It has certainly met my expectations. While I'm not super stoked about the money store, I see no reason to be threatened by it, it exists for those that buy from it and otherwise I will continue ignoring it
Story has been great so far, I'm no where near the end and my power fantasy has been well met as a primarily bone Necro.
I'm around 40lvl, just started Act 3. It's a diablo, as I wanted to see it. It lacks some qol features. And sometimes its a bit tedious (maybe it's just about me getting older).
I played barb and necro on beta. Now my main is rogue and it's not an easy point'n'click. I want more skill buttons (at least 5th for ultimate), but it's interesting to test different builds.
So, I'm totally happy with this diablo. Imo, it's better than diablo 3 in many aspects. But a little boring visually.
I agree with the visuals, the game IS beautiful in its own way, but the muddled browns and greys make every zone kinda look the same across the continent.
Yeah. 3rd had more various and visually pleasing locations. I really want domething like jungles or the heaven. Didn't spoiled it to myself, maybe they are latter in game. But I doubt.
Yes, I know Diablo 3 got a TON of complaints about the art direction but honestly my problem with it was always more about the World of Warcraft-style blocky architecture etc. rather than the colors. I always liked rather colorful games since they really make each area feel different and new, which is great when you're playing in Adventure Mode and like to switch things up.
