Diablo III Graphics Creates Aura of Defiance

Timesplitter14 - 541 days 7 hours ago

The ''they've never played'' is not an acceptable argument here because the complaints are about the graphics and artstyle. It's something we can fully experience only by watching images or videos. It's not like gameplay.

The graphics feel too cartoony. Like WoW. And the environments look a lot like Champions of Norrath.

This needs to be changed in order to feel like Diablo. We don't want a Warcraft action RPG. We want the dark and gritty Diablo

What is the world coming to people complaining about a game that is is pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre alpha stats and is at least a year and a half away.

Seriously people.

After practically playing nothing but Diablo 1 and 2 on PC for the past decade, I understand the position that hardcore fans are taking in terms of the artistic style. If you take a look at the visual suggestions they have in mind, their arguments have some merit. If you haven't seen, take a look:

Diablo III looks friggen sweet.

The character models look WoW-ish, I completely agree, but after popping in Diablo II the other day... I wonder if people even remember how low rez that game was. The Character models in the 1st two games are gritty and look like sh*t to today's standards. Look on YouTube if you want to bicker about that.

As far as the Environment is concerned, Blizzard did a good job with Diablo III. It looks just fine and isn't happy, cartoony or anything. The world itself looks like Diablo I and II. So do the monsters.

I don't know what everyone is whining about.

The only beef I had was that the Witchdoctor looked like a WoW Troll or something with the gear it had on.

This game will rock hands down and I think people need to cry on their mommy's shoulder rather than in forums.

Who doesn't complain nowadays....for christ sakes.

The character model for the barbarian looks like the character model for the barbarian in the second game. I don't see where the complaints are coming from...The witch doctor? Meh...The D2 sorceress, amazon, and paladin all looked straight out of WoW, so what's your point?

The environments could cut back some on the light, but aside from that, I see no problems with the way the game looks.

this game is completely ruined for me, oh, those slightly lighter colors, damn, it will completely ruin the gameplay for me, oh woe, oh misery and hardship, however will I survive this slightly brighter colour pallete, I will never know, for I am feeling faint, and feel not much more for this earth, over the hardship and misery I must endure to bear the unbearable, to toil and slave, to survive the horror of a slightly brighter color pallete, I would continue but I am feeling weakened at the sheer thought of surviving the oncoming battle.

I only care if it's a blast to play, which is what it's already looking like. Creativity and ingenuity in gameplay (Zombie Wall, bosses deteriorating and spawning hundreds of undead upon defeat, etc) trump graphics.

All we've seen of gameplay is one dungeon and one wooded forested area. Am I to take it that these idiots are complaining about the forested area being green and in daylight? Environments are meant to have character and not every zone has to be depicted with you playing at night. I welcome a fleshing out of the environments. Instead of just the standard town, desert, jungle, and hell areas. Besides did all these people skip Diablo II chapter 2? The whole area was a bright desert. It's also funny that people question the judgment of a company that has never failed to make a great game.

The previous diablo(2) was a pretty sweet game.
although the only sh**ty part was that it was on th PC, and graphics werent all that, but it was still a hit.
From what it looks like hopefully this game will be a great follow up.
