Anyway, my point is this. I think the graphics atleast look very damn good, and honestly...you people found Diablo/Diablo 2 creepy? I could see this argument if, say, Resident Evil took place in an area that looked like a flower garden (Hmm...Resident Eden?) because a game like that truly DOES depend on the creepy atmosphere.
But Diablo is an action/RPG, and to me, the main thrill came more from the unique character designs, and especially that 'thrill' you get when you hit alt and *BAM* Unique/Set/Enchanted item is smiling back at you.
Those are the things I'm most concerned about. Though I will agree that the before and after pic someone recently posted is interesting; it's nothing more than aesthetic to me. I'm more interested in finding out the story, seeing how the loot/magical item system has changed, and how indepth the character creation is going to be.
After seeing the video, I feel that the above concerns are in very good hands.
Could someone please explain to me what the supposed problem is here? I viewed the gameplay videos last week, and was utterly thrilled. I've been wishing for years that there would finally be a Diablo 3, and now it's here. From what I can understand from that doofy yahoo video, people are complaining because the graphics aren't anything like Diablo 2? Um, to my eyes, it looked almost exactly like the same Diablo formula, and the graphics for the dungeon area where the barbarian meets Deckard Cain looked VERY gothic and creepy. if anything, I think the graphics are like Diablo 2 on steroids. What, teh interdweebs pissed off that there are outside areas that look peaceful? You know...something varied? Gods, the villany.
To me this sounds like a bunch of :necro:'s who wear carpal tunnel braces 24/7 being pissed off cause it's not the Diablo 3 they wet their beds dreaming about for the last 7 or 8'ish years. Get over it. It looks beautiful, it looks very gothic and atmospheric, and the skills looked completely in line with Diablo. ( I mean, a bone wall of ZOMBIES? Come on now!)
I think everyone needs to just chill, and wait and see what the end result is. I will definitely NOT be signing this petition; I think Blizzard is doing just fine.
