Played I, II, and III. Not sure if I'm gonna spring for IV. Thoughts?
4 has been my favorite since 2. Im only in to act 3 right now but i love it.
I like the level scaling, so it doesnt matter what level you are, everything scales around you. I have one character at lvl 34 and not even in "Act 2" I have another character who was ready for Act 3 at the same level.
And unloike other diablos there isnt really an "Act" per say where yo go to a new instance. Its just a part of the story on a part of the map. You could go kill mobs there whenever.
Plus your friends can pop in at any level and do the quests your on. even main story. It scales it all properly and puts them on the same part. which is great, makes it so you dont need a new character for every friend group.
The “open world” has me intrigued as well. Thanks for the feedback!
D4 feels more like a sequel to D2 than it does to D3. The style and feel is much more in line with the older titles.
The story I think is pretty solid, and though I haven't played all the ARPGs out there, it's the best one I've seen, and it's presented well.
The open world gives you a good mix of activities between the main story quests, and there are lots of side quests that you can get side-tracked with.
It's also a really polished game overall, performs well (at least on the Series X), and they've provided a decent baseline of content for a launch. Though I can't speak to the longevity or end-game activities yet.
But overall, I'd say it's almost incomparably better at launch than D3 was. As though it was made by a different company altogether. Biggest question is how ActiBlizz handles monetization and how well they are able to improve and build upon the foundation going forward.
