I remember how excited I was in D1 and D2, and even D3 at times, this game I feel like I’m doing a chore, just checking off boxes.
The difficulty is not fun, just higher numbers. So either you play on Autopilot easy or the numbers are just too high so get better gear. There is no gameplay challenge and getting gear just gets boring too fast.
Maybe it was never fun in the first place and I just got older or is this game just plain bad
I can still play D1, D2, Grim Dawn and many other aRPGs and they are fun to play. This one was just designed poorly.
d4 gets worse with every patch too
every dungeon now has multiple objectives and will also require backtracking every time
I think many people are underestimating how much damage the over-zoomed camera is doing to the overall gameplay experience in D4. It takes nearly all the pre-combat strategy out of the game. By the time you can see a mob, the engagement has already started. When you’re exploring a dungeon, you’re effectively just wandering around blind waiting to run in to a pack of enemies.
Playing a ranged character is basically pointless with the camera this way, not that there are any viable ranged builds anyway.
Long term, if they don’t figure out a way to fix the camera, I don’t think anything else they do is going to matter. Fixed view isometric games just don’t work well zoomed in this tight.
