dual crossbows is not any sillier than a bow which shoots ten arrows in a spread pattern that freeze people solid for 2 seconds

 

its a little lamer though. oh well, no one is forcing you to use them, and I actually like the new class, hopefully they work in a javelin weapon...

dual wielding crossbows....

 

It's horribly lame, but it will probably be fun to play.

Dual-wielding mini-crossbows (such as those in Deus Ex) doesn't seem like a problem to me.

 

Why would it be difficult, if properly trained, to wield two of either of these?

Both are pistol crossbows.

New video at the Diablo YouTube channel:

The one game that could pull me away from NV if it was released next week. Which it isn't...just saying. I have more and more reservations about D3 - not that it won't be good, but that I personally won't like it/tastes have changed - but I will still be grabbing it up into my greedy little hands.

Haha

 

Must...resist...the...urge..to..post...a...facepalm...pic

jeez, what's happening to Blizzard? first SC2 and now this... this awful... I can't even describe it. cliche after cliche, looks not like an AAA-whatever-title, but an indie-game. I hope it's humongous and has, like, 20 chapters compared to D2's 5

D3 is a day 1 buy for me.

well, naturally. same here, considering how many hours I poured into D2... I don't mind if the game is essentially the same but bigger.

 

but these awful cinematic trailers, the spoken lines, obviously written by a nitwit, the WoW-like style... gah! just doesn't connect with me

New video at the Diablo YouTube channel:

 

I know it's silly to complain about realism in Diablo. But... dual-wielding automatic crossbows... wtf.

Wow, that was like a machine gun full of bad cliches to the face. Maybe I'm just older now, but it seems like the more cinematics we have in games, the more terrible they are.

 

Gameplay please, Blizzard, Diablo wasn't that cool, it was fun.

I remember the cinematics from earlier Diablo titles being some of the best around.

Yep. But they also had the virtue of being few in number, making you want more, and knowing when to stop and shut up. They didn't go on and on. Of course, I don't know what pre-release trailers for D2 were like...

Because you still need a free hand after every shot to reload?

 

More worrisome are other tendencies shown in the video.

It's very sad that even blizzard decided to forgo common sense and promote spiked armor.

And why was it necessary to drop helmets in favor of hoods?

At this rate chainmail bikini can't be far off.

It looks like one of those stupid B-class hollywood movies like Scorpion King.

Which btw. gave me more laughs than the most of spoof movies.

Never used one myself. Can't see it being difficult depending on the design.

the original game was epic! also, the game's cinematic reminds me of Myth 2

Yeah, the intro in Diablo 1 is one of my personal favourites in the cinematic department, it has some attitude I'd like to see more.

I remember Diablo being very gothic-themed. It's a shame this isn't nearly as present in Diablo 3.

Yeah. Diablo 1 had the best atmosphere. It's a shame they are going for the more flashy cartoony feel.

for some reason I was certain, Blizzard would make D3 exactly like D1, but in 3D and bigger. and they'd save the cartoony look for a Warcraft-themed action game.

 

but of course they had to spoil everything

I don't see how Diablo 3 looks anything like WoW. It really isn't anywhere near the same art style.

it is to me, go figure but I should mention, that I last played WoW in 2005

Some of the areas they showed early on had similar color schemes to WoW....that is, a more pastel palette or something. I don't think the chrs. look like WoW chrs. or anything. But there's something about it that definitely reminds me of WoW...not to mention Titan Quest. Eh...they all look alike these days.
