The new Diablo 3 on xbox 360 and PS3

So if you're like me, then you waited in line on the midnight release of Diablo 3. You called in sick to work for the next morning just to give yourself more time with one of the most anticipated games of all time. I bought 3 collectors editions ( 1 for me and 1 for each of my brothers). I bought the collectors edition strategy guide, just because I have to own the guide ( though I rarely use it, I like the artwork!). I plugged in the game and then...... well you all know what happened that fateful night/early day! Server down, game problems, the always online thing, and then it only went downhill from there. The auction house and garbage loot drops, the fact that my monk has a bow and punches with it! I could go on, but won't for our efforts this day are for a review of the new Diablo 3 for Xbox 360 and PS3. Blizzard has stated that they have updated the loot system to "loot 2.0" but it will not be active for PC players for a while, they are getting rid of auction house ( a little late now guys) and they are fixing the way loot is so crappy a lot of the time. However console players have the loot system already on their games! If you own a PC copy, stood in line, suffered as I have and have been a loyal blizzard fan since Warcraft you surely will get at least a discount or some sort of remuneration to buy the Console version right? Wrong, the game is 100% the same price for you, and your preorder bonuses don't carry over. I have been playing the demo and I actually really enjoy the game. They have added a dodge for your right stick and playing as the melee characters really feels right, the ranged work as well, the witch doctor is a little harder to use but not to the point of making it not enjoyable. The graphics look nice and playing on the big TV with 4 players is fun, though you have to fight for loot as it isn't assigned to a player. You only get to play to Leoric in the demo but I really want to buy the game. However I am torn, won't this be rewarding Blizzard for their bad behavior? Try and  tell me what you think. I plan on making an online website and YouTube channels too so keep your eyes open and tell all your friends and enemies about my site! :D This has been a review from Edges Game Lounge, keep on gaming!
