Episode 74 - BCG Hall of Fame Showdown

In a few past episodes, we’ve taken a deep dive into games we believe to be Hall-of-Fame levels of quality, talking about what makes them so special. Over the past few weeks, Aaron and I both came to each other with a game that we thought was worthy of the Hall of Fame. The only problem: We weren’t talking about the same game. So in this episode, we are going to sell each other on why our chosen game is worthy of the coveted BCG Hall of Fame nomination.

Episode 29 - BCG Hall of Fame: Diablo III

Diablo III was, and continues to be, one of the most popular games in history. Despite some hiccups early in its lifetime, Blizzard has managed to continually refine the game to truly exhibit some of the most redeeming and exceptional qualities a gamer could desire. In our first entry in the BCG Hall of Fame series covering the best gaming has to offer, Aaron and Chris cover this exceptional example of game design. How did Blizzard capture and hold the attention of so many gamers? How did they listen to their player base to make the game better and better with each new patch? What truly qualifies it to be in our Hall of Fame? There’s so much to discuss! The game assignments segment puts Aaron back on a soapbox with Inside, while Chris describes his time with Dishonored 2.
