Diablo 4 is a brand new upcoming ARPG from Blizzard Entertainment that as of making this video is available to play in beta up to act 1.
Diablo 4 has a lot more MMO Lite features than its predecessor Diablo 3, you’ll see other players out in the world, hanging out in cities, there’s random world events, world bosses and you’re able to form groups as well as participate in PVP.
In this video I go into Diablo 4 completely blind as someone that’s avoided all spoilers, UA-cam coverage and information about the game, this is just a first impressions of the beta and some things are likely to change or be improved upon full release
What do you think about Diablo 4 so far? Do you think this game will be ready for full release or does it have a lot of problems it still needs to fix? is it as good as other ARPGs? let me know in the comments below!

Diablo 4 2023 MMORPG Steam Description
HELL WELCOMES ALL
Diablo® IV is the ultimate action RPG experience with endless evil to slaughter, countless abilities to master, nightmarish dungeons, and legendary loot. Embark on the campaign solo or with friends, through beautifully dark settings, or explore a shared world where players can meet in towns to trade, team up to battle world bosses, or descend into PVP zones to test their skills against other players.
HEROES OF SANCTUARY
Create and customize your character to battle onward against the unspeakable horrors that blight this land. Choose from one of five classes, discover and experiment with a vast array of powerful equipment, and carefully select your talents and abilities to become steadfast in the face of darkness. But choose wisely; your world depends on it.
EXPLORE SANCTUARY
Explore Sanctuary - Discover the world of Sanctuary as you battle through its expansive lands. Join fellow adventurers, retake besieged towns, delve into corrupted dungeons, and uncover lost secrets as you fight for the fate of the world.
STRONGHOLDS
Heroic adventurers can clear out Strongholds such as this one, claiming them once again for the citizens of Sanctuary. The town will never be the same, but victory here can leave a lasting mark and transform this hostile region into a safe haven.
PVP
Battles take a turn when you enter PvP zones. Mark yourself as “hostile” and these high-risk, high-reward areas of Sanctuary allow you to take a swing at other players for their valuable loot. But be warned. This also opens you up to being swung at.
LEGENDS OF CREATION
An old legend has it that Sanctuary was created by the union of an angel and a demon, and that their descendants-humanity-built villages, then cities and empires, spreading across the land to form the world's cultures and civilization.

gg peon! i think game looks good
"ok, lets play with tier 2 difficulty, i don't want it feel too easy"
review: "this game has poor balance"
wtfffff....
Nope don't need trash on my phone
I disagree with one Con, The game should get harder as you progress even though you get more powerful, keeping the combat against even basic mobs challenging adds a lot more meat and potatoes to the game. one could stay on difficulty 1 if they want a breezy xp.
How can you even think of making a deal with RAID, i am very disappointed on this point....
I know they pay insane amounts but honestly ...
If you hold down shift when you left click, your char will attack in that direction rather than moving. Very useful to stop moving into enemies as a ranged :)
yes, in d3 shift was the "demon hunter not ded" hotkey
with that special gem thing that scaled on distance you'd bee shooting things off screen for the most of it :D
yup also found this out! Great addition. I decided to make "A" direct move too. Very nice for not break stealth.
Edit: 5 years old really going to cry me a river over "Great addition" Get over your self. Go find a fucking girl. LOSERS
@@twoandhalfbengals this has actually been a feature since Diablo 1 in 1996.
Cut can't atk and move at the same time. It's bad control design if u ask me.
Remember to disable sticky keys!
playing necro now after trying every class to like level 9 and necro feels so much more OP and fluid
game director is anal for necro, def a coincidence.
There's a setup already that's completely broken. It'll get nerfed for sure.
Druid didnt get good for me until 15+ so getting to lvl 9 really isnt experiencing much.
The golden child of Blizzard. 🤣
Theres a Necro build with a certain legendary that has perma invulnerability 😂
I stay. I watch. I don't preorder.
Me too
#metoo
Couldn’t agree more.
Even if it's amazing, I'm just tired of Blizzard products at this point
I've never played an isometric game like this I love it and I'm pre ordering it
There is an option for D2R that's called "Force move" and you keybind it to anything you want, and when you hold that key down, your character keeps running in whatever direction your mouse is pointed to.
It's definitely in the settings you just have to find it. Would save you a lot from miss-clicking stuff and potentially dying.
Or Shift + Left click (works since Diablo 1)
@@igorthelight Isn't shift the opposite? Hold position, so you stand completely still and attack stationary. The force move means it will always move and not attack.
@@samwas123 correct
i think he was trying to get at it'd be better if you could WASD move + left click attack. that way your attack and movement aren't tied to cursor location.
