Diablo III Battle Chest

Back in 2012, a whole twelve years after the previous franchise instalment, Blizzard unleashed Diablo III upon the world. It was everything the fans wanted, and more.

Or at least, that’s what people had hoped for. Diablo III, while still good, was riddled with all sorts of niggles that many weren’t too fond of. An auction house? Error 37? Those and other issues watered down an otherwise solid package.

Thankfully, Blizzard rectified things. Nearly two years later, they launched the Reaper of Souls expansion. It turned Diablo III into a stellar title, the game it should’ve originally been, with a slew of wholesome improvements.

The expansion did present a problem for those who missed the original Diablo III boat however. You see, to get full value, they couldn’t just purchase Reaper of Souls – they’d need the base game too. Buying both wasn’t exactly cheap.

It is now though, thanks to the new Diablo III Battle Chest:

This holiday season, gather your friends and prepare for the defense of the mortal realms . . . the Diablo III PC Battle Chest is available now at a new low price of €29.99! The Battle Chest includes both Diablo III and the Reaper of Souls expansion, together at last in one definitive volume.

I know €29.99 isn’t pocket change (R437,40* or so at time of writing) but considering how awesome Diablo III is (with Reaper of Souls of course), I’d say the Battle Chest is well worth the cash. You’re looking at dozens of hours of pure action RPG bliss, and a grindy addiction that you’ll find very difficult to kick!

Hell, now’s as good a time as any to get lost in Diablo III. What with the original game being ported in, and a new class on the horizon, there’s a lot to look forward to, over and above the already excellent existing content.

*omg four hundred and error thirty seven Rand!

    I just can’t wait to run around as a Necromancer.

    What is this Ërror 37″ you speak of? I played directly after midnight launch and have still not seen it.

      I had very little time with PoE on my old laptop. And even then, I thought it was the game that Diablo 3 should have been. And from what I hear, it’s only gotten better with all the expansions.

        Yeah man. This last expansion made the end game so much more fun. And they’re releasing Act 5 in March.

          Maaaaaan, wish I could get back into it again. But it’s PC only and my old laptop always struggled so badly to run it.
          My friends still while their time away with Diablo 3, but I’ve gotten so bored of it. Whenever they talk about getting together to jam, I’m always the asshole asking the question,” Awww, do we HAVE to?”

    Is this also one of those jobs where you pay to play like WOW? I mainly play shooters, but this looks interesting and I see the Xbox One version has both as well.

          Jump on the free weekend next week and try it out. Loads of fun and even more fun if you have a group to play together.

            Good game that, all of them in fact.

            Played a good total remake mod for it a while ago, lost a few months to that game (again)

            I wasted the WHOLE year on The Division and Rainbow Six Siege. Geez. I have written some of my backlog off, deciding that games I just had to have at a stage, need to go to Gumtree rather than mock me from afar.

          • Ottokie

            November 10, 2016 at 14:57

            You spent a whole year in Division… why?

            I will see if some of my Division mateys play it. Otherwise I will just make new mateys. LOL. Its getting harder and harder to corrupt online friends.

            Will rather just buy the game than waste time downloading 12gig, wasting playtime.
