Rod Fergusson, the general manager of Diablo 4, has shared his impressive gaming statistics on Twitter, revealing that he has spent a total of 60 days, 20 hours, and 26 minutes in the eerie world of Sanctuary. This amounts to almost 1500 hours of constant combat against demons. However, despite this remarkable playtime, Fergusson still has not managed to complete all the achievements that the title has to offer, accumulating a Gamerscore of 1550 out of a possible 1650 with 34 of the 35 achievements reached.

Rod Fergusson, the general manager of Diablo 4, has shared his impressive gameplay statistics on Twitter, revealing that he has spent a total of 60 days, 20 hours, and 26 minutes in the haunting world of Sanctuary. This amounts to almost 1500 hours of constant combat against demons. However, despite this remarkable playtime, Fergusson still has not managed to complete all the achievements that the title has to offer, accumulating a Gamerscore of 1550 out of a possible 1650 with 34 of the 35 achievements reached.
Statistics worthy of a true gamer
Achievements in Diablo 4 vary in difficulty, from completing simple tasks to reaching goals that require significant effort. For example, one of the most challenging achievements is the Devout Champion, which is unlocked by reaching Paragon level 300. This is an achievement that demands considerable dedication and time, a challenge that many players recognize as monumental. On the other hand, the Fearless Combatant achievement, which requires getting 10 kills in PvP in Hardcore mode, is another testament to the difficulty in achievement hunting, especially for a player with responsibilities outside the game.
Meanwhile, Blizzard has announced a major update to the game balance that will include significant improvements for all classes, which could dynamically change the gaming experience for players looking to optimize their performance in Diablo 4. With the upcoming Season 9 event, Fergusson is confident that these new opportunities will help him complete the achievement he is missing and potentially add a few more hours to his impressive playtime.

Blizzard Entertainment returns with a bang after a disappointing eighth season of Diablo IV, launching the new Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim starting July 1. This update promises to load the game with new features and remedy past mistakes, while immersing players back into the chaos of Sanctuary.
A difficult job, but with some interesting principles
The adventurers will move to Cerrigar, where a new plot will unfold involving the druid Bryona and the horadric wizard Donan, who faced Astaroth, a demon brimming with evil. The main objective will be to purify some dangerous relics before they fall into the wrong hands.
One of the most exciting features of this season is the horadric spell system, which allows players to customize their combat style through unique combinations of abilities. To create these powerful spells, catalysts, infusions, and arcanes will be required, adding a deep layer of strategy to the game.
The new micromazes, known as the burrowed armored chambers, form another attraction. Players will find intense challenges in these dungeons, where they will have only 100 seconds to defeat enemies, activate statues, and collect rewards. Additionally, a chain of three increasingly difficult dungeons, known as the Escalating Nightmares, will be introduced, each accumulating the effects of the previous one.
The battle will culminate in an epic confrontation against Astaroth, which will unfold in two phases, allowing players to adjust its difficulty. Season 9 will also bring new challenges, enemies, and areas to explore, providing players with a refreshed experience in the vast world of Diablo IV.
Players will be able to access new rewards, including mounts and pets, through the reliquaries, the seasonal journal, and Tejal’s shop, ensuring that there is plenty of content to explore and enjoy.
Season 8 of Diablo IV has unleashed a wave of criticism just a few days after its release. Players have strongly voiced their discontent on social media, especially on Reddit, expressing their dissatisfaction with the recent perception that the voices in the Spanish version have been recorded with artificial intelligence, which has affected the immersion and quality of the game. Not only the dubbing, but also the relics. Additionally, the new battle pass system, now called Relics, has contributed to the general discontent. Blizzard has introduced four options, each focused on different cosmetic rewards like […]
Season 8 of Diablo IV has unleashed a wave of criticism just a few days after its release. Players have strongly voiced their discontent on social media, especially on Reddit, expressing their dissatisfaction with the recent perception that the voices in the Spanish version have been recorded with artificial intelligence, which has affected the immersion and quality of the game.
Not only dubbing, but also reliquaries
Additionally, the new battle pass system, now called Relics, has contributed to the general discontent. Blizzard has introduced four options, each focused on different cosmetic rewards such as armor, weapons, or mounts, but only one of these passes is completely free. Previously, players received 700 platinum coins upon completing the battle pass; now, that figure has been significantly reduced to just 200 coins, representing a significant loss and has been a cause for outrage.
The prices of the Reliquaries have also been the subject of criticism. The package that includes all the Reliquaries costs 1,000 platinum coins, while the Deluxe version rises to 2,800 coins. In this context, players feel that they are getting less for the same cost, given that the current system offers fewer rewards overall.
The discontent has reached such a point that some users have declared their intention to stop playing, comparing the current situation to previous issues in other titles, such as Apex Legends. Many believe that this strategy by Blizzard could be aimed at maximizing their revenue at the expense of player satisfaction.
The Diablo IV community is eagerly awaiting how Blizzard will respond to these criticisms, while wondering if significant changes will be made to address these issues and regain public trust.
Blizzard Entertainment has made the decision to increase the difficulty in Diablo IV with the launch of Season 8, scheduled for April 29. This measure responds to complaints from many players who were able to complete idle content by remaining AFK, resulting in rewards without the corresponding effort. Colin Finer, lead live game designer, stated in an interview with PC Gamer that the team aims to balance the challenge the game offers, asserting that “without a challenge, you feel like you’re getting free candy.” A change that will significantly increase the challenge The decision to […]

