I loved Diablo 2, I still played Diablo 3 the day Diablo 4 came out. Thanks for killing Diablo 3 by the way by crushing the player base, I have nothing to go back to now… That said, I’m stuck with 4 (or 2 I guess). I’m going to post several topics in here to separate my main ideas. Please community, let Blizzard know how you feel here. However, be aware, they will likely never see these posts, because they are above us and we don’t know what we want.
Now for the story.
I have been playing Diablo for a long long time. I love the storyline so much, the books are fun, and this one had so much potential. The cinematics out the gate were basically putting me in movie mode, pure awesome!
I got excited at first, because I went to name my character after sin war characters and was blocked from doing so. Mendeln, Uldyssian, Lucion… all blocked. Hell Yes! They gonna do some SIN WAR in here! And … Then I played the story line… It was good, yes, but why not mention any of the lore!!! The Sin War was the this game, this is the sequel to it! We are just ignoring the lore, got it. lame.
The whole part of going to hell was amazing! The cut scenes are unreal, the artwork within these demon filled locations was top notch.
But, then it ended. You can’t go back to hell, I know there wasn’t much there, but, you can’t go back. It is like it never happened. Just like the bosses in the story line you never see again. Y’all remember that giant dog boss?? those were good times…
How about the cliffhanger. WOW, whose decision was it to not end the game? There is no finally beat the game satisfaction. You play for days trying to complete the entire game, just for a … to be continued … feel. It was awful! BUT HEY - The guys at Blizz will want more money for the expansion, so it has to be good right!!! RIGHT!!!
OMG, the story line for the expansion… Did the guy quit on y’all halfway through writing it, and you guys just went with it? IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS! I HAVE YET TO BEAT THIS GAME! The ending of the expansion was the biggest let down I think I have ever been through. Let me explain it to everyone in case they missed it. Kill the boss, boss is on deathbed, boss gets napped up and expected to heal later. You travel to this location, talk talk talk, travel to that location, talk talk talk, travel AGAIN, talk talk talk. Get box, good job, game over, you win. Screw you guys. I hate all of that.
Seasonal Story Lines… They suck, super small, stop wasting my time, just give me season perks to level and lets move on.
