Please remember to be polite. The bickering in this thread is almost to an unacceptable level.

I liked both Diablos. The necro will be missed.

Am I the only one who loved Diablo 1 over the 2nd? Granted the coop/online play was a joke, but MAN I loved the first Diablo - even the music was amazing.

Diablo 2 was too geared for online/Battlenet play for me. Fun, but not nearly as fun SP.

Tho - I will say that the hardcore Necro I played (Mr. Eskimo) on battlenet will never be forgotten! It's retarded that I remember that toon's name...:laugh:

mluppleOf course you like the trailer. Of course it was amazing... It was pre-rendered CG. It doesn't look anything like how the game actually looks. Why shouldn't I be butthurt? Diablo 2 is an amazing game, and those of us who still play the game have been hoping for Diablo 3 for like 10 years. It's a shame that it looks like a bird's eye view of WoW.

Cartoon's can be fun, and have their place, but it doesn't fit with what Diablo 1 and 2 are.

how do you know that diablo 3 wont be better than 2? true fans will play the game and enjoy it for what it is instead of bitching about what it could be

btw the graphics are not pre-rendered and they look great so who cares if its "dark" or not, there is oodles of violence, great graphics and presumably good game play

it doesn't look much like wow, WoW has sub par graphics

Good, they were more a issue than any thing, will not be missed by me lol.

At this time i don't think the games all that but time will tell and as far as i can tell there's going be a demo as you can reserve it on fileplanet. Not seen any thing of the game really seemed linear to me which will stop me from buying it.

ExavierNo Necro?!!?!?!!?
This Is Heresy!
Heresy!

no...

This is

SPARTA!!!

:D

Ahhhh... fresh meat.


The diablo 3 HD trailer did not look cartoony at all. Its simple a spruced up diablo II. It looks VERY similar, in fact - excluding the physics aspects.

I wouldn't get upset about it. This simply means they have an expansion pack in mind. I take it everyone forgot about the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction expansion pack?? Which included the Druid and Assassin. Was there another?? And if I remember correctly you need the expansion pack to play online. I forgot why though. Not sure if it was do to the update or because everyone was playing it.

They removed the necromancer because there was two options: make him weaker and piss off the fans, or leave him as he was (unbalanced/too powerful - if not by much)

So they re-invented him as the witchdoctor. end story.

There will be an expansion pack, don't worry.

I wonder what the community will be like this time. I would hate to see a repeat of what they had before.

I'm pretty sure you didnt drop your equipment in diablo II, only in DI

EnergyFXNever was much a fan of the Necro. I loved me some Paladin though!

Just hope that they don't end up making your Diablo Paladin into a buff+healbot:banghead:
Blizzard: Pallydins are Healers! Stand back and L2heal! (WHich is what I end up playing):respect:

mluppleI was really looking forward to Diablo 3 for years and years, but after watching the videos, that game looks WAAAAAAAAY too cartoony like World of Warcraft. It's not scary looking at all. What a joke. F U Blizzard. Get a new art director!

For me, Diablo lost its scary atmosphere back in the 2nd installation.

you are not alone my friend, diablo 1 was THE BEST. its multiplayer may not have been as good as diablo 2's but at the time, it was good enough to continue playing with friends for a very long time =P

SeleneIm not sure picking up Diablo and Diablo2 would be worth it now days, but when they were in their prime their was no better.

I disagree on one condition: if you have a buddy to play with. I recently started playing Warcraft III with my cousin, and it has been an absolute BLAST. We just 2v2 online, and I haven't had this much fun in a LONG time.

And if any of you know me and games, I can't stand playing anything older than a few months, because I always love the latest and greatest and if a game has graphics that don't amaze me, it bothers me to no end, but games by Blizzard can have new life if you have a buddy to play them with.

I can say I'm definitely looking forward to Diablo III.

Cartoon's can be fun, and have their place, but it doesn't fit with what Diablo 1 and 2 are.

if you still play the game you've obviously missed out on 101 newer games out there or your pc can only handle something that old.

second the graphics look great, a little like the xbox's forgotten realm game... can't remember the name. but it's a great looking game and if you read the news you'll have read on the web that the graphics in the demo will be exact or at best close to what you saw.. that and of course i doubt they'd make a game that took this long to create look like shit.


And lets not forget the timeline here. I've been playing world of warcraft since beta, and despite it's shitty graphics it's a kickass game(i'm sorry in advance if you're toon lost to my lock/priest combo-that's just too bad). so i don't think diablo 3 will look anything like the dated game teh WoW is.

diablo 3 has TWO different movies out - ones a cinematic trailer (pre rendered) while the other (available in HD) is gameplay footage.

The gameplay footage looks nothing like WoW, it looks like diablo II.

Hehe!
Someone called Diablo a RPG...

Necro was crap in the lower levels, but dang, once you got the golems it was all over for the rest of the game. He was very unbalanced. As for the graphics, I couldn't give a rip about them as long as the gameplay is good. It's not cel shaded, or Anime, so I am good.

largonHehe!
Someone called Diablo a RPG...

but... it IS an RPG

Did someone say...
BONE WALL?

mluppleIf you think this isn't pre-rendered YOU'RE retarded.

both of you stop with the name calling.

there are two movies. Ones game footage, ones pre-rendered.

For the last time, quit with name-calling.
