Diablo and Diablo II creative director Stieg Hedlund has admitted that the direction Blizzard took with Diablo III wasn't what he would have done.
When asked, "What did you think of Diablo III?", Hedlund stated, "It’s hard to separate personal feelings about something like that from how the game was perceived. I think the audience really didn’t react to it very well. A lot of the changes were things that they perceived as negative."
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.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?
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.
hindsight is 20/20
Ya don't say.
I have to admit I was disappointed with 3. :(
From what I'm noticing despite it's critical success in sales, no one seems to be happy with the final product, gamers, critics, and even the developers of the game. Really questionable as to what went wrong here.
I agree. Diablo 3 wasnt the route I would've liked to see them take, either.
As far as the PS4 goes, Blizzard should've ported WoW to the PS4. It has the horsepower to do it, dont gimme that BS. The specifications of the PS4 can run ANY MMO. Decently.
You would've had more success and made more money if you would've just put WoW on PS4. Idgaf about Diablo 3. Come out guns blazin, with your cash cows...or gtfo Blizzard.
