Honest Trailers

that's a terrible looking 4.

Secret Signature

The one for The Incredibles 2 seems a tad mean, although I can't help but admit that the point about the plots being similar is quite apt.

"Learn as if you will live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow."

I don't think it's at all fair to Bethesda to compare them to that moronic mess, sure they announced a mobile game but they were also smart enough to reveal a proper title to avoid any fan rage.

Comparing them to Activision-Blizzard is frankly excessive.

EA and Command and Conquer is the comparison.

I honestly believe that there will never be a Diablo 4.

Do we need a Diablo 4? The series has pretty much resolved its meta-plot with D3; what contrived reason will they come up with now for Diablo to return? As Zero Punctuation likes to say, part of making a serial work is knowing when to stop.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

Reaper of Souls literally ends with the promise that Diablo will return (Thanks to the shattered Black Soulstone), and the Nephilim becoming Big Bad.

I don't really care for a sequel. Diablo 3's plot wasn't particularly good, and the tone of the game really is lighter and softer than Diablo 2 and Diablo.

Really I’d be very impressed if Blizzard started making games on a semi-consistent basis.

And maybe don’t focus so much in making gigantic franchises out of them.

3 was my first Diablo game. I at least liked the gameplay.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

The gameplay is okay, though I wasn't overly fond of the "You get all the powers and can trade between each others at will, you're just limited by the hotbar".

It sort of felt like building your own build, your own twist on a class was less of a thing. It was something you picked based on the gear you now got. You don't work towards it. I dunno. It felt less earned.

That said the gameplay itself was fun, it's a minor gripe. My main issue is with the tone of the game. Diablo 1 and 2 have this oppressive, dark tone. The world's going to shit. It wasn't even that good of a world to begin with. Diablo's so foul he's leaving a trail of destruction and horrors without ever trying to. And there's this tone of "Can we stop him?" Doubly so in 2 when he corrupted the original heroes. Can we stop Diablo? Both games have an aura of despair to them - Tristram is fucked (1), and maybe all we can do is stop it from getting worse, but it's not going back to the way it was. The world is fucked (2), and maybe all we can do is stop it from getting worse, but it's not going back to the way it was.

Diablo 3 tells you 5 minutes into act 1 that you're the Nephilim and basically a super hero and wastes no time giving you an ego handjob. The remaining two evils are also way more chatty and that makes them... lame? Like, they come across less as these embodiments of evil, and more like saturday morning villains. And never threatening because the game keeps telling me how my character, as a Nephilim, is better than angels and demons and a murder elemental who can't be stopped.

Minor gripes, I know, but the change in tone really dragged the story down for me.

Derp

Sounds like standard Blizzard fare, they seem to have a habit of turning interesting storylines into derivative wankery.

Look at what they did to Starcraft, Raynor went from vowing to kill Kerrigan at the end of Brood War to pining after his lost waifu in Wings of Liberty. I don't know if Blizzard's writing staff have taken recreational glue sniffing or what but at this point expecting a good or particularly interesting plot from Blizzard is far too much to ask.

Due to Defy Media, Smosh Games' publisher, shutting down, there won't be another Honest Game Trailer for the time being until they get a new publisher.

What about Honest Trailers? Aren't those the same guys?

Optimism is a duty.

Nope. That's Screenjunkies.

Honest Trailers/Screen Junkies are currently sponsored by Fandom (a.k.a.: the guys behind those Wikia sites).

Although...there might be a ray of hope for the Smosh crew since they still plan to create new videos despite Defy Media closing down. Sure, it's probably low or no budget, but it might feel close to an indie production.

Anyway...

"Shut up, Meg."

A bit lowbrow, but still induced a chuckle.

On a different note, I wonder if anyone has requested an Honest Trailer of Event Horizon?

"Learn as if you will live forever, live as if you will die tomorrow."

In honor for the upcoming Creed 2 movie.

The mustache that crippled the DCEU. lol

They really missed a golden opportunity to call Cavill "The Man from D.A.D.D.Y."

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Japanese Spider-Man is...weird. It’s not bad, it’s not GREAT, but it is weird.

Hey, Stan Lee loved it. That's all the endorsement you need.

Love it! You know, why does Japanese Spider-Man calls himself "The Emissary from Hell"? That sounds more like a bad guy title you hear and run away from rather than a hero's title.

Because his main motivation is revenge?

Where there's life, there's hope.