To complement this tip: In D3 its popular to bind force move to wheel up and down as secondary, that way you move easier. However right now its not posible to bind the wheel as a Key. I used X-mouse to change the input for one of the side buttons of my mouse to go around that problem
I absolutely loved my experience as a Barbarian 😅. So any improvements are welcomed
Barbarian thicc af but nobody *THICCER* than druid
facerolling all the content on the op classes feels bad imo
Played barbarian in the first beta and it was awesome. Other classes might be stronger at the start, but is facerolling everything fun even?
female barbi for life
Same. Loved playing barb and dudu. On the other hand I had the feeling that necro and mage are way to Op. I would nerf them instead of increase the power of other classes.
No matter how messed up Blizz has become, their cinematics are still top-tier
How do I watch the 'cinematics' without purchasing their ridiculous, now-multiplayer-only product?
@@CooManTunes youtube
I've been a fan of Diablo since the first game back when I was a teenager and After enjoying both the first and second games I hated Diablo 3 and Diablo 4 doesn't seem that interesting to me either. I just don't see many points in favor of playing this over 1 or 2 when you take graphics out of the equation.
Blizzard's Cinematics are why I cant fathom the logic of a Live-action Warcraft movie
Don't they ship out the cinematic work to Blur Studios?
there's an option in the settings to unlink attack/move/interact, but it does mean u will need 3 separate keybinds
o.O that would be nice actually!! is there a key to force move over spells when holding down?
@@twoandhalfbengals You don't have to unlink left click, simply bind force move to another button.
@@berkinguvenc318 ya I have that. Was hoping for button I could hold to modify my left click to always move. I dont think that is a option though
Barbarian is and odd duck and needs some context I feel. Early tester here, did several waves going back a year or so.
The barbarian is probably the most gear dependent early game class. They have a really neat new ability in D4, and that's to have 4 weapons equipped at once. They'll swap between the weapons as they attack if you interweave abilities that use different weapon types. They only attack with one weapon at a time, however they still get all the passive stats of the other 3 weapons. Their base damage is tuned to account for this; by the time you have 4 bangarang weapons they will in fact start hurting pretty good. There isn't an excuse Blizz hasn't fudged their early game math a little to help with on-boarding, but this is the state of the class.
Furthermore, while most classes will get to have 9 or 10 legendary effects when fully stacked (depending on whether they use a 2-handed weapon or 2 1-handed weapons), Barbarians will get 12. Furtherermore, different legendary effects can only be put on certain types of items, the most class-specific offense-tuned ones tending to end up on Helms, Amulets and Weapons. This means not only will barbarians get 12 Legendary effects, but instead of the usual 3 or 4 of them being the best offense types 6 of them can be, and 2 of them at 2-hander potency to boot. This gets very powerful when you manage to find and stack effects that all compliment or augment a single playstyle, and is much more fun than the base journey to lvl 25 lets on. Grinding out a legendary set on the beta begins to show some of the potential, but we'll really just need the full game to truly appreciate where it can go.
Sorry for the text wall, hope this provides some context. Again, there is no excuse for the class to have been show-cased this poorly or for Sorcerer's/Necro's to be as busted as they can currently get with single legendary effects. That said, early to mid game balance has always favored spells in these types of games and getting the perfect set of stacking attack modifiers has always benefitted some classes more than others later on. I believe Barb to be one of these based on my experience. High-end nightmare dungeons in world tier 4 require different builds and items compared to the story on normal difficulty, and barb performed above what I could get other classes to do in that environment. I got to play all the way to Lvl 90+ and test endgame. It's not as deep as PoE for example, but I think will be great fun. Really looking forward to the full release.
FYI, gear will give you the +1 even if you are at rank 0 for any skill. So, you can use a piece of gear to enable a skill you haven't actually unlocked which can be pretty useful for early game utility without having to nerf core spells by deviating points away from them.
You can still only use 6 skills though, but you can benefit from their passives.
I played both weekends of the beta, first as a Barbarian and then as the Necromancer. While the Necro feels a bit OP, I didnt struggle with the Barb either. It probably depends on the builds you choose. I went Whirlwind bleed and my leggo pulled enemies in on my whirlwind. I found it tons of fun.
That's what I also found out. I enjoyed playing barb more than I played druid, I just upped the thorns node and I was fine, enemies are dying almost instantly lol
Yeah, idk why Peon says dumb shite like that... The game devs see this stuff especially from big youtubers.. they gonna completely change stuff because of his uneducated opinion on something he "heard" about.
