Adventure mode lets you chop up the world into bite-sized chunks.īeyond that, this is Diablo III with the Reaper of Souls expansion included. Still, having to button deep into menus to dig into the numbers and real stats on an item is kind of a pain, and it's the one spot where I missed the PC's relative elegance. It took me an hour or two to get used to each system, since each one feels like it's about one or two button presses too many, but once I became familiar with how Diablo III handles things, it eventually became second nature. And there's a junk system in place to make it easy to flag the stuff that you want to sell or salvage next time you're back in town. The arrows on each item make it easy to see, in a basic sense, if an item is going to help you out or not. The equipment and skills sections are built with radial menus, making it fairly easy to get around and check out different item types. The game's interface and menus have also had to be rebuilt for controllers and living rooms, meaning there's a ton of big-ass text in the menus. You can swap those abilities around however you like, which either means that you'll be able to find a setup that feels natural for you or you'll constantly be confused about which button does what, depending on what type of player you are. Of course, the rest of the controls have also been adapted to fit a controller, so you'll eventually have like six abilities mapped to different buttons on the controller. The right stick is used for a exclusive-to-consoles roll move that gives you a bit of mobility, but it never feels especially crucial. It's a big difference, but one that still feels natural, especially if you were raised on console games like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance. As opposed to left-clicking your way around the world, this console version of Diablo III simply lets you walk around using the left analog stick. The key to all that, of course, is direct character control. This "Ultimate Evil Edition" is a fine version of the game with effective adjustments that make the game just about as playable with a controller as it is with a mouse and keyboard. Now it's all bundled up into one pack for consoles. An exciting action-RPG got better and reinvigorated by that work. Things like " real money auction houses" came and went, the loot system got redesigned, and an expansion was released along with a new adventure mode that gives you a new way to grind through the game without having to see the story beats time and time again. It's handy to have another warm body around, if only to soak up some of the damage heading your way.ĭiablo III has changed quite a bit in the two years since its initial release.
