Is this at least better than Diablo 3?

[Amuro]

I'd like to say I thought Diablo3 was a low bar, and worse than Diablo2 if I'm being honest.
But it was "OK".

I am willing to get this game, with the sale price, if it's better than Diablo3. I don't care if its "repetitive", its a frigging diablo/crawler game haha.

i think it's much better than d3

[Letobrick]

D3 was also great, but D4 is even better. If you doubt it, buy in on Steam to try and refund it before hitting 2 hours

Unlike movies, game sequels often are better but it's not always the case, especially if they rights are sold to a different studio or even if they've got some different team or designer in charge at the same studio, then the sequels will usally be bad.

So if you want to know if d3 was better, ask yourself the question......

Diabl3ah is like a great action film. It's fun while you play it and then it's over very quickly. If you want colourful & flashy Diabl3ah is your game.
If you want an actual game that feels like the old Diablo games D4 is way better in that regard.

[Chays]

both games are not good but if you want play an arpg than is d3 better.
if you want watch cut scene than d4

Sorry, disagree.

They tried to make D4 seem like an MMO Open-World and fail bad.

Should of kept the system of all the other diablos.

have a town hub, and portals to other places. Few dungeons here and there.

Having a horse and open world does nothing for Diablo.

D4 is overall a step-backwards IMO.

But what do I know... I was born in 1980.

Personally did not care for D3, but then only played it in the early days and it pissed me off something aweful back then..
This is pretty decent tho it lacks some more to do at high levels imo. But only been here for last season and maybe i am still missing some things..

While a big letdown at launch, D3 got quite good over time, but I think D4 exceeds D3 by far already at this point, and with more improvement to come alike.

The main question here is, what are you looking for?

If your main complaint about D3 was the direction in artstyle, and how it felt more like WoW than Diablo, I'd say D4 is more than worth the money, it really gets back to the roots, and recaptures that atmosphere and feel of D1/2 nearly perfectly. A far superior experience to D3.

If your main problem with D3 was the change in mechanics and build philosophy, then D4 does (imo) repair/improve on some of those changes, making a step further in game-evolution. Stuff like the builder/spender mechanics implemented with D3 might have felt wrong at the time, but have evolved into a sound and valuable mechanic over time imo (with still room for improvement, as there "always" is).

I played D3 3 month and Im still playing D4. I plan to play two next season too and levelup Sorc and Barb. I heard Expansion should bring new Class so that too.

I would say it's definitely not. Diablo III wasn't great, but it was fun for a few playthroughs and I'd pick it up again for a run every couple years.

Diablo IV is a soulless live service and even the first run through the campaign is miserable. I know you said you don't care if the game is repetitive (and it really is), but the combat isn't exciting or interesting and the skill trees are bland beyond words.

I quit this game out of boredom halfway through my first campaign, and at no point have I felt like getting back to it. There are way, way better action RPGs out there today.

Diablo IV is NOT better than Diablo III.
Diablo III is garbage.
Diablo IV is worse than Diablo III.

I don't know how they manipulated you guys into thinking that they were improving Diablo III. But, Diablo III was garbage at launch and years later it's still garbage.

Diablo III > Wolcen > Diablo IV

The best thing Diablo 3 did for me was make me buy Grim Dawn. Diablo 4 is imho much better.

[Biff]

Diablo 3 is a much better than 4. Diablo 4 is a disgrace to the franchise.

Having said that, Diablo 2 is by far the best but is much harder to get into for people new to the franchise.

Always crazy to see the deluded responses to threads like this.

It's the same game.

The D4 dev teams got fired and entirely new teams were hired three times over the few years D4 was in production.

The final dev team was like "f it" and just copied D3.

Nightmare dungeons = rifts.
Tree = bounties.

Only thing missing is horadric cube and sets, which will both be added eventually.

Horadric cube will probably be it's own paid expansion.

Set gear will be paid xpac #2.

Welcome to blizz, even after the 2k got laid off.


edit: and btw, D3 was and is kinda mid tier at best. D4 = 4/10, D3 = 5/10.
