Diablo III May Break Your Soul Want to See It?

Without any doubt, the release of Diablo III has fully covered the world of video games on PC. After a long wait of more than a decade, all gamers anxiously waiting  the latest installment of Blizzard and we turn with its launch, bringing with it many problems of overloading servers and hacking accounts. However, true fans were already hardened to suffer the interminable wait and do not mind paying the asking price in exchange for spending hundreds of hours with our friends bringing down all kinds of demons. We did not know is that Diablo III would be able to break your soul.
To begin to clarify, I need to explain certain features of the game. Within its great story and addictive gameplay, the title hides one last challenge, one last test designed only for those who are not afraid of death itself: the real hardcore mode. Because if we were so foolish to play in that mode of difficulty we were facing an extreme experience, where the death of our character mean losing forever. Now we are not so brave right?
Our next character bears witness to this, a true gamer who spends long hours of service with their friends in Diablo III, a risky player with great ability who dared to take a last step to start the game in Hardcore mode. Fate was graceful for much of the way, with dedication, skill and courage succeeded in bringing his character to the same level 60, but at some point everything had to change and that moment came in the final boss battle of the second act.

Everything happens in an instant, the shock, disbelief, and the collapse of the body, repressed rage and anger knowing that you just blew a miserable time in tens of hours at the computer, all is lost forever in a fucking moment  where Diablo III  has destroyed your soul. Only have a long, sad silence where words fall to empty your peers and get after a long pause to say "It's all good", whispering through a body without soul.
And behind this tragicomic scene, we see the degree of addiction that Blizzard games have managed, giving us the opportunity to experience the ultimate extreme experience in a game, to take it all in one breat.

Crytek and Jaffe Embrace the Free to Play Business Model

Free-to-play games are the future of online gaming, free games in which the business is to sell special items, without which it is very difficult to progress. even impossible. This model is working  on both PC and mobile. Further, that a giant like EA board the ship, with versions F2P (free-to-play) for Battlefield and Need for Speed, says a lot. Today, the CEO of Crytek, Cevat Yerli, told Videogamer that "now we are in a transitional phase in the company, from packaged games to experience completely free-to-play"."What this implies is that our future, all new games that are working as well as new projects, new platforms and technology, are designed on the concept of free-to-play online with high quality development ". Usually, this type of games usually has a visual aspect lower than we usually see in the AAA, however, just watching Warface let us know that these Ukrainians are serious. "Clearly in Warface, our goal is to ensure the best quality", "this means budgets of between 10 and 30 million dollars."Crytek once their current contracts end with the traditional products on hand, the study will produce only F2P titles, turning around its new social gaming platform, GFACE. A risky move? Tell that to David Jaffe, designer of God of War and Twisted Metal, which has also embraced the concept of F2P. In an interview at E3, told GamesIndustry International was working on a free shooter... however he also said...
"I like to be instantaneous, that the entry barrier is very small or absent or, allowing to enter all kinds of people, I like the fact that you can sit to play five minutes or three hours." However, one thing he hates is having to pay people all day with micro-transactions. "You can listen to developers repeat yourself over and over again that there is no need to pay to win, but you know there pay to win. I'm not saying these people are evil or who are lying, but one of the things they love to say is pay with your time or pay with your money. Well, both are really crap. "Jaffe is sure his contribution, and his team, will change our concept of F2P. Personally, I think the free games are more expensive than traditional, having to do more and more micro transactions ... In the end, go above $ 50 it costs you a game. However, buying a standard game you know what you pay and you know that you wont spend more  than that. We'll see how it ends...

The Elder Scrolls Online and its visual aesthetic controversy

The excellent series of RPGs, The Elder Scrolls has always neglected the multiplayer. Bethesda told us it was virtually impossible to create a great and living environment for a player, and then replicate the multiplayer experience. Therefore, the only way was to develop a separate title, The Elder Scrolls Online, which has seen some gameplay at E3 2012. The truth is that it is not a simple replica of Skyrim, in fact, is so different that is already creating controversy among fans. At first glance, if we focus on aesthetics, looks like another clone of WoW, an MMO again, to what Pete Hines, Bethesda's marketing chief, has something to say about it.
In an interview with Eurogamer, admitted that "I feel that some people will wait Skyrim, but massively multiplayer, which, if we could, we would have done." "We would have done just a Skyrim let you play with a thousand other people." However, according to Hines, who have been trying it for the show in Los Angeles have left pleasantly surprised with comments such as "as he had hoped to read X, but I liked the real-time combat, or like this, I like that, "always in the words of Hines.
Paul Sage, a ZeniMax Studios, was also given several interviews during E3, where he had several aspects of the gameplay of The Elder Scrolls Online. In development for five years, we know that will allow up to 200 characters on screen and his time is set 1000 years ago about Skyrim and for that reason, there will be dragons. One detail that I find really interesting is the ability to go all Tamriel, from the snowy mountains of Skyrim to the mysterious lands of Morrowind, always in the same game.
Its appearance seems less mature than Skyrim, less dark, and perhaps less attractive to adult players, but I must admit that I have really wanted to try it. Meanwhile, we can visit the new official website of the game.

Diablo III Coming Patches, Patches to Come

Last week, Blizzard released patch 1.0.2 for Diablo III, balancing slightly the Monk class, solving the 14009 error, improving the speed of the launcher when downloading data, and automatically connecting to the General chat when we entered the game . This last step seems a little annoying, because you're playing and do not stop get out messages from users, having to disconnect. That is not all, they launched a few hours ago 1.0.2a, this time balancing the rewards given to us in certain missions, and little else. Wait a minute ... now one more patch? yes, the 1.0.2b is fresh from the oven, improving performance in Mac (tested, goes a little smoother), fixing some bugs in Barbarian class, and other minor changes.

