I have no desire to see demon genitalia. I would rather see them "furred up" , clothed, or armored. Do not put penis in my Diablo...no, no, no.

I've never played WOW, not even demoed it, so I think most of what I've seen looks awesome. Although, I do agree with the colored stones and the gargoyle statue being too cartoony, but I just love the elemental weapons and most everything else.

I have to disagree with the elemental weapons being "cartoonish"...I don't know about you, but if I see a big barbarian walking down a dark street carrying two big axes with lightning arcing around them, I'm not thinking, "OMG, look at that f**king Elmer Fudd mother f**ker".

What is Gem 2.0?

When I saw the trailer I had the same reaction as the writer of the article, but I allowed my enthusiasm to be colored by all of the naysayers. Well, NO MORE! I love D3 as is and I can't wait to play what I hope will be a great game!

Some of the poster's reading comprehension skills = fail.

Awesome article. Finally something a bit more light hearted instead of all this doom and gloom.

And of course there are no 'insta gib' deaths. FFS use your brains.

That would be my guess as well. Cool, animated, monster-specific deaths would rule!

I've watched the trailer over five times and I haven't seen the rainbow...probably, because I could care less that it was there. I'm playing D2 again, after many years, and the desert area is obviously sunlight during the day. So, the world of Diablo has areas of sunlight, which means that not every area looks like a severe thunderstorm could happen at any minute.

When you mix mist and sunlight you can get rainbows, so what? I like the art direction, although I would like some form of light radius and change the blue/green stones, but overall I like the way it looks, both inside and out. I can't wait to play it and hope it comes out sooner rather than later.

D3 will be officially released 12/21/2012; unfortunately, that is also the date of the end of the world. We will have just enough time to purchase the game, but not enough time to play it.

I just watched the Gamespot video (lore/art discussion) and I noticed that everything the petition highlights as a problem is listed by Blizzard as an important bullet point as to why the game looks the way it does. There is no way they are going to change anything because of a petition, whether you get five-thousand or five million signatures.

I don't have any problem with the art and graphics; although, I do agree that the light radius should be used (although, not as tight as D2) for night time and inside areas, and I really dislike the inventory screen. That is not a Diablo inventory screen and I much prefer the previous game's inventory style.

Yeah, I was just over there a little bit ago and someone had posted almost 80 pages of spam, using the offensive word: ni**er. What exactly is the point? Blizzard should be perma-banning those people by IP address, cancelling all of their game accounts, etc. They just really need to bring the hammer down on that kind of idiocy. It's really ridiculous.

I'm pretty tired of the suppressed color palette. What with so many games adhering to that ugly brown style, I really have no interest in muting the color in this game. I don't want it to look like a Satruday cartoon, but I think Blizzard can achieve a balance between color, without being colorful, and "dark". I think a mix between the two styles shown in the pictures would be good.

I just went over to the Diablo 3 forums on Blizzard.Net, after searching for and finding my D2/LOD CDs and installing them and playing them again after many years (I forgot how fun this game was, hack/slash and treasure FTW)...anywho, I set up an account to check out their D3 forums and, my god, there are so many sophmoric trolls/spammers in that forum that it's pretty sad.

Have the Blizzard.Net forums always been that bad? Why doesn't Blizzard put a cap on that crap?

I'm so glad that I found this forum. It's so far beyond Blizzards forum it's not even in the same solar system. Keep up the great work, people! D3!

Also, in the character profiles the Barbarian is listed as "entry 25" and the Witch Doctor is listed as "entry 13". Any ideas as to why they aren't like 1 and 2?
