Trailers: Diablo III: Follower System

[Pikeperch]

For those who are interested, there is a page at the official site explaining the follower system, including a faq. It provides some answers to how they are different from the mercenaries in D2.

Two chicks, that's how I will roll. Demon Hunter + Enchantress. I think Freud and me need to have a long talk.

So is it just me or does Diablo III look really bad? I am talking about the atmosphere and graphics. It looks almost on par with friggin' Torchlight. I am just surprised they are using such low polygon models. It looks like WoW.

it has more color. Its the complaint everyone has had since they first showed gameplay/screenshots of the game 2-3 years ago.

yes it does look more cartoony and isn't just you.

Well, that's the downside of using a dated engine and such a long development time I suppose. Still looking forward to it though.

our choices for isometric dungeon crawlers are small so ill take it regardless. Plus Blizzard haven't made a single bad game since they became Blizzard, i have faith in them.

I dunno about that. WoW, Warcraft 3, and Starcraft 2 were all pretty mediocre in my opinion although I know I am in the minority there.

thats right the exceptions don't make the rule!

and you take that back about Starcraft2 you take that back! >.<

hehe waiting on the final balance for that game so we can finally get down to some series high level competition &#9829;

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I want to like Starcraft 2, I really do. Its just so hard because its soooo bad. I am an avid BW player and still play it today but Starcraft 2's heavy emphasis on macro and 1Aing across the map is rough. My friend jokes that its a Real Time Action Game, not strategy.

Spoiler: Off topic

thats a first, someone saying macro is bad XD

this is y i only like watching the multitasking monsters in the pro leagues like Whitera, Alicia, and MVP

i do agree there is too much 1a death balls, games end after 1 push to often and the fact ppl still don't use a lot of the units

compared to the recent game in the SPL between Bisu v Jaedong [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xRfT2PmXaY], SC2 is still lacking but heres hoping the other 2 expansions will fix that. SC w/o BW was also lacking.

i was always a UMS warrior and SC2 custom maps are just the best ^-^

Changes in times, changes in taste. they can't please all the old timers forever, its time they grow the brands with the new generation, if thats more action and colors so be it.

Hey, I know that's how it goes and I am fine with it. If tons of people love Starcraft 2, who am I complain? I am all about them trying new things. Better than just remaking Brood War 1.5.
