Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • <br>The improvements brought by ray tracing are barely noticeable in some scenarios.<br>
  • <br>The open world is not as dynamic as one could have hoped with events getting repetitive quickly.
  • Diablo IV comparison videos were shared online highlighting the differences ray tracing brings to the game.
  • Diablo IV looks awesome and sounds great, but it sticks a little bit too closely to the rulebook which works against it in some areas.
  • Ray tracing has a big hit on performance for both RTX 4080 and 409 GPUs, so there is no real reason to turn it on except to look at it for a few minutes.
  • The Enhanced Visual mode may not be very popular as Diablo IV targets 30 frames per second with ray tracing on consoles.

Deceptions

60%

Examples:

  • All new heroes will be immediately unlocked when they launch in Season 10. However, this is not entirely true as players still need to complete the first-time user experience to unlock heroes.
  • The article claims that Operation: Day Zero begins on March 17th. However, it actually started on March 22nd.
