I mean obviously D2 has infinitely more options and its a bigger game etc, however the atmosphere is much more childish than the dark feel D1 gave. So far of what ive seen from D3 it totally sucks, it looks cartoonish and just a mini WoW, lame. Or maybe it's just that when D1 came out you were far younger and had never played a game like that. In terms of atmosphere i've known people to play it the other way around and felt D2 was far creepier. D3 will be very successful and anyone who's a fan of the series will enjoy it i'm sure. Your interpretation of worse holds true for yourself and select others. But i doubt it will be proven upon release. no i didnt play D1 when it came out but much later, its not hard to see just go back and see D1 it has a much more serious atmosphere, D2 has childish things like some "Spells", for example the barbarian whirlwind etc, those are just silly . D1 is very creepy and its only limited by its graphic resources, some of the wild colored monsters were more because of this limitations than pure intent. D3 is crap, weapons now have a purple glow, spells are so bright and colorful than a battle looks like a fucking rainbow, the graphics are aimed to look cartoonish (like WC3 or WoW), and its a shame because with todays technology and resources the story and monster development will be very good but it totally lacks the darkness the original Diablo had, and its not the standard nostalgia speaking i am not a nostalgic person at all.

Like i said your interpretation holds true for yourself and a few others. But a lot of people don't see it that way including myself. Blizzard always delivers as far as i'm concerned.

Agreed. I think all the content I have watched from Diablo III has been awesome, except for the cheapish character trailers on the website. The gameplay looks really fun.

i refuse to watch any of it cos iwant to play the game without knowing what that shit is about.

and D2 is way >>>>>>>D1

And i remember playing D1 when i was a kid and i was shitting my pants when butcher was chasing me

these?

agree w/ baal

also sc2 sux balls

Most of the footage in the game is from the first act, and they want the game to get progressively darker as you get further into it. I think they will probably have it pretty dark, toward the last few acts, like they normally do. Since they been aware of it for so many years, by raging fans. Loved Diablo 1, but felt Diablo 2 delivered a lot more, the trailers in between the acts was sick (atleast at the time, not seen them in many years). And you got so addicted to mf'ing and scamming people. I kinda took a liking to SC2 after restarting it 10 times, still, it's no Sc, it's just a replicate with sick AI and to smooth colors, I get annoyed at lots of weird stuff. You attack with a max army, it's just a big blob, each time "pro commentators" comment, and it's a ZvZ battle, no1's got a clue what's going on till it's over (I'm over exagerrating a little). But being extremly picky, and comparing it to sc1 now. Most games kinda fade to Blizzard games unfortunatly. Although Heroes 2, 3 doesnt =p

but you will have a yellow glowing axe, a green aura, you will throw purple flashy spells with some shiny red shit going on too... how can that remotely give a dark feel.

Yes D2 delivered much more because its a bigger game with much more resources poured into it, it was a really good game, but why cant they do a really good game that also retains the darkness

yes D2 > D1 but because of the game not the feel... the butcher was scarier than any monster in D2.

Looking way better than it first did. For a while it looked like it was going to be terrible (with Blizzard though I think they have earned the benefit of the doubt). Now I'm looking forward to it again. Hard to keep enthusiasm up for a game that is taking 20 years to make. Diablo III has turned into another Black and White or Daikatana.

looks really damn good IMO

ahhhh fresh meat!!!

Baal knows this demon shit by heart, listen to him.



I also remember how Resident Evil scared the shit out of me the first time I played that game, ever since the Re2 sequel it's been really the same rehashed shit

I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little worried too. I felt the depth and gamefeel of WoW around s2, s3 started to get really really good. And there was a massive difference in skill, spells to use, reaction, talents so forth. (4 - 5 years ago)

So when they announced the next patch, I actually laughed and thought it was a spoof, april fools or whatever. Then someone said something bout a lot of reforming in Blizzard, some company had bought them up or something like that. (Not quite sure, activision or something?)

Then a massive change, and they literally destroyed the game for the 1% top players, so that the 99% rest, would look the same as the top players, and have around 50/50.

Like a mage could downrank spells, so the top mages, could have 2-3 of each spells, bound on different keys, to use in different circumstances. It was really well thought out, but changed, all ranks moved, 1 spell, done. For rogues, they removed almost every option, and put in a new ability that spend 60% of all our energy and did the most damage, so when you normally had 10 options, you now almost always had 1.

And they redid all classes, dumbed the game so much it was beyond repair (for an e-sport, skill perspective)
+ they made it so that everyone could have gear that looked exactly the same as the "elitist"

It felt like, this choice was done, because they would get more revenue from the casuals.

Why i'm writing this, is, maybe they feel that only a small % want it dark, brutal, and awesome, and all the kids, the mom's, the casuals want the chars to be more bobbly, have lots of colors and more friendly?

sry for rant!!

i know what you mean, i quit WoW after patch 2.4 came out and started playing bw instead, basically everything went downhill after they put amor penetration into the game. It became much easier to 3shot people and basically a lot harder to outplay people.

Why is everyone afraid of colors? JEEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS.

I played the game at Blizzcon for 3 days straight. It's fucking straight-up AMAZING. Stop being so critical of the colors.

Do you not read? Rainbows and fairy lights don't exactly set the atmosphere of evil and dread. For some people it will detract from what they are hoping the game will be, which is dark and ominous.

companies make games to be bought, bright and flashy sells while dark and atmospheric is relegated to indie games trying to make a name for themselves. it really sucks cause d1's atmosphere was so fucking awesome, i love that game single player.

i didnt play half life 1 cos i was scared of crawling through the vents...

to this age i hate watching horror movies. It's not that im scared , i jsut fukn hate the suspension and then nothing scary happens.

Sweet, thanks for updated posts
