I was going to make this my "home" forums for diablo 3, until I realised the amount of anti-diablo people in this community. Going through these posts I am shocked that most of you can honestly watch the gameplay trailer and complain. "omg did you see that rainbow? game sucks. fail. QQ" Dark colors don't make a dark game, I feel like most of you people are complaining just to complain. With this post I will be leaving these forums in search of a community that isn't dedicated to slapping blizzard in the face for giving us what we've wanted for 8 years.
After all the amazing games blizzard has created, I can't believe that you don't have faith in them.

Yes. Both are excellent games with individual merits.
You may now initiate hate on me even though statistics prove me correct.
lol i don't hate you:)
Even more people buy the Sims, than WoW. Maybe Diablo should look like the Sims
Statistics prove me correct

Yes this is certainly not the nature of the community, but rather the influx of a vocal few who complain because they can't do any better. Unfortunately there isn't a diablo forum in existence right now that isn't full of the same thing. As Dranoel said, voice you opinion. Part of the problem is that the ignorant trouble-makers aren't being countered by the rest of us. Nasser demonstrates the problem beautifully. Even if you personally don't like those games, its simply foolish to imply that two of the top games of all time are bad (especially one as dominantly popular as WoW). Furthermore, it takes no thought to simply post a contrary statement without giving some basis or explanation for you claim, and it certainly does nothing to further the discussion.
Yeah, im with Dranoel, don't leave because they are smacking Blizz in the face, stay so that you can bitch slap the little kiddies bitching about graphics. These are the little hackers and scammers that we can happily say wont be joining us in D3. The game is finally here, how many of you can honestly say that you weren't waiting for D3? Are you gonna moan about it so much that they just stop making it?

"And the Evil that was once vanquished shall rise anew! Wrapped in the guise of man shall he walk amongst the innocent, and terror shall consume they that dwell upon the earth! The sky shall rain fire, and the seas will become as blood! The righteous shall fall before the wicked, and the lord of creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell!"
-Mephisto
Agreed. Why is it that so many people are unhappy with Blizzard for finally making this game?
If you don't like it, don't buy it. There's really no reason to rain on everyone else's parade.
(This forum is not as bad as others, BTW... it's impossible to find a large group of people among which no one is b1tching about it.)
More people still play WoW than the Sims i'd bet. With over 10 million current subscribers, probably about 20 million or more have bought the game. The Sims also had like 8 expansionpacks, and the SIms 2 had about 5 expansion packs. WoW has had 1 expansion.

Are you kidding me? I've seen nothing but pro-diablo people here.
Anti WoW clone would be an accurate statement.

This thread, though recently closed, has had over 2000 posts, the most of any thread here, and almost all of the comments are telling blizzard they dont like what they see, after blizzard has been working on the game for +4 years.

Sadly, such is life on any forum.
It is always unsettling to see how many people can criticize a game while only seeing a fraction of the setting. Though Blizzard's growth has brought with it the vocal minority/majority which act as if they truly know how to do things. I still stand by my belief that Blizzard is one of the best game designers just on the fact that they know how to make games more than just games.
When Blizzard shut down Blizzard North, they said they had to abandon 1 of 2 games. We now know that Blizzard North was working on Diablo 3 when it was shut down. That means Blizzard chose Diablo 3 over the other product (presumably a new franchise). In other words, the fans should be grateful Diablo 3 exists at all.

That's because what they see isn't Diablo.

My typical train of thought: Everything -> Sex -> Diablo
K before i start posting this bit, I would like to introduce myself and say HELLOOOO to all the diablo fans that i never could meet :cool:
Man o man....I see people that dont even read the FAQ's about any game whilst its in the being made process. See what Blizzard says in EVERY game when they first announce it is that - and i qoate -"As with all Blizzard Entertainment games, our goal is to create a game that is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible. We intend to take as much time developing Diablo III as is necessary to ensure the game meets our own high expectations and those of our players."
So to all those who bitch and moan about how sucka$$ the graphics looks like, pls do me a favor and stfu. What you saw was merely a GLIMPS of what Diablo 3 is gona be like...now how cool the graphics will look like or anything, they are still working on everything in diablo 3. Bitch and moan about the game after its released and expect patches to fix your tiny little problems which dont affect us true Diablo players/fans.
Secondly, I agree totally with what some said in this post. Dont leave the forum, it wasnt the forums fualt that it couldnt detect bitchy little children who moan about graphics. instead, stay a while and listen
After that you can give em the best smack talk ever till they decide to leave :cool:

And with that... I'm out.
But, to leave is not the answer either. Stand up and be counted with those who appreciate & are happy for the release of Diablo 3.
