i guess the community manager wont make it to see the release of the game:!:

but seriously who expects something really great from this game? the whole idea behind the project of Diablo 3 is to fully consume the last bits of financial success this franchise has to offer and thats it.

What the hell are you talking about? I expect it to be just like Diablo 2. Great fun game with a good story behind it.

I don't know. I think they obviously want it to be great, or else it wouldn't have been delayed for so long, but I'm still wondering why they changed the art direction from "oh dear lord you're in hell and it's dark and grisly and god save us all" to "this is a fantasy game with demons." My friend's uncle is actually one of the art directors for the game, so maybe I should ask him.

I went looking at screenshots and gameplay and compared D3 to D2. I understand what you mean by the art direction, but I kinda like the new art too. I know it's more colourful but I'm sure there will be DARK areas we haven't seen yet.

The story kinda sucks compared to D2, well at last, it's not a good start. And I'm not talking about the awesome CGI, more about the content of the story itself. Cain is more of a support character, he doesn't have the qualities of a protagonist, same for his whiny girl.

Story was just a motive (it wasn't bad, but not godly either) and...sorry but what?...I played the beta at a friend, where on earth did you manage to find the story? there was barely anything in the beta yet you somehow talk like you've seen it all and you're just sharing an "educated" view on its subject.

Is it "just" a start or isn't, which one?

The game has been datamined months ago. In that people know the boss fights. So, assuming he's done this. He may know how a few things twist and turn, but in how Blizzard has unveiled it, he doesn't know and he's probably just trying to rile people up. :)

I don't know anything but it's obvious from the first cinematic and the material as well as stuff we can read about the game that they gave a lot more dept to his character to make him more important. [spoiler] It's also obvious he's directly related to the next Diablo apparition since he's going to die (he's passing the flambeau to his adopted daughter), he's probly going to be Diablo himself. Some other people think it's his daughter but I'm putting my bet on him. [/spoiler]
