Xbox Bethesda Games Showcase: Top 10 Highlights

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


Many fans are both hopeful and leery of the promised Diablo 4 and whether it’ll be a return to formula, an innovative breakthrough, dlca or a half-handed cash grab. In any case here’s what fans hope for in the upcoming g

Another option would be to artificially lower the usefulness of the market by limiting the number of items that a player could wear that were purchased on the Auction House. In Diablo 3 , players could trade for everything they needed, acquiring all their armor, weapons, rings and necklaces as well as gear for their followers without ever fighting a single demon. A limitation of two to three items worn at a time by players would force players to actually play the game, but also help provide an option to locate an elusive missing set piece or two.


The series made a name for itself on PC as being one of the pioneers of the action RPG subgenre, and Diablo III shaped up to be a thoroughly engaging experience once its own controversies were ironed out. Expectedly, fans are cautious about the next apparently ambitious entry, with Redditors discussing what they hope to see from the game's moment-to-moment gameplay l


Redditor Frickfrackfrock acknowledged the risks of the online features shown but said, "However, just like anything, it can be done in a good way and a bad way. Like, being asked to do a fun rift run with friends as your daily quest isn't exactly as torturous as being told to gather 50x wolf pelts." There's surely a balance between monotonous and consistently engaging, and fans are hoping that balance is struck in IV 's open-world sett

Blizzard could also make items purchased from an Auction House have zero stats, but still provide its secondary or set-bonus. This would offer players a short-term solution to missing items, and still provide a power increase until they can find their own.

Since the removal of the Auction House in Diablo 3 , gold became a useless currency that would accumulate endlessly. It was not until the Empowerment of Greater Rifts that there was finally some form of gold sink added into the game. The problem of course is that Diablo 3 has a bot problem, and thus players have access to massive amounts of gold. To avoid this in the next game, Blizzard would need to implement a new manner of currency that could be used in the Auction House, along with a method to moderate and control the bots.


Admittedly Diablo 3 did a great job of making gold gathering more automated and seeing a continuation of that in the next game would do wonders. Having pets or minions that not only run around scooping up gold, but possibly also gathering items based on your filters would streamline play and bring more focus to the fig


The four main characters include Devinder Crousley, who is armed with his own inventions, Layla Ellison, who has telekinetic abilities, Remi de la Rosa, who has a robot companion, and Jacob Boyer, who has a vampiric eye and a spectral raven. In both single-player and co-op playthroughs, players can experience their unique abilities and upgrade them to suit their st


The co-op movement was probably at its peak during the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox era only to take a sharp downturn despite each passing generation boasting even more power than the last. With the ability to achieve 60 FPS gaming on consoles, some titles are forcing players to own multiple pieces of hardware in order to play under the same roof as things like PS2 multi-taps are a thing of the p
Crafting in Diablo 3 is marginally useful while leveling, but at the endgame, serves virtually no purpose outside of a few recently buffed sets and the need to create items for use within Kanai's Cube. One way to bring back the Auction House would be to completely reimagine the concept from the ground up, such as not selling any weapons or gear at all, and instead, crafting components for the long-term construction of your own gear.


One of the most addictive experiences in Diablo 2 was running the campaign in co-op mode with a total of eight players. The game ramped up the difficulty to match the fire power of the party and it made for some great mome


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


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


Redditor MonkawMonk liked the more subdued direction taken in Diablo IV , saying "I definitely dig the less flashy combat. I don’t know about you all but when I play ARPG or even an MMO I like to see what the hell I'm doing and what’s going on around me." The developers seem to also make combat less visually frantic while still keeping the spectacle factor and feeling cathar
