Best Video Game Easter Eggs

DOOM had been hibernating for far too long, and Bethesda and id Software knew that it was time for the Doom Guy to awaken from his slumber in a literal fashion. DOOM (2016) didn’t try and reinvent the character, but instead brought him back as the Doom Slayer, a man who fears no Hell, for he has conquered it. The Doom Slayer rips, tears, and kills demons like a hobby , just like he did way back in 1993’s original DOOM g

World of Warcraft is in a unique position to have a monthly subscription still serve as a viable model after failing so many other MMOs. Their expansions also demand purchase and serves to literally gate characters in old content and ten levels lower.


Similar to Rocket League , Overwatch is a game you can play with your friends in short bursts or in long hauls while trying to rank up. Have ten minutes to waste while you’re waiting for your favorite show to start? Why not jump into a social game and try out a new hero you’ve never used before. Looking for something more hardcore? Pick your best hero, put on a headset, and take a seat as you play match after match with friends trying to rank up while you call out enemy locati


Players that roam the Mojave Wasteland might stumble upon an opened fridge, with skeletal remains inside. This skeleton holds an outfit similar to Indiana Jones, including a fedora, showing that the famed archaeologist couldn’t try the fridge trick when it came to the Atomic War of Fall


As well as this, Blizzard should also keep the heroes of the old games in mind. A new roster of playable characters would be great, but the potential to unlock the likes of the Necromancer in-game would add a new way to keep players engaged, perhaps by completing specific criteria like in Super Smash Bros. such as a certain number of hours playing or beating the game on specific difficulty lev


From here, players will explode a small area filled with Hell Bovines, which, despite their namesake, are just bipedal cows with axes. It’s a hilarious easter egg, and the fact that players have to fight for their lives against cows and a Cow King just shows why people enjoy these R

Reading the above ideas about Diablo 4 classes 4 may come off as pessimistic, but again, the point is to consider how a design for the next game would look with a revenue model that would satisfy Blizzard’s expectations, and that of its shareholders. Gone are the days of putting out a game with a single DLC pack and calling it a day. Blizzard, and many others, seek to produce games as a service, and Diablo 3 simply did not cut it. Let us cross our fingers and hope for the best, that Diablo 4 both meets our expectations and Blizzard’s - though it’s hard to imagine such an ideal landing spot for the next game.


Sneaking around a map with a few teammates to gather resources while the others act as a decoy are the types of tactics that are necessary in the multiplayer modes. Holding out as the last two members of your team in the Survivors mode and having to work together to come up with a strategy is exactly what The Last of Us ’ multiplayer is all ab


Finding a compromise or even a hybrid of the two would be a great way to satisfy the fan base. Skill trees that allow players to pick individual skills or pick an automatic template that makes the choices for them, even introducing the skill trees again but with a respec/reset option would be a great middle ground for f


Diablo Immortal could include heavy emphasis on microtransactions if it follows the mobile game path (and it's what its developer NetEase is known for), and Diablo 4 should be the opposite. In effect, Diablo 4 should be kept honest, with an emphasis on the gameplay and bringing players back not through cheap tricks, but through enjoyable gameplay and an intense sense of replayabil


It’s important to note that the length should be a result of a long and engaging story, not ridiculous grinds in order to progress or because it takes that long to explore the world. It should stay linear, but dive into more locations, more meaningful quests, and show the player growing gradually over t


Also having a mechanic that allows the player to store items on the pet/minion or even send them back to camp to drop off the goods would keep players in the grind and be a great quality of life improvement to the ser

Finally, Blizzard could also release new classes at halfway points between each expansion. They could start with a basic set of five classes, much like the release of Diablo 3 , and then add our old favorites again, including the Necromancer, 8.motion-design.Org.ua Druid, Paladin/Crusader, Amazon, and whatever other fan-favorite classes would ensure another purchase. Unlike expansions, these would not be mandatory, but few would pass up a new class in their favorite game!


Having first played the original Garden Warfare because of a recommendation from a friend, I went into the game expecting little. Dozens of matches later, and the games unique art style and addicting gameplay had us playing through the night. Garden Warfare 2 takes everything the first game does and cranks it to
