Best Video Game Easter Eggs
There's a fair bit of customization in Diablo when it comes to the loot collected, but there are still elements that can't be controlled. This leaves the game a little at odds in comparison to to even some of the classic RPG world, let alone modern titles. Indeed, Diablo 3 does feel a little limited when it comes to choosing character designs, and Diablo 4 could do with an upgrade in that reg
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
It’s becoming more and more common for RPGs to have sprawling and interesting storylines for players to grind through. Diablo 2 had a story that took roughly 35 hours to complete and fans are hopeful Diablo 4 will expand on that by delivering a game that takes 40-50 ho
diablo 4 Achievements 's world of Sanctuary has a lot of promise. There's a depth to it that is ever hinted at, and in particular the atmosphere of Diablo 2 created this sense of a much greater universe outside of what the player saw. It's a series with some strong lore behind it, but it's fair to say that the franchise has never quite reached the heights of great storytell
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
The character should grow as a result of the player strategically planning their build, donning the right equipment, and grinding with purpose. Shredding through tough endgame enemies should feel like a reward not the default style of p
Cosmetic items are also an obvious place where Blizzard could be making money. It's honestly rather surprising to see that so much is given away freely in Diablo 3 , including wings, pets, pendants, and more.
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
A game that was almost a given, LittleBigPlanet ’s ‘Play. Create. Share.’ mantra is all about the community and the adventures players experience together. While creating maps with teammates may not be so enthralling, playing popular user-created levels and the campaign mode that the game comes with is perfect for those looking for games to play with frie
Exactly why the plot has failed to hit home is a subject of debate, but it's something that Blizzard may want to address. Diablo 3 may have been the worst example of this, with a story that attempted a much greater scope but that failed to deliver much attachment to either the characters or the sta
DOOM had been hibernating for far too long, and Bethesda and id Software knew that it was time for the Doom Guy to awaken from his slumber in a literal fashion. DOOM (2016) didn’t try and reinvent the character, but instead brought him back as the Doom Slayer, a man who fears no Hell, for he has conquered it. The Doom Slayer rips, tears, and kills demons like a hobby , just like he did way back in 1993’s original DOOM g
This can even be seen in other games that try to emulate the Diablo 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
Reading the above ideas about Diablo 4 may come off as pessimistic, but again, the point is to consider how a design for the next game would look with a revenue model that would satisfy Blizzard’s expectations, and that of its shareholders. Gone are the days of putting out a game with a single DLC pack and calling it a day. Blizzard, and many others, seek to produce games as a service, and Diablo 3 simply did not cut it. Let us cross our fingers and hope for the best, that Diablo 4 both meets our expectations and Blizzard’s - though it’s hard to imagine such an ideal landing spot for the next game.
While fans of the series are probably happy to hear that the next sequel is in the works, taking a good, hard look at how Blizzard has monetized its games for the long-term leaves little doubt that Diablo 4 will be anything but a constant cash grab. This is not pessimism towards the company or the series, but instead, an objective consideration of Blizzard’s other games, and how their games-as-a-service design manage to pull in revenue in a way that Diablo 3 could not.
