Cross save would get me to double duo. Not even cross-play just cross-save.
I'm in.
And, I mean, begrudgingly. I've put so much time into the PS4 version, and done just about everything I've set out to do with it -- grinded 3 characters, completed the raid numerous times, go flawless with my team in Trials nearly every week. Turning around to start on PC, and knowing where the game goes, my excitement has taken on a form of indifference.
I know that when I start a character on PC I will have fun. I will appreciate the KB+M and graphics bump, as well as FOV settings with an uncapped framerate. I will enjoy it, up to a point, but that point will come much sooner, and eventually D2 on PC will just end up being where I play MP, and not likely be where I play with most of my friends.
I want the option of being able to turn to PC for future content releases, when I expect D2 to shape up rather nicely. I wish I could bring my characters from PS4.
D2 launch on PC is going from very exciting to bitterly disappointing, and that's coming from someone who loves this series. I can't imagine that it'll be a success for Bungie.

"The game people have warned isn't as great as hoped, actually kind of a let-down, NOW coming to PC! Buy it before the hype dies down any further!"
I was actually once looking forward to playing this but the delay for the PC version actually gave me ample time to see what people said about the game during the console release and now I am honestly not interested anymore. The story sounds pretty bad and they fixed little to none of the issues I had playing Destiny 1, like a severe lack of environmental storytelling that should be a bloody given when you build large environments and have that damn good artists, or that the classes still lack anything to really separate them except a few abilities.
I think Wolfenstein 2 has my priority.

I'm pretty sure it will do alright for Bungie at least from the people I know they are going to be picking up the game where before with it being console exclusive they weren't that interested. I think the playerbase will be much smaller compared to the PS4/Xbox but still successful for them.
Even heard a few people at work are going to play it just because it is on battle.net so they can use their WoW gold to get it for free... if you call grinding for over a decade playing WoW free ;p

I'm glad I'll get to play it on PC but I highly doubt I'll level more than one character and I'll probably just do the raid once and put the game down.
It's a good game but I'm honestly kind of underwhelmed by it. I'll play through it with friends on PC, but for me the game has almost no legs.

Playing the best version is not second class. I'm looking forward to the added positives of playing on PC even if I have some issues with the game in it's current form after pouring tons of time into it on Xbox.

So glad I held out for the PC version. Despite the gripes I've heard since launch, I know I'll still have a good time with this.

If a bunch of weeks is enough to turn you away from a game where you have to play at least 50 hours to get value out of it, chances are that you would not have liked it anyway, whatever makes you feel better for doing so I guess.
Very strong possibility that hand cannons will feature much more prominently on PC.
We'd get some very interesting numbers if D2Tracker could track the number of kill trades on PC vs consoles. This stat alone would tell a story about how vast the gulf is between console and PC. I say this as someone that's likely to stick with the console version.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm not cancelling my preorder, as most of it was paid for with WoW gold anyway, bit I am definitely less excited than I was. I'm sure I'll enjoy it for a few weeks, but I'm disappointed with all the reports that Bungie essentially replaced launch D1 issues with a whole new set of issues for D2 instead of actually moving forward in a positive way.

Activision's presence on Steam is almost non-existent regardless.

Beat everything in 80 hours. They need way more content for me to double dip

After 100 hours of D2 on PS4, I just can't justify buying the PC version again, maybe if they allow for character transfer later.
You know what, I agree with this. I probably would've bought this day one.

Not even about the content for me, I just refuse to redo everything I've already done. Cross-save would make this an easy purchase.

This, Wolfenstein, and Odyssey.
Hot dang I really should just take the week off from work.

A bunch of week to get A LOT of feedback from people playing it. And no one is complaining about the look of the game or even the controls or framerate - things that will be different on PC. They're complaining about content, something that won't change on any platform. So I think, yeah, a bunch of weeks is plenty enough to turn you off of something you might have been looking forward to.
It's a week from tomorrow.
Assassin's Creed Origins is the same week as well. It's kind of a crowded week.

I already did almost everything in the game on PS4, all side-quests, PvP, raid, etc.
If i'm was a PC player i would be pretty annoyed of having to wait two months and not being able to have a fresh discussion, because almost everyone already did all the content and have a formed opinion about the game. Everything is already discovered, tons of information of how to do beat the raids, Nightfalls, etc. And it won't even have all the maps and weapons/armor, because of the PS4 exclusive content.
The events will also come to PC always late, like Iron Banner or Prestige Raid.
But the uncapped fps and 4k must be real nice.

Yup, on Gears 4 I could play on Xbone with friends, then on PC when nobody was on, it was amazing. Id love to bring over my characters from PS4..
Overwatch is at 35 million players, not sales. Those player numbers include every single person that played the free weekends, as well as console users playing the game bought by someone else on the same console.
And yes, CS GO has done over 30 million sales.
And yes, CoD would bomb harder on Battle.net. People only use Battle.net because of Blizzard's games.

Yes, Blizzard pre-loads all their games including the D2 beta.

I'm not looking forward to doing the campaign 3 more times. I'd gladly pay more just to skip it again.

If they want to make that step, then they need to do a better job with CoD PC ports, because I can't remember the last one that wasn't absolutely shitty.
Source?

Those accolades in the trailer gave me quite a laugh.

Myself and common sense. It doesn't make sense to Bungie release The Prestige Raid on PC together with consoles, because the level cap will increase from 305 to 350, so PC players would never have the experience of killing Calus with the right level.
It also doesn't make sense to do Iron Banner event if people on PC didn't even finished the campaign.
Warlock is awesome in D2.
Theres always pvp which i enjoy

oh god, please no more Call of Duty DLC banners clogging the front page
I doubt it. If they wanted to they could have with the new COD. I think they only put destiny in because it kinda just fits in with the games on bnet. COD wouldnt fit at all.. but thats just my opinion. I would hate to see cod come on bnet

This.
No way I'm buying without character transfer and being able to play same dude on PS4 and PC.

Looking forward to playing this despite the complaints about the endgame. As long as I get a good 40-80 hours of co-op fun Ill be happy with my purchase. Not looking for the game to be a massive second job like WoW anyway.
