Grimdark grafix or no buy

never been a fan of clickers tbqh

>these threads the last few days
Ok, I'm fucking dying for a new grittier, darker and more atmospheric Diablo untouched by Jew Wilson.

But is there an actual, beyond-speculative source about it getting announced/made? Anything?

>Ok, I'm fucking dying for a new grittier, darker and more atmospheric Diablo untouched by Jew Wilson.
Grim Dawn, specifically, the trip south stories

Oh shit now i'm curious

whatever it is, it can't possibly be as fucking bad as D3 and it's terrible fucking launch...can it?

>more atmospheric

What does this even mean?

but wheres Warcraft 4

absolutely nothing. in a diablo game this doesn't even exist.

Dota 2 is already out dumbass

It retains the gritty, dreary, and "dirty" dark fantasy of the first two games instead of the bright, colorful, and WoW-like generic fantasy of Diablo 3.

>that artstyle

i wouldn't get your hopes up.

the leaked pics so far suggest the same diablo 3 art direction.

Not d4, just d3 necromancer.

unless they announce d3 necro and tease d4 but c'mon now.

What's this then?

>the trip south stories
oh shit nigga that was DARK

I fucking love the sheer amount of flavor lore that Notes provide.

oh, good. Diablo is now a dragon from WoW

Is that a "II" or something under the title?

People like you still exist? Diablo 3's look was the least of it's problems.

I wonder if they will bring back satanic imagery like pentagrams and crosses in D4.

Probably not because they are pussies.

isn't he still trapped with a female body?

It looks like it but the face doesn't match D2 diablo

>it can't possibly be as fucking bad as D3 and it's terrible fucking launch...can it?

sure, only in a completely different way. blizz devs have already explained that D3 got the shaft in updates and focus of their entire catalog because it is the least profitable (i guess deader-than-dead starcraft 2 still makes them some dosh in tv deals in south korea or something)

so the next diablo will be even more casual and full of microtransactions. it will probably be free-to-play

He was asking what atmospheric meant.

The visual direction is only one of my gripes with the game but it is the one you see first.

...

this was confirmed as a painting for their charity art auction. it's not a new d3 xpac

Diablo 1 was a very atmosphere heavy game. It was a slow dungeon crawler with creepy music/ambience. D2 was pretty good, but I always felt it lacked some of that due to the faster pace.

Setting is probably the one aspect Grim Dawn did best.

Died, got imprisoned in the black soulstone, was freed when Malthiel chimped out against the NEPHALEM so no.

>Diablo 3's look was the least of it's problems.

Maybe, but it's weird how when screens were released it was the first thing everyone complained about. At the time I thought they were being petty but it turns out they were right, the game was shit, and the shitty art-style was a symptom of a bigger underlying problem.

how would that be a new game when it uses the shitty d3 font

>Diablo
>Diablo II
>Diablo III
>Di4blo

It's an "X", it's blizzcon's 10th anniversary and the X is the 10 logo

Where?

These is their charity auction, it's not here.

My wife's son is really excited for this. I hope there is a digital deluxe collector's edition with exclusive goodies :)

>D2 was pretty good, but I always felt it lacked some of that due to the faster pace

act i side dungeons like mausoleum, crypt, and forgotten tower all gave a very diablo 1 vibe imo

? this was never confirmed

Oh true, i see it now

>diablo 3 is already free to play in china and has been a roaring success

its the fucking future, the only idiots are the ones who think they can fight it

i wont ever talk to you or him again

Man I'm so excited for diablo three to come out

>ebay.com/rpp/blizzardcharity/blizzcon

>signed mercy still
>12+ bids
>$700+

why

Now I'm horny

after diablo 3, i no longer give a fuck

grim dawn is infinitely better

honestly at this point they need to make a new diablo to fix 3

Doing 40 billion damage a hit is fucking meaningless

FUCKIN ZIMBABWE NUMBERS

needs a new game way more gore and way more spooky

I am prepared for nothing but disappointment. After the absolute shitshow of D3 at launch and the expansion only just making it 'playable' I've no expectation but more of the same boring, unfun greater rift farming.

I want it to be a new Diablo, with at top of the line art and graphic style, a return to its dark and somber aesthetic, the return of actual skill trees, and all of the things that made D2 great. But this is modern, Activision run Blizzard, which is more interested in creating a new profit source than it is making a good game. We'll get, at best, an expansion with a new class (singular, to fuck up balancing), no graphical upgrades, and the introduction of a cash shop called Gheed's Market.

he was trapped in the black soulstone
then the angel guy malthael consumed the stone
then you killed him and he exploded

your character literally says "wait so that means diablo is released"
and they go something like "without a host body, dont worry about it"

>this is how neo-blizz "artists" think d2 diablo looked

christ

This is too fucking true.

It's so hard to give a shit about the numbers you get/do in diablo 3. They're all so fucking inflated, it's meaningless.

I sincerely hope the plot doesn't end up making all the Nephalem heroes into villains like it was implying at the end of RoS.

>the introduction of a cash shop called Gheed's Market

Who leaked this to you? I need to know.

[email protected]

KEK, It's literally just Deathwing with a rocky texture instead of scales

Thoughts?

I actually like this about diablo 3. There's something about seeing big damage numbers that really activates my almonds. Part of why I like Disgaea so much too.

Where is that lewd girl diablo with the hell glow pussy?

>and they go something like "without a host body, dont worry about it"

no, tyrael said that the nephalem will become corrupted next

>"There must always be a Prime Evil," Tyrael shouted as he drove the jagged shard of the umbral soulstone into his chest.

Gheed -> Greed I think he's just saying Blizz will try to reopen a cash shop since even though auction house was a flop, a microtransation shop inside the game will almost always prove profitable

That is not D2 Diablo

Are you retarded?

