I know the game has been in development for 6+ years but does it really have to look like a game released 6+ years ago?

I'd be quite happy if it looked like d2. "nice" graphics mean nothing, just like how bw's graphics are much better to look at than sc2

i dont particularly mind the graphics but he does have a point. I feel a game of d3 magnitude should blow us away in all aspects, gameplay, replayability, imagery, environment, etc.

the gameplay will likely be ACE (which is by far the MOST important aspect) but a visually stunning experience would be preferred as well.

Honestly this doesn't even matter to me anymore because Im looking forward to the future. The Chinese have games so far ahead of ours.

Look they even have the expansion... to Diablo FIVE.

Same thing was with Diablo 2 - during release it already had quite weak graphic compared to other titles. But judging from it's life span, it wasn't actually too big issue.

Never quite understood this mindset. using a rather arbitrary time period to describe the graphics when one does not take into account the aesthetics of the game (which I find to be more important).

When ever someone posts this sort of comment regarding Diablo III, I always think of penny arcade on their piece, Graphics Vs Aesthetics

D3 Aesthetics is good but graphics are still bad You can demand both. D3 should have better textures and models without losing the style. It's not a dealbreaker of course but it wouldn't hurt.

D2 was the same imo, bad graphics fine aesthetics, when it came out.
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

I agree. Blizzard should stop being so greedy and stop making expansions. In fact, Blizzard should stop making games at all.


Why?

It's funny to read this comment on a SC2 website, under a D3 forum.

So far they have been making good games, masterpieces even. The fact that they are greedy is just a standard for such a huge and succesfull company. They aren't here to give charity, brah.



Just to correct you, this is not SC2 website, this is SC community website. And regarding to Blizzard being greedy - yes they are and it hurts their games and fans. If they fuck up Diablo 3, i am done with them.
However i am pumped as the midnight sell was just confirmed in my local shop, so i will be there standing in the line. I wonder how many people will show up, as the midnight sell was met with huge interest. I hope i won't end up standing in the line for couple hours or so.
Brood War is the best RTS that has ever been created.

I would not agree. I would say, the aesthetics of Diablo III are very nice. The texture detail is there, but it is beneath a large number of layers. So I would not consider the graphics as bad. I think if you were to measure it in terms of Crysis level graphics, than it is fine (not brilliant). But when I look at the game, I look for the overall feel and not being shocked by the graphics but the immersion. Granted, I do have some qualms like with the minimap being way too large.

It's the inside that counts, don't judge a book by its cover.



Best example:

Modern Warfare 3: Awesome graphics, action scenes and explosions. Finished the single player, played multiplayer for 2 days and never touched the game again.

Dungeons and Dragons: The game HAS no graphics, you have a playing mat and playing pieces from Monopoly unless you actually bother to get some figurines. Yet it's one of the most played board games ever.

Diablo 3, I forsee playing this thing for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

Exactly, just look at how popular minecraft is. Not considered brilliant graphics but they work. And yes, I do realize that there are texture packs. But I play without them and I still enjoy it.

it does of course, it's a visual medium and the mainstream audience will always care about graphics. If graphics didnt matter everything would look like dwarf fortress.

Honestly, if the difficulty of the game is ANYTHING like D2 then I will be perfectly happy as a hardcore player.

Well apparently if you preordered Diablo III (CE) on Amazon with standard or super saver shipping speed selected first, the option for Release Date Delivery won't appear (even if you try to change shipping speeds after, the option for release date won't show up anymore).

This is a bug that also occurs if you bought D3CE with another game.

Anyone have this problem too from Amazon, and if you did, did you manage to get it fixed? I tried contacting customer support but they couldn't change it (though I read on the discussion forums, some managed get customer support to change their shipping speed).

Sarcasm bro. The guy I quoted was implying Blizz is greedy as fuck and makes sub-par games. Obviously i agree 500% with ur statement.

I bought CE via amazon and had standard shipping. When I heard about the release date, I checked my email and noticed an eta on shipping. So I went to the shipping and changed the shipping from standard 3-5 day to Release date Shipping.
