In what way is this different from Diablo III?
What are the gameplay changes and innovations?
Why would I bother playing?

Everyone gets access to beta in march, preorders only get it 1 week early.

D4 is basically what D3 originally should have been before Blizzard North closed down - a shared open world MMO ARPG but fully playable just solo also, kind of like lost ark and others of its kind, except the raids.
The artstyle is a return to form of that of D2 - gothic horror n shit like that, much more grimdark worldbuilding.

The combat, well the combat is alot similar to Diablo 3, but more refined I guess, and expanded upon. Combat was one of the best things in Diablo 3, despite everything else being shit, the combat feel and flow was solid imo.
The combat to me is far superior with clean and fluent motions and animations compared to something like Path of Exile, which looks and feels like a stuttery cluttered mess of shit whilst playing, vomit inducing.

The endgame? who knows, supposedly thers alot to do and not just "grinding rifts" like in D3.. who knows fore sure tho? time will tell.

I made a mistake with D3 where I also played their beta which let you play big part of Act 1 and it was polished and fun. Then I preordered it like an idiot and full game was crap.
Now D4 will also give us a beta of full Act 1. I am no longer falling for same trick :D

Should have gone with the third person camera. Isometric arpg's are not doing it for me any longer. The only thing that ever made this franchise unique was the immersion of the setting. I'd rather play to that than the loot drop game. Especially one that is clearly designed to be an mmo-lite with no definitive ending allowed.

Right, we all got conned and assfucked by D3, it is what it is. I am ready to give D4 a chance. Different team, different times, same company tho, who knows?
If the game is shit, then who cares? Imma just go play something else. literally wont matter. if its good, then thats great.

I'm at the point in my life, that even if act 1 is great and then rest is shit, I'd probably get 5-20 hours worth of entertainment for what? 60 euros? thats fine enough for me. I am dying, and I want one more event to quicken me once more before the coffin comes callin.

For 60$ you could probably get a prostitute to quicken you better..

Dumb shit. Really fucking dumb.
People *still* complaining about "always online" as a serious issue in 2023?

Nigga, this complaint was legit 20 years ago when nobody had fast internet and only 56k dial ups, get with the fucking times, yo

Is not an MMO-lite, is a full MMO because you are forced to be always online and interact with other people.
MMO has "massive" in the abbreviation. Fortnite is also always online, also many people on the same map, but its not an MMO. There isn't a persistent world with the same population of thousands of characters.
From what I read, its essentially matchmaking, except more dudes per match. Its not a shard/server, and its not that big.

That's completely unimportant. Items, skills, abilities, mechanics, enemies, story and basically everything in this game will be balanced and designed like it was made for a MMO, so, it is an MMO.

Is going to be the same as D3 but worse because is woke.

Good thing I'm eternally asleep. It won't wake me and it'll go away if I stop acknowledging its existence.

I cannot be more woke than Butterfly lady killing Cain, Female Diablo, Unicorn secret level and beta major demons that taunt you by voice the whole level like little bitches they are..
