Anybody?

demi · « **Reply #1 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:45:30 AM »

I already beat it so I'm not that interested. Maybe when it goes on sale down the road.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #2 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:45:41 AM »

PS3 version should be here at some point today from Amazon.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #3 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:47:11 AM »

I know MAF is getting the PS3 version as well, I think I might try to see if he wants to play some multi

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #4 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:47:44 AM »

I got 360 version, apparently it runs better and thats where my friends are.

I was hoping for some Boreplay too :/

demi · « **Reply #5 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:49:02 AM »

It's just coming out at a bad time for me, sorry. I still havent even bought Saints, yet.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #6 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:51:36 AM »

I'm sure I'll be playing this for a long time.

Rufus · « **Reply #7 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:12:10 PM »

Do you need Gold to play multi on the 360 version?

It doesnt use servers, at least, I dont think so. So it's basically P2P diablo.

Yes

thisismyusername · « **Reply #10 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:20:06 PM »

Even if it used dedicated servers, I doubt MS would waive the Gold fee for online for Blizzard. Gotta get that online play money!

Rufus · « **Reply #11 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:30:26 PM »

Oh well.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #12 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:33:45 PM »

Waiting on reviews of the "Evade" button.

archnemesis · « **Reply #13 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:39:13 PM »

I'd be willing to try the PS4 version if it was added to PS+ or something. The new class sounds interesting and having direct control of your character is always nice.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #14 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:42:58 PM »

You'd have to get the vanilla game plus the expansion in order to play the Crusader, and the console version of Reaper of Souls hasn't even been confirmed. Once it is, it will undoubtedly be released after the pc version.

archnemesis · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:49:24 PM »

Well, it's going to take a while for them to finish up the PS4 version anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if they timed the release together with the console premiere of the expansion.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #16 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:49:46 PM »

Anyone else seen the commercial for this running on TV? I swear I was teleported back to the late 90's.

http://www.twitch.tv/zwuckel Some guy streaming the PS3 version.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #19 on:** September 03, 2013, 03:48:01 PM »

Played it for a bit- chose Wizard, because Wizard. It's pretty fun, but I would recommend using skills like shock pulse until you get the hang of being more exact as a ranged class. You have to redeem the infernal helm code, and it will be available when you start, and the rest of the shit should be in your stash if you got the PS3 version.

If anybody wants to play the PS3 version later this week/weekend, add FaptainMerica. Dat's me.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #20 on:** September 03, 2013, 03:59:21 PM »

How does the evade button work? Just make you walk away from a mob?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #21 on:** September 03, 2013, 04:00:11 PM »

It's the right stick on the PS3; it's basically "do a barrel roll!" and you roll in whichever direction you push.

bork · « **Reply #22 on:** September 03, 2013, 04:07:49 PM »

Does the game have an attack button that can be pressed multiple times for combos?

This seems a lot more console-like than I expected. I'm actually interested in it now.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #23 on:** September 03, 2013, 04:28:07 PM »

As far as I can tell, no. The four shape buttons on the DS3 are mapped to four skill slots, and the two R shoulder buttons are the last two, just like the pc version. Making that big of a change would be a fundamental shift in gameplay design, can't see them doing that. You can still use certain skills to combo with other skills, but it's definitely not what you're thinking.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #25 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:07:05 PM »

So is this now basically Gauntlet Legends Nerdcore Edition? Cause I could get behind that.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #26 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:09:29 PM »

with ACTION EVADE! button.

Yeah. As a non-grafx whoooor, I don't give too much of a crap tho

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #28 on:** September 04, 2013, 03:22:58 AM »

It's not like D3 had amazing graphics, why the downgrade? Seems odd.

archnemesis · « **Reply #29 on:** September 04, 2013, 03:33:06 AM »

You're surprised they had issues porting a 2012 PC game to 2006 hardware?

Reduced FOV and screen tearing are deal breakers to me.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #30 on:** September 04, 2013, 03:51:38 AM »

Its a blizzard game, shit isn't that complex.

archnemesis · « **Reply #31 on:** September 04, 2013, 04:03:31 AM »

Compare it against Dungeon Hunter: Alliance or Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom and you'll see it's plenty complex.

The recommended PC system specs list six times more memory and a more powerful CPU/GPU.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #32 on:** September 04, 2013, 04:30:47 AM »

Maybe, it doesn't LOOK that crazy good though. It just looks ok.

Huff · « **Reply #33 on:** September 04, 2013, 09:55:41 AM »

I'm not sure if I'll play it again, but I'd rather wait for a Ps4 version than this

That's what I've decided to do. Might as well wait and see what they do with the PS4 version. Plus I still have Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen and Dragon's Crown to go through.

FatalT · « **Reply #35 on:** September 04, 2013, 03:35:41 PM »

Decided to play a Demon Hunter instead of a Monk. Level 23 on Act 3!

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #36 on:** September 04, 2013, 05:17:13 PM »

Should I be Barbarian or Monk?

demi · « **Reply #37 on:** September 04, 2013, 05:21:37 PM »

Monk, Barbs are for homos

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #38 on:** September 05, 2013, 01:14:56 PM »

Doh! Sorry to bail on you, FatalT- didn't have my headset on and I have class in a bit. I'll be back on later tonight.

S'okay. I should probably make a new character to play with you. I'm 34 and at the end of Act 1 on Nightmare now.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #41 on:** September 05, 2013, 07:29:06 PM »

ha, yeah I just don't have time to catass and grind like I did with the pc version when it came out

Damian79 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 05, 2013, 09:33:43 PM »

My friend was telling me that the game was so consolised in the port did they really give you 4-5 legendaries by lvl 20?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #43 on:** September 05, 2013, 10:12:42 PM »

I don't think so. I've found one and I'm level 15.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #46 on:** September 06, 2013, 02:10:49 AM »

I haven't gotten any legendaries as quest rewards yet... but I have now gotten four as drops, including TWO from the same elite pack

Console dirtperson edition confirmed.

Back in my day we grinded for 60 hours just to hear a Legendary fart through a walky-talky and we liked it that way.

There is a demo on XBL (and probably PSN) now

FatalT · « **Reply #50 on:** September 13, 2013, 05:15:11 PM »

Level 51 in Hell mode! When are we gonna play this Boreans?

chronovore · « **Reply #51 on:** September 16, 2013, 11:21:56 AM »

My ennui for D3 is near-total. I can't even be bothered to download the demo. What is WRONG WITH ME?

Rufus · « **Reply #52 on:** September 16, 2013, 02:09:35 PM »

What indeed? I was pretty disappointed with D3 but even I am going to check out the demo.

Damian79 · « **Reply #53 on:** September 23, 2013, 12:52:41 AM »

Rufus · « **Reply #54 on:** September 23, 2013, 05:47:31 AM »

tl;dw You get better, and more relevant loot easier and earlier.*

*And there's no harsh defensive and offensive gear-check (unless you chose there to be) which drives you to the AH to play the economy more than you play the game.

It's still "MMO loot", but I guess most people are actually OK with that so long they get their incremental upgrades early enough for the game to not turn into a 90° climbing wall treadmill.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #55 on:** October 22, 2013, 02:16:55 AM »

I fired this up tonight after not playing in a while because I got new glasses today and wanted to see how much better they were than my old prescription (answer: a lot) and got like six legendaries from the 2nd mission in Act 3 through Siegebreaker
