![]() Make no mistake, couch co-op in Diablo 3 was a blast a decade or so ago, but by today’s standards it’s pretty archaic, such as how players can’t enter any menu screens independently of each other, which means you have to wait your turn when the other player’s levelling up, salvaging gear, browsing their inventory, transmogging, or any of the other million things you do on menu screens in Diablo 4 (just imagine the tedium of doing this with four couch co-op players).ĭiablo 4 does fix this stuff, but only to an extent, and the more you play the more half-baked it feels. Clearly, Blizz aren’t so out of touch as not to include controller support for Diablo on PC for the first time, and having tested it out I’ve been impressed at how seamlessly it works, so from there it’s hard to see what the big obstacle is in just giving the PC version a feature that already has been implemented across the four other platforms the game’s releasing on.īut let’s talk about the couch co-op experience itself, which hasn’t improved as much on Diablo 3’s antiquated co-op system as it should have. It’s 2023, Blizz whether via in-home streaming, Nvidia Shields, or HDMI cables, many of our PCs are hooked up to our massive 4K TVs in one form or another. There was couch co-op in the PS1 version of the original Diablo, up to four people could rub shoulders in Diablo 3, and now we’er seeing the feature return in Diablo 4–albeit reeled back in to just supporting two players locally.īut, for a series that’s long been something of a pioneer in co-op gaming, I’d have expected more from the couch co-op functionality in Diablo 4.įirst, let’s get it out of the way that the decision to omit couch co-op from the PC version of the game is incomprehensible, pandering to the outmoded idea that PC players sequester themselves away in cupboards where they play games, in absolute solitude using a mouse-and-keyboard. The series’ fast-paced hack-and-slash format has always lent itself well to doing so alongside a buddy, and in fact couch co-op has been a feature in every iteration of the game apart from Diablo 2. ![]() This game is good for action-RPG fans and has a ton of engaging content.Playing Diablo in couch co-op is one of life’s great little pleasures. ![]() You go on quests and side quests as you navigate a world that faces a resurrection of a Demon. When you first start the game, you are able to pick one of the four classes: Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer. The game also has PVP which allows players to fight each other. The game is the first in the series to have a completely open world. The game has a ton of content, such as dungeons that are procedurally generated and replayable. The game is the fourth instalment within the Diablo series. The game was released on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. On top of that, the game is considered to be difficult and has a steeper learning curve.ĭiablo 4 is an action RPG both developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. This makes sense, people want the full experience of Diablo 4. The reason for this is pretty clear: there is so much content in the game, especially side content, that players are opting to do those instead of the main campaign. And this was two months after the player count first started being recorded. This can also be a big reason why the player count has dropped significantly, yet, either. Most players haven't even beaten Diablo 4's campaign yetĪs of June 17th, 2023, it was reported by Blizzard (the studio behind Diablo 4) that the majority of players haven't beaten the main campaign yet for Diablo 4. Of course, this number could be higher by now, too, probably almost at 50 billion. With more deaths than total monsters slain, it goes to show that Diablo 4 might be a more difficult game with a steeper learning curve. Number of Monsters killed by players so farĪs of June 27th, 2023, people have slain a total of almost 30 billion monsters in Diablo 4. This shows that games on the Xbox might not sell as well in Japan, too, considering Playstation is made by a Japanese company, Sony, which makes it clear that PlayStation has the Asian market, especially Japan. Xbox Series X sold 8,524 copies of Diablo 4. Total number of copies sold in Japan by console This number may be higher by now, probably being well over 50 billion total deaths in Diablo 4, possibly even closer to the 100 billion point. Total Number of times people died in Diablo 4Īs of June 27th, 2023, people have died about 47 billion times in Diablo 4. Of course, by now that number could be much higher, likely over 100 million hours, maybe even 150 million hours. Total Number of hours players put into the gameĪs of June 27th, 2023, people have put in about 93 million hours.
