The boss fight at the end of Act 2 has a completely different camera angle attached, making it more controller friendly for console play. Nephalem Valor is also introduced, which grants bonuses to a variety of things and increases with each yellow power orb you pick up. Nephalem Stacks, a mechanic in Inferno that boosts your Magic Find and Gold Find stats when killing elite/champion mobs, has been reduced to a limit of three stacks here. There’s a host of other, smaller changes as well.

The only real difference between online and offline co-op is that loot is shared when playing offline, but online works in a very similar fashion to the PC version of the game.
Online play seemed fine from what I experienced, and local co-op is definitely fun if you’ve got a dedicated group of friends to play with. You can now play online or off, with three other buddies in tow either way. Also gone is the always online requirement. Gone is the Auction House, real money or otherwise. But by and large I think this is a massive improvement to the loot system currently present on the PC version of the game.Īnd loot isn’t the only change. There’s a little more randomization to blue and yellow tiered gear, so you’ll run across some stuff that’s not specific to your class.

And again, there’s a good chance that gear will lead to an upgrade for you or your follower. This actually makes the moments when you spot a yellow piece of gear on the ground feel sort of special. While you will see the occasional bit of trash, you don’t tend to see loot drop very often. This takes out some of that pesky randomization that could lead to some absolutely awful stat rolls, so instead of dreading that moment when you identify a legendary item, you’ll actually look forward to it.Īnd the run of the mill rare items aren’t bad either. Granted, early level legendary items aren’t going to last very long, but it’s clear that there’s a system in place now to assign stats to gear that’s very specific to the class you’re playing as.
Despite being inundated with legendary gear throughout my playtime, the majority of those drops were legitimate upgrades. And I haven’t finished Act 1 of Inferno yet.Īnother aspect, and probably the most important improvement to loot here, is that the stuff that drops is actually good. I can even stand my ground on the new Master difficulties implemented here, replacing the aforementioned Monster Power difficulty adjusters from the PC. I’m geared to a ridiculous degree going into Act 1 of Inferno, the highest difficulty level in the game. How has loot improved here? I’ve collected more legendary items throughout my complete runs of Normal, Nightmare, and Hell than I’ve ever seen in the PC version of the game.
Of course we now know that “Loot 2.0” is coming along with the recently announced expansion next year, and that’s probably when I’ll stop playing the console version of Diablo III and go back to PC. There have been some tweaks, but the overall itemization is still pretty bad. While Diablo III has come a long way on the PC since its initial launch, loot has remained an issue. The difference between the two is night and day, not in the way they look or play, but in the way their respective loot systems work.īasically, loot and itemization is massively improved here. It’s taken about 20 hours with the console version of Diablo III to catch up to what I’ve accomplished on the PC version in 300 hours.
