So I went home and I purchased the Diablo three reaper of souls ultimate evil edition due to the fact it was the most expensive and claimed to be the full game. Now that does nothing for harmony in the family.A couple of years ago I saw my sister playing Diablo Three on her Xbox one and when I saw it she recommended that I get the game. The end of a questing session with the boys often ends with 20 minutes of PvP chaos on the battlegrounds. I also heard a lot more of the story.īoth styles of play are great fun though. It also helps that with only 2 players we can try and selectively pick up the drops that seem likely to be useful to us. Last night I started a new game with my wife (co-op games the way they are meant to be played: side by side on the sofa under a comfy cover ) and we could afford quick peeks at our gear on more regular intervals. Keeps the game moving (a must with 4 players) and keeps them from growing impatient. I'm also very lucky if I can hear a quest dialogue in its entirety. With the kids, we loot up everything we can quickly but only look at the loot between quests or between floors. There are definitely 2 different playstyles in my household. We need better policies like you are using in your house on that front! Toffee wrote:My youngest lad keeps checking his inventory though, even in the middle of a battle. But I think I just found the Diablo III version I needed. I was sceptical of the interest of a console release. Neither my wife or the kids had ever played Diablo before. Later, one dropped out and my wife took up the second slot with her new wizard.

You still need to accommodate 4 players needing to juggle their inventory and skills at times, but we usually keep the parts not easily addressed with shortcuts for when we visit town.Īnd suddenly, I am reminded of the early Diablo (the first game) days. But now we've started to remember the shortcuts and limiting how often we redistribute the loot, the flow of the game is pretty seamless. The beginning was very start and stop as we constantly would pause the game to check loot, find out what skills we had and so on (We've never played it and are learning as we go along). The gamepad controls are also really well thought out. All chatting and fighting together while sitting in the living room in front of the 46" TV. We spent several hours, the 3 boys and me, then my wife, 2 of the boys and me playing through Act I and had a blast. It also incorporates all the patches of the PC game so far.īut here is the biggie: 4 player co-op on the same game. And features a loot drop revamp to provide less, but more relevant loot. It literally addresses all the issues that were keeping me away from the game. And I picked up Diablo III for the 360 yesterday. That and I always end up playing the game alone, which is not as much fun for me.īut fast forward to September 2013. The always online requirement and the auction house were 2 major turn offs.