Colin Finer, lead live game designer, stated in an interview with PC Gamer that the team aims to balance the challenge the game offers, asserting that “without a challenge, you feel like you’re getting free candy.”
A change that will significantly increase the challenge
The decision to increase the difficulty has not been well received by the gaming community, generating a debate about the possible disconnection between development goals and fan expectations. Despite the criticism, the developers are convinced that this increase in the level of challenge will enrich the gaming experience. “We believe that extra point of difficulty will really help the game feel more rewarding,” added Finer, who also mentioned that after conducting tests in the Public Test Realm, they adjusted the difficulty levels based on the feedback received.
In addition to the increased difficulty, Season 8 will come with a change in Blizzard’s philosophy regarding content management in Diablo IV. Instead of just adding new elements with each season, the team plans to implement improvements to the existing features of the Action RPG, ensuring that the game evolves consistently. In this way, Blizzard aims to balance the inclusion of new challenges without making the game cumbersome or slowing down the players’ experience.
With an eye on these changes, Diablo IV fans eagerly await the launch of the new season and what promises to be a renewed experience in its dark world.
Blizzard Entertainment has revealed a detailed plan for the future of Diablo IV, an unprecedented initiative in the saga, aimed at connecting with its player base. The game director, Brent Gibson, highlighted in a recent interview that the roadmap will be focused on listening to fans and prioritizing the most significant aspects of the game, adapting to the needs of the community. This approach responds to the growing appetite of players for new content, prompting the developer to strive to provide constant and meaningful updates.

This approach responds to the growing appetite of players for new content, prompting the developer to strive to provide constant and meaningful updates.
The Era of Hate
The expansion, which will be released in 2026, will include a increase in dungeon difficulty and will mark the return of the villain Belial, as well as the implementation of leaderboards. Gibson emphasized that the team is dedicating considerable effort to ensure that this new installment is the best to date, reflecting a clear intention to innovate and improve the user experience. Although some players may feel disappointed by the additional wait time, the focus on quality seems to be a priority.
This announcement comes just before the start of Season 8 of Diablo IV, which has generated controversy among players due to the increased difficulty proposed by Blizzard. This change has caused discomfort in the community, highlighting the rapid volatility of priorities in game development, which can shift in response to user feedback and other releases in the industry.
Despite the criticism, it is clear that Diablo IV has a promising future. Blizzard seems to have taken a positive direction, bringing back features demanded by veteran fans while introducing new challenges that will keep the essence of the game alive and exciting.
The first one arrives. It starts to get warmer, or less cold, and you feel like going out into the street. But more important than all that is that Steam is putting on its spring sales. One of the four big sales of the year, which coincide with each of the four seasons. Although some say that the sales used to be better, we do not agree. There are excellent deals right now. And we are going to prove it to you. These are the Steam deals you can’t miss. Higurashi When They Cry – Free | €36.44 (-35%) If, like us, you are […]

