RafaelW8: After i get married, I'm gonna hire Raxx to do a "state of your marriage" summary video every 3 months.
andyob1999: Here's a house warming gift. Thanks for all the great videos over the years.
FalafelPlease: Can't wait to hear my opinion on the expansion
mogueno: you're a good person Raxx, consistency beats anything, and I'm glad that we're sharing our lives during the same period of time.
A firm handshake.
Touchin-Grass: This man is hands down the best thing to happen to the Diablo 4 community. Thanks for all you do, brother !
landrewb: I spent $100 for an unfinished product already at launch with small improvements until now. This should actually be the 1.0 launch now and be free. Gonna be really hard to convince me to spend $40 more.
sfocelot: I think we can all agree that the most exciting thing to come from this video, was the reminder of " no hoodie" on stream.
izanagiorochi6324: I don't think you fully thought out that last statement of "if you want the game to thrive, you should buy" If we give them money, that tells them that they've done a good job and deserve a reward even though a year after release there is still no endgame in this ARPG and the supposed endgame that is coming is locked behind a paywall, has forced multiplayer even though according to their own data most people play solo, there are tons of quality of life things still missing and even though season 4 was "loot reborn" they're going back on all those changes. They have a battle pass and an endgame shop that tons of people regularly spend money on. They're not starving for money. If the vast majority of people didn't buy and pre-order the expansion, that would send them the message that they need to do more than the bare minimum they've been doing. With everyone purchasing the expansion, all it does is reward them for an incomplete game and tell them that their playerbase will support them no matter what.
PaladinSrettub: I love that even though covering D4 is your main thing on the channel and want them to succeed, that you'll give us all the facts, both positive and negative, and not coerce us into getting it. It's nice to see integrity over profits. I really appreciate that Raxx!
Kad3987: I paid for a "full game" for 90 usd with early access etc. And a minimum of 5 seasonal content throughout the year. They gave me like 2 seasons of content and some sort of finished game at the end, but "the end-game" is in the xpac. Why woud i paid more when they still owe me the basic game w endgame in it?
singed8853: I won’t buy it. I was sold a shell at release.
DoomagaGames: Youre the best Raxx. I love how youre just like...
Video starts
jasonlucia6682: I appreciate the honesty man, but I'm just gonna grab poe2 early access and sink my time into that.
adamrice5099: Not paying $40 for an alpha test. Fool me once blizzard…
Schizm1: As a solo player - I'm done with the game. Glad people like it but raids are the reason why I'm NOT playing MMOs anymore.
I'll wait for PoE2 next month
raminmueller6888: Buying Diablo 4 made me to not spend money on any Blizzard product ever again.
I remember how Adam Jackson said during your interview with him, how much experience (i think he said 20 years) he and the Diablo 4 staff have in ARPG development, yet they needed to change EVERYTHING about the game and basically copy pasta Diablo 3.
Either you die a hero, or you live long enough to release Diablo immortal.
DeaD1te: honestly, its a hard pass to buy the expansion for me, the new character/area doesnt make me want to give blizzard more money than i have already, ill wait till its on sale or something, atm, dont care, game is missing so much content for the endgame.... why pay them for failing to live up to their promises.
afmdbtrailers392: This is just to appreciate you bro. Keep up the great work.
VicJang: "If your character didn't have perma unstoppable, well you're VERY stoppable." LMAO thank you Raxx, you're the best.
13x: A lot of the negative things you listed about launch just made me think "but that's still broken!" Tons of builds still have to work around bugs, dungeons still require backtracking, horses still suck, stash space limits people playing all classes, ... We'd be complaining now if these things hadn't been been even worse at launch.
mtbarnes1: Its crazy that over a year later you STILL cant just straight out recommend Diablo 4 to anyone besides already existing players/fans.
youngwang5546: That comment about chipotle really hit close to home. Used to love eating there back when it was $8 a bowl. Now it’s 12-13 before even adding anything extra.
ajnako12: Blizzard should give steep discounts to those who bought the game at launch. Especially anyone who bought a hire tier edition
JPEaglesandKatz: Honest and valuable feedback as usual Raxx.
But for me as a solo player I feel gutted that the Dark citadel rewards and thus unbricking won't be available which is just unbelievable. I won't be forced into doing silly mechanics in D4 or forced to do party play. There is a good reason I won't anymore.. Been there, done that too much in wow with enough drama and frustration.
So $ 40 for just 1 class is a big no for me.. $20 would be more appropriate.
So 'funny' that even after all this time D2 runes are so much better than what is coming in D4... I mean, are they incapable of adapting or learning.... sjeez..
tsdbhg: So I paid to play an incomplete game. The fixes since the initial launch leading up to and including the expansion is the game we should have originally received.
This is how the gaming industry is run today and will continue to run in the foreseeable future. Very sad.
aaainxsno1: Imo this expac should be free considering how shit the game was.
