yeah makes sense Sony got hacked once "can't trust em" lol

I got like 5 free games after they regained control. I think it was good for them to get hacked because i got free games out of it.

Considering the UI and the 8 button limit on spells it was already obvious before the PC launch that
it's coming to consoles.

Now just wait for new Diablo releases every 6 months for 60 dollars each.

I played diablo on release and never touched it again and i think it was a decent game, but the point this guy makes in that thread actually does make some sense

I guess console owners deserve a chance to be crushingly disappointed too.

I doubt a port is that much of a drain on their other games' dev teams

As long as they make it for the PC FIRST then and consoles SECOND, you won't have the issue that Halo and CoD have with shitty computer graphics.

The issue isn't with graphics but the controls - PC games are usually developed for keyboard and/or mouse and console games for controllers. Ports from console to PC are usually very clumsy when played on a keyboard/mouse (Devil May Cry series leaps to my mind, as a reason I bought an xbox controller to my PC). By the way, Skyrim was developed for both consoles and PC and it shows - the controls on PC are very console-y (the inventory alone, compare it with Oblivion's) and I actually found it better playable with a gamepad.

And now we know the reason why D3 is sooooooo fucking atrocious.

You know I really liked it and put well over one hundred and fifty hours into it, sure, it has some problems but I think it was a really solid title and a reasonable continuation of Diablo's story, albeit with some all too easily predicted 'twists'.

As for the announcement itself... well its 'good' I guess, but I personally thing its a bit late in the day to bother with releasing it on console, seems like something that should have been done sooner probably?

I actually think D3 makes a lot more sense as a console game.

Honestly the whole "pick up a controller, kill some things, quit" makes a lot more sense on a console.

Read the thread, agree 110% with what hes saying.


It's sad when PC games are developed with Console Kiddies in mind. When was the last time we had an AWESOME PC exclusive game? shit... we're lucky to get the scraps of the shitty games that they release for consoles, then port to PC just to try to make a few extra bucks off of Steam/Origin/Whatever

RMAH = silly people buying things they can earn and a smart person making money while playing a game. I don't get the whining behind the RMAH seriously you get to make money while playing a video games.

Not surprised by that. Battle.net 2.0 is pretty much made for consoles. Auto join, lack of chat/social features, no named host games. Yep. At least the botting won't be as bad. Well if you really want to bot that means you better have a lot of PS3/4s rofl.

This pretty much....and cross buy PLEASE!

No way in hell will Activision ever let Blizzard agree to cross-buy. Their entire business model is milking franchises.

Just my personal opinion, but this doesn't seem like something to celebrate. >_>

No big surprise.
Remember this?

D3 is crappy on the PC, its not gonna be any better on a console. Don't see the point to this.
