You're able to go back and replay quests and dungeons for loot runs. Also I've noticed alot of the footage in reviews by almost any youtuber will have scenes inconsistent to what they are saying because of reasons like this. It sucks but eh, its just the way it is. The first run of the game will usually be quite short anyway, its Nightmare dificulty and beyond that will make your balls drop :P
3) Hormone therapy is cosmetic in this kind of procedure, but there are many instances where it's much more than that (hypophysis or glandular lesions and mutations for example).
You know, I actually admire this woman's devotion to her work. Carolyn can clearly interpret your hurtful and insolent messages, yet she strives on and ever increases her determination to write and record fantastic reviews. In fact, she is quite possibly a smarter, more talented and more socially adept person than half of you horrid pigs who post these totally presumptuous and abhorrent remarks. Great job on that review Carolyn. Keep it up!
How is the item drop in the PS3 version? I remember playing D3 for PC when it first came out with a Demon Hunter and once you got to inferno, it was just a brick wall of BS. You couldn't find any decent gear on your own and had to use the AH to buy it and you couldn't beat Act 1 without doing so. Or maybe if you spend like 6 months grinding just for some temp gear. Since the PS3 doesn't have the AH, will good gear actually drop just playing or do you have to waste days/months farming for it every time you gain a few levels?
I have never played a diablo game before but I tried the demo for this one and am interested of getting into it. Just wondering, how easy/hardis it to get into. Is it one of those game that will totally kick my ass as a first time player?
Just got it a few days ago having been round my freinds playing co op with him!. that same day i went home and brought it off xbox live marketplace! so far its totally worth the money. having played it abit, i chose hard mode and it totally rocked my balls! though with a little practice its easy to pick up and play no matter if your a noob or diablo veteran! highly suggest the purchase and is defo the best port for the game
I'm an exclusive console gamer and I like to play local co-op games to play with my brother, so I bought this game yesterday and played the shit out of it for 12 hours straight! Great game so far.
Let me clarify: 1) Never said the x/y chromosomes don't determine your gender, I just mentioned that there are some anomalies where you can present a contrary phenotype (people with male genitalia and xx), and they adjust accordingly. 2) Yes, hormone therapy is mostly cosmetic, but we are talking about the whole sex change experience here. People don't have surgery and call it a day, they need the hormones they don't produce (they do but in very small amounts) to complete the whole change.
Can you finish quests on multiplayer? In some RPG games in multiplayer you can't finish quests, so only thing that is left is grinding and sweeping the dungeons :D I hope that on Diablo 3 you can finish quests in multiplayer.
You can finish quests in multiplayer. All the story events still trigger. The only thing is, the story progress is only saved on the main account, any secondary player will remain where they where when they joined the game. (like in Dark Souls/Demon's Souls) I understand why they did this. Let's say you go over to a friends house with your own progress, say a character that is in Act 3, but your friend is in Act 2. How would the game handle that? Would your friend skip over all the quests, or will you lose your progress? By using this system, neither of those 2 happens, your friend will still progress through the story and your story progress will be unaffected. You will however get to keep all the stats and loot that you got from the session since thouse ARE saved to your character, not your story progress. Hope this answers your question.
I felt that the direct control was sweet for melee based classes, and terrible for ranged. There are benefits for each system, but without the auction house and increased drop rates on consoles, until they patch the PC version, the consoles seem a bit better.
I don't understand how people can feel so much hate. I was a huge fan of Diablo 2 and felt extremely disappointed by Diablo 3, however the console version was amazing and everything the PC version should have been. Don't understand why people can't let go. Anyways I hesitated on buying this but it was worth every penny. Great game.
I just added a last idea, didn't really delete the comment. Btw, I did study biotechnology engineering for a few years and had to do a lot of research on viral gene therapy, hormone treatments, synthetic molecules and stuff like that. You can't "change" the Y chromosome (yet) but you can, to some degree, mutate or silence genes to manipulate the body. As I said in the other comment, it's not a perfect solution, but it's much more effective than the credit you're giving it.
I never played a Blizzard game before,and dont rly care for MP Can i still enjoy this game? Should i prepare myself in any way? (I always play on consoles,thats why i never pleyed it b4)
You´re right :) , at least new to Diablo3.I´ve just beaten the game twice,but if I have to go trough a game twice,before I get a good challenge,that kind of dissapoints me.As the story and tension is a very important part for me,this takes too much away from the experience.Diablo 1 was not just in this point very different.
