Mikael Von Stroot for Fully 'Avin It writes: Sometimes it’s nice to step out of your comfort level when it comes to gaming. There are always certain genres that you never imagine yourself playing for one reason or another but that time that you do take a risk on a game that you might not always think is to your taste you can be pleasantly surprised. I tried the Diablo 3 demo back when it was released for the last generation of consoles and I really didn’t like it at all. As soon as I saw all the different stats flying about it instantly turned me off even though the controls were a lot better than I thought they would be considering it’s something that had come over from the PC.
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.
Diablo also uses Dualshock3? My god.
Diablo just feels like that weird corner of the gaming world that I don't understand. I can sympathize with this.
