though the only thing separating consoles from pc is control input - so i guess what i'm actually saying is that diablo 3 is better with a controller AS ARE MOST PC GAMES (though RTS games are only playable with mouse and keyboard i mean come on)

how long until blizz relents and allows 360 controllers to be used with PC diablo 3

Actually OP, playing torchlight 2 I felt like having a d-pad like input for movement instead of clicking would benefit that game a lot, seeing as it has a much bigger focus on movement than let's say diablo 2. I just didn't know what to do to cram the same amount of keys on a controller, and aiming without a mouse is much worse for ranged users. So I'm really curious about how d3 plays on controllers, but I bet it's just that being a ranged character sucks.

my legs are okay
we could argue about "FPS with a controller" vs "FPS with a mouse and keyboard" back and forth for pages, but i'm just gonna nip it in the bud: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/ms-killed-pc-xbox-cross-platform-play

Microsoft scrapped plans to allow PC and Xbox 360 gamers to play shooters like Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War online together because during tests "console players got destroyed every time".

a game with the movement and shooting gameplay from smash tv but items, skills, and all the other stuff from torchlight 2 would probably be cool

D3 on console actually controls like an action game and that honestly sounds a lot more fun than point and click

If D3 on PC let you and your friends play like it was some kind of online Secret of Mana I'd probably still be playing it

oh yeah; console controller vs mouse+keyboard players = console players getting destroyed

but that's not the point

the point is

diablo 3 is way better with a controller

edit: okay you know, i don't KNOW that a mouse n keyboard player would destroy a controller player in diablo 3 - but i'd definitely pay, like, a dollar - like a whole american dollar - to see how that'd play out

Any game on the pc that is better with a controller is probably a bad game, see also: Dark Souls