I'm thinking of buying this game for the ps3, but I was also thinking of buying it on the ps4. Should I wait till the ps4 version comes out or buy it on the ps3?
I can't disagree more about the multiplayer. Sure, online gives you more screen space, but local gives you an incredible sense of camaraderie. You get excited, you get frustrated, you joke. When one person is in their inventory, the others can go grab snacks. This is truly one of the best local multiplayer games of last gen =)
Local co-op is awesome. The equipment arranging time for one is beer refreshing time for others. I always play it with my friends at home and its a ton of fun
The game is very fun and it can get silly unless you play it at a harder difficulty for sure. I played it on normal first just to get used to it but once I beat Diablo once I upped the difficulty and played the game again harder than normal to give myself a challenge it is worth it too. If you really want to give yourself a challenge play it on a harder difficulty as a hardcore character. Clear it under those conditions and it gets really interesting.
I loved diablo1 for its dark and evil essence. I feel like I wouldn't get that feel from this game. Can someone help me out? Just got paid and want to pick up a game.
What does these recent unnecessary comments have to do with Diablo 3? After I watched Gamespot's review, I was expecting to read about the pros and cons from the people in this blog. Complete shame.
until GTA and Ghosts comes this has my GOTY vote, even over the last of us and Bioshock cause the one thing in my eyes which games lack these days is replayability..TLOU for instance bought it, completed it, played mp for 2 days then sold it along with my ps3 and got myself a 360 again..me and a few mates have been blasting this for days its awesome 9.0/10
Maybe they're pissed that Blizzard treats the PC gamers worse than the console ones. They always have been loyal, so to say, to the PC gamers. Further more, this is the superior version specially because without of the auction house that doesn't disconnect the user.
Thats BS and you know it, games like these are perfect for consoles. Co-op(online and offline), hack & slash, Tight controls. If developers find a way to perfect RTS's and MMORPG's for consoles I would welcome it. They should bring torchlight to consoles as well, try and get more Consoles players into this gen.
Loved the adaptation.... but is "stupid easy" i'm on nightmare, master V and still 100% hp vs bosses; the only thing dificulty does is make the monster take more hits, give more exp. and loot better stuff... that just make it more easy and slower... i don't goin to leave my equip in the chest an run naked, dont get me wrong i loved the controls, story, charas, everything... just no real challenge and is way too short. Sorry not english speaker....
got it on the box and I'm never online. take that blizzard. the game feels a lot different than a pc version and loot has been definitely lessened down. lvl 10 at this point and I literally got less than 15 item drops by monsters... and only by those specials with a lot of hp
Still didn't like Azmodan being all "You have no chance against my mighty minions!" Then you kill them and he says "You have no chance against this next guy!"
Why would there be rage? Anyway. I agree with you here. I'm willing to get this on console, probably PS4 if I get one :) Looks better and more fun compared to the PC version. This is coming from a PC 'Fanboy'.
Playing online is better than playing locally? So how about playing locally + a pack of bear , some chips and three friends actually being at your house?
Another game that simply does not need to be on consoles at all. Not because it's geared more towards PC's but because...no wait...actually, that's EXACTLY why it shouldn't be on consoles! Games like these and RTS' s or Total War style games...hell even MMORPG's simply lack the true control design they're meant for on consoles. I just don't see this as being a big seller either seeing that most laptops and PC's can play this with little to no issues at all. If anything, the Wii-U is ideal.
True and yes call of duty is a good game to me it didn't make sense him bashing BSI i mean for example aliens cm that game is a waste of 60$. im glad im not the idiot who bought bought without testing it first thats why on saturday im gonna rent maybe aliens cm or Thor.
well i read his comment and it didnt look like he was bashing on bioshock. just that he felt it wasnt the game for him. but like i said not everyone has the same taste in games. hell aliens cm received the worst reviews but you might be the few people who actually enjoyed it, its all preference. im just annoyed of people calling someone who doesnt have the same taste in games a cod fanboy or in this case a noob. i say fanboy cuz when you bash a non cod game thats the lable you recieve.
I don't care who reviewed the game... I don't care about the anal denial some have about how good the game actually is... I never got a chance to play it on PC so now I am absolutely loving D3 on my 360...
Came here to watch a review about Diablo 3 and scrolled down to see other's opinions on the game. Instead I see a cesspool of derogatory names towards homosexuals, random racism towards Jewish people, and the never ending unrelated racist comment towards black people. I love youtube but strongly dislike majority of its users.
