It wasn’t just a simple port. They had to do a lot of reworking of how controlling characters, and navigating menus/inventory specifically for console. If it was something they could do simply it would have been done.
It should be added for accessibility, but I doubt it’s something the team can do with limited resources.
sigh
You’re right, I always forget that they had to redesign elements and even add thing like the dodge feature.
Still though, it would be awesome to have.
Of course it would. After playing on console I don’t wish to go back to kb/m or keypad/m on my case. It just feels so much better IMO and this is from somone who prefers PC and the kb/m setup to console. Even for 3rd person action games like Dark Souls, Darkriders, Immortals Fenyx, and the like.
Damnit, I need a refund. Can’t believe controller support isn’t a thing for D3. Should be clearly stated on the sales page. Oh well, D2r, and D4 it is.
LOL

Really? Assuming controller is supported for a PC game seems risky, especially for older titles which D3 definitely is. (Then again the last time I used a controller was when N64 was the hot stuff)
Welcome to the world of disabilities and accessibility. Sadly, we can’t assume controller support for games. Would be wonderful if they brought it into D3 on PC. I’d enjoy not having to scrunch my arms to play the game. I’d do it on console (especially now that I have a PS5, yay!) but that stupid Nephalem Glory mechanic + monsters and RGs having 2x HP to “counter” that stupid mechanic just ruin the experience, especially while going 1-70 where you can’t maintain that buff, and as a result end up doing the equivalent of half damage when NG isn’t active.
Thank you.
Well, clearly the dude I replied to did just that. Now I’m not opposed to controller support by any means, whether it’s there or not does not affect me in the slightest, but if it helps someone that’s nice. I’m just saying that buying things before you check things like that up is maybe not the smartest move.
i would love to have controller support for pc too. they did it for diablo 2 resurrected so they should be able to do it for diablo 3 too
Sure, because D2R came with a pricetag. Don’t really see a huge market of people willing to pay 40 bucks for D3 with controller support on PC.
Not going to happen at this point, unless thay have been slowly working on it. The PC version of D3 is essentially a different game than the console version. Yes they tried a controller when Jay Wilson and crew started over in 2006, but the game that was released is not compatible with a controller. The console version was designed specifically for a controller.
D2R was remastered specifically with controller support from day 1. It would take some serious retooling of the PC version of D3 to make controllers work. Something I don’t think the current D3 dev team has the resources to do.
