+Johan Dale I know this is an old post, but I still wanted to respond. It does sound a little cheesy, but considering Tyrael is the archangel of justice, it makes sense.
I bought Diablo 3 because I liked Diablo 2, but when I heard the necromancer wouldn't return I lost interest so I never touched it. A few months down the line I decided to install SC: Brood War to my new computer, only to find out I couldn't access my blizzard account. Going into my email, a quick keyword search brought up a bunch of letters from Blizzard saying someone kept getting my password wrong. The final email was one confirming that someone had changed the email associated with the account. I immediately went to Blizzard support and got someone in a chat program with me. I managed to prove that my account had been hijacked and got it back. When I logged on, I saw that I was now banned from downloading or playing diablo 3, and I had never touched it. At all. I got into contact with someone again and managed to prove that it had been locked while I had been hacked. To my glee, they restored it and I booted up Diablo 3 for the first time. And that's the story of how with zero effort on my part I logged on to find all characters maxed out with epic gear.
If you're an angelic being and you find yourself in an argument with the physical embodiment of justice, it's maybe time to reevaluate your world view. That said, I'm glad Imperius never became a boss.
I think he represents true justice...Justice that wrongly protects the "innocent" is not real justice meaning that, if a mafia boss is spared by earthly justice, Tyrael would not be of the same advice.....his point actually stands, since he accuses his brothers/sister of murder of the entire human kind by inaction. That's a crime even in the real world so I guess it's kind of what they were aiming for
lmfao!!!!!!!! holy shit man, in the past year i can honestly say i havnt laughed at vids or comments, very fuckin rare can i actually lol, this one got me
Actually, I think you are mistaking it. A common misconception with quite a number of other thing too. He is the leader of the angels but "leader" does not mean "best". He doesn't have to be the best at fighting or the wisest or the bravest. However, he must be able to take advantage of each of his angels' strengths and weaknesses to lead them to victory. Also, his title aflix is "valor" which can be loosely interpreted as he won't back down from a fight against even the most dangerous enemies. So his "strength" is probably in will power.
From what I gather, as she was the diablo daughter, she had a fragment of his essence. That's how he survived the shattering of his soulstone in D2. That was a plan all along :D
In D2 you destroyed soulstones in Hells Forge because that's the only place where the essence inside is also destroyed. I think that Tyrael also mentions that "Whatever is destroyed on Hell Anvil is lost forever". So I think that basically Diablo, as the most foreseeing of the three, had a backup plan - to have part of his essence separately, as his offspring. That's why he never really died. But that's just my interpretation, I could be wrong.
When I die... heaven should definitely let me in! I've killed diablo countless times since D1! I'd say... I've done my part banishing evil in one lifetime...
I have fought with this "Eternal Conflict" since D1 as well nearly 20 years ago and have killed Diablo more times than I can count and it just seems like what is the point? He just keeps getting resurrected..
Keely Palmer Really! I always thought live action was more expensive to make, considering you'd be paying for sets, props, make up, cameras, costumes, traveling to locations, actors, stunt doubles, etc. whereas CGI it'd be just voice actors, computers, artists, audio etc. Then again, I suppose it depends on how much the equipment is and how big everyone's paycheck is supposed to be.
to produce a whole movie with this animation quality is far more expensive than a live action one. And the general public don´t like animation very much.
"I will defeat you, Imperius!" "No, it is I who will defeat YOU!" Look, I can write just like the staff at Blizzard. "Arg, I shall not be defeated! I will be doing the defeating!"
I really enjoyed this game, even though many did not. I appreciated the symbolism in the story line; only humanity can save itself, heavenly beings need not interfere. Something we all need to realize.
Yeah, the gear and character abilities advanced faster than the monster difficulty. One of the bigger game patches gave you a chance to change the difficulty, which I thought was a nice touch. Made it a little more fun.
16:57... Diablo's like "don't mind me... just taking a casual stroll into the heart of Heaven..." :D I love this game, and I'm so glad R.O.S released today (hence why I am re-watching all of these cinematics)
I would have loved it more if it was single player and more story driven. The premise of the story is honestly great. I think it could have been the best game of all time if they hadn't turned it into the usual grindy repetitive RNG-loot multiplayer bs. I played D3 for a while. Almost a year. But it just becomes too boring. I've come back to it several times over the years. Yet it never captured me for long. It's just the same levels over and over. Heck you don't even get to play the story anymore you play greater rifts which is even more bland and boring. Just to see how much hp you can give a zombie and still beat it in time. The foundation was definitely there for something greater. More open world. More RPG. Longer story. Less multiplayer.
D3, WoW. I love Blizzards cinematics! And I enjoy playing their games! WoW is great, D3 is great. But Warcraft 3, boy, the memories! That is and will always be my favorite Blizzard game :)
Well, there's nothing new you can do with an MMO because then you'd have to worry about the main source being changed or not... I'm sure they don't mean to repeat the Diablo games but they can't really get any farther than that, you know?
No. No it's not. It's my favorite game of all time, and crazy fools like you are not going to EVER convince me otherwise. The only thing that has any chance to do that is Fallout 4.
I agree that Oblivion's story and world are better than Skyrim's, but I still favor Skyrim much more. Although... if Oblivion had Skyrim's graphics and gameplay, I'd like Oblivion more.
I'm glad that this is here. I played Diablo I & II ancient years ago. Now that I am married and have a kid, no time for Diablo III. But at least I can watch what's going on and understand this. Thanks!!!
hes not dead, he opened the gates to pandemonium for for the nephalem, malathiel didnt want to kill the angels, only demon. untill about half way though your fight with him and he decides to eat the fucking soul stone, then he suddenly became Andarial/Durial/Mephisto/Diablo/Baal/Azmodan and Belieal at the same time.....like...... cmon......sure malthiel you want to get rid of demons you say? but then you decide fuck it ill become 7 demons in one, and better yet how about the most filthy demons to ever exsist..... Heee koo koo son thats all i know. (but no he didnt kill imperious, hes immortal if he tried to kill him, he would respawn in heaven super weak in need of rest, thats about it, all the angels that die in the eternal conflict just come right back in heaven again just to be sent off to fight once more. forever, in an eternal conflict
So I guess the humans in Diablo's world must be made of substance stronger than steel. How else would they explain Tyrael changing to a mortal and falling down like a meteor, but yet managed to survive the thousands of megaton strong impact? Better still, the meteor hit frail old fart Cain, and yet he survived, just to be sexually harassed by the skeleton king? Great writing Blizz, or should I say, Chris Metzen.
