Take a brief look at the 2018 earnings below. See a pattern here? All of these games, including those of Activision, and Candy Crush, are always bringing in constant revenue.
Customizable dungeons, crafted areas, missions, even realms reserved specifically for the endgame would give players something to do when they want to grind after the story is over. Gamers like having a reason to log on after the credits roll and giving them more to do in the endgame is the way to do
However, this didn't work for everyone, and plenty of fans would prefer Diablo to maintain its dark, gothic roots and gloomy palette. It's easy to see why, as well: Diablo 2 in particular is distinct among its peers, and it's still a game with a tone that rings true today. Moving back towards this, and away from a change of pace that some felt was too close to Warcraft for comfort, could really make Diablo 4 a big hit with f
It would be interesting to see that fleshed out more heavily in Diablo 4 . Competitive matches between teams, tighter 2 vs 2 matches, tag teams, even some creative game modes. Players enjoy testing their mettle against each other and having that accounted for in Diablo 4 would give players a reason to gr
Years later and Minecraft is still a powerhouse when it comes to co-operative gaming. Personally, I haven’t delved into the crazy depths that many players have on PC, but my own Minecraft experience is enough to recommend
Having known little about the games mechanics, my two friends showed me the ropes and eventually we were mining our way into caves and avoiding enemies while also building a base we could call home. As a co-operative experience, Minecraft is anything you want it to be and that’s the beauty of the game. Whether it’s simply building structures with friends or exploring when the sun goes down, Minecraft offers a wide variety of co-operative p
The Diablo series in general has done a great job of taking the players to wild locations and chaotic realms. Endless deserts, terrifying jungles, crumbling cathedrals, the depths of hell and the heights of heaven, but there’s so much more that could be explo
The Diablo series has gone through some interesting changes, both bad and good. Many fans consider Diablo 2 to be the highlight of the series with Diablo 3 introducing some interesting developments to the gamep
World of Warcraft is in a unique position to have a monthly subscription still serve as a viable model after failing so many other MMOs. Their expansions also demand purchase and serves to literally gate characters in old content and ten levels lower.
The grind for loot is only worthwhile if the loot is good. Diablo 4 Patch notes 3 introduced an interesting concept to have players grind for more and more personal power, but this had the effect of making the items less interesting or import
The core of Diablo 3 ’s gameplay loop is the addicting nature of finding high level loot which can then be shared and traded with other human players. The thrill of sighting legendary loot items after defeating a boss is all the more exciting when playing with friends, unless you happen to be the only one that gets a weak loot drop. But hey, everyone else is ha
Assassin’s Creed is a franchise that has existed for almost two decades at this point, and it certainly shows no signs of slowing down. When Assassin’s Creed 3 came around, players had to say a tearful goodbye to Ezio Auditore, the iconic Assassin’s Creed protagonist who had held his own trilogy. Now with the American Civil War and Connor Kenway, players had a new Assassin to learn the story of, and, a secret friend easter
Cyberpunk 2077 is another video game that features plenty of easter eggs and homages to other pop culture productions, especially video games. One of the more noticeable ones may be the fact that players can literally find Hideo Kojima in Cyberpunk 2077 . However, one that players might have missed, is that the Bridge Baby from Death Stranding can be fo
Players can upgrade their armor and weapons while working together to get through the game’s 10 missions. A score is given at the end of each mission and going back to play the game on harder difficulties for trophies is fun and incredibly stressful. Difficult games seem to be best enjoyed cooperatively and Dead Nation is no differ
This can even be seen in other games that try to emulate the Diablo 4 story guide formula. Shadows: Awakening mixes things up a little with the ability to shift between characters and realms with a touch of a button, and although this isn't something that Diablo 4 should directly have, it shows that with a little ingenuity the repetitive clicking can have new life breathed into
