Howdy folks. Looking at getting the game in a week or two when I am not broke af and get paid at this new job.

Been playing Diablo 2 Remaster and some POE for a few days and just curious how you guys think they compare to D4 currently? Is running a two handed sword necro any fun? And how is visual gear progression, is it mainly locked behind MTX?

I've played some og D2 back in the day and played quite a lot of FATE as a kid and teenager, and quite a lot Grim Dawn as well a few years ago. Had the itch to get back to this genre again and after playing a a bit D2:R and POE I think I'll have the itch for a while aha.

Thanks for any input you guys might have

A thing to consider with d4 is the maturity of the endgame. A lot of live service games take a while to iron out the endgame experience. D3 only stabilized around RoS a few years in.
Currently d4 has a good campaign and a decent mid game. Late/end game right now is a drag. It doesn't mean it's a bad game, just that blizzblizz need to analyze their telemetry and work on the game systems to give a better feeling for the 70-100 grind.

Edit: forgot to say that I do think currently the game is worth it, I had a blast playing it before I hit the endgame drag. But obviously everyone's preferences and priorities are different. At it's current state I think it's a 70 hour game, not a 1000 hour game. We'll see how blizzard does with each season!
