On the other hand, there are those stealth blizzard fanboys who make fake posts trashing PoE and pumping D3 ;)
not enough time for gaming!

The problem Miljan is that diablo 1 and 2 where not horror games. They had very dark, brooding atmosphere, but they were not horror games. No where was either of those games deliberately trying to scare you.

And, I think a lot of people here have some kinda over nostalgic fondness of the past that was Diablo 2 and see it through very rose colored glasses. Diablo 2 had a lot of bright colors. Hell, you had glowing green, blue mobs.



I agree that they were not horror games. But the feeling of the game was very different than in d3. Diablo 2 had outdoor areas so was more bright, but in caves and dungeons it had similar feeling to d1. It was dark, you couldn't see what will come in front of you, there was tension when you played, especially in HC on hell. Also a lot of people forget art style of d3 that has changed a lot, from gothic style to more different WoW like style.


Again, you're remembering Diablo 2 through rose tinted glasses. Also, what you call atmosphere and mood was probably largely due to poor resolution and hardware limits at the time (that and the game was all sprites)

Trust me, when you play HC in Diablo 3 the tension will still be there. Wait till you run into your first Champion pack with Nightmarish, Extra-Life, Vampiric & Vortex modifiers on them. You'll be worried about getting owned.

There's plenty of 'gothic' architecture in Diablo 3. You clearly aren't looking past the VERY limited beta. There are dungeons full of rivers of blood and gore, dark forboading spider lairs, decrepit crypts, hellish fiery landscapes. All of which you can see just by looking at class videos or skill videos.

WoW is NOT a soft, painter-esque art style. Diablo 3 is, and it works very well.

Honestly, D3 doesn't need any pumping or stealth trash posts. No matter the rabid haters here, Diablo 3 will be a juggernaut.

This game just need to make the Open Beta appear on Steam and it will take over (the world, muhahaha).

I hope it does come to steam once in open beta. Most people I tell about the game have never even heard of it so once it is more exposed I think more people will find they enjoy this game a lot and steam could help with that.

It was not because of resolution and hardware limitation, becouse PoE has exactly the same feeling. The tension does not come from HC it self, it comes from not knowing, the darkness, the feel. You must play d2 and especially d1 again if you forgot. I played them last year =).

About architecture, just look at the texture of environment, monster models, and other things. That's not realistic gothic. Compare environment textures of PoE to that of d3 you'll see what i mean. You can have good and blood in torchlight, it doesnt make it gothic and dark, as in diablo, becose diablo had both art style, realistic environment textures and gore.

Art style works good if the game was not a diablo sequel. But because it is, it doesnt work good.
Won't support Blizzard / Activision anymore. Since Blizzad North is dead I lost all my interest towards D3. Besides that, I'm going to kickstart PoE in the next months. That will be my final decission.

Already spent more than 100 hours on this game. There is absolutely nothing which can change my mind with this game and my plans for this game.

My little tribute to Diablo 1 aka why Diablo 3 is the worst part of the series.

Its funny to see so many ppl trying to convince themself how much better PoE will be (over D3) meanwhile on D3 forum noone cares about PoE.

You don't have to convince yourself that yours is right.
