Basically, in the end, it's okay to complain about the game, but you cant go around insulting blizzard and claimining the game will suck just because it is different from Diablo 2. Diablo 2 was different from Diablo 1, not to mention the makers of Diablo 3 ARE NOT the makers of Diablo 1 and 2, so you should expect something different. Also, as someone said before, compared to today's standards, D1 and D2 are hideous. They arent just trying to make us ol' Diablo fans happy with Diablo 2.5, they want to get new people into the game. Besides, the game will be successful for sure, look how many people went and re-bought the Diablo 2 and expansion set right after the announcement.
Come on... You thought I was serious?
Well actually it would be kinda fun if it was the only mode available, but I understand that not everyone likes the thrill of constant fear of dying and losing all your stuff, so a softcore mode must be included of course
I would love that... the difference with softcore and hardcore was that the kiddies never went over to hardcore and i would get to kill annoying people. But anyway, there really isnt any reason to not bring hardcore because it has such a big fanbase. I've heard people say many times that they wont play D3 if there is no hardcore..
First of all, No the boss kills were not scripted. I can imagine thats the kind of new things that Diablo 3 will implement which is awesome if you ask me... But what i am really concerned about is how will that affect hardcore because if that is not an option then Im out like many others.
as far as the legion of ghouls running up the walls, it looks gay. Looks more annoying then fun. I am just disappointed really in all the small things about the game for example...
when shit dies, there is no death animation like in the previous diablos, instead now the corpses blow up into peices and everything looks "arcade"- like.
Health orbs? blizzard your fucking stupid.. everyone knows thats fucking lame, what is this? Gauntlet legends or some shit
Inventory space? blizzard your fucking stupid. The reason people loved all three of your games (warcraft, diablo, and starcraft) was because they were all different and unique. A potion is the same size as a 2-hander? gofukyaself
All character models looks fucking lame! I am not going to say they look like WOW or W3, but cmon guys. I WANT EVERYONE TO POP IN D2 AND TELL ME THAT GAME DOES NOT LOOK BETTER.
People posted, none of the diablo's scared you? Turn the volume up and disable the maphacks so you can see the light radius and tell me you dont get goosebumps when you hear something scurrying around in the darkness.
THEY KILLED DIABLO, STOP DEFENDING IT
Calm the hell down, and no, Diablo wasnt fucking scary. I barely ever used maphack, how pitiful can you be to actually be scared when playing a game? How old are you? 10?
No matter how much you moan and complain here, you are just one person. I'm sure Blizzard would change to attract tens of thousands of new players rather than keep you or the other 5 people who agree with you. This isnt Diablo 2, this is Diablo 3, there are things that are going to change because it's been 8 years. I wont comment on graphics, but changes to inventory and weapon graphics are welcomed changes for me. Without stuff like this, D3 would be D2, just more story and better graphics.
The only reason it was currency because there were like a million of those things floating around because of dupes.
Also, i'm not one of those guys crying over the graphics and saying it looks like WoW, but i will bitch at Blizzard IF they just transport stuff directly from WoW to D3.. When you're coming up with an idea, dont bring them from WoW.
I thought the Worldstone not only supressed the power of the Nephalem, but also hid Sanctuary from Heaven and Hell. If Sanctuary is hidden, how could the Prime Evils be banished to Sanctuary or how did Tyrael know of Sanctuary? Am i wrong or is that a plot hole?
Or maybe the Worldstone just made Heaven and Hell unable to invade?
Did you choose that completely at random? It seems irrelevant. The point is this not that they look similar to any particular World of WarCraft player character archetype, but rather that they would fit right in because it is the same art style, attempting to compensate for the same minimalistic modelling and texturing -- these are the World of WarCraft's artists, after all.
Stylisation is great, but if the point of stylisation is to differentiate a franchise from others, why use another franchise's style?
The fact is, this freakin thread isnt about your fucking childish arguments about cartoonish graphics, it is about the actual graphics selection screen of d2, so maybe you should focus on that instead
Quote from "Ody" »
Wow, for a new game that's just coming out, the gameplay graphics are even worse than WoW's.
Blizz said they want the game to be able to work on as many systems as possible... When has Diablo ever been about graphics? I read somewhere that Diablo 2 was criticized about graphics, but guess what, it's been 8 years and there are over 50,000 people still playing
Okay... what the hell is a picture of Slowpoke doing on a Diablo forum?
Probably to explain to the OP that he is a bit slow on the uptake. I'm pretty sure everyone realized he ripped apart/ate the male barbarian. He also picked up the female witch doctor, lit her on fire in his claws and slammed her into the ground and she floated in that little pool for the rest of the fight.
If gold was used more often, I dont think we would have to worry about grinding. You guys are forgetting that this isnt Warcraft, this is Diablo where the gameplay is FUN. I would actually want more reason to kill monsters rather than just bosses.
i'll still buy the game reguardless, but without hardcore being hardcore(a CHALLENGE) i imagine i will finish hellmode or the equivalent within a month. and then just go back to guitar hero or somethng
Hardcore will still be a challenge because of dying from monsters (which, will probably happen in diablo 3) but pking is what made hardcore, HARDCORE

The video is pretty much self explanatory.
