Thats not so bad at all. I see no issue with the new design.

Personally I couldn't stand play D1 or D2, because of the fact that some classes really weren't fun to play at all, and for the class you picked you would be spamming the same spell over and over again at hordes of monsters through pretty bland feeling dungeons, not to mention the absolutely horrible control scheme and bad UI.

But from playing D3 at Blizzcon 2009 I can say that D3 is definitely something I would pick up, as compared to D2, the game feels like it has worlds more class depth and the controls feels natural and fluent, while leaving a decent but of strategy for a Hack n Slash game.

D3 has a lot more depth, and is way friendlier to play than the old clunky D2, and I thought was every bit as gory as the first 2, if not more. As for you wanting it more "dark" I guess that preference, but I've never really found any games, or even movies for that matter, to be that "scary" or "dark" factor unless it was something like a huge organization ie: the government was way corrupt and plotting pretty messed up stuff, or just plain messed up stuff.

Neither of which I thought D1 or 2 was like, I thought it was more of a badass, killing demons, kinda idea, where the only thing that should really scare you is someone who's a lot more powerful than you (lore wise). Which is what your concern is with the new Diablo, although I don't really have a problem with how he looks.

Diablo 1? Hated it. Why? Cuz I couldn't get through the first dungeon. It may have just been me at the time, but that game was SERIOUSLY hard.

Diablo 2? Loved it. Why? I just found it really fun to play, especially with friends.

Diablo 3? Suspected lust. Why? It looks awesome. Simple as that.



Regardless of anyone thinking it looks bad, you're still gonna pick it up (or pirate it... >.>). Blizzard is the best gaming company in the world and you know it.

Pfft. Bethesda can't do RPGs right either, unless of course you're primarily a console player and didn't notice how Oblivion and Fallout 3 were royally screwed over by a massive lack of depth.

Hack n Slash is a good part of "lite-RPG" fair and one I actually enjoy. I do not, however, enjoy Diablo. Any game that uses an iteration of the tired old story of "hey look, it's the Devil and Hell, let's kill 'em!" is instantly relegated to the trash heap of my collection. That, and I could just never get into it easily. Maybe it's because I came to it late and it never worked properly on my computer.

And yes, I am now prepared to be burned to a crisp.

Bethesda games are fairly good. At least you can solve situations in different ways a lot of times, character skills and perks modifies dialog options, and have a lot of content. Most computer RPGs just plainly sucks.

I'm sorry but if I remember correctly, the "Diablo" you think you saw in the cinematic trailer is not Diablo, but some female demon lord ( a noticeable trait: three heads ). I can't remember her name and I'm sure it'll all clear up once we play the game.

Imo it won't beat the success of his predecessors. The game is so old school and without much depth, I believe it will just be over eclipsed by every other popular game that will be released when he'll be out. Indeed, what's new in this game compared to every other RTS? Nothing! In fact, I think the franchise lost more than it gained. Yay a new graphic engine!

You know, I changed 2 letters in your paragraph and you've just successfully described SC2.

And reading that is just slightly depressing for me.

Nah I really don't agree with this, especially after seing BR4.

I'm pretty sure someone from Blizzard confirmed that this is Diablo. I'll have to go check out again.
