Earlier this week, Blizzard finally added the in-game model of the male Wizard, and nerd-rage resulted. Fans have been ripping up the forums and throwing adjectives like "wimpy," "effeminate," "transvestite," and have even compared his animation to a "belly dance."
What's got the fanboys so riled up? Does the game version differ radically from the concept art? This article compares the artwork and takes a look at the other character models to point out that their poses aren't really so different from the male Wizard's.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
Of for... Lol is all I can say.
Some of the anti wizard comments are in the "methinks he doth protest too much" area. If you're so offended that a video game character isn't exactly covered in stubble and crushing beer cans with his forehead, you might have some issues of your own?
I haven't seen such a great title as "Gay Wizard Controversy" in a long, long time =)
lol, here we go again.
Seriously...this is ridiculous. Honestly, I think the D3 concept art team was going for that magicians are weak in body, but strong in mind kind of look.