Yea it's a video nothing makes sense. For god sakes Imperius tries to pick up his giant knife on the sharp end and Tyrael is just like "no dude look the stick end. "
BeerBottleFighter Well the biggest tested nuke, the tsar bomb, was only 50 megatons, so thousands of megatons would destroy a whole lot more then just a village.
I honestly don't understand why people say this is a shit game. I think it's amazing, especially compared to other games that don't have very good graphics or a good plot. Granted, I didn't play Diablo 1, as it came out a few months before I was even born, and I haven't played Diablo 2 since I was about 10, when me and my father would play it. I'd love to play Diablo 2 with the LoD expansion again, but I don't have a computer good enough to play on it. Then again, I also played the entire D3 game and the RoS expansion with my two best friends. So even the repetitive dungeons that would sometimes take well over an hour to clear were fun. There's also probably the nostalgia value of the game for me, as one of my two best friends has since passed away, but I'm still able to play the game with her via the character she had..
Tiana Scott if you would've played Diablo 2 instead of watching (like my father let me do, i was bout' 7 or 8) you should've understand what every1 says on the internet, that d3 is shit, mainly cuz its to happy, in a disney way, they fucked the skill tree system and they were not innovative enough for example the runes that you could spell rune words with in d2 nothing like that was in the d3
The best part is: "You cannot judge me. I am justice itself! We were meant for more than this! To protect the innocent! But if our precious laws bind you all to inaction ... then I will no longer stand as your brother." "You...chose...to..be one of us?!?" Man I RLY love that part
Did you know: The barbarian you play as in D3 is actually the same guy as the one from D2? It's never shown in game, as the devs realized it would put far too much story emphasis on a single character, though it's still canonical. That badass warrior of the north fought and killed the prime evils twice in his lifetime, watched the shattering of his homeland, and the death of a close friend. Pour one out for Deckard Cain boys, you know the barbarian did.
11:20 here i believe that azmodan is talking to Diablo rather than leah. he says, "our brethren" he may be referring to Diablo betraying his brothers to become the prime evil
I think its cool how they mixed illustration "cartoon" animation and cgi into the game. In case people think the first 2min is, keep on watching, its amazing what blizzard can do with their rendering cinematics.
Can a diablo nerd explain to me something, when diablo died at the end, is he completely dead or is he just temporarily dead and will come back in the future? I saw the cartoon he was vanquished before and he returned for diablo 3.
You simply can't destroy a prime evil, no matter what you do. Demons are spawned from the Black Abyss, and that's where they go when they die. You can actually escape the Black Abyss, and respawn. And even if you do manage to kill an evil permanently, another one with the same goal and purpose will come back, because its the natural order and it must be preserved. If you'd kill the Lord of terror for real, a second one will appear from it.
Fishbeaverduck So, you are telling me that an entity with the name Diablo 3 over it´s head didn´t come to my house , beat me up, and steal my money? No shit sherlock!
yes, the boss fights. i always feared the dark lords in D2, because they lived up to their names, especially Diablo with his "death-ray". you had to run from them, come up with a strategy and if you didn't pay attention for a second, you would be dead. in D3, all i need to do at a bossfight is press the left mouse button, and hold it. my life regen, and my huge life pool plus enormous damage does the rest. i fear the random "yellow" mobs more, then any of the bosses in D3. a yellow mob on Hell is 500 times harder then Diablo/Prime Evil on Nightmare. i mean, seriously ? o.O
not to forget that D3 boss fights are all in a really small place, while D2 battles were in huge places, for example the Diablo boss fight. you had space to run around, you had REASON to run around. if the places of D2 bossfights were as small as the D3 places, i would never have managed to kill Diablo. NEVER! the boss fights in D3 are just wayyy too arcady (as the rest of the game, but especially the boss fights)
+Palo Kan To this day, D2 Diablo and Duriel are still the most buttcheek clenchingly difficult bosses i have ever faced in a computer game. I'm not sure how, but Diablo in D3 is somehow weaker than D2 Diablo and uses fewer crazy tricks such as Bone Prison blocking town portals (hoy boy was that a massive "OH FU-" moment in D2).
As someone who has played neither 1 nor 2, I don't think it's my place to judge 3 as a Diablo game, but that doesn't bar me from judging it as a game on its own. Sure, the replay value didn't last past two classes for me (once through each, no hard mode), but the first time I played to the end, I felt like a fucking HERO! Sure, you're only really a sidekick to Tyrael and company, but still, those cinematics give me chills to this day. It was great fun while it lasted and I'm glad to got it :)
Diablo takes place in a fantasy world, with the idea being that a primeval being was responsible for creation when he decides to cast off his dark side, but in the process creates two separate beings. Said separate beings make war upon each other until they destroy themselves, the shards of each coalescing to become Angels and Demons in this setting. Though I don't like it, the primary concept is that humans are the magic-starved descendants of humans and angels intermixing with each other who got tired of the eternal conflict that went on since that first battle. So in a sense, the god of this universe is in everyone. Pretty Christian if you ask me.
Visitormassacre That's pretty much what I said, just the longer version. By the way is that how it's spelled in the game? The traditional spelling is Nephalim, wasn't sure if they changed that. Not too fond of the use though; it's kind of seen in Darksiders as well, but I feel like it's either misinterpreted or purposefully changed by the devs of said games to try and 'make it look cooler.'
I agree. The story arc for D2 was WAY better than D3's. Now if only they'd go back and re-do the video for the d2 cinematics to update them to d3 quality video. (keep the original audio.)
