Except that Diablo III looks nothing like Diablo games.
- WOW-style leveling WITHOUT any sort of availability to allocate stats. - actual crafting. WTF? - Classes that sound like they are out of comics. - Generic fantasy world
That sounds more like generic rpg than diablo game series.
Diablo was all about atmosphere, skewering dozens of enemies and gaining huge amounts of awesome loot. None of that crafting bs, none of that auto-leveling bs...
Ah the internet and all its self-entitled bullshit. When Blizz made SC2 a graphical upgrade (more or less) of SC1 without really reinventing the wheel, they got blasted for it.
Now they change things around for D3 and the rabid unwashed masses descend upon them like a ragtag mob of zombies.
Whiners gonna whine I guess. And just for the record I'm not a Diablo fanboy. In fact I think this entire dungeon crawling genre is "RPGs for stupid people". That goes for Torchlight, Titan Quest, Dungeon Siege, and all other assorted forms of garbage.
Why anyone would willingly choose to play these mindless clickfests over something like Witcher, Fallout, or anything made by Bioware is truly beyond me.
Now, if you've already played all the REAL rpgs out there and are just killing time until DA2 or something, well that makes sense I suppose.
But back to the topic at hand, seriously, stop whining about D3 like petulant children, it's obnoxious.
The looks of both games don't bother me as much as it seems D3 seems to bother you SaintViktor. Most of your post/topics about D3 you seem concerned that D3 looks cartoony, do you really feel Torchlight doesn't look cartoony?

Torchlight looks cartoony because it is Torchlight. I don't expect a Diablo game to have any resemblance to WoW whatsoever.
Honestly as of late these forums have become nothing less then a troll hub. Seriously I remember interesting topics being in these forums, now it seems to be:
PERSON A: This game is going to suck
PERSON B: No THAT game is going to suck
PERSON A: All games suck why do we bother playing
Well you get the idea..... probably way over done just to make my point. I have yet to see a forum post in the last few weeks that didnt end up with someone saying "this game sucks" or "this game is going to suck."
Not saying that I enjoy anything blizzard has pushed out in a while, but I can't nock it till I have tried it.
actually i enjoyed the sacred series way more then those 2
it has an 15 x 15 kilometers open world with scaling monsters.
a skill system that surprasses the dated skiltree,
mounted combat and crafting
I have to admit it also has its fare share of bugs
but the game gets a lot less bland when it comes to variety
Although I never finished part one, I have that game for the PC. Got part 2 for the 360, and unsure if cause it was on console, but part 2 wasnt very good IMO.
It does provide a lot of gaming time though.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.
If Torchlight comes out first I'll play it and then D3 after. If D3 comes out first I'll play it but I highly doubt I'll touch Torchlight 2 afterwards.
PS: Is the thread title supposed to be a joke or something?

By looking at many ingame gameplay vids of D3 I am sorry but I aint seeing World of Warcraft in them, looking at many of the ingame vids of Torchlight 2 it looks quite like World of Warcraft though slight more cartoony in a isometric view.
Could you explain what seems to be your issue about Diablo when YOU feel it's looking like WoW, cause I aint seeing it.
Ok... I still want Diablo 3 more than Torchlight 2. Any day. What is this personal rampage against Blizzard and Diablo 3 of late?
No rampage at all. It is just news I'm sharing like I always do. The other day I posted news on COD Black OPS peraps selling 18 mill. LOL do not read more into it than it really is. Some may not like my opinions on D3 but thats ok too!
I was thinking the exact same as elocke, probably due to some of your opinion and with your comparison between Diablo III and Epic Mickey. Your opinion influences which news you decide to share and which you deem irrelevant, so even if you are just sharing news, you are sharing your opinion.
But, keep posting, I enjoy reading even if I don't always agree. :-)

So you mean to say Torchlight doesn't look cartoony?

I'll probably play D3 and TL2 but what I'm really waiting for is this: http://www.grimdawn.com/index.php
