Diablo III

I agree, and I know where you are comming from with your hate for Diablo 3. I played that game DoTA back in the day, and the new DoTA 2 feels extremely different, even though the heroes are the same and the gameplay is the same, it has an off feel to it. I imagine that's probably how Diablo 3 is for you. I think if you had a wiff of the PvP you'd be mind blown though, it's extremely fun and I imagine the boss battles in this game will be very dynamic in the later difficulties.

 

I feel, it's a matter of adapting which will happen very quickly imo. For instance, I had windows XP for the longest time, loved it, hated vista and I didn't like using W7 for the longest but it eventually grew on me. From what I've seen people are torn between liking and hating the new art direction of D3. It's a matter of adapting now, the game is extremely polished.

 

I really don't think Torchlight 2 will shine brightly out of the 3 games. The game is looking good, but out of the 3 this game is actually cartoony which is apparantly what people didn't like about Diablo 3 even though its not really cartoony, it just has a wider color pallet.

 

I am buying this amazing game, all BLIzzard games are very good games (quality). It is a must have if you bought D2. For the cash shop, I am not worry about it, D3 is going to be played by milions of people, some players will pay money for items but most do not. Anyways you can get the best equipment on your own, paying nothing and have fun.

 

I'm not concerned about people garnering an advantage from purchasing items from the cash shop. If people want to save time spent grinding for equips by buying them, that is completely their choice. I am simply reluctant to support any game which utilises micro-transactions to such an extent. Be it TF2, Diablo III or any other game that utilises those sort of shops for items or whatever.

 

In many games people sell items and accounts for cash through unregulated transaction where you can be cheated. Through cash shops, D3 makes these transactions are regulated and safer for those interested.

I prefer this sort of trade does not exist but this is not possible so the cash shops do not seem such a bad idea.

 

Haha, Cash shop = 100% of the profit, RMAH = Player based market with a small tax that goes to blizzard. Not really sure how much they're gonna make off of it but if anything it'll help keep the servers up, even though WoW is a big pillar for their income.

On a separate note, just you wait and see. People are going to love Diablo 3 after they get used to all the colors! Just like when they got used to SC2, after not liking it for so long.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Blizzard will be making a killing out of the real-cash market. Not that I have an issue with that. :P

 

Either way, the tax has a fixed amount on it. As to respond to your example with coloring grass, techincally you can use blue into green to set a certain mood as to make it seem like it is night time or something, but yea it pretty much depends on the mood you're going for.

You say the problem doesn't come with colors, but really I think it does. If you look at the screen shots, if they were lighted differently then it could change the atmosphere greatly giving it a less "cartoony" feel to it.

If it really does bother you, you can just lower the gamma or something when you play the game.

 

Don't like fan art on your vid, it's too much dark. I just like the one with rain. And yeah, for me the problem is not that, it's the new system of trade with real money.

 

It's not my video, its a video on youtube that makes a great example. I'm pretty sure the rainbow is just blizzard trolling you, even if it stays in there. They had a double rainbow in their slides at blizzcon 2011.

Personally, I like Diablo 3 the way it is now. I think it looks great. A lot of people were complaining about how it looks cartoony. This is just a simple way to compromise the way the game looks for your personal fitting. I think it looks necessarily dark too. It's all just textures and what not though.

 

I know. It was just to tell, you put the link of this video. Also, with that graphics, with that system with real money, I will still play that game. Diablo II charmed me, I'm waiting for III.

 

I never had a computer to play D2 back in the day.

It's been extremely quiet here recently , Anyways http://pc.ign.com/articles/122/1222487p1.html Watch the video. Pretty much all the reason to get diablo 3 are in it.

 

No need reasons to have that game. :)

 

But there are plenty of reasons to have this game, 1 of them beings the awsome PvP!
