Diablo 4 is the better RPG prove me wrong

[X Lord X]

Diablo 4 is superior to this game I feel. You get to slay hundreds of demons and the combat is not as slow and dated as this game. When watching videos, i nearly fall asleep. A battle takes about an hour. How is that fun? Can someone explain?

Thanks

It is an arpg, like it or not.

They call it an arpg because it's the more professional way to present it. But hack and slash is more accurate. But whatever, I'm not going to waste a lot of time worrying about a game I have no interest in playing, and have never had an interest in playing.

It's fiunny how you say you never played it but at the same time you say "it's a chore not a game". Maybe stop repeating whatever you hear/read in the internet and check it for yourself before forming an opinion? That would be a bit more mature.

There's this thing called Youtube. But I've been a gamer since the first one so I'm aware of how it plays.

Everything you can do in diablo 4 you can do in BG 3
Everything you can do in BG 3 you can't do in diablo 4
BG 3 > diablo 4

Can you buy cosmetics in BG3 with real money? That's what I thought.

How is that fun? It all comes down to your style. If you prefer hack-and-slash then Diablo is more fun. If you prefer tactical approaches, then you will like Baldurs Gate.

How would that give you any sense of accomplishment, when you don't use your hard earned money for any of them and they are just handed to your for free? Might as well go to the soup kitchen afterwards.

This is like comparing golf to football. One is fast and time-based, the other slow and steady. Both are enjoyable, but completely different types of sport and experiences.

Ah, a spirited debate comparing two iconic RPGs! Let's explore the strengths of both Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3:

Diablo 4:

Fast-Paced Action: Diablo 4 is known for its fast and intense combat. Players get to engage in swift battles with hordes of demons, unleashing powerful abilities and satisfyingly defeating foes in rapid succession.

Accessibility: The hack-and-slash gameplay of Diablo 4 is relatively easy to pick up and play, making it appealing to a broad audience. It allows players to jump into the action quickly without needing to navigate complex mechanics.

Replayability: The randomized loot system and procedurally generated dungeons in Diablo 4 offer high replayability. Players can keep exploring new areas, discovering different items, and building diverse character builds to keep the experience fresh.

Baldur's Gate 3:

Deep Story and Roleplaying: Baldur's Gate 3 is rooted in the rich Dungeons & Dragons lore, offering an immersive and engaging narrative. The game allows for intricate character customization and roleplaying, giving players more agency in shaping their character's identity and choices.

Tactical Combat: While Baldur's Gate 3's combat may seem slow to some, it is designed to be more tactical and strategic. Players need to think critically about positioning, abilities, and interactions with the environment, leading to more thought-provoking battles.

Exploration and World-Building: The vast open-world of Baldur's Gate 3 encourages exploration, discovery, and interaction with various characters and factions. This depth of world-building contributes to a sense of immersion and grand adventure.

In the end, whether Diablo 4 or Baldur's Gate 3 is "better" comes down to personal preferences and gaming tastes. Some players might prefer the fast-paced action and accessibility of Diablo 4, while others might enjoy the deep storytelling and strategic gameplay of Baldur's Gate 3.

As for the battle duration, it can indeed vary between the games. While some players find longer battles in Baldur's Gate 3 rewarding and challenging, others might prefer quicker combat encounters in Diablo 4. It's all about finding the gaming experience that resonates with you personally.

Ultimately, both games have their unique strengths, and they cater to different types of RPG enthusiasts. What matters most is that players find enjoyment and satisfaction in the experiences they seek. So, embrace your preference and savor the adventures that await you in the world of gaming!

Dude just go back to headbutting your 1,2,3,4 keys, it's what you were born to do.