I don't know who this Carolyn person is, and I don't care. I came for a review and got a review. The person did their job. You dudes are far weirder to me than this person. Somebody's business is no business of mine. I've explained this stuff to my 7 year old daughter, and surprisingly she didn't wanna grow a mustache and join the local 495. Your kids are fine, worry about your own lives.
I'm a homophobe but seriously, why the need to yell at him at all times. i hate him being in this kind of videos, but he is so stop it and just enjoy the content of the video
I try to make fair reviews but i feel i have to disagree with everything in this video... The entire game felt easy, looked tacky and had very little to the gameplay.
diablo plays so much better on console
Or you just have a horrible PC
Lobster Corgi no, it's just more accurate on consoles.
Light Yagami or not
You make me laugh.
Lobster Corgi
He's not pointing out performance or graphics, he means just ease and alot more comfortable
Wow. Mandark got the review right.
You're able to go back and replay quests and dungeons for loot runs. Also I've noticed alot of the footage in reviews by almost any youtuber will have scenes inconsistent to what they are saying because of reasons like this. It sucks but eh, its just the way it is. The first run of the game will usually be quite short anyway, its Nightmare dificulty and beyond that will make your balls drop :P
Closest thing we'll get to the greatest rpg of all, gauntlet dark legacy.
is this game any good solo I know its supposed to be a multiplayer game but I have no one to play with and I don't want to pay for gold membership
How is it to jump straight into playing this without playing any others before it?
So is this game easy to catch onto?? I wanna try it out but never played these before??
3) Hormone therapy is cosmetic in this kind of procedure, but there are many instances where it's much more than that (hypophysis or glandular lesions and mutations for example).
You know, I actually admire this woman's devotion to her work. Carolyn can clearly interpret your hurtful and insolent messages, yet she strives on and ever increases her determination to write and record fantastic reviews. In fact, she is quite possibly a smarter, more talented and more socially adept person than half of you horrid pigs who post these totally presumptuous and abhorrent remarks.
Great job on that review Carolyn. Keep it up!
Can't install it I bought it on pan store and it's says more than 2 day of waiting to install
Does anyone know if the console versions let you use your PC save?
How is the item drop in the PS3 version? I remember playing D3 for PC when it first came out with a Demon Hunter and once you got to inferno, it was just a brick wall of BS. You couldn't find any decent gear on your own and had to use the AH to buy it and you couldn't beat Act 1 without doing so. Or maybe if you spend like 6 months grinding just for some temp gear.
Since the PS3 doesn't have the AH, will good gear actually drop just playing or do you have to waste days/months farming for it every time you gain a few levels?
out of most of the gamespot editors i usually trust and like Carolyn's reviews.
This game looks great
I have never played a diablo game before but I tried the demo for this one and am interested of getting into it. Just wondering, how easy/hardis it to get into. Is it one of those game that will totally kick my ass as a first time player?
Just got it a few days ago having been round my freinds playing co op with him!. that same day i went home and brought it off xbox live marketplace! so far its totally worth the money. having played it abit, i chose hard mode and it totally rocked my balls! though with a little practice its easy to pick up and play no matter if your a noob or diablo veteran! highly suggest the purchase and is defo the best port for the game
Actually no, the game is very unchallenging and sadly too easy. Especially compared with the two previous games.
I'm an exclusive console gamer and I like to play local co-op games to play with my brother, so I bought this game yesterday and played the shit out of it for 12 hours straight! Great game so far.
I'm planning on getting this game soon. Can anyone recommend me the best class to choose for beginners?
Mrcapo100 the best for solo people is barbarian and wizard. But in my opinion, wizard and witch doctor are the most fun.
Let me clarify:
1) Never said the x/y chromosomes don't determine your gender, I just mentioned that there are some anomalies where you can present a contrary phenotype (people with male genitalia and xx), and they adjust accordingly.
2) Yes, hormone therapy is mostly cosmetic, but we are talking about the whole sex change experience here. People don't have surgery and call it a day, they need the hormones they don't produce (they do but in very small amounts) to complete the whole change.
I skipped up D3 on Pc cause of DRM, might pick this up on my PS3
My Friend, Diablo 1 was born on consoles and PC it played perfectly.
Can you finish quests on multiplayer? In some RPG games in multiplayer you can't finish quests, so only thing that is left is grinding and sweeping the dungeons :D I hope that on Diablo 3 you can finish quests in multiplayer.
