This is pretty stupid, though. Cain gets hit by that and yet in the beta you find him alive and in perfect health in the cathedral level 2. Not to mention that this makes the game seem like it's about rescuing uncle cain. I like blizz cinematics, but I think that this is cheesy with it's still frame concept art hype opening, and poorly thought out in the way it represents / opens the game to someone just starting it. Blizzard art direction has gone to total shit by the time they started D3.


Maybe that's not really Cain that you find...

And just to put things into perspective, this is how a real Diablo opening scene looks like:



D3 opening looks too cartony and has no atmosphere. But that's what you get from a game that has giant leaping green frogs as a skill.

I really want this game to be good, but I'm starting to hate it oh so much

Not a great intro as others have pointed out. Ah well, still going to play this. Still, it has a huge wall to climb if it wants to be good in my eyes after Skyrim.

I always laugh reading Blizzard interviews and they talk about ground breaking features like blacksmiths and stuff like that. Blizzard is a decade behind game design ideas but at least they make polished games. Hopefully Diablo 3 will be great, although I see myself playing through with one of each character and never touching it again.

yeah

definitely didn't like SC2's story direction and the mode it was delivered within the cinematics

don't really like the way the story is being told through the cinematics in D3 as well. I just hope Diablo 3 is a real good game though.

Graphics? I would play a 8-bit Diablo game, only if it retained all the atmoshpere and storyline of the game that we saw from Blizzard North.

Right now we have a dev team that doesn't know what to do with their rune system that was supposed to be the main aspect of the skill development, we have a day by day simplification of every single aspect of the game (just few days ago they concluded that tool tips give too much information that might confuse the players...), the Demon Hunter looks half way complete, not even that much, many skills look just silly, weapons shown so far are very lackluster and so on and so on...

The future of this thread:

90% of response:
"Great I like it, please release the game"

Some guys:
"I don't like it, D2 blabla, D1 blabla"

The following is a big succession of quote chains with people trying to show why they have better taste than the others and why liking and not liking it is a fact that everyone should follow.

An advice, don't lose your time.

Still:
D2 cinematics were great but also longer
D3 intro was great but shorter

We always like longer when it is good... like sex!
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

I swear, that herald has balls of steel. At least, once the gate shuts lol.

Also, Diablo 2's intro really is amazing, despite the low visual quality.

Blizzard doesnt make innovative revolutionary games, Blizzard makes extremely polished, well-thought out, very long-lasting games, the best in their genre.

And I like it. I dont like the direction most RPGs are heading, I like change but Skyrim is too console-ish and not that complex, also I dont have any motivation to ever play it again after I completed every quest I found.
Diablo on the other hand may not have big world and so many quests, but it has fun gameplay, fun item grinding, extremely good replayability, multiplayer, it is PC focused, kind of old-school-ish RPG with some new elements. Ideal game for me
Just another gold Protoss...

Yeah i'll have to agree with most of your points all though i wouldn't judge the game without playing it. The old diablos felt like horror games. I just feel like this isn't Diablo 3, but some other (probably awesome) game. I don't think the game is too simple though. Now you can put talents for your mercs and all of them are useful, D2 summon necro or hammer pala were simple as fuck. I don't think any class really used 6 skills, in D2 making a build was basically picking 5ish skills to max (and picking gear ofc).

For me I don't even mind the art direction. I don't think it has changed all that much.

But compare the dialouge of the new trailer to this. D2 is WAY better

So you then think we should all conform to your opinion, undermining what you actually said? Sounds good.

Blizzard made innovative games before. But they do not wish to cancel any more games than Ghost and Warcraft Adventures. Because other companies money is involved, originality has to suffer for pushing out a safe polished product that sales well. Unfortunately.
