diese comic grafik gefällt mir überhaupt nicht.
eine düstere der realität angepasste spieleumgebung wäre eine bessere entscheidung gewesen.
auch das kämpfen/kampfsystem hat nicht mehr viel von seinen vorgänger.
irgendwie ist es zu langatmig. ein richtiges hack and slash spiel wäre auch hier besser gewesen.
so weit ich es bis jetzt gesehen habe, hat es nicht mehr viel von seinem vorgänger.
schade eigentlich.(ausser die tolle musik)
man hätte es vielleicht mehr im style von "Path of Exile" machen sollen.

Fortunately I can read German (because the English translation is downright hilarious), unfortunately I can't really speak or write it anymore.

I've never played Diablo 3 (I thought Diablo 1 sucked so I never bothered with the rest), but graphicswise it also reminds of Torchlight, which if I'm not mistaken is older than Diablo 3, so one could argue that Diablo 3 ripped of its graphical style from Torchlight. Yeah, I didn't think so either, nor do I think D:OS borrowed its art style from any game in particular.

Personally I think games like Torchlight are only good for occasional short play sessions as button mashing to kill wave after wave of enemies gets old rather quickly. I vastly prefer fewer longer better encounters over this*.
The slower an encounter progresses (or *can* progress, pause & play anyone?) the more time players have to respond to changing situations and the more tactically challenging those encounters can be.

I would even dare go as far a state that real time is the antithesis of tactics, the faster things move the less tactics can and will be involved as you become more and more dependant on reflexes (twitch based gameplay)

*note that I do enjoy Torchlight, but I don't exactly see myself playing a 6 hour session of it..

* as usual this is imho (unless stated otherwise); feel free to disagree, ignore or try to change my mind. Agreeing with me is ofc also allowed, but makes for much worse flamewarsarguments.
