Best Video Game Easter Eggs
Following the disastrous announcement of Diablo: Immortal at BlizzCon 2018, players were somewhat relieved to learn that Diablo 4 is finally in development. Recently here at TheGamer, we discussed how the failure of the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) was a catalyst that shifted how Diablo 3 was developed, and subsequently abandoned long before its original vision was fulfilled. This included the cancellation of a second expansion called The King of the North, and the rumor of a cancelled Druid class.
Yes, The Last of Us does have a multiplayer mode and it’s absolutely fantastic. But the reason Naughty Dog’s epic is on this list is the multiplayer’s focus on teamwork and understanding. Just like in the single player portion, the game’s multiplayer has a severe scarcity in resources and ammunition. Players are almost forced to work together in order to attain vict
Full visual customization of the characters would be great. Not only would it allow players to really make their playable character their own, but it could also add to more variety in the multiplayer scene, with different takes on each character making multiplayer team-ups feel uni
The core of Diablo 4 News 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
Something that will be requested for Diablo 4 is cross play, should the title launch at the same time for consoles and PC. Allowing players to team up across different devices has been one of the key improvements that gaming has seen in recent years, no longer forcing groups of friends to have to own the same system to still play together. If Nintendo and Microsoft can work out Minecraft cross play , then surely Blizzard can do simi
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.
Overwatch is perhaps the least demanding of a consumer’s cash as it only has a single purchase point to access the game, but then has the benefit of loot boxes for the many cosmetic skins created for events scattered throughout the year. With that said, the esports push in the Overwatch League (OWL) likely keeps it relevant enough to justify additional development.
Instead of players grinding for that powerful sickle for their necromancers they were wielding random spears or axes because it boosted their overall power. Introducing powerful items that shakeup the gameplay or interesting synergies would put the grind back on items and less on Paragon lev
Sneaking around a map with a few teammates to gather resources while the others act as a decoy are the types of tactics that are necessary in the multiplayer modes. Holding out as the last two members of your team in the Survivors mode and having to work together to come up with a strategy is exactly what The Last of Us ’ multiplayer is all ab
Working together with friends to shoot Stormtroopers, discover Maz Kanata’s castle, or do battle with the Dark Side in LEGO form alongside an epic musical score makes for a great adventure I cannot help but recommend. The game’s brilliant design to adapt events in the movie to fit perfectly in a co-operative game deserves immense praise and sitting back to view the cut-scenes you know from the movie is like re-living the first time you saw the f
From here, players will explode a small area filled with Hell Bovines, which, despite their namesake, are just bipedal cows with axes. It’s a hilarious easter egg, and the fact that players have to fight for their lives against cows and a Cow King just shows why people enjoy these R
PlayStation consoles are known more for their gripping single-player exclusives like The Last of Us , God of War , and inFamous as opposed to Xbox’s multiplayer focused exclusives like Gears of War , Halo , and Forza Horizon . But even then, there are still a bunch of games that players on Sony’s platform can enjoy co-operatively. Here are the 15 co-op games on PlayStation 4 you need to be play
The more probable idea is to split the game into episodes, similar to what was done with Starcraft II over its long development and release. Alternatively, the game could go the route of World of Warcraft , which is to say that Blizzard could release expansions more frequently, perhaps every year or so. These would provide not only a small amount of new content, but also an all-important level cap increase to gate progression for existing players unless they buy in.
Blizzard’s current business model is to create games that demand an infusion of cash from their consumers for them to remain relevant in the content of the game, to for the company to justify its developmental resources. 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.
