Diablo IncGamers' 2009 year in review continues with the month that nearly always comes third. March!
2009's version featured the tear-jerking debut of Blizzard's official, "give us suggestions for things to fix in v1.13," thread, the arrival of the giant Orc Wolfrider statue at Blizzard HQ, some pot-stirring comments from Bill Roper regarding: D3's design, and some cool game feature debuts such as a good look at the (then) current inventory window.
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.
They've changed such a lot about D3 in 2009, all good though. it's looking to be one hell of a game.
I remember when that Redneck trademark appeared on the trademark office, and right after the news hit the web, it mysteriously disappeared. I wonder what all that was about.
Oh GOD, I can't wait for D3 to be released. I hope we won't have to see another year recap of "not released yet" before it's here!
D3 is starting to remind me of Duke Nukem... :P
Still can't believe we've got at least a year to go.
