Are you saying you don't feel more mechanically inlcined when you're wearing coveralls? I know it's tempting to spin this into fantasy derision, but to me it's honestly just video-gamey. I wouldn't say it's any more outlandish than putting on a leather jacket and fooling some bloodthirsty goon...

Who says there's not new critters?

If I had to guess, I'd say they're probably terrorizing some human settlements

I'm struck by how reluctant you are to use the word "honest" here. Did they fire you or something? :wink:

Sorry, I just assumed everyone's logged in about a billion hours on D2 and is well versed in Bnet(Battle.net) shorthand. Something else I just noticed watching the highres gameplay video - corpses fucking disappear after like 5 seconds! No wonder the Necro is absent :(

It works as a gameplay balance to keep someone from just Fatal1tying through the game without using any skill points on combat. I can imagine certain enemies in the game being nigh impossible to beat with just base weapon skill, no matter how many times you shoot them in the face. I think I...

Ok, so let's talk gameplay changes here. They've mentioned that looting will be, at least to some degree, player instanced. So there's still that element of a Supermarket Sweeps greed minigame, but also the ability to have some nice stuff drop just for you. Personally, I'm all for that...

That's a pretty classy post.

You just listed a bunch of stuff that suggests Blizzard makes good games, but none of it addresses the guy's point that they don't listen to their true fans. Not that I agree or anything, but that's what HE was saying. I don't know if you've ever read the Blizzard forums, but he's certainly not...

No, the article IS stupid, because the situations between the game franchises and companies are different enough that this comparison is pointless and silly, pretty sure I mentioned this earlier on. Not congruent in the least. I guess you disagree? Sure, I understand that. Still, you might...

Neither was the Barbarian, or any of the other classes in D2. Are you going somewhere with this?

I said nothing about it not being faithful. I'd rather not scream strawman at you, though, because that shit's weak, but my point is it's different enough from the last game to cause concern with many fans of the series. It is simply not a matter of "more of what everyone wants." I mostly like...

I've seen that guys "color correction" pic on this subject, and I think it's kind of funny he didn't include any pics of act 2 or 3, which were a ton more colorful than that damn dungeon. It was speculated (confirmed?) that Act 1 was completed fairly early in the development cycle, which helps...

All of that was based on the gameplay video (with developer narration) and the Q&A with the lead guy, who people are refering to as Leonard Boyarsky. I'm not sure if he's trustworthy, though; good point! Hey, you're preaching to the choir! But hardcore Diablo fans might not feel the same...

This is never going to be the point. Jesus fuck, ISO?! I hate to be the bearer of bad news in this thread, because I'm even more excited about D3 than all of NMA put togther in one big seething-with-hatred pile but there's a few things being changed from Diablo II that need to considered...

I bet their reaction is like everyone else's: "Sweet!"

This is actually the first time I've read someone here refering to Diablo as an RPG without also adding some snarky qualifier to it. Good to know! :clap: But yeah, the main thing is this whole F3 vs D3 comparison is so flawed it's hard to believe people are entertaining it, even around...

Man, looks like these shiny updated graffix are picking up some new fans for Diablo, eh? :wink: Say, are there any more "part 3" games on the horizon that look to be pure successors to their "part two" bretheren? I can't wait till some blog drags them into the fray too...

Graphics whore :wink:
