You know what? I think, while Diablo 2 is a fun game, Diablo captured the true spirit of Diablo. Sure, in Diablo 2 you kill a lot of demons. There's some lore. Ok. Now in Diablo, it actually feels like you're decending into Hell, the dungeons get steadily creepier, the music is perfect, the darkness... I like Diablo. But Diablo 2, with no atmosphere, comes down to mad-click fests and a bit of lore.
What would you say the true spirit of Diablo is, Mr. You're-not-a-true-fan?
I don't know where your offense comes towards me, I never said anything about the feel, spirit, etc. of any Diablo game, I merely referred to it when talking about the gameplay. I agree with you completely that Diablo 1 set the mood for both Diablo 1 and 2 (for me anyways), obviously not only because it is the first game but also because you are in darkness the entire game, witnessing first-hand the horrors of hell. Diablo 2 was faster and it offered many different things that Diablo 1 didn't offer (many different characters, crafting items, magic finding, etc) therefore more distraction from the actual storyline and feeling of the game. In fact, almost all of the people I know who started out playing Diablo 2 rather than Diablo 1, don't even know the storyline. As far as the "spirit" of Diablo, I think that both games are eerie and dark, just in different ways. In the first game, you find about the evil and go searching through dungeons and learning more about the story the deeper you go. In Diablo 2 it is lightened up a little bit in my opinion, you are trying to catch up with evil in more of an open environment, witnessing horror as you trail; but there are still dark dungeon trips.

Really, Leatus, if you are right, every single company should be making a MMO right now. Except that isn't happening.

If you don't know how Diablo is a grind-fest you are REALLY on the wrong forum, mate.
Perhaps you shouldn't be in the forum since you apparently have issues with reading and communication. It is quite obvious that I KNOW that Diablo is a hack & slash grind-fest, I never said that I don't like it. I said that there is much more to Diablo than fast-paced grinding. I love the gameplay of Diablo, but I also love the storyline of Diablo, I personally don't think Blizzard would change the gameplay of the next Diablo game radically so I'm not really worried about it; but if they do it doesn't really bother me, because I love everything about Diablo, especially the storyline. Lastly, I'm really not your mate.
Also I think that Blizzard could make quite a bit of money off of making another MMO, and it has been suggested already several times. By setting up dual-subscription offers. Even if they do this it doesn't really matter if they are competing against themselves because Diablo has it's own community and the game would appeal to them, and also the millions of people who have been introduced to Blizzard by World of Warcraft.

The idea of choosing a side is prerty pathedic in my opinion. Why would they change it to the mortal relm to heaven are hell? 2 games we are mortals going down into hell and destroying diablo. I no the change in that would probably be fun but I still think we should descent deeper into hell and kill diablo in the 3rd game
Obviously you are idea to the idea of carrying on a storyline. I doubt they would change us from playing as mortals as well, but that doesn't mean anything about WHERE we play. The worldstone is destroyed and it was said that changes are made that no one can foresee (or something like that). So something is obviously going to be different in Diablo 3.
Well to the possiblility tha Tyreal is evil and by destroying the worldstone lets hordes of demons come into the word. Well theres one little twist. Maybe Belial is on the mortal realm and brings back the three. Lots of crazy ideas. I dont mind if heaven interfers witht he game more but the idea of being a angel are being in heaven just...idk dosent suit the game. I dont mind going deep into hell maybe we all die and come back as angels and launch the final attack against hell and we fihgt along side angels. I like the angel idea at end of game just as long as the game is LONG! and cannot be defeated in 48 hours. Their is no good diablo game without a storyline. I cnat stand people who dont even bother to watch the cinimatics at the end of each act and dont care about the storyline. Personally if i was making diablo3 id make the story line perminet so people have to watch it.

Lol I agree totally. People who dont listen to story line and call people nerds who no the storyline well. It annoys me
Never heard anyone call anyone a nerd for knowing the stoyrline. They just ask "How do you no this"

IT TAKES PLACE IN HEAVEN!! LMFAO HOW ON EARTH WOULD YOU NO?? I seriously doubt it would take place in heaven. Why would they change everythign and were now angels? We will be mortals as always. Mortals dont play in heaven. mortals are on earch descending into hell. Thats how it is and thats how it always will be
Wow someone who just joins takes me side on 2 things. lol im not that special am i?

ok i was looking for diablo stuff at school and i found somthing about buying or downloading the diablo cinematics from diablo 1 and 2 and you get some deleted content. i think i googled "deleted content from diablo" once agian i think.
i think if it had something to do with fighting along side with angels then at the begining of the game you choose either heaven or hell and you fight along with the angels or demons.
They should make a storyline diablo3. Then make a fun diablo game that allows you to choose sides.

i think if they dont make a diablo III for there next game. then i think we should make our own game. ok yes it is hard. and yes it is hard to find a game making program. i should know i have tried for a long time. but have any of you ever heard of a website game called kingdom of loathing. one of my friends got me into it. and it was fun for about a month. we could make a game like it but so it is playable for over a month.
well i really want to make a diablo game. i went online to find game programs and found one called darkbasic. and it said you could download for free. but i was tired. so the next day i went to download. and i had to pay.
but ya when i get out of highschool im going to go to college and do computer software and programming. and then on the off hand do some game making. then after college i will go to microsoft or like intel. if they dont hire me then it will be blizzard and electronic arts. but thats along ways from now and i havnt even icked a college yet.
ya and kingdom of loathing is sorta like a turned based game. but its not as bad as you think.
Meh, I was proposing the whole "let's make a Diablo" idea, too, but I don't think we have anybody at this time. Maybe 4 years later we'll have Carloseus modeling for us and me and you programming for us.
Sounds liek a good idea to me. If i no its under evelopment then idc how long it takes.

I wish someone gave me an order to start designing my diablo. That's a lot of work.
