By Asmongold Reacts to Quinn’s Diablo 4 Beta Review
- Quinn praises Diablo 4’s dark look but slams the console-first UI.
- Monetization debate centers on cosmetics, battle pass power, and long-term trust.
- Viewers urged to judge D4 on its own, not just versus D2/D3/PoE.
Asmongold watches Quinn 69’s exhaustive Diablo 4 beta breakdown, weighing the streamer’s highs (art direction) against lows (interface and itemization concerns) while adding his own pragmatist takes.
Together they frame D4 as a hybrid ARPG with MMO trimmings, where player enjoyment and fair monetization matter more than franchise nostalgia.
What’s in the video
- Quinn calls the graphics and aesthetics best-in-class for ARPGs; Asmongold agrees.
- Debate over the UI: Quinn sees a console-centric layout; Asmon finds it “fine” but improvable.
- Monetization talk: cosmetics shop, paid expansions, and a battle pass with free power tracks.
- Asmon’s stance: monetization is acceptable if it doesn’t affect gameplay.
- Quinn warns about potential future “pay-to-win” pivots if revenue lags.
- Advice to judge D4 on its own design rather than constant D2/D3/PoE comparisons.
- Beta impressions used to extrapolate endgame systems and long-term replayability.
- Requests for PC-centric UX options (overlay map, clearer stat panes, on-screen resource bars).
- Itemization feedback: plus-to-skills feels good; many affixes seem generic or conditional.
- Shared hope that seasonal content justifies live-service funding without eroding in-game rewards.
Receipts
“Aesthetics and Graphics are a 10 out of 10.”
“Diablo 4 is a console game.”
“you need to cast that constant comparison brain out of your mind.”
