Diablo III Details, Trailer

A new Diablo III PvP Section discusses what to expect from player versus player combat in Diablo III, Blizzard's upcoming action/RPG sequel. There's also a BlizzCon panel recap called Diablo III - A Hero Emerges, and also from BlizzCon is the introduction of the game's Demon Hunter along with a Demon Hunter cinematic trailer showing off some of her moves. Word is: "Armed with twin crossbows, an arsenal of deadly contraptions, and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance against the legions of the Burning Hells, the demon hunter strikes quickly and excels at hit-and-run tactics."

Who uses LAN on consoles! Its all about the consoles.. Confused
Who uses consoles? PCs FTW. I haven't had owned a console since Atari 2600.

I've tried consoles but hated them.

Difference between me and console lovers is that I play games for immersion which is impossible on consoles and their tunnelvision controller gameplay. Another difference is that I know what I'm talking about when comparing PCs with consoles wherein literally 99% of the console lovers scream how much better consoles are while they havent ever gave the PC a try except for FarmVille!
Well, PCs are harder to manage because of many ways to crash, requirements for games (video cards, RAM, etc.), etc. Consoles doesn't crash that much, doesn't require upgrades to stay with the newest games, easier to set up, etc.

I like PCs because I can control what I have, hack/mod, etc.

There's that, of course, Ant. But all that doesn't really involve the gaming experience, which is what I'm talking about.

I also find the "crashing" argument to be a thing of the past. When I borrowed my friend's Xbox 360 for 2 weeks, Alan Wake crashed once. The last time my PC crashed during a game (not counting goddamn unstable Fallout) was literally about half a year ago. 'nough said on that matter.

PCs require upgrades only because you let it require upgrades. That, too, is also a thing of the past. Hardware these days, and I of course speak out of rockhard experience, doesn't age as fast as back in the days where you were damn proud of your new TNT gpu. I can say with utmost certainty that my PC will play games just as smooth as a PS3 will do 3 years from now, but with better visuals (the PC that is).

And to go back to my original point: gameplay experience. Completely unbiased and full of excitement did I borrow that Xbox 360 to play Alan Wake, Fable 2, Red Dead Redemption and some other games. Completely unbiased I came to the conclusion that the gameplay experience on a console is much worse than on PC in every aspect.

If people play games for immesion but do so on a console, then it's obvious they've never gave the PC a try.

The only reason I can imagine why people own a console is because they like to play with friends on the same couch or play nothing else but Gears/God of War. The strongest and most valid arguments of money and crashes are a thing of the past and are no longer appropriate.
