As I've said in so many words, most Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft fans are interchangeable in games. So I don't even think Blizzard needs to think about which games would be the most popular at the time, they only need to know that their games are popular, period.
What I've wondered is that surely by now they're so big, there would be a Blizzard North, East, South, West, all developing these different games. Or at least a North and South making Starcraft and Diablo.

Siaynoq posted a message on Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!Hmm, I never even considered it would be a new franchise. If that's the case, I wonder if it would be a magic/fantasy game or sciency spacey game. Or something more akin to a regular Earth setting placed in our current timeline.Posted in: News

Siaynoq posted a message on Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!It seems like WC fans have plenty to chew on for awhile. That would be way too audacious of Blizzard to announce another WC project at this time.Posted in: News
The time is so ripe for Diablo. I'm putting my money on it. -

Siaynoq posted a message on Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!This is great news. And even if it ends up not being Diablo 3, I still believe it is inevitable anyway, so I'll celebrate a Starcraft 2 just the same.Posted in: News

Siaynoq posted a message on "Official" Diablo 3 PetitionI don't think it means squat. Not much, true. But I think to some extent Blizzard likes to see how much people care. Even in the end, we all petition and vote with our money, just to say we are here waiting and are anxious, I believe that means something to them.Posted in: News

Siaynoq posted a message on The Final Diablo 3 is Coming argument"The only argument I disagree with is that they say "Diablo 3 is a license to print money". Unless you've been under a very large rock the past year, Blizzard already has a license to print money, it's called World of Warcraft and it pulls in almost as much cash in a month as Diablo 2 has pulled in overall. The only question now is, is it worth it to sacrifice programmer power for a game that is going to generate more publicity than revenue? I imagine Blizzard has discussed the possibility of making Diablo 3 a MMO considering the success of their last shot at it."Posted in: News
I read this comment from that page and I disagree with what this person is saying. Does Blizzard necessarily need to sacrifice programming power to make another Diablo game? Isn't that what Blizzard North was founded for? I'm not sure however how I feel about Diablo being an MMO. I actually feel like you're sacrificing some quality in graphics and in-depth content to make an MMO that is designed to appeal to a wide mainstream audience. -

Siaynoq posted a message on "Official" Diablo 3 PetitionPosted in: NewsQuote from "AcidReign" »I read that there was a petition for Peter Jackson to direct The Hobbit movie. They had 40,000 votes, and New Line Cinema was looking into it now. Hah!
Even then, I doubt a poll of 40,000 votes had any real impact. I'm sure any decision to make the Hobbit would be mostly based on the success of the LOTR trilogy in theaters and DVD sales, merchandise, etc. They know the fanbase already exists, and not just the hardcore fans either. -

Siaynoq posted a message on "Official" Diablo 3 PetitionYes, while I'm sure a petition doesn't make a huge impact one way or another, I still believe that the people at Blizzard are interested in what fans are thinking about these games. I've noticed a lot of people are cynical about polls, but if it none of it helps, none of it certainly hurts either.Posted in: News

Thank you for pointing this out. I would be disgusted with dragons in Diablo. It would change the whole dynamic of the world it takes place in. And it reminds me of another reason I love Diablo so much: NO ELVES.
Because there are no dragons or elves, the whole world of Sanctuary feels more like our own world during an ancient time. It's more gritty and raw and at times gloomy. And all these things compliment the imagination so well when playing the game. In my opinion, this is a key aspect of Diablo's success that I hope they never change.

However, while in some ways it looked interesting, others I just rolled my eyes at. Particularly the character Nova. Now, I'm not naive that sex sells and there will be provocative women in movie, television, and video games.
But this was just ridiculous...
What's up with her ass? This just doesn't look like the kind of rugged saboteur they portrayed ghosts as in the original Starcraft. Even Kerrigan, while mildy attractive, still had that beaten up, worn look that seemed more realistic. This bitch just looks like she's at some terrible Euro-trash fashion show.

Multiplayer, eh, not against other humans. But I'd do a co op with another human against computer players.

Yes, it's all a rich tapestry.

I'd like to say Zeratul was one of my favorites, or any of the Protoss, but they piss me off too much in Brood Wars cause they're all like, "Yay, Kerrigan has changed. And her plan to have us help rebuild her army totally makes sense so we can all defeat the UED." And when Aldaris defects because he doesn't trust Kerrigan, you're just like, "Duh!" And it pissed me off how you always have to do all these missions that are just ill-fated and asinine.
Raynor at least trusted Kerrigan the least. And I enjoyed watching the camaraderie between hin and Fenix.
Then Daggoth I liked for maybe more superficial reasons. Such as his cool voice, especially when he's like, "I will deal with the Protoss myself."

There's nothing wrong with your information. Most of that jazz comes straight from the Diablo manual word for word.
And when I talk about how mortals were a kind of bet to the forces of Heaven and Hell, I'll concede that it is merely my interpretation. However, it was Hell that saw the potential in mortals and were intrigued by them and resented them for it. Whereas the angles of Heaven were out of touch and rather aloof to the whole situation. All of them except Tyrael of course.
Ironically, both sides underestimated the mortals because in the end Tyrael couldn't count on a mortal not to free Baal, and in the end, it was the mortals who defeated all the Prime Evils.

If he wasn't black, then he was definately brown.
