do you want to see 2 demons doing it as you walk in hell. that would make me go oh shit wtf. then watch for 2 seconds wondering what the fuck they doing then say FK it and go kill them. the only games that should be rated AO would be games that are mainly sex and porn. no diablo porn. unless it is like sex scene from like god of war or mass effect where it is optional for people to get to that kind of shit.
An Adults Only rating doesn't only apply to sex in a video game. It also includes large and extended amounts of violence. That's mostly what I was referring to, though you can take it any way you want.

plus idk when you started playing diablo but i was like 8-10 how many kids you think play diablo. they wont be able to play it if it is rated AO. and that just sucks.
Diablo isn't marketed toward children. It was never meant to be marketed toward children. That's why it's rated M. Of course, if someone really wants to play the game, a rating won't stand in their way, but still.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but that's just how I see it.
Im sure you know how fucking crazy the world and its inhabitants are, for all we know dinos had penises on their foreheads.
For some reason, that reminded me of an episode of Squidbillies, where Early wore a giant penis-shaped hat to church.

I would like to see diablo in an AO world though.
Same here, though I highly doubt it'll happen. I'm not saying that just for the nudity, either (though some people might see that as a plus). Just imagine a game world where there are realistic amounts of blood and savagery, where you never know what's going to pop around the next corner, or what immoral, inhumane things will happen. It seems to me that it'd create a greater sense of urgency and actually encourage people to work together (might be a stretch, but hey).
Besides, maybe an AO Diablo title would keep the "WUW/WUG" spam out of the game.
It could just be some kind of weapon, but it's just as likely it's a penis.
Well, based on the in-game character sprites and the concept art, I'm starting to think it's both. I know there was a discussion earlier about demons being sinful, lust is a sin, etc., so why wouldn't they use their genitalia as a weapon?
The concept art shows that the part in question is kind of...barbed and spikey. Imagine how painful it would be to be uh...penetrated by something like that. Not only would it be a way for a demon to satisfy their lust, but the unfortunate victim would probably be torn to shreds from the inside out. There, kill two sins with one stone.
I'm probably not being too clear on this, or I'm just way out in left field daydreaming about ponies, but it makes a weird sort of sense (to me, anyway).

I really don't know why we have to talk about this. It is a very akward subject. Why would we want to see demon's genitals.
It's awkward, but strangely kind of interesting. A topic like this isn't something that's typically thought about (that I've seen), so hey, why not? Not to mention some of the responses are just funny.
did he see it in-game, or just on Mt Arreat? I wanna see it in-game, but haven't bothered to try to go there myself. I probably should.
Curiosity got the better of me, so I checked this morning while I was playing, lol. They have no tail, so guess what? It's a penis! Yay! Problem solved.
Proof:
In-game shots of the Bloody Foothills. I lightened the second image to show that they don't have tails. Nope, just green buttocks.
I had a hard time getting this monster to turn around to get a picture. let alone trying to get him to smack me. I guess he's shy. How cute.

The poll was made to find out if people want to see more penises or not.
lolol, it sounds immature when I say it like that.
Lol, I laugh every time I see this topic. A serious discussion about demon-junk? Hell, yeah. It's great. Am I weird for actually enjoying it? And researching in-game? Lol.
lol, yeah, see, it is scarier. so now the question is, do you want to be that scared while playing the game? i know its kind of different, but still?
That's a good question. I think I'm more indifferent toward the situation if it were in a game setting. It could just be that game monsters (especially lesser-demon fodder) typically won't be alive long enough for anyone to take much notice. Or it's just the fact that genitals don't bother me or squick me out in the slightest (thank you, internet).
I have to admit, though, being that scared in a game setting would be all kinds of awesome. It'd be like playing Silent Hill for the first time all over again; nothing compares to that first part with the chain-link fence. Having that feeling during a game really creates a sense of urgency and/or distress, which makes you all the more determined to either slay the evils of the world or to get the hell out of there before you're eaten alive.
I know we all remember the first time we played the original Diablo, and The Butcher came charging out at us with his "fresh meat!" cry. As pixelated/polygonal as it was, it created that same type of urgency (which is why I died :D). /mini-tangent.

Yeah, makes sense. The Great Evils are smarter than the lowly ones, and I'd imagine Azmodan to be quite handsome. So, you would vote for number 3? that the minor, more savage demons would be nude, while the Great Evils wouldn't?
Actually, I voted for the second option, for the above reasons. Though, what you're saying makes plenty of sense, so the third option would also be something I'd vote for (if I could). I think that option would fit best in a game setting, though. I mean, imagine fighting Diablo with a melee character; he's much taller than you are, so where do you think you'll be aiming?
Think of this scenario:
A guy wants to fight you. He's big and tough, extremely self-confident, and he hates you. He's gonna beat the shit out of you.
Now, which is scarier? More confronting?
A) He has nothing but a loincloth on, or
he is completely naked.
So either way you can see all his muscles and how much stronger he is than you.
I think in a "real-life Diablo" scenario, nudity would scare me more. Of course, this is mostly based on the concept art Magistrate posted; if a demon with something like that between his legs were coming after me, I'd run for the hills, all while thinking, Oh, God, what's he going to do with that thing!?
I don't know. Something about a demon with a loincloth seems to tell me that they have some modesty and courtesy ("Oh, thank you for taking the time to cover up your dangly bits before smiting me"). Nudity seems more savage, more beast-like.
Though, based on the concept art, I can see it as either a penis or a tail/tailbone piece. Either way, I wouldn't want it near my girl-parts (or any parts, thank you very much).
Personally, I don't care either way. If Blizzard wants to make every demon look like a Ken doll, that's fine. Or, if they want to shove huge, floppy genitals on the monsters, that's fine too. The game is rated M anyway, so I don't see what difference it'd make.
Also, I lightened the image of that minion. That sure doesn't look like a tail to me.

Actually, I did while lightening the animation. I almost considered posting up a zoomed-in view of it, too.
Not that it matters too much anyway. It's just a pixelated penis (maybe), after all; it's not like we've never seen one before. :rolleyes:
