It’s very rare for a company like Blizzard to honestly admit that their game wasn’t as good as they expected it to be. Blizzard feels that they have failed to engage players during the end-game hours of Diablo III.
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.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?
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.
Um, duh! It's called "expansion packs". Blizzard has always done it this way.
It's called this game sucks balls.
Even with its faults its easily one of the best and most addicting games this year.
this game is not worth the 12 years of wait.
Blizzard: We're going to come out with more content for Diablo3.
Gamer: Um ok.
Blizzard: You'll have to be online to play the expansion pack.
Gamer: I'm ok with that.
Blizzard: We've also decided to forgo store retail.
Gamer: That's coo...WHAT!!!
Blizzard: It's better this way.
