I really disliked Diablo 2, but this was years ago. Perhaps my tastes have since changed.

 

[Fedorov]

I saw the cinematic, and the gameplay videos and I'm totally hyped, regardless of my natural hate for Blizzard

Same here, but let

Diablo was made redundant by Sacred imho, a game so stupidly vast and hack and slashy once completing it you will never play a hack and slash game ever again.

That said I do like it. A lot. *installs it again*

Don't care for Diablo 3, completed Diablo and never cared for Diablo2. Can't see it being anything special.

IMO the time for hack&slay action-adventures like diablo, titan quest etc.(with the camera looking down on your player) is just over.

Looks like they're using Starcraft 2 engine for it. Looks a bit cartoony like WC3, I hope it'll turn out sharper and much more darker.

Well looking at those screenshots I was expecting more. Especcially when you look at Sacred 2 which looks MUCH better imo. Then again Diablo was just announced today.

What with Age of World of Warhammercraft? It's still seems to be a working formula for selling games if you ask me.

I looked at the screenshots and the graphics sux, in the video it looked much better, because of the small size and the awesome animations, specially when that boss eats half of the barbarian, main characters getting killed in grotesque ways is a nice touch =)

 

[Zips]

"The graphics sux..."

Wow. Care to elaborate on how they "sux"?

 

[Fedorov]

look at the models and the textures, they are quite simple and cartoonish

just look at this guy:

even guild wars which is more than 3 years old has much better detail in the characters

What point are you trying to make? Blizzard has always made their games accessible to a huge number of gamers across a wide spectrum of hardware, much like what Valve does. Are you really that hung up on graphics for a game that features a ton of enemies on screen at once with gameplay that is apparently making Diablo1/2 fans wet themselves?

As I said a was talking about action adventures that are played from an isometric point of view(the player looking down at his character). WoW, AoC etc. are pretty much 3rd person MMOs.

stop fanboying me, I already said the good things about the game, like the great animations and features, but as for the graphics, blizzard fail once again, with the cartoonish crap they've been releasing since warcraft 3, take a good look at diablo 2 graphics, sure the resolution is crap and the pixels are huge, but the ambient is quite realistic and dark, just like with the first Starcraft, and since they moved to 3d, they can only do cartoons

Diablo has sucked from day one, I don't call randomly clicking left mouse over and over again fun, in fact it's about as much fun as using excel.

Thats pretty much every PC game thats been released in the past... 15 years.
