Forbes leak: Diablo III coming to Switch in 2018 with exclusive content, $59.99

Yeah. I paid $100 at PC launch but got the PS4 version pretty cheap a year or so after. While the prospect of playing on a Switch is enticing, the numbers just aren't adding up to me at this point. Hopefully down the road we see a nice discount.
Good for switch users. Also wonder how they are going to make the portable mode work? The multi-player characters aren't saved on the system, but not being able to play your "online" character while on the go would destroy the switch version selling point for me.
Also lol for calling a couple of cosmetic items content. Content are extra quests, bosses, story and/or map-layouts and not a cool Ganondorf mask.
/Disclaimer: I bought the MHW delux edition because of the samurai skin myself. I'm part of the problem why they are able to get away with expansive skins. Still, a skin isn't content.

Youll be in for a real treat, way more was added since the PS3 version, expansion , caracter and patch add way more.
I feel like people would have found some reason to complain about the price even if it was $40. You had people on this forum complaining that Okami HD on Switch was full price. The game is $20. Come the fuck on.
Console versions have two seperate sets of characters - Season (which are saved and played purely online) and non-season (which can be played both online and offline and saved to the system), so yes with non-season characters you can do a few rifts offline before coming home, docking in and joining some mates for an online session with the same character. Because Season characters take part in a ladder and require online, you can't take those offline.
Actual resolution on PS3/360 was 584p.

If it has every expansion until current build then the pricing is on par with PS4.
Goodness, please, please lower your expectations. I seriously doubt there will be a Direct today but even if there was that is way, way too much to expect.
And Star Fox GP won't be announced until E3, a Retro game has never been announced outside of E3.
So there are 7 classes, and in any given season each class will have something like 5-6 viable builds for high level grifts. If you really want to experience it all you can spend insane amounts of time in each season.
And then in a new season brand new builds become viable. And the cycle resets.
The 2012 game had all the updates and two expansions bundled?
There is a reason for that. I already said it a million times here and on the old forum. Last gen we got like 2-3 HD remasters on one disc for 40€. And this gen it has shiftet to ONE remaster for 60€. I think it started with The Last of Us. People have all the right to complain about that.
And that "but ALL the DLC and NEW CONTENT"-argument is a bit silly. There was one meaty DLC for Diabloa 3 which was already included in the PS4X1-version. Also, at least the PS4 version, had "exclusive content" with some useless Sony-items. It's nothing of worth. And then there is one additional playable character. Hardly a lot of new content.
I Bought Diablo 3 on lauch on PC

Eh.. it might be worth adjusting expectations. When Ultimate Evil launched on XBOX One it took help from MS themselves to hit 1080/60 consistently:
...but, as DF themselves commented:
Full story.

Those are third parties games. Dunno if Nintendo can do anything about them...But they could launch some games like New Super Mario All Stars, Pikmin HD, Wind Waker HD, Xenoblade Chronicles HD and Metroid Prime Trilogy HD.
I imagine this game will sell like crazy. People who have been solely Nintendo players their whole life are about to be blown away. And people who have played it already will be drawn to the portability and/or novelty of having Diablo 3 on the go (even if they never play it). I'm okay spending $60. And with Ganon armor, this might end up being the best Zelda game of all time. BotW what now?
I have no idea if Im getting it or not. I played enough of the game + Reaper of Souls on my PC. So I will wait and see.
The game drops to single digits on 360. There is 0% chance of getting 60 fps on Switch. Even the Xbox One drops big time, much more than what the DF analysis shows.
These companies are crazy charging full price for last gen ports/remasters. I was interested to play it on Switch but not at that price, when I own the game already.
Only ever played on PS4. Even on a Pro though, there's still occasional choppy moments.
I know you're right with this one but I can't think of any off the top of my head, what were some examples?
Even on a fairly good gaming PC it will drop when there's a shitload of action and particles on the screen. That's just the kind of game this is.
Good shout. Wish the MGS collection made it to the Switch.
Own it on PS4 for local coop and PC for online. That price tag is far too much for me to triple dip. But for those who have never played this you're in for one of the best coop games ever created.
Same for me, I just didn't bought reaper of souls for ps3.
And I will buy it on switch too, can't wait. I really love this game.
Mad, I've completed the core storyline on harder difficulties several times with different classes and done some of the rifts, but I never got to the greater rift level of things. I guess I've missed most of the game then X-D
I just hope the Switch gets some games I haven't played to death years ago. Like, I know it's easier to just dump a port on this thing, but I'd honestly appreciate if these billion dollar companies would spend a few bucks developing some original games for the Switch.
Yes but it's absolutely not the same as last gen. Games have matured massively as an art form this decade, and what we're seeing is a shift away from a game's value being determined simply by tech, and instead value being determined by artistic worth. An early PS2 game seemed ancient in the late 2000s in the way that a game from 2012 simply does not. Also Diablo 3 is the perfect example of a game which has a service model and is therefore constantly evolving. I mean it's actually better than it was in 2012, much better, so why does the release date get to define the value?
There are no other art forms that work in this way. CDs, vinyl, Blu Rays, movie tickets- they have standardised pricing which generally holds its value for anything other than the most mass market products. The only reason that older remasters were ever released cheaply was because of the assumption that no-one would want to pay games which feel old. Now games from six years ago just do not feel old in the same way, and there has been much more overlap between last ten and current gen than we have ever seen previously. Just like any form of art which was released only six years ago, it is worth just as much as it was when it originally came out.
Oh yeah, the greater rifts definitely became the meat of the game. I haven't played through the story in years but I'll pick up the game every year for a month or so to play like 80 hours of adventure mode. Grifts get you the legendary gems which really make a huge difference in your build.
Diablo 3 must be the biggest spin I felt toward a game that I hated at first.
I got the big Collector's Edtion on PC when it came out, because doing anything else would've felt like blasphemy to me, finished the game and noticed the obvious lack of content once you finished the game and it was a big turn off, along with always-online and the Auction House. I dropped it almost immediately.
Then RoS came out and holy shit I loved it to death, played at least a hundred hours of it. Blizzard listened and did things right.

I'll pay full price, happily. A friend and 2 joycons and Diablo 3 anywhere. Sounds too good to be true!
Yeah it's kinda crazy how the game now almost barely resembles the game at launch. What a terrible launch.
Included is the expansion, the paid for Necromancer class, plus some Nintendo specific skins. Seems like it is worth it to me.
that's insane to me.
Sets and powerful upgrades gems make farming so much better and a little more challenging once you get the power. Just get high enough and smile at the loot at the end of a run.
any pc will choke on the woods wih high densities that have been grouped. It will literally slow down to nothing and fast forward stutter before smoothing out. Arpgs crush most systems if allowed haven't seen a single major one run smooth when it matters most.
I doubt this will be anymore than what happens on consoles already. Not a single console matches pc version densities in grs especially what you find 90+.
Can someone explain to me all the purchasing options for Diablo 3 on other consoles? This particular collection that is coming to Switch is selling at $60 MSRP for those consoles, and people don't seem to care about that.
But I guess since there are other options people are outraged it's only costing $60 on Switch? What are the other options? Can you just buy the base game + RoS?

if they lower it too much it will mess up so many builds that need large groups to work....and single target builds will grow...
Honestly they need to lower the graphics as much as possible to maintain good group sizes..
