It wasn’t to show off the inevitable expansion PC gamers are waiting for, though. Instead, the award-winning company set up shop in Sony and Activision’s booths and invited PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to come over and see why Diablo is one of the most popular franchises in PC gaming."
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
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.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
This was beautifully done. I was glad to see the blizzard reworked everything from the ground up to work with the console.
I wasn't motivated to play on PC, so I'm not dying to get this on console either.
