"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
Pretty much what that guy is saying... I mean at first I agreed that it would be nice if it was darker and grittier...b ut then it turned into a freaking crusade "I'm going to cancel my pre-order and kill myself if it doesn't change" sort of thing...
I mean the fact that they TRIED it "grittier/darker/gothic" and said it really didn't work... AND that they said "it gets darker/grittier etc as the game goes on is enough for me...
20... minutes... of gameplay... all i one area...

What a fool, I'd like to see his reaction to something he loves and was looking forward to for years getting changed for something that looks silly and gimmicky.

You are the fool, he admitted openly that Diablo was one of his favorite games of all time on X play. You fail miserably!
Nothing is wrong with the graphics themselves, the artwork is fantastic as usual from Blizzard. If this was another IP and was a different hack and slash set in some typical fantasy universe I would be extremely excited about how cool it looks. Unfortunately it's not, it's Diablo, or was Diablo and it looks nothing like the theme of the previous games, a theme which some of us loved, and obviously others not.

Somebody's afraid of change... Don't worry, your fear will soon be eclipsed by the awesomeness of the game itself.

It looks nothing like Diablo? are you fucking kidding? The only reason you are saying that is because its 3D now. Its not brighter than the previous game, it just doesn't have light radius. Which is a good thing. Diablo 2 was nothing like Diablo by your standards, but it surpassed it. What makes you think that the same wont happen this time around?Stop living in the past and accept the mother fucking future, punk.
He said that's what made the game great (which it did), not that he didn't like the original art design. Stop being irrational.
Irrational? what are you on about? Its a pretty fair assumption that if he loved the style of the older games and hoped for years the sequel would match the style of the previous titles he wouldn't be talking like he is. For some it wasn't just the gameplay, it was the grim dark world the game portrayed through its graphics as well. Not that I expect you to understand, ugh.

Far from fair. I loved the way diablo 2 looked, and I have the same opinions he does. You have been crushed with logic and instead of giving up and conceeding, like a man, you are kicking and flailing till the bitter end, like a child.

Uh, no. did you read the part where I said "and was hoping the style would match"? How is that for "crushed with logic"... But let me guess, next you will be saying the style is the same, and yet everywhere and even the developers say its not. Ironic your calling me the child.
I agree. I too believe it needs to be pitch black, 2 dimensional, and ugly as sin. If it is not pitch black, 2 dimensional, and ugly as sin, it is not Diablo 3!
*Eye roll.* Idiot...
Edit:
OMG! WHAT IF BARNEY THE DINOSAUR SHOWS UP IN DIABLO 3!!! I'M NOT GONNA BUY DIABLO 3 UNTIL BLIZZARD OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES THAT BARNEY THE DINOSAUR WILL NOT SHOW UP IN DIABLO 2!!!!
Everyone wants/expects Diablo 2.5 Or Diablo 2 Expansion Pack 2... well guess what... it's Diablo 3. Like the guy said... if you don't like it, play something else.
I'm going to go back to rationality and remember that it's TWENTY MINUTES OF ONE DUNGEON/AREA.

Ah, so you would be one of those people who never played D2 or D1 I assume, believe it or not the game had varied landscapes, wasn't pitch black and many thought it wasn't as ugly as sin, great games too, you should try them out.

He said gameplay, he obviously had no attraction to the original series graphics or or style or else he wouldn't be carrying on the way he is.