And we are going to prove it to you. Here are the Steam offers you can’t miss.
If, like us, you are eagerly awaiting Silent Hill f, you might be curious about playing the previous titles from its creator, Ryukishi07. And the one that is most similar is Higurashi When They Cry. Moreover, you are in luck: it’s free! Well, sort of. The first chapter is free, but you will have to buy the following ones, which have a very tempting offer. But trust us, this is like a drug. If the first one is free, it’s because they know you won’t be able to quit even if you want to.
One of the great indie games in history. With a large fandom behind it, very beloved by the public, it catapulted Toby Fox to stardom. And not without good reason. This year we should receive the next two chapters of his next work, Deltarune, and what better way to prepare than to play his first game for an absolutely ridiculous amount of money? You pay more money for a coffee that you enjoy less than what Undertale leaves with you.
If Microsoft has a big bet this year, it is Doom: The Dark Ages. The Doom franchise has not failed since it returned in 2016 with a reinvention of the game that retains the same frenetic pace, violence, and heavy metal spirit as the original, but with a different touch. If you have never played that first game, this is the perfect time. Just two euros to get ready for Doom: The Dark Ages, which they have confirmed draws from this even more than from Doom Eternal.
It turns 30 years old, we still don’t know what Square Enix intends to do, but it seems that the first thing is that we can all replay it. With the largest offer in its history, Chrono Trigger is basically being given away right now. For less than 4 euros, you can get one of the best JRPGs in history, created by the most absolutely amazing team of creators in the history of video game development. Everything we tell you about Chrono Trigger falls short. Although that doesn’t mean we won’t try.
If you prefer western role-playing games, in the style of Baldur’s Gate, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is exactly what you need. A game heavily inspired by the classics, but with all the comforts of modern games, the only thing it lacks is the Dungeons & Dragons license. It has the Pathfinder license, the most famous clone of Dungeons & Dragons. And the game is an absolute delight that will keep you glued to the screen for as many hours as you want to invest for a ridiculous amount of money.
We know that WWE 2K25 has just been released, but let’s be honest: there is only one king of wrestling video games and that is Fire Pro Wrestling. The best wrestling video game has been so for 30 years and it is not going to stop being so anytime soon, and now you can buy it for a historic low price. Moreover, the PC version allows you to introduce an almost infinite amount of community-created content that makes this the game you can play for the rest of your life if that’s what you want. And no. We are not exaggerating.
If an indie game stood out last year, it was Mouthwashing. Knowing how to capture the essence of horror, telling a story as chilling as it is captivating, it is a brief but intense experience that is even more enjoyable in subsequent playthroughs. Now for just a few cents over 10 euros, it is the perfect time to dive into this terrifying and fascinating adventure that captivated everyone in 2024.
If you have VR glasses, you probably already have it, but if that’s not the case, why don’t you have Half-Life: Alyx? This game is the reason to have VR glasses, and now it’s at a price that is practically stealing from Valve. Or it would be if they weren’t still not giving us Half-Life 3, which is why we’re a bit angry with them. So, if you have VR or are thinking about getting some, this game should be in your library because you won’t experience anything better.
There may be those who haven’t jumped into Diablo IV because they are waiting for more content. If you are that person, congratulations: this is your moment. The price is excellent and the content of Diablo IV is already more than you will be able to tackle even if you dedicate 8 or 10 hours a day. And is that good? It’s excellent for Diablo players. Because we are talking about less than 30 euros for a game that, if you want, will last you hundreds of hours of exactly what you are looking for. Scratching that itch you have for more Diablo.
It has had mixed impressions, but let’s be clear: Dragon Age: The Veilguard. It is not the previous Dragon Age games, but it is not a bad Dragon Age. And it is certainly a good Dragon Age to play for 30 euros. An irresistible price for a game that, controversies aside, is graphically spectacular and offers an engaging narrative and very interesting gameplay.
The crown jewel. The J-RPG that keeps us hooked for many, many hours. Persona 3 Reload hasn’t dropped much in price, but it doesn’t matter: it’s an excellent game and you should take the opportunity to buy it, enjoy it, savor it. If you’re a fan of Persona 5, Persona 3 Reload will not only not disappoint you, but it might even please you more. That’s why you should try it. Because it might be your new favorite game.

