Are you crying in the dark, waiting for Hell to erupt once again? The wait has been long and hard, with many traps along the way. With all those leaked release dates, a few April Fool’s and far too many times hearing “Soon™” from our friends at Activision-Blizzard, your weary soul may have broken. Fear not, because unlike all those crazy Mayan calendar nutjobs, the apocalypse will be soon, but it will be totally online, hidden in dark rooms with glaring screens, the sounds of whirring fans almost lost behind the frenetic sounds of mouse clicks.
Even if the end of the earth occurred, very few of us would notice, as long as our internet connections stay undisturbed. We would survive the apocalypse, fuelled by the need to grind, to kill, maim and destroy our way to become the strongest and fastest. We are survivors. We survived a decade of torment, and in the interim, we have prepared.
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.
Nah I have completely given up on DIII.
It's being released at least 3 years too late, the graphics are totally meh and the gameplay is TBH behind the times.
I am in the DIII beta, I was a DII player for years. DIII is too little too late.
Hell all Blizzard has done is trash the product for the last 6 months, why would anyone buy it is beyond me.
