My Review for Angry Centaur Gaming - Review

Pros:
Gameplay of course
Skill variety - insane
Enemy variety and appearance
Very tactical at higher difficulty
Co-op mods

Cons:
So so graphics (lots of aliasing)
Loot is wonky at times
The switch to thumbsticks is NOT perfect with some issues in tight battles
Story is poor
Voice acting is poor

Are you the reviewer from NeoGAF who does wayy too many references during his videos?>

So I'm at PAX today and played a bit if the PS3 version. Overall pretty fun, and direct control really makes the game feel different in a good way.

The demo was played in coop with one other person. I played a monk and my friend a demon hunter. The area we played was around The Highlands and Leorics Hunting Ground. I didn't notice any screen tearing during our play session, though I did lose track of my character a bit since the game no longer centers to just me. It took close to no time at all to get used to the controls and reassigning abilities was pretty quick too. Overall I felt it was a pretty great experience.

Seems the reviews are pretty on point with the fun factor and how it feels like the definitive version. I didn't get any legendaries during my playtime, but most if the gear that was dropping was definitely suited to BOTH my monk and my friends demon hunter, and not because they are both DEX star classes.

It was kind if awesome just running around ninja looting everything. Felt nostalgic.

Holy shit @ this belt!

Some of the Legendaries that were crap before are going to be godlike now. A Belt that gives you main stat, crit chance, crit damage, attach speed AND movement speed? Fucking godlike.

Has anyone played 4-player online yet? I'm wondering how that performs.

Also that belt has me wondering: has anyone confirmed if the equipment movement speed bonus is still capped at 25% or not?

The loot is still boring, no matter how much stat numbers are inflated. Hardly of them do anything interesting that you can make a unique build around. I guess that's when the real 2.0 system will come into play when they update the PC version.

I I saw somewhere that some of this guy's drops were "hacked", however that happens.

I really wanted to wait because i have a feeling that character transfer to PS4 won't happen. Yeah, they say it's "possible" but no confirmation which worries me but i have to house sit and watch my niece for 3 weeks and she has terrible internet so i need something to do.

I hope it's good.

I got an official review copy.

Not sure about the others but lately, last 2-3 years, stores have been shattering the release dates. I mean there are even forums based entirely around getting them early and where to go and what to do.

Yep review copies went out. I've got one as well. I've been taking my time with reviews though. Not rushing during this crazy release schedule. I JUST got my XCOM review done and posted in the official thread with a stack of Rayman Legends, Diablo 3, One Piece Pirate Warriors 2, Lost Planet 3, Killer is Dead, and Amnesia A Machine for Pigs... waiting for play/review time. I know a lot of folks try to go for, the quickest/first reviews for more views, but I can't handle that. Not for me.

I've been so torn on which version to get, but I think the possibility of transfering my character might have just sealed the deal for me. PS3 version, here I come. Hopefully it isn't vastly inferior to the 360 version.

My dilemma. I'm strapped....what with ps4, KZ, AC:blackflag & GTA5 already paid ....I want this game!!!

So I platted dragons crown and feel done with Last of Us....even though I bought the season pass. Latest patch & new mode made me feel like I'm done. (I'm lvl 103....played it tons)

But I love me loot games - but never played a diablo game! How much actual control is involved on ps3? Sounds like you point your chracter and hit attack and wait until dodge is required. Am I getting that right?

Sounds great regardless.

Quick question for anyone playing the console version so I can decide on playing it, how's the leveling speed compared to PC? And are there unids, I've noticed rares are already IDed, but wasn't sure about legendaries.

edit: Apparently legendaries are unid at least

Anyone else psyched for offline Hardcore mode? Or even HC couch coop with a friend who doesn't suck?

Wish there was a ladder system for D3. We can save our characters to a flash drive, right? Someone smarter than me should start ladder site, crack the PS3/Xbox character saves, and let people upload their characters for tracking. Go.

I am actually hyped about the loot differences in the console version vs PC. It's a different more casual audience and it seems like the loot is designed with that in mind. Not for people who play for 100s or 1000s of hours to find that one amazing piece. Find more powerful items more often to keep players excited and feeling powerful.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Tomorrow is D3 day :D! Excitement!!
