The Twitch streamer Asmongold has a kind of love-hate relationship with Blizzard’s games. However, after a frustrating experience, he has finally had enough of Diablo 4.
What is the current state of Diablo 4? After a strong release, the start of Season 1 has noticeably issues for Blizzard’s ARPG. Players criticize that nerfs take away their enjoyment of the game. Even the devs have apologized and promised that this will never happen again.
The Twitch streamer had already announced in advance that he did not want to play any more seasons after Season 1. Now it seems that the end might come even sooner.
Asmongold fails against elite enemies, gives up
What bothers the Twitch streamer? A clip shows Asmongold’s attempts to defeat an elite enemy in Diablo 4. However, this enemy takes the Twitch streamer down every time.
In the first attempt, where Asmongold is at a significant distance from the mob in question and unexpectedly gets hit with the killing blow, he comments with a dry “okay”.
Even in the second attempt, the Twitch streamer hardly manages to even get close to the elite enemy before his character meets its end again. The 32-year-old is just discussing his strategy when he gets one-shotted. Asmongold takes it with a hint of humor.
In the third attempt, which ends in another one-shot, the Twitch streamer loses his laughter. Fortunately, however, a culprit is quickly found – and it’s not Asmongold’s gaming skills: “These mechanics are absolutely terrible, they are garbage.”
Diablo 4 is ‘frustrating’
Is he really giving up for good now? It is probably still too early to say that with absolute certainty. However, the fact is that since the clip originated on the night of July 24, 2023, he has not shown Diablo 4 on stream anymore.
In his stream on July 25, the content creator switched to the MMORPG Black Desert Online, which is currently experiencing rapid growth after a change.
In response to a viewer who accused Asmongold of giving up, the streamer justified himself: “Do you want me to just sit here and play a game that’s simply bad? Why should I do that? You want me to sit here and get angry because I’m playing a game that is frustrating and not fun.”
Other viewers sided with the 32-year-old and criticized Blizzard:
Imagine if another developer fails to implement a functioning resistance system into a released game and manipulates players by postponing fixes to later seasons as if that were acceptable.
Chat comment
Asmongold agreed with the viewer’s comments with a simple “Yep” and then explained: “I’m not playing anymore, I’m done.” It remains to be seen whether the Twitch streamer will change his mind and possibly check in again during the later seasons.
