There are always a number of things people worry about when it comes to a PC game hitting consoles, but from what has been shown off thus far, Diablo III is looking like it will be setting up quite nicely for the PlayStation 3.
Perhaps one of the biggest concerns people may have with Diablo III on consoles is the game's menus. They can be handled one way on PC, but how they are implemented on a console is completely different. This is an area that could've been a deal-breaker for the game if people the developers didn't work it out.
We also had the chance to check out the four-player co-op experience.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
marketing gimmicks. save your money for something deserving, this game is not worth it.
I'll definitely play it on my PS3. For me Torchlight 2 and D3 isn't an either/or situation, I plan on playing both. I love my dungeon crawler, lootfest, Gauntlet-style games.
I am excited about playing this game on console. I have questions though. Given PS4/XboxOne's significant increase in online functionality, (PS4 especially) is it better to wait until the next gen version of the game? I don't know of all the current information available to regarding Diablo III on console, but one would assume that some sort of carry over would happen if I were to buy both. I could very well end up buying both. Diablo on consoles CAN be done. My memories of the first game in the series are more fond of playing it on PSX than PC. Going to a friend's house to kick back and play couch coop was more entertaining than locally saved online characters with massive collections of ears because the character save was hacked to *bleep* and go around "pk"ing everyone.
I think I'll pass on this one. Already played it on the pc and it's a bit of a disappointment. Diablo 2 is still a better game.
Stay away from Diablo 3...bad game
