Id play it.
Doesn't sound like much change.
They are gonna keep the console version better so everyone that already bought it on the PC will now also have an incentive to buy it on the console.
I'd consider getting it on PC if they ported the control system so I could use my 360 controller. Dunno why but I prefer a controller for these types of games.
[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;41565893]Doesn't sound like much change.[/QUOTE] On paper it doesn't seem like much, in reality it'll change a fuckton. Not immediately noticable though. But they won't add this on its own. It'll be in an expansion pack at best.
[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;41565893]Doesn't sound like much change.[/QUOTE] yeah it's only got [B]offline mode[/B] and [B]done away with the AH[/B] [sp]did you even read the article[/sp] fuck sake blizz give us these features on PC already
Damn, well Blizzard, you drive a hard bargain. I'll likely be picking this up for PS3.
Meh, unless among those improvements includes "new narrative" I'm not really interested. A lot of people didn't, but I always played Diablo 1 and 2 for their [URL="http://hydra-images.cursecdn.com/diablo.gamepedia.com/2/26/Butchers_room.jpg"]grim[/URL] [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpp3bKo8xn0"]atmosphere[/URL] and cool storytelling in addition to their addictiveness.

I didn't give a rats ass about online play or anything like that and never touched it once
Diablo 1 was even more grim, and both had excellent writing which made the simple story really interesting. [video=youtube;BFSY2M8ZJ18]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFSY2M8ZJ18[/video] Jesus so damn awesome
[QUOTE=Solo Wing;41566636]Damn, well Blizzard, you drive a hard bargain. I'll likely be picking this up for PS3.[/QUOTE] Why would you buy this twice when you could get 20 copies of torchlight 2 instead.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;41567536]Why would you buy this twice when you could get 20 copies of torchlight 2 instead.[/QUOTE]Because you assume I have a copy of diablo 3? I didn't get it because I didn't have a pc that could run it (plus I heard it was bad anyway.) This new version provides me a way to run it, and some really cool sounding changes. I'd love to play this game in co-op with my sister or my dad.
[quote]Diablo 3 on console is [b]slightly better[/b] than the PC version[/quote] [quote=Article]For a start, it can be played without an internet connection[/quote] Only slightly? That's a huge improvement over the PC version.
The PC version is always online to protect the RMAH economy from hackers. The console version doesn't have a RMAH Blizzard regrets creating the RMAH but it would cost blizzard a butt ton to remove the feature
I'm kinda glad I'm not a fan of Diablo, it just seems like if you were you've been getting screwed over pretty hard.

I wish we got that instead of the cheesy audio logs with mediocre story telling in Diablo 3.
I'll actually pick this up, my Ps3's been without much use of late
You know, I could have lived with most of the problems with Diablo 3, but one of the things I initially thought was a good idea, the gold auction house, is what ruined it for me. Not even the RMAH one. Always hearing people taking about the awesome items they bought, and never the ones they found was just awful. Still liked it way better than Torchlight 2 though.
Consolized crap. They ruined Diablo when they made obvious pushes for a console interface and other dumbed down shit late in the D3 beta. I will stick to actually interesting PC releases like Torchlight II and Path of Exile, thanks.
Oh fuck these are some massive changes. Hope they port them over.

[QUOTE=DeEz;41573676]both games are complete jokes especially the latter[/QUOTE] Yeah I know, good gameplay, interesting items, art design and stories, AND they are designed for a keyboard and mouse instead of a fucking limited controller. What a joke right.
[QUOTE=DeEz;41573676]both games are complete jokes especially the latter[/QUOTE] What? Both games are easily better than diablo 3. They made a mess of diablo and Path of Exile is one of the best examples of game design I've seen in a long time
[QUOTE=Elspin;41573966]What? Both games are easily better than diablo 3.

It's just "My numbers are bigger than your numbers look how great these numbers are, I have 34587634857 attack and 985783265 defense" and it sucks. Not to mention the AH just ruined any semblance of respect I had for D3. The dumbing down it clearly suffered for consoles, even in the PC release, such as the horribly limited interface, lack of proper information and options, and more doesn't help either.
[QUOTE=Xion21;41573854]Yeah I know, good gameplay, interesting items, art design and stories, AND they are designed for a keyboard and mouse instead of a fucking limited controller. What a joke right.[/QUOTE] Path of Exile had good gameplay, but the the art style bland and sterile, and the game feel was awful. I don't know about Torchlight 2's gameplay because I never got far enough to get a proper idea before I got bored, but it's artstyle was just the most generic, uninspired sort of cartoony I've seen. I mean, I've like also sorts of artstyles, but it was like the New Super Mario Bros of ARPGs.
Can't be arsed with this game, gave up on it long time ago.

TII being "cartoony" is the only thing people can ever say bad about it, it's not actually childish at all but why would you expect people that pass a judgement that "observant" to actually try playing seriously. Super Mario huh? Didn't know Mario had cultists with tentacles for faces and people that explode into clouds of blood. It's not even a valid criticism it's just stupid to even say. Not to mention both games actually feel way more smooth in control than D3, have far more interesting classes, abilities, and items, and actually neat item types and effects.

[QUOTE=SouthParkMGT;41574234]First Diablo was on PS1. You gonna call it consolized crap too?[/QUOTE] This argument is broken out every single time by someone that thinks they are clever. It isn't clever, because the console release didn't change the PC release. D3 changed fundamentally in late Beta, like the interface being obviously tweaked for a controller.
