I loved D2 and yes D3. But 4... I've tried to play it twice and gave up. It is just such a giant expanse of soul sucking nothing that I've not been able to find any "fun" in the game.

The intro was cool. When I played it I thought "nice, they're going back to Diablo 1's atmosphere". Then the rest of the game happened.

Total opposite experience here. I played it and immediately thought "god fucking damnit they stuck with all the bullshit from 3." To me the art style still looks like cartoony WoW style garbage and not the gritty dark vibe I want, like Diablo 1, 2 and Path of Exile have. The gameplay was completely underwhelming and felt like just repeating old stuff I had already done before. Didn't even finish the tutorial completely because I hated everything about it.
