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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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). | ||

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

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). 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. | ||
