Title: Xbox One: Diablo III anyone?
Post by: Michael on Fri, 22 August 2014, 23:30:59
I switched to playing D3 on the console, strictly due to the amount of clicking involved and me needing to save my hands from CTS.


Hit me up in a PM if you do :)

I'll play with you if you sponsor the console ;)

I still need to try DIII.  I hear it's better now.

Much better with the patches.

I still can't believe they botched D3...  Seriously.. this must've been the easiest money grab EVER...


All they had to do was make the exact same game as D2... but pretty... that's all they had to freakin' do...

You are several patches late with this comment. It pretty much is what it was supposed to be once they dumped the RMAH and fixed loot.


My only complaint is the lack of PvP that was promised before launch. Other than that, I love it.

Tbh I find the current live patch to be a bit too easy. You can get a fully endgame char in less than 50 hrs no problem. Looking forward to ladders the PTR is quite interesting.

I play D3 on PC from time to time since the beginning and I always thought it was weird that people would get the console version when they had a PC but I found out how much more easy it was to cheat on console. Not hating :) in fact I think this article I found on Team Liquid is very entertaining and relevant :p

How do the controls work on the console? It would seem to me that it'd be rough to play. Is it "point and click" still? Or does the analog drive movement? How do you aim casting?

I'm going to have to watch a review or something. It seems highly illogical to me.

Negative on all fronts. The UI is highly useable, and intuitive. I thought the same things when moving from PC to console, but Blizzard did an amazing job of building the UI from the
ground up. In some cases, it's actually better on the console (at least in my experience). You just need to try it to understand. Having played on the PC for years, I can say with certainty
that I wish they did this long ago.

I just watched a few brief clips of the UI and it looks like they did a marvelous job with it. However, I think I'll be sticking with the PC. I don't do paid subscriptions for online gaming platforms right now. The Xbox 360 Live! stuff was pretty good for me back in the day, but I've just found that playing with anonymous people (for the majority of the time) is not my cup of tea. You can only hear a 12-year-old kid question your sexuality so many times in a day, after all.

Yeah, that's the one thing I never understood - why didn't blizz just link all platforms to Battle.net? That would have been amazing.
