The 360 and PS3 editions (and presumably the PS4) of Diablo III have also been slightly streamlined, though only to remove things that didn’t go over well in the PC version. Which means you can try out different attacks and their modifiers to see which works best. Unless you’re in the middle of a fight, you can not only decide what attack each button will do, but also which of the modifiers for each attack you’d like as well. Similarly, while most games like this have you spending points when you picking a special skill or attack skill, only letting you change when you have more points, Diablo III lets you chose whatever you want when you want (assuming, of course, you’ve unlocked them already). For instance, you can now interact with parts of the dungeons and other areas you explore, knocking away support beams to drop a wall on someone, or breaking a chain that’s holding up a chandelier to send it crashing down on someone’s head.
