    The problem with the Diablo community is that most of the die-hards and the vets noped out after D3. We saw how the winds were changing. D3 and D4 aren't meant for us oldies, they're designed for both obsessive grinders and casuals who like simple power fantasy games. Everything that made Diablo and Diablo II timeless classics are completely gone with the sequels. Blizzard, as with their other games don't give a shit about making good games anymore, just what's going to make as much money as unrealistically possible.

      I think it also has to do with the current times where we are used to getting everything instantly. There are some gamers that don't want to spend hours grinding for equipment and upgrades so they spend extra money to get it in a second.
      Worst part is, it's starting to get in single player games. Devil may cry 4&5 has the option to buy all upgrades before you even play the first mission and even all of the unlockables that require you to replay the game on higher difficulties. It's clearly worked well enough to to be implemented into the Resident Evil remakes.

      that statement came from "minmaxing" perspective. D2 is so fundamentally imbalanced that vita seemed to always be the best pick. that's how basically every "meta" char was skilled (you could get damage from other sources but having only 1000 - 1500 life meant that you're getting one shotted in hell if your resistances were bad)
      aside from that, every point in str gives 1%ed melee for druid, pal and assa. for barb it was 2%. amazon damage scaled with dex. for nec and sorc there wasn't a stat (energy simply increased your mana not your damage) so they had to get their damage from elsewhere
      if your gear was good enough though you could go the other way around. get vita to 1500 (or even less, maybe fill up with gcs and scs) and put the rest into str or dex. with barbs and amazons getting 350 - 400 of those 510 stat points into their damage stat, really made a difference

      Isnt that pretty meaningless ? If the only point of a stat is to " i need it to equip item" ...The good thing imo was that it was meaningless to sorc/necros but important for the fighters - i like that in a good RPG where classes feel diverse and use different stats and not like D3 - my mage is wearing a 2H Skorn axe and it casting spells with it , my Barb is doing the same ... so what is the difference ? Only important stats are CC/CD/AS and D4 feels similar in that regard. I like more specific skills/stats and not just generic number improvements. I want a build where i use my slow 2H for huge slow hits and a dagger for fast atks with a lot of crits and a wand that increases the magic dmg etc etc .

      strength gave you the ability to equip your items in the beginning of the game, but all endgame guides say to not waste skill points on it after that. If Act Man only plays the campaign it makes sense he would have this perspective, but the people who grind the game out actually have a fuller idea of what stats are useful. (For example most characters have between 60-80 points into strength, and most endgame characters have 200+ into vitality).

      @@Deqnkata
      It's not meaningless. There are stat requirements in PoE too. What this does is open up game design and build design. If you want a certain piece of gear, you have to have a certain required stat for it. So, you have to either path your skill tree for it, or find more genius ways to get those stats. This in turn also allows designers to create unique items that rewards extreme stat thresholds. This also helps that in PoE, your class does not completely stop you from playing however you want, as all it does is affect where you start in the skill tree and some style choices in your sub-class.
      Also, in regards to "slow hits". In my opinion that never works in ARPGs as game designers have never figured out how to balance that correctly. The problem with "slow hits" are proc rates and damage. If you're attacking faster, you have more chances to apply effects and trigger effects. But, if you have "slow hits, but big damage" attacks, people break it by just giving it faster attack speed, and ignore the "slow hits" entirely. There is no satisfying way to balance this.

    In regard to the "not the real game until end-game" design philosophy, I think Nioh series handles this in a much better way. Yes a lot of features are locked until you beat the game for the first time and start NG+, but your first playthrough is the most brutal and challenging one. You are not doing a chore just to reach the "real game", you are really learning the game and improving your skill. Finally beating NG feels like an accomplishment, and subsequent playthroughs become so much smoother that they are like rewards for your struggle and effort made during your first journey.

Yeah, if the story starts strong it can get weak. But there are VERY LITTLE games that have a weak story at the beginning and get better and better over time.
      So if the story is very mediocre right from the beginning, the telling is not good, the characters are boring - there is next to no chance that these points will improve.
      How does the AI act in combat? That is something you figure out quite fast.
      How is stuff like pathfinding of your units? Again, you realize how good or bad it is within the first hour.
      Is something like the inventar / skillsystem and menue clunky? Or easily navigatable?
      How is the input to your commands? Is there lag?
      Most of the elements in a computer game you encounter in the first hour and you can rate in the first hour.
      Sure, there are some elements you can't judge (e.g. replayability) - but the big majority of a computer game can be EASILY and ACCURATELY rated after very little time.

    Props for bringing D1 Belzebub into the discussion. It s an amazing mod done by a single programmer that all these "hardcore" grinders should take a look at. The only problem with this mod that i could think of is the "ignore target defense"stat on melee weapons which pretty much renders all the other weapons that don t have this stat absolute.

