I haven't tried it on any platform, because I don't support ActiBlizz games.

Understandable.
-I'm currently playing on PS5 and I love it. I have had zero bugs. -I don't find it very complicated, but it is more so than the previous entries. -It's easily the best the series has been in 20 years.
Sounds good, thanks!
How is the visual performance for you? I played on PS5 during the beta, and even in some very early-game areas, I was getting some major drops in quality. If there were more than ~10 enemies in the vicinity, their animations would drop to like 15 FPS while the rest of the game ran at ~60, and was looking jarringly bad. It ended up making enemies look like 2D sprites, so I'm hopeful that they improved this in the full release!
I'm also on PS5 and haven't noticed anything like that, but I'm a) on 1gbps fiber internet and 2) not super discerning about graphical fidelity. I'm still on a 1080p TV.
- I am currently playing it on PS5 and it plays great (like D3).
- Slightly more options, larger skill tree and of course a Store. You will have no problem as a D3 vet.
- TBD ... (sorry, I am very bored with it).
Thanks, that sounds good! No. 3 tbd, I think D3 cannot be as bad as Immortal, we would know by now.
My experience on PS5 with my wife has been beyond exceptional. Best local coop I have seen in a terribly long time, basically since the end of that bygone era.
Ah, local coop is something I completely forgot about, good point. Currently I have only one controller though, I play alone most of the time and can charge it while playing, so there was no real need for a 2nd one yet. Hmmm! 🤔
I’ve been playing it on both my SteamDeck and PS5, it plays very well and is a lot of fun! It’s been a few years since I’ve played Diablo 3, but I think I’m enjoying this one more. So far, I haven’t found the mechanics complicated, but I haven’t opened everything up yet.
Sounds good, thanks! I will have a look into it then. And you, enjoy the game!
as somebody consdering buying a steamdeck, have you tried emulation at all? I’ve been using a RG35XX atm but it’s quite low power and as a result can only really handle GBA/SNES games - I’d love to play some Wii and DS games on the go.
I haven’t tried emulation very much, though I’ve heard others have been having a great time with it. I got one PS2 game running on it that my wife used to love playing, and it runs great.
Can't speak to the PS port, but the Series X version is fine. My only real issue is getting used to the dodge being on a button and not the right stick like D3.
That sounds a bit weird, but is hopefully just a matter of getting used to 😅
Once you get used to the cooldown on it and work out what attacks you actually need to avoid from particular enemies it works, but there's a learning curve.
I play on both PC and PS5.
Some builds are more annoying than others with a controller and the "helpful" targeting assist that seems to make me want to throw the controller at least as often as not.
BUT it's nice to be able to chill on my couch when I feel like it, especially if I'm just mindlessly running around completing map or Lilith statues or something. It's totally playable. Mechanics are more complicated than D3, but in a good way.
Heh, that sounds funny and/but a bit like ragequit-atmosphere.