It'll be half and half

Wait how did the auction house work?

You could play the game, get items and sell them?
Could you then transfer that money into your bank account?

>I sincerely hope the plot doesn't end up making all the Nephalem heroes into villains like it was implying at the end of RoS.

Well the original D1 heroes became Diablo, Bloodraven, and the Summoner in D2, so there is a precedent. Without Chris "c0rRuPt10n" Metzen writing it though, we may dodge that bullet.

game still sucks>That is not D2 Diablo

Normally Sup Forumsv COMPLAINS about piss filters you know

>rainbow

RRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

yep lol i sold a hamburger weapon for 150 bucks

>Are you ready for a new Diablo game?
I'm still waiting for the sequel to Diablo 2.


In all seriousness I still play D2 after all these years. It hasn't aged a day to me; Graphics, gameplay, music, it's just so comfy.

So why did people not like the auction house?

>That is not D2 Diablo

Then why is there a soulstone in his forehead?

>Gheed -> Greed

I miss when every gambling reload guaranteed a unique =(

This is partly why I think they'd avoid it if they were smart but this is blizzard so no.

He's not wrong. Even the pose is the same as deathwings promo art. Just invert the horn, add a bestial nose and soulstone, and Shazam, you got nu-diablo

That is actually his penis

Because back then the loot system was balanced around it and the in-game economy was completely fucked.

>FUCKIN ZIMBABWE NUMBERS
I'm keeping this

>suddenly remembered that d3 had girl diablo

No matter what they are showing about diablo, I'll still be hyped.

>In all seriousness I still play D2 after all these years. It hasn't aged a day to me; Graphics, gameplay, music, it's just so comfy.

I just spent a week on a HC Zealadin. So much fun. There are a couple of QoL changes I'd make, like ditching stamina (even though it's a non-issue after the first couple of hours on a new character), increasing stash size, and doing something about gold inflation without just adding a bunch more meaningless goldsinks. Hell, I'd steal the currency and potion systems from PoE. Atmosphere, classes, skills, droprates. bosses, resistances, affixes etc etc are all ideal though, IMO.

diablo 3 is literally the only game I have ever played where I've uttered the phrase "these 12 million crits are fucking pathetic"

All of d3's problems were its biggest problems, since every aspect of that game is equally terrible.

Dunno anything about that but it was weird how they gave Diablo the r63 treatment.

Even had a decent thigh gap.

Diablo has always been about possesion, so.

DIABLO II ACT MUSIC RANKINGS

5 > 2 > 1 >> 4 > 3

It's not just the colors that make the game look bad.
I have no idea why they decided that diablo needed to have warcraft-styled armor.

I really want to fuck female diablo

It was fucking fantastic for corruption porn, if there was ever porn about it

They tried to scale the crazy numbers down in WoW, but they still let the gear ramp up to the same levels by the expansion's end and didn't bother to try it again

i actually am
i liked d3, wish builds were individual and you couldnt mix and match so easily but whatever

yes, i too remember when diablo had a cock n balls because he had been inside the dark wanderer

2>1>5>4>3

change place with 2 and 1 and you got it spot on. 1 solely for old tristram theme.

I know colors are the primary complaint people here, but Colors really weren't the issue with D3. D2 had colors, lots of 'em.

The problem is art style and overall terrain. Shit like the desert and even that 'oh so dark church' people use in their shitposting image are flatter than Lightning's ass. Sometimes terrain looks like an actual object, like that screenshot, but the edges look rounded and soft where there should be hard corners.

This. I need it. Or at least Warcraft 3 HD/Brood War HD. Please.

>I have no idea why they decided that diablo needed to have warcraft-styled armor.

This was one of the worst things about it. look at this fucking shit.

>Blizzard make a big deal about the stat squish
>a year later you're back to doing fucking nonsensically-high dps

Well get this: you could buy and sell virtual items for real money. But the money would have stayed on your Battle.net account, sort of like a Steam wallet- except if you wanted to take that money out, you have to pay Blizzard something like 25%. And Blizzard was already getting a 10% cut on the auction house sales.

The real kicker, though, was that a blue poster admitted they controlled the drop rates to directly force people to use the auction house to gear up. You had something like a 1 in 10,000 chance of a yellow item being a good roll, and this was at a point in the game where even rares were not widely available. And at the time balancing was beyond fucked- most basic enemies at inferno difficulty could one shot you- those licker enemies from act 3 would routinely one shot players from half a screen away, and the corrupted angels would zip through the screen and instagib anything they touched. So farming was a bit of a bitch.

-----------------------------------

calling it.
fucking blizzard man.

That was also because the loot was bland as fuck.

They revamped legandry items 3 times before people started to enjoy them.

A better loot system means a much more acceptable auction house.

harrogath comfy as shit

lort meets conan

>no more sexy female diablo

Into the trash it goes.

it worked like a wow auction house. people sold gear and it was mailed to them if they bought stuff.

the reason d3 failed resulting from this is it changed the gameplay loop in a bad way. in these types of games the addiction comes from your loot being 'imperfect' you gear can always be just a bit better, roll one of it's stats a bit higher etc, so you keep pushing for better and better gear. however once you add the auction the reality strikes that that 'perfect; gear exists, it usually just dropped for someone else or he no longer needs it or doesn't play that build.. once you can just buy the bis gear, you tend to 'need' to buy that gear and your playtime changes from inquiring gear for you, to squiring gear you sell to buy the gear for you. just buying the gear you need isn't fun, and farming money to buy gear is just your rl job loop in a game, nobody likes that.

well to be fair reaper of souls did have some delicious armor designs.

The sluty fem wizard gear is the best
