To celebrate Diablo 3’s one year anniversary, developer Blizzard has released quite an extraordinary info-graphic, exploring the past year in numbers.
The graphic reveals quite a bit of detail regarding the title’s in-game statistics and even suggests that clicking a mouse button can burn up to 0.00142 calories which totalled 4.7 billion calories burnt throughout the world of Diablo 3.
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.
14 Million Gamers have Purchased Diablo 3
That's more than COD or any Console Exclusive on any one platform this Gen. (San Andreas 20m PS2)
"buh buh but I thought PC had no Exclusives that sold well".
"Buh buh but PC Piracy"
PC Games sale very well and make a ton of cash cause of the different business model the PC uses from consoles but it's always good to see the PC go old school and just flat-out sale a mega ton of units.
Congrats to Blizzard and all the PC Gamers who bought Diablo 3
(I bought Torchlite 2 and Path of Exhile instead)
