Time Capsule from PoE Closed Beta -- a classic PoE vs D3 thread circa 2012

Again: one game you can play to death and back because currently it's all released. The other you get just a little, little, little bit.

Worst discussion thread ever. You know someone's a fanboy when he moves away from a game he hasn't played a decent chunk of.

Actually, you know someone's a fanboy when he puts $1000 towards the game. Come on, dude. Easy target. You could even PM me to have a real rant about what an AWFUL HUMAN BEING I am about it.

Or does it stop being fanboy behaviour when you actually show some sort of meaningful contribution to that which a fanboy would merely rant, rave and REFUSE TO BELIEVE ANYTHING ELSE COULD BE TRUE?

It's not that I think you're illiterate, Sketchbag, I just think you couldn't be bothered really reading much of what you see.

At least illiterate people have an excuse.

Post this sentiment publicly and see how long it lasts here.
I actually really like the art direction of Diablo 3, maniac. It's beautiful. Glossy. Clean. Sharp.

It's extremely well done and totally fitting the tone of the game, which has long left its horror-genre roots behind.

That money could feed some of the poor, if you have such money to spare give it to those in need the most, homeless, hungry the sick...
I don't like the art direction for Diablo 3, because to me it's not Diablo.

My issue is that labels matter, and if we're going to consider Diablo as a cohesive world campaign, D3 doesn't fit.

That's not to say the D3 art is bad... it's far from bad, and would be great called anything else, except Diablo.

To me these distinctions matter, because when you create a campaign world it's important to remain consistent. I feel that they failed in this and that they should have made this game, but done so as a rebranded company off-shoot and not as Blizzard presents Diablo 3.

...I am above sarcasm in most cases. It's a lesser mode for people with a far weaker grasp of the language than I.

There's also a lot of gore in D3. A lot more than expected. A real sense of depth, too. Things crawl out of the bowels of the earth, from under bridges. It's very immersive.

As is more than often the case, zeto has spun things in a way that I have felt but failed to articulate.

The only difference is, after WoW, I never expected Diablo to maintain its original ambience. Uelman left, Metzen stopped designing, and...well, you're catering to people who find PoE's graphics 'dull' or 'gray' when what they actually are is 'understated' and 'muted' AT first. Act 2 is anything but dull or grey. Point being, anyone who finds PoE dull or washed out graphically is NOT going to find D3's palette to be particularly unpalatable.

...I really wish those old videos of PoE could be taken off youtube and replaced with newer ones.

So could the money you pay for your internet connection, whatever you paid for your computer and I presume you own more clothes than you absolutely need.

Before you go riding the piety horse, check it hasn't got blinged-out tack.

And as I told someone else in private message, you have no idea what I might do with the rest of my money. What charities I might contribute to, or how I help friends who may need such a hand. Family.

People who question my choice are making me think that I'm dealing with increasingly stupid folk. What I did, whether you want to see it this way or not, was charitable. Logically, that would make me predisposed to charity, if only because if you have a grand to throw at game company, you'd feel pretty damn shitty if you didn't use at least close to that amount on the aforementioned 'good' things like feeding the poor, disaster relief, etc etc.

Or did you really think I gave *money I actually need* to a gaming company for a shiny bird and bragging rights in creating a unique?

Ridiculous.







I actually every payment give 80% of what I get and live on basics, I live by life helping those in need I follow the example of Christ because it is just whom I am, perhaps mankind must wake up you never wonder why it says "It is harder for a rich man to enter Heaven than it is for a camel to go through eye of a needle".

What I preach I do hence if I say to you it could be better used I am talking from experience.
