Thanks, me too! Haven't really given D4 a thorough go, but I assume it's fun too. D2 is where it's at, though. Superb soundtrack, super nostalgic sound design and overall look. Just awesome.
What are your thoughts on D4?
The quick version of that is I’m enjoying it, but it’s no Diablo 2.
To me, after about 30 hours of play… I don’t like how everything scales with you and I’m not crazy about the way stats and mechanics are set up, but other than that it’s enjoyable.
Agree with all points. Not super stoked about everything scaling with you either.
On the one hand, it's cool because you're never too strong/too weak. On the other hand, you're never too strong/too weak.
Right. One of the best things about Diablo 1 and 2 to me were being able to grind a bit, and noticing how much stronger you were after you leveled a few times. I remember my first play through in Diablo 1 I got my ass beat in Act 4… so I went back and reran Act 3 portions and leveled a few times which helped a lot.
Your character never feels stronger, and you don’t really get rewarded much for leveling in D4… because you make everything else stronger too when you level. So that’s a big bummer for me, even though I was excited about at first
I was watching a MrLlama video about how he feels about D4 and its level progression. It hurt so much when he said your character is at their strongest when the bears that you encounter in the first area can be one-shot at lvl 3-4ish but never again throughout the rest of the game(play).
Yep, exactly. And to me that’s very broken. A good game but with major flaws imo