You can finish quests in multiplayer. All the story events still trigger. The only thing is, the story progress is only saved on the main account, any secondary player will remain where they where when they joined the game. (like in Dark Souls/Demon's Souls) I understand why they did this.

You will however get to keep all the stats and loot that you got from the session since thouse ARE saved to your character, not your story progress.
Hope this answers your question.
so does the console versions of this game have a single player??? never watched the full vid as I had to go out
I felt that the direct control was sweet for melee based classes, and terrible for ranged. There are benefits for each system, but without the auction house and increased drop rates on consoles, until they patch the PC version, the consoles seem a bit better.
Its not as fun when Carolyn isn't on screen. The L.A Noire review was funny as shit I was in tears.
More Carolyn please.
I don't understand how people can feel so much hate. I was a huge fan of Diablo 2 and felt extremely disappointed by Diablo 3, however the console version was amazing and everything the PC version should have been.

I never played a Blizzard game before,and dont rly care for MP
Can i still enjoy this game?
Should i prepare myself in any way?
(I always play on consoles,thats why i never pleyed it b4)
How can i play offline coop?
You´re right :) , at least new to Diablo3.I´ve just beaten the game twice,but if I have to go trough a game twice,before I get a good challenge,that kind of dissapoints me.As the story and tension is a very important part for me,this takes too much away from the experience.Diablo 1 was not just in this point very different.

Local co-op is awesome. The equipment arranging time for one is beer refreshing time for others. I always play it with my friends at home and its a ton of fun
Best loot hunting game since borderlands 2. Love it!!
There is a huge difference.loot rates are way way higher and many abilities have been tweaked
DO YOU NEED TO BE ONLINE TO PLAY THIS GAME!?!? PLEASE REPLY?!!!?
The game is very fun and it can get silly unless you play it at a harder difficulty for sure. I played it on normal first just to get used to it but once I beat Diablo once I upped the difficulty and played the game again harder than normal to give myself a challenge it is worth it too. If you really want to give yourself a challenge play it on a harder difficulty as a hardcore character. Clear it under those conditions and it gets really interesting.
I like how items drop (at the very end)
might give this game a try
I loved diablo1 for its dark and evil essence. I feel like I wouldn't get that feel from this game. Can someone help me out? Just got paid and want to pick up a game.
What does these recent unnecessary comments have to do with Diablo 3? After I watched Gamespot's review, I was expecting to read about the pros and cons from the people in this blog. Complete shame.
Most addictive game I've ever played. In Hell Act 3, almost on Inferno. It really is hard to stop playing.
until GTA and Ghosts comes this has my GOTY vote, even over the last of us and Bioshock cause the one thing in my eyes which games lack these days is replayability..TLOU for instance bought it, completed it, played mp for 2 days then sold it along with my ps3 and got myself a 360 again..me and a few mates have been blasting this for days its awesome 9.0/10
I love the pc version. I have to admit.. at release it was so boring end game, but since they added paragon level it is so addicting !
I woulda agreed with you except I got the console version and its quite addictive. Never went near the PC version as it was definitely a fail.
Maybe they're pissed that Blizzard treats the PC gamers worse than the console ones. They always have been loyal, so to say, to the PC gamers. Further more, this is the superior version specially because without of the auction house that doesn't disconnect the user.
simply watch the "epic" Bossfight,which starts at 4:35 and ends at 4:42......
7 seconds of pure challenge,pressing R2
I think I will stick to the PC version since it's my own screen and can go where I want with having to wait for the other players
You can do the same in Diablo III online moltiplayer, its just local mulitiplayer that changes it
and the loot system is infinitely better on consoles than on the PC :(
August edit: well, not anymore :)
Gamespot
Diablo 3 PC - 8.5
Diablo 3 Console - 8.0
I'm more angry at the always online requirement for it. I might buy this game with a price drop for the offline Co-op.
And people say gamers are intolerant, uneducated, sexist and all round immature people. The comments here prove that is not the case...
as I Pc gamer I'm really jealous about the offlane mode
Diablo 3 is the new official Gauntlet for today's generation consoles.
Thats BS and you know it, games like these are perfect for consoles. Co-op(online and offline), hack & slash, Tight controls. If developers find a way to perfect RTS's and MMORPG's for consoles I would welcome it.
They should bring torchlight to consoles as well, try and get more Consoles players into this gen.

Sorry not english speaker....
never knew Leonard Hofstader was into Diablo.
