Why don't you get over the fact that not everyone is going to like the same art style as you?

People need to stop relating graphic-power to art-style, it is different. For instance, I think GW2 is looking way better visually than The Witcher 2, but TW2 is still more graphic-intensive |:
my concern with diablo isn't that it has WoW-level graphics, it is that the game doesn't look anything like d2 used to, there are no rooms made of blood and torture chambers with dead bodies all over the place, it doesn't feel threatening anymore, it feels just like an adventure instead.

Just because you haven't bothered to look at those screenshots doesn't mean they don't exist

that's only a part act 1, so not a lot of gore yet. can't wait to play this. spent a lot of time playing d2 before. Hopefully it's good.

It showers all over. People who complain about blood and gore in D3 have selective memory or just haven't looked.

As opposed to just whine about the game constantly before having played it? Who are you and what are you doing on an internet forum

That's basically it. When you say the art style sucks, it isn't appropriate for the game, it's a shitty decision by Blizzard and the game will fail because of it, etc, you are talking about absolutes. It's these people that can't respect the fact that not everyone will dislike the art style as they do. It's not saying "I don't really like this art style", it just shitting on it like if they didn't understand why Blizzard would do it.

And they have been saying the same thing for 3 years, I think everyone already got it. Blizzard will not change the game now, the art style will stay and bitching about it doesn't really help. It's as annoying as balance whine in SC2 threads. It may even be true, but it's at most just useless venting that everyone has been sick of hearing, where everyone states absolute truths that are completelly relative on each persons perspective. But it will go on, just like people saying they are tired of the people bitching will also go on and it will never end, at least until it's released. And I realize this post is hypocritical and all, but I guess I just give up, you know how they say, if you can't beat them...


The worse part is these same people have only experienced some videos and screenshots of specific locations. And their observations don't even ring true. For me its when ppl saying that diablo 2 was really dark, when infact it was a lot less dark than diablo 1. Also when I look at diablo 3 it appears to be darker than diablo 2. I believe people are comparing the way they remember feeling when they were playing diablo 2 to the way they perceive diablo 3 to be from a screenshot. I mean if youre comparing the act1 outside area of diablo 3 to hell of diablo 2 you are retarded. Compare it to blood moor, cold plains, stoney fields, or half the other areas in d2 act 1 which isnt even at all dark.

I remember sc2 screenshots and videos and I wasnt unimpressed but I was no where near as impressed with the graphics as I was when I first started playing. Keeping this in mind and what I have seen already I am ready to be amazed.

disagree here. outside of maybe the desert parts of act 2 D2 constantly had a very dark feel to it.
and imho desolated plains with bloody corpses evryhwere ,skeletons+zombies running around at night with rain etc qualify pretty well for "dark".

also its the whole artstyle. d2 looked dark with all the dark / greyish colors used,gritty look and very little lighting. while d3 so far more looks like torchlight.
even if there are meanie bloody things, if they are done in a comicish artstyle with wowish graphics and plenty of rainbow colors and sparkles then they could just as well be not there at all.


dont get me wrong, i will buy d3 and i dont call doomsday or anything. but i can very well understand where the complains are coming from.

i kind of agree that the screen shots seem to be lacking that classic diablo sinister feel but who knows what surprises await us. We will just have to wait and see but I am sure that blizzard wouldn't stray too far from the sinister feel in a game that is titled "diablo".

Ya but I havent seen anything shiney sparkly rainbow in diablo 3 yet. I havent seen any comicish artstyle wowish graphics either. Diablo 3 looks more like diablo 2 than wow. Also diablo 2 has lots and lots of bright colors in its artstyle, its the mood that is dark. Also there is no "desolated plains" and skeletons and zombies running around at night w/ rain, this is the same in diablo 3. Diablo 3 is very dark, unless youre talking about magical spells. Isnt stuff like lightning, fire, and magical glow suppose to be bright? It was in diablo 2. The big difference is the fact that it has better lighting, which makes dark and light stand out from one another better.

Anyway thats all im gonna say. I suggest looking at diablo 2 and diablo 3 side by side.

Sorry to say this. But I've considered Diablo 2 as a very very colourful game. Especially the spells and abilities were very colorful.
I had a bad dream. Don't be afraid, bad dreams are only dreams. What a time you chose to be born in...
