But yeah the only place this is gonna matter is on the character select screen. The only one I kinda like is the barb cause now he just looks like the thickest lad from the pub. Edit: Terrible snipe

Y'all mad about the barbarian should look up weightlifting videos of lasha talakhadze. He's the best at it and looks exactly what you should expect a really strong super heavy weight to look like.

That being said, this is a fantasy game and the barbs design is clearly trying to emulate minsc and conan and not real life powerlifters

IMO of course.

He's the best at it and looks exactly what you should expect a really strong super heavy weight to look like. The barbarian can wield two massive two handed weapons, one in each hand. Can leap dozens of feet in the air, and can turn into a whirlwind tornado. He is literally the pinnacle of strength and conditioning. I don't even really care that much, but now I'm embedded in this argument because this is a fantasy game and people are bringing in some real life example of why a barbarian shouldn't be loving jacked. The Diablo-pedia says "The Children of Bul-Kathos have developed a kinship with the land and have learned to harness the primal energies within nature to enhance their own substantial physical prowess." So they aren't normal humans that have no magic and just hit hard. They are super human! Also, he needs muscles because: 1) It was that way in the original. 2) It adheres to the Barbarian Hero archetype, which is clearly what they are going for.

The character silhouettes look a lot less distinct and the little details they threw in don't help much. They'll probably look cool in cutscenes or w/e but in the game the more cartoony original designs make a lot more sense to me in a game like diablo where you're zoomed way outMustached Demon posted:Y'all mad about the barbarian should look up weightlifting videos of lasha talakhadze.

Olympic level weightlifting is a wild ride of people with enormous legs.

Jimbot posted:Looks great, in my opinion. The only thing that I didn't care for were the animations. They're the same as the original's but mapped on a 3D model and they don't look as good. There's no weight or power behind them. But that's my only gripe. The Paladin cast animation stood out to me. He is casting blessed hammer in one of the reveals, and the OG animation literally goes like 25% farther. He holds his sword above his head so it's 0 degrees on the X axis. The new animation stops short, doesn't hold the sword as far above his head, and it looks weaker and less cool and less good. Why would you do this?!

The actual plot on paper is fine and I thought the idea of a feminine Diablo was kinda cool. But the way the story is told is some lame scooby doo bullshit. The greatest devils and demons in the world literally popping up and taunting you like children while you’re just trouncing everything thrown at you. Azmodan is particularly bad in this regard.

I liked Shen and the banter, that was about it. Back with OG Diablo III, being forced through the story multiple times, each with different characters made it suck more and more.

The end. Reaper: attack and dethrone death but it's way less cool than you think. Ignore everything else about it because it's bad and D4 probably shelves next to all the trash tier star wars expanded universe books.

Guys, going forward, D3 didn't exist. It didn't happen. I mean, gently caress the story, how sad is it the acts followed the exact same pattern as D2. Grass/regular town->desert->I dont even remember what a3 was in d3->oOoOoO~~its heaven instead of hell this time->snow. gently caress that poo poo.

POE you start killing things after you are exiled to Australia and you kill too many things and it causes a power vacuum that enables the gods to manifest again then you kill them too. Then you go into maps and anger the people in there and they blow up the place you just saved.

I have probably put uh... uncountable thousands of hours into D1 and 2 but have never finished a playthrough of 3 once. When it first came out I think I got to the fourth act before I stopped, then I tried again recently since so many people said they'd fixed the game and I didn't get out of the first act. It may be weird but part of it was the numbers. Getting a sword with 2-12 damage then upgrading to 3-18 feels like it matters. Going from 4568 damage to 4967 damage against a skeleton with 23,857 hit points doesn't matter. And there's no character customization, as far as I remember? Stats and items in D3 felt meaningless, and if stats and items don't matter in Diablo then uh... yeah.

D3 gets some major kudos for the Act 3 Azmodan cinematic. I thought that whole one was supremely clever and good. But considering how he acts in the following... act, it felt like the cinematic team didn't know what the actual dev team was doing and were working on different drafts of the script. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3PkwugiJwQ Cinematic in question.

There's basically a 0% chance of D4's story being good, though, because there's like nothing to work with after D3. If they retcon D3, it could be good. If they just ignore everything that happened in D3 and just focus on different characters, it could be good. But they won't, they'll make up some terrible excuse for shoehorning in Diablo again, because you can't have a diablo game without diablo.

I actually kind of liked Azmodan because for being the supposed strategic mastermind of Hell he had no clue on how to actually deal with the Nephilim. "So you stopped my attack but while you were busy on the walls I snuck in Ghom and -he's dead... Well then I'll just use my Siege Breaker to -aaand he's dead too. Uh... a little help here Cydaea? Shitshitshitshit!" So, uh, Diablo II Remastered... 40 dollars? Seriously?

looking at the D2:R thing and it's mindblowing that they didn't crib the expanded charm inventory for this thing. filling your entire inventory with charms and then having to tetris stuff around for eternity is terrible. thinking about getting in the car and driving down to irvine to give these folks a piece of my mind
