Would yall ever consider doing an "After you Buy"? Like where yall go over older games in retrospect and how they hold up in today's gaming space? I know yall have something kinda similar yall do every once in awhile, but putting them in a short, cohesive format like Before you Buy would be dope!

It's refreshing to see a game mechanically working correctly from launch. It's not something we see very often, these days.

Its a rare feeling these days to have a game that gets you excited throughout the day knowing you will play it again later. Love it

[KarlRock]

Never played a Diablo game. It looks like it’s time for me to try!

I literally always come to you before I buy any game I’ve ever bought. You are unbiased and you give fair reviews of these games. And your reviews are always accurate. Once I start playing, not all heroes wear capes! Some have YouTube channels!

Something people overlook is that in Diablo 4, level descrepencies no longer plague the experience when playing with friends in a party. Everything is scaled to each individual member, so your lower level friends no longer get one shot for trying to quest with you.

As an old school diablo player and a long time blizzard fan this is the first game blizz has dropped in a while that felt like a blizzard game for me, i've beaten the campaign and moved on to leveling so i can increase my world tier and the story was great, and honestly if i solely played for the campaign it would've been good enough, the story was great and you can definitely see the expansion coming from the ending.

Just hit level 45, loving every minute of it. Mind you this is my first Diablo game

Later games in franchises are hard to pull off sometimes. Change too much and people complain. Don’t change much and people complain.

I think they hit the sweet spot and I’m in love.

This has been the most enjoyable Diablo experience for me. Back when I first played Diablo I I was pretty young but absolutely loved it. Diablo 4 has brought back that joy factor that I felt 3 was missing (at least for me).
Big call out, it finally feels like you can create a powerful set of gear that is customized to the skills you actually want to play with. Lots of options. 3 I felt would pigeon hole you into specific sets if you wanted to do anything with the higher tier content.

I’ve played Diablo since the original, one of my favorite series of games. This one I’m enjoying Immensely.

Who else remembers when maps would change in each d2 server and everyone waited in the town for the magic finding sorc to TP us all straight to Baal. Being able to make a public server and name the server with exactly what everyone was going to be doing was awesome. with nostalgia out of the way, D4 is impressive and I highly recommend it. Also, i hope there is a secret level in D4 that hasnt been found yet, like the Hell Bovine in Tristam.

My favorites so far are the Rogue and Druid. My wife got her necromancer to Level 29 then decided to start as over a Rogue yesterday and just hit level 18. Tons of fun!!!! 9/10 for me.

As a 34 year old who started on the first game I found this game pretty immediately compelling and have been having a lot of fun

I've never really been too big on Diablo and I'm not entirely sure why. This game really caught my eye with how stunning it looks and, despite some of the cosmetic microtransactions I've heard about, I've been really considering picking this one up!

[xbobx]

Never played any Diablo before. Got caught up in the hype and decided to try this one. EXTREMELY glad I did. Can’t put it down, satisfying combat and awesome world and lore. If you see my Druid Falroth, say hello.

Ive been playing Diablo since i was a child. This game is brilliant and I have no desire to think about the amount of hours I'm going to dump into this. Poison CC Druid has been going hard for me going into tier 3.

[galexymdh]

was addicted to diablo 3 my freshman year in high school lol .

now 25 and honestly this one blows 3 out of the water!!

the mmo aspect blends in so perfect. especially when you're out in the middle of nowhere by yourself, or so you think, then someone randomly comes by, helps, says greeting, then goodbye. 

it all adds to the depth and immersion so I'm LOVING diablo 4, possibly now my all time favorite.

Just me casually watching Before You I buy.

barb levelling is hard but it gets a lot better with gear and skills around level 33. if you get the area challenges you can pick up extra skill points too