Andrew Costanza I rly dont get it. I played Diablo 2 and story was rly easy, same like in Diablo 3. Diablo went to free his brothers. Then Mefisto and Diablo die and Ball attack mount arreat and fail... If you call that like good story :) Its good like my english. But its epic.
anybody knows good android live wallpapers with Diablo 3 artwork? I've seen many static images on Google Play though - what i want some animated image, like Moon Knight Fantasy Live wallpaper...
Idea for Diablo 4: they should ditch the Diablo 3 story and continue where Diablo 2 left off, and that is, the story starts with Deckard Cain, in Diablo 2 you found him hanging in a cage in Tristram, well... I'm sure you wondered how did he get up there, everyone was killed... only 2 were left "alive", Deckard Cain and Griswold (not exactly "alive" but still walking around). So, why did Diablo spare Cain's life? Eh, here is where Diablo 4 story will begin, Deckard Cain is a "spy" for the evil forces, he is there to sabotage the human race, corrupt people, he actually helped the Prime Evil in Diablo 2 but the main protagonist never knew that... untill Diablo 4. The Worldstone is destroyed, so are the Soulstones. They are not needed anyways, Deckard Cain, once part of the Horradrim, now corrupted with evil, manages to revive Diablo and his brothers. What will happen next? Will the player be able to fight him and cleanse him of the evil corruption?
Bada Bing Bada Boom uuum no. Deckard is the pure good old geezer that stays neer the warmest place in the town and tell's you to stay a while and listen and who always knows stuff about ancient history and helpful stuff for your quest.He is the one who makes playing Diablo magical in its own way !
Diablo 3 is too WoW for me, too colorful and too happy. Diablo 2 had a better atmosphere, story and charisma. The art director of Diablo 3 has completely denaturalized the game-art.
Mega Giga Bowser D2 has an "horror" feeling: sickness/corruption both physical (e.g.Tal Rasha's body) and mental (e.g. Marius) impregnates D2's world and sadly there is no chance to escape for the simple man (Marius is incapable to elevate himself to the role of hero). This left you disgusted, scared and sad. This feelings pervades the music and the visual art which "sounds" gothic, simple, almost bichromatic and when colors comes into play we have a blood-red or a sickening green or a vomiter-yellow. Also, all the things are represented rotting or decadent. This is not the case of D3, which seems to me settled in a more ordinary high fantasy world, thus, since we don't have the "horror" traits I've mention above, I've described it as "happy". Sure it can be considered incorrect. But I'm not the only one who thinks this, according to diablowiki.net there is a "too colorful" art's controversy, at the point that the designers of the Whimsyshire level decided to make fun of it. P.S. Maybe next time remember to say please. Have a nice day and sorry for my little english.
Do note that this takes place after Diablo 3 so to the people the fight is over and he'll is defeated. That and it had been 20 year since the last demonic invasion so they had some time to clean up a little so places prospered allowing them to add more color instead of constantly worrying that the demons would return which the main reason most didn't believe deckard when he attempted to warn them the end was coming.
Diablo 3 is a causal pandering, sideways stepping, pvpless, casual pandering piece of shit. There's no trading system, the pvp was completely absent, meanwhile you can't play offline! Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make D3 always online, but at the same time remove all of the best online features? In place of that we get a stupid fucking auction house?? Because that's super fun :D You never have to worry about finding good items because the drop rate I so low, just buying them is way more exciting right? PAY2WIN They spent 13 years on this fucking game and didn't take one single step forwards. All they did was "make it more accessible". AKA they ruined it for hardcore fans by causaling it up. I generously consider this a step sideways, but for many it's a step backwards. They completely fuck up the game balancing of D3 to "encourage cooperative play" Which they only want to do in order to make it seem like the fact we always have to play online isn't a completely redundant feature. Honestly after 13 years what have they accomplished? They "improved" the graphics? Okay well in the process they completely changed the graphic style to a more cartoony looking WOWish type, which completely shits all over the darker, depressing, more serious atmosphere that the older games had pulled off better than any game that had come before them. I liked D2 for; the excitement of retrieving my corpse. I liked having limited potion slots with no lazy cool down time system (and actually having to use the potions during my first run of the game, and I liked actually being able to die sometimes which I didn't in D3 until Hell). I loved actually having to you know... LEVEL UP MY OWN CHARACTER! But no D3 does that for you.. and you call it an RPG... a sequel to one of the greatest RPG's of all time... All of these changes were made simply to appeal to a larger audience. In doing so they've ruined something that was special to many others. Had they made no changes at all it would have been a better game. Not saying that there aren't ways of improving upon D2. But NONE of the changes they chose to make improve the experience of the game what so ever. Had this game not been called D3, or have the ridiculous budget it did, it would have been completely ignored by original D2 fans. Fuck Diablo 3.
If i agree or not isn't important. I wanna give you some acknowledgement for taking your time to not only express, but also argue and substantiate your opinion about the game. If everybody did this, we would be able to have a much better discussion about the game! Thank you.
Depressing, serious? So a world-scale war is playful. get real. You didn't die in the beginning? What difficulty were you on, Expert? Rofl. try master or torment noob.
Actually they did. Leah is the daughter of the hero (from D1) who was under influence of Diablo, and so a part of Diablo's soul was in her. That's why she was overtaken later on (and that's why there was the need of other evil's souls, so Diablo could be reborn stronger), and she turned to the female Diablo. And there's male voice, cause it's the same Diablo, the female model is there because it's Leah's transformed body.
"But if our precious laws bind you all to inaction, then I will no longer stand as your brother." i always used to youtube the d2 marius scene where he gives up the soulstone.. but i find myself coming back to the end of a1 d3 more and more often. shits dope yo
Blizzard is so good at creating story and epic cinematic videos. They really should try to make a movie about DIABLO AND STARCRAFT. Especially DIABLO in three to four series. This DIABLO story is almost good as lord of the rings
As a life long Diablo fan, I personally like D2 better. But D3 had a lot of new twists in it, and they brought back some great characters. I do agree, it is a little "cartoonish", but I still really liked the game. The cinematics were OUTSTANDING.
