Diablo 3 Coming To Consoles
RobinEggs writes "After long speculation and a few affirmative hints, Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 3 will have a console version. Responding to a fan who asked him to 'confirm or deny' a console version of D3, Blizzard community manager Bashiok said, 'Yup. Josh Mosqueira is lead designer for the Diablo console project.' Here's hoping Blizzard remains one of the few companies to fully develop both the console and PC version of their titles, rather than simply porting the Xbox version to PC. I think we've all had enough of bizarre scrolling, menus that can't be used with a mouse, and 'Controls' menus that don't even bother replacing the 360 controller image with an actual keyboard layout."
It was confirmed for shit when Blizzard went on record stating that weapon switching was an undesired exploit that gave non-retards an advantage over others.
The games are still good. Nothing you've mentioned is actually a gameplay flaw. Lack of LAN is annoying, but hardly difficult. Diablo was always a retarded game. This is just a mainstream retarded game.
Oblivion Awaits
Well, it's not helping them at all that each WoW expansion and patch is more dumbed down then the last. It's so bad at this point you can pretty much just drool on the keyboard and you'll still be just fine "raiding".
They've deliberately taken away any and all variables and variety, not just from the races and classes, but from the encounters as well. I look at other games and I'm sad when I see they only have 4 or 5 character choices...then I remember WoW only has 3...
