lol.. it's not really like that. People have made reviews when they played it at blizzcon 2008, and said despite the brighter colours etc it has the same dark feel like the first one. that reminds me.. I haven't played the first one, maybe I should beat its campaign.

Someone else made a good point about sc2 not being pure competitive. sc2 has endless options with fun custom games and such, which I almost forgot about.


Judging from the pictures, I'd say the leap was far greater between D1 and D2, than it is between D2 and D3 in terms of atmosphere and darkness. I would even say that D3 seems truer to the original game's atmosphere. If anything, D2 is a pastel colored adventure.

diablo 1 was awesome. But the game would have been 3 times better if you could RUN in the game. And yeah, d2 was super bright compared to the awesomely gothic diablo 1. From screenshots diablo 3 looks like its inbetween d1 and d2.

Thank god we had teleport so it was only a problem in town But I agree, the setting, music and atmosphere in diablo 1 was far better than that in diablo 2. That being said diablo 2 was still one of my favorite games to date.

As a game, I'm way more excited for D3. When talking about impact and significance for 'ESPORTS' and progaming exposure outside of Korea, I'm more psyched about SC2.

if SC2 has half of the ums/custom maps that wc3 has, it would own d3 so hard. Bang for buck wise you would be getting sc2 single player campaign + competitive multiplayer + sc2 dota/sheeptag/towerdefense/RPGs/ and much much more.

I don't understand how someone in their right mind could choose D3 over SC2, unless you've lost your "competetive spirit"

Diablo 3, I'm older than I was when I enjoyed competitive starcraft. I've got responsibilities and obligations, I don't have time to sit and practice for hours and take games/competition seriously. Diablo 3 is just going to be a pleasant distraction and a fun way to kill time, starcraft 2 is going to be a life-consuming pursuit to be the best.

Of course, assuming I had all the time in the world, starcraft 2 all the way.

I can confidently say that SC2 will consume the vast majority of my time, given the choice. Considering that you can play CO-OP single player missions, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 etc... AND have awesome UMS games when you feel like taking a break I just don't see Diablo getting much of my time unless all of my friends feel like taking a break. Probably I'm going to play Diablo for a few weeks and then burn out like usual unless they release new content. Even then, it's going to be on the back burner for sure.

Just wanted to let you know this is a starcraft forum.


Anyhow, if anyone can honestly find Diablo more appealing than StarCraft right now I'm shocked. Not only will star2 have the whole competitive 1v1 factour, but 2v2,3v3, and 4v4 both random and arranged team adds a ton of value. Then...the custom maps which from what we've seen so far....make your own diablo in sc2, I mean its just too complete of a game, casual, competitive and literally everything in between. If star2 only had 1v1 I could be convinced otherwise, but its just not the case.

Diablo 3 for me as well. I enjoy watching Starcraft but don't enjoy playing it as much as the Diablo games. I'm not really that competitive. I like playing games where I can relax and Starcraft is just too tense. Watching it is another thing, though, since the pros do all the work.

I just think the APM requirements of Starcraft 2 are too high to make it that enjoyable to me. I'll still play it but I won't play it as much as Diablo. Even Warcraft 3, which is much easier mechanics-wise, I ended watching more replays than playing. For Starcraft, it's not even close. I think I've watched more than 5 times as many pro games as I've played actual games.

OMG, WIZARD!

My life will be dedicated to D3 as soon as it comes out for sure.