Dear Blizzard, i wish that you make a movie from you cinematics.. it is simply so epic, that i wish that it was on cinema!!! i just hope that you someday make some sort of film cause it is so awesome omagad! :P
2 of the BAD ASS Quotes!!! Imperius: "My old enemy, you cannot hide from me. No matter what form you choose to wear. Let your true self be revealed....Diablo! Diablo: Our long war ends today..Imperius!
"You cannot judge me... i am justice itself !"
The line is a little cheesy, but awesome at the same time.
+Johan Dale yeah, they could have worded it better
Peter Kuzmin The first part along with the slow way and pause of the voice actor. Imperius would be like "Oh man, that was corny, just get out !".
Johan Dale it isn't cheesy
+Johan Dale I know this is an old post, but I still wanted to respond. It does sound a little cheesy, but considering Tyrael is the archangel of justice, it makes sense.
+Guest Anonymic I can't tell if you're joking or have brain damage after reading this gibberish.
I bought Diablo 3 because I liked Diablo 2, but when I heard the necromancer wouldn't return I lost interest so I never touched it.
A few months down the line I decided to install SC: Brood War to my new computer, only to find out I couldn't access my blizzard account. Going into my email, a quick keyword search brought up a bunch of letters from Blizzard saying someone kept getting my password wrong.

And that's the story of how with zero effort on my part I logged on to find all characters maxed out with epic gear.
lol
that must suck thou.
Isaiah Gabriel Stfu about that shit... like god that's what all peasants say there's hackers on consoles too
+Tak 'Vakamai olololololololololololololol now what was your account password? Ilove50cent??
+Tak 'Vakamai quite a story
If you're an angelic being and you find yourself in an argument with the physical embodiment of justice, it's maybe time to reevaluate your world view.
That said, I'm glad Imperius never became a boss.
Many times Justice is blind. Many times Justice is incapable to see beyond. Many times Justice wrongly protect the "innocent."
I think he represents true justice...Justice that wrongly protects the "innocent" is not real justice meaning that, if a mafia boss is spared by earthly justice, Tyrael would not be of the same advice.....his point actually stands, since he accuses his brothers/sister of murder of the entire human kind by inaction. That's a crime even in the real world so I guess it's kind of what they were aiming for
Justice being blind is a metaphor for objectivity, meaning anyone is judged fairly, no matter who they are. In theory and fantasy, of course.
The dialogue between Tyrael and Imperius gives me goosebumbs like hell. It's amazing!
+Miguel Rossington FUCK YEAH!!! I feel the same!
YOU CANNOT JUDGE ME! I AM JUSTICE ITSELF!
pure badass.
+Denis Elezovic That Was A Real Cool Line.
+TheCompass03 Cool? COOL?! You sir must learn of more fitting words, like EPIC! TITANIC! TITANICALLY EPIC!!!

this is how tyrael became... tyrone.

Please god no... LOL!!
We'll see the minions
😂
I'm here vanquish somebody's wife long spear style
''My brethren, I will take my place among you once again, as a mortal''
*2 seconds later* walks up invisible stairs
Yaela Imladris hypocrite like a real mortal... he grew up so fast :')!
I think "my brethren" = angels
Stuart Smith its another word for brother or family
Blizzard makes the best cinematics/trailer EVER
"Even in the Heart do Heaven, Angels can still fee fear." Chilling quote
cuz angels can totaly fee fear
Lmao
Speak English damn
Well blizzard konw to make epic cinematics.
+LoDrAkK/// used to know*
+elfen caten why you said that
Dragons says otherwise.
well used, have you seen the newest one? legion I mean?
and know how to ruin an epic game
It must really suck to live in Tristram. I'd move if i were them.
Chee Kiat Teo The problem is they keep moving to new towns and naming them Tristram as well.
gentlemancoates LOL!
+gentlemancoates What if they named the new town Tristram 2?
I know nothing about this but I like the way Imperius looks
So in 2 fights, imperious got his ass handed to him twice, even though he is supposed to be the best angel fighter?
Yep
and just some random humans or human kill the most vile thing in existence lol
Actually, I think you are mistaking it. A common misconception with quite a number of other thing too. He is the leader of the angels but "leader" does not mean "best". He doesn't have to be the best at fighting or the wisest or the bravest. However, he must be able to take advantage of each of his angels' strengths and weaknesses to lead them to victory. Also, his title aflix is "valor" which can be loosely interpreted as he won't back down from a fight against even the most dangerous enemies. So his "strength" is probably in will power.
*****
Well, Dibolo is/was now the prime Evil, so he is probably better than even the Biggest Dick in the High Havens ^^
Fredchen Hackebeilchen And Tyrael is well.... Justice, like he said, you cant judge Justice..
Spoiler below
It's funny when you realise that Asmodan is not talking to Lea, but to Diablo inside her.
When azmodan is talking to leah diablo is not within her, She is the daughter of diablo but Azmodan probably didnt notice the differance
From what I gather, as she was the diablo daughter, she had a fragment of his essence. That's how he survived the shattering of his soulstone in D2. That was a plan all along :D
Jerzy Chojnowski When a soulstone shatters, it releases what is held within.
But she is diablos daughter, she has power of diablo
In D2 you destroyed soulstones in Hells Forge because that's the only place where the essence inside is also destroyed. I think that Tyrael also mentions that "Whatever is destroyed on Hell Anvil is lost forever". So I think that basically Diablo, as the most foreseeing of the three, had a backup plan - to have part of his essence separately, as his offspring. That's why he never really died. But that's just my interpretation, I could be wrong.
Jerzy Chojnowski They destroyed it in Hell Forge to remove soulstones corruption, doing so does not destroy owner of the soulstone.
When I die... heaven should definitely let me in! I've killed diablo countless times since D1! I'd say... I've done my part banishing evil in one lifetime...
I have fought with this "Eternal Conflict" since D1 as well nearly 20 years ago and have killed Diablo more times than I can count and it just seems like what is the point? He just keeps getting resurrected..
