There has been an ongoing struggle amongst all gamers about the quality of graphics in any game.
A lot of people constantly argue that Blizzard does not care about graphics or that their graphics are so sub-par that their games are not even worth playing. Blizzard has always said that their number 1 core value for their games is GAMEPLAY and in fact, graphics is not even one of their eight core values.
I personally agree with Blizzard and their values. I don't really care what a game looks like as long as it is fun to play. After all, it is the gameplay that keeps everyone playing an outdated 10 year old game, not the wonderfully dated graphics of Diablo 2 or Starcraft and Warcraft for that matter. I personally am sick of hearing everyone talk about graphics, graphics and more graphics. When will people realize that the graphics are only a small portion of what makes great games so great.

Ey just ignore those fools who still argue about graphics. They wont bother you anymore when they will have their hands on D3
So just ignore those Dewbs
Good call. There will always be haters.
Quote from "Don_guillotine" »
I find most of what they've shown about D3 straight out of a beautiful watercolor painting. I just have the feeling D3 will either still be played in 2020 or D4 will be out by then.
I think you're right. I'll still be playing

I am glad to hear so many people agree that gameplay is more important. There are several people out there who say that Diablo doesn't look real enough or that the color scheme is bad without even playing the game. "The lightning doesn't look real" or "they need to add day cycles to make it more realistic" or "the one dungeon we have seen looks stupid" Nobody has mentioned the graphics of the dungeon shown for act 2. I just can't stand it when people judge something without any real basis.

I totally agree with you, graphcis are important (ie. when we talk about imersion) but definitely is not the most important part of the game... at first I thought that D3 had too bright colours but then I saw all those creepy screenshots and I realised that the bright colours are only for the first part of the game and that the creepy feeling will build up as we go further into the game wich imo is better than just having the same dark colours all the way...
Gameplay wins over graphics any time.
The fools who complains about the graphics are either blind or plain fucked in the head.
The graphics are delicious and there's a lot of variety. Just look at Diablo 2, it had colors too you know.
Oh and besides, who would honestly want to see a realistic dungeon in a game? Oblivion did that and it turned to shit.
Agreed that gameplay is awesome, and that D2 had color, and that the gfx look tight, but why so negative on Oblivion>? Shit??? That seems a little harsh.

exactly, take D1... the sounds in that game still gives me the chills... "AHH fresh meat" god!! every time i hear that i get nervous (and my rogue can kill the fat bastard with three arrows)... saddly in D2 i didn't get the same feeling... i hope blizz gives more attention to sound this time... for what i've seen in the gameplay videos i think they are going in the right path
I find D1 looks better than D2, but I think D2 used more advanced graphics. Similarly, I don't like what DIII looks like as of now, judging from what we seen. It's not really a graphics thing. You don't need a thousand polygons to make a game look nice. And DIII just don't look right. It looks similar to Torchlight and while Torchlight is OK looking like that DIII should have a totally different atmosphere and it's not about how bright the colors are.
But, really, do you want to raise the time old discussion? lol
we are talking about gameplay vs graphics.... we are just saying that even tough graphics and sound are important for the quality of the game, gameplay is the most important....
even tho the quality isn't the greatest cause its on on a camera phone I still get an eyegasm when I watch gameplay for this game........ugh......Love it. No matter what anyone says I love the way it looks. It's so beautiful.

Graphics, as in, the technical side of things (2D/3D, the amount of polygons you have, the versions of shaders you use, etc.) are generally irrelevant. And you're not discussing graphics. You're discussing how D3 LOOKS. That's aesthetics...
yeah, the problem is that we all agree that gameplay it the most important aspect of the game so we where just trying to keep talking about something related... but we are NOT trying to bring the old discussion back to life

And more importantly, who's complaining about graphics??
I found things just find.
Ok the monk trailer looked horrible but it was not even a real cinematic...
The game itself looks gorgeous. We are not playing an FPS or something of the like...so...the game looks and feels quite awesome with all due respect.
*Do you think I've won the right to play the D3 demo thanks to this post*
I agree with Nekro that the visuals are nice in D3. I'm not gfx expert or anything but they look perty to me!
Great gameplay is what keeps me playing games for more than a few hours. More like for the last 9 yrs or so?
I <3 Diablo 3 and I haven't even played it. I joined a forum to talk and read about it for crying out loud.

I disagree, but I respect your opinion. I'm curious, what game's caverns do you like?

Well, that makes sense i guess
"Losers always whine about their best, winners go home and Fvck the prom queen."
Sound does play an important role. It sets the mood, and plays a part in setting the emotions of the game. Good point. Music, sound fx all play part.
"Losers always whine about their best, winners go home and Fvck the prom queen."
NPC dialogue, Bosses Dialogue "Looking for Baal>????" "Not even death can save you from me!"
AHHHHHH! Luv it.
Music is sweet too. I also love what the characters say during/completing quests. "The rogues are safe, for the moment."
