- rplunk2, on 07/12/2008, -0/+8711. Thou shalt start playing Diablo 2 again in hopes that it will make the wait easier. But it won't.
- ocharry, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4912. Thou shalt buy a durable mouse capable of withstanding a gobstoppingly enormous amount of clicks.
- ripple123, on 07/13/2008, -2/+36Thou shalt not repackage information we already know in yet another bloody top 10 list disguised as "commandments".
- allothersnsused, on 07/12/2008, -1/+26Everyone sees their own loot... Great success!
- Soilwork, on 07/13/2008, -0/+24Potions are still in D3 along with the health orbs.
- oathy, on 07/13/2008, -3/+24While the dark and bleak design is classic Diablo, I don't think it's necessary. A lot of people complained about the stylistic choices for WoW and WC3 when they first came out, but came to love them as they played them.
Emphasis should be on the game play, not having to squint through shadows to see your enemies. - Osirus1156, on 07/13/2008, -3/+24Those pictures are way to dark for me.
- Gonasadude, on 07/12/2008, -7/+28I fapped 8 times when I watched the gameplay video the first time.
- BedPost, on 07/13/2008, -0/+18This game is going to kill my GPA.
- Jhiaxuz, on 07/13/2008, -4/+17***** that petition and anyone who signs it. It could have been another title and it would have made them all bitter, but no, they announced D3 after all this time we have been waiting for it and lo and behold there are people who still find something to complain about.
I can honestly say that the people who sign the petition or moan about how it looks are the vast minority of the people who really appreciate the Diablo universe. If I had it my way, I would divert some cash to devise a plan so the people who sign the petition not be allowed near the title forever. But, I will be happy to see Blizzard trump the whiners and keep the colors they have chosen as my subtle way of giving them all the finger. - Zarokima, on 07/13/2008, -0/+12Yes, I can see it now:
*move cursor, press A, move cursor, press A, move cursor, press A*
As a mainly console gamer, even I feel Diablo should stay PC/Mac only. - Arcadian, on 07/13/2008, -0/+12There shalt be rainbows.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -1/+12You just turned down the contrast and muted the colors. Why does the color palate in every next-gen game have to be light gray to dark gray.
- gozroth, on 07/13/2008, -2/+10Thou shalt put articles on more than one page for no apparent reason.
- enderwiggen16, on 07/13/2008, -0/+7You deserve far more Diggs than you are getting.
Everyone is excited about Diablo 3, but this is neither informative nor entertaining. It only uses Diablo 3 as a catcher headline to rake in views. - estvir, on 07/13/2008, -0/+7It has nothing to do with 'consoles versus PC' but rather Diablo3 would suck on a console.
- mburk, on 07/13/2008, -3/+9Nay.
- Shaflugi, on 07/13/2008, -1/+7..grey?
- Halsfield, on 07/13/2008, -1/+7just play with the screen off if you want it that dark. Things can be evil while still being vibrant. The first game was so dark and gloomy because you were playing a billion miles underground beneath the church. When you're in a jungle it should look green, when you're in a desert setting it should have lots of light reflecting off the white/tan sands. Its stupid to make things dark just for the sake of darkness.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -2/+7You can't be serious.....
- Nateon, on 07/13/2008, -1/+6I tried that, started a barbarian and played through all 5 acts in a weekend. It didn't help.
- lensman00, on 07/12/2008, -2/+7As a single player Diablo fan, I worry a little about the new 'health orb' system. The more subtle classes already had huge problems with Diablo and Baal (i.e. boss wipes out your companions and half your health in the first five seconds, and the rest becomes an exercise in running away, lobbing damage, and drinking potions). Without a stock of health potions available, that type of encounter will need some serious rebalancing. The opportunity is there to make some improvements, though, so the uber-boss encounters work better for the non-fighter classes.
- sek52, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4You've got quite a treasure there in that Horadric Cube!
- rockandrollmark, on 07/13/2008, -1/+5The first act of Diablo II was in a green field. It's not much duller than the Diablo III screens I've seen.
- pdavda, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4I saw this article yesterday but didn't submit it for that reason
- katina, on 07/13/2008, -1/+5> Updated graphics to fit modern gaming standards = not cartoony.
The colors don't bother me. I even like the infamous rainbow scene. It's the 'crazy-manga-huge' armor that I'm not fond of. Why in the HELL would leather gauntlets be 10 inches thick? I want my Barb to look like a warrior, not something from Spore. :P
(Of course they could make the thing look like My Little Pony and I'd still play until I couldn't feel my right hand. Gameplay trailer literally gave me goosebumps.) - Tayls, on 07/13/2008, -1/+5IGN is so ***** lame. Thank you for having sense...I don't know why people enjoy this dribble.
- Jhiaxuz, on 07/13/2008, -3/+7Everyone who says this should lay off the drugs. Really.