William FitzGerald You've earned you way into heaven fellow netizen! hahahaha
The cinematic in heaven with Diablo and Imperius is the most epic and amazing trailer I've seen in my entire life.
Why blizzard is hiring actors for the wow movie is beyond me when they can produce this
They want to make a live-action movie. But I agree! They could just as easily pull this off.
The Warcraft movie will be a mix of Live action and CGI. CGI costs a lot more money to make, and takes a lot more time.
Keely Palmer Really! I always thought live action was more expensive to make, considering you'd be paying for sets, props, make up, cameras, costumes, traveling to locations, actors, stunt doubles, etc. whereas CGI it'd be just voice actors, computers, artists, audio etc.
Then again, I suppose it depends on how much the equipment is and how big everyone's paycheck is supposed to be.
to produce a whole movie with this animation quality is far more expensive than a live action one. And the general public don´t like animation very much.
Is it more expensive to make a movie with 2D animation or CGI?
7:31 Look at Tyrael's gigantic hand. It's bigger than the tallest basketball players of today.
Blizzard knows what's up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I mean he's an angel so
cant they just make it into a movie, it would be such a hit...i have goosebumps all over
"I will defeat you, Imperius!" "No, it is I who will defeat YOU!" Look, I can write just like the staff at Blizzard. "Arg, I shall not be defeated! I will be doing the defeating!"
I really enjoyed this game, even though many did not. I appreciated the symbolism in the story line; only humanity can save itself, heavenly beings need not interfere. Something we all need to realize.
Not really, it took Tyrael's sacrifice and guidance cimbined with humanity to save both worlds from ruin.
And don t forgot the endlessly supplied new gears.
Yeah, the gear and character abilities advanced faster than the monster difficulty. One of the bigger game patches gave you a chance to change the difficulty, which I thought was a nice touch. Made it a little more fun.
acs197
Not in real life, we don't have any powers
“Cast down the prime evil....forever"
Reaper of souls: "Diablo is free..again"
ok boys
The bit where Tyrael fights Imperius and chooses to become human is my favourite.
gentlemancoates He chose to become a Ruff Ryder.
Damn, the design for the angels, especially imperious looks so nice.
And the demons look like complete brutes, real sweet.
i like how you can see a mouse just slowly sliding trough the Screen at Minute 7 xD
The name "Bastion's Keep" sounds like the work of someone with a thesaurus and a deadline.
Arancaytar Ilyaran no it's just bastion from overwatch was there
Arancaytar Ilyaran sounds like a place full of bastion units
The woman that did the hymn at the end of the first cinematic did an awesome job. It sends chills down my spine and i like it!!
man I love imperius. he was a well developed character.
16:57... Diablo's like "don't mind me... just taking a casual stroll into the heart of Heaven..." :D I love this game, and I'm so glad R.O.S released today (hence why I am re-watching all of these cinematics)
Angel, human and evil...sounds like protos, terran and zerg to me :)
And this diablo dude looks like Queen of blade, dont you think lol
Of course I'll "stay awhile and listen."
Diablo 3 is amazing
I would have loved it more if it was single player and more story driven. The premise of the story is honestly great. I think it could have been the best game of all time if they hadn't turned it into the usual grindy repetitive RNG-loot multiplayer bs.
I played D3 for a while. Almost a year. But it just becomes too boring. I've come back to it several times over the years. Yet it never captured me for long. It's just the same levels over and over. Heck you don't even get to play the story anymore you play greater rifts which is even more bland and boring. Just to see how much hp you can give a zombie and still beat it in time.
The foundation was definitely there for something greater. More open world. More RPG. Longer story. Less multiplayer.
What I like about D3 is that it's one of few games that actaully is alike the trailers and cinematics
lea has incredibly well manicured nails for such a dark medieval universe
gotta look good for tyrael
It's those biotin vitamin supplements
Damn girl, you got enough candles?
+TheAlgorath Wait until you see Bloodborne's world.
You know the shit.
Lmaooooo
D3, WoW. I love Blizzards cinematics!
And I enjoy playing their games!
WoW is great, D3 is great.
But Warcraft 3, boy, the memories! That is and will always be my favorite Blizzard game :)
Diablo looks like an Alien queen.
The Diablo games are just... way too repetitive. I think Blizzard is better at making cinematics than games.
Well, there's nothing new you can do with an MMO because then you'd have to worry about the main source being changed or not... I'm sure they don't mean to repeat the Diablo games but they can't really get any farther than that, you know?
***** They should!!! :D They should make an animated movie of Skyrim!! That's probably not going to happen, but hey! That'd be friggin' awesome!
No. No it's not. It's my favorite game of all time, and crazy fools like you are not going to EVER convince me otherwise.
The only thing that has any chance to do that is Fallout 4.
I agree that Oblivion's story and world are better than Skyrim's, but I still favor Skyrim much more.
Although... if Oblivion had Skyrim's graphics and gameplay, I'd like Oblivion more.
+delta38vader oblivion >> skyrim
I'm glad that this is here. I played Diablo I & II ancient years ago. Now that I am married and have a kid, no time for Diablo III. But at least I can watch what's going on and understand this. Thanks!!!
imperious is such a beast killed off in such a mediocre fashion though
Darth odin he wasn't killed was he ? He re appeared in the DLC didn't he did malathiel kill him ?
hes not dead, he opened the gates to pandemonium for for the nephalem, malathiel didnt want to kill the angels, only demon. untill about half way though your fight with him and he decides to eat the fucking soul stone, then he suddenly became Andarial/Durial/Mephisto/Diablo/Baal/Azmodan and Belieal at the same time.....like...... cmon......sure malthiel you want to get rid of demons you say? but then you decide fuck it ill become 7 demons in one, and better yet how about the most filthy demons to ever exsist..... Heee koo koo son thats all i know. (but no he didnt kill imperious, hes immortal if he tried to kill him, he would respawn in heaven super weak in need of rest, thats about it, all the angels that die in the eternal conflict just come right back in heaven again just to be sent off to fight once more. forever, in an eternal conflict
@Appaloosa Hill ^^^^^^^^^
yea plus if he had died how is that mediocre, dieing in an epic fight against the most powerful form of evil lol
Darth odin there was a rumor I heard that Imperious was going to be possessed by Diablo
Amazing cinematics
One of the best descriptions I've ever heard.
