sold’
I’m sold because it looks like they practically brought back the Paladin
yeah OK, but when is the new WoW expansion coming?!?
Gamescom isn’t over yet and in case they don’t announce it there then there’s still Blizzcon.
You mean the class with 3-4 active skills and 20 passives? Well, oh… um, yay?!
No. Unless they did a 180 on the mechanics, I’m done with that title. I’ll keep up with the lore, but that’s it.
What exactly would you like to see changed son?
Love how they’re going with the Angel of Death vibe for Malthael. The opportunity was too good to pass up.
That cinematic trailer is spectacular. Some good you bet!
Unless they have less generic music and writing that isn’t cliched as fuck I’m not really interested.
Crusader does look cool though, his armor and stance reminds me a bit of the warrior from Diablo 1. That being said, the environments still have that one color-filtered, cartoony look.
Back to the customization systems before they decided to dumb it down for casual players and a mix of the current and previous hot-key systems for quick switching. That’s something that irked me the most - it really slowed down the flow of the game for me.
I understand it’s for the fucking market, but that title was a slap in the face to every d2 veteran.
Can’t disagree on those with ya. On top of that, changing skill, rune or passive cancels all stacks of Nephalem Valor, that’s just… stupid. Not to mention the Mouse 3 quickswap button promised in 2008 footage is nowhere to be seen in final version, oh well.
The Paladin in DII was easily adpatable, and it hall a full tree of active skills, not 3-4
Hahahahahahahaaha.
Meh.
Honestly, fuck Blizzard Irving. Blizzard North had it right, but that entire team disbanded in 2005, and they were the ones who made D2. You can tell these guys have no idea what they’re doing and butchered one of the finest gothic-medieval game series ever. It’s an absolute joke now, I mean for fucks sake, Azmodan is a master tactician for the armies of hell, and what does he do? Taunt the player every 20 paces with a contrived “MWAHAHAH! You may have foiled THAT plan, but you’ll never foil THIS NEXT plan!”
On top of that, they ruined the scary nature of Diablo himself by, once again, having him taunt you constantly. In Diablo 2, he spoke exactly one single line: “Not even death can save you from me” when you entered his sanctum. Pants-shitting, if you ask me.
But no, he just sends you to his “shadow realm” and tells you exactly how to get back out of it. I just hate the whole game and refuse to associate it with Diablos 1 and 2.
Fuck current blizzard.
I must agree. They turned serious and believable narrative into a fairy tale.
But not everything about Diablo 3 is like that, there are still dark and mature moments and nods to Diablo 1 like the Skeleton King and Lazarus and Marius cameos, among many others.
Azmodan indeed is disappointing, not only he is the easiest boss fight in the game, but as you said the script… sucks. Even your hero makes fun of him, so it’s a joke of a joke in a joke. Act III is essentially a much worse remake of Act V from Diablo 2, nothing triumphs that perfection and Baal was memorable, he had this cruel humor around him: “Marius…give me the stone, and all is forgiven” gotta love that cutscene.
But I think people hate the game more than it deserves, it’s not all crap, but the quality noticeably decreases as you progress. The Archives-like dungeons in Act II. are too long and there are too many of them, so it’s boring, other than that, it’s a good one. The highlights are Covetous Shen and Belial definitely. The butterfly/mole cultist chick is just meh. Zoltun Kulle was anticlimactic as well, but I like the dialogue and his voice.
Acts III and IV are definitely rushed, the latter even not half finished I dare to say.
Other than lame Azmodan, shemale corny and cheesy Diablo, Angels aren’t a win either. They couldn’t do better than to reuse Izual, dude already defeated in previous game and Imperius…he should have been a boss fight instead.
Meh, D3 was fun enough the first time you play it, then it’s some boring shit.
Bottom-line: Blizzard needs to stop making games around their cinematics.
Diablo III’s Diablo looked a shit ton better in the older trailer…
