    I like Diablo and unlike the old heads who don’t actually play the game, I think 3 was peak.

    Sure, it wasn’t super difficult dark fantasy dungeon crawling like D2 but shit was fun, well designed and had good variety. It’s a good power fantasy of you being overpowered and killing hundreds of mobs and still getting nice power spikes in the form of rare items that actually make a difference unlike in 4.

    As someone who was an extreme diehard fan of diablo lore (hell, look at my username), I’ll never forgive blizzard for tearing it to shreds since Diablo 3. The real game ended at 2 (and the books written after, but before 3) when it comes to lore and story.

    As a single player user I liked Diablo 4, good story with excellent cinematic and well made all around. So I’m quite excited to the new chapter

    I want more information. Are we returning to a dungeon crawler with actual difficulty or are we following the D3 and onward beatem up cakewalk system?

      the most recent expansion was a few months ago, so its just this year lol, and surprise it was kinda of disappointing. the big bad was supposed to be LILITH? but it ended up being mephisto, but even in the last expansion it dint seem that good, as far as story wise went. im guessing 5 will be BAAL again.

      Diablo 4 will be six years old by the time this comes out (not including eventual delays), which seems like a decent time between major releases, and three years after the current expansion, which concluded the Mephisto story.

      For real. Diablo was the last blizzard IP I cared about and I’m so thoroughly unhyped about this announcement. The game is 3 years old!

      This used to be pretty standard! If it weren’t for all of Blizzard’s other nonsense, I might applaud this.
