Players could actually find the classic maps and levels in the form of retro secret areas in DOOM (2016)’s main campaign. Finding a retro lever, players could activate a secret door, with original DOOM enemies from 1993. It was great fun, and nostalgic, and allowed players to see how far the Doom Guy has come, as well as the technol

This massive change means it is easier to tell what gems work on what skills, meaning it won't be as daunting for new players to understand. This also means that players won't have to spend resources or time adding sockets and links into newly-earned items to use them. Leveling will be much better, and this system allows for additional main skills to be used, as there will be significantly more slots for 6link items—the most sockets available to enhance a sk

The trailer from BlizzCon gave fans a superficial overview of what to expect, but all the key features appear intact. The newest form of the Druid will still commend elemental magic, though fire magic has not yet appeared, which would coincide with it remaining the exclusive domain of the Sorcer

2008 was a different time for Star Wars fans. The Prequel Trilogy had just concluded with Revenge of the Sith , and the canon of the franchise was a little all over the place with books and Dlca video games featuring the different eras of Star Wars . 2008 was a different time for Star Wars fans, and not many liked Jar Jar Binks and his cartoonish ant

The first hints that the Druid would be added to Diablo 3 were not mere conspiracy theories by hopeful fans, but deliberate clues added into the Public Test Realm of the game, which a developer then hinted at for players to find through social media. Diablo 3 content-creator superstar Rhykker goes into detail on this matter, beginning with the Muddied Parchment as one such clue, reading "The words are illegible from the elements and what appear to be claw mar

Borderlands 2 players can venture into the Caustic Caverns to find a hidden cave in the northwest section of the map. Players will find their location thanks to the square Minecraft -style blocks that they need to hit to break. Inside the cave, there will be Creeper enemies! These Creepers are directly taken from Minecraft in a wonderful crossover easter

Despite this ending being a non-canon joke, the Mira shiba inu dog ending has featured in a few Silent Hill games due to how fun this easter egg is. It’s a nice change of pace from all the horrors , fog, and murders, and it features Mira as the dog that was behind all the events in Silent Hill 2 thanks to a bunch of control levers and butt

The desire to have meaningful PVP goes back to the days of Diablo 2 , and its formal inclusion in Diablo 3 during the 2010 BlizzCon was met with much praise. It wasn't a total success, however: over time the feature became problematic for Blizzard, and in 2012 it was cancelled entir

In retrospect the entire situation is nothing less than strange. Why did White go out of his way to ensure players find this reference to Druids when nothing would formally be released? We can only speculate, but given how Diablo 3 ’s long-term development shaped up, White may have genuinely thought that the Druid class would be released for the game, and then backpedaled to delete certain tweets afterwards when it became apparent that those plans would not unfold as first thou

While Path of Exile has Ascendencies, prestige classes players acquire throughout the campaign, they do not offer the specific class identity many aRPG fans love. The Druid in Diablo is known for his shapeshifting and earth-based magic, but any class in Path of Exile can fill that role if they use the correct skills. This means that every character can feel the same and rather boring compared to the designed skills available for specific classes in Diablo

Blizzard has mentioned there are dedicated zones in D4 meant for player versus player action. It might not be as comprehensive as Overwatch , but fighting friends or strangers for the coolest gear that dropped is a large part of the aRPG genre that, thankfully, Blizzard is embrac

While class identity may be lacking, Path of Exile has an impressive character customization system that allows any character to use any skill if they have the required attributes. A Witch could use the same melee heavy skills a Maurader can, and a Templar could use the same bow skills a Ranger

Games like the Dark Souls trilogy were praised for (among many other things) being immersive dark fantasy RPGs . The Diablo series certainly falls under the dark fantasy subgenre, but one minor complaint about III was its surprisingly vibrant color palette and general art direction for such a bleak, apocalyptic wo

Classes in Diablo 4 are distinct, each coming with unique skills and talents. Add to this class-specific sets and legendaries, and it is easy to see that every class plays dramatically different from each ot
