Hardly.

Damage is not a question here. He'd kill them with one hit whether it's rocks or blades. Rocks are AoE.

You never killed andariel with a naked barb? My original barb had like 18 in axe mastery and an ordinary axe, and that's it... he killed andariel, duriel, mephisto...

In all fairness, those are some pretty old renderings done in some pretty old technology. Were that done with a modern rendering program, I doubt they'd look so... uhh... meaty?

Besides, we are supposed to be talking about "some PC game"; this thread and forum are about Diablo III!


But to do what assassins do, they would absolutely have to be in great physical shape. Ever met a martial arts expert with giant funbags and meaty arms/legs? Let's be honest.

I think it's a little unncessary, but if they are minor and I wouldn't notice unless I looked for it, then sure. I like it when game creators are exact with details, just as long as I don't have to look at a 18 inch shlong slapping my shield or something.

Well, I certainly don't think so. In that video, humans looked very small.

Quote from "Equinox" »

He only stomps as a last hit. not as a normal attack.

If it's hard to do in a PC game bring back the average monsters please.

He fought them like they were level with him. If you want to kill a couple ants, you do not take out a sword and slash at them, do you? And even if you do, your movements are different than from those you'd have if you fought another human. You makre more stomping hits, more fatal ones. The beast in the game just fights as though he's fighting another huge beast...

Were assassins in D2 considered ugly/uncool? Because they weren't especially well-endowed, but they were definitely buff/tone and had fantastic physiques.

I imagine playing as a plumb sorceress, lol.Only by fools.

Quote from "Equinox" »

Well, I'll tell you it means "raven" in Latin and is the name of the main character in Heretic II.

I don't care what Blizzard called him. An engine is a thingy that makes vehicles run. Or are you telling me that thing is a robot?

I don't think he had any.

As far as I am concerned, if I take a barb with no skills and just one axe he can theoretically finish off that whole monster. That's how games like Diablo work... and that's dumb.

If he really made it up in size he'd stomp on people and throw chunks of earth at them... not fought them like they were his size.

Quote from "Equinox" »

1. A beast is not a siege engine.
2. A warrior with an axe and plate armor is not going to beat a beast that size no matter what he does.
3. Silly? Yes. Silly, because he: moves slow, turns slow, attacks slow and weak, and dies from getting hurt in the foot.

Women want equality. Yet when a guy hits a girl everyone goes "omfg you hit a girl!?" Neah. What women want is to be paid equally and be able to vote equally. Just look in the world of boxing, male boxers are alot stronger than female boxers. For example there isnt a woman version of mike-tyson. Basketball, there isnt a female michael jordan.

But in a game, Im sure they want equal stats ha.

Anyway, Horny Goatman, i think that picture is too cute and soft. its too anime-ish. We need a darker kinda theme, more mature, more revealing :).

Hi, hello there, take a seat…what…you can’t sit because a goblin impaled you in the you-know-where, well that’s awkward! Well anyway let’s get started with this beginners guide for rpg’s. So you’re new to this and you would like some tips on how to deal in the fantastical world of rpg’s? Alright no problem, I’ve got some for you. Here are 5 tips for the unexperienced:

Tip 1:
You’ll die. Though this may sound rather final, there’s no need to be optimistic thinking you won’t die, because you will, a lot, and often quite unexpected. This is one of the fundamental designs of an rpg, gaining experience, which includes the experience of death! And then after you’ve magically come to life again trough one means or the other…you’ll die again. Get over it, if you want to play an rpg, you have to be ready for this, else there’s a little game called “happy happy sunny island 3” or something.

Tip 2:
Stack up on potions! “But we have floating orb thingies that give us hp now, so no need to stack up pot…” WRONG! This doesn’t mean you don’t have to bring any potions with you, because you can bet your ass that those floating orb thingies will be there in abundance when you’re at 90% hp, but when you’re down to 20%, there will be 1 floating orb thingy, and most likely, that will be in a place that it is either impossible to reach, or in a fire, which makes you lose 10% because you’re standing in a fire with nothing on but a “Light armour of Inflammable Goods”…way to go. And what about when you’re down on health and there are no mobs around, huh, did you ever think about that?...off course you didn’t, that’s why I’m here!

Tip 3:
BRING ANTIDOTE! This is a very important potion, that’s in the game for a reason, so use it. The whole idea of being poisoned is dying in a slow and painful way, most of the times without people knowing it. So _always_ bring antidote potions. “But I need the inventory space because I can’t…” WRONG AGAIN! *slaps*. How are you going to use those phat lewtz when you’re dead!...that’s right you won’t you …*sigh*…anyway let’s carry on.

Tip 4:
Armour upgrades. Yay, you’ve found a huge upgrade for your chestpiece, and then the most annoying thing will happen…another item drops with similair stats, but slight differences! Don’t go crying in the general chat about what you should choose, don’t even go whisper your friends (if you have any) for advice, just make up your damn mind and choose one; chances are, you’ll find a better one in 30 minutes anyway, so it makes you look stupid and dumb, do you want that?...that’s what I thought.

Tip 5:
Stat points. Okay, so this one might be tricky, because it requires you to do some reading. You know how when you hover over a certain stat (like VIT, STA, STR, WHTVR) it shows a little textbox that tells you what it does…yeah?...READ THAT! Once you’ll understand what your character is about, and what his strong points are, you’ll know what stats to fill out, and this will also help you with nr. 4, choosing your items. And remember, if you’re not sure…don’t spend them. “Like omg what are you saying, you’re saying I should keep stat points undefined for a while?” yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying, just play with your character and then you’ll feel what he needs. If it’s taking you 8 slashes with your axe to kill one enemy, you might want to put some points in your STR stat…that is…if that’s the stat that enhances that for your class, hence the “hard part” of stat dividing.

Well, if after all these tips you still can’t manage your way trough the game on your own, there’s one last, but final tip which will come in handy…read the manual. If you haven’t read the manual during the installation, that means you are a slow reader…no it doesn’t mean you’ve got a fast computer, because you know, and everyone else knows, that you don’t…because if you had such an awesome rig, you wouldn’t suck THAT much, and you’d be reading the booklet anyway. So get out there and kill some monsters!

It was pretty much a joke, I won't and cant really judge the gameplay until I actually play it! On the exterior some of the changes do seem to be heading in the oversimplified "console kiddy" type direction, but I think that Blizzard can probably be trusted to pull off good gameplay so I can but wait and see!
