Diablo III is for real

[Cryptic]

Well, I think the game is going to be great. A truly dark and gothic Diablo game hasn’t been released in over a decade; the series graduated to a wider-reaching, multi-environment horror panorama in DII. For me, the “dark” atmosphere of Diablo wasn’t graphical at all. It was visceral, but psychological … a combination of sound design, desolate environments away from civilization, animations and the sheer number of enemies.

Stumbling into Andariel’s lair for the first time with headphones on was still pretty chilling IMO. But familiarity leads to indifference; doing Baal or CD cathedral runs for the umpteenth time drains away any lurking sense of dread. After awhile, the horror is much more about the lore than it is about the graphics. And even then it’s a pretty mild sensation. Perhaps I’m jaded, but the Butcher can only take your virginity once.
:lol:

Give me a pretty, fast-running game with a very busy screen and lots of tactical options; my mind will fill in the details.
