Not sure what Diablo 3 is doing on that list. I can play my PS4 version just fine offline.

PC version requires authentication, also lol @ Diablo on a console...

It's actually a lot of fun playing it in local co op, even on consoles. Read the review for the one on PS4 and XB1, works great with a controller.

Local co op>online any way you try to spin it.

Yep. I have three copies of Diablo 3 on PC LAN in my home for my various gaming PCs (always tied to Blizzard's DRM). I beat it and had fun, but I wished the whole time I didn't have to deal with Blizzard DRM and wished I didn't have to buy three copies to do local co op.

Had I known I could have waited for a DRM free console version of Diablo 3 with added local 4 player co op, I would have waited, but Blizzard were reluctant to announce the eventual console port (all we had was rumors). Of course, I lived in the time when we had rumors for Diablo 2 ports to console, and that Diablo 2 port never came to be, so I wasn't about to miss out on Diablo 3 (although, it didn't blow me away as I expected either). The end result is that I only have multiple copies of Diablo 2 PC for various home PCs I have because I love co op, although I have Diablo 1 on PC and the later released console port (couch co-op FTW!). I also have three unsellable copies of DRM filled Diablo 3 on PC, yay.

When the console versions released for Diablo 3, I jumped. Local co-op being added in is an instant win, a feature completely missing in the PC version.

There are 2 sides to Diablo 3 DRM, PC version gets all the seasons, leaderboards etc multiplayer features, which would be totally pointless to have on consoles because what's the point when people just edit the crap out of their characters? Personally I would not have played PC version as long as I did if it wasn't online only.

I'm okay with online only games when it actually benefits the game like D3

So what's the story with the top ranked pawns having 00 has a level? They cost millions to summon. What's up with that?

Also, any texture mods yet? Hell can we even mod textures into the game? The low-res HUD is also kind of an eyesore.

They are edited files, infinite level not 00, but it's basically people exporting the save file to xml -> editing content -> repack and boom you have your char + main pawn with ridiculous stats and levels.

It's the same reason why D3 multiplayer is a joke on console as the save files reside on ones computer so people are free to do what ever with them.

There's few jrpg's that I consider good, most of them are very offputting, cant stand the art style, stereotypical teenage crap etc. Then there's Souls games which are nothing like your average jrpg's.

Non jrpg jrpg's = good!

Rest bad.

Great now we can get more high end games. I wonder how consolites will try to keep the potato PC argument alive.

I mean, let's be real bro. Almost all of the anti-PC arguments from the console fanboy perspective are dated as ****.

People still pretend like you have to spend buckets of cash to get a PC that outperforms consoles, when low end PCs already do that. People still try to act like PC only caters to very specific genres when in fact it has all the same genres as consoles and plenty more. They still bring up "But I hate m/kb!" when you can use any damn controller you want. They still push the myth that consoles are somehow more convenient as if it's still gen 6. I still hear people talking about "hunting down drivers", or having to find fixes for every game as if that's an actual thing lol.

It goes on and on, but you get the point.

No amount of proof, common sense, or reasoning will turn this shit show around lol.

Now that you've pretended to be real let's be real real. People don't want to build their own electronics. Every time Lemrits want to "debunk" the cost and hassle of "PC" gaming they make some list of low budget PC parts with no OS, no controller no disk drive etc. Just a bunch of junk to build the ugliest loudest electricity guzzling turd of a desktop that's likely a potential fire hazard. You think you're privy to some sort of secret information that the world is unaware of. People just don't want to deal with that shit. Get over it.

That's not what the market says, people do build pc's for gaming, people like customization. But why am I replying to a troll who just spams the shame anti pc shit everywhere..

The edited super charged pawns kind of take the challenge out of it, I'd lose interest in any game pretty fast when you just edit best stats and gear, what's there left to do?

144fps on 1440p, not exactly a looker but at least it runs great + you can silence pawns!
