So many gaffers adding me on PSN..Thank you! ;-; don't have the game yet but to my fellow americans i am from EU but we can play though when i have it!
Look more hidden tracks!
I never cared about the story but Reaper of Souls is a bit better. But it's about killing tons of monsters in 1 blow and get the shiny legendary's!

Adventure Mode, playing co-op online and looting stuff to build your dream build, paragon leveling, etc.

I played Diablo 2 in 2001 and it was OK. I mean there wasn't any comparable game at the time.
Never played D3 before but now I think it's just nostalgia why you guys enjoy this. Objectively it's just a mediocre game. I can't get over the fixed camera though. I mean not even zoom?!
Legendary gems which are a pretty big game changer as some of them are crazy and greater rifts which is basically an endless dungeon kind of thing. You get 15 minutes to clear a rift and if you clear it you get an item that lets you do a harder dungeon, and that loop keeps going until you fail.
There is also a HUGE amount of class/item changes that is giving every class a bunch of new viable endgame builds.
Blizz has said the ps3/360 version won't get updated so they will be stuck in the current version of the game forever unless they randomly change their mind for some reason.

What class are you playing? Cuz I felt like I cheated by using Demon Hunter - he didn't even hit me once. Vault + Smoke Screen + Turret + Rapid Fire just wrecked him.
It's all about getting better loot to push yourself a little further (higher difficulties). The addition of rifts and (especially) the Adventure Mode give a little more meaning to the endgame than the 'hours of boss runs' that used to be mainstay of the series. However, even Adventure Mode gets stale after a while as you reach the limits of progression. Hence my play style - month-long bursts a few times a year.
Think of the game as an investment; if you enjoy it, you might not play it for 6 months straight, but you'll keep coming back to it over the life of the console.

Hmm, that's tough. I was going to try and grab this today for PS3, but now I feel like I should just wait until I have a PS4.

I got no idea what is meant to keep people playing, in Diablo II leveling up took much longer, you had reasons for creating more characters of the same class, plus had a decent PVP community.
Diablo III though...top level in no time, no reason to ever roll more than one of any class and PVP is a long forgotten joke.
DIablo II had a point to better loot and perfect builds. Diablo III does not.

Adventure mode and Nephalem Rifts. Also, dat loot. The more you kill the better your chances of finding dat sweet loot.

WTF, i just beat him and at the end of the fight he just didnt spam it like he always did. Very strange. Because fore, it was just spamming it endlessly.
Thanks, this will work great. Wish you could add PSN friends online through Sony's website, as far as I know you can only do it through a console.
You can do it through the phone app too. Still takes a while, though.

Belial can be a real bitch
I enjoyed D3s story in that goofy Saturday morning cartoon kind of way.
That sounds like the enrage timer from PC. I'm guessing they're in console too. You can't fight a boss forever, they eventually enter an enraged state that you can't survive for very long.
Well I'm pretty sure you can transfer PS3 RoS -> PS4 RoS if you don't mind double dipping lol. It's not like the current game a broken mess or anything, it's really awesome and every class is capable of reaching the higher difficulties with the right gear. The 360/ps3 versions being stuck in the past while unfortunate isn't the end of the world since it is still a fun place for the game.
Not really true considering you can only move up difficulty levels with better gear/specific builds and the difficulty directly effects the amount of XP/gold/legendary items you get. Not to mention D3 has infinite levels now...
Also this is especially not true in 2.1 with Greater Rifts because if you are aiming for the higher spots you have to optimize the hell out of your gear and build. Greater Rifts have a practical reason to try and go higher because the higher you make it the easier it becomes to upgrade legendary gems and at least on PC there is a competitive aspect to it through leaderboards (don't think console is getting the rift leaderboards for obvious reasons).
Not enjoying the various reasons to get better gear/higher levels is one thing, but it factually is something that exists.

What's the issue? I preordered via PSN and received everything.

That's a good way of looking at it. It was an odd choice to make a story about lords of hell into something like a Saturday morning cartoon, but that's what they did.

Playing in expert. Got to the catacombs in Act 3. Havent died yet and have killed two Nemesis.
Around 15 legs so far.
I have to sleep.
Btw, the last couple hours I've played in the Vita. Works perfectly. Assigned the passive Law to R2.

So basically farm better gear for harder difficulties, harder difficulties for better gear. So where the reason?
Question for the D3 veterans: Start on Normal or Hard?
I've played through D1 and D2 and part of D3 on the PC. Don't remember what difficulty I played it on the PC. I do not want it to be too easy and want to be challenged somewhat, but not to the extent of feeling frustrated. So which is best?

I've never played a Diablo game before and started on hard. It's pretty easy so I might go up to expert when I play it later today.
Crusader looks boss. May switch from my Wizard.

The same question could be asked what was the reason to play D2:LoD after story mode. Because both games you were doing the same thing more or less.
Loot Runs in D2, such as Pindleskin for example, people just ran it over and over to get their high end gear. Also getting to level 100 in D2 certainly does not take as long to get to the higher end Paragon levels (like Paragon 200 or so)
At least Rift runs in D3 changes things up. You aren't running the same dungeon over and over, due to the random variations of rifts and bounty hunts.
D3 doesn't stop once you hit 70. In fact the Paragon system is when you actually get to tweak your build to a more personal level once you start getting Paragon points.
because it's fun.

So question.
I have Diablo 3 on PC but never got into it too much. Not that I didn't like it just got busy and never went back.
Is it worth stumping up the £59.99 to get this for ps4 since remote play and something to play on ps4 or should I try jumping back into PC?

I'm Paragon ~25ish on the base PS3 version. Is there a good guide on spending Paragon points I can check out for when I upgrade? Like are there certain stats (say Run Speed) I should focus on, or stats to always avoid? I mainly play Monk and Wizars but will be starting a Crusader as well.

God, this game is so good. I finally get to experience the Diablo hype.
Me and some buddies have one open spot if anyone wants to join. We're on XB1 and my gamertag = kittens dx. We're all around level 12.

PVP.
My friend and I will be starting a Hard run tomorrow, as a Wizard and Crusader. I played the PC version a long time ago, but he has never played it. Looking to create a solid group of people who want to go through the whole story with us at a reasonable pace. We can only play after 5pm(CST) on weekdays, but anytime on the weekends.
PS4 tag is DemonFang343. Shoot me an invite if you would like to join.

PVP does exist in D3.
There is an NPC you can talk to in Tristram that takes you to an arena where players can battle with each other.
While it isn't the elective-type PVP in D2 in which both players need to agree to become hostile with each other on a map, PVP does exist in D3 regardless.

All of them seem really fun. This is my first time ever playing Diablo and I'm having fun with the monk.

Apparently you don't find them till the end game.
If it's your first time, play Crusader on the hardest difficulty.
