After 12 years of waiting Blizzard have finally released the third installment of its insanely popular Diablo series. Players must choose one of five playable classes (Wizard, Demon Hunter, Witch Doctor, Barbarian and Monk) to conquer the evil threat but mainly to find the best loot. For loot is the key component of a Diablo game and the third is no exception, although the formula is very basic, it is also very addictive. However the question remains: Does Diablo 3 live up to the franchise’s reputation and especially its twelve-year hype? Or is it just like Duke Nukem all over again….
Via Diablo’s global director of community Adam Fletcher, Blizzard is introducing new measures to improve the quality of season launches in the future. Across both Diablo 4 and the aging Diablo 3, fans of Blizzard’s games should all benefit.
If they didn't let the cellphone guy touch the 3rd one in first place, they wouldn't have to dance around like clowns trying to make money.
We've been asking for less "boring" seasons... "boring"... not "buggy"... same ol' rehashed content just a different color is not working.
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.
