The Barbarian sees, and the Barbarian smashes. The Witch Doctor sees, and usually let's something else do his dirty work. The two character classes shown off during today's announcement of Diablo III (unveiled during the opening ceremonies for the 2008 Blizzard Invitational in Paris) are a mixture of old and new, and representative of the formula the Blizzard development team seems to be aiming for with the latest installment in its blockbuster action game series.
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.
How many diablo 3 storys do we need,this is like the 20th one today.
Well it's a blizzard game and it's diablo . It's a major announcement for a major game from a major editor .
If less deserving titles like GTA4 had their field day all year long and especially at their releases , it's obvious that blizzard stuff like Starcraft 2 and diablo 3 would get theirs .
the more the merrier. i cant read enough about this sh!t. it has been 8 years coming, leave it be.
keep every single scrap of info comin people. i crave more.
totally agree, this is big! this isnt another sequel everyone saw coming a mile away its taken everyone by surprise- hence global excitement! dont worry im sure the forum will be back to sony and Microsoft bashing in no time...
@close second
It blew me away personally . It proved that 3d isometric isnt dead , and not every damn game needs to be first person and "fps immersive" .
Something the guys over hellgate forgot , and something Bethesda try to forget with their fallout 3 .
It's dynamic , fast paced , with a lot of details . It isnt the most beautiful game of the world , like like diablo 1 and 2 never were , but it's oozing many layers of details and attention to it ... tons more than most .
Diablo 3 , Starcraft 2 , and in completely different genres and origines , Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm , Zelda wind waker and Okami are the first and single current and futures games that makes me feel that finally we no longer need 2 graphics after ... that we can finally manage the same level of details in 3d ... whatever the choice of 3d representation . That such a game manage to look "so 2d" without blocky pixellised , blurry , badly animated 3d , is art already .