Ugh, that voice. Guess I'll have to watch the IGN review.
got it on the box and I'm never online. take that blizzard. the game feels a lot different than a pc version and loot has been definitely lessened down. lvl 10 at this point and I literally got less than 15 item drops by monsters... and only by those specials with a lot of hp
Still didn't like Azmodan being all "You have no chance against my mighty minions!" Then you kill them and he says "You have no chance against this next guy!"
You can play offline with 4 other people, couch co-op. No auction house either :D
Also never played Diablo. See if I can convince my friends to buy a copy and play with me :)
My god, the immature bigotry in this comment section. It's just sad :(
Great review!
I don't really care if Bioshock Infinite get positive reviews but it's probably the worst $60 I spent in a game.
Apparently some people give a real shit, given the hateful comments I see. To the point of obsession in fact.
I used to watch UA-cam before all these annoying ads, why would that stop me?
Good review gamespot made 5 minutes felt like 30 seconds.
did they missed R2 ?
Why would there be rage? Anyway. I agree with you here. I'm willing to get this on console, probably PS4 if I get one :) Looks better and more fun compared to the PC version.
This is coming from a PC 'Fanboy'.
The Demon Hunter looks OP
They should reduce the cost of this game, the pc verson has been out for a year.
Is this worth $60, I don't want to make the same mistake I did when I bought Bioshock Infinite, waste of my $60, regretted buying it :(
Playing online is better than playing locally? So how about playing locally + a pack of bear , some chips and three friends actually being at your house?
You on a budget or just a casual gamer?
It'd be nice if I can trade in my PC version for the console version.
I don't really feel like pay for Blizzard again.
So just got this game from psn. And found out buying it from psn gives u a free copy for ps4
Another game that simply does not need to be on consoles at all.
Not because it's geared more towards PC's but because...no wait...actually, that's EXACTLY why it shouldn't be on consoles!
Games like these and RTS' s or Total War style games...hell even MMORPG's simply lack the true control design they're meant for on consoles.
I just don't see this as being a big seller either seeing that most laptops and PC's can play this with little to no issues at all.
If anything, the Wii-U is ideal.
Blizzard just sat on there pc fans thanks blizzard we really appreciate that
True and yes call of duty is a good game to me it didn't make sense him bashing BSI i mean for example aliens cm that game is a waste of 60$. im glad im not the idiot who bought bought without testing it first thats why on saturday im gonna rent maybe aliens cm or Thor.
stop the damn ads
the game is good im glad we have in on consoles now
no mention of the market
I don't think there's an appreciable difference. That being said, if there is one, it's due to lazy porting. Which, unfortunately, happens too often.
well i read his comment and it didnt look like he was bashing on bioshock. just that he felt it wasnt the game for him. but like i said not everyone has the same taste in games. hell aliens cm received the worst reviews but you might be the few people who actually enjoyed it, its all preference. im just annoyed of people calling someone who doesnt have the same taste in games a cod fanboy or in this case a noob. i say fanboy cuz when you bash a non cod game thats the lable you recieve.
this is the beta for PC next expansion and loot 2.0 patch :)
I might have to check this one out. Been awhile since I've tried a good top view game.
god i cant stand this persons voice but she(?) is a good reviewer
I like your picture. It's quite clever. Made me think there's a fly on my screen lol
The PS4 version will be my third copy.
good troll. Beg attention with ridiculous comments.
Maybe parody the widely accepted myth of the earth being a globe in orbit next.
I don't care who reviewed the game... I don't care about the anal denial some have about how good the game actually is... I never got a chance to play it on PC so now I am absolutely loving D3 on my 360...

Sounds like a good game might get it!
10/10 i love this on xbox360!
I am glad I came across this. I may have to give in and purchase the game for something else to play addictively.
I'm a homophobe but seriously, why the need to yell at him at all times. i hate him being in this kind of videos, but he is so stop it and just enjoy the content of the video
I try to make fair reviews but i feel i have to disagree with everything in this video...
The entire game felt easy, looked tacky and had very little to the gameplay.
The only thing that sucks is way to easy to beat on inferno
People are crazy ass hell and if you don't change your way of thinking you will end up there
Sounds like someone is really enjoying these vivid thoughts. Freudian slip, of course.
Good job Carolyn..
"Betrayal can never be forgiven" ^_^
Thats what the templar said to jondar lol
Bioshock was alright but your right its not worth 60 bucks
