DO NOT BUY Diablo 4 - Very Disappointing [etznUeE9lWE]

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

recently I've been playing the brand new

Diablo 4, and as an avid fan of the Diablo

games, I knew I just had to play this

game. Unfortunately, so far it's been kind

of bland, boring, uninspired, and also

lacking in a certain type of luster. So if

you've never played a Diablo game before,

basically to explain it very simply, it's

kind of like World of Warcraft, but

instead of the camera being behind you,

the camera is now on top of you pointing

down, but you control the character

directly instead of using a mouse to point

and click and tell him where to go. And to

be honest, I'm not really a big fan of

this camera view. I think it works for RTS

strategy games or any kind of strategy

game, but for an action RPG game or any

kind of combat game, I feel like this

camera view is very restrictive. It's just

a very boring camera view because you

don't get to see the horizon of the

environment. All you see is the ground

around your character. It's just kind of

disappointing that the very restrictive

camera view limits how big the open world

actually feels. And it is a pretty big

open world, it's just a very boring,

bland, brown-looking open world compared

to Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which

recently came out, which has an amazingly

beautiful open world. Coming from Zelda:

Tears of the Kingdom and then playing

Diablo 4, it just kind of makes you think,

where is all of the color in Diablo 4?

The world just looks very dull. It's just

a very bizarre experience playing a lot of

Tears of the Kingdom and then switching to

Diablo 4. I know it's not the same

audience that the game's for, but Jesus

Christ, the game looks so barren. I think

it would have been nice if they allowed

you to switch the camera view. I don't

know how hard it would have been to code

in an extra camera view where it's behind

your character instead of just on top of

your character. I mean, there's a reason

why the GTA series went from a top-down

bird's-eye view to a 3D view with the

camera behind is because that just looks

aesthetically better. So the gameplay of

the game is pretty boring. It's very

addictive if you get addicted to kind of

grinding games where you just farm

monsters and collect currency and loot.

But the gameplay basically revolves around

spamming and mashing the same attacks and

spells over and over again, maybe 3 or 4

spells you'd be using on rotation. Maybe

it's kind of funny and entertaining in the

beginning when the game just throws a

massive mob of monsters at you and then

you use your AOE attacks and spells and

completely destroy them. That is pretty

funny, but then after doing that for like

500 times, gets pretty old and it doesn't

really feel like there's any challenge in

the game. And as someone who likes to be

mentally challenged in their video games,

I don't really find this game very

challenging. The open world mobs become

extremely easy when you reach around level

60 or 70. Once you've gotten good gear,

you can basically just steamroll anything

that the open world has to throw at you,

and it just becomes tedious and repetitive

and kind of like a chore to have to

constantly mow down these swarms of

monsters. I mean, it's pretty blatantly

obvious that the very simple and basic

combat mechanics, which involves basically

no tactics or thought, that's not really

the core hook of the game that's going to

hook players. The core hook of the game is

trying to get you addicted on getting loot

and getting more powerful weapons and more

powerful armor by playing this very

repetitive combat gameplay. As someone who

doesn't really care that much about

in-game colorful epic items and are more

focused on the gameplay, I don't really

find that this game had much to offer a

gamer such as myself. There's also

dungeons in the game with big boss

battles, but I have to these dungeons are

extremely easy. Even on the most difficult

world tiers, the bosses in these dungeons

are an absolute joke. I would say the

bosses in the dungeons have maybe 3 combat

mechanics, and all of the bosses kind of

do the same thing. Almost every single

boss fight is basically just avoid the

basic melee or spell attacks it does,

avoid the fiery AOE attacks it does, and

thirdly, sometimes it will be invulnerable

and it'll have like a shield thing,

either a structure or some kind of enemy

NPC that you have to destroy or kill to

get rid of the boss's invulnerability

shield, and then you can start attacking

the boss again. It would have been nice if

they tried to be a bit more creative or

innovative with the boss fights, but as it

is right now, I just felt kind of

disappointed with this very limited set of

boss mechanics. Next, the inventory

management in this game is extremely

frustrating. You don't really get a very

big inventory, and there's a lot of loot

and items dropping all of the time that

you can't really afford to ignore. You

really need to pick up this loot because

it really helps you in the game, and your

inventory just constantly fills up very

quickly. If you go to a dungeon, you'll

just fill up very fast, and then you have

to go back to the town to sell it or

dismantle into it and get rid of it. It's

just frustrating because you have to keep

going backwards and forwards and backwards

and forwards between the town and the area

you're trying to play in. And it would

have been better if you could just sell or

get rid of your items without having to go

back to the town. I know that would just

kind of make the town a bit pointless. I

don't really care if that breaks the

immersion of the game and the importance

of having like a home-based town you need

to go to. I just think it would be better

if they prioritize making the game

enjoyable instead of frustrating. There's

also so many different types of gems in

the game that are very important to

gameplay, and they take up so much room in

your inventory. You have to really

sacrifice your inventory space to be able

to carry a lot of gems, which you need to

switch to different build styles.

Different gems are better for different

kind of play styles, so you kind of have

to sacrifice your space in your backpack,

or you have to sacrifice the amount of

gems you're going to carry with you when

you go into dungeons and fight against

monsters. And it's just kind of

frustrating. I don't understand why in a

game that's all about collecting loads of

loot, why do they give you such a small

tiny backpack? You would think if an

adventurer was about to go into a dungeon

that's full of treasures, that he would

bring a much larger backpack. Or what

about this as an idea? Maybe have like a

donkey or a mule that you can spawn or

despawn, and that carries your stuff, and

you can just whistle for him and he

appears, and then he waits for you at the

entrance of dungeons, and then you can

just store your loot in the backpacks on

the donkey. I don't know why they're

prioritizing realism in this game instead

of just prioritizing having fun,

enjoyable gameplay without annoying

mechanics getting in the way of you having

fun. But my biggest complaint has to be

with the eShop. So as you know, this is a

Blizzard game and it's online, has servers

and updates and everything that needs to

be paid for. And not only does the game

cost an insanely expensive amount, $70 for

the base version, the deluxe version and

the premium versions are going to cost

like $100 or more. Not only is the game on

its own very expensive, in order to get

the fancy cosmetics and the cool mounts

and skin bundles, which all cost like $20

or $30, per item, which is just such a

stupidly high amount of money. I guess

people who are rich and loaded will have

no problem spending hundreds of dollars on

this game just to get all the cosmetics

and the mounts and the skins and all this

and that. But I just feel like it's very

devious and they're just trying to get as

much money as they can, which I know

they're a game company and their whole

goal is to make money, but I feel like

I've already spent so much money on the

game already and now you're gonna charge

me even more money just so I can have a

cool-looking armor set. This is just so

lame. I guess I guess it's good that you

don't actually have to buy any of this

stuff in the eShop. It doesn't really

affect your gameplay. There's no special

items or powerful items that I know of

that you can only purchase with real

money, which is good. But I just feel a

bit like I'm cheated because I don't get

access to these fancy-looking armor sets

and stuff unless I put down some actual

real money. And I've already spent a lot

of money on the game in the first place.

So the game doesn't really do anything

innovative or interesting to push the ARPG

genre into a new direction or an exciting

direction. They've played it very safe.

In making a really cool and stable and

good core game, but they haven't done

anything experimental or adventurous that

would really wow the player. I feel like

it's very bland and boring ARPG. It looks

good, it plays well, and it's great and

everything, but it's nothing special or

revolutionary. I just can't really

recommend the game as it is right now.

For the amount of money I have to pay to

play the game, I don't really feel like

it's worth $70. I would have to give this

game a disappointing 6.2 out of 10.
