Actually, it's still a stereotype even if it's true. Especially if it's true to be honest. Stereotypes by definition and origin are relatively accurate.
I think that Blizzard should just adopt this policy:
1) Every time a direct comparison to WoW is made in criticism of D3, the release date is extended a day or two.
2) If you are caught comparing D3 to WoW, your IP address will be put on a list of those who can't play the game a year after it is released.
I swear, this argument is so overplayed, I don't even know why people use it anymore because it is just a glaring fallacy.
"Diablo is becoming WoW because there's color and epic music."
Yeah, that'd be correct if WoW was the first game to have color and the first game to have epic music. So, for that, shut up because you don't know what you're talking about.
"Diablo 3 isn't going to be half as good because there isn't any geetar in the music."
That would also be correct, but you do realize that not every bit of music in D1 and D2 had music, right? You're just complaining that those parts that made the game so memorable are now absent, but you can't really comment on it because you can't confirm that any released music will be used in the game extensively (or even at all, they're probably just for site use).

I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence
I think that Blizzard should just make it a policy that anybody who makes a direct comparison to anything D3 related to WoW, the release date is extended a day or two.
You never want to play Diablo 3 do you.. :verymad:

I do. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how sexually exciting Diablo III will be once I play it.
But there are bitches who want to ruin it for us by making bullshit claims about shit they know nothing about. It doesn't hinder any development progress, but I think that people should think twice before they make outrageous comparisons and claims.

These people actually can't ruin anything for us. So just enjoy the show. I actually support them just so they don't feel too left out coz I know they will be enjoying D3 just as much as the rest.

LOL :sorcerer:
I'n not saying you are or that any stereotypes are "true". Simply that our brains do it subconsciously and then, consciously, if you're not an idiot, you decide what to believe and what not to believe in terms of what your brain has categorized away for you.

Hey just thought I'd let you guys know, blizzard has that annual meeting in may right? Well I wanted to update my beta settings today after getting a new graphics card. But sadly that part of battle.net was under maitenance. So I checked the D3 section, same. Figured it was down, checked WoW's it worked, checked SC2's it worked.
Found it interesting, maybe preparing for the beta?

Thank you, thank you.
They better enjoy it. I'm just sick of the D3 vs. WoW comparisons.

By any chance does anyone here remember Nightmare Creatures for PC / PS1? That was a scary game at the time..
"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."

Oh yeah baby! Nightmare creatures was one awesome game. Werewolves jumping at you out of the heavy mist was brilliant. Sound effects were amazing too.
