I had such hopium for diablo 4, but they just made the game worse with every patch. It was decently fun when it launched, but they introduced more tedium into everything each patch. Plus when the new season started and you had to do everything over again, it killed my enjoyment of the game
Honestly from someone who has a backlog of hundreds of games, this is probably a plus. Too many games nowadays have filler that don’t add to the enjoyment of the game. Sometimes I might wish a game was longer, but longer in the areas I found enjoyable, not endless fetch quests
Their games often don’t work as well in multiplayer, at least not with steam users where the majority of my friends have their games. Along with this, it’s a pain getting steam workshop mods working
Their bundles kinda suck without sites like Fanatical or Humble offering gog codes
That said, I do buy from them when it’s an older game like heroes of might and magic (goes back to the site’s roots as Good Old Games I guess). Or when it’s a single player experience without a lot of mod support, like Jrpgs
I was with you until you said diablo 3 had one of the most compelling stories. I don’t think diablo games in general are good at storytelling. But I do agree with you that the d4 story kinda sucked