      I'm not a fan of Belzebub. If I wanted to play D2 I would do just that. I prefer devilutionX. Is a reverse engineered port that adds widescreen support, 60 fps (and animations), bunch of bug fixes and other quality of life changes but the gameplay aspect of the game remains intact. This imho is the best way to experience vanilla D1.

In d4 gearing is equivalent of having full bis uniques by level 35/40 in d3 and only replacing them with exactly same uniques that now say sacred and have slightly better numbers. Its not like youre even trying to solve best stats and character build, get items that enable you to do cool stuff with your build. i had bis eq at like 40 when i done first capstone dung i was fully decked out. and if you know the gearing breakpoints i had basically sacred items before my first capstone because of the wierd 624-625 reroll of stats breakpoints so i had like 5 items that were already better than sacred ones you could get.

    0:49 that person said "why do you keep calling Diablo 4 an rpg ?" Let me just type out what the game description says on the store when you're looking at it to buy it. This is word for word for what it says on PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series X/Series S, and on the battlenet launcher:
    "Diablo IV is the next-gen 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, meeting memorable characters through beautifully dark settings and a gripping story, or go rogue through an expansive End Game and shared world where players will meet in towns to trade, team up to battle World Bosses, or descend into PVP zones to test their skills against other players - no lobbies necessary - with cross-play and cross-progression on all available platforms."
    Literally says it's an RPG game right in the first sentence
    This is what it says on steam:
    "Join the fight for Sanctuary in Diablo IV, the ultimate action RPG adventure. Experience the critically acclaimed campaign and new seasonal content."
    Diablo 4's own website on the homepage says:
    "WELCOME TO HELL"
    "ACTION RPG"

    The "it gets good after an unreasonable investment of time" defense is one I also see a lot with MMOs. There's just this weird attitude in some genres that the first 100 hours or so is just part of the price you pay to get to the fun part at the end.
    I remember being confused by people who would tell me "Final Fantasy 13 actually starts getting pretty good 10-15 hours in," and at the time I couldn't imagine putting that much time into something to get to the good part.

The lighting and textures were next level, is what I'm saying; the tech aspect of it.
      Cinematics in D4 are much, much worse. So far, only the intro cutscene has great lighting and textures. The rest just use the game's graphics... so far.
      (Also, I'm the only person I play the game with that actually wants to listen to the story. Everyone else, including other usual story enjoyers, are skipping through everything but the biggest scenes. So they have no idea what's going on and I have to explain.)

    Gonna be square with you. Like the tutorial mission for Avengers, you experienced the game and all it has to offer. The higher world tiers, the rinse and repeat dungeons, the world bosses/legion events, all of it, don’t enhance the experience or give you anything more than what you’ve done.

      Hilariously the game barely got loot variety at all . Not as many suffix on item as you'd expect , not that many armor and item variations even for looks . Most of the unique are trash outfitted with very situational powers , letting people hoard them hoping that some cheese build combination will make it relevant (instead everyone aims for the same uniques for each classes) . Even the tier among items makes no sense ... the narrow gap between sacred and ancestral item is off and weird . We are mostly farming for better substats % on mostly subpar items , or hoping for another drop of the same uniques with better % .

      I havent played the game, I have heard good reviews and I have seen AM's videos, main reason why I didnt buy it was lavel scaling, I feared everything Act Man said this game would be, if leveling is uselless, what is the point of DIablo game, its a freaking joke IMO. But as Acm Man himself said, we are basically not the target audience, so wahtever. I myself do not care for multiplayer elements nor the end game. TIll this day I am not sure what endgame even mean, like in my brain, I play the game, I finished the story, thats it... But apparently now players care to grind through a story and THEN game opens, what is it even, storyless game events like its fun part featuring other players? As I said, I just dont get it. F BLIZZARD, I wont even try this game, maybe its good, but as I said, I sensed my opinion would mirror ACT MAN, good if people like the game however, but ts clearly not for me nor the Act man, people who liked single player story and leveling driven RPGs....

    Yes it was actually that bad. The quality of storytelling between diablo 2 and diablo 3 is about as massive as the quality of storytelling between starcraft 1 and starcraft 2. D2 and BW weren't like S tier games for their story or anything but at their worst they didn't get in the way and they were never jarringly cringe.

    One of my favorite Diablo content creators, MrLlamaSc, reacted to your original video and agreed with most of your points. It's kind of funny how a hardcore Diablo player and someone who plays a bunch of different video games can both feel like Diablo 4 wasn't made for them. The worst part of D4 for me is the itemization mixed with the level scaling. It's crazy that D2 is over 20 years old and has better story, itemization, skills, difficulty, and replayability

      Farm, enhance your gear, make it perfect, enjoy the way towards perfecting it with the grind and just mindlessly farm more (for a few reasons,, some even related to real life).
      For this reason I played witcher 3 once. I played it for 150 hours and massively enjoyed it, sure. But I would never play it again cause the story is told (except for a few options here and there and different endings probably that I would never see cause I still would choose the same dialogue).