Blizzard Entertainment has solidified its reputation for keeping its games active for years, and its iconic Diablo series is no exception. This longevity is evident in the releases, which, in recent years, have been presented every 11 years. Since the launch of Diablo 4 in June 2023, the title has already gone through its seventh season, during which players have been able to enjoy new features and activities that enhance the gaming experience and character development.
A tremendous event where goblins are the protagonists
Between March 4 and 11, Diablo 4 players will be able to participate in a special event titled the “Goblin March.” During this week, adventurers will be encouraged to seek out goblins scattered across the map, who, when defeated, release unique mythical items. This mechanic not only offers significant rewards to enhance character attributes but also fosters interaction among players and their different heroes, providing an additional incentive to play with all the classes available since launch.
Blizzard has implemented a reputation system in this activity, which increases the chances of encountering generous goblins as players progress. This adds a strategic layer to the gameplay, as each encounter offers them the opportunity to obtain different levels of items —ranging from greens to purples, and even diamond and gold level equipment— thus enhancing the experience and skills of the heroes as they face new challenges.

Do you find today’s RPGs very easy? Some video game creators do. The Diablo saga, recognized as a pioneer in the action RPG genre since its release by Blizzard Entertainment, has been the subject of debate recently. David Breivik, one of the original creators of Diablo and Diablo II, has expressed his discontent with the current direction of gameplay in these games, pointing out an excess of speed in character progression that, in his opinion, overshadows user satisfaction.

Do you find today’s RPGs very easy? Some video game creators do. The Diablo saga, recognized as a pioneer in the action RPG genre since its release by Blizzard Entertainment, has been the subject of debate recently. David Breivik, one of the original creators of Diablo and Diablo II, has expressed his discontent with the current direction of gameplay in these games, pointing out an excess of speed in character progression that, in his opinion, overshadows user satisfaction.
In an interview with the portal VideoGamer, Breivik argued that the recent trend towards more frantic gaming experiences has resulted in a mechanic that allows players to eliminate enemies effortlessly, leading to an accelerated leveling up. According to him, this way of playing strips the experience of its sense of challenge and makes the battlefield feel less immersive.
Breivik advocates for a more thoughtful and measured approach, highlighting that games like Diablo II are the model to follow in terms of character progression. For him, enjoying the evolution of your avatar, without the pressure to reach levels at a breakneck pace, would enrich the gaming experience. This view stands in stark contrast to the established patterns in modern titles that favor an excessive pace.
The creator did not limit himself to criticizing only action RPGs, but also directed his comments towards MMORPGs, warning that these titles tend to allow for a very superficial familiarity with the character due to their accelerated progression systems. Breivik argues that, without the opportunity to properly connect with the avatar, the gaming experience is compromised and becomes something fleeting.
This criticism resonates at a time when many players are beginning to question the design decisions that prevail in the industry, opening a debate about what kind of gaming experience we truly desire in the future.
The recent Season 7 of Diablo 4 has introduced new sorcery powers, highlighting the Decay Augmentation, a mechanic that, far from being just an addition, has become the epicenter of a controversial exploit among players. Since its release just over a week ago, this bug has allowed some players to inflict massive damage, reaching figures that exceed trillions. Using this power, players have managed to overcome the game’s most difficult content in record times. An exploit that makes it impossible to surpass the leaders on the leaderboards in the trials. Notable players like KerkyBoi […]
The recent Season 7 of Diablo 4 has introduced new sorcery powers, highlighting the Decay Augmentation, a mechanic that, far from being just an addition, has become the epicenter of a controversial exploit among players. Since its release just over a week ago, this bug has allowed some players to inflict massive damage, reaching figures that exceed trillions. Using this power, players have managed to overcome the game’s most difficult content in record times.
An exploit that makes it impossible to surpass the leaderboard leaders in trials
Outstanding players like KerkyBoi and Mekuna have recorded impressive performances on the leaderboards, with KerkyBoi achieving a time of 2:48 minutes in the most challenging task. Meanwhile, Mekuna secured a close second place with 6:27 minutes. “It’s like magic, everything explodes,” Mekuna comments, as he demonstrates the skill to exploit the bug almost nonchalantly. Although the technical mechanics are confusing, it is clear that the power is functioning in a non-traditional way, causing concern among the community of developers and players.
A spokesperson for Blizzard has stated that the development team is aware of the exploit and considers it a high priority to be fixed. Although the company has had a variable approach to resolving bugs and exploits in the past, sometimes fixing them quickly and other times waiting until a full season, the fact is that this situation has raised concerns about the game’s balance.
Season 7 not only brings new challenges, but also incorporates elements that many fans had been waiting for since the launch of Diablo 3. However, the controversy surrounding this exploit generates a debate about how Blizzard will address these types of issues in the future. Meanwhile, the community continues to explore these new powers, hoping that a solution will arrive soon.
