I guess I wonder how this impacts enemy scaling. It certainly seems to impact the ability to feel like you are the lone hero saving the world. Gave the whole thing a bit of an MMO vibe. I wasn't expecting to see other player characters in my game.Events are fun and also some of the toughest content.I wandered off the MQ path and quickly wound up over my head. I also like how 'veteran' gave you enhanced rewards.

I found D3 to be trivially easy on first play through. I chose the 'veteran' difficulty option.All a bit overwhelming early on but guessing it will all make sense soon. There are a lot of mechanics, challenges, currencies, etc.The skill tree seems more D2 but with skill buybacks if you want to do a different path. The mechanics have a D3 vibe to them but the tone is way darker. It feels like they have delivered a much darker game than D3 (yeah, I know that wouldn't be too high a bar).I imagine a controller on a nice PC could deliver the same experience. I miss clicking on my PC but my guess is after a dozen or more hours, I'll never want to go back. Super fun to play on a big screen with a great controller. It feels like this was the platform this game was designed for. This is the first Diablo that I am playing on console (PS5) vs.Great atmospheric sound with headphones on. There's a sense of solidity to the world which is incredible. The game is visually and aurally stunning.Much of this may be known as I haven't read previews or anything to avoid spoilers. Yes, the queues are annoying, D3 was exactly the same, maybe worse. Some random observations after I froze and needed to get in the queue again. I was in my 20s then (I'm old)! I am no longer a hard-core gamer but am not casual either.

I'm old enough to have played Diablo since the original's PC release in 1996. **There are no story spoilers in this message but if you want absolutely NO info about some of the mechanics / features, don't read this.** Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread
