Am I allowed to say Diablo IV? I really like Diablo IV

No, sorry.

Please leave.

I kid! Love what ever game makes you happy!

What do you like about it? I'm genuinely curious. I'm happy you're enjoying it, I wish I could too, but somehow it just bores me.

The combat is really satisfying! People keep telling me I should prefer doing Baal runs over and over in Diablo 2 but I just can’t relate to that. Yeah, the game gets boring around level 70, but it’s fun up until that point, plus I am only on my third character because I’ve done once each season. I know there’s a mentality out there that a Diablo game is a failure unless it’s the only game you ever want to play for the rest of your life, (which, btw, I don’t even feel that about Diablo 2), but it’s ok to take breaks and play different games and come back to a game when it’s updated. I guess whatever people think Diablo 4 “should” be isn’t the game for me.

I think I've just been irreversibly damaged by Path of Exile's fast gameplay, D4's combat felt pretty tedious to me in comparison. Or maybe I've just had the wrong builds so far. I've been meaning to give it another shot but there have been so many other good games recently so I guess it'll have to wait.

Yeah I don't get that either. I have to skip leagues (seasons) in Path of Exile both because I wouldn't have enough time to play other games if I didn't and also because I tend to play it so much that I get tired of it and need a break afterwards.
