Diablo III thread is in the wrong sub-section

[MicoSelva]

Some edgy moderator has moved the Diablo III thread to Made for Console Popamole RPGs section, even though the game does not fit the description of that section.

For all those modern RPGs that have been designed for consoles as their target audience. Includes console only titles and games that had a multi-platform release on launch day.

Please fix (either the classification or the description). Thanks in advance.

That might have something to do with this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-21-first-screenshots-of-diablo-3-on-playstation-released

However, since the game was obviously developed as a PC-exclusive (with no signs of obvious consolization ala Witcher 2), I agree that it shouldn't have been moved.

 

[MicoSelva]

I'm not sure porting it to anything that consumes electricity can affect the launch day PC-only release.

 

[Infinitron]

inb4 Infinitron is revealed to be the mod that moved it, causing massive butthurt.

I'm not a moderator dammit.

 

[MicoSelva]

One more thing. Not sure if the game should be classified as an RPG at all. Maybe General Gaming is its rightfull place? Just a thought.

So lets move some Ultimas, Wyzardris and Might and Magics that got later ported to consoles.

 

[Ulminati]

Launch day != port years after release. D3 is a stinking turd, but it's our stinking turd.

If Jaesun must move the thread, it should be in MMORPG discussion since it has no offline component

MobyGames classifies it as an action RPG: http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/diablo-iii

And that's what we go by.

Then why is Path of Exile in MMORPG.

And this. Butthurt guaranteed.

Diablo I and II are also Action RPGs by MobyGames definition, therefore all Diablo threads I-III should be moved as well.

Moved where? I'm explaining why it's not in General Gaming, not why it's not in Console or Computer RPG.

 

[racofer]

Here is we go again. Tell me it was not you this time, Jaesun, because that would be a tenth.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Why should it not be in MMORPG though ..

 

[Average Manatee]

Diablo 3 is pretty much agreed to be made for console popamole and all but the two Blizzard shills in the thread know it. Or to put it another way:

they designed D3 for consoles, but released a year ago on the PC just so it didn't look too obvious

 

[Spectacle]

Look, over there! It's Jessica Chobot licking a PSP!

I know what she's thinking: "Why didn't I just start working in porn instead?"

Either Computer RPG Discussion or General Gaming, but definitely not Made for Console Popamole RPGs, as it does fit the description of the subforum.

Includes console only titles and games that had a multi-platform release on launch day.

We have fucking Morrowind threads in console popamole and you worry about Diablo 3 which isn't even an RPG by any reasonable definition?

Since when we are MobyGames?

 

[MicoSelva]

Either we have rules for classifying threads or we do that at random. If all PC games that were later released on consoles are to be moved to the Popamole RPGs forum, we should start right now, because we have a lot of moving to do, starting with Ultima III, Ultima IV, original Might & Magic, etc.

Since DarkUnderlord decided this is how RPGs would be identified.

 

[Jaesun]

We have fucking Morrowind threads in console popamole

Why are you so butthurt over that XBox Exclusive game?

 

[Infinitron]

The problem with Morrowind being in the Console RPG forum, despite clearly being designed as a PC game, is that if you go by that logic, Witcher 2 should be in the Computer RPG forum, despite clearly being designed as a console game. But it's not.

Diablo 3 is an RPG because you're PLAYING A ROLE in it, IN THE GAME.

It's deceiving, however; the role you're actually playing is not of your character, it's of an idiot. Pretty lifelike, too.
