Review: ‘Diablo IV’ has the bones to be a never-ending story

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 18:13:30 GMT

No one ever finishes a video game anymore. The way projects are made and planned out, players can never be really done with an adventure. Games, especially those made by Blizzard, are entities that change and evolve over time. You don’t complete Blizzard games, you live with them for however long the content interests you or your wallet allows.That’s what fans will face with “Diablo IV.” It’s an enormous game that takes the franchise’s signature hack-and-slash dungeon dives and envisions them in an open world. The Sanctuary that players step into is expansive and traveling through it is seamless as players explore the continent through the campaign’s six chapters.THE STORY SO FAR …In a way, this entry is almost like a reboot. It starts 50 years after the explosive finale of “Diablo III,” and in a way, it serves as a clean slate telling a new chapter, one in which the title villain takes back seat to the new big bad — ...

Frontier Airlines hits turbulence, ranked last in U.S. amid rancor around flights

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 18:13:30 GMT

Denver-based Frontier Airlines has hit more turbulence for troubles that, despite relatively low fares, have shaken relations with travelers.A new analysis of the nation’s 10 major airlines ranked Frontier last, citing high rates of “bumping” passengers involuntarily off flights, customer complaints, and fees for bags and changed flights. This seventh-annual report found that all airlines deteriorated in their performance with overall complaints increasing in 2022 by 87%. But Frontier’s reported data from 2022 showed that company gate agents denied boarding for more than 6,000 passengers against their wishes, an average of more than 16 every day and roughly 1 out of every 3,752 travelers, according to the report by “The Points Guy,” a travel information website. And Frontier led also in the rate of complaints with 22.6 for every 100,000 travelers in 2022 — more than twice the number of complaints reported by Spirit, the second-to-last carrier in that category.Atlanta-based Delta Air...

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 18:13:30 GMT

PARIS (AP) — Daniil Medvedev was seeded No. 2 at the French Open. Coming off a clay-court title a little more than a week ago, too. Plus, he already owns one Grand Slam trophy and was a finalist three other times.And his opponent Tuesday in the first round at Roland Garros? Well, Thiago Seybolt Wild, a 23-year-old from Brazil, is ranked just 172nd and was playing only his second match in the main draw of any major tournament. He needed to win three matches in qualifying rounds last week just to make it into the men’s bracket — something he’d failed to do on eight previous attempts at Slams.Sometimes, the numbers just don’t matter. Nor does past experience. The winner of a tennis match tends to be whoever was better that day, no matter how surprising that might be.Seybolt Wild looked very much like he belonged on Court Philippe Chatrier, hitting big forehands and keeping his nerve down the stretch to oust Medvedev 7-6 (5), 6-7 (8), 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.“I mean, I’ve watched Daniil play for ...
