it looks dated. it looks like an old game. At this point, with all the amazing gaming experiences I've had this gen, I'm passed this type of game (mindless looting, dungeon-crawling hack n slash bollocks). I just don't understand the appeal of playing 12-year old rehashed gameplay with ugly graphics on my super rig. why does this excite people?

IMO blizzard is just as guilty as nintendo in taking advantage of people's nostalgia

If you need to know why people love Diablo 3 I'd suggest you should take a seat and ask yourself why do people play games at all?

(answer is cause it's fun, in case you're that stupid)

Am I The Only One Who Knows You Aren't Supposed To Capitalize Every Word In A Title?

And I hope you're alone on that, the game is very pretty, very easy on the eyes. I don't know why people need Crysis, realistic graphics, for every damn game. Can't at least one look painterly?

The game has real issues, specifically with its 'difficulty' and depth of a puddle items.

I really like the backgrounds and art direction, only thing I think looks bad are the end game armors, just like in Skyrim.

Also if you seriously think Blizzard is as bad as Nintendo with that you are just completely wrong.

Is it too much of a stretch that some people, some as in, 6.3 million people, like different things than you? That said, why should they be concerned with what you like or don't like? Funny too, that you said about dated graphics and rehashed gameplay. The only games that actually try to innovate or provide depth are indie games...and they certainly don't sport top-of-the-line graphics, generally. Far from it, actually. I wonder if you are referring to the typical triple AAA budget games from big publishers as "your amazing" gaming experiences, coz they are the epitome of rehashed gameplay this whole gen and stagnation of gameplay ideas.

The ironic and sad thing is that while it's built to run on a wide variety of hardware, that doesn't matter because lag and stuttering take the place of any performance issue the game would have otherwise. I can't help but laugh.

to be honest near all games this gen have been "bland, mindless and dated gameplay" Especially most of the FPS games, or rather any AAA game with almost no exception have been rehashes of what weve seen before. D3 is no better or worse then the rest, it just is what it is. Cant blame it for that really, unless you have to blame for the sake of blaming. That said I have very little interrest in it.

Logically I can see why it is appealing, easy entry, and the lootwhoring is a formidable force in any game.

So go play Demon's / Dark Souls then. D3 is geared towards the majority of people who like to play games because they are fun, not just because they are hard.

Diablo 3 flat out sucks: the art style, the loot, the story. The gameplay is still fun in a mindless kinda way, like all ARPGs, but for $60 + DRM the game should be way better. What a colossal disappointment...

black_chamber99

It doesn't look dated to me though, it looks like a painting in motion, very appealing to the eye. The cinematics are glorious aswell. Basically, an up-to-date, polished point 'n click - action RPG.

At this point, with all the amazing gaming experiences I've had this gen, I'm passed this type of game (mindless looting, dungeon-crawling hack n slash bollocks).

black_chamber99

That is what's called a 'dislike', it's perfectly natural, no genre/game will appeal to all people. Just because you don't like this genre, doesn't mean everyone shares this view.

I just don't understand the appeal of playing 12-year old rehashed gameplay with ugly graphics on my super rig. why does this excite people?

black_chamber99

Well if you would pull that stick out of your ass, you would notice how wonderfully diverse preferance is, from person to person.

You can say that again. I haven't been so disappointed in a game like this in years....probably not since GTA IV.

IMO blizzard is just as guilty as nintendo in taking advantage of people's nostalgia

black_chamber99
Only nostalgia I have of Nintendo games is Super Mario Kart and the first Pokemon. Yet I still love Nintendo games. In fact, I recently got into Pokemon a lot more because of hardcore mechanics I didn't know back when I was young, and I recently finished my first Metroid game (Zero Mission) which happens to be one of the best games I have ever played, far better than some of the recent sh*ts I have played. I have not played Diablo 3, but I did start Diablo 2 for the first time very recently, and I can say it's still comparable to other games gameplay-wise (and superior to a lot of them) Old =/= dated Moreover, Old =/= only-relying-on-nostalgia-blinded-fanboys-galore

I think it looks fantastic. I love Blizzards 'style' artistically. An added bonus is that it's not system intensive.

To be honest i agree the game is a disappointment. Generally its a tired genre a little simplistic tho a certain element of skill that is until the IMBA cookie cutter builds come and the IMBA Loot! I dunno yeah its pretty bad on some levels even in its genre! The community is rubbish and unfriendly and to top it off the majority of players just race through it to get the best stuff in inferno.

It does'nt look dated at all.. In fact it looks great for 3D isometric gameplay.

It's DRM is crap but otherwise it's ace.

Ah man. If Zero Mission is your only Metroid, you need to pick yourself up a copy of Super Metroid. Best Metroid ever made and Zero pales in comparison.

I agree as well, game is not fun enough or the loot good enough, to justify running the same lame 4 acts over and over. Dont know how blizzard expects to keep people hooked for as long as they seem to think they will, adding that real money AH that insnt even up yet.

Yes you are. That's why it is called "title case."

OT:

I don't know what to make of Diablo 3. Point and click to attack. I suppose the same could be said about any PC game, but in Diablo 3 the input looks curiously disconnected to the action to me.

It's also $60, which is a lot to ask for a PC game you can't even play offline.

You knew going in exactly what the gameplay was going to be like, it's your own fault for not knowing what you like. As for the graphics, yeah they could definitely be better. Titan Quest looks about as good as it and it's 6 years old.

The funny thing is that no console could handle Diablo 3 maxed out, not even at 30fps. Especially when there are a lot of mobs on the screen and everyone is using their skills. The game's art style looks great to me once you use the enb mob which makes it darker and sharper.

It's my personal game of the year. In terms of being 'dated' - how? Just because it's a genre that isn't popular or released much any more doesn't mean it's a dated game. Shooters today are the same shooting mechanics as shooters of the year 2000. RPGS are still RPGS. Racers are still racers. It's not dated, it's just a genre that essentially doesn't exist any more.

It sold over 6 million. Enough proof lot of people enjoy it. If you don't like it it's not the genre/game for you and you can suck Blizzard big fat rich c0ck.

Just because people bought it, doesn't they enjoyed it.

Games like music, books and movies are just there to meet your needs... weather your someone who wants to loot dungeons or someone who wants amazing story. After playing the beta I was put off by the game but I understand why people would play it.

Considering there was both a beta and now a trial, you'd think they would go for that before dropping money on a game they don't know if they'll like or not.

Considering there was both a beta and now a trial, you'd think they would go for that before dropping money on a game they don't know if they'll like or not.

Well, yeah. But there are people who just blindly buy on hype. You can't just say everyone who bought it, enjoyed it.

It is a game built with an old style, but freshened up. Like Starcraft 2. Both are amazing.

Looks awesome, I think. It runs really smooth and the action (which can get very busy) still manages to be readable with the style they chose. I like the way it looks a lot more than these super-technical blow-up games.
