The day Blizzard starts to make a certain game on both PC and console, is the day the game in question will be worse than what it could have been if made exclusively on PC only. The reason for this is that PC's are more adaptable/advanced.
The PC could do things that consoles could not. If they were to make games for both PC and consoles, then the PC games would most likely be bogged down to be playable on the console. This means that we would get a product that is worse than what it would have been.
For example, Crysis was a game that the consoles could not handle and it was not released to consoles.
WoW was not released on console due to its seamless and non-instanced world. The consoles cannot handle the non-instanced world as easily as a PC could. Only way would be to improve console hardware and thus increase cost's.
In conclusion, PC games that are being developed for both PC and consoles is a bad idea due to the different specifications each has. One (primarily the consoles) would force the other to be bogged down to reduce developement costs and such.

Don't tell me your happy for the idea that Blizzard will charge you to buy diablo 3 gold/items like the gold selling sites... That's the worst fucking praise I have read, ever. That's not what they mean by monetizing certain features; I hope. What they probably mean is that they will charge you to change your characters name, change realms and stuff like that which is what a couple of guys already proved with sources in other threads already.

Totally agree with you about the fire bats. Although zombie wall is not that bad IMO. I just know of all the 3 classes released I will be playing WD.
Im gonna post some stuff I typed from another thread just to see what respones I get.
Man i really wish they released a video of those spells only, like they did for the WD's other spells on the main Diablo site. I hope they don't scrap these spell because their awesomel. I already know that I am going to play the WD now because of those two spells. Imagine what else he has in his aresenal.
It's so creative, better than just pure Inferno. This one has bats and inferno! Bats explode on contact with some skill runes attached? Holy shit, imagine that! He IS a witch doctor afterall, fill the bats up with some kind of exploding elixir and release the bats with flames and there you go. I think that would be Firebats with the Lethality Rune announced in the Skill Runes demonstration that made Electrocute explode.
Same concept with frogs, they explode cause the Witch Doctor cursed the frogs or filled the frogs up with exploding acid elixir.
In this video you can see the Firebat spell and the Frog Plauge spell in action but you can only see what the animation looks like. I want to hear the sounds too and with better quality

No you just have bad eyes. 2 genders for each of the released class = 6 avatars showing.

Yea it was except for the part where he says that using WoW's money for D3 is a valid reason as to why Diablo 3 shouldn't be charged more.
Sure I do not want to spend more money but that reason is utterly stupid because D3 is a whole new game and genre from WoW. It deserves to makes it's own money not using WoW's money to bring it over to D3.

DUDE! Thats how I exactly imagine it! Bats screaming like crazy with the sounds of a flame thrower; but don't you wanna see it in action with no other spells being cast?
I can see how it might be cheesy to some but I think its great! It's so creative, better than just pure Inferno. This one has bats and inferno! Bats explode on contact with some skill runes attached?

PS: Sounds like I am going off-topic now into class discussion =/. I like it here better in the General Diablo discussion, because this section of the forums have more attention.

Hopefully blizz releases the spell videos themselves seeing that we already know about them.
