Diablo 4 fans are quickly discovering the game’s version of a “loot cave,” and the game’s developers are rushing to keep up with the carnage. For those who don’t know, the term “loot cave” comes from Destiny. Not long after Destiny‘s debut, players discovered a cave that could generate a seemingly infinite amount of enemies.

Since 2020, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest has served as a solid replacement for E3. Well, E3 is probably permanently dead now, but the Summer Game Fest will go on as planned. The Summer Game Fest will kick off Thursday, June 8. Unlike most online gaming streams these days, the Summer Game Fest isn’t just

While E3 is probably never coming back, we may have found a suitable replacement in the form of Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest. However, even though we now have a new king of game announcement trailers, we still have to deal with the age-old tradition of leaks and rumors. The more things change, the more

Like the Diablo games before it, Diablo 4 is all about loot. So much of the game revolves around getting the better gear needed to take on its toughest challenges. That’s why it’s so strange that the game’s settings menu includes a way to instantly compare items that isn’t enabled by default. See, like many

Diablo 4 is meant to be explored. That’s why the team pivoted to an open-world format that encourages you to bounce between multiple activities. Of course, there are times when you’ll simply want to run a specific piece of content over and over again. For those times, you’ll want to know about resetting Dungeons, World

Like every Diablo game before it, acquiring Legendary gear is a big part of the Diablo 4 experience. Of course, like every Diablo game before it, there is no guaranteed way to consistently acquire Legendary gear (or better) in Diablo 4. While there are some Campaign events that will always reward you with Legendary items,

Like many dungeon crawlers, the meat of Diablo 4 is saved for the post-game content. The game’s best activities and strongest weapons are reserved for players who have achieved max level. The game will feature powerful world bosses, Nightmare Dungeons, PvP arenas, each with their own rewards. While you can level at your own pace,

Diablo 4 is publically launching on June 6, and to celebrate, Blizzard is teaming up with Twitch (as well as certain Twitch streamers) to give players a treasure trove worth of items. While these rewards are easy to earn, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you might miss out on some prizes you really

Diablo 4′s Hardcore Mode is a pretty simple concept. You create a Diablo 4 character (as usual), you level them up (as usual), and you try to get the best loot possible (as usual). The difference is that when you die in Hardcore Mode, your character is deleted from the server. It doesn’t matter how

When Street Fighter II: The World Warrior hit the scene in 1991 and changed everything, it proved that the fighting game genre was the perfect fixture for the arcade. Between the endless player vs. player challenges and the multiple endings for those going solo, fighters had the perfect amount of replay value for hanging out

Blizzard has, unfortunately, lost a lot of clout in recent years thanks to shady business decisions and related controversies. Their recent reputation cast a shadow of doubt over the otherwise highly-anticipated release of Diablo 4. Specifically, fans wondered if Diablo 4‘s microtransactions would result in a dreaded pay-to-win ecosystem. Those fears have only grown since

Diablo 4 can be a surprisingly tough game. Whether you’re trying to level or working your way through the extensive endgame content, you will likely find yourself hitting a wall from time to time. When that happens, you’re going to want to make sure your character build is optimized. Diablo 4 is surprisingly generous when

The Diablo franchise started its life on the PC. Early attempts to port the series to consoles were…mixed. However, Diablo 3 and the Diablo 2 remake both showed that Diablo can actually work on controllers and consoles. Now that Diablo on consoles is an established norm, Diablo 4 is releasing on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation

This article appears in the new issue of DEN OF GEEK magazine. Get your copy here. In the early ’90s, game designer David Brevik took the beloved but financially struggling computer role-playing game (CRPG) genre and stripped it for parts. No elaborate character backstories, no morality system, and no dice roll-based decision-making. In Brevik’s words, he wanted to

While Diablo 4 will soon be released following about a decade of anticipation, some will actually be able to start playing the game sooner than others. That’s because, like many major modern new releases, Diablo 4 will allow some players to gain early access to the full game ahead of its official June 6 launch.

I never really had any doubt that Diablo 4 would be a fun game. It was easy to lose hours (even days) to Diablo 4’s betas. Through ups and downs, the Diablo games have long been fundamentally enjoyable to play.  What worried me most about Diablo 4 was the game’s live-service structure and all of

It’s almost time for gamers to once again let their digital fists do the talking. Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 is almost here, and we think we have a pretty good idea about when you’ll actually be able to start playing it. During The Game Awards 2022, Capcom released a new trailer for Street Fighter 6.

This article is brought to you by Fanatical. As part of their annual Bundlefest event, Fanatical have launched a wide range of gaming bundles for both Steam gamers and VR fans.

The names of the great RPGs are etched into the history of gaming like caricatures of a civilization’s most legendary heroes upon the walls of a great city. The incredible adventures they take us on often set a standard that many other games try to equal. For as famous as some of the greatest RPGs

Open-world games are a difficult balancing act. Crafting a large world for gamers to explore is completely detached from creating a world worth exploring. If a game’s world is devoid of content, then it doesn’t matter how much digital square footage the developers crammed into the title. In fact, a lack of worthwhile side adventures

The World of Warcraft Classic team recently announced that they are adding Tokens to Wrath of the Lich King Classic. A modern staple of the “Retail” WoW experience, Tokens essentially allow players to convert in-game gold into subscription fee payments. Crucially, though, those Tokens can be purchased with real money and then sold to other

There are still so many potentially great games left to be released in 2023. Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 16, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate 3, and more will finish up one of the best years for new releases in recent memory. In the minds of some gamers, though, the 2023 Game of the Year

Nintendo recently released update 1.1.2 for Tears of the Kingdom (the game’s second major post-launch update). While the update’s patch notes are traditionally sparse, players are discovering that the update seems to have removed the most useful glitches in the game. As we previously discussed, Tears of the Kingdom launched with several glitches that allowed

The 2023 PlayStation Showcase was a bit of a disappointment. Sure, plenty of our predictions came true, but the whole event was a very “meh” affair. Quite frankly, the most exciting part of the showcase was the final game, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and that’s mostly because its trailer showcased some actual gameplay. Despite the many

The rumors finally proved to be true. Konami is publishing a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater that was just revealed during the PlayStation showcase. While we’re still waiting to learn so much more about the project, most people really want to know why the game is called Metal Gear Solid Triangle: Snake

One of the biggest surprises of the recent PlayStation Showcase was the reveal of Bungie’s new Marathon game. While Marathon is Bungie’s first new project in quite some time, the game’s name is obviously a nod to 1994’s Marathon: the game that put Bungie on the map. So how closely connected are those two titles?

It is time once again for a PlayStation Showcase. What games will be announced? What surprises does the stream have in store? You will never find out unless you know when and where to watch. The PlayStation 2023 Showcase stream will start on May 24 at 1 pm PST, 4 pm EST, and 9 pm

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has only been officially available for about five days. However, early sales reports for the game are slowly coming in, and they tell a story that the rest of the industry should be paying attention to.

This article contains spoilers for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Despite pre-release speculation, Princess Zelda is not playable in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
