EDIT (Aug 15th): more pictures
I have been playing some Diablo 2 lately (USEast Hardcore Ladder). I had been playing Diablo on and off for almost 8 years. However it is only recently that I realized how creepy this game is.
Back then I probably focused only on getting godly items. In my opinion this game has some really, really creepy artistic designs. While this is expected as Diablo is supposed to be a "dark fantasy" RPG game, some of the scenes are in fact quite disturbing.
I have attached some screenshots I took with some commentaries. As mentioned previously, some of them can be quite graphic.
Also I'd like to say that I think these details really make Diablo 2 an awesome game (forget about the bugs, the bots, the spammers, the dupes, the scammers, and the relatively poor design of PvE and PvP mechanisms by today's standard).

I never noticed those things when I was playing back when I was little... I just thought that Anderiel is naked and she has boobs.

Screenshots? I want to see...

Yeah it's pretty damn brutal. Of course when you're actually playing it's kinda just backgrounded by the loot and epicness.
|
Ya man I loved the style of Diablo 2 and it was probably the first online RPG i ever played faithfully or stuck to for more than a week good times.
|
Ever see the butchers 'den' in Diablo 1? That place is horrid. I used to never want to do the quest when I was younger because it was so scary :[

That's a good point. I have noticed that Diablo 3 has so far not featured any "creepy" arts. I am thinking they may have abandoned this route which may repel some sensitive players.

You forgot all the half naked dead chicks o_O
|
Not nearly as creepy as Diablo 1. Even more if you include music. Beating a dead horse here, but Diablo 1's atmosphere is waaaaaay cooler and darker than D2, even with all graphic advances....
Hoping D3 once again recaptures that feeling.

the first time i played diablo 1 i was so into it and then i met the butcher i can't remember what it was he said but GOD IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME
i was soo scared i just ran the fuck out of that dungeon just straight the fuck out and back to the level above it and took some deep breaths
|
D2 was and still is the best RPG blizzard game ever.. I hope D3 can be as epic, i really hope they dont dumb it down.. this year i re-played again and it was so fucking great so i want the best for D3..

"AHHHH Fresh meat"? lol. I was like 12, I nearly fucking had a heart attack when I first met the Butcher and his room full of bodies and limbs. Holy shit that was scary.
|
yeah thats it lol whoever did the voice for the butcher was good haha
|
First time i played diablo 2 as a kid i had to get my dad to kill blood raven for me cause i was too scared haha :D
I told him it was cause it was too difficult, im sure he knew why though rofl
|
I loved the butcher. I suppose I was sort of a fucked up kid though, already pretty desensitized to most things lmao
|
Ya, Diablo 1 is far creepier. Imo a much "better" game, though D2 is lots of fun ^^.
