Is Diablo 3 way better?

[Diamond Girls]

Should I consider buying this game?

That depends on what you are looking for, really.
If you want flashy & colourful and being OP in 3 hours or less then Diablo III is your game.

In my opinion. D3 was/is better as it feels more intensive gaming and more depth to the gameplay compared to D4. But, i also do like D4 as it have its own charms Solo, co-op, mmo, open world, smooth game-play, PvE/PvE environment... etc.

Quite different games at endgame.
I find that D3 allows more freedom to fool around with builds, and particularly skills, that work (though they won't necessarily bring you to GR150, they can still be fun), because of the amount of gear you can get.
While D4 is much more straightforward, good gear is more scarce and does not allow for as much variation.

Diablo 3 is probably the worst APRG I've ever played and I don't expect much out of a stale genre.

D3 is the more polished game but it is no longer receiving seasonal updates. I would say if you're a beginner to Diablo, D3 is a good place to start because it's cheaper and more forgiving to try out different builds on each character.

Yeah. I turned it on the other day, and yes, it's way more fun than this.

It always got seasonal updates to this day. New season theme, and some stats tweaked, or new unique effects. And sometimes on the second half of the season, they add a second season effect on top of it, but mostly something like find double goblins or something to boost the loot gain.

The only things that stopped was getting new season set transmogs, which is just 1 (making one for every class and gender was enough work I guess in terms of free transmogs), the rest of season rewards rotate, though sometimes a new pet pops up too.

Imo D3 is yeah very fun, getting to around GR ~70 is enough for me though (depends on the class), after that it becomes a slog fest like this game is at start to finish (depends on the class and build).
Story is though way better in D4, especially the cinematics, D3 is still good story wise.

Ah, come on, D3 is a power fantasy with cringe, inconsistent characters and nonsensical story line. It has very good gameplay in the endgame, but as far as story goes it's embarrassing.
The way I see it, D4 is the first entry in the series with a story and characters that can be taken seriously and worth seeing (but not side content, it's super cringe).

It's still good, don't care if you don't like it.

Yeah I wasn't totally clear, I meant the current season in Diablo 3 (season 29) is the last one with any new content. They will just recycle the old content from each season onward.

Yeah I'm still enjoying D3 to this date. I reached GR 105 on PC (Yuzu Emulator) with Paragon 1,500.

Now I'm on Switch, starting the campaign again. I love the game.

Judging by your comments I don't think I should buy this game for end game unless there will be good development.

Another question is, can I use gamepad on D4? Cuz I got used to it in D3 and found it better and more convenient than keyboard and mouse.

Oh, well in that case, I would defn consider buying this game. Its made significant improvements in the current season 2 vs season 1 and prior. And yes you can use the gamepad like in D3.

No. It's garbage. And it always has been.

Wow. That alone will make me consider it buying the game.

I thought Diablo 3 was bad, but after a decade, Diablo 3 is good. I thought Diablo 4 was horrible, and after 250~ hours, Diablo 4 is absolute boring trash beta release full priced but monetized like free to play corporate greed.

Diablo 4 is a rearrangement of Diablo 3 systems. Paragon points are just setup as boards now, greater rifts and rifts and just nightmare dungeons or AoZ. Then there's a boring mmo recreation landscape where you can grind boring repetitive monsters, just to grind and level like in an mmo simulator.
