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 bought it without properly waiting like I usually do, and I really hate that it's an MMO. I don't like events and all the stuff that comes with that. But I have found I still like grinding away on my own. I even have tried to join several clans but I either get an error telling me too many applications are outstanding or I just never hear anything. All I'm all, I'm ok with it, just wish it had an offline mode.
