@JoMadBro?: Have You played new XCOM? - every complex PC game prepared for multiplatform ceases to be complex at some point of development. As I mentioned earlier - there is hard cap on how complex can console game be and it's nowhere near to PC only games' usual complexity.

It amuses me how Jo hates on D3. Blizzard already in the beta phase revealed that they were working on the D3 console version, so how is this news to anyone? It was NEVER a PC exclusive.

Mel: Blizzard have several games released on consoles, why do you think this one will hurt the PC platform?

D3 was awful. It almost felt like a port already, so colour me not surprised.
DeadlySinner
about 11 years ago
The issue is not that a PC exclusive is coming out on console (we have plenty of those.) The issue is that Blizzard likely dumbed down D3 so that they could port it to consoles. I don't particularly care, since I will likely never play this game.
Croaker
about 11 years ago
@.: Yeah and those can do two things alltogether. Play games and play multimedia. And they age pretty badly. Not to mention complexity cap all console games have. General disappointment with Diablo 3 is even more understandable when the cat of it being prepared as console portable is out of the bag

@.: PS3 originally cost over 500 dollars, and i couldent emulate SNES games on it, an extra 200 bucks to emulate classic games kinda outsells, even if your a blu-ray player

I prefer to imagine PC-dono sitting on his throne, waving a scepter around in anger. PC is an old platform, and has known the pain wrought by faithless publishers many times over. Blizzard may follow the money as they please, but the PC is too wise to go putting on a wifebeater and yelling about it.

"Xbox 360 consoles are on par with notebook computers..." My "notebook computer" (which is even only a replacement for my main pc when I am not at home) told me that it is extremely insulted to be compared to a sucky XBOX like an superior athlete to a fat kid.

Not enough buttons for all the hotkeys on a controller, I don't like analogue sticks compared to a mouse and I did mention chat-program and web-browsers. I think it'll be a while until I see a mouse-and-keyboard-based Console.

Anonymoose

Aerion, you don't have to wait much longer. Xbox 360 consoles are on par with notebook computers and already have 90% of what you're looking for.

The days of the PC exclusive are almost over, the PC is dead, dead from its heydey in the late 90s.
Aerion
about 11 years ago
As for consoles vs. PCs... I'll switch over to Consoles when I can have my music, my net-browsers, and my chat-programs on there at the same time as my games.
Ideally they'd also have modular parts for repair and customization.
So, I'll switch over when consoles are identical to PCs, but cheap.
Aerion
about 11 years ago
A game that was already on the PC, and was generally disliked in the first place, is coming out for the Console and people actually care?

I'll care when Diablo 4 is PS5-exclusive, but not before then.

Eh. Tried a demo of diablo 3 back when it first came out. Rather hated it, and kinda forgot it existed after the whole real money auction house thing calmed down until now.

So, to finalize...I do not consider consoles a cheaper alternative, they just want to make you believe so.
woah
about 11 years ago
that often do not let the games be available to multiple platforms. Thus if you want a certain kind of variety, you would be forced to more than one consoles.
Last but not least, there are the game prices, and the lack of high quality f2p games on consoles...
woah
about 11 years ago
@.: Yeh, but nowadays you kind of need to have a computer anyways (maybe, I admit, this is changing in the tab/smartphone society) to work with etc.
So you will have a basic cost here anyways for your PC.

Furthermore, there are what, 3 or 4 major players in the console industry
no.

[url=#user_comment_256039]@Ninj77[/url]: That is She-ablo, the final form of the eponymous Diablo from Diablo 3. "Path" refers to Path of Exile, an MMO Dungeon Crawler that many have gravitated to because Diablo 3 was shit on release and has stayed as such.

I haven't paid attention to any of the Sony presentation, but I knew this was about multiplatform Diablo soon as I saw "whore".

Ohhh the tears. Yes.

I'm not sure why people are excited for a game that's been out for a year. Everyone who's wanted it already has it.

But hey, at least it wasn't as bad as Square Enix's "reveal" of the same thing they showed at last E3.

[url=#user_comment_255933]@woahh[/url]: The consoles are there to be a dedicated computer. Sure you can have a supercomputer to run your games (That's my preference, honestly) but you need, what, a good $700 for a decent computer? Little less if you're building it from scratch. Consoles are cheap but just as effective.

I found the announcement to be... completely and utterly droll. Though in comparison to "There is a PS4, Buzzwords attack" to "this is a game we are porting to PS3/4" it is more interesting. However I am still looking forward to watchdogs for a hopeful PC port.
(Also Square's bit was bad.)
