July didn't offer any new previews or interviews, but back in those pre-twitter/FaceBook days Bashiok kept very busy in the forums, and he shared a lot of info in July. Most of his posts do not contain "new" info, from the perspective of hardcore fans, but he usually explains or elaborates on issues with the benefit of his knowledge of the whole game; not just the little bits fans have so far been permitted to see.
Since there were so many good news/content updates in July, this month's summary runs long.
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.
That statue is well creepy. A lot better than the concept art in my opinion.
That unburied sculpture was amazing. The details on it; the guy may as well be a professional.
July must have been the best month bar the BlizzCon month!
July was a good month, it seems :)
