joriandrake: It's a pretty bad sign if you call it "ported on PC" already, that usually means at the very least console-like controls, or just very messy ones

StingingVelvet: From what I understand it's simply a program that runs along with the game and makes sure the .exe has not been modified in any way. I read it never connects to the internet and therefore might not be DRM depending on your definition. In any case I personally didn't have any issues with it.

joriandrake: one can edit the config of keyboard keybinds for it, no?

atleast, I think you can, based on these videos

also, as I recall you get 2 additional mini campaigns in DA3 just for multiplayer, might be totally wrong here though, am deadly tired and a tiny bit drunk atm o.O

Elmofongo: I am sure he did and it still felt like it was made for consoles.

Third Person Real Time Melee combat rarely works well because of the camara. Thats why MMORPGs has their combat the way it is (well games like WOW and Everquest and SWTOR) I personally prefer first person for PC games it just controls better than third person.

joriandrake: I always liked third person, you see more of pretty surroundings too, and I am used to it for over a decade, unless it is top down view/ISO I prefer 3rd person, the only exception where I can tolerate 1st person is shooters, with a few rare (usually hybrid) genre games like Deus Ex or Morrowind.

...um I derailed a bit
In any case, perspective is not something that depends on being an MMO or console game, but sadly you can usually still easily recognize if a game was made with console sales in mind.

Elmofongo: Personally I find first person more immersive. Especially in game like Arma which sadly most people play the game in third person for the exact same reason you said it defeats the purpose of it being a simulator.

joriandrake: hm

I don't like "simulators" as a genre much, but I prefer adventure games and RPG, both of which have their roots in tabletop pen and paper RPG. You know how the Game Master describes your surroundings? Looking at the scene in most games with 3rd person perspective gives me the same feeling, while 1st person feels as if I am handicapped to look through a box in just one direction.

I can't properly explain it I guess as English is not my native language, something like how a horse would see with this on their head

Elmofongo: But aren't we all looking everywhere in first person with our eyes ;)

qwixter: So I got the game today as I mentioned, and it took a long time to download, about 1.5-2 hours. I am completely surprised at how it plays. I only watched gameplay videos on youtube, and I thought I was buying a dragon age style game.

This is a first person diablo. Now I am not upset about this turn of events, but it really caught me off guard, and shows how poor my ability to judge games via videos is. I usually try not to watch too much of the video at once if a game has a story so I can minimize spoilers.

I think I will like the game. The only annoyance thus far for me is the slight stutter during cutscenes due to the forced 30 fps limit during them.

qwixter: All I did was add this on the command line for the .exe desktop shortcut:

-GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+
