It's largely an online game, this is not really what Ubisoft did. Ubisoft did it for games that were single player games. D3, to the vast majority of people, is an online game...not near as big of a deal.

They also detailed why they did this. Your single player progress transfers to the online portion of the game. By being connected this ensures that people won't hack the offline portion and then take their character online.

I really fail to see how very many people can complain about this...who really buys this game to play offline?...not enough people for blizzard to worry about that's for sure.

I really hope this comes out on the 360

Blizzard "serious" about console Diablo 3

Quote:

Blizzard has given its firmest indication to date that Diablo 3 is coming to consoles. While lead designer Josh Mosqueira stopped short of confirming the port out right during a Gamescom press conference today, he stated that the developer "is very, very serious about bringing the Diablo 3 experience to the console." He added that, as reported earlier this year, Blizzard is currently in the process of recruiting a team to handle a potential console version of the action RPG sequel. "Today, we're trying to build the best console team at Blizzard. We're looking for programmers, designers, artists who think their dream job would be to bring Diablo to the console. Trust me, it is a dream job. "All I can say is it's going to be awesome. Stay tuned."

If so, I hope it's cross platform! Probably not though

Wow, if they're just now getting the team together, aren't we talking about years away from release if they actually do a console version?

I don't think I ever played Diablo 2 online. I know some of my friends were the same way.