So I guess the humans in Diablo's world must be made of substance stronger than steel. How else would they explain Tyrael changing to a mortal and falling down like a meteor, but yet managed to survive the thousands of megaton strong impact? Better still, the meteor hit frail old fart Cain, and yet he survived, just to be sexually harassed by the skeleton king?
Great writing Blizz, or should I say, Chris Metzen.
thousands of megatons? that would have turned the whole village into dust
Yea it's a video nothing makes sense. For god sakes Imperius tries to pick up his giant knife on the sharp end and Tyrael is just like "no dude look the stick end. "
He did not became a normal human but a nephalem.
BeerBottleFighter Well the biggest tested nuke, the tsar bomb, was only 50 megatons, so thousands of megatons would destroy a whole lot more then just a village.
Jesper Söderlund
I know, my point was that there could not have been a impact with thousands of megatons^^ i think that was clear
I honestly don't understand why people say this is a shit game. I think it's amazing, especially compared to other games that don't have very good graphics or a good plot. Granted, I didn't play Diablo 1, as it came out a few months before I was even born, and I haven't played Diablo 2 since I was about 10, when me and my father would play it. I'd love to play Diablo 2 with the LoD expansion again, but I don't have a computer good enough to play on it.
Then again, I also played the entire D3 game and the RoS expansion with my two best friends. So even the repetitive dungeons that would sometimes take well over an hour to clear were fun. There's also probably the nostalgia value of the game for me, as one of my two best friends has since passed away, but I'm still able to play the game with her via the character she had..
They probably compare it to diablo 2
Tiana Scott if you would've played Diablo 2 instead of watching (like my father let me do, i was bout' 7 or 8) you should've understand what every1 says on the internet, that d3 is shit, mainly cuz its to happy, in a disney way, they fucked the skill tree system and they were not innovative enough for example the runes that you could spell rune words with in d2 nothing like that was in the d3
Did you not read what I said, or did you just read two sentences in and assume that I didn't play it?
The best part is:
"You cannot judge me. I am justice itself! We were meant for more than this! To protect the innocent! But if our precious laws bind you all to inaction ... then I will no longer stand as your brother."
"You...chose...to..be one of us?!?"
Man I RLY love that part
Is Diablo the supreme ruler of every monster that you encounter in the game?
Wait, so you are telling me that the king of the angles and the guardian of the heavens just got beaten by a tail? FUKC TIS
Diablo cheated and had his brothers inside him nasty incest loving cheat
Its called an eternal war for a reason
The leader of the angles isn’t even imperious , it’s malthael
Did you know: The barbarian you play as in D3 is actually the same guy as the one from D2? It's never shown in game, as the devs realized it would put far too much story emphasis on a single character, though it's still canonical. That badass warrior of the north fought and killed the prime evils twice in his lifetime, watched the shattering of his homeland, and the death of a close friend. Pour one out for Deckard Cain boys, you know the barbarian did.
Make a DAMN MOVIE!!!!!!!
11:20 here i believe that azmodan is talking to Diablo rather than leah. he says, "our brethren" he may be referring to Diablo betraying his brothers to become the prime evil
ya, I believe he may had know about leah being a vessel for Diablo. Like feeling him, kinda the way imperious knew.
I think its cool how they mixed illustration "cartoon" animation and cgi into the game. In case people think the first 2min is, keep on watching, its amazing what blizzard can do with their rendering cinematics.
Can a diablo nerd explain to me something, when diablo died at the end, is he completely dead or is he just temporarily dead and will come back in the future? I saw the cartoon he was vanquished before and he returned for diablo 3.
soulstone still there, he's alive.
DharkDemonBlade so if they kill him again will he just comeback with a soul stone? man these eternal evils annoy me,
Don't forget, you must go to the Hellforge to destroy a Prime Evil permanently or it will repeatedly return as a crystal who will wait for its vessel.
You simply can't destroy a prime evil, no matter what you do.
Demons are spawned from the Black Abyss, and that's where they go when they die. You can actually escape the Black Abyss, and respawn.
And even if you do manage to kill an evil permanently, another one with the same goal and purpose will come back, because its the natural order and it must be preserved. If you'd kill the Lord of terror for real, a second one will appear from it.
***** I have a life. Stopped playing mmorpgs ands online rpgs in my teens, too time consuming
It´s funny cause this game stole my money
Why not buy the expansion and give them another chance to steal your money?
inigo137 Actually you willingly gave them the money. But trust me, the rework and the expansion actually made the game better.
Fishbeaverduck So, you are telling me that an entity with the name Diablo 3 over it´s head didn´t come to my house , beat me up, and steal my money? No shit sherlock!
inigo137
The butthurt is strong in this one.
Fishbeaverduck Not really, but you just look like an annoying kid, so go back to school pls
WOW the Blizzard Intertainment is the Best Story Maker
next time you make video make all the sound and other adjustments before recording, and stop moving your bloody mouse
Compared to d2, there is something i believe is missing from d3
yes, the boss fights. i always feared the dark lords in D2, because they lived up to their names, especially Diablo with his "death-ray". you had to run from them, come up with a strategy and if you didn't pay attention for a second, you would be dead.
in D3, all i need to do at a bossfight is press the left mouse button, and hold it. my life regen, and my huge life pool plus enormous damage does the rest. i fear the random "yellow" mobs more, then any of the bosses in D3. a yellow mob on Hell is 500 times harder then Diablo/Prime Evil on Nightmare. i mean, seriously ? o.O
not to forget that D3 boss fights are all in a really small place, while D2 battles were in huge places, for example the Diablo boss fight. you had space to run around, you had REASON to run around. if the places of D2 bossfights were as small as the D3 places, i would never have managed to kill Diablo. NEVER!
the boss fights in D3 are just wayyy too arcady (as the rest of the game, but especially the boss fights)
i suppose it means that the Player is no longer just a human but a Nephilem/Nephalem
+Palo Kan
To this day, D2 Diablo and Duriel are still the most buttcheek clenchingly difficult bosses i have ever faced in a computer game. I'm not sure how, but Diablo in D3 is somehow weaker than D2 Diablo and uses fewer crazy tricks such as Bone Prison blocking town portals (hoy boy was that a massive "OH FU-" moment in D2).
