There is one game in the top 20 to be in its final week before launch. The Prototype 2 (PS3) added 7,982 pre-orders in its final week for a grand total of 78,720. The Prototype 2 (X360) added 12,974 pre-orders in its final week for a grand total of 65,742. As a reminder the Pro data is back up, which means that I am taking requests again for games outside the top 20.
The top three games have 200,000 or more pre-orders, the same as last week, and the top ten has 100,000 or more pre-orders, up from nine last week. Two games added 20,000 or more, up from one last week and four added 10,000 or more, up from three last week.
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.
Prototype 2 FTW!
Good lord that's a lot of D3 preorders
