Keep an eye on the hammer and play fun and fun games to ensure that the brothers don't lose their way playing!
With the recent hot start of "Diablo 4". Some of Blizzard's controversies in China, coupled with the huge influence of the "Dark" series itself, make it inevitable that those of us who simply play games UP owners will inevitably bear the fire of online trolls. Today, Hammer I will put aside all factors that have nothing to do with the quality of the game, and analyze for you whether this "Diablo 4" priced at 500 yuan (350 cheaper in Argentina) is worth buying?

Game background
The story of Diablo 4 takes place after the events of Diablo III, and the world has fallen into chaos. The heroes of Niflam succeed in defeating the three demons of Burning Hell, but also allow the demonic souls to release endless dark energy, causing the temple to fall and the gods to leave. Against this apocalyptic backdrop, new enemies emerge to unleash an unprecedented battle of evil forces.

Game screen
Aside from the krypton gold mobile game "Immortal", "Diablo 4" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of dark themes and monster games. After all, the game benefited from Blizzard's decade-long polishing (although Blizzard's reviews are now mixed). Although the game graphics of "Diablo 4" are weakened compared to the early demo version (it has to be said that these well-known game manufacturers seem to have the habit of shrinking), the graphic style has also returned to the feeling of "Diablo 2", various X-elements can be seen everywhere (this thing can't be used in the national server to be honest), and in the current market environment (Road to Exile 2 is coming!). ), "Diablo 4" is still the most outstanding masterpiece of picture quality in dark games.
But Hammer thinks that maybe because of the beta version, the game is not very well optimized. The little hammer stutters from time to time on the big map (3060TI, 16G, CPU forgot), only entering small places such as dungeons, there has been no stuttering, I hope that when "Diablo 4" is officially released, this problem will not appear.
Stand-alone or online game?
One feature of Diablo 4 that is worth noting is that although the game is called a fully connected single-player game, it is actually more like an online game similar to Path of Exile. In the game, players can interact with other players in the main city and wild areas. Based on the current situation, the possibility of launching a pure stand-alone offline mode does not seem to be high. For players who prefer single-player games, there are flaws.
Regarding the online game elements of Diablo 4, it didn't have much impact on me personally. Frankly, I prefer to play with my friends rather than alone (maybe it's my bones lol). During the beta period, my friends and I have been discussing how to play the game, researching skill combinations, and sharing the joy of getting new gear. However, if the game doesn't have a standalone version, it may not be ideal for players who don't have internet access or just want to play alone. I hope that Blizzard will take into account the needs and feelings of this part of the players in the future!
Plot?
In terms of plot, I think Diablo 4 is doing pretty well, although it's still routine literature to some extent. The first act of the beta offers three main quests, but only one is open, while the remaining two main quests will be teleported back if the player tries to enter. If players don't know much about the plot of the Diablo series, they may not be particularly interested.
However, in terms of game CG, Blizzard has shown its excellent production prowess, worthy of being a film company in the game industry (Hammer still remembers Nova, handsome, from "Heroes of the Storm" CG). The viewing experience is excellent, and the picture texture is close to real performance. Especially the plot at the beginning of the game where the fool is seduced by Lilith and takes down the priest, brothers, go and watch it! (To be honest, Lilith can.) ）
Is it fun?
Diablo 4 uses an open-ended game setting (not all games are now), of course, it is still essentially a monster-based game. The map seems to me to be bigger, and at the same time some interactive mechanics have been added, such as moving up and down with ladders, rope climbing, space jumping, etc.
The combat feel of this game is still as good as ever, I play the mage (the mage is still a thigh, Kai Huang recommends playing him), and the three elements in the game - fire, ice, and thunder - are very good and amazing. During the battle against the bosses, the game behaves very smoothly without any frame drops or stuttering. This allows players to focus more on combat strategy and skill release, increasing the immersion of the game. The Mage's skill design is also quite rich and varied, allowing players to choose according to their preferences and combat style (fire consumption, ice feels like Gianna in Heroes of the Storm, Rayang Yongxin).
Many small dungeons have been added to the map, and defeating bosses will drop exclusive equipment entries, some of which are class-specific. This design made me feel that there was not much new except to make my hands feel tired. This kind of dungeon drop entry is definitely not as good as the item of equipment drop, but it's better than nothing. In addition, the game has some common elements such as map random events (you may get bored and too repetitive after playing a few times), map chests, and common must-have elements such as reputation, achievements, and clan (Diablo 3 also has it).
This test is only open to level 25, and the skills are not satisfied. And the skill now needs to light up part of the previous skill tree before it can move on. Regarding the playability of skill pairings, the jury is still out. Now that the World Difficulty only opens the first two difficulties, Dark Gold items will have to wait until World 3 to open, not to mention the later sets and the like, let's wait and see what may change when the official release is released.
Keep up with the new
The demo feeling of "Diablo 4" this time is that although many elements feel familiar, there is nothing wrong with it, and overall it is not bad. But there is nothing particularly eye-catching, compared to the previous game, the improvement is not significant, and there are not many novel changes.
As for prices, most single-player games have gone from $60 to $70 due to inflation, and Blizzard is no exception. The price of "Diablo 4" is more than 500 yuan (Argentina can be cheaper, more than 300), which has exceeded the psychological expectations of many domestic players. The whole process of networking, the same picture quality as free online games (of course, new era online games), coupled with the paid expenditure of follow-up passes and the inconvenience of domestic players to climb over the wall, are all key factors that domestic players need to consider when struggling with whether to buy.
Hammer feels that if you don't plan to play this game every day, or if you don't have a lot of money (the game is really expensive), or if you don't have a friend to play with, I don't think you need to buy this game. You can play Path of Exile, or Dawn of Terror, or Torchlight 2, which is a game from the Dark series. 500 yuan is really not cheap.
The above is the analysis that Little Hammer brings to you today, how "Diablo 4" is, whether it is worth buying or not, the brothers must have their own judgment. Simply put, brothers who are simply itchy, are not too familiar with this kind of game, no one plays together, don't buy it, you won't itch in a few days, hahahaha.
After all, the words of the family ~ brothers spray lightly! If you have any questions, welcome to discuss together~ Code words are not easy, I hope you like it~
