    Who is playing Diablo 4? Especially this year.

    I mean, I checked it out at launch, thought it was fine, didn’t even finish the main campaign, moved on to the other million great games that came out the past few months. Is this game still relevant?

      I’m playing season two. It’s quite decent, a good game for me to decompress. TBH I played pre-season until WT4 and stopped at level 79. This season is much more streamlined and I’m currently on level 75 after 1/3 of the time played vs my pre-season char. I’ll give Last Epoch a whirl after beating all the endgame bosses.

        Fair enough. D3 took a while to click for me, too, and it only did once they turned it into basically an idle game or digital bubble wrap. D4 felt a bit more MMO-y and I wasn’t there for it, but I always figured they’d get to making it more D3-ish eventually and I could check it out again then.

        And then the best year of gaming in a decade happened and I forgot D4 even existed. But I don’t resent anybody who stuck with it. I bet I would have given it more of a go under different circumstances.

          I feel ya on the MMOishness of D4. When you’re doing an event and all of a sudden a 100 level guy comes in and destroys everything in 0.5 second it can ruin the immersion somewhat.

          Yea, I only played D4 again after finishing Starfield, BG3, AC6 (till NG++), and AW2 (definitely will play again when the NG+ dropped).
