IgiTang · 09-03-2013, 09:56 AM

I searched for an existing thread and came up with too may posts on Diablo but no threads... So, figured I would start a new one.

Since my ship crashed into another ship on the open ocean the other day, im able to be home and play some Diablo 3 today. I will be picking up my copy in 1 hr.

Wondering if anyone else on CP is grabbing a copy and will be playing.

Hit me up if you are. My psn is my same CP username.

I have it on PC but i'm curious what its like on Console. Since I cant rent it I will buy it for 360 and see what its like. Grabbing it after work.

Misterpants · 09-03-2013, 10:04 AM

Going to grab it as well. Is there any indication which console it will be better for?

Is PvP out yet?

I didnt even know they were doing a PVP. Will it be a 1vs1 thing or what?

PsYcNeT · 09-03-2013, 10:19 AM

Who knows. I literally bought Diablo 3 on promises of PvP, and have 5 maxed characters with amazing gear ready to roll whenever Blizzard deems us worthy of PvP.

Muffins · 09-03-2013, 10:20 AM

No PvP for a while at least. They are still "experimenting" with it.

Raekwon · 09-03-2013, 10:21 AM

PvP isn't even announced for the Xpac. I wouldn't hold my breath

Yeah and I haven't even touched the game in a year

Let me know how it goes. I know the PC launch had tons of issues with people logging in, hoping it's all good for console.

Summary: XBox 360 if you want maximum performance.

I think I may get it for the 360. My name is "Captainslow".

Depends what you mean by PvP. You can dual.

Rathji · 09-03-2013, 01:18 PM

Can you trio?

Huntingwhale · 09-03-2013, 03:00 PM

I've been playing it for a couple days now on 360. I never really played the PC version before, but as someone who is pretty much new to the series, you can't even tell it's been ported over. The graphics are great. But most importantly, the controls feel seamless and respond well. 4 player mode should be a blast.

I'll be playing this one for a while I think.

Rathji · 09-03-2013, 03:11 PM

So can you play cross platform?

Because if you can, it might actually make me want to pick it up so I can play with my nephew.

Since1984 · 09-03-2013, 04:00 PM

Picking it up today after work for 360...Ever since Baldurs Gate for the Xbox I have been waiting for a new multi-player hack n' slash type RPG on console. I have more fun with these than any other multi-player game on console.

Pre-ordered like a mega nerd too so I got the bonus helm lol

Once they changed the skill system to force you to only have four on at a time made it a perfect fit for console controls. It's nice to hear that the graphics are good. I think that the Real Money Auction House really ruined the PC version.

I don't even think you need to pre-order it for the helm. I went to EB Games and I just bought one and on the box it says it has the helm.

no

From the release on the expansion I dont think think pvp will coming anytime soon. There's going to be a paladin class and a new act with death as the new megaboss. Really wish they would fix the ah though. I have three maxed characters and they're all 10-20 Paragon. I need my pc back.
