Duelling = 1.07 Patch

PVP Deathmatch = "in the not too distant future".

Where is the Blizzard I used to know? They used to churn out a full retail release nearly every year. Now it takes them a year just to make a patch...

fileman374136d ago

you dont know the old blizz. Back in the days they took time to make a good game. Blizz 3 is just a product of them joining with activision...

dedicatedtogamers4136d ago (Edited 4136d ago )

Um, yes I do know the "old Blizz". I bought Warcraft II the day it came out, and I still have my Blackthorne SNES cartridge.

Want a history lesson? You seem to need one: In 1994, Blizzard launched Warcraft 1, Blackthorne, and Return of Superman. In '95, it was Warcraft II. In '96, it was WII: Dart Portal and Diablo. '97 was Lost Vikings II. '98 was Starcraft AND Brood War. 2000 was Diablo II. 2001 was DII:LoD. '02-'03 was Warcraft III and the expansion. From 2004 to 2009 it was nothing but WoW. 2010 was Starcraft II (still waiting on the expansion) and another WoW expansion. Nothing until 2012, which was Diablo III. Oh, and another WoW expansion.

So...tell me again how Blizzard used to "take their time". It seems to me like they've been slowing waaaaay down over the years.

Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.

I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.

All those games had to release without bugs.

Comebacks shouldnt be a thing in videogames. Just saying.

Diablo III - Still a Huge Draw in the Face of Diablo IV

Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.

Palitera392d ago

Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?

kevco33392d ago

Heh, yeah. There's no comparison in here! Its a commentary on how III is still very playable over a decade later.
