The first 2 Diablo games were released to great fanfare and were received well by quite a bit of people. When Diablo 2′s expansion pack Lord of Destruction was released, many believed that Diablo 3 or a second expansion pack would be released soon. Little did we know that we would not see Diablo 3 until 11 years after the release of Lord of Destruction.
This new entry in the Diablo franchise brings back a lot of the same great elements from its predecessors. It features the same addicting hack and slash gameplay, the classic isometric camera angle that adds a little bit of an old school feel and a great story, on top of many other things. This game has been highly anticipated for far too long and it has led to the question on everyone’s mind — “Can it live up to the hype?” Let’s take a look at what’s HOT and what’s NOT in our review of Diablo 3.
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.
DiabloIII was a great game and I beat it twice through already. Great job Blizzard.
I'm only on act 2 and just killed maghda. It's a great game. The haters need to just go back under their bridges. It is a great sequel.