Hope you do not have much patch sick, because they are already talking about the 1.0.3, whose innovations are not being received with great joy that we say, and later 1.1. Basically, some users are tearing their hair because the movement of this new  Blizzard patch is to provide some things easier to players.

For example, it will increase the Magical Item Drop rates on Inferno difficulty as they were seeing many players were almost forced to use the auction house, frustrated at not being able to progress in the adventure. In addition, there are classes that are less dependent on the items. On the other hand, some people are forced to repeat boring actions over and over again to get items.

Another change will lie in the legendary items, browns, as in 1.0.3 will be, by difference, better than magic, blues. Not so now what is happening is that you equip a legendary, and soon you see a blue item is better. They hope that these legendary memorable or distinctive in the benefits.

Assassin's Creed III: Liberation Confirmed for PS Vita

GameInformer Magazine has released the first details of a title, so far unknown, called Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, in the last number that is starting to get subscribers. Contrary to what one might think at first, not a port of the next installment which will hit home consoles, but a whole new delivery developed by Ubisoft exclusively for PS Vita.

The action of this adventure will move to the cities of New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico.

DotA 2 Joins The Free To Play Wave

Some commentators have suggested that the Free to Play model could be a feasible way to keep the game industry profitable and opinions vary as to the validity of this idea, but the truth is that we are seeing more games (especially on PC) being published with this scheme.

Now Valve has announced that its strategy game DotA 2 will be free to play with the possibility of paying for optional items.

Heroes will not cost either because that would be "destructive to the game design" and that will be sold purely cosmetic features (vanity items) with no effect on the gameplay but the advantage of being more "badass", but thes items may also be obtained through fighting or trading.

The Workshop Steam game will also create custom items which can be rated by other players and if one gets enough points and good comments, developers could add to the official store, giving part of the profits to the creators of this item. A good deal, do not you think?

Although Dota 2 is still in beta, who buys something in the game now you can keep it when the title finally hits the market.

Dota 2 is a Real Time Strategy developed from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne Blizzard for PC and Mac that still has no release date but is expected to be this year .

The model under which Valve think to work sounds very beneficial for the players and it's a pleasure to see these initiatives to reinvigorate a market that has undergone recent economic problems... Applause for this decision

Gears of War Judgment will be the next game in the franchise

Yesterday I commented on the development of a new game franchise created by Epic Games, Gears of War, a title that seemed to be a prequel to the original trilogy and that the magazine GameInformer give more details soon.

And although I did not expect it so soon, the confirmation of the development of this title and his name was revealed just a few minutes. Gears of War Judgement is the name of this supposed prequel, but not until Monday June 4 at the Microsoft conference at E3 2012 when we find out once and for all that is this new release.

Statements of Mike Capps, head of Epic Games, draw attention as he stated that the Studio responsible for developing the game Bulletstorm, People Can Fly, is involved in the creation of  Gears of War Judgement, but made ​​no mention to what extent this Studio is intruded.

Here we present the 2 covers of the magazine GameInformer where we see Damon Baird and Cole Augusus as prisoners of COG soldiers.

Star Wars 1313 will be the new Lucasarts game

The next game in the franchise will be called prolific Star Wars 1313.

The game was described by Paul Meegan, president of LucasArts as a "cinematic action adventure in  third person" where players must step into the shoes of an anonymous bounty hunter and explore the depths of Coruscant underworld known as level 1313 , which is what gives the name of the game.

Meegan said

     "We are excited to share one of the projects that Lucasarts was working hard. Star Wars 1313 dives into some of the myths of Star Wars that we always knew existed but never had chance to visit. We are committed to providing the best experience of gameplay and visual fidelity to reality, and I really believe that the work will be showing at E3 will speak for itself."

The story takes us to the dangerous lower levels of Coruscant, where the world's most dangerous villains dominate and take the role of a bounty hunter that will possess an arsenal of "exotic" weapons to hunt their victims and reveal the truth surrounding a criminal conspiracy. The game will focus on combat and fast action as well as the use of technology and equipment rather than the supernatural powers of the Force typical games like Force Unleashed, or Jedi Knight.

No images were revealed than the one illustrating this note, but given the announced features we can foresee a game that will point to the real fans of Star Wars more than children and housewives who had fun with SW Kinect. Hopefully the force be with this game for the good of us.

The Diablo III Real Money auction house is released on June 12

Blizzard plans to launch the Diablo III real money auction house on June 12. Initially expected to launch the service on 22 May but was delayed last week because Blizzard thought he needed "a little more time to solve the problems of general stability and gameplay."


For those who do not know yet about the real money auction house in Diablo III, it's something that sounds interesting and will certainly serve as an experiment for future developments. This service will sell and buy weapons, equipment and other items between players for real money, money that Blizzard will take $ 1 for each piece of equipment that players sold. For services as would be the crafting of materials, gems, gold and all that Blizzard considered as "stacking" elements  the company would keep 15% of the cost of the transaction.

Added to this Blizzard will keep another 15% of the transaction if users decide to use third party services such as Paypalto get their money. To avoid this cost players can choose to trust money into your Battle.net account to be used exclusively on Blizzard games and merchandising. To learn more about this as it is always best to address the FAQ for Diablo III.

Remember that this is not the only announced update by Blizzard,  the company will also introduce at some point the expected PVP through a patch, something that will surely make new problems and fanrage, but what would the Internet and video games be without that...
