More on this in this thread, section 21 - 益 What I HATE about Diablo IV Gameplay) Characters (But the way they are implemented into the game is contrary to the design of a Dark Fantasy Horror world. Their aesthetics and animations are great. Horses look amazing and I have fantasizing about a Diablo game having horses (and elephants) since Diablo 2. … this is setting a good vibe in the environments. The snowy mountains, the temples, the ruins, the cities… absolutely beautiful! The environments look varied and inspired by real-world locations. I am really really enjoying, LOVING the aesthetics of the environments. The people who have worked hard on these, should get the appreciation that they deserve. Grab a drink, grab a snack, sit tight and in the words of Deckard Cain -īefore I get into the meat and bones of the issue, I want to start off by restating the many things I am enjoying about Diablo 4. How did the Devs, on one hand, set the Diablo vibe with some parts of the game, and completely ruin it with others? Why is it that the still images and the set pieces are so Diablo-like, and the combat so… Cartoony?!? The realism, the darkness, the grit, the horror, the aspects that make up a Dark Fantasy Horror world, just all breaks down. The Horror Vibe is there in these set pieces and screenshots.īut as soon as the video plays, and our Hero starts casting spells and starts fighitng, everything goes down the drain. The still shots and environment set pieces set the vibes of an isolated warrior or magician, wandering through dead, horrifying places. Now Diablo 4 looks great when they show the Hero just walking through these beautiful dark, gritty, realistic environments that look hostile and mysterious. They are not designing these things in line with the Dark Fantasy Horror game that Diablo should be. But some of the decisions the Devs are making with regards to the Combat, Cooldowns and Skill Effects are ruining it. I am really enjoying the art and other aspects of the game so far. This is what is happening with Diablo 4’s combat. You know when you are enjoying a part of the game, and then the Devs start making changes and adding things that ruin that part of the game.
