can't resist uglifying and manning-up any female character from past games.

Verdict: True

:retarded:


I mean they have different "races" in customization. And even the apparently "caucasian" variant has huge, negroid lips. It's just so fucking weird and emblematic of modern art design. It's especially funny when you see the people working on the game, they're all so ideologically poisoned they can't even represent their own people in a honest light.

The comparison to Diablo 1 really shows the difference though, when you compare it to games only a few years ago you start to doubt yourself and think, "Am I just distorting memories?" But no, it really is that absurd.

I am so uninterested that I had literally forgotten that this game had already been announced, with gameplay videos included. Then I watched the most recent videos and remembered why I didn't remember.

Granted, the sprite in-game looks like this:

But we all know what's going on. Also, what is it with specifically redheads changing into Africans?

Pretty odd. It's not like there aren't already black characters in Diablo. And of course, square jaw, bulky arms, broad shoulders, and manly pectoral-esque breasts. Blech.
Wasn't there a variant of Peter Parker as a red head? I believe Smallville had Lex as a red head at one time and he sure as hell is looking blackish lately. New spiderman black. Bat-man not a red head but black. Poison ivy next? What the hell do they have against the gingers? Or irish/scottish or ... leprechauns?

hey... he was in da hood.... TWICE!!

I'm surprised they didn't make make/female of each class tbh. Or lesbian the who thing with femme-fatale bullshit sjw crap.

You as the hero of Sanctuary get to sort of wander through these spaces

Sounds riveting. Can't wait to wander aimlessly through this boring world you have been ordered to generate by your corporate overlords. Let's just put this game in the trash where it belongs.

Afair every class in Diablo 4 does have male/female counterparts, they just don't always show them in previews. But the main issue is I guess how much the art style departs from the original Rogue.

I hope this game will go beyond the "religion bad" angle so many "mature" games go for these days. It's kind of low hanging fruit and there is so much more to religion than that.

How the fuck is a game about killing the devil about "religion bad"?

Probably due to the entire thing being kicked off by Archbishop Lazarus taking Prince Albrecht and corrupting the King, causing the downfall of Tristram, resurrecting Diablo, etc. This isn't exactly a massive endorsement of the not-Catholicism of Khanduras.

I don't think they are "uglifying" anyone, the Rogue from Diablo 1 is dead, so it isn't her. The gameplay looks dumb and anime.
