The console version of Diablo 3 isn't just competent, it's a remixed version of the original game, complete with rebalanced enemies, an improved economy, four player multiplayer on the same screen, no always-on connection requried, no game-killing real money auction house, and an inventory system that allows you to stay in the action while also swapping out your equipment for upgrades you find on the battlefield. Directly controlling your character also changes what was a click-fest into a more measured and intense action title.

The game has been improved in almost all areas, and I can't wait to jump back in to play. In fact, I may spend more time on the console version than the PC original. They refused to talk about the PS4 version of the game, and I was also told that they wouldn't speculate on a Vita port.

Looks dope.

I bought it for PC and played with a few cats from here online. I think we all quit after a month or so.

Wonder if the ps3 will revive it

D3 was fun on pc tho, they just hurt it with not just the AH but the lack of customization on character building

i got a lvl 60 with all classes and i honestly have no interest in playing much anymore :ld: theres just not much incentive

:laff: @ nikkas tryin to clown pc brehs, with a game like diablo 3 :comeon:

for pc, diablo 3 is trash all the way around, with little to no replay value (they duped everyone.) the game was in development for over 10years and over half its player base dropped within the first 6 months :snoop:

i was hyped up, mostly for the PVP aspect, which to date is half-assed. The the fact that the game's basically pay2win is bs. blizz had a slim chance of prolonging it's success but RMAH killed it.

using this against pc brehs is a cheapshot @ best......
