The only reason Sol's here is to promote his website. I've seen him spam his stupid link in the IRC plenty of times to know that... and the constant ranting on how Diablo III needs to be more like WoW.
This is the exactly reason I don't visit the forums/IRC as often anymore. There's too many idiots that could care less about the actual Diablo series. IMO everyone here is making Diablo's community look bad. It's the only linked fan site on their page and it's full of unmonitored immature kids.
The general asking for a darker mood is not the problem for me (I like the actual art direction). It´s when some people start to make things to personal with those who have the opposite view, and I´m talking about both sides.
Haha great article. Honestly, the Diablo 2 screenshot really looked like crap the more I look at it. It looks so 16 bit. Or is it 8 bit?
My fav quoute was at the end, "skeletons that hide in barrels, pygmies that stand on each other's shoulders to create larger pygmies, and enormous Satanic grubs."
Haha, I was laughing at how ridiculous the whole art saga thing is now.
This guy is so brutally sarcastic that you'd think I wrote that. Seriously, though, he hit everything on the head. He's right and people need to quit their bitchin.
i do admit that parts of the game are un-realistic
so an evil skeleton/minion borne of the bowels of the abyss hiding from you in a gddamn barrel is realistic? Diablo 2 wasn't realistic, please. They're moving forward with the franchise and i'm starting to become more optimistic (if thats even possible) everyday! this was an awesome read.
When I saw the trailer I had the same reaction as the writer of the article, but I allowed my enthusiasm to be colored by all of the naysayers. Well, NO MORE! I love D3 as is and I can't wait to play what I hope will be a great game!
This article is helariously funny and true, this guy tells it just like it is, i think diablo 3 looks amazing in all ways, games change for the best guys, get over it.

Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could
Chill out, man. Even staff members have a right to express their opinions. If you don't agree, then you don't agree -- unless you're somehow insecure about your position on the subject, there's no reason to be up in arms about someone in a position of authority expressing dissent.
There is a difference from expressing ones opinion and using ones power to influence their opinion on others.
I am perfectly fine that sol agrees with the artistic direction of d3 completely.
I how ever think that if the demo is indeed a foreshadow of whats to come in the complete game, then there should be a few minor changes to the game.
The problem is that Sol is using his power (as staff member) to force his predigest (on a site that is officially linked by blizzard) to convey what he believes with out supply the other side of the argument.
We do not want to play world of Diablo we want to play Diablo 3.
I think what they are doing is puting cartoon art just so everyone can play it. Like they sell more copies and make more profit. That director need to be hs.
I hope they dont get the idea to put ''more color'' in stacraft 2 or put the wich doctor in sc2 because it is ok to steal from our project.
Hey fuck tard if you dont have enough imagination to create a game frome scratch + past diablo games then abandon your post stupid director. I never played wow caused it suxed. So dont start fucking around with diablo 3.
Some of your arguments are so far removed from reason that it makes it impossible for me to dignify them with a response.
I'd like for you to explain how I 'showed bias' by writing the post. The fact that you disagree with the content of the article should not prevent me, or anyone else from posting it. We have ten pages full of readers who enjoyed the article with you and a few others as exceptions. Even amongst the few, you are the only one making an issue about the article going up in the first place.

Our project? What? You've certainly got a deep sense of entitlement. Guess what? Developers owe you nothing.

Good job all you F*CK TARDS, you complained enough, and made such a big deal over COLOR!!! (Not even GAME MECHANICS, COLOR!!!) That Blizzard already has BAD press on Diablo 3.
I hope your happy, cause guess what, COLORS WILL REMAIN, and all you suceeded in doing was give Blizzard a bunch of bad rap on an unreleased game.
Diablo fans my ass. A true fan would take all aspects of the Diablo universe into his or her bosom.

That would be my guess as well. Cool, animated, monster-specific deaths would rule!
Good find, mate!

Is that your rebuttal? It doesn't even address the questions or proposition I have brought up.
I think there is quite a big amount of your staff that "actually likes the art" and they express it without showing a huge bias.
I think what they are doing is puting cartoon art just so everyone can play it. Like they sell more copies and make more profit. That director need to be hs.
