kuroihagane: Thanks for helping me to confirm that I did the right thing not buying this thing.
The story only gets worse...
imloir: bruh, this is such a scam for 40$ holy shit
auroriasolaris: So this entire DLC feels just like random sidequest.
mancoking3062: I was honestly disappointed, we didn't even fight Mephisto (just a herald) and the whole trip was in vain
onlytheneeded412: So Neyrelle screwed up everything by leaving by herself? Got it.
dustinalexanderserina2431: RIP random boatman
Fullgrym: These are ALL cutscenes? So in the end you do not fight Mephisto? So, for those who bought the expansion, it is another $40 wasted? LOL. Are people going to fight him in the next expansion or what? And then have another where you help for example Baal, only to kill him in the expansion after that?
I'm still salty about the $70 I paid for D4, but right now I'm so glad that the disappointment I felt would save me at least 4 expansions each priced at $40.
voidox: of course Neyrelle somehow manages to come out of all the shit she did perfectly fine, is now somehow an expert on Mephisto, she's going to continue to be a main protag of the story and no one calling her out for anything she did. Sigh, this mary sue character is officially one of blizzard's worst.
gp6942: So was this whole jaunt basically for nothing
JustinHuang-m2x: It turns out that the people who bought this game were the vessel of hatred all along.
jet2135: What a stinking disgrace to Blizzard North's legacy. For the sake of all that's holy, Actiblizzard, leave this franchise in peace already
sentinalchocobo: man...this isnt diabloesqe at all. It feels like what dragonage was meant to be.
they cant make a dark gothic game?
JasonOJX: Its sad to say, for those that bought the game, Hatred is working in you
VDA19: Virgin Diablo 4 protagonist talking about feelings and struggling to beat Lesser Evils, goes to Hell for 30 minutes and has to leave because it's spooky
vs
Gigachad Diablo 3 protagonist who kills his way through Hell and Heaven, beats up Archangels and all 4 Lesser Evils 3 Prime Evils all fused up into one.
tsubame28: So, the next boss is Mephisto in Jesus look a like with sword again?? Where is Diablo? Where is Angelis Council? Tyreal?
Mardana86: Thanks.. just saved money there. What a stupid ending
ferpect911: they/them for the male character, cringing
Toelishness: Thank you for saving me the hassle. Dumb ass Neyrelle is still alive I see. Worst NPC maybe ever. Hard pass. Can't wait for PoE 2.
torshec8634: Prava did not deserve that "redemption arc" and Akarat deserved better than the Furry-born and Girlboss expert. RIP Lorath, you got screwed the hardest.
gadrielvanorion9872: the story is rly stupid isnt it
thenaberius6081: So no Diablo, No Mephisto...? still nothing?
TheNenniux: Diablo 3 Rwaper of Souls was $20 and you fought the boss.
Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred is $40 and don't fight the actual end game boss.
Blizzard thank you for ruining something beautiful!
qcop4921: Goodness, i detest Neyrelle. The writers desperately attempt to paint her in admirable and sympathic light. You could tell they try hard to overlook or distract from her screwing up everything (ended up getting people killed and us to bail her out) because of the "strong and independent female" trope
Drignock: Path of exile 2 lookin pretty good in a little over a month.
augustusoctavian-dp8yy: cinematic better then game typical blizzard
tasosfilippoy: Bad scenario
Bad story progression
Awfull dialogues
Awfull speech acting
100% NOT a Diablo game.
iMegaShadow: Dam, i got scammed, this DLC is SHIT. Finished the story in like 3 hours, skipping the boring ass long cutscenes of course
NolaGamer: So glad I didn't pre-order this. You don't even get to fight Meph. Will save my money for a far superior game like Path of Exile 2 early access.
jetman8856: So much crying and drama. Modern WoW and Diablo's writing are now indistuingishable
kevinmoy3752: huh this really feels like half a game.
pRaX85815: Blizzard North > Blizzard
dkvon: Boring story, I"ll pass again. Feels like D3 enhanced at 2024.
mushroommagic1697: I still can't believe it ended like this.
I got scammed. Never again will I buy a diablo game again. Actually a diablo themed thing. The graphic novel, Legends of the Necromancer Rathma was atrocious and dumb. This expansion is dumber.
starcrying6441: who would of guessed lilith was right about what she said before dying mhm
kokomal: It feels like the story was written by a group of 13-year-olds dabbling in fan fiction, and the forced DEI characters seem completely out of place in the Diablo universe.
theanimeboy9953: am i the only one who thinks this dlc is very underwhelming?
fraser7211: How can Blizzard waste so much potential?
- They should not have focused on Mephisto for such a long time.
- They should have kept Lilith and Inarius in most of the story and not just have them both only be in the base game. Two very significant characters and we are already done with them.
- They shouldn't be squandering the lesser and greater evils and their interactions and politicking.
What I personally wanted to see this story:
- a whirlwind tour of sanctuary where we go to each part of it and face a different evil(we have never had a Diablo game with all 7 evils and I'd love to see that)
- Have them grow the evil's character and not just be forgettable like what they did to Andariel and Duriel in the base game.
- Have the final expansion deal with the lord of TERROR and BUILD HIM UP with each expansion.
I can't believe they are dragging this story out for anything but their profits. I personally will wait until the last expansion and MAYBE buy a bundle to save.
Eat shit Blizzard!
