Diablo III PS3/360 |OT| Bringing Hell to consoles
- Thread starter Yoshichan
- Start date
Haven't seen anything. Honestly, I think it's worth it on current gen consoles. Then again, I wanted a tease of loot 2.0
If you already played it on PC then waiting for the PS4 version seems like the way to go. It should hopefully have the expansion included.

You didn't notice it on the PC because it didn't EXIST on the PC.
This is one of the great new features of the console version.
And most people should be doing new game+ into the next difficulty mode.
Thanks man. Also, I have a templar with me now and I chose his first power as heal. Does he do it automatically or can I make him do it?
All Follower skills are automatic.

Ah, yes, t'was at the boss indeed.
Also, my first legendary find, halleluyah! That 30% magic find will hopefully help me find many, many more. Was worried I'll have the shittiest of luck again, as I tend to do - or that they've patched it with that suspicious 3MB day-one patch.

Obviously this is not officially confirmed or anything, but I found it up for pre-order for X1 at Argos:

Drop difficulty, kill and move on.
What class are you?
Don't stand in fire
You can outrange both attacks with ease, just time your movements
Also use pots and cauldrons when in need
The Xbox One version still hasn't been announced, so some sort of timed next-gen exclusivity seems likely.

Level 50. Hell time. Legendaries are dropping a much higher clip now. Catching up to Yoshi. Monk is about 10k dps.

Stupid question time. How do you wield your axes and swords? ( 360 version ). Do I have to assign it or something? Thanks
It's probably time announcement exclusivity. I would bet that the Xbox One version comes day and date with PS4 version, they just haven't announced it yet.
The only real question is whether the next gen versions will come out with the expansion stuff. Now that would be good stuff. I would honestly not even buy the expansion on PC and just go straight to the next gen versions.

Well after hitting level 27 last night on my Barbarian and defeating Belial a few things I noticed compared to the PC version relating to its first month of release.
I have the PS3 version and the first and obvious things I noticed graphically is the image quality and the color's seem a bit more saturated. I noticed stuff like physics was maintained really well. It's just the bodies disppear faster. I will say that I played a Barbarian all the way up to Act 3 Inferno on the PC version and I am really impressed with how Blizzard was able to maintain the "Feel" of Diablo 3's gameplay. Also using a controller it is obviously more relaxing yet I feel like I have direct control on my character. And overall the game feels much more fluid with a controller in hand. The framerate seems to be consistent from my experience. Occasionally there will be a bad screen tear, but it is no frequent enough to get in the way of my enjoyment. Also I am impressed with how fast loading times are considering I am using the Disc version of game.
I am really suprised by how frequent legendaries are. I have gotten a total of 10 legendaries to drop. And I am only level 27 at the begining of Act 3 on normal. I also noticed that Blacksmithing seems more viable this time around. Considering there is no AH to play on (which is a good thing). Overall though I am having a fucking blast with D3. I quit playing the PC version back in June because of how much of a clusterfuck it was. All the tweaks Blizzard did with the console version really impressed me.
I played the PC version extensively so I move pretty damn fast and effectively when it comes to clearing dungeons. So if any of you Gaffers need someone to help you understand the gameplay mechanics or want a seasoned veteran to clear dungeons with just send me a friend request on PSN. My PSN id is Helscream and if you can state that you are from neogaf so I dont think you a random person.

What class are you? Not all classes actually use their weapon.

That's one of the reasons I got the 360 version now. I can play thru it all this year, and then (if I love the game) I can get the PS4 version and hopefully the expansion in 2014.
If Blizzard wanted to make maximum profit then they would try to get all console version and PC version of Reaper of Souls on the same day or same week at least. The console version of D3 is gaining a lot of traction and they would be smart to capitalize on the momentum by releasing the expansion on the consoles sooner rather than later.
I do not think so. The best order for Blizz is D3 PC, D3 Consoles (currently considered most fun), D3ROS PC (the new king of fun with new stuff and new class, to get everyone in), then at least half a year or a year later, D3 ROS Consoles.
You do not want to alienate 12 million D3 users by releasing the expansion for them at the same week. Many would choose to only buy it for consoles, not for pc.
Not gonna happen, imho.

Yeah, then you won't be using the axes and swords you pick up in the strictest sense. They are just stat sticks for you.
It starts pretty slow, at least for me, then the drops just start. Probably towards level 15 and later.

Level 12 wizard now. Its almost 11pm now and I think I've played about 5 hours since getting home from work today. Game is amazingly addictive.

A lot. That's pretty much the opening boss of the act.You'll have 2 more bosses before the Act boss, and with any luck lots of random dungeons on the way there..
Thats excellent. I need to go buy another controller to get my son in on the fun!!
I'm lvl 10 Wizard, my wife started a demon hunter, but I was interested in a Monk. Sre they fun to play?
Increased exp, magic find and gold find when it's over Master I (the equiv of mp6). Normal and Hard have no differences in regards to exp/mf/gf.
Only at Master I to Master V does it have an effect on drops. Easy/Medium/Hard is just for the challenge but Master I is when you get the magic find/gold find/EXP bonuses.
The game does not have 12 million users playing the game now, not even close. Most people who bought the game day 1 aren't even playing it anymore and some are in fact playing the console version.
Releasing the expansion day and date on PC/console does not alienate anyone. Yea sure, PC people can get Loot 2.0, Loot runs and Paragon 2.0 first through the patch and they can have the beta as well but I think Blizzard stands to gain more from releasing it all at the same time. It will build much more hype.
The fact that Loot 1.5 is released first on console along with stuff like Nephalem Glory and scaling Legendaries is already an action that alienated the PC fans. Quite a few people are not happy with it and have stopped playing the PC version because of it.
Thank god, I was like what is the point? I missed my real MP ... so happy to hear Master actually effects magic find / gold find. Ty for info.

How do you do this? I just chose "normal" in difficulty, I didn't see anything about monster power or anything?
It IS MP2 and MP4 in terms of difficulty but not in terms of bonuses.
Monster Power is what it's called on the PC version. Try to start a main quest and you will see difficulty options going from Easy/Medium/Hard to Master I to Master V. Here's what it looks side to side:
Console / PC
Easy / MP0 (Default setting)
Medium (no bonuses) / MP2 (bonuses awarded)
Hard (no bonuses) / MP4 (bonuses awarded
After this point it's supposed to be identical for console and PC version just with different names:
Master I / MP 6
Master II / MP 7
Master III / MP8
Master IV / MP9
Master V / MP10
The two major difference in difficulty at Inferno is that Monster Affixes on console version are at max 3 when they are max 4 on PC version. Plus there is more mob density on the PC version at higher MP levels.
They are. But if you check stat screen, there's no bonus like PC with regards to exp/mf/gf. I found out after doing normal for two hours. Supposedly, you still gain density in Inferno, but it's still minimal from what it seemed when I ran Normal Inferno throughout acts 2-4.
PC will get expansion first, consoles I would say 6 months or even later. They want that double dip $$$. They already got it with the console version, they will do it with the expansion also I think.
same here. entangling shot, chain gang, rapid fire, caltrops. working great for me at the moment. level 13 here. so far i only have trouble with the really fast leapers and the occasional idiotic move like getting hit by poison or those big insect things that are electrified. actually got one hitted by the tree (wood something or other) because i was just checking out how cool it was. pow, poison and death. oops.
