and you honestly wonder why people keep calling you a PC fanboy despite saying other wise ..... if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck an all that.AJey said:Lunar Templar said:*headdesk*AJey said:I dont have to back it up. It already has been done. Just compare PC and console versions of Diablo 3.
That's is your go to? really?
Have you PLAYED D3 on the PC? Cause the UI looked designed with console in mind long before they announced the console port.
Then there's the fact D3 only has 6 skill slots, total, that's 4 on keyboard, 2 on mouse. Hell, the PS3/Xbox controllers have more buttons then needed.
Not to mention the console version lacks the mandatory online for that RMAH (So I've been lead to believe. There is no fucking way in hell I will sink more money into that shit stain of a game to find out.)
Are we about done? Much fun as it's be to keep blowing holes in your flimsy arguments, I do have better things to do with my time then keep replying to some one that doesn't know they've been beaten awhile ago.
I'll take blame for this one. Should have been more specific. You're right, Diablo might have been designed with a console in mind. That's where UI issues come in, 6 slots etc. But why didnt you mention the most important difference? Controls. Regardless of how you look at it, mouse driven UI is always better, variety of kotkeys that keyboard provides is always better, and of course the accuracy that mouse provides is always better. See, being designed for a console made Diablo worse, as you have demonstrated. So thanks for proving my point, Mr. High-on-the-horse. Next time you go blowing holes, dont aim down or you will shoot yourself in the foot.
Designed with consoles in mind IS NOT DIABLO 3'S PROBLEM.
It's the fact it's been dumbed down, ACTUALLY dumbed down(you know, that thing you mistakenly think the 'control issue' you seem to enjoy being constantly wrong about is). All form of choice that was in the other Diablo games having been ripped out, in favor of ... the mess we got. D3's problems are long, the control scheme chosen, not one of them.
Which falls back to your earlier Bethesda example, bad devs fucking up a game from the ground floor up, only difference between D3 and a TES game is D3 lacks the benefits of modders to correct the mistakes brought on by the devs incompetence.
Next time you think you've made a point, make sure it's not hinged on the other guy not being more familiar with the game then you.
Hi againVergial said:If he wants to use an already-broken game (that, by the way, was broken since launch) as an example, let him. It proves no point of his and is funny to laugh at.
I made the mistake of buying that 'game'. The story is pathetic, gameplay is simple-minded and witless (I'm mostly referring to distribution of stat points or skill points; i.e., there ARE no points to spread), choices are just gone. I absolutely ADORED Diablo 1 and 2. I didn't think they could fuck number 3 up so badly.
Actually, let's use this for fun. Diablo 3 on PC? It is inferior to Diablo 2. Why? They removed a VAST amount of what made Diablo a Diablo game: killing monsters, gathering loot, then spending stat/skill points to make a character all your own to bring to battle with the loot you find.
Diablo 1, I made a battlemage. He wore heavy armor, wielded a greatsword, and cast spells. I was ABLE to do this in Diablo 1. Diablo 2 lets you do LARGELY the same stuff, with minor variations. You were still perfectly able to customize and perfect a class and build to suit your playstyle.
Diablo 3 took away any customization aside from "lol here's a handful of skills, and you don't pick your stats we'll do it for you". Sure, they kept loot, but who the hell cares if you can't play the way YOU want? Further, they nuked the other classes in favor of a very limited selection of cliched fighting styles. This doesn't seem like a gripe at first (consider Diablo 1, again), but remember that they took CHOICE away. I tried so hard to run a battlemage in D3, I really did. but eventually I ran into some bosses that just one-shot you regardless of armor/health simply because the Wizard has almost no health to begin with.
In Diablo 1, since you could place stats where YOU wanted to, running a battlemage was completely doable and fun. The complement of spells helped it along very nicely as well. D1 may have had only 3 classes like D3, but because of the variety of OPTIONS and CHOICES you had, you could build anything.
Diablo 3, despite being on PC as well, is VASTLY inferior to its predecessors because of a distinct lack of options, features, and above all else, choices. However, since they already broke the game, it CANNOT be inferior on consoles; the options in the PC version will remain, as will everything else.
Anyone claiming it is inferior because of a control scheme is only fooling themselves.
PEE ESS: Lunar, it's fun talking with ya. Just sayin'.
Yeah I bought into the D3 hype to, made it one trip through and, the cutscene's where nicely done >.> that's about the only thing I have nice to say about, shame about everything else though, TL2 is such a vastly superior game it boggles my mind as to why anyone still plays D3. Really wish I could have taken it back for a refund. :/
Fun talking with you to.
