| The last paragraph grabbed my interest. some pretty wild perhaps valid claims? What do you guys think? It make sense correct? Only 4 players? http://geekshizzle.com/2013/06/07/diablo-3-on-ps34-everything-you-need-to-know/ Im still not clear on how the controls will work on Ps3? With a mouse you point and click on the enemy, and the character attacks. How will you "click" on the enemy to attack with the console controller? http://geekshizzle.com/2013/06/07/diablo-3-on-ps34-everything-you-need-to-know/ | ||

So no, both versions are adapted to their platforms. Very much this! | ||

Very much this! rofl, great excuse for being lazy I am not sure I follow your logic, so it could be great if you would elaborate on why or how you think we are being lazy :-) To me it is anything but lazy to properly adapt the game for each platform it is released on, with things like specifically developed user interfaces, cameras, and controls optimised for delivering the best gameplay experience possible no matter if you are sitting on a couch playing in front of a TV using a controller, or sitting on an office chair playing in front of a monitor using a mouse and keyboard. Had we just been porting the game copy-paste style without paying any attention to the fact that different platforms are in fact different, then I would agree with you that we were being lazy. | ||

Didn't he mean, that you are being lazy for just confirming, instead of explaining it further? I am not sure I follow your logic, so it could be great if you would elaborate on why or how you think we are being lazy :-) My guess would be that it was about the comment being too simple, rather than the idea. If that is what he meant, then in retrospect I can certainly agree that I could have posted a more elaborate comment. The expansion pack for Diablo 3 hasn't even been announced yet and you're only releasing like one minor patch every second or third month. I don't think you're lazy but I think you take way too long to make decisions for your games. If you're not so creative to come up with something new that will keep the game fun for your community then you should hire some more devs, there has been so many great threads on these forums with suggestions and none of them as been added to the game, only Kripparrians "Champion Levels" aka Paragon Levels. Waiting almost 2 years just for an announcement for a expansion pack to such a short game like Diablo 3 that didn't deliver up to it's hype and promises is really bad for a big company like Blizzard. I understand you want the game to be as close to perfect as possible but waiting so much time for those small extra improvements are just not worth it. I love the game and the effort you putted into it although a lot of things went wrong it's still a good game... disappointing, but good. The game has been improved since it's launch but it's still far from the Diablo game I thought I was buying and I know I'm not the only Diablo fan with this opinion, everyone I know IRL has the same thoughts. I'm almost Paragon 100 and I honestly can't see any reason to keep playing after this, and I've just been taking a long 6 months break from the game so I really don't want to quit again already. I'm not writing this to bash you, but because I love Diablo so much it's just painful to wait so long, especially when you know that the expansion pack might not even be what I'm looking for. I know I've been negative in some of my posts on these forums but it has all been because I have a lot of passion for the game and I really want it to be great, and I think you're the only game development company out there who can come up with a quality Action-RPG title. There is not much I can say to this, except that I totally hear you. We know it can be frustrating that we aren't releasing patches at a faster rate, but we do not want to rush things as we want to make sure that Diablo III will be the game that you guys deserve. I want you to know that we truly appreciate your passion, and we are happy to see you and others express that passion in ways that helps us to better understand what you like and don't like about the game. | ||
