[-Torchedini-]

Poll is again very limited.

I would play it on a console but then I would have graphics that possibly look worse. And a much lower playing resolution so I will play it on PC anyway. Its powerful enough to run it. Otherwise I'll buy a new one

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

Yeah, I'd definitely like the option to use a keyboard and mouse too. I cannot fathom why we don't see more games giving the keyboard and mouse option for consoles, I've only seen it in UT3. It's not any more complicated to use a keyboard with a console, people act as though it's sheer madness, heresy of the highest order, and that doing it would severally reduce the keyboards efficiency. It should be standard practice for a lot of games, especially RPG's, RTS's (not that there's many on consoles, but if this INSANE stigma of it being strange was removed, maybe their would be) and FPS's.

 

[Syphous]

Simple answer for me. Yes. Because I highly doubt my shitty ass PC will be able to run the game. At least if it came to consoles I could play it.

 

[Tahmoh]

depends on the pc specs and if the xbox requires a gold subscription to play properly.

 

[Dioxide20]

Definitely on PC.

The only Blizzard game I would play on consoles is Starcraft Ghost, and that, unfortunately, is never going to happen.

I have no interest in Diablo III at all. All of my interest in the game series went away in 2005 because I got tired of waiting for the game to come out.

 

[Spinwhiz]

Diablo 2 was great but I really would like to play it on the 360.

I'd love to see it on the '360, although I would want a mouse and keyboard.

Consoles are just more cost effective for my gaming needs, as I hate having to update my hardware and tinker with settings to get a game running both smoothly and pretty and consoles do all that for me.

 

[NeoShai]

WTF NOSCOPE HEADSHOT HITMARKER FIRE BOMB! /quit.

OT: I just got a new PC; so PC for me. Also I can't imagine Diablo II on a console; imagine arranging all the items, constantly mashing x and I don't know. It just wouldn't feel right.

 

[v3n0mat3]

IF they decide to do it, given the choice, I'd get it on the PS3.

 

[Naheal]

Depends on how they port it.

 

[Bobzer77]

I remember the last time a Diablo game was released on console. Alas, controllers haven't changed AT ALL since then. Even with the system's overhaul for D3, without a keyboard and mouse, ARPGs are simply doomed to failure.

Not so look at Baldur's Gate, was a huge hit for PS2 and also Demon's Souls a nice Action RPG sleeper hit.

Although I will agree, I would argue that both of these games were made for consoles in the first place (I could be wrong, so feel free to correct me if I am). They are not, to my knowledge, click-heavy in the style of Diablo/Torchlight etc... Maybe my statement was a little too broad. That being said, have you played the console version of Diablo? It was horrible. And since controllers have not changed since the Playstation era, I doubt that a console port of Diablo 3 would function equally to the PC version. But then again, I just prefer keyboard and mouse to controller, so that could just be me

Actually Baldurs Gate wasn't ported to consoles, a different version called "Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliances" (I think) was made which was a hack and slash rather than a dnd based combat system. As far as I remember it also didnt follow the same storylines but I could be wrong.

 

[Tucker154]

Realy depends on how the controls are for the 360.If they are good, i would because then i could take to friends on Xbox Live and also, I can play longer sessions with a controller than a mouse and keyboard.

 

[Blights]

Hell no, It is a PC game-

So? It was mediocre, but Halo Wars did a damn good job at having a go at a console RTS. Better than some PC ones, too.

I don't get what you mean when you say "PC Game". Hell, If it had a good control scheme it might actually be a good idea.

 

[Yureina]

Diablo 3 as a game does not interest me. If it did though... I'd be getting it on the PC.

 

[zHellas]

Yes, on the Xbox 360.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

I'd play it on a console because my PC can't handle it respectably. Still, I recognize that this game being throughout it's development not designed with either a gamepad or motion controls. Thus I'd prefer if possible to own it on the PC.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

Yes, I can't play it otherwise. I am a big fan of Diablo 2.

 

[no one really]

I only got a PC and a Wii, and I can't see for me Diablo 3 on the Wii. but my friend got really pissed about Dragon age on the PS3, so I think this is a made for PC game...
