Diablo IV disappointment (self.diablo)

I got Diablo IV last week and played a lot over the weekend. After 40+ hours (thank you, four day weekend), I realized I wasn't enjoying myself, and was just trying desperately to justify the money spent.

I intentionality avoided news about it, hoping to enjoy finding things out for myself. I now very much regret my willful ignorance. I definitely would've passed on the game if I'd known beforehand that it was effectively an MMO. Forced multiplayer, an open world with too many activities, content balanced for groups of players, endless side quests, and cookie-cutter dungeons. But hey, it has horses! And dodging!

My disappointment is immeasurable and my week is ruined.

On the bright side, it reminded me how much I love Diablo 3. I've been playing that the last couple days to get the bad taste out of my mouth.

I have recently gotten into "Last Epoch" on steam and loving it.

Ooh, I've heard good things about that, though I've also recently heard rumors that it's been abandoned or is going a bad direction, with a cash shop open in early access. Still, I'm always happy to try new ARPGs.

Grim Dawn is a good one on Steam if you like multi-classing. It has a small, but active modding community. I believe there's a Diablo 2 total conversion mod for it.

Yes there is a cash shop now that I do disagree with to be frank but I don't see it being abandoned. I was between last epoch and grim but wanted the option to see where last epoch went in full release//maybe convince some friends to try it out with me
