Diablo 4 doesn’t really feel like Diablo even though the art direction is part more in line. I’d really like to see classic aspects like having
the same isometric view as an option
The iconic Tetris inventory with ###auto sort###, the big item art lends to the RPG fantasy
I’m much more excited about Diablo 2 Resurrected… but if things were brought a little bit more in line I could get excited about Diablo 4. There’s a reason why the Diablo 2 resurrected team didn’t replace the chipped skull sounds… don’t replace the Tetris. Improve on its flaws.
I would say the amount of discussion on this very subject says there is plenty of contention about it. Good is debatable. Tradition is the most likely reason.
there have been other things done in the past, not being repeated
like that whacky staminar bar
if things dont work they arent being used
i never see anyone complaining about inventory tetris in games like poe or last epoch
its a natural part of an arpg because it makes the game look better at almost no cost because you can usually just have a freaking sort button while making item size make sense and not look like a mobile game
I do understand people missing the old system. But you gotta remember, it is a new game in the franchise, which should mean having new looks / systems as well. Bringing back old stuff does not necessary mean it is good
