Who does even care about Diablo 3?
the same people who care about skyrim, dragon age and mass effect
Codexers
Who does even care about Diablo 3?
Hate to break the hatin' mood here gentlemen, but after some more thorough playing, I came to the conclusion that Diablo 3 is the best Diablo clone since Diablo 2.
Pre-Ordered.
DDO is a game clearly with a focus on MP (because it's an MMO) - it plays much better than Diablo 3, has better quests and chars can be unique. And it has a shitton of stats and skills and feats you can customize to create a char that you will play with - in a non-linear world where quests are not scaled to the level you will inevitably have when you reach them. Combat is the same as in Diablo - kill everything.
Soldiers in OFP have numbers for accuracy, aiming speed, aiming shake, morale, commanding talent, spotting time etc. that can (and are) set for each soldier differently - so that means it has a stat system
So did you get that warm and cozy feeling for defending D3 for dumbing down stuff further instead of making stats work well to let players create unique chars? Well done, bro.
I've heard that if you're a wizard and equip a physical weapon, like a club or something, it increases your spelldamage.
Don't know if this is true or not. Anyone checked?
You needed to. To have some kind of good accuracy, you needed high dex. If you want block, you need dex. If you want hard hitting damage, you went STR. If you want to survive hits, you need VIT.
The fun is in ridiculous health regen then that lets you defeat any amount of enemies?
Or is the fun in grinding the boss which will never kill you because you heal faster than he hits - but has a shitton of HP so it's like MMO raid?
Or is the fun in that Diablo 3 is a pre-set linear corridor in a nutshell?
Is the fun in that it plays like an action game for housewives where the only thing you can influence is how your character is dressed up?
Just because every min-maxing "hardcore"-player played the same 3 characters over and over after he had watched an Youtube vid that told him he had to do so, doesn't mean that everyone is doing it.
Gotta love all the Blizzard apologists that roam in these forums and their retarded arguments.
cowboy moment
s if it was not an option to create a balanced and fun system instead of dumbing it down to shit
Fun game. Will play again.
However, the game is very clearly dumbed down in relation to D2, and claiming otherwise firmly cements the person as a delusional Blizzard fanboy
D2 wasn't exactly complex. Does saying that make me a Blizzard fanboy?
All in all it gives more customization than diablo 2 , because in diablo 2 when you'd hit lvl 80+ everyone would end up with same skill build character. Now thanks to that, you don't have to make a new char to try different build, but you can just customize your char on the fly. If you could think Skyway you would know that instead of sprouting bullshit.

Syril is officially the Blizzard incarnation of Volly?
Actually, it's called perspective. There can be no MASSIVE decline when there wasn't actual incline to begin with. Diablo 2 is a casual popamole game. Diablo 3 appears to be a casual popamole game.It certainly was more than D3.
So, your point it what exactly? That if D2 wasn't very complex then D3 can do away with any resemblance of complexity it had?
Hey, I know, Fallout 2 wasn't exactly serious so Fallout 3 can be a circus show.
This is why we can't have nice things. The Codex cries about dumbing down, but when there's dumbing down they just praise the developers for "streamlining" just like any other retard out there.
I am traveling through
teh interwebz, I am looking for
somewhere to settle -
it cannot be here. Nobody likes
me and i have no
fucking clue why.
Why are your panties in a twist?
The exciting story of Diablo 3 development:
1. In Diablo 2, players would only pump stats up to a certain cutoff point, determined by gear requirements or block/dodge caps, and put the rest of their points into Vitality, since none of the other stats offered a major enough benefit.
The Average Player: Well, they should rebalance stat importance for Diablo 3, so that they make a noticable difference at higher levels, perhaps even award more points later on. Ideally, the player should have to choose between damage and survivability by making stat allocation choices.
Blizzard: Just remove stat allocation altogether.
Syril: Excellent decision, Blizzard! You guys are so smart!
2. In Diablo 2, even though the skill trees seemingly allowed for a lot of different builds, players focused on MP would still use one of the few optimal ones.
The Average Player: Well, why is that bad? Everyone gets to do what they want to do, a casual SP player can win with random crap, while the hardcore MPer can have fun figuring out what the optimal build is. And with a good skill-tree, we will undoubtedly see builds the designers hadn't anticipated. It would be best if they took the ideas developed while patching D2 (like synergies) and improved upon them further.
Blizzard: Remove skill trees, too complicated for our new target audience.
Syril: Totally agreed, Blizzard. I know you will design the new system so that it allows for even more choices than the one in D2.
3. Always online, even for single player.
The Average Player: Why do I need to suffer the typical online annoyances - like lag and disconnects - if I only want to play single player?
Blizzard: This way you don't need to distinguish between SP and MP characters. And believe us, our new Battle.Net service is so good, you'll never want to be offline!
Syril: (Difficult to talk with a cock in mouth)
Don't worry Syril, my friend, I only used you as a stand-in for Blizzard fans so my work could resonate with the Codex audience better.
What standards has D2 set that D3 is decaying? I've sunk countless hours in both D1 and D2 (many more in D2 actually, and I've replayed that one recently as well), and I fail to see how what's being said about D3 (haven't played) is a HUGE MASSIVE DECLINE over the first two.Because standards are decaying rapidly.
If d3 is dumbed down than d1 did not exist at all by your logic.
Yeah and they started declining when someone started to care about a diablo game. Just fucking stop it you goddamn decliner.Because standards are decaying rapidly.
Hate to break the hatin' mood here gentlemen, but after some more thorough playing, I came to the conclusion that Diablo 3 is the best Diablo clone since Diablo 2.
Pre-Ordered.
Don't know how you came to this conclusion. What exactly is so awesome about it if I may ask? I really can't see it.
All I see is a game that completely lacks soul and feels like a software for getting loot.

rofl diablo 1 had no skills at all, what do you call diablo 1 then? dumbed dumbed down shit ?
DEAL WITH IT.
and blizzard is a good company that cares for their product and people, blizz did not went popamole like bio or beth.
