Good idea d00d.

Got a few more but that's my teaser for now.

Those are awesome. All mine were real simply creatures. I just had the trial version so I couldn't really make anything extremely interesting.

I love making them walk.

The demo is weak. It's like a demo of a demo really :/

Diablo 3 is officially announced!

kiss my social life goodbye (again)

 

[Vegard Pompey]

The sequel to the most overrated non-MMO of all time. Woo.

 

[DarkBliss]

Personally, I'm quite grateful that Diablo 3 is a non-Money Munching Odyssey.

I think it's cool how in Diablo 3 you can shake walls and shit to kill monsters, and now monsters can actually climb up walls and stuff. Pretty much everything looks a lot better...especially the environment and the graphics.
It's weird though how the Witch Doctor is basically the Necromancer (although Witch Doctor's early summonings look a lot better than the shitty skeletons)...I hope they don't take him out of the game cuz of that, he and Sorceress were the best characters by far. I also find it retarded how the healing and mana thing is gonna work with the orbs...what's gonna happen when you have no monsters to kill and are fighting a boss? It's gonna be so hard to survive lol.

Diablo III sounds pretty awesome so far.

I'm still thanking the lord that this major announcement was nothing WoW-related, I hate that fucking game.

Diaoblo III looks good. Graphically it looks more like Titan Quest than Diablo II - not really getting the grimness and violence of the II from the video. On the otherhand, it's one video and Titan Quest was great. Looks like gameplay-wise it's a slight improvement on II, so that's awesome. Overall, it looks like they're gonna manage to not shit all over that series' legacy. If they accomplish that, they'll have created the best new game in 10 years (major exaggeration, btw).

They're having five classes and they already showed us two, what's the problem with announcing the other three right away? I hope they include paladins again. Paladins are badass.

 

[waif]

They have the Barbarian, so that's all good. They could get rid of the Amazon, I don't care. Necro and Witch Doctor seem redundant, so my guess is Necromancer is also out.

Otherwise, pretty excited. Looks good from the gameplay trailer.
I hope Assassin will stay, or at least something that resembles her.

 

[Uncreation]

Definitely looking forward to this, whenever it will come out. Surely years yet, but at least we can be sure it will be awesome, as all Blizzard games are.

As for the graphics, it's very early on. And they seem to take what fans say into account, so it's likely that things will change. Or maybe there is a reason why it's so bright and colourful at that point.

I'm still kinda hoping for a The Lost Vikings III though.

Has the whole world gone insane? I don't see how people could seriously like Diablo II - the entire game was just mindless hack'n'slash.

YOU'RE ALL ZOMBIES

Sums up my feelings perfectly.

How is it just hack'n'slash? Maybe if you only use Barb and Pally, but I wouldn't know cuz Sorc and Necro are my characters. Definitely not only hack'n'slash with them.
The first two difficulties aren't so hard, but once you get to Hell difficulty it gets pretty messed up with all the resistances the monsters have. You have to become pretty experienced with it to know what spells and skills will benefit you in later difficulties, or else there will be certain stages at which you just won't be able to go on.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Can someone give me a quick runthrough on the basis of this game? I always thought it was a MMO of some sort...

 

[Valdincan]

Sums up my feelings perfectly.

I'm personally hoping those graphics just look cartoony because they are low texture ones for the tech demo, and Blizzard will add high texture graphics like in the comparison screen shot later. I loved the dark feeling of the previous games, and graphics really do help create the mood.

 

[The Butt]

They have the Barbarian, so that's all good. They could get rid of the Amazon, I don't care. Necro and Witch Doctor seem redundant, so my guess is Necromancer is also out.

IMO, if they have some of the D2 classes, they should have them all. I'm a completist like that. Just seems wrong to me to keep the Barb, but replace the Necro with a "Witch Doctor".

I also agree on the screenshot... it looks too colorful and WoW-ish for my tastes. I hope it's just from a demo, and that the final game retains the gothic feel that the previous Diablos had.

@ cherko: Mindless hack'n'slash? Couldn't be farther from the truth. Sure, if you're playing the Barbarian or a melee Paladin, the basic strategy is to hit shit, but the game play is a lot more varied when you try out the casters.

Diablo games never looked that interesting to me. But then again, I was never wealthy enough to be a PC gamer, so I may have conditioned my brain to not give a shit about PC games.