As someone who has played neither 1 nor 2, I don't think it's my place to judge 3 as a Diablo game, but that doesn't bar me from judging it as a game on its own.
Sure, the replay value didn't last past two classes for me (once through each, no hard mode), but the first time I played to the end, I felt like a fucking HERO! Sure, you're only really a sidekick to Tyrael and company, but still, those cinematics give me chills to this day. It was great fun while it lasted and I'm glad to got it :)
good movie
OH MY GOD I JUST MADE POPCORN FOR THIS SHIT
Warcraft II Replays SAME BRO
Thank you so much for this, i enjoy watching these cinematic's more then playing the game
Where is God in all this?
En tu imaginación, donde mas
The god of the Diablo universe is dead, literally, fighting the original prime evil
Mads Andreasen Man....Fuck that.
Diablo takes place in a fantasy world, with the idea being that a primeval being was responsible for creation when he decides to cast off his dark side, but in the process creates two separate beings. Said separate beings make war upon each other until they destroy themselves, the shards of each coalescing to become Angels and Demons in this setting.
Though I don't like it, the primary concept is that humans are the magic-starved descendants of humans and angels intermixing with each other who got tired of the eternal conflict that went on since that first battle. So in a sense, the god of this universe is in everyone. Pretty Christian if you ask me.
Visitormassacre That's pretty much what I said, just the longer version.
By the way is that how it's spelled in the game? The traditional spelling is Nephalim, wasn't sure if they changed that. Not too fond of the use though; it's kind of seen in Darksiders as well, but I feel like it's either misinterpreted or purposefully changed by the devs of said games to try and 'make it look cooler.'
D2 cine's > D3 cine's ;)
I agree. The story arc for D2 was WAY better than D3's. Now if only they'd go back and re-do the video for the d2 cinematics to update them to d3 quality video. (keep the original audio.)
Andrew Costanza 14 years... after 15 they need to make a Diablo 2 HD edition or Diablo 2 Remake edition.
Andrew Costanza I rly dont get it. I played Diablo 2 and story was rly easy, same like in Diablo 3. Diablo went to free his brothers. Then Mefisto and Diablo die and Ball attack mount arreat and fail... If you call that like good story :) Its good like my english. But its epic.
Martin orság GTFO
BattlefieldSoldier7 LoL big comentary. Between if you want to have good story, try to read books.......
I haven't played any diablo games but watching this I wish I have
is Diablo a female or just gay ? dat walk thou
Merging with other evils made him more feminine, not like he cares :P
one of the lesser evils was a female holding all others mad ehim acquire features from all. not to mention his host body was female
Brandon D merging with Leah, maybe?
+68Limar He possessed her to return to the world after his past defeat
Diablo actually isn't anything... it's an "it". Its a spirit, which kinda negates it having a gender. I think it can take any form it wishes to.
anybody knows good android live wallpapers with Diablo 3 artwork?
I've seen many static images on Google Play though - what i want some animated image, like Moon Knight Fantasy Live wallpaper...
thx, lwp u refer is cool. though i can't recommend anything sorry
man, this is a nice clip! I'd love to see this as a full movie!
Poor leah
Whack, can i make it up to you leah???
Tyrael is like obama :D
yeah!
I have just finished the trial version and am going to get Diablo 3 once I'm paid from my job :)
Idea for Diablo 4: they should ditch the Diablo 3 story and continue where Diablo 2 left off, and that is, the story starts with Deckard Cain, in Diablo 2 you found him hanging in a cage in Tristram, well... I'm sure you wondered how did he get up there, everyone was killed... only 2 were left "alive", Deckard Cain and Griswold (not exactly "alive" but still walking around). So, why did Diablo spare Cain's life? Eh, here is where Diablo 4 story will begin, Deckard Cain is a "spy" for the evil forces, he is there to sabotage the human race, corrupt people, he actually helped the Prime Evil in Diablo 2 but the main protagonist never knew that... untill Diablo 4. The Worldstone is destroyed, so are the Soulstones. They are not needed anyways, Deckard Cain, once part of the Horradrim, now corrupted with evil, manages to revive Diablo and his brothers. What will happen next? Will the player be able to fight him and cleanse him of the evil corruption?
Bada Bing Bada Boom Yeah, no.
Bada Bing Bada Boom uuum no. Deckard is the pure good old geezer that stays neer the warmest place in the town and tell's you to stay a while and listen and who always knows stuff about ancient history and helpful stuff for your quest.He is the one who makes playing Diablo magical in its own way !
Bada Bing Bada Boom Ookayy....How about a no?
+Bada Bing Bada Boom Heheheheh... eh... good one, but nobody says "Bada Bing, Bada Boom" anymore. Also, no.
Bada Bing Bada Boom and bring back Tyrael as Archangel.
Diablo 3 is too WoW for me, too colorful and too happy. Diablo 2 had a better atmosphere, story and charisma. The art director of Diablo 3 has completely denaturalized the game-art.
Too happy? explain..
Mega Giga Bowser D2 has an "horror" feeling: sickness/corruption both physical (e.g.Tal Rasha's body) and mental (e.g. Marius) impregnates D2's world and sadly there is no chance to escape for the simple man (Marius is incapable to elevate himself to the role of hero). This left you disgusted, scared and sad.
This feelings pervades the music and the visual art which "sounds" gothic, simple, almost bichromatic and when colors comes into play we have a blood-red or a sickening green or a vomiter-yellow. Also, all the things are represented rotting or decadent.
