Diablo is an iconic franchise in the gaming industry. Since 1996, players have been devoting countless hours and associated loss of wrist health by clicking away at the world of Sanctuary in hopes of ridding it from The Lord of Terror. Along came an expansion, a console version, a sequel, multiplayer elements and finally last year Diablo 3. Fextralife got launch day codes for the game and quickly learned that not everything was well with the new model. Interest dropped in record time, Blizzard employees were flamed and displaced, and the game went back to being another icon removed from my desktop. Then, the console version was announced… and Fextralife knew hope! Can the PS3 version of Diablo give what the PC version could not?
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.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
