This demo also included the first part of Act I with King Leoric as a final boss.Įrror 37 was the worst fear for new players In early september of 2011, The devs launched without a notice the first “so-called Friends and family” closed beta with no NDA (Non-disclosure agreement), which included all 5 classes – Barbarian, Wizard, Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter and Monk. So basically Blizzard knew how to treat players and how to deliver. Throughout that year, Blizzard also revealed in-game cinematics for Wizard, Monk and Demon Hunter, and 2 more additional videos explaining follower system and crafting.
In these gameplay videos, Blizzard explained in details new features like destructible environment, barbarian skills, UI, elemental enhancers, new type of enemies, verticality of maps, 3D dialogue menu which was later scrapped, Co-op with a new class Witch Doctor, and the Assault Beast in the end of that Demo.īut this was only the beginning.
This is when Blizzard posted 2-part videos of the actual scripted but still gameplay. Its game formula can still be found in many other games, even in shooters like Borderlands for example, and it is crazy to believe that this formula still works flawlessly and attracts many new players to this day.Ģ010 was probably the most memorable year for Diablo 3. Players were really excited to dive deep into this world to create a new character, try out and master skills, learn in-game mechanics, create farming routes, share their guides, builds and opinions in person or on the internet, trade with people around the world for items, and of course slay enemies with an exciting sound design and gore. And of course, how could I forget about old but gold, and magnificent Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction. Share in the comments what other games you loved to play before Diablo 3. These were some decent games back then, and I don’t regret trying them at all. I personally played Titan Quest (2006) Sacred 2 (2008) and Torchlight (2009).
