[QUOTE=Tillghast;17625341]World of Warcraft textures/ Released 2004
Diablo III textures/ Yet to be released 2009-?
That is like Left 4 Dead using textures from Half-Life[/QUOTE]
You idiot.
They used the barrel model from Hl2 in portal and left 4 dead. ( and textures ).
You are a closed minded twat. You won't let anything else but your opinion acess your mind and therefore you will never become wiser and stay stupid like that.

Oh and I'll say it again: [B]Diablo 3 is in an alpha stage![/B]
There is alot of polishing up yet to be done.
And besides, the art director on the diablo 3 team got the "Art Director" job for a reason: BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING.

At least we hope he knows what he's doing. I hope Diablo III doesn't end up like Spore or something.

Don't worry, they aren't gonna add Red Spice or a Cell Stage or whatnot.
We thought the demons were too frightning for young children, so we gave them sneakers and put googley eyes on their heads
We thought that the Barbarian was too violent, so we replaced his weapons with styrofoam batons, who turn monsters into happy children.
Hey OP maybe you should boycott it.

Art style liek Spore? You'd have to be one retarded art director to turn from what they have right now into spore.
[QUOTE=ThePutty;17631576]At least we hope he knows what he's doing. I hope Diablo III doesn't end up like Spore or something.[/QUOTE]
Blizzard is a fantastic video game company and none of their games are not corrupted by EA like spore was.
So i don't really think it's going to be a flop.
I'm a blizzard fanboy so thinking about it is ridiculous to me.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;17632485]Hey OP maybe you should boycott it.[/QUOTE]
I'm hoping Blizzard will change the art design on some of the monsters, but that seems really unlikely :/
I just really wanted Diablo III, not World of Warcraft: Lands of Khanduras expansion pack with 5 new classes
The only thing they can possibly do with Diablo III to ruin it is to take it from Battle.net and make is P2P. That's it, everything else is not an issue.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;17609876]Diablo II wasn't very original in their monsters either. They would simply be the same monster over and over again with the same names.

[QUOTE=Smirnoff Joe;17616407]Real people don't nitpick over decent visuals. Instead, they take a long hard look at the gameplay and functionality. For example, the Barbarian's a powerful melee guy, Wizard's good at DPS'ing, Witch Doctor has minions to rend his enemies apart with, and Monk's got loads of martial artistic ability. The replacement of Health Potions with Health Orbs that work instantly on pickup sure adds some constant motion to the gameplay, meaning you don't have to constantly select your potions.
Although I will admit that I miss the old Potions bar. I could easily press a button to quickly knock back a Full Rejuvenation potion during one of the boss battles. Really saved my ass when I fought the Prime Evils. However, I do like the look of the Spell Bar they have there now. I would easily select spells to bus out with that, even if it does carry a certain silly stigma of being associated with World of Warcraft.[/QUOTE]
Ok, Diablo 3's new game-play elements also suck.
Play Titan Quest; it's hotkey bar can macro spells AND potions.
The sad thing is that Titan Quest is more Diablo than Diablo 3 is Diablo.

[QUOTE=Sykomancer;17616479]I kicked Blizzard's worthless ass off of my personal favorite game developer list after they cancelled Starcraft: GHOST and went on to create not one, but [i]two[/i] direct expansion packs for their precious overgrown, bloated, fatass cash cow, World of Warcraft.

It isn't really the fact that they are reusing resources, just the fact that the graphics are so cartoon-y they can use a resource from WoW and that it fits in perfectly.

Too bad I'm not the only one who doesn't like how Diablo III is turning out
I agree completely. I mean, look at StarCraft II, it's got that same stupid cartoonish art style as well. StarCraft II and Diablo III should be more dark and gloomy, not this Saturday morning cartoon shit. Blizzard is just getting lazy.
You play WoW so much every RPG starts to look like WoW to you. The points you mentioned about Diablo III are all about the artwork of the bosses, mainly 3 bosses you didn't like. Are you not going to buy the game now because you didn't like the way they did 3 bosses? You need to stop being so picky about stupid shit like this and look at the game for what it really is: something that entertains you for some time until you get bored of it and move on to the next thing. There's no reason to be so obsessed and nerdy about very specific details that you'd probably miss if you blinked at the wrong time.

As for Blizzard, it has made its mistakes, but if you honestly think they are getting lazy because you think Diablo III and Starcraft II will suck, you are in dire need of a reality check, or possibly some time away from the screen.

Imagine Fallout 3, with Mirelurks that look like Murlocs. Using the Undead race from World of Warcraft to make a Ghoul design.

Okay, yes that was a bad choice of words. However, I still do not agree with the art choice. It still looks the same style as World of Warcraft (which I hate.)

I'm really looking forward to this game. Sorry for your loss OP.

Yes because Company of Heroes' amazing graphics and ability to take close up screenshots that would make most people think they were looking at an FPS totally doesn't work for an RTS and ruins the whole game.
When the random passerby can't tell the difference between their three franchises they have a problem of art design. Diablo, Warcraft, and Starcraft are three very starkly different worlds with three very different atmospheres and art direction. Converging the three is utterly bland and takes the life out of three really great franchises.
Will they still be great? Yeah probably, but they'll be several leagues below what they once were.
