when i saw the witch doctor in the gameplay demo i was sold lol
like come on, dog things infected with locusts that not only attack, but disease the enemy?
KICK ASS!
i wonder what the other classes will be though...
same here, 1/5 now, because if theres no pali or necro, the game cant call itself "Diablo", right?
Dont make another copy of WoW or Titan Quest, please.
Paladin and Necromancer never were on the first Diablo and well... it was the game that introduced the franchise
as of WoW, it wont be like that and the gameplay video proved it (thankfully, as much as i like WoW, i want Diablo to be... Diablo!). And Titan Quest was a cheap (and very very boring) copy of Diablo (as in gameplay without the interesting story and completely unbalanced).
Looking great so far, I like the way its shaping up. Only complaint is it could look a little bit grittier, but I'm sure it will far before it's released. 5/5 for me.

Meh, I really doubt she can 'sense evil' or whatever. She was probably just excited about a shoe sale or something, coincidentally when evil was about.
When I first viewed the video, I was quick to misjudge it, and label it as "Bad." Now that I look at the game, I am fairly satisfied as to what is yet to come. My only problems thus far are the sounds and visuals of the game, but hopefully those will be altered for the better.
I am upset with certain choices they are making, but a ton of people have complained about the graphics. I am sure they will do something to solve this problem.
4/5 While I love the new gameplay I can't help but notice the complaints about the graphics and I do partially agree.
And for those that are hating on the people with complaints, we are not trying to ruin the game for anyone, we are trying to voice our opinions so that hopefully it can be changed and the game can be as great as it can possibly be. Also, even if it weren't changed, other aspects of the game do seem to be on par for me. For instance, the gore factor really reminds me at points of the original diablo.
When i saw the cinematic trailer my impression was 5/5, "Finally Diablo 3!".
Then when i saw the gameplay video, it dropped all the way down to 1/5. Why? You might ask. Because this game they call Diablo 3, has more elements from warcraft universe than diablo.
I mean, just look at it, cartoonish, blurry, hand drawn warcraft textures, warcraft style 3d models whit warcraft texturing style again.
They even raped Cain whit warcraft colours.
Go play D2 forever...
When you make a game with 2d art and sprites, it's really easy to go overboard on the texture detail and art.
Now that we have 3d, we have the amazing animations and physics. The diablo world has come to life!
They will add grittiness and detail to D3, just wait and stop being such a philistine.
What are the chances Blizzard is reading all your complaints here instead of working? They said they are trying to bring back the Diablo feeling so I'd be surprised if they didn't at least put the dark atmosphere in the right places. You're complaining about the darkness, yet Act 1 of D2 didnt really have alot of dark colors unless it got dark or you went into a tunnel. At best, for me, D2 color's can be described as monotone and it just seemed dark because they really didnt use bright colors and it just kind of annoyed me after a while seeing the same colors over and over again. So what if it does look a little WoWish, at least they ARE updating the graphics.
So stop being a little griefer and just wait, you can bitch and complain about it not being dark if or when they show a dungeon that doesnt have the right atmosphere. They arent even finished with the game for god's sakes.

"And the Evil that was once vanquished shall rise anew! Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent, and terror shall consume they that dwell upon the earth! The sky shall rain fire, and the seas will become as blood! The righteous shall fall before the wicked, and the lord of creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!"

I think alot of people are upset with how the game has gone 3d. Honestly, I always expected that there would be very much evolution in the gameplay. Diablo 2 came out ages ago and the technology has really taken off since. I suspect there will be a bit to get used to. I feel that the story will still be immersive and the gameplay rewarding. That being said I gave it a 4/5. I liked what I saw and nothing can be perfect. I will be waiting for my copy though I doubt I'll get the deluxe special collector's edition.

The blind mind's eye replies with a sigh and a tear of contempt for those who see the world as it truly is.
5/5 seems like a broken answer. The game is uncompleted and it's like say "It's so awesome I'd take it as a completely broken game!" but then in retrospect, playing that broken game would be so dull and boring as it's not even close to finished, it's like a demo that it should technically be around 1/5.
Anyways, I voted 3/5 because technically I believe 4/5 is the logical highpoint, and I think there is room for improvement.
