Turns out the game is always-online
Just like the game before it. Which also had tacky micro-transactions.
I’ll let you guess what Diablo 5 will be like.

I love this sort of thing! I experienced the reverse lately; I downloaded Diablo 4, closed the blinds, and got drawn into the intro cinematic. Genuinely awesome, moody, atmospheric. I was IN, so ready to play some dark and brooding spooky shit! The cinematic ends…
DLC! BUY OUR COSMETICS! HERE’S A BAJILLION DIABLO CREDIT$$! totally killed the mood. Turns out the game is always-online, even when playing solo, and I was experiencing laggy movement so I just uninstalled. Left a huge bad taste in my mouth.

Diablo 3 isn’t always online. 🤨

The only modes you have to be connected to the internet to play are the multiplayer and seasonal shit. The single player campaign is entirely offline in the normal, default mode.

Wait, was it? :o I played that for a few hours and don’t remember experiencing any lag! It was a few years ago mind 😂

First diablo game I played was 3 years ago, and I thought it was fine. Booted it up for a couple hours then never again
Currently playing through diablo 2, and holy moly is it good