@@sirnicholibraden86 you had 3x loot drop rate for legendary items. no char from beta should be based upon being good from just having legendaries. As on release you will just have 1 or 2 max by 25.
also played both weekends, had fun, looking forward for the summer
Barb was my favorite class. I use different skills (Hammers of the ancients instead of whirlwind) and was absolutely destroying bosses with right gear and shouts. Literally just face tanking them on veteran.
Peon at 6:30 : "This is gonna feel cozy."
30 seconds later : "Oh no. This doesn't look good."
The main problem with the druid is that you didn't get to access its specialization. I feel like we're missing out on a lot of the class power.
This was a HUGE mistake imo, having the specialization in an area you can't get to so silly.
@@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha its a beta obv
@@febsho9613 yes but the other classes get there specialization quest to complete, seems like an oversight that Druid didn't get to do his, this being one reason why he isn't as good as the others at this point with the 25 level cap, that could change mid game well have to wait and see. It was a great beta overall, lots to do and enjoy, it was mostly positive despite the lag and admission of Druids specialization quest.
@@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha i think maybe the controversy is planned and arranged. But I've heard people that played the alfa saying druid is actually opie
@@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha They arent making the game for level 25 players, people need to chill and wait for the game to release to get a real feel for all the classes.
I rarely leave a comment, but I really enjoyed how excited you were. Made me really happy.
me and my friends jumped in game last night, and 7 hours later in the wee hours in the morning we went to sleep. it is fun and we never had a crash or disconnect. fun game at least so far.
I find no overlay map as a pro. Makes you focus more on actual environment and not just minimap. It's making it more immerse.
agreed.
As a casual, more story-focused player I agree as well but also understand that the more hardcore ARPG fans like the overlay more.
Is this his first time ever playing this genre? His reactions are so pure, like he never played a game like this before kek
well, it looked like it was his first time seeing The Butcher so it's safe to say he didn't play diablo 1,2, and 3 :)
Ah! Fresh meat!
Literally ;-)
The barb is the most fun for me. Feels more involved and requires lots of tweaking to get it to work. Which i am sure will change on later levels but great up to 25 anyway
Melee classes always feel the most interactive
Tried Werebear druid and it's hella fun, combined it with wolves and the dmg is really nice, though i find it extremely annoying that mobs keep running away from me nonstop; i get what they were trying to do but it feels annoying more than anything lol
I think that's just how barbs work. They feel underwhelming at the beginning but by end game they can solo almost everything.
@@antemedon kinda like how WoW warriors scale well into the late game as a late bloomer since they’re heavily dependent on weapons.
I feel like the barb in the very late endgame with all the systems they’ll be very powerful.
i felt same but necromancer might just top barbarian for me, insane class
Loved the experience so far! The interface could be better, also the skill tree could be opticaly improved, other than that great! Almost didnt do anything else from Friday to Monday. Am more of a solo player though, but wasnt bothered by the other players.
7:50 I was the same. Don't rly care about the cut scenes but this game somehow made me watch it all :D
Not if it's as long as some are saying. If there's 3hrs of cutscenes in the first 5 or 6hrs of gameplay then it's ridiculous to sit through all that more than once.
@@mickpratt8327 Who said anything about watching it more than once? They’re just saying they were interested enough to actually watch the story unfold instead of skipping it all. If you don’t want to watch it then fine.
Blizzard Cutscenes are always top notch.
This is my 1st Diablo game. The intro cutscene caught my attention. Made me wanna pay attention to the story. Game is very satisfying for me . 1st time. Only thing that bothers me is how long the fuckin dungeons are . Like 15-20 mins of dungeon crawling. But I guess that’s the point 🤷🏽♂️
@@NickMaruca NO, they are NOT. Look at the Diablo 3 Cutscenes. They were shitty and boring.
The rubber banding between zones got much better after the first day or so in the first weekend. There's a bind for force move, which I put on another mouse button, but the way you described the issues with having it on the left click were right on the money. I didn't miss the map overlay, I used the right-click-to-pin on the map and followed the path. (which is not always exactly right, but I actually LIKED that because c'mon, it's an unexplored map.) The cutscenes are AMAAAZING, and the story is incredible. Just the conversations with random villagers contributed a lot to the story and feel of the world. Melee has always been tough for Blizzard to get right, just look at D2R, 20-some years and it's still the red-headed stepchild. Great video overall!
No it didn't, the rubberbanding is still awful as of ten minutes ago.
Been hooked on the beta, the combat is fast and builds / skills can be synergised on the fly, they also took a page out of the tried and tested 40-60 second "find something" exploration discovery book. Worked well for ER and it works well for this game too.
