diablo 3 was far too easy. When players die the dungeon mobs on the specific level the player died in should respawn with full health. It makes sense if the player respawns with full health so should the dungeon mobs that they killed. This raises the risk factor adding to the excitement. It gives the players incentive to play smarter and more tactically. Now I am not saying the entire dungeon should respawn with full health only that specific level. Because some dungeons can be really massive.
Also the bosses need to be harder and require thinking and reflexes to defeat. Yea gear is important but the diablo 4 needs to be more skill based to make it more interesting.
diablo 3 difficulty was too easy and made the gameplay boring at times where the player mindlessly massacred mobs left and right, clearing dungeon rooms and levels without any real effort.
easy/simple and boring = appeal to casuals, thats why d3 was a massive flop to the vast majority, except for the super minority of blindly defending fanboys here hailing d3 as the greatest diablo aRPG defining success
I agree that Diablo 3 was a cake walk and had very little depth. You can make a build and spam the same 3 keys over and over and never change play style. Slow gameplay down and create more variety and powerful of creature attacks. The overall avatar development should be fixed first however to make permanent choices. This will lead to areas of the game being more difficult than others depending on how you build. The gear can assist with player adaptation to the environment. On the first point of re spawns, Sure they could spend some time on this, but Hardcore really addresses this issue if you are looking for a challenge. (I understand though that permadeath is a steep penalty )
I hope it falls somewhere between PoE and D3. Closer to PoE of course… but I’m not expecting it to have the same amount of depth or customization. And thats okay.
If its more casual than D3, I can’t see any reason for me to play it, if I’m honest.
Diablo has always been an easy series. That’s part of the appeal of it is that it’s a game that anybody can pick up and have fun with.
What’s important is that they offer more depth to the game mechanics for those who want to dig into it. That’s the failing that Diablo 3 has is that it’s missing this.
Enraged Timer. Elite recovered to max HP after a few seconds without getting hit. Invulnerable Minions affix. Most of the D3 monsters from Inferno one-shot you from off-screen.
i’ve the luck that mobblasting with sound and vision is the main endless feature of fun to me, embedded in Lore and Immersion.
-difficulty and complexity doesn’t mean much to me.
Yeah sure. Lets actually look at how those scores were achieved:
Diablo:
Positive: 877
Mixed: 96
Negative: 49
Diablo 2:
Positive: 1,111
Mixed: 107
Negative: 52
Diablo 3:
Positive: 2,698
Mixed: 1,384
Negative: 5,509
The average review value tells a completely different story when compared to the actual votes. D3 despite it’s low score still has more than double the positive reviews of D2 or D1. And that’s the thing with trying to use metacritic values of old games to try and prove something, most of the reviews are from people that liked the game when they were released and competition in the genre was far different. There’s simply no guarantee that a D2 with modern UI and graphics would do as well as it did back then.
And just for a comparison. Diablo 3 actually has a 4,5 in 5 star rating on the Playstation Network in 3k reviews. So no, the game is not universally hated.
what? what a weird way to justify terrible reviews lmao
these are PLAYER reviews. they’re fair. just because one game has MORE reviews than the others doesn’t mean it’s less fair haha. we’re talking about averages. the ratios speak for themselves. nice try, though
Are they really fair though? Most of the negative reviews for D3 are from diehard D2 fans that wanted D3 to be D2 with better graphics.
The fact is that D3 has more than double the positive reviews of either D1 or D2, and that doesn’t even account for the positive reviews on PSN that would make it have 4 times more positive reviews.