I even fit the Diablo 3 image to vertically match that of WoW and it still looks better. D'oh! - Strikersgun, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4that doesnt even look playable
- solesoul, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3Why should it look like that? From what I understand of the story so far, there hasn't been a great evil influence on the world like the first two games, so I don't think its wrong at all that the world is a bit brighter.

- Vikaas, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3It's still isometric though, you never have a horizontal or vertical view.
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -2/+5"Stay a while and listen..."
- cjh24, on 07/13/2008, -3/+5you don't have 1337 eyez
- dning88, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2This brings back a lot of memories of the original game. The original Diablo actually has larger characters than the pics though. Hopefully this is just the resolution and larger screens can also compensate. Sometimes more isn't always better but overall the game looks very promising!
- Halsfield, on 07/13/2008, -1/+3meth is a terrible drug, diggers, with a $25 paypal donation, you can adopt this digger and help him with his struggle.
- Kflo, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Haha just beat normal with an Assassin about 1 hr before reading this.
And no, it didn't make the wait any easier! - str1fe, on 07/13/2008, -1/+3I'm pretty concerned about Spore, as well. I'm secretly hoping my laptop won't run it :/
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Lost connection from Battl.net.
- Arcadian, on 07/13/2008, -1/+3I don't think they should be that dark, either. But it still shouldn't be as bright and prismatic as the demo video.
Multiple different colors does not make good contrast. Few, very different ones do.
Things can still be lacking evil and still look ominous - that's the Diablo way. - Halsfield, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2i think they are trying to balance the boss and just general fights around things other than spamming potions. Like strategy.
Also, as soilwork said, they are still in , you just hopefully wont need 16 belt slots full of them to survive, and now instead have that part of the screen to put skills/attack hotkeys. - JollyDumple, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2"fans" are fine with what blizzard is doing and fully support the company's decisions (so far... there might be some complaints if they don't add certain classes)
- Dracusis, on 07/14/2008, -0/+2Hah, the amount and popularity of Diablo 2 torrents the weekend D3 was announced was rather insane.
- k.monell, on 07/13/2008, -4/+6Completely agree! I am sick of the ignorant haters out there. Do us all a favor and don't play the game when it comes out....we wouldn't want you to *gasp* like it.
cartoony my arse! - greatblackowl, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1It should... My 3-yr old Thinkpad does. Do you have a discrete video card?
- layzice, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1That spew forth from the most epic pink fluffy bunny boss and the end of a mouse button breaking half hour battle consisting of CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK.
thereisnopinkfluffybunnylevel - Jared85, on 07/14/2008, -0/+113. Thou shalt have the baddest A2 merc in the game.
- 19quest64, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1This is genius.
You get an unique.

EVERYBODY GETS THEIR OWN INDIVIDUALIZED LOOT!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! - deusflac, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1well if the orb drops are anything like Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the boss will continuously drop orbs during the fight after a certain amt of damage is done to it.
- kingmanic, on 07/13/2008, -2/+3You could do it with a zookeeper and a auradin. Uber bosses only required a smiter. All other classes were superfluous and just made it harder. I only ever brought others along if I was power leveling them.
