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.
That was implied, everyone was hoping that, but just for shits and giggles, what exactly does not match? Use your own examples, not the ones people have put into your tiny skull.
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.
I've played both... Diablo one had great atmosphere, it was scary Diablo 2 had a nice dark and gothic environment in Act1 and 3... but none really in act 2 or 4....
However by todays standards both games are hideous.

no dark grim areas in act 4? did u forget about people chained to poles in the plains of despair? cracks that fall into nothingness?
Somebody's afraid of change... Don't worry, your fear will soon be eclipsed by the awesomeness of the game itself.
Agreed, I bet D3 will greatly surpass our expectations about the diablo series in a positive way. Lets not forget all the changes blizzard did from D1 to D2, its evolution and gameplay was a HUGE part of diablo.

Not to be entirely over offensive. Well okay, I will be.
HOW THE HELL IS ACT 4 NOT GOTHIC? IT'S SET IN HELL FOR GOD'S SAKE, WERE YOU BORN RETARDED OR DO YOU HAVE TO WORK AT IT?
Had to put on the cruise control for how overly stupid your statement was.

Let us also not forget that this is a different Blizzard these days. The same Blizzard that released TBC, which is regarded as one of the worst MMO expansions since ToA for DAoC.
Their quality is 'meh' right now, but I've said in a previous thread that if you somehow manage to fuck up Diablo you should probably end yourself.

Everyone has just about covered all the "examples", how on earth can I point to things without you saying "but your just repeating what people have put in your tiny skull"? I can point to the flamboyant lighting arrangements in the dungeon, the silly looking skull straight out of a b-grade pirate movie, the mash of bright colors but no doubt you will just retort with "your repeating what others have put in your tiny skull". On another note, whats the point in starting personal attacks, I can do it too if you like? You have a giant banner sized sig with your face all over it, I have plenty to work with.

And here in lies the problem, the lighting is awesome, and I thought the skull was a nice touch of artistry, like in the older installments. Its all based on opinions, and frankly, unless you are a game developer your opinions, to me, mean shit. I hav'nt heard anythings but good things about Diablo 3 from game developers. You will buy Diablo 3, and you will like it, there are no if, ands, or buts about it. Now go to bed mister, you have school tomorrow.
Veritech could you please explain to me how you could justify blizzards quality of games being "meh"..
I surely hope you are just referring to TBC and not what we have seen of D3.

Let me use an argument from the people supporting the art direction really quick: We have only seen a 20 minute video.

Irony much...?
I was not aware the definition of "Gothic" was "hell"... The whole place was cheese, lava and volcanic rock everywhere? That's not Gothic... thats just the inside of a volcano... The chaos Sanctuary was Gothic, but as a whole Act 4 was just a cheesy impression of what hell might look like... if it was a volcano.
Yeah stating that solely based on the fact act 4 was in hell makes it gothic is pretty much the definition of ignorance.

You don't know what I am, for one. Secondly there is a good chance I won't be buying it looking at what has been shown so far. Thirdly, I am older than you by a few years, am not at school and it is midday here. The problem here is people like you and the original guy bitching in that vid thinking people are "wrong" to be unhappy about a pointless change to a great series that will potentially make it a much poorer game to them. You can disagree with me, but I can't be "wrong" for thinking the change sucks. Now get fit and slim for college mister and I wish you luck with the girls, your gonna need it.
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.

Darkness people, your opinions aren't worth quite enough to make a difference.
Tis truth.
Over confidence is the rot.

Thank you, i was hoping you would say that. On that note how do you justify blizzards quality of previous games to "meh"?

Typical Ad Hominum. Personal attacks and saying "look it up" proves nothing. All you've stated thus far is that Hell = Gothic by definition
