Trailers: Diablo 3: Demon Hunter
- Thread starter Team Hollywood

This was really just... cheesy and stupid. Am I supposed to be taking this seriously? It's like it was trying to hard. When she drew two crossbows it was just absolutely laughable that it delivers it with such deadpan seriousness as if expecting I'm going to find it "awesome" and "epic" or any other words a 13 year old watching an exploitation type anime might use.
Hrmph. Diablo goes from terrible writing and acting*, to hittings its stride in Diablo 2 and its expansion, right back down again. No sway, Blizzad, no sway.
*"I SENSE A SOUL IN SEARCH OF ANSWERS." Gets me every time.

Special skills probably use MP, so those crossbows of hers fuction like wizards staffs or wands.
A whole lot of wands put togehter to a weapon.

yes it looked awesome,
but the was 90% pre-rendered video so yeah, it's gonna look good, since blizzard, if nothing else kicks ass at cut scenes.
if nothing else it'll gimme a class to play should i wanna get involved, i have Vindictus and it is likely to kill any interest in diablo 3 as of next log in

i disagree with about everything you said but as far as it looking boring, i know what you mean. im not saying this game looks boring in the least (and you cant really compare a first person shooter to a top down action rpg), but i remember after demon's souls i was looking at my collection of unplayed games, and comparatively, they all just seemed tame and boring and i had a hard time motivating myself to play any of them...so i didnt, and just replayed demon's soulsNeevar said:I really am looking forward to play D3, but to be honest, after 5 hours straight of playing fallout 3, this looks boring
Blizzard haves this silly thing to make heroes waaaay to "hero-ish". "neow, as long as i'm here, bla gla"...it's silly sometimes.
Bottom line, nice class (revamped assassin, in an awsome way) but childish, boring as hell trailer.
also,this ^^. this trailer looks like a really bad, low budget vampire-hunting movie. It can not compare with most of warcraft's trailers. Like when Grom Hellscream dies for example.Hargrimm said:
I foresee this character making allusions about "Reapers", complete with air quotes.Cmwissy said:
She seems to be a class that work better when playing with more players, since she don't seem to be good at melee combat.
Definitely not.Cmwissy said:
On topic: Looks quite badass. I hope the male Demon Hunter retains this lady's badassery and potent mix of sexy and cool.
I don't care how cheesy and cartoonish that looked. I'm buying Diablo 3 when it comes out, because I want more Diablo.
I'm also wondering why people are getting stuck on little things like "how does she reload" and "where did those crossbows come from", when a single arrow is clearly shown splitting into half a dozen identical arrows upon firing. It's magic, so get over it. The game play looked pretty good, although I was wondering why all the enemies who got close up to the character simply stood around waiting to be shot. I want to see some attack animation from both sides!

I wonder how much screaming the designers had to go through before they settled on repeating crossbows and not straight-up pistols. I can just imagine some sort of bullshit-powered semi-automatic flintlock. What would be more awesome and slightly less cliched would be to just give her a gigantic battleaxe. Or, I don't know, blades attached to her arms or something. John Woo doesn't need to be invading my dark fantasy, thank you very much.
I hope the male Demon Hunter retains this lady's high heels...latenightapplepie said:
In all seriousness, who cares about the writing quality of the trailer? More to the point, who cares about the quality of writing in Diablo, in general? Have you played another Diablo game? All of them have extremely cheesy, cliché dialog. D2 was slightly better than D1, but I wasn't expecting improvement in D3.
Also, it's a trailer, so it could be that their theatrical narrative is far worse than their in-game dialog. It'd be nice for the words to your game to be written in a believable manner, but I don't think it every really detracted from the other two games.
Once you get through the game, do you even listen/read anymore? I doubt it, you just bust through the hordes and continue kicking ass.
I don't think it's that bad.ilion said:
Finally, my hope is that the music is on par with the other games, especially D1. The thing that always immersed me was the music and its matching the rounds.
Back to the topic, this looks like a decent character, but I was never a huge fan of the assassin, but amazon was all right. I was always more of a run-away-from-the-fight necro, sorceress, or druid.
