Chris Evans writes on The Reticule "I have now breached level 40 and am still mopping up chunks of Act I that I missed first time around. My ultimate aim is to reach the Paragon levels so I can see what Paragon 2.0 is all about. The scary thing? Paragon levels hadn’t even been introduced when I last played Diablo III. Now I am back though, and I can’t wait to get myself up to speed for Reaper of Souls with a new act, the Crusader class. What is perhaps even more enticing though is the new Adventure mode, Nehpalem Rifts and Bounties. Am I now starting to feel justified in putting the expansion on my list of games to look forward to this year? Most certainly."
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.
Would still like to see controller support. And that lag still sucks when playing on your own. But otherwise its much better since the patch.
Hope the 50% XP boost becomes the norm as I found that more enjoyable too.
I've fancied playing Diablo 3 for quite a while now but the retail price for the 360 version just doesn't seem to drop. Wonder why that is? :(
