TQ author writes: Got a chance to check the Diablo III today, and despite my gripes with these types of games, my experience here was actually somewhat enjoyable. The demo itself is around 1.28 GB or so, and is currently available for download on Xbox Live. So what did I think of it? Well, despite being repetitive in nature, there are plenty of features here that will keep fans of the series coming back for more. Let’s take a moment to go over the highs and low of my experience with this one, shall we?
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.
About how long does it take to beat the single player campaign in diablo3?
I played the demo & it's pretty large,it took me 2hrs to finish it & I wanted to play more,went out to Gamestop & purchased it,it's really fun,you can carry your earnings & levels from the demo to the full game.
Sux you can't buy it on the Xbox store. Either have to get it on the Playstation store or drive my behind to the store to pick up the Xbox version
