I might want to buy it one day (maybe once the price drops). I liked Diablo 3 for situations when you come home and just feel like slaying thousands of monsters – you know those days. I had some trouble getting the gearset right, but waddled through that somehow. So, questions:

  • Is Diablo 4 playable on PS5? (In terms of a well done console port)
  • Are the game mechanics more complicated than in the previous version? (That might break my neck)

Bonus question:

  • It’s not as terrible as Diablo Immortal, right? ;)

    My experience on PS5 with my wife has been beyond exceptional. Best local coop I have seen in a terribly long time, basically since the end of that bygone era.

      Ah, local coop is something I completely forgot about, good point. Currently I have only one controller though, I play alone most of the time and can charge it while playing, so there was no real need for a 2nd one yet. Hmmm! 🤔

    I haven’t tried it on any platform, because I don’t support ActiBlizz games.

    -I’m currently playing on PS5 and I love it. I have had zero bugs. -I don’t find it very complicated, but it is more so than the previous entries. -It’s easily the best the series has been in 20 years.

      as somebody consdering buying a steamdeck, have you tried emulation at all? I’ve been using a RG35XX atm but it’s quite low power and as a result can only really handle GBA/SNES games - I’d love to play some Wii and DS games on the go.

    1. I am currently playing it on PS5 and it plays great (like D3).
    2. Slightly more options, larger skill tree and of course a Store. You will have no problem as a D3 vet.
    3. TBD … (sorry, I am very bored with it).

    I played the beta on PS5. Gameplay is pretty solid, and it’s somehow challenging at certain bosses.

    My feeling was that game doesn’t feel like Diablo but rather than a well made rpg/hackNslash game. It’s a good game, but not Diablo good.

    Maybe it’s because I got cold on Blizzard for thousands of reasons.

      RPG/HackNSlash, haha, that’s actually how I felt with Diablo 3 already. But I didn’t play it „professionally“ at all. For me, it was just a bit darker and more complicated version of Torchlight, tbh.

      Okay, so it seems safe to buy. It’s on the watchlist now. Thanks!

        I love Diablo as a series, but honestly I don’t think it is worth $70 if it’s $45 to 50 or less I would recommend picking it up and I spent $100 on the ultimate edition. I am enjoying it myself, but I love arpgs and hack and slash games

          Yeah, the price is pretty high. Considering the massive amount of playtime I can dump into it, I think it’s okay to pay some cash, but 70 € is too much for now. I will wait for a discount, that usually takes a few months only.

    I play on both PC and PS5.

    Some builds are more annoying than others with a controller and the “helpful” targeting assist that seems to make me want to throw the controller at least as often as not.

    BUT it’s nice to be able to chill on my couch when I feel like it, especially if I’m just mindlessly running around completing map or Lilith statues or something. It’s totally playable. Mechanics are more complicated than D3, but in a good way.