It costs more than S$90 for the standard edition where I'm at. Played the open beta and I liked the game but don't feel like it's worth it at that price. I'll wait for a discount but I'd probably moved on from D4 by the time the price drops 😅
I started with Barbarian and admittley, it is more of a struggle and to be successful, I had to go down a particular skill path and couldn't keep my original build. I too also expected to get more powerful as I leveled and was surprised when some boss fights got harder for me as I leveled instead of easier. Using the typical formula, "I can't beat the boss now, I will level a bit more and come back" and only got my @ss beat even worse. That feeling sucked but I made it through eventually changing up skills.
Ye I hate the fact zones level up alongside your character, so you get weaker while monsters get stronger as you go
Back tracking zones to level or gear up in ARPG's is a common theme..
@@9g821 zones dont level up with you. Zones are higher level than you. You work your way into content, the more content you skip the harder the next content. The better you understand the game the more content you can skip.
Well, just give then $19.99 when they drop their power bundle pack soon... LOL.
Stop supporting this garbage tier company, all the good devs left, it's a totally different and DEGENERATE generation of LGBTQ ppls.
@@IL_BgentylDo you even play this game?
some zones have a higher starting point, aka they are higher than your level, BUT once you are higher than that level, it always levels up wirh you. You cant be in a zone that is lower than your level.
Im always sceptical when someone talks about a game (which should tell me if its good or not) and the person has at the beginning of the video a raid shadow legends commercial and even tells me how grand it is.....
Played yesterday and today, and finished act I with a sorcerer. Really solid and enjoyable gameplay, the art direction is outstanding (as usual with Blizzard games), the sound design and music, magnificient. I also really like that they reduced the scale of the events going on in the story. You're not the usual Chosen One (which was the case in D3), blessed with god-like powers, facing divine entities of cosmos magnitude. You're just a skilled adventurer traveling around, helping the common folks, trying to follow Lilith and stop her. But I'm still cautious about two things: monetization and end-game gameplay loop and systems.
Why would you care about monetization? Lol i dont get how people dont have money for games. Like what the fk is your salary? If you got proper education you should earn lets say 8k bucks monthly, you dont have a few bucks for a game? 😂😂
@M $100 for an open beta is ridiculous
@M Damn bro its just an opinion. I think you are the one that is triggered. I understand its free but asking that much for a pre order is way too much. I am sure that will be the base price at launch, usually preorders are discounted.
@M have you accepted our lord and savior, Jesus Christ? He said once, "if thou angsty, touch thy grass blessed by the sun."
I actually bound the force move (move without attacking) to the right click. And the right click attack i moved to another button. Made navigating with mob groups a bit easier. Also felt a little bit more like lost ark which had very fluid movement in my opinion.
As far as cutscenes go, Diablo may be the best franchise ever in that regard. I love all of Blizzards cutscenes, but man... Diablo is just such a sick setting.
Thank you for your time and information on Diablo 4. I played all 5 Characters and I did like all range characters better than the melee characters but that also may be a personal preference.
I agree, also hate level scaling in games, but that's one thing they won't change unfortunately
What's wrong with it
Bear Druid has been an absolute delight to play. I love ramming into groups and bashing them into the environment.
Also the bear roar is daddy af.
19:07 in the control options you can remove left mouse from move, attack, and collect so its just move and the other two options you'd just need to remap your keys for.
Main issue most people have with that is that you can't have both move and interact on the same keybind if you do that.
@@demonsoulstealer123 You can do that by having interact and move on the same key bind, in the settings you can have an alternate key bind to adjust for that problem.
i played all characters to lvl 25 and while i enjoyed all of them a lot i feel that, at least in the lvl 1-25 window, the necro and sorc are the strongest.
obviously it depends on your build and there are strong builds for every class, even in the limeted beta. but with necro and sorc you didnt really need to put much thought into it. everything felt good. i enjoyed being able to die to normal mobs as a barb though :P
All characters 1-25 touch grass in two days ?
@@azz6550 last beta carried over in terms of level so the individual coulda leveled the 1st three classes offered and then leveled the 2 new ones this past weekend.
No more nostalgia atmosphere, diablo 2 still the best
As a Barb main since D2 back in the 90s, I liked the D4 experience. It was like playing in Hell difficulty.
One thing to bear in mind is that we don't know how power levels will look like until we're not max lvl and max paragon.
Usually in all games wizard/mages are easier to level up with.
15:00 When playing Diablo, I've always put my movement on scroll wheel. Just spamming that to run and shift/left click to attack! helped loads
that's a good idea, my pinky gets tired of holding shift all the time
Ctrl, shift and alt always on mouse buttons. Great for lefties too.
Class balance means nothing at lvl25 with lowest or second lowest difficulty. Impossible to figure out what class shines at lvl75 with right gear compared to other classes with as good gear. Level 25 is just a stepping stone where you stay just a moment. Also drop rates on items are boosted for this open beta and of course people aren't normally staying at lvl25 getting best gear for that level.
