entrerix Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 pretty cool, its like a mix between the assassin and the amazon. will probably be my second character (witch doc first, monk 3rd, barb 4th, will never end up making a wizard before inevitable expansion which features probably 2 new characters of which i will play 1 and then never play the game again) yeah, i plan ahead. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hating the new art style for Diablo 3. Yes, colour is a good thing, but when you remove all the grit from the game it starts looking like WoW. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrerix Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 i dont really know what wow looks like, but this doesnt look very different from diablo 2 to me. diablo 2 had that whole desert area which was super NOT gothic. only the first diablo really had that medieval gothic feel, and a very large part of that was in the music and sound design (which was a total failure in part 2 and probably will be again in part 3) on the other hand, diablo 3 is just a more fully featured and fleshed out game than part 1, so even though the atmosphere was much better in the first game, i play part 2 more often.

I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 It's not the lack of gothic art or too many colors. It's the difference between the awesome concept art and the godawful low-poly ingame model. There is no grit, as in contrast and actual detail. Everything seems soft, much like WoW. Diablo 2 may have been colourful and varied, but it tried to be pretty photorealistic or at least it had an insane amount of detail and grit. This... this looks cartoony, which might fit in Warcraft and Starcraft, but not Diablo. Also the whole dual-wielding crossbows is dumb. Maybe if they had been fully automatic crossbows ala Van Helsing it wouldn't have looked as ridiculous, but that trailer had me laughing at the bolts magically appearing from the tip of the crossbow (heck, they don't even look like bolts, just little white lasers) as if she was wielding a gun.

Kaftan Barlast Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 BREAKING NEWS: FABLE 3 RELEASED FOR THE XBOX 360 AND NO ONE CARES. AFP Reuters report that even though the pirated release has been out for hours, there has only been a single download and that guy accidentally clicked the wrong torrent when browsing for porn. One youth sitting idly buy commented "That new minigame where you can shine shoes for passers by and the feature that allows you to watch paint dry in real time seem pretty tempting, but I think Im going to go clean public urinals instead." Other people were simply not interested enough to even comment.

Zoraptor Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'm glad Paradox takes care to stagger their releases. If CK2, MMtG and DW came out in close proximity to each other I'd probably not have enough spare time to breathe let alone sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hear that in Fable 4, there wont be any story or gameplay at all, but just a succession of increasingly pointless minigames and highly elaborate peripheral features that have no actual impact on anything. Real conversation: Me: "I really want to work on an RPG at some point, and that's just not happening in the UK" Co-worker: "What about Lionhead" Me: "They don't work on RPG's" Co-worker: "Fable?" Me: "That's not an RPG!" *Storms off in disgust* I've certainly had the Fable as an RPG discussion with Lionhead/ex-Lionhead employees and my stances is I'll be dead before I accept it as an RPG. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!

Morgoth Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Agreed. Blizzard usually reworks the textures shortly before release. Still, I miss the dark look from Diablo 1. D3 is way too colorful. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrerix Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 i just miss the sound and music design of the first game. the visuals look totally acceptable to me in the new game and i'm sure some areas will still have a more medieval look to them. I kinda wish that tristram and its 20+ level dungeon would be a playable area in D3, i think that would be really cool (particularly if they kept all the original score for the town and dungeon areas) Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.
