PC Gamer gave a scathing review based on the server slam and previous beta

Basically said balance was a huge mess but at the end of the day Ashava showed a fundamental design flaw.
Build tanky, still die in 1 hit.
Dps, attacks feel like they do nothing.
Support, non-existent.
And boss has no interaction with anything you do.
Author verdict, not fun to play.

Can’t post liks so search class-balance-is-still-an-absolute-joke-in-diablo-4but-the-game-has-far-bigger-problems
On pc gamer to find the article.

I can form my own opinion based on my experience; I do not need others to tell me what to think.

That is good to hear.

“For a Barbarian, the game is boring because it’s a long, slow slog of whacking at spongy healthbars.”

i didn’t have this experience at all

I too can form my own opinion of a BETA.
I too can also not realize that Levels 1-20 are gimped, and not in just Diablo 4.
I too can also also realize you don’t build real power until mid to late game.

PC Gamer is full of would-be journalists looking for anything to increase traffic to their website.

PC Gamer also said FROSK was a great G4 TV host.

This article is the saddest piece of authorship I’ve ever seen in my life. It reads like a 12-year-old entitled brat.

OP does not know how to create a link.

Next your gonna tell me what random streamer X said about it… No one here cares mate. Wait until we are all max level and doing the loot grind, then… and MAYBE then we might care.

and OP referenced them, talking about no self respect

I can’t take a gaming publication review seriously when they haven’t even played half of the game. They played a beta restricted to level 20 that was capped to merely one zone…

Edit: This just goes to show how biased and not-objective so-called gaming reviewers can be. Any game reviewer with professionalism would’ve held onto their tongue for a few weeks until they had access to the full game so they could at least pretend to be objective about it.

Honestly I could be a better game journalist over these dudes. Honestly every one of us here probably could. Well mostly

There is only one attack that can 1 hit you and it’s the most avoidable one. The other stuff you could heal through if you make a mistake.

Also why get hit. there is nothing wrong with the boss

What I find most amusing is folks up in arms over content that’s not even available yet.