There is still 1 problem i have with it.. Some classes because they are far stronger than others during leveling are just more fun to play then others. And as Druid for example i was doing really shitty until i got atleast a few legendaries. So if they arent there anymore cause of lower drop rates its a real struggle to level druid which just isnt fun compared to other classes who are as powerful than my full legandary druid with no legis or just 1 or 2. Sooo ofcourse at max level with real builds that all can change but they have to balance the level experience atleast slightly.
No shit, Sherlock.
Yeah I made a barbarian first character and it was rough, I feel like I switched up my build 20 times to get to 25 and finish act 1. I'm playing necromancer this time and its like day and night, its so much easier.
But you still need to press buttons. play Druid and you won't need a keyboard.
And that switches completely in endgame. Barbarians just spin to win with 1 button and insane dps while necromancer needs to really use their cds effectively.
I like that they made respecing no big deal so if I found an ability specific legendary I could at least try it out without any consequences.
at level 50 you unlock paragons, and codex of power and legendary items contain powerful stats that can also be imbued onto rare items, and Unqiue items will Augment your skills
15:04 there used to be an option to hold down shift or control to keep yourself from moving when clicking
It's still there
That's not what we want tho, we want to be able to move through enemies without attacking them. For that purpose I had to rebind almost everything, personally, I'd like if we could move with WASD.
It's still a thing ;-)
In almost ALL of aRPGs
Leveling up in these games is less about feeling more powerful instantly and more about opening new doors for careful decisions that could make you more powerful if you get into it. New armors and weapons to equip at higher levels, carefully choosing new abilities even if you are tempted to pick cooler sounding ones over and over, getting more options possibly at venders and crafting stations to maybe enhance your stats that way, etc. I like these games for this reason. It makes you put some thought into your characters but is also fairly accessible in my opinion. I find it so satisfying to basically handcraft my character into a god
I’m new to Diablo and I really like it 🤷🏾♂️ wanted to try it out and end up playing until the sun came up
New to Diable or just to hack and slash in general?
I would also recommend to try:
* Torchlight (1 and 2 but NOT 3)
* Grim Dawn
* Path of Exile
* Inquisitor Martyr if you like Warhammer 40k
That intro cinematic is actually insane. I don’t remember rewatching cinematic trailers like this one since I was younger watching WoW cinematics 👏
its good but starcraft heart of the swarm trailer is the best there is imho
@@simonsayz3925 - I was thinking the same. The Lilith intro is nice, but overall I feel their WoW and Starcraft 2 cinematics are way better.
BFA intro and SC 2 Legacy of the Void was crazy.
What Blizzard did here with Diablo 4 was literally a genious idea. By letting us play diablo 4 open beta, they basicly ran a free commercial campaign for path of exile. Everyones looking at it, playing it, getting interested in arpgs a little more and then realizing poe is simply the better game hands down so they can very well just play that one instead.
Truth! D4 sucked.
As a long time FPS and Call of Duty ''veteran''... i picked this game on my series x, instead of PC... just because since its a BETA, and i must say... WOW!!! Has Diablo franchise or MMO's like this always been good and addictive??? my first 20minutes on this game has left me speechless!! i don't know what to say... IM LOVING IT.
I have a PC with 3080ti ryzen 95900x, do i get this on PC or console??
My only concern are the microtransactions, these we wont see until full release
only cosmetics and mounts STRICTLY that
@@rigormortis3219 how do you know that?
@@artemzelinskyi7433 UHHHHH????? blizzard they stated its not going to follow the path of diablo immortal....you foreigners need to get with the program lol
So far I like it.. really digging the story and lore stuff so far. Good cutscenes, solid gameplay
So how is it now? Keeping dig the story? Lmao
I think I am also playing one of the most broken builds with rogue and their shadow imbusing weapons stuff but for me the experience of feeling weaker the further you get in the game wasnt part of my experience. Besides the butcher I was breezing through most of the mobs.
Played it myself and in coop with my friend. A few issues with sound and aiming using a rogue. Overall that played really well for a beta. That's the best looking diablo game to date. Outstanding job on the graphics
I played every diablo up to diablo 3. D3 Was a major dissapointment. Dumbed down to cater to as much people as possible. D4 i never bothered.
Im happy with d2 resurrected the only and best diablo thst deserves to the Name.
