Diablo 4: Anyone playing? - eviltoast

So I’m a huge Diablo fan. Played 1-3 religiously (no pun intended). I had intended on getting the fourth when it came out but a couple people told me they were a little unhappy with the initial release.

I remember the same thing happened with D3 when it was released but after a few patches it really turned into a great game IMO.

I was just wondering how the current play was on the PS5? What’s everyone’s take on it currently?

    It plays great on ps5, and a lot of the initial controversy around micro transactions was wrong, you’re not forced to buy them and it’s not in your face or pay to play.

    Personally, I found the voice acting and cut scenes poorly done, so my wife and I got bored of the game quickly instead of getting into the story like we did in Diablo 3.

    The reviews online are largely bandwagoning about micro transactions, so take them with a grain of salt. There’s plenty of cool looking gear in the base game.

      I didn’t even know there were micro transactions for the first 3 months lol. That’s how prevalent they are. It’s true that it’s season pass focused but most games are now. Battlepass gets you cosmetics that just allow customization. Agree that the reviews online seem to have been copy pasted from the first person outraged at micro transactions they never needed to use. 😁
