The sad part is that Blizzard is a company and they make things ina way that make them lose less time or save more time and get more money. What I mean? Diablo 4 is CLEARLY a d3 remake Control C control V situation. They instead of thinking and creating new things, they take the easy path that is just CTRL C CTRL V. So many years waiting for this game. The game looks amazing, sounds amazing, the game feels nice. BUT feels the same as playing D3 with some new content and better audio and graphics.
1 - Skill tree, basically the same as D3 but instead of the option to choose 5 runes to enhance your skill now you can choose 3 and it is in a tree format.
2 - Now instead of BLOOD is called OBOL. Same mechanic.
4 - every NPC in the city, they do the same as in d3 they have the same menu, with the same options but with just an update tab with something new.
5 - the feeling of killing monsters, even the monsters spells like the pink ball that has a bean and deals damage from special mobs, they have it here, just changed the graphics. Also other boss mechanics are the same, most of the monsters are the same.
The caches we had to farm in D3 now its the same but u deliver it to a tree and get a cache.
etcâŚetcâŚetcâŚ
Basically when they presented the game, they sounded like they created a lot of new things but 70% of the game is the same.
Its really sad, because instead of playing a game that I feel like a new game, just feel like Diablo 3 with A BIT more content, better graphics and audio.
The time I spent on D3 was not comparible to D2 but I can sincerely tell you I do not miss grinding rifts to fuel greater rifts to grind rifts to fuel greater rifts to run nightmares to run rifts to fuel greater rifts.
Let me see⌠Doing GRâs 24/7 until my eyes pop out VS having NM dungeons + hell tides + world bosses + random stuff (including pvp, not my cup of tea tho)âŚ
Yep youâre right, D3 endgame is WAY better
/s
Edit: And only 10+ years from now to add stuff with expansions and so on!
Edit 2: Cant wait until seasons start, kill some trash mobs, get 2 parts of my set, do some random crap, get another 2 parts, some more crap, finish my set and get bored in 3 days because nothing to do
Yes â D4 is very similar to D3 in function and form. But donât be surprised if you see lots of people coming into this topic talking about how they hated rifts, or technical terms/jargon are different from D3. Even though many of the systems are side grades to what we saw in D3, and follow very similar rules in how player power is developed.
A lot of the core ideas from D3 were put into D4. If youâre not completely brain dead and overly focused on technicalities, you can see it all over the place as you play the game.
Diablo 4 is built on the Diablo 3 engine from 2008.
Diablo 4 is pretty much Diablo 3 with some open world mmo-lite activities.
The itemization and most systems are basically diablo 3 2.0 with a slight variation.
Its actually extremely disappointing, Iâm about lvl80 and tbh im quite let down. Diablo 3 at least they tried something completely new from Diablo 2 to advance the genre/series. Even tho D3 was an absolute failure as a game, D4 in comparison feel like a cash grab repackaging of Diablo 3 in order to save money and time for a quick initial sales profit boost.
Sure i still had many hours of fun recently but when i take a step back and look at the overall picture its not looking good.
What would be the problem with using that engine? Would you rather them take more years to develop and learn a new custom engine just for the sake of it being ânewâ?
Tell me the game isnât beautiful. What more would you like to see? ffs lol
How is this Diablo 3 remake if it has new story, different graphic style, classes, endgame etc. Meanwhile new Fifa releases each year. Go complain out there. I donât know what new gameplay you expect. Want it to be turn based or racing game or what?
I believe the opinion that D4 is a D3 remake is probably one of the worst opinions. I just dont see, in any function or graphical way, how this correlation can be made.
Funny how differently people view things. As Iâve played through the campaign and in to endgame, I keep coming back to how many lessons from D3 seem to have been lost.
D3 gets dumped on by this community constantly, but the truth is it ended up as a really great ARPG. While I enjoy D4 and am excited for what its future holds, I think as things sit today D4 has a long way to go before its at the same level as D3.