Yeah Barb and Druid early lvls feels kind of tough compared to the range classes. After you get some skills and Legendary gear. It felt more solid. Ive seen some good Druid builds despite everything saying the class is trash! Im hoping that the full release is more polished and has more exciting things to explore.
the thing with druid is. That it's not trash if you have nothing to compare it to. But as soon as you compare it to the other classes you start to notice it. Mind you my 20+ level druid did less damage than my 12 level rogue. Something is very off
"character rubber bands on new zones" < this is the server tech new world used but aligned with actual area borders, you are loading your character in real time between actual servers to spread the bandwidth load
The game looks pretty good so far.
I played the beta yesterday for about 7 hours... I ended up uninstalling because I literally was bored and almost falling asleep... Same thing happens when I play Diablo 3... It's really sad that Blizzard couldn't make a game that can keep me awake in 11 years.
have you ever thought that maybe it's you growing out of games instead of the game "keeping you awake"? but sure keep blaming the game for not being engaging when millions of people are saying otherwise.
@@chryomadzz4360 ? I would have needed to grow out of games since 2012... And no I enjoy D2R, PoE, Last Epoch and a lot of other games... Blizzards last two ARPG's just literally makes my brain go to sleep when playing them.
@@1Life2Little So recent Diablos are too easy? Samey?
@@igorthelight Just not fun... gearing is dull... no real danger while leveling... I don't know why but I seriously get physically tired after playing an hour or so... No other games does this to me... And trust me I want a new good Diablo game... But D2R actually feels like more fun than Diablo 4 to me at least. (And I'm so tired of playing D2R after all these years)
@@1Life2Little Fair point!
Did you played:
* Path of Exile
* Lost Ark
* Grim Dawn
* Wolcen
* Torchlight 1 and 2
* Last Epoch
* Inquisitor Martyr
I would say it’s a buy if you enjoy open world, ARPFs. The open world really fits Diablo in how they’ve gone about it, and build variety is pretty good, and that’s without access to the level 15 class specialties and paragon board.
It's not open world
I agree the open world and Diablo works very well
yea, you folks really need to learn what 'open world' means. these are just big maps, its not very open at all.
@@Riftweaver1981 An open world is a level or game designed as nonlinear, open areas with many ways to reach an objective. Sounds like this game. Took your advice and looked it up.
@@Kilson-76 'many ways to reach an objective' is still very linear if the levels are just wide open. GTA is open world, Saints row is open world. most assassins creed games are open world. diablo 4 is just has big wide open overworld levels that are full of linear paths. saying that you can take path a, or path b to get to an objective doesnt mean much when they are both just pathways through a mountain trail that converge onto the objectives location.
I'd never been really interested in Diablo after playing a lot of D2, and getting kind of bored of the click and run. But seeing this actually makes me want to try it out!
Good video dude, nice to see you branch out from just mmo videos
This is an MMO.
If anyone has Sony/ LG OLED TV this game will truly shine.
I hope he does go to at least 20 one character. I know he hasn't paid much attention to the stuff putting out, but you get a few titles, and an item for hitting 20 in the beta. I found maxing chars to 25 really gave me a bit of fair idea of what I want to play at launch, and a decent feel for the classes.
I agree with the level 20, but some people get burned out by replaying the story over and over. And seasonal chars can skip the story.
@@Patrick_Engels No doubt, after my first time through i skip cutscenes now as i try the different classes or builds. I am glad i got at least one to 25 post story by trying different dungeons, going and finding the strongholds which have their own lil stories.
That was the most fluent transition into an ad I’ve ever seen 😂
Super fun game so far. D3 was like a looting simulator. This feels like an actual game with good story.
Really? I found it got boring pretty fast. Dungeons feel the same after a while and so on. I definately hope the endgame will be good to justify that price.
I gotta be honest, I wouldn’t expect the endgame to be significantly different. It’s not like the entire gameplay formula is going to get dropped at that point. I’d assume you’ll get more of what you saw, but more intense and with better rewards.
I’m playing the Open Beta. The story, as with Diablo 3, is so fucking good.
Diablo has always had grade A storys and amazing cuts scenes, I wouldn't have expected anything different from IV
Too bad this is missing here.
D3 wasn’t great, but they’ve gone back to D2 roots with this one.
@@imtotallyseriously I agree
holy shit man, i cant believe its you, i used to watch your wow content as a kid and could not recognize you. You looking great dude. Keep it up brother. You inspired me alot
Diablo IV, and the genre really, hasn't had any innovations at all in the last years. It's like playing the same game from 10 years ago, but now it looks better. This genre has so much potential, Diablo 3 had so much potential, but they are never able to hit it, unfortunately.
I agree with the lack of character creation options such as the hair and facial presets/customisation for sure
I wasn't a fan of Diablo 3, actually i never liked it but i'm addicted to the atmosphere of this one, the story and voice acting are some of the best blizzard ever made in my opinion. Now i only have to decide whether buying it on PC or PS5 since i'm playing the beta on both and they're about the same, a controller feels miles better than mouse and keyboard though.
