Diablo 3

<< < (18/42) > >>

McTaggart:
You have a point, but really I'd prefer to play a game that's better. There are things it did that I thought were really good, and I think it's fair to say that I hope they keep them or at least not make them not so good. That's really all I'm saying there. I'm not gonna get all fired up and start writing petitions or anything (what the hell guys, petition to change the art? Jeez). I'll give the game a chance whatever happens to it, but I guess I'm just gushing about how well done some parts were in diablo 2.

Noct:
Also, correct me if I'm wrong (can't watch the video again right now), but I don't think potions are going anywhere.  They'll still be in the game to use as you need them, health orbs will just be there to streamline the "trash mobs" so you don't have to be chugging health pots every minute on normal enemies.  Hey, maybe it'll make it so large amounts of life/mana leech isn't a requirement for higher level melee characters, so you can get a bit more diversity in your gear.  And really, did the gameplay look THAT different from Diablo 2? 

imapiratearg:
Don't get me wrong, I really like the new gameplay!  It looks totally bitchin' as opposed to Diablo II, where your character would stand in the same spot and do the same movements every time you clicked to hit or cast a spell.  It just kind of feels like they're bumping it up to an action game.  I think I over reacted with my last post, but I am just worried they might do away with all the nuances that made the game intelligent and challenging.

My barb just can't handle any respectable mob without using three (level 21 in the start of act 3, roughly 400hp, that's half the amount my level 69 act1 hell necro has, resists chosen depending on what damage I'm gonna be facing, drawing people off and fighting on my terms, using warcries intelligently) and my necro can't do anything without quaffing super mana potions like a dodgy radiator goes through water. I don't want to play a game where I have to put any points into energy.

I really hope atleast for a long time (like d2, it took forever for people to do the crazy "charms+enigma+whatever-to-get-the-bare-minimum-stats-you-need" builds.  Why include a stat you end up not needing?  I hate when core mechanics of a game are destroyed by stupid stuff through patches :-/

Noct:
Fair enough, with a game like Diablo I can see why you might get a bit apprehensive with some things (I sunk countless hours into D2 back in the day).  But for me, it comes down to two things: 1)the trailer, even in shitty resolution, looked great, and 2)Blizzard has yet to steer me wrong... ever.  This isn't something that any other game developer has done for me, so I've got some pretty strong faith in their stuff.
