well, I'd like to start out with the most .... interesting quote out of that article...
"It's even harder to believe that a ten year old girl can lubricate her entire body with egg yolks then squirm into the urethra of her mother's penis and follow it until she returns to the womb, but I saw the drawings. It can happen, people."
That scared the hell out of me...
That out of the way. I think people are over-reacting.
Ok, fine, I'll admit, D3 doesn't look like crysis, or Supreme commander, it's not a groundbreaking graphics engine. Who Cares!? Last time I checked D2 wasn't groundbreaking anymore either... yet people still play it online all the time. Strange isn't it, maybe that thing ... oh what's it called.... Oh right, Gameplay. Maybe the gameplay in D2 is good enough that people keep coming back, Hell blizzard has D2 as still the most successful action RPG of all time, they have starcraft, one of the most played RTS games of all time, and now they have WOW, the biggest MMORPG of all time, hell, I think these guys may know how to make games that have great gameplay value... Holy crap, they might actually be focusing on the gameplay, instead of making graphics that will only run on a quadcore +SLI system... :shock: :Amaze: :Wonderment:
Second.
OMG THE NECRO'S BEEN REPLACED!!!
Wow, blizzard made a change, which hasn't even been confirmed yet...
IIRC, they made a HUGE change from D1-D2, that EVERYONE thought would make the game suck. they took out spell scrolls, and spell books, no more anyone learing fireball...
But Wait... D2 prevailed, even despite the much dreaded change. :Shock: :Amaze... you get the point.
Second on this, we don't know the necro's been replaced, we may have a small crossover in skill sets, who knows, necro's might come back with curses, and resurrects instead of summoning demons...
Third
WTF?!?!?! Floating health thingies.
Ok. I'll admit this one 'kinda' concerns me, there was a bit of strategy required with the potion belt, I'm kinda with most fans on this one, I do like potions, not the way D2 did them, hated the slow regen effect of them, but still, I liked potions, this one will definately take a bit of getting used to, before, if, people like the idea...
My mind is open on this one, but potions should come back... It's going to suck if you have no health, no glowy red orb thingies, and you're in the middle of a dungeon, without potions, that's a rather crappy situation... We'll just have to wait and see... Maybe they'll have an out of combat only style of potion, that would definately be very cool, or maybe out of combat regen... Who knows, like I said, a little weary on this one...
Finaly
Seriously, fan's are pissed about size of monsters?
Yeah, definately one of the DUMBEST arguments I've EVER heard. big monsters are cool. It's not like hell couldn't toss whatever they wanted at us. I think this new idea of differnt sized demons is rather sweet.
Biting heads off, yeah, ok, unless that's a finishing move (works if you have less than x HP) that will REALLY suck for anyone, especially if you're playing a hardcore char...
Honestly, I really like where blizzard is going with this new one, I am looking forward to finaly, hopefully, seeing the conclusion to this story, with one or 2 expansions...
