Funny if you think about it...

That SA article comes from someone who hasn't played D2. The rainbow argument fails because, again, they haven't played the game. It's an old joke that D2 was for kids because the end game was colorful like kids would enjoy, and only kids with ADD would get to the end game.

The thing is, the bright colors put emphasis on the action, the power of the character, and the level of threat that each enemy has. It also clearly marked which enemies are frozen, poisoned, etc. This is why the scene is so bright. Every enemy is frozen, poisoned, or otherwise affected by an ailment.

In the gameplay video, you can clearly see that the enemy, when frozen, is simply stiff in place.

"BUT IT'S A W.I.P.!" No shit? If they turn bright blue, or even change color, the argument will fail even more horribly.

"BUT THAT'S END GAME CONTENT!" No shit? That's sort of the point. If D3 looks this bright and colorful at the beginning (especially when compared to the trends of D1 and D2), I can't even begin to imagine what candy land we'll play in at the end of D3.

Everything they have stated suggests that they will respect the franchise. And, part of the franchise has been that power is signified with color. Powerful spells are not only colorful, but large. Powerful enemies are bright and colorful. Etc.

What people are complaining about, and this is specifically the issue entirely, is that it doesn't look like Diablo. We could care less about the spell effects being bright and colorful. We could care less about the enemies looking bright and colorful. The issue is that the world looks nothing like Diablo and a lot like a cartoon.

Tell me, which looks more like Diablo?



Yes, those are different lions. Look how they aren't smiling and cheerful. Yes, those are smaller shoulderpads and a more realistic looking weapon.

Angry lions and realistic weapons. That's what Diablo is.

I thought Credge didn't care about RPGs anyway, he just bitched and moaned about them.

Damn Blizzard, using technology in a game, without people realizing what "3" means. It's like whining about TF2 not being a Fortress Game because it doesn't look like QWTF. Then again, neither does FF.

...

This is fucking ridiculous. Just fucking boycott the game and leave us alone already.

Replacing the lions is pretty silly, but the desaturated version does look way better.

[Crazycarl]

Back in 2002 I remember me and a couple other guys broke into a friend's dorm room while he was away so we could play D2 on his computer. He lived on the 2nd floor. Getting in involved ropes.

Diablo is about as much RPG as FF. Also, what? I love RPG's. I just don't care about people that think RPG's consist of a game where you have control of every single action that your character does.

Also, what? 3?

We? Seriously? This is the thread about the game. I'm talking about the game. Every one of my posts in this thread talks about the game, minus this one of course. Why don't you leave us, the ones talking about the actual game, alone, yeah? Go derail another topic.

Every one of your posts is bitching about something. To quote you, "Shit's getting old."

I think what Circ meant was shut the hell up. Seriously, if this thread gets locked it's because of you pissing everyone off.

If you can sum up your post in the following words:

"Diablo looks too much like WoW,"

do not bother posting it. We get it.

Tu, go bitch about TF2 and America somewhere else.

I don't understand why people are so upset over the visuals... they look great to me, and it's good that polycounts be kept down, because I'm sure there will be points where there are dozens (if not over a hundred) of enemies on screen, for performance's sake. Still, I think they should have gone with a darker art direction.

[Constipated_Zombie]

I bet tu! can put up a better argument than Credge.
