OnlySP: About a week ago, a friend asked whether I was interested in trying Diablo III again, as apparently they had made a great deal of changes and he wanted to see if it was in a playable state yet. After I stopped laughing I said sure, why not, even though I fully expected to be playing the game for less time than it would take to actually download it. A week later and pretty much all I have been playing is Diablo III. What is this devilish sorcery, and what happened?
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.
Started playing it last night. I'm really impressed at the changes! Feels like a much more solid game. And now with Australian servers it plays faster and better.
Loot 2.0 is awesome - you get loot incredibly frequently though, almost too frequently.
Diablo 3 will never be decent they killed the series with 3 in my eyes.
Path of exile is a much better game and its free lol.
