VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Season 23 of Diablo III has been in full swing since April; those of us who stubbornly refuse to leave Sanctuary have had our hands full optimizing the newly improved companions and documenting the changes made to Firebird's Finery. And as I watch 'mom' Whirlwind her way towards avenging her fallen foremother and recently departed sister (it's been a rough season), I can't help but feel the need to tell the tale of a particular grudge I once held for far too long.
This has nothing to do with the departure of Blizzard North or the infamous Auction House, but rather a specific character class: the Witch Doctor. What I once viewed as an unwarranted, unnecessary addition to the series has quietly become one of my favorite parts about it."
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.
Diablo 3 feels like a cellphone game. But when I do play it, I go all in with the Witch Doctor.
