Trailers: Diablo 3: Demon Hunter

[John Funk]

People complaining about the dialogue have clearly never played a Blizzard game before. Their dialogue is the very definition of Narm Charm. It's ALWAYS been like that.

I mean, have you guys played WC2? "The orcs... have DRAGONS...!!!!"

I might argue that, as an art-form, gaming has evolved a lot since 1998. Components of Blizzard games, like the writing, seem to have not kept up with the times.

Unfortunately, I'm beginning to sour on Blizzard as they don't seem to have evolved with us. Starcraft 2 was little more than a reboot of the 1998 version, Diablo 3 looks equally as "safe". Not that there's anything wrong with that. Lots of people like to buy these games.

But I'd rather stick with the more progressive fare that Valve and Bioware are putting out.

I disagree entirely, and let's just leave it at that.

I need to change my pants before I go out and preorder it.

 

[PrototypeC]

Demon Hunter? In a game that revolves around killing the Demonic? If it turns out to be overpowered, I will laugh so hard.

 

[Latinidiot]

AAAAAGGGHH!

THEY MADE A WAYLANDER CLASS!

I MUST HAVE THIS GAME.

 

[MadGodXero]

Looks like we can play with Sylvanas. Cool.

Just what I was thinking XD

 

[Doug]

You know, I never played the original Diablo's, but I'm looking forward to this now and after trying out the gameplay style in Torchlight.

 

[Genixma]

That is just awesome. COME ON BLIZZ RELEASE IT ALREADY!

 

[Canid117]

Looks very nice indeed.
But how do those crossbows reload? :O

Magic, ofcourse!

OT: The cinematic part looked kinda silly (which I loved) and the class seems good enough.

Just a bit sad that we won't be seeing any paladins. Or alteast so it seems.

Blizzard said the Barbarian would be the only returning class. Didn't everyone from the last game go insane except the Barbarian?

 

[sunpop]

Wait this is the rogue with some upgrades..Needs more druid.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

I can't wait for Diablo III...I just kinda feel bad I never played Diablo I and never beat Diablo II. But meh, fun is fun

OT: I like this class. Anyone know if you can be either guy or girl for these classes?

 

[Kurokami]

Wow looks good i hope its for the pc then i would buy it.



OTfirst)

Have you not heard of Diablo or something?

 

[Red Albatross]

I feel like I've grown out of Blizzard, because that entire trailer just made me cringe.

 

[fundayz]

Wow what a disappointment.... a demon hunter could have been so much cooler than that Asian-MMO-looking class.

 

[Darkauthor81]

So like the amazon and assassin crossed, then put into the body of Sylvanas?

Pretty much what I was thinking. One minor niggle, though... what's with the high heels? Not exactly practical. At least the rest of her armor makes sense, in a "provides a balance of protection and freedom of movement" manner rather than "let's see how little of her we can cover in platemail and nothing else for the rest" like you see in a lot of other female armor designs.

Thank you! I am so sick of women fighters with fan service armor that just makes them look ludicrous.

 

[Hungry Donner]

I normally play ranged characters in these games and crossbows are certainly my aesthetic weapon of choice but to be honest I thought she looked pretty ridiculous. It was nice to see her fully covered but dual wielding collapsible mini-crossbows? Shotgun crossbows? Bola firing crossbows?

I was really looking forward to this character, first since it was obviously going to be the ranged specialist and second because the other four classes didn't do much for me. At this point I'm not sure I'm going to pick Diablo 3 up; hopefully something will catch my eye later on.

 

[John the Gamer]

At least she's smart and wearing full-body armour. Not any of that jrpg stuff were half your body is uncovered and still somehow prestine and undamaged after many battles etc. Kinda like the game already.

Thing is, the old Warcraft Games didn't take themselves so damn seriously. Unit reactions to orders were Oneliner Overkill, but that just matched the games' cartoonish style. But in Diablo it's just bad writing cause all the humor fled the scene when the first art designer combined the word "hell" with "dark and gritty setting". "Narm" may qualify, but I think the "charm"'s gone missing.

 

[Muggizz]

Stoped looking becuse of the extremly gay cheasyness. Really hoped blizzard would put more effort into thier trailers.
