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
