D3 story telling was a PG13 joke.. killing Cain by butterfly fairy, female Diablo, all those silly dialogues.. i almost chew on my keyboard playing it.. that stupid hard-try for epicness of everyting.. completely missed the point..
Gore, Gothic, Grim, Dark, Isolation.. that was trademark atmosphere of Diablo I+II..

Though despite what others commented here that they want a rollback to Diablo 2… I completely disagree… How about we expect something new, unseen and not played before Diablo… How about we leave aside our frustration about what others say and het together and hope for something new 😀

How can you possibly make comparisons between D2 and D3; they are totally different games, and the numbers you mention like sales, are completely non-reflective of the general consensus of the quality of those games.

Sure, D3 sold like hot cakes, but player retention is an absolute joke. I, like many, simply bought the game based off of our experiences with D2 and LoD…D3 was an absolute let down, and a pathetic attempt at a Diablo franchise game. The only relevance D3 holds to D1, D2, and LoD is simply in that it shares a similar name. The game was devoid of anything that made it a true Diablo game.

I hate to say it, but there is a connection being missed between Diablo 4, and how it will hopefully relate to the previous games. Initial Diablo 1 and 2 fans are hoping that 4 will completely undo all that D3 was, and hark back to its original roots, while those new to the series, who have only played D3, will likely be indifferent as to what’s to come.

D4 will be the game that makes or breaks Blizzard for true Diablo fans – those who see D3 as a complete failure to the franchise.

I feel this article doesn’t quite grasp the true heart beat of Diablo fans; we’re not simply looking for the next iteration of the Diablo franchise, we’re looking for the franchise to wipe away the horrible mistakes of D3, and hark back to the original 2 games that truly made this franchise what it is…that led to the absolute monstrous sales of D3 when it was initially released…that led to the absolute outcry to the garbage that is D3, and the incredible disappointment with the Switch porting vs. the expected announcement of D4, sans everything D3.
