Anyone getting Diablo 3 on console?
Was close to getting it myself yesterday, decided to just wait for it on PS4 though.[/quote]
Gamefly should be delivering it today for PS3. It looks pretty good.

Diablo 3 (PS3) review: 3/5 - Note I haven’t played any other Diablo game at least that I can remember.
Diablo 3 is exactly what you expect it to be. It’s a button masher all the way with a lot of good mixed with a few flaws.
1.) Game Play 4/5: It’s fun if you enjoy this type of game. Diablo follows the typical formula for these types of games and does it very well. It reminded me a lot of Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Gauntlet Legends with much more depth. The camera works very well too. You also have an opportunity to have a follower, which you can upgrade, that provides support. It’s a nice feature if you play alone. They don’t help a lot, but they do help. I did not try multiplayer.
2.) Controls 3/5: The controls translate well on the PS3. All of your attacks are mapped to the PS3 controller just fine. Every now and then you’ll hit the, “Power attack,” (not sure what else to call it - R2) button once and your character will execute the attack multiple times. It can be a pain because you run out of mana or whatever, but for the most part it’s not a big deal. two other attacks (square and triangle) have to recharge after each use, but the game doesn’t show or tell you when they’re ready. You basically have to guess and hope they work (it’s like a 15-30 second delay). The one annoying thing (and it’s minor) is that every single time you use square, the character will tell you the attach isn’t ready right after doing it. Every single time…

Upgrade system: There is a lot more depth here than I expected. As you’d expect you are constantly picking up new gear. What I liked (and didn’t expect) was early on you get a blacksmith that can be trained and will build items for you. These items tended to be very powerful compared to items found with the exception of those dropped after, “Boss,” Fights. There are also a lot of choices for each attack button (5 choices per button if I remember correctly), and upgrades to those as well plus a passive attribute with about 25 choices (unlocked through leveling up).

Graphics 4/5: The game looks very good on the PS3. It won’t blow your mind, but it looks good. Very clean and crisp. Animations, especially when you kill something, are a nice touch. Cut scenes look very good.
5.) Story 2/5: The story is a bit generic and predictable at least thus far (I am in Act II about 6 hours for me. I typically play games slow when alone). The voice acting is decent (some of the voices are recognizable), but the dialogue is dry and boring.
Overall it’s fun. I can see a lot of replay value if you like playing with other people or have friends that’ll play it. There are multiple difficulties and at least 1 that can be unlocked (nightmare mode). I played mostly as the Warrior (or Barbarian). I tried a few others for a couple of minutes and I’m sure they are just as fun. [/quote]
Thanks for in depth response, you have pretty much persuaded me to get it over gta 5 lol.

That’s pretty funny. I think GTA V is gonna be 1000x better, but it’s a completely different game and it really just depends on the individual.
I still play my Genesis collection once or twice a month so… [/quote]
I know man but its just I feel no excitement whatsoever when seeing a gta v trailer, despite it being a marvel in all possible ways.
I am still considering it just because of how groundbreaking it will be, would rather play it whilst its fresh and ride the wave than have to look back it when it is dated.

Ya it’s a tough call. I wasn’t going to get it at first, but they hype has been to much for me!
The multi-player sounds just insane too.
