Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition |OT| Loot has never looked this good before!

No cross-play.
This is probably because the versions have a lot of differences (the PS3 version is limited in a lot of technical aspects). Also the lack of patch support on the old versions is an obvious problem for playing together as the game gets older.

Ha ha "owned" you remind me of the late 90's.
go through this thread and count how many times a PC gamer has said this game was meant to be played with a controller, or how much fun they're having being able to move freely, come back and try to resume your talk about quick swaps. It's about gameplay, not item management, the extra seconds in the iten management screen won't kill anyone.
As for the paragraph after you wished me good day..don'tnobodycareaboutallthat

I honestly didn't know about spell aiming and the like, played through vanilla om console and made due, but especially for mobs I can definitely see the advantage there. I can agree Blizzard did make the best decisions they could for the port, what we get is way better than no getting a port at all.

Picking this up after work today, so excited!
On a side note: hey digital owners, how seamless was the pre-load and unlocking process? I haven't used it for a game yet but will be when Infamous: First Light hits next week.
Was there any problems and did you have to do anything to unlock it? Or was it just playable the minute it released?

As a PC gamer with a million hours into D2 and D3, I wouldn't say these games were "made" to be played with a controller, but I'm definitely loving the controller gameplay (was my biggest hangup on the PS4 version after not playing the PS3 version). I think it controls beautifully and if I had to pick, I'd probably opt for the controller.

I just called Amazon they said that they were having problems with getting the codes from the vendor (Sony).
Thanks, saw that I just didn't know exactly why it was so large until I saw posts about extra languages being included too. If I go digital, could I delete unnecessary language files and cut half of that file size down?
It was absolutely flawless, my download started some time in the afternoon and was finished in a few hours. I started playing at 0:00 night time, only seconds after it was automatically unlocked.
I think if I had picked almost any other class I'd be quite alright with the controls. As a Wizard, the snap targeting is super annoying with a controller though. I wish I could turn it off. I'll probably level something simpler next and see how it goes.
Yeah, Kiyo a few posts ago actually made a similar point. Beam attacks hit the most targets when you can aim them between mobs (as you hit more targets), but this isn't possible on console because it snaps to a target. You also can't quick turn when channeling a spell for some reason I do not understand at all (on PC when channeling you can instantly turn around without ending your channel, on console you spin in a slow circle). Makes no sense whatsoever.
Again though, yeah, blizz did an awesome job with the port so it's not a big deal. Just preference.
Mang been around is just as old, don't really care I was being faceitous but you keep eating all the bait.
So should I dredge the official forums, diablo fans other other forums showing people ragging on the console input in a useless attempt to appeal to popularity? I have plenty of fun with certain classes especially the demon hunter or barb which I'd rather use them on a console than pc.
Also you will die if you try that on a high torment cause if you use nemesis bracers and can't run the elites tend spawn on you gg if they have electrify or other affixes on them and you happen to be a witch doctor, wizard, or demon hunter you will dead quickly. Rather how about you try that out and show us that or use armgaurds during a conduit pylon by the time you switch it bonus would be gone. This is a gameplay issue and oddly enough item management is part gameplay it's a rather huge part.
Its shows mang and I hope a mod sees that reference for what it is.

Hahaha, same here. Me and my wife are currently playing Adventure mode on PC with our Lv70 chars but for some reasons, I'm as excited of replaying the game with a controller.
Trading two games for this also helps, I wouldn't have triple-dipped with money on this.
The 360 version was more enjoyable than the PC version imo
Right thumb stick rolling, better loot drops always beats the auction house (at the time) game feels like it was made for controllers (for melee classes at least)
The ps4 version is going to be amazing
Any word if there is mouse + keyboard support if I want to play a caster?

Im confused, how do i attack with the knife? Is it just for show or something?(ps4, witch doctor)

Nope. Controller only.
I can see that being the case, actually. I'm a crusader so it's not an issue, but I can see the Wiz having a problem. Maybe you get used to it and adapt? I'm going wiz next so we'll see.
Lol, this should be in the OP at this point.
Your weapon is just for stats. Think of it like you would think of armor.
Only difference is that your weapon contributes more to your damage output than armor.

Guys, add me on PSN for some Legendary gifts: mocolos_usa.
By the way, if there's others Diablo noobs like me in this thread, EG write a guide/tutorial for the game:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-19-diablo-3-ultimate-evil-guide
I don't know if this is good, Diablo 3 hardcore gamers will know (and certainly tell us, right ?).

I accepted your friend request! Dam this game is awesome!!
My internet is too slow for 60GB download. Hurry up mister postman !
Managed to play a little over 2 hours, which after getting home from work and playing Garden Warfare first resulted in me playing until 6:30AM.
Playing on normal as a monk, currently level 10. In this kind of games I have to explore every corner of the map!! Well worth it so far and a friend might be joining later.

You can technically attack with just your weapon. If/when you run out of resources, you will just attack with your equipped weapon, at least on the PC side. Not sure if that works the same way on the console side.
It's a pretty good starting point I think. That said most of the class guides are super vague and not really that informative. The monk one especially is laughable since it's like "well monks have a lot of options so i dunno, use magefists." Some of that stuff might be out of date, not sure as I didn't go through it all just skipped around.
Not terrible though.

I ported my chars over from 360-X1 and got to dick around for 10 minutes this morning.
The game looks fantastic and is buttery smooth.
Double dip was so worth it
[All my bugged weapons rings and armors ported over too, uh oh]

A quick question for those of you in the EU who purchased the game via the US PSN store. I currently have an EU PS+ subscription, if I buy the game from the US PSN store (or amazon.com) would that PS+ subscription allow me to play online or would I need to get PS+ for my US PSN account?

Yep. Just go to the search icon and type in Diablo. Worked for me!
