I found that DW4 was plagued with glaring fundamental gameplay problems.
First and foremost, the HP of enemy peons is increased greatly over DW2/3/5. They also do less damage to you. This slows the game down TREMENDOUSLY, and makes battles much more tedious. DW3 and 5 are fast and furious, where you quickly slaughter through enemy ranks but you can also quickly get killed yourself. For me the slower, less exciting pace of DW4was a major turnoff.
Additionally, DW4 has that ridiculous auto-targeting "feature." Good god, is that ever annoying and completely unnecessary. It makes targeting an officer surrounded by scores of peons much more difficult and tedious than it needs to be. Screw strategically picking targets, just swing aimlessly and hope you hit something! Play DW5 after playing 4 and you will wonder how you ever lived with it.
I also hated the weapon level up system, though I know some people actually preferred it. I think being able to find weapons with random stats more exciting than tediously and gradually leveling them up with no possible deviations.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
