[PC] Diablo 3

[mantis946]

Wait 'till you get to Belial! I had to buy some serious equipment from the Auction House to smash her, still took me a good 6-7 tries!

I got stuck on him on nightmare for a while but oddly not on Hell lol Im fully expecting him to be a hoot on inferno.

Has anyone been to the Secret Pony world yet?

Gayest comment ever :rasp:


I've seen youtube videos of it, doubt I'll play the game long enough to get their myself.

Yep. But I decided it wasn't really my thing....

[Wilkeh]

I've just heard that apparently somebody has beaten the game (inferno difficulty) on Hardcore mode...

EDIT: Found the story - http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/9...on-inferno-difficulty-with-hardcore-character

 

[treemanx]

He looks just like how I imagined lol

 

[iain187]

I am like 18 months late to the party, but I finally bought Diablo 3. It's quite fun. I think I'm on Act II

 

[BigDaveRotary]

^^ Subsequent patches made it much better than the original release. But I am not sure I will buy into the expansion coming.

One of the few games that my girlfriend would actually play - lol. We completed it in co-op just on Normal difficulty, but have actually thought about restarting it with different character classes on a harder difficulty.

A good game - definitely suits the console platform in co-op too.

I'm playing it on Normal as a Barbarian. It's pretty easy at times, but I like it for the mindless smashing. Think I've died twice, and that's because I wasn't paying attention. I'm on Act III now, think I'm level 25.

Can you level up to 60 on one playthrough on normal?

Nope. Well, we got nowhere near that by the end anyway. I think we finished the game at around lvl 26 each. Never even came across one of the set pieces of equipment - which are coloured green, from what I believe? In fact, we only got a few orange ones, tbh.

[Cookie]

I have no orange ones, some yellow and some blue I think

Ive only recently got this for PC. Had it on Xbox One but soo much better on PC.

Anyone fancy a game on it, Just add me battletag = Damo#2133

I actually found it better on the 360 - assuming I could see past the screen tearing and other graphical limitations. The PC version is too zoomed in - I keep wanting to scroll the mouse wheel back to get a wider view!

Easy fix Darren. Just get 3 screens

 

[JonnyK]

[Wilkeh]

They're projectors :smile:

Lol - those just win!

So err I hadn't played this since 2014.. decided to pick up Reaper of Souls and see if it could get my interest. Think I've done 30 hours since Saturday. Woops. Anyone still play?

It worth it? My mate has been playing it loads lately (on Xbox One) and I'm tempted. £20 on Amazon

If you like mindlessly killing monsters with the only goal of fighting harder monsters and getting better gear, yep

So, The Division, but not in NYC?

Pretty much.. it is a hunt for gear but actually fun

 

[Darren S]

Totally agree. Co-op makes this game. On the PC, cdkeys have the Battle Chest combo at £17.99. Well worth it for that.

[The Psychedelic Socialist]

Only ever played this on Hardcore mode and when I left it a year or two back, I had a stable of 5/6 high level characters.

Bit scared to go back now in case I get them all killed.

(Back to Overwatch it is then...)

 

[SharkyUK]

So yeah, having bought this on the day of release (and having picked up again on this thread) I finally unwrapped the game last night and installed it. A quick half an hour introductory play last night became 3-4 hours. Oops.

Sorry

 

[SharkyUK]

Sorry

I'll let you off this time

 

[SharkyUK]

Yeah, this is addictive. It reminds me of why I enjoyed Diablo I and II so much. I foresee several hours being pumped into this!

Ended up buying the new Necromancer expansion yesterday - mainly due to it being the best class in Diablo 2 and it's the class I pick on any fantasy/RPG type game.

Even better is the wife wants to play this through again as we never completed the RoS expansion. Time to hook it up to the TV I reckon and start afresh.

I know it's console, but I'm tempted to give this a go, the full pack is £39.99 on Xbox Live - possibly cheaper on Amazon (haven't looked).

Worth it if you like simple hack & slash with looting games. Much better in co-op.

 

[The Psychedelic Socialist]

Raising my skeleton army as we speak.... hardcore obviously.

What a pisser. Rant warning. :angry:

So I get the Steam Link up and running with Diablo 3 on the TV - very easy and surprisingly fuss-free given that I'm streaming a Blizzard game though the Steam front end.

Pick up the XBox One pad that's connected - nothing. All I get is a mouse pointer on the TV. Several bits of Googling later - it turns out that Blizzard have made a massive distinction between the PC and console versions of this game.

The PC version does not offer local co-op play. The PC version also does not support any game pad. WTAF? Looking on Blizzard's own forums, they have several threads complaining about the lack of both features - neither I get the impression they are willing to address.

I can (to an extent) understand the complexities of local co-op - though games like Sacred and Divinity handle it ok - not forgetting D3 does this on the consoles to begin with. What I can't get my head around is the lack of pad support. A well established controller profile with 2-axis and 6 buttons? Yep - that will give the development might of Blizzard some serious headaches to work out.

So with the PC version, you point and click with a mouse - or join randomers online. Diablo 3 does not lend itself in anyway to casual online play - it's far, far better to be mutually supporting and working towards completing the objectives together. How many of us have played online with woefully bad players who just make the whole experience crap? Oh - but you can do local LAN play. Ah - so I get two PCs, two monitors and two copies of the game - just so I can play in co-op that a PlayStation or XBox can do for a fraction of the price?

How far have people got with this, playing it solo?

I recall in co-op on the 360 that there many parts where I'd have to retreat or end up dying. Having started as the necromancer on the PC again, I left it to the default Normal difficulty.

Having not died once, I upped it to Hard. I still haven't died and have taken on two sub-bosses already. I'm not even getting close to dying either with the necromancer class having so many options to grant life back to him and haven't yet used one health potion.

I'm going to have to up the difficulty again. I just don't want to get to that difficulty stage where I have one life for the entire duration of the game. Die once and your previous 20 hours need redoing? Sod that.

 

[The Psychedelic Socialist]

I play only on Hardcore so one death = start again from scratch. Much more fun IMO.

Currently have a monk rifting around Torment 8 but my last Necro carked it on a lvl50 rift (Torment 11 IIRC).
