The Twitch streamer Asmongold spoke in a stream about Diablo 4. He said that an important aspect of the game doesn’t concern him at all.
Who is it about?
- Asmongold is a major Twitch streamer with 3.4 million followers on his main channel and 1.1 million followers on his second channel.
- He is known for streaming numerous MMORPGs and reaction content.
- Asmongold is a member of the streaming group OTK, who are working on their own online RPG.
“I actually don’t care what the game looks like”
What do fans love and what does the streamer not care about? The visuals. Asmongold reacted in a stream to a YouTube review of Diablo 4. He interspersed his own thoughts and impressions about the beta of Diablo 4 throughout.
Shortly before the end of the video, he mentioned the look of the hack-and-slash title and made it clear how little he cares about it: “I actually don’t care what the game looks like. That’s really the truth.”
With this, Asmongold represents a view that probably contradicts that of many Diablo fans. The design of the game is an important topic in the community. They love the dark visuals of the franchise and are averse to bright colors. A gameplay video released shortly before the beta launch received a lot of criticism, as the fans did not like the visuals.
For Asmongold, none of this is important. These are all just different styles, and he also likes the look of other comparable titles like Last Epoch and Lost Ark:
“I like the way PoE looks. I like how Torchlight Infinite looks. I like the way Last Epoch looks. I like how Lost Ark looks. I don’t think one is so much better or worse than the other. It’s just a different style.”
This is what fans say about the visuals: The first phase of the open beta started on March 17, and pre-order customers were able to form an initial opinion of Diablo 4.
On social media, despite initial doubts, the dark atmosphere was mainly praised. The gameplay also received positive mentions.
On the coming Friday, March 24, 2023, non-pre-order customers will also be able to take a look at the latest installment of the popular game series. You can find all important information about the upcoming beta phase here:
