The Diablo 3 atmosphere and scenery is a farcry from what D1 and D2 used to be. It feels as if i've been taken off from D1 and D2 and got thrown into some other new world. Doesnt feel like its continued from D1 and D2.

Fugly. Feels like playing warcraft. I want my Diablo back!!

“A great analogy is like in ‘Lord of the Rings’ — not everything is dark.”

“We don’t want everything to look the same and that’s really what we’re trying to aim for.”

The reason why im sooooo physced about diablo 3 is because im a diablo fanatic..
And the only reason why im sooo physced about diablo 3, is because diablo 1 and diablo 2 rocked!
But if diablo 3 now looks like WOW, then.. it aint diablo 1 or diablo 2 anymore, which is well, total disappointment .
I mean, its like we've been so.. acustomed to d1 and d2 atmosphere. The gothic, demon-like feel with darkness and enemy lurking in the corners. Thats how diablo felt like since the last 2 installments. And thats what most of the fans remember it like. So this whole new, WOW-ish like atmosphere is just, well, not diablo-like. Thats the main argument of most of the fans. While some might welcome a new direction, but purist, and  loyalists of the game, those that really immerse themselves into that game, would cry foul because its not what they have been playing all this while.

In the end, the fans will determine whether the game will be successful or not. I cant really say much cause its not out yet, but thought given to it, i'd prefer it to be like diablo 2, but just with better gameplay. Same atmosphere, better gameplay.

WTF?? those guys should be hanged! screw them for wanting D3 as an MMO, more over Pay2Play!!! To hell with them..   

Are they out of their mind??? Why do they want it to be a Pay2Play game??? 

Pay2Play isnt like a rent, but a fuel to run ur car. like u bought a car n u gotta pay urself the fuel to run ur car.

well, u could thought it as ur car insurance + road tax which u gotta pay it every year. just think of it as paying for better service n faster server.

I just want to clarify on some stuff in Diablo 3.

The bar in bottom middle, some of it does make you think of WOW. But before anyone starts condemning it, i think this part is ok to copy .... It's more practical for games like this.

The health and mana orbs are unique and has a diablo feel to it. When the globes liquids go down, you can see the liquids swirling inside. This has the Diablo feeling before  very nice effects.

When you open the inventory, it sort of looks like wow, but then again in the original Diablo it looked the same like wow then. This game genre have these sorts of inventory layout. This is alright as well.

The weapon and armor skins inside inventory look very well done, and if you notice, inventory graphics for helm in the demo, doesn't look exactly like the helm shown in the gameplay. This is the same as in the previous Diablo. I hope that they don't follow previous diablo where unique items looks the same as any item within that item clasffication .... thats my hope anyway.

its not finalize. some just suggest for P2P. i dun really mind. when it come to finalize, just the matter of "yes, i love the game n willing to pay for it" or "too expensive, dun wan to play then".
well if i wanted to donate then, i gonna donate someone who really need em instead of u

1 thing i realize is there are some so called "Diablo fanboys" are joining in the bandwagon and follow whatever everyone is bashing.

1st, it was the dark gothic color.
2nd, it was the armor design.

Armor design is FINE imho. At least each equipment is unique looking now.
The demo screenshot maybe showing some of uglier side of the low tier armor but im sure blizz will show something more wicked in the future.
Stop bashing the armor design
Btw, you guys are overreacting with the p2p crap.
Blizz will never do something like that.
Blizz forums are full of flamebaiters and trolls.

Yup, they currently gonna create a next MMO game 

lol... i want my sc2!!!!!!!!! and now they announced diablo3... WTF lah... -_____________-"

i loled at this pic -__________-" nice editing le ... especially chuck norris soloed old trisam got ppl say

it cost "a lot" due to currency exchange.

do you think 15 USD is a lot to americans? its pocket change to even their school kiddies.

as fyonne mentioned, you pay subscription for server and online support. not so much the game. just like how you pay fuel money for your car to run. dont pay fuel money, your car wont run when its outta fuel. like wise, dont pay subscription for mmo/p2p game, servers wont be maintained, and there wont be game.

ESRB and montly fees have no impact on who plays the game.
Parents will still make purchases to shut their kids up...or to make them happy even if its not what is sujested by some department we did not elect...

BATTLE.NET
Battle.net has never required a fee, however that is not to say that they will not. Until there is official word no one will know. Blogging about it will not get you the information you are looking for.

Diablo II
The game came out 7 years ago and has numerous patches. Look at what they do on WoW during an update. Once in a while something new and exciting but usually just fix bugs. So dont make it seem like WoW is making gaming history by creating NEW STUFF every week. They simply are not. To say that they are is a lie and maybe a subconscious way of making yourself feel better for spending 15 bucks a month.

WoW numbers:
Blizz is making over 1billion dollars a year off of your monthly subscriptions. Look at how many people are playing, then multiply that number by 15. I know it may be difficult but try it the numbers are out there just takes a little research. Now since many of you do not know just how much a billion is ill try to explain it to you. 1 million seconds is about 11.5 days...to where 1 billion seconds is about 31.7 YEARS. No one can tell me that pay roll, business expenses, RnD, and actual Programming and integration is costing any where near that amount. Where do you think that they came up with the money to make the D3 and where do you think that they will get the money to update it and keep it running smooth. Diablo is kinda like the Corvett. Chevy makes little to NO money of of it each year, however it is A BIG DEAL so they keep it around because they are not really loosing money off it, they are just not making much. And it does not matter if they dont make much because their sales off of other vehicles carries it. Again the numbers are out there, look it up.

SUMMARY:
Crying about things is as effective as attempting to understand a story by sleeping with the book and never reading it. Actions speak louder than words...getting any of this...you are not in control so if there is a fee then for some reason people will be happy and others will not to where the adverse is true as well.

and you understand urself.

- diablo 3 is not an mmo
- its confirmed blizz is putting D3 on b.net
- b.net is free

then whys the fuss? why resort to being flame baited/trolled? grats on giving the flamebaiters/trolls their victory.

over-reaction is over-reaction

and to response to your paranoia self:
i dont even have to do it. fyonne has already made this reply a page ago.

why be such a captain obvious if i may ask?

For those who dislike the current cheerful, colorful, cartoonish environment of Diablo 3, Blizz had answer you, below is the best, and most loved design for all Diablo players:

[attachmentid=518168]

   

Same idea after read the doom3  shadow system from uncyclopedia

anyway, the world encironment looks very beautiful to my eye... I don't hope the entire game are just dark and dull... (well, my taste...)

titan quest also like that but no need high requirement pc
