captain-obvious4806d ago

unfortunately
i never played a Diablo game
but im sure having my eyes on this one

can someone please tell me whats this game about ??
all i know that it looks like DotA and it got classes and heros

Perjoss4806d ago

Well to put it simply, Diablo I, II and III are pretty much strategy view (think command & conquer or halo wars) and you control 1 hero, hacking your way through dungeons as well as outdoor zones. pretty much all monsters drop loot in the form of cash, weapons and armor which you can wear or sell. Occasionally you will encounter bosses that drop even better loot.

XP is gained from killing and when you level up you can spend talent points to acquire special abilities.

Not sure about the first one, but D2 and D3 can be played online with other people in coop or player vs player modes.

Since the first diablo there have been many games very similar that reviewers have decided to call diablo clones. Some of these include Titan Quest, Torchlight and Borderlands, although Borderlands was first person, the same kind of loot system is present.

captain-obvious4806d ago

nice
ok so
is it like each level gets played on its on ?
or is it like there is a story line and levels follow up one after another ??

Daver4806d ago

@Perjoss

yes diablo 1 had online gaming

@captain-obvious

You can do whatever you want, you can do some quests or you can follow the story or you can go try to find better loot for yourself or to trade them after with other people

TheIneffableBob4806d ago

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead21d ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

peppeaccardo21d ago

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!

rlow121d ago

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.

PRIMORDUS21d ago

Not enough drain them for more, fuck Blizzard POS company.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.

kythlyn43d ago

Microsoft needs to be guiding Blizzard to be what it USED to be, not allowing it to continue to be the greedy bastardization of itself that it has become.

XiNatsuDragnel44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.

Rynxie43d ago

They will never be old blizzard. Most of all the OG's left from developers to those on the top (even some decision making folks left).

Vits44d ago

Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.

ApocalypseShadow44d ago

I was about to say this. How can they be blizzard when they're no longer blizzard from yesteryear?

blacktiger44d ago

Rare was the thing I lost heart

victorMaje43d ago

Exactly. Blizzard hasn’t been Blizzard for a long time.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Knightofelemia44d ago

Blizzard is not the same Blizzard like it use to be.

PassNextquestion44d ago

Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...

Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.

thesoftware73043d ago

Wow, PassNextquestion,

You fully understand what that saying means, unlike some people on here who just have to say negative garbage talk.

When someone says, "Just let *blank* be *blank*, "they are just letting them operate how they operate.

It's pretty much how Sony "let Bungie be Bungie."

This comment section is full of outright haters, but you have to "let N4G be N4G"

GamerRN43d ago

This site leans so heavily in one direction...

BISHOP-BRASIL43d ago

I don't think people commenting are necessarily blaming MS for anything here, this is just collective longing for what Blizzard/Vivendi was before Activision's meddling.