This is not the case of D3, which seems to me settled in a more ordinary high fantasy world, thus, since we don't have the "horror" traits I've mention above, I've described it as "happy". Sure it can be considered incorrect.
But I'm not the only one who thinks this, according to diablowiki.net there is a "too colorful" art's controversy, at the point that the designers of the Whimsyshire level decided to make fun of it.
P.S. Maybe next time remember to say please.
Have a nice day and sorry for my little english.
Do note that this takes place after Diablo 3 so to the people the fight is over and he'll is defeated. That and it had been 20 year since the last demonic invasion so they had some time to clean up a little so places prospered allowing them to add more color instead of constantly worrying that the demons would return which the main reason most didn't believe deckard when he attempted to warn them the end was coming.
I couldn't possibly agree more with what this man has said. Someone get him a medal!
Diablo 3 is a causal pandering, sideways stepping, pvpless, casual pandering piece of shit.
There's no trading system, the pvp was completely absent, meanwhile you can't play offline! Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to make D3 always online, but at the same time remove all of the best online features? In place of that we get a stupid fucking auction house?? Because that's super fun :D You never have to worry about finding good items because the drop rate I so low, just buying them is way more exciting right? PAY2WIN
They spent 13 years on this fucking game and didn't take one single step forwards. All they did was "make it more accessible". AKA they ruined it for hardcore fans by causaling it up. I generously consider this a step sideways, but for many it's a step backwards. They completely fuck up the game balancing of D3 to "encourage cooperative play" Which they only want to do in order to make it seem like the fact we always have to play online isn't a completely redundant feature.
Honestly after 13 years what have they accomplished? They "improved" the graphics? Okay well in the process they completely changed the graphic style to a more cartoony looking WOWish type, which completely shits all over the darker, depressing, more serious atmosphere that the older games had pulled off better than any game that had come before them.
I liked D2 for; the excitement of retrieving my corpse. I liked having limited potion slots with no lazy cool down time system (and actually having to use the potions during my first run of the game, and I liked actually being able to die sometimes which I didn't in D3 until Hell). I loved actually having to you know... LEVEL UP MY OWN CHARACTER! But no D3 does that for you.. and you call it an RPG... a sequel to one of the greatest RPG's of all time...
All of these changes were made simply to appeal to a larger audience. In doing so they've ruined something that was special to many others. Had they made no changes at all it would have been a better game. Not saying that there aren't ways of improving upon D2. But NONE of the changes they chose to make improve the experience of the game what so ever. Had this game not been called D3, or have the ridiculous budget it did, it would have been completely ignored by original D2 fans. Fuck Diablo 3.
If i agree or not isn't important. I wanna give you some acknowledgement for taking your time to not only express, but also argue and substantiate your opinion about the game. If everybody did this, we would be able to have a much better discussion about the game! Thank you.
Depressing, serious? So a world-scale war is playful. get real.
You didn't die in the beginning? What difficulty were you on, Expert? Rofl. try master or torment noob.
Diablo 2 is better
it'll be so awesome if they make a diablo animated trilogy like this. the realism is breathtaking.
Adjusting the volume for us.. Thank you kind sir :D
Actually they did. Leah is the daughter of the hero (from D1) who was under influence of Diablo, and so a part of Diablo's soul was in her. That's why she was overtaken later on (and that's why there was the need of other evil's souls, so Diablo could be reborn stronger), and she turned to the female Diablo. And there's male voice, cause it's the same Diablo, the female model is there because it's Leah's transformed body.
I dont know why there are so many haters of D3.I enjoy it a lot,I really like it.You cant discuss tastes,I know,but I like it :)
Uhh, I don't know if I agree about the story, but I do agree on the quality of their cinematic studio.
Epic baws sauce.
"But if our precious laws bind you all to inaction, then I will no longer stand as your brother." i always used to youtube the d2 marius scene where he gives up the soulstone.. but i find myself coming back to the end of a1 d3 more and more often. shits dope yo
I cant afford to play D3, I thank the person that pressed upload button for this video.
legendary pictures bought the right to make a Diablo movie. Hasn't been brought up in years, but it's possible
Thx for posting this vid, I really enjoyed it.
Blizzard is so good at creating story and epic cinematic videos. They really should try to make a movie about DIABLO AND STARCRAFT. Especially DIABLO in three to four series. This DIABLO story is almost good as lord of the rings
I just got Diablo 3 yesterday and I think its an awesome game and I'm having so much fun playing it! I honestly don't see what's wrong with it.
This actually makes me see the Let's plays
Tyrael had such an epic voice in D2... even that is lost in D3
No matter what i love Blizzard Cinematics there fucking amazing
As a life long Diablo fan, I personally like D2 better. But D3 had a lot of new twists in it, and they brought back some great characters. I do agree, it is a little "cartoonish", but I still really liked the game. The cinematics were OUTSTANDING.
Leah to Tyrael: "did it hurt when you fell from heaven?". This is the true origin of that line.
im so happy i bought a Diablo 3 sword of justice replica! its really worth the price diablo fans!
part from 5:00 - 8:25 is my favorite part. I got chills whenever I see moments from 6:20 ..just epic
Dear Blizzard, i wish that you make a movie from you cinematics.. it is simply so epic, that i wish that it was on cinema!!! i just hope that you someday make some sort of film cause it is so awesome omagad! :P
they are making one as we speak: the WoW movie is scheduled for release in 2015, it was announced and everything, so it's 100% official this time ;)
Who came here after seeing Diablo Immortals?
It does leave it open for the expansion: 1) The Black Soulstone was not destroyed, 2) Imperius is still alive (and probably pissed).
i dont care what anyone says this is epic. I wish they would make a movie of it
A movie franchise to the Diablo games or other of Blizzards games would be AWESOME! XD
Looks great! Any specifications?
2 of the BAD ASS Quotes!!!
Imperius: "My old enemy, you cannot hide from me. No matter what form you choose to wear. Let your true self be revealed....Diablo!
Diablo: Our long war ends today..Imperius!
