Diablo III is for real

My gripe is not so much of the "good graphics vs bad graphics"-type, but rather cartoony vs gritty. One of the reasons D1 almost made me pee my pants, was the dark, gritty, grainy and downright menacing graphics of the surroundings and the enemies.

Goatboys and fallen were menacing looking? The sluts weren't cartoony as they threw their red spikey balls at you? Honestly, the graphics of D1 weren't all that gritty and dark. At least I didn't think so. Maybe I just read too many horror books growing up or something. *shrugs* What made the game feel dark, gritty and menacing was the fact if you went too far around a corner you could get splatted instantly. Load up D1 and D2 both again and take a good hard non-nostalgic (which can be tricky) look at the graphics again. They really weren't earthshakingly good or caused a lot of horror themselves. They were good for the time, but not really any more or less menacing than other similar games.
