Whats Wrong With Diablo 3’s Graphics?
Lately, I have heard many gamers complaining about Diablo 3’s graphics. No matter how hard I try, I just dont see why the hell everyone hates them so much.
I hear people saying “They aren’t as dark as before” and “They’re just trying to copy World of Warcraft.” I just dont see it that way. Sure, some of the areas are very light, maybe thats because it’s during the day? Usually it’s pretty light out in the afternoon. Diablo 3 still has plenty of dark dungeons and other places. I also doubt that they are trying to copy WoW. Blizzard is just trying out some new scenery and seeing how it all works out.
The thing that surprised me is the petition sent out earlier this year. It basically stated that Blizzard should change the graphics of Diablo 3, make them darker like the first 2 games. The petition ended up getting over 50,000 signatures.
Of course, Blizzard still refused to change the graphics of the game. When you think about it 50,000 people really isn’t that much compared to the whole gaming community. I would like to know if the people who signed the petition actually expected it to change Blizzards mind. You honestly expect them to go back and change the graphics that they have already created? Its just stupid and arrogant, if you ask me. Lets see you guys go out and make a game, its not easy. The last thing you would want to do is go back and change all the graphics you made. Its like the idiots that want an 8th Harry Potter book. J.K Rowling isn’t going to go out and make an entire book because a few people want her too, and the same goes for Blizzard with re-making Diablo III’s graphics.
I think that a lot of gamers are forgetting what really matters in a game: The gameplay. Whether or not the graphics are good or absolutely horrible, it all comes down to how well the game plays out. Diablo 3 offers more than enough of that; Giving us new classes, new weapons and armor, and a bigger world, for starters.
All I’m saying is that graphics are only a fraction of a game. Blizzard is trying out something new, isn’t that what gamers want? The graphics of the game are still beautiful, just because its lighter doesn’t mean that they suck. All I’m trying to say is forget about the graphics guys, after all, it’s the gameplay that counts.
