it doubles the framerate. Mine sits on full ultra 4K quality DLSS at 240 fps.

Great game. One of few AAA game that doesn't suck this year.

I was in the same boat. Purchased a 4090 that came with a free game code. I never thought I'd like a game like Diablo but it's been a ton of fun so far.

I pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition on PS5 and I'm loving the game so far. I really liked playing as a Necromancer in Diablo III so that's what I chose for Diablo IV as well, it's just so satisfying to decimate your enemies with an army of minions and blowing up corpses with Corpse Explosion .

i do get the appeal... but thats exactly what i don't like about certain games (and i often play them without upgrading much at all, which naturally kinda sucks but i simply prefer skill based games over collecting "orbs" and eventually being completely OP because you can just grind your way to victory) 

 

There's some games that do it right, most just become very tedious and repetitive fast...

 

 

ps: that's also why im super happy they scraped the "pve" from OW... i just know i would hate it, the game is already quite the mess with the different ults (which sometimes really seems odd how fast they charge for some people)  also these upgrade shenanigans open up a whole new plethora of cheat possibilities (because its harder to detect with varying / upgradable abilities) 

 

 

So, nah, i get it, not my thing though.

Its a great game you should try it if you got it free. The story is great and satisfying. The lighting/sound/music is 10/10. If you like arpgs then you should check it out.  Its arguably the best in the franchise.  The fact its a "live" game and getting constant changes/upgrades is a first for the series and the devs are definitely "all in" for it.  Builds and classes are varied and each one plays different in how it feels. Its a great mix of some diablo 3 and diablo 2.

 

You have nothing to lose for a freebie. Try it out.  Don`t get all caught up in people review bombing it.

Is that happening? I'm seeing nothing but praise pretty much universally. Super refreshing to see with a AAA release recently.
