Gameplay wise, D4 was WoW dark, not the defunct Blizzard North dark with lots of body horror, photorealistic approach and most importantly, a heavy emphasis on christianity ethos
Cinematic trailer was good, gameplay didn't look good.
Well, I think that the cinematic trailer was not THAT good.
It was mellow at best
A short analysis:
a cross. promising but it's too alien that it ca be also a mushroom. bleah
"they have our scent"
yeah..scent... take a bath and move downwind fuckers!
under a church, you have cubic kilometers of a cavern where you can hide all sort of wild shit. convenient and dumb
yes.. the character with the fuckin scottish accent or whatever.
this begins to be more tropey than explosive barrels in games
so the black dude has a belly wound, all that hydrochloric acid burning his insides and he recites some mantra in his delirium, and this smart cookie wants to embolden him by saying... watch this,
"All the gold we want is right there"
wow... it didn't strike me that the black dude is of the materialistic type
"I came here for knowledge!!"
"I know"
You knew??
Why the fuck wasting time then when monsters run towards you?
Kindergarten level writing
monster design ripped straight from Diablo 3.
most boring shit ever.
Look! a human ear! once it was a human.
The... horror...
I got to admit, I liked this character.
If it's a man or a woman, the jury is still debating.
so you impale your hand there, gallons of blood pour and are sucked by the contraption and the door opens. Warcraft vibes.
too bad there are no people left to enter because they all are dizzy from that massive blood loss.
Isn't it?
cutting a chain with an axe from one strike.
the chain that holds the weight of a massive door slab but flimsy enough when the plot needs to move forward in a dramatic treacherous way! wow... what a twist!
too close for comfort? The whispering in his year is like Biden sniffing a young girl:
"It's a shame he didn't make it"
"Oh well... cheer up!
Gold's split three ways instead of four..."
This is the most atrocious moment from the whole trailer... the dumb lazy humor in what wants to be a grim, horrific cinematic experience.
This is the moment where the popcorn munching chavs had a kick and a good time.
HA.. ha ha. The wits!
"Read this!"
For no reason whatsoever, he throws the injured dude to do his bidding.
Because smashing someone's head on stone is a sure way towards compliance and not a journey to a comatose state of the subject.
remember, all this shit is under a church
In the opinion of these devs, bigger is always better.
And this should say enough.
What comes after in the trailer is a trip to the D3 established imbecilic lore... "daughter of hatered" that once shagged an angel!, "creator of Sanctuary" because she wanted to fuck and love (not hate?) in peace undisturbed by the baddies of H&H.
"Inarius and Lilith joined forces and even came to fall in love; each pledged themself to the other and vowed to escape the Eternal Conflict. Eventually, like-minded followers gathered in support."
"Eventually, Lilith and Inarius mated, and created offspring. They were the first, but not the last, and soon, an entire race had taken form - the nephalem"
How can anyone view this "demon" as horrific and a threat when is more chill than a druggy peace loving hippie from the 60s?
It's like when playing Diablo 1 and reading those knowledge books about Diablo, you learn that he likes to catch bugs in his spare time and arrange them in his insectarium and he really loves milk with chocolate flakes.
Reading the lore, you see the retards at blizzard projected all the humane minutia and mundane traits to mythological creatures - demons and angels, thus developing a soap opera like no mortal has ever seen.
And as a fun fact, if you want to know from which movie the falling petals effect at the end of the trailer was inspired from,
