Small difference though, I don't want to put words in your mouth.

D4 looks like basically the entire Eastern continent. Kehjistan is where D2's Act III occurs. Notice they are saving some space in the furthest south of the D4 map for the expac.
Tristram is on the Western continent. Act I and II of D2 take place there. After you leave Lut Gholein, you sail across the Great Sea to Kurast which was once the largest coastal city in Kehjistan.

You can never tell how serious people are but I saw someone in a chat saying you can't pet the dogs? 0/10. Most likely a joke but people are goofy so who knows.

You should have an achievement for it, I kinda wish that version of the game was still available. The PS360 version is kinda close but it gives you way better look than how it was on PC.

Barb seems much more gear dependent than the other classes in the beta, mainly because only Barb has to stand there and facetank damage in order to deal it.
I think it's easier to start with a ranged class like Sorc or Necro and use them to farm gear for your Barb as a second character, unless you just enjoy the increased challenge from the start.

Haha yes you can pet the dogs by standing in front of them and doing the hi emote. And then yes they follow you around town, I can confirm.

Map of Sanctuary at the time of Diablo III, btw:

Sanctuary
Sanctuary, otherwise known as the Mortal Realm, or the Realm of Mortals is the primary setting for the Diablo series. Sanctuary is a large world, and a harsh, dark, and unforgiving one. Its biomes range from frigid mountains to sand-swept canyons. Filled with horrific monsters, one must be...

I remember getting one, but I reinstalled D3 to look. It's not there anymore. None of the inferno related ones are.
Cheers for this!

Yes, you absolutely could pet the dogs and have them follow you around, I had all the dogs in kyovoshad following me at one point.
You can't pet the cats though, -7/10

Mr. Community
He’s flip flopped a lot and I suspect he does to bring in the clicks… barbarian sucks sorc op! No, rogue OP! No, necro OP! Barbarian rocks! D4 is amazing! D4 sucks! D4 is amazing!
It’s a schtick at this point.

I loved it. Diablo is one of my favourite series, and D3 disappointed me. The demo was amazing. I never preorder games, but I did here to get an extra demo weekend

Can anyone explain to me what Diablo is?
My first experience with the franchise was the D4 open beta...then I played about ~10 hours of Diablo 3.
It really feels like a mostly mindless (linear) treadmill where the player is fed small upgrades every minute...be it loot, levels, gold etc...Is it really this simple?
Do I basically understand what Diablo is at this point?

Yeah it's a dungeon crawler, you either are addicted to it or it's not for you. These games are like crack for some of us.

Exactly, i have a friend who doesn't like/understand it at all. But to me it's addicting.

Oh no...I get it.
I was up till 1:30am on the last night of the Diablo 4 beta thinking..."I'll just finish this dungeon. Ok, I'm almost at next level, I'll just farm till I reach it. Oh look...I'm in a new dungeon."
The problem as I see it, is that once you're off the crack...it doesn't look all that exciting from afar. Like right now...the allure of seeing numbers go up does nothing for me.

I played on PC with a wired 360 controller and it worked really well for druid and rogue. Probably how I'll play most of the time for the comfort of the experience. I've kind of got to the point that playing mouse and keyboard feels like I'm IRL working and PC + TV + controller doesn't.
---------------
I played the open beta for around 25 hrs over the weekend and it was the most I've played anything that many hours that quickly in years. I really like the MMO-lite open world stuff and running into other players in the world during events, I got that vanilla WoW vibe at times and it was really cool. It does a lot to make the world feel more alive. I like the more deliberate slower pace and the much darker atmosphere and graphics. Combat generally feels excellent.
The ability to remove the legendary aspects and affix them to other gear is pretty sick. The itemization is going to be so much more interesting than D3 I think.
I played D3 beta a ton and then played D3 many hours for 2 weeks after taking the first week off from work for the release then really fell off. Never even bought Reaper of Souls.
From what I played of D4 so far, I think the staying power will be much better.

How has your wired 360 controller survived all these years?!
This is the route I'll probably be taking as well. PC + Monitor + Xbox controller. Like you said it's more relaxing and convenient. It also lessens RSI and gives my wrist a rest.
D4 is definitely an improvement from D3. IT got boring real quick.
The MMO lite is a nice addition, it doesn't feel that empty playing by yourself.

That's basically it. The appeal comes from feeling like you are making an investment and gaining "stuff". In D3 they tried to really capitalize on it by having a real money auction house.
What I like about it is the puzzle nature of making a build. Especially with world scaling to your level, you constantly have to improve your character to not feel weak. The game keeps throwing harder and harder content at you and you have to keep adapting and eventually you get to a point where you can make an extremely powerful build which feels very satisfying. Then there's also making different classes which adds a lot of variety because you get to explore different sets of skills and the way you fight enemies also changes which keeps things interesting.
Oh that's easy, I just got it mainly for use on PC years ago and don't play games a lot in general. A couple of face buttons are getting a tiny bit sticky but I was pleased that it was instantly recognized and worked with D4 though.

Nope, not buying expansions if it doesnt have new story/act or character. Itemization should be free or in the season pass, like how they added runes etc..

D2 is on sale (https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/diablo-ii-resurrected/9nbjg075jfj5). Other than diablo, uhhhhh, idk. Children of Morta is a nice game that's similar.

Anyone else had sound issues on PS5? mobs that were way louder than others, npc voices that were extremely quiet or loud, etc..?
Also issues with texture pop in on cutscenes?

Well I might be biased since I'm a 40k fan, but I really enjoyed Warhammer 40k inquisitor martyr
