Diablo 3 - General Discussion I - Page 41

The sheer amount of secrecy for this project has to have rivaled many governments "top secret" projects. I mean to have made it so far as to have an actual playable game with no leaks is nothing short of amazing.

I loved diablo series, and with this bomb being dropped...Bricks have been shat.

looks pretty fun, but it's not diablo. looks more like wow artstyle. zzz.

It has felt like a weird hole has been in my life the last 4 or so years without Blizzard releases, so I'm happy to have Blizzard's guiding hand back.

Dumar · 06-28-2008, 10:29 AM

the art is too much like wow. it's way too glitzy looking. that's not diablo at all.

People bitched about Terrans in SC2 being too clean, and Bliz fixed it.

I'm sure all the tears about it being "zomg too colurful!!!" will make them apply some filters to appease you.

Game is gonna be fucking awesome, tired of all the hate about the graphics. When has Blizzard not made a fucking awesome game? First SC2 and now D3, gonna be a great couple years without sleep.

I'm not a big Diablo fan but I'll be buying this. Obviously. Like everyone else in creation.

Looks good. Barbarian looked like a lot of fun but I didnt like the Voodoo Priest.

Steamrice · 06-28-2008, 10:47 AM

Yep they toned down sc2 a bit very shortly after revealing it.

I personally think it looks awesome - it's Blizzard style art and it's great. It's very detailed and it has life to it. The videos are awesome.

D1/D2 weren't super "dark" either - they were a bit nitty gritty due to tech at the time, but that's about it. Heck, go google D2 and you'll come up with a ton of rather bright sceens.

Yeah witch doctor looks to be more micro managment then I care to do with the pets. I look forward to what other classes are going to be made. Its a given they will have Barbarian and a pure caster class like sorcecer but I wonder if they will have a true healer class this time around.

I don't think a true healer class lends itself well to the mass slaughtering and fast paced action they are aiming for.

Zuuljin · 06-28-2008, 10:53 AM

No real need for a true healer class with the new droppable health pots.

The area was probably one of the starting overland areas. What I'm curious about is what rating they'll go for. Will they try to make it more appealing for the WoW audience by pushing toward "T" with less skimpy succubus outfits and less dead corpses hanging around, or will they stick with "M" like most of the fans of the series prefer?

I know the question was vaguely responded to in Ryanz' summary, but I could see a temptation to push the gloom back a notch (I like it gritty myself).

"Hello Kitty Diabloland".

Seriously though, interesting (and needed) additions to the skill bar, great graphics and gameplay (I love the 2D perspective, some newer/younger gamers may balk but the gameplay will pull them in, especially with the hype encouraging them to play D2), interesting class abilities.

Thought it was also very interesting to open classes up to both genders. Hints at leaving the door open for an MMO, perhaps? Maybe even an expansion to fit into the WoW universe? Might make for an entertaining crossover, especially due to discussions of the Aradune-EQ/Vanguard possible lore crossovers.
