I've searched the forums and I don't think anyone's posted a thread about this yet.
What do you guys think about the sound effects that we've heard so far in the gameplay videos?
Personally I don't like them. They're too squishy sounding. Mostly you hear the squish and not the weapon impact. Granted the spells have pretty good sounds, but the melee seems somewhat lacking in my opinion. I'd like the weapons to have a little more oomph to them. Diablo 2 had very good impact sounds. It's not really a big thing...it's just been bothering me a bit.
Few years ago I watched the D2 first trailers, and the sounds were very bad(Some D1 sounds), then they got improved in D2, I think most sounds will be improved for the release of D3.

Yeah, I know what you mean. They did seem to have a "squish" feeling to them.
They were probably going for a sound closer to steel cutting through flesh and bone... but ended up with a metallic sounding squish.

I don't like D2 sounds execly because of the overnoise of skills and weapons.
Those sounds that are repeated very fast and during a long time gets boring and annoying to me in a blink.
I loved D1 sounds because whenever you entered a new level it changed alot (because the spells you use tends to be different from one level to another and because of the monster noises). I really loved that.
About D3 i'm not very certain... Sound is the kind of thing that i've to pass years playing the game to discover if i like it or not =3
I'm impressed actually with the D3 sounds. Definitely an improvement from D1 and 2. Expect modern grade sound effects opposed to 1998 sound effects, so I don't think there will be problems with this category. WOOT 1100 posts Zhar.