The atmosphere is the key to most games. I hated D3 and i even tried plauing past act 2 times last months and i hate it even more haha
D4 is freaking amazing.
Are you not able to use a PS controller on PC? I know you can use Xbox controllers on the PC version of the game.
Grown man with anime child pfp? Enjoy dying alone
@@TravlerBlue I'm not sure if the dualsense works on PC, never tried it.
D3 was a solid game, people just pissed and moaned about the graphics and the launch was trash.
My biggest issue is monetization. It's a full price game, 69.99-99.99 euro, with a cash shop AND battle passes. Most games that have micro-transactions are free or way cheaper. Might get it in a few years when it's on a big discount.
The Necromancer experience was top tier! 👌🏽
I thought Necro was gonna be nerfed from the previous game but I was wrong. Been playing D3 playing Necro and now playing Necro in D4 I felt stronger
@@Eldergodconsultant the Beta was smart af, marketwise, because I definitely preordered the game. Now the hard part…waiting.
@@intimacy2440 fr! Im definitely getting the game. I was up all night playing
@@Eldergodconsultant make sure you
Get to Lv. 20 by the end of the day (before the Beta disappears), so you get the armor set and title when the game comes out 👌🏽
@@intimacy2440 I did. With the Necromancer
My impression so far from the Beta is that it's very well-polished and smooth. There are a few technical kinks, but it's pretty much what one would expect from Blizztivision: bafflingly massive production values, not straying too far from the original formula, with smart improvements here and there. More of the same, but modernized. Also, the storytelling seems MUCH improved over previous titles.
@@xbahamutzero just wrong... cant kill bunch of monsters alone? Are you playing solo? Because my wizard can kill 5 bosses together easily, so can my barb and necro...
@@xbahamutzero I don't find it very MMORPG-y at all, honestly, but yeah, I suppose we're looking for different things. I never understood the community playing Diablo competitively or people sinking thousands of hours into it - I just want to play through the story and maybe dabble in endgame content a little bit with a small group of people in co-op. It seems perfect for that. I don't expect to put thousands of hours into it but I appreciate the visuals, appreciate the storytelling (which is way better than in previous games imho and a lot more interesting thematically because not all the conflict is just "who beats the other side up harder" and there's some actual human struggle) and appreciate the usability. Different strokes, though.
@@xbahamutzero omg
@@xbahamutzero then why does my friend with barb can do the same?
@@xbahamutzero or my other friend with rogue melting world boss, and he plays druid and he enjoys... so i would just say skill issue to you
This is my first Diablo experience, i am enjoying it so far, prob gonna buy it AFTER it releases, no pre-orders!
This game is MUCH closer to Diablo 1 and 2 than 3 (dark, grim atmosphere, hopelessness, gothic style)
There is no point talking about balance in a beta with only 25 levels, limited access to legendaries, no sets and no uniques that drop in higher diffs on max lvl that basically change the way your build works.
Nice review! Btw, holding down shift while attacking will hold you in place. That should help you a lot.
2:53 - I agree 100% which is why I'm gonna click that little grey X in the top right hand corner... see you in June!
you hold shift so you don`t move while pressing left click.
He's saying you can't do the opposite, move without unintentionally attacking something
@@brianlimmy you can tho
I have never commented on a single youtube video... like ever. Your ad intro is fucking GOATED. That's all I have to say.
You should be switching between world level 1 and 2 to avoid feeling like you are getting weaker. Anything above the base world level is meant to level you faster than you get gear for and is meant for alt gear funneled characters, and those who want to feel challenged (and therefore want difficulty to go up), anything above level 2 (not available yet) is meant for geared funneled characters who want a challenge.
well its blizzard they always were known of making the best cut scenes ever and telling a story
I see. I click.
I click. I see.
@@sig3ldunc4nI Click, I...I see.
I i
I had to stop watching at 7:38 because I didn't want to be further spoiled. This looks amazing, and I can't wait to play D4!
It was my first time playing a Diablo game (even tho I've played a lot of MMOs before) and I really enjoyed it. All the complains that I have are just little complains tbh, the game is really cool.
amazing game just hope you can zoom the camera out abit more on full release
Best game I’ve played in a long time 👍
Same here! So excited
@@cirescythe 💯
First Diablo game, went in blind, didn't know how it played , fell in love. Impressive game
Thing I hate about the dodge is that it doesnt even makes you invincible. And since the hit detection is often lacking, especially in bosses fight, it makes it rather useless.
