Enough. We don't need the entire front page covered with Diablo 3 crap. I'm sure there's an AOL/Time Warner blog devoted to it.

The comparison we are making to it is the relatively simple "cartoonish" models and flat low resolution textures.
Diablo was always pre-rendered sprites for everything but at least everything was well rounded and natural looking. Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 and Warcraft have pointed corners in their character and world models.
Having said all that I still think that Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 look very good IN MOTION, it's just that their still screenshot counterparts do not do justice to the animation. I will buy this game and it looks great, but to me and a lot of the fans of the original 2 games... the style could do with leaning a bit more into the dark-gritty world we know and love.

Diablo III looks good but I’m going to miss the potion bar. Diablo games were epic and many developers tried and failed to recreate the same experience, this one doesn’t looks as original. They make a lot of reference to Diablo II; I hope is not a fan game. Diablo games were awesome for its originality.
To be honest I would like Diablo III to be a MMO.
Correct- Diablo is a mostly mindless click fest that is very fun and addictive.
Incorrect- Saying that Baldur's Gate is anything like that. Baldur's Gate was tactical, one move against some of the harder fights could win or lose it for you. And the game was not focussed on combat anyway.

"I don't even play the damn game and even I can tell it's artwork for Lich King. Just check all the promotional art for it against this image. It's pretty obvious you dolts."
Ha!
Float yer boat however you like, dude. But when there's this much hype, expect a bit of snarky ribbing. Grow a thicker skin.
His response was very positive.

You need it for Epic Boss Battles
I think they just took away enemies dropping it so the game can go on faster.
But for big bosses? you need to stack up on 20 of them
its a D2 Code
Seriously, Diablo gets boring after about 10 minutes.

Also, as an aside, I love all the people that are now like "Screw you guys, I knew it'd be Diablo III all along" when there were A: No clues B: Nothing suggesting it would be D3 over more Starcraft news or Wrath of the Lich King and C: they're douches.
Silks of the Victor 2.0 here I come!!!

It's a nice consolation, but I'm not kidding when I say that I was really looking forward to a Rock 'n Roll Racing update.
