Diablo III To Hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on September 3
I'm a console gamer, but I'm a big Diablo fan from way back when. It was the first PC game, that wasn't educational, that I played heavily so it'll be great to get back into that universe. It'll be weird to play it without a mouse and keyboard and hopefully the port goes well, but from what I've been reading, the controls aren't bad. And with my gameplay style, which basically consists of running into a crowd and hacking and slashing everything to death, it really doesn't matter how great the controls are. Button mashing, all the way. ;-)
I think my love for tank characters stems from Diablo. I finished the game as a hack-everything-to-bits Warrior, not the kills-from-a-distance Rogue or the wimpy-in-the-health-department Sorcerer. I remember being disappointed that a Warrior wasn't allowed to hold a sword in either hand. Then along came Diablo II and the Barbarian and hello! Dual wield, baby! I went through most of that game just a whirlwind of swords. Makes me happy that the Barbarian is a class again in Diablo III and that you can choose your gender, too. I know what class I'm choosing when the game arrives.
All of the articles I've read about the port mention the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360 and even possibly the PlayStation 4, but nothing about the new Xbox One. Personally, I'd rather not have to buy another Xbox just to play a game, but at the same time, I know all of the newer games will be on the new console. If I want to keep up, I will have to buy an Xbox One at some point. We'll see.