I just can't help to ask, what is the difference from Diablo 3? at all?
I don't care for story neither. But Diablo does it right. The voices are great and the cinematics with you own character is done super well. Not over the top animations. Just your character with the other characters. It is beautiful. And the game is fun too. Can't wait for full release. For now beta and I am having fun! I don't even know why I am looking at this video. It is weekend, its beta playing time :D But gotta gives some love to Peon! And the Necro is for sure OP. I love this playstyle. Have fun Peon!
On a side note. At the end you said "I don't know if the game will be completely ready for launch"..... Back in the good old days of Blizzard, the game would not be released untill 98% would be oke. But now, thanks to greedy cooperations the game will be launched bugged AF. I have so many regrets for the game industry these days. Blizzard was one of the companies whom would not release until they were happy. I guess those days are over.....Sad
Blah blah blah lol get a life
If you hold down shift when you left click to attack it will lock your character in place to you won’t run when your clicking to attack
This game is awesome gonna spend a lot of hours into it
Hypetrain riding cuck.
Another con of this I've heard is that you need a windows build newer than 1809, and a lot of people run LTSC. Just a really arbitrary thing that makes no sense to me. Game seems really good though so far; better than D3.
I think the game is looking really pretty, but still to expensive for what it deliver
Hey man, you are looking great! I have watched you for years and I could say without a doubt you’ve never looked better!
The beta has been unplayable for me, constant crashes and memory leaks. The game itself is good and reminds me a lot of D2, but the technical problems are unexcusable if it's gonna release in 3 months, i don't think they'll have time to fix the issues that appear in the beta.
Idk what youre talking about bro. Game plays smooth for me. The only issue I had was during the closed beta, the wait times were up to 2 hours to get in.
Think it's just you. Fridays are bad, but it runs smoothly out of initial launch
@@iabaca As a programmer, there is no way that memory leaks are setup dependent, it's a programming issue for sure. I don't have any FPS or freeze issues, just random ass crashes (especially before/after cutscenes).
The beta is for testing those things. It’s not un excusable at all. That’s like the whole point of a beta.
@@DocHudson420 A game 3 months from launch shouldn't be having the same type of crashes as a game/abomination that you come up with in 2 hours with Unity because you don't know how memory works.
They had what, 10 years to make the game? Why do you think these issues are gonna get fixed due to a marketing beta in 3 months?
If you chose different skills then you wouldn't feel weaker as your leveled. Hydras, Blizzard, Frozen Shield make Sorc OP and they melt everything pretty easy. Choosing fireball as your right click helps a ton too.
I feel like the option he chose at the beginning of the game of having a tier 2 world for veterans played a part in peon having a weird feeling that he was getting weaker as he got stronger. I wonder if he would have felt the same if he chose a tier 1 world
We've only experienced the beta, so any assessment to its value is still up in the air 😅 Those who don't pre-order, you get to watch morons like me play and pay for your amusement! 👍 Pour one out for us if it fails to meet expectations!
Nah fk you for pre ordering.
you can play this weekend without having to have bought the games. It's free to all with a battlenet account
@@gmee123 yup. Level 25. Finishing up the prologue. Lol
Playing with a controller helps that move and not click on mobs as you'll be using the joystick kind of like WASD. People seem to enjoy that (not to mention you get some haptic feedback sometimes).
I guess they should add WASD options, but in any case, you could bind your keyboard to act as a controller and get the same experience if you really wanted to (there's software that can do this)
How do you activate controller mode?
@@Amplifymagic It happens automatically if you have a controller connected and hit a single button (or joystick move).
So you could play like 90% of the game with a controller, while you still have your Keyboard and mouse at hand and switch to them while selling stuff at the vendor or doing stuff with menu/UI since it's simpler with a mouse.
@@ToastedSynapseGaming ok let me further look into it, I hooked up the Switch Pro Controller, the computer recognizes it and it’s fine on Steam but didn’t really work in D4.
I don’t need to manually bind every key do I?
@@Amplifymagic A friend tried it with a plane and simple Xbox controller and the game automatically switches depending on the last pressed key. The UI changes instead of 1,2,3,4 for the skills you should see ABXY as soon as anything is pressed. Then back to 1234 if you press a random key on the keyboard.
@@ToastedSynapseGaming interesting, maybe it’s much easier with an Xbox controller.
I'm enjoying the beta so far. I can't wait for more!
I re-installed and appreciated Lost Ark, this is how much i liked D4.
it's the combat system,right?
I've been a fan of the game since Diablo 1. I'm just hoping that by the release date, everything will be up to par.
It won't be. What you see in beta is what it will be. Blizzard always uses betas to stress test and never makes any last minute changes.