TV-xv1le: The raids being locked behind group play is an L for me. I prefer to play ARPGs solo. If there is major upgrades locked behind the raids I'm out. I'm so sick of Blizzard constantly screwing over solo players.
LivenrightHalo2: I don't feel like I got the original 70$ worth. It's an ok ARPG, I can't justify another 40
Kristjan_N: Thanks Raxx! I'll be buying it some time down the road, when it's 50% off or smth. :)
tripleraze321: Well whether we should buy it is entirely subjective. Key factors that affect this are how much disposable income a person has, how much self respect they have, and the quality of Diablo 4, among other reasons. For me I’ll be waiting until it’s on sale or free. I don’t love the game enough to overcome the disrespect blizzard has had in charging $70 for a half assed beta release. Plus I will be playing a lot of poe2 soon anyway. Because of this and a few other reasons I just can’t justify buying it.
ADarkTriangle-qc1xz: Rax, watch every vid and truly appreciate all the help and info for my ARPG obsession. Here is half a chipotle burro on me
chochu4601: Diablo 4 was the last Blizzard title i bought fully blind. I'll wait this time to watch and follow content creators like raxx.
swgdz3844: I think I'll just wait poe2
MrRegulusz: Will only watch 2 reviews, one from my favorite lore master from diablo Brazil fans and the other from my favorite professional blaster for the tech details of the expac.
BassenGaming: Playing a copy paste Mythic Dungeon in Diablo 4 expansion isn't even worth $10.
No purchase.
bauman921: I hate the raids, Diablo should never require mp. I want to play Diablo not wow
thieve4782: Good video. I’m one of those guys who refuse to give blizzard anymore money and is waiting for Path or exile 2. That said I do see an audience for this game now. It’s come a long way but it’s not for me. Looking forward to your POE content Raxx.
Lurkin17: Spiritborn looks amazing. It makes me a touch sad the other classes didn't get updates to match the polish SB has, but hopefully they do in the future
Retronomicon: You know what Square Enix did when ff14 came out? It was a catastrophic mess. You know what they did to fix it? Gave a year of free time, remade the game from the ground up, then didn't charge us again for the new game they practically made. And, that is before we get other games that give us free expansions and no battle pass junk etc... So, D4 gives us a 70 dollar game or more that is broken, brushes some paint on it, hides cool things in the "Shop", spits in my face every battle pass and wants to reach into my pocket for 40 bucks? At least wine and dine me before you F me blizzard. I'll take my 40, buy lost epoch and have 10 bucks left over or buy some tabs on POE2. I will live D4 through Raxx which is enough for me. Enjoy the game whoever does, really enjoy it, it is a really pretty game I guess.
F3nryl: Hey guys, our game is out of beta.
You dont mind another 40$ right?
-70 40, if anything Blizzard is owing me 30$.
TheMadJoker87: my biggest problem with d4 and most games these days is... ITEMS
wanna know the best feeling in the world (of warcraft)? finally getting the "deathbringer's will" trinket, or the dragonwrath staff with double spells. one single item and BOOM, your dps increases 20-30%
...something to farm, something to focus on, an item so powerful that when you get it and try it for the first time you think "YES! it was worth all the effort!"
when everything is balanced, everything is mid, everything is MEH... that is blizzard's biggest failure, that's why runewords are gonna dissapoint everyone, and why people think "do i farm 5 hours for a 2% dps increase? nah, no thanks"
TJones4L: I don’t know about anyone else, but this expansion doesn’t feel worth $40 at all.
It doesn’t even feel on the same level as Reaper of Souls, and that is really disappointing as D4 was possibly my most anticipated game of all time
dallasblackburn7908: Honestly, the Runewords system is the biggest let-down of all of the announcements for the expansion
MrImpureGaming: 1000 fixes and reworks later and we finally have a D4 with the bare minimum systems to make the base of an ARPG that COULD be great.
sajmon154: for ppl that bought 100 sud edition on start, only to get totally broken and unfinished game, this Expansion should be free or cost like 10 USD max...
40 usd for this.. yeah sure. nope. as much as i wopuld like to play new expansion, im not gonna pay for it more than those 10 usd/euro.
ill wait for POE 2 in a month or so.
christopherwhitley9923: Here for Raxx not D4 :V
waterwalker9600: No SSF mode for the Raids may be the last straw, and why can't Bliz work in a "No Change" button for master working like how rerolling a stat works.
Pl4sm0: D4 launched on Early Access and took them a year to finish it
iuribogar9611: Think the problem with D4's runewords is that the runes have no solo effect. When I was a kid, runewords in D2 were almost a legend, some kind of magic that people said would happen if you combine some stones that gave you little bonuses. With D4 we have a system that you combine 2 stones that won't do anything alone, and that don't need any discovery.
