And just to put things into perspective, this is how a real Diablo opening scene looks like:



D3 opening looks too cartony and has no atmosphere. But that's what you get from a game that has giant leaping green frogs as a skill.

I really want this game to be good, but I'm starting to hate it oh so much

Blizzard made innovative games before. But they do not wish to cancel any more games than Ghost and Warcraft Adventures. Because other companies money is involved, originality has to suffer for pushing out a safe polished product that sales well. Unfortunately.

LOL, get out.

Have you even played the game? I've heard lots of people playing the beta who've said all the people whining about this "cartoony" feel are just fooling themselves and the game is full of blood and gore everywhere.


No they didn't. All their games have ideas crossed from other developers. They've invented practically nothing new in all their history. Maybe original Diablo was a breakthrough.

Warcraft/Starcraft are based upon the Dune, and later C&C concept of RTS, set in lore and environments extremely reminiscent and clearly inspired on Warhammer products. While WoW was derived almost completely from an improved Everquest concept. Their greatest characteristic as a developer is BY FAR polishness, close customer relationship and deepness in content. Creativity in aspects different from story and lore isn't their strong point at all.

Even Ghost and WC adventures introduced nothing new to the gaming scene. Their biggest development in the RTS department is balancing 3 completely different factions, but that is really nothing "new", but a product of dedication and polish more than anything related to creativity.

Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me. Behold that I shall set you amongst the greatest of my Cerebrates, that you might benefit from their wisdom and experience. Yet your purpose is unique. While they carry forth my will to the innumerable Broods, you have but one charge entrusted to your care.
For I have found a creature that may yet become the greatest of my agents. Even now it resides within a protective Chrysalis, awaiting its rebirth into the Swarm. You must watch over the Chrysalis, and ensure that no harm comes to the creature within it. Go now and keep safe my prize.

Let's kick this revolution into overdrive.

I can see what you see not.
Vision milky then eyes rot.
When you turn they will be gone,
Whispering their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be,
Shadows move where light should be.
Out of darkness, out of mind,
Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.

UNCLLLLLLEEEEEE

There is speculation that it's her. There are tons of spoilers out there and I don't know if that's one of them because I'm trying not to spoil the entire plot before I play it.

Diablo 2 was NEVER colorful or cartoony.

I've done like a 100 baalruns and i never was able to make it look that colorful and bright. Pretty impressive.

Anyway, I don't mind bright colors and stuff, as long as they keep the overall atmosphere gritty and sinister.

There are some good River of Flame shots as well that are very bright. All of act 2 was bright. blah blah blah.

I've played the whole game, i know what it looks like. It doesn't look cartoony and it doesn't make me facepalm like the demonhunter trailer.

I haven't even played the beta though, so I hope I'm wrong. It could be an amazing game, and I'm going to try it when it comes out. Just not looking very promising so far
