Yeah, I actually, I kind of want to see what this is gonna be. I've never, I've never seen this. I never played Diablo 2 or Diablo 1. I couldn't play Diablo 2 because my mom thought it was satanic because, you know... Diablo 3 I played, but not Diablo 2. Man. That was a long time ago, huh? You gotta remember, like in 1996, this shit was... this shit went hard. In 1996, man. King Arthur Excalibur shit going on. The good old days.

Yeah, and look at the story. There's a sword. And a man walks into a building. And there's people dead inside the building. That's it. That's it. It's just a sword. Bro, again, these graphics were just nutty.

Like, I'm telling like, every single kid back then was like, what the fuck? It was crazy good. It was the best in the video. Oh yeah. Here we go. Yep. There's no way it was this bad. Let's skip ahead. Nice, this loop. Hey yo, fuck Diablo. This shit was brutal too. Who is that? That's Leoric's son. They don't make them like they used to. Nah, bro. Like, and none of this shit even like, it didn't even really make sense unless you knew what was going on. Tennis and voice acting. Was this the same one?

I'll skip that. Oh, here we go. Oh, it's the woman one? Oh. For each class, I didn't know that. The soul stone burns with hell fire as an eerie red glow blurs your vision. Fresh blood flows into your eyes and you begin to hear the tormented whispers of the dand. Just like listen to how metal and fucking just how brutal this shit is.

Done what you knew must be done. The essence of Diablo is contained. For now, you pray that you have become strong enough to contain the demon and keep him at bay. Although you have been fortified by your quest, you can still feel him, clawing his way up from the dark recesses of your soul. Fighting to retain control, your thoughts turn toward the ancient mystic lands of the Far East. Perhaps there, beyond the desolate wastes of Aronoccus. Svaranak, you will find an answer.

Or perhaps, salvation. And that was it. The, literally the end. That is what games used to be back then. And it was so fucking metal. God, it was fucking amazing. Oh my God, it was so good. A great end? Yeah.

And this is, so these are the Diablo 2 resurrected cinematics. I never watched any of these. I don't actually know I saw the first one then that's it they're fucking awesome I feel like most people are in agreement that Diablo 2 resurrected was a good was a good thing like it's not like it was uh you know it was bad or whatever like I think most people liked it was great yeah it was a faithful reproduction it was a good remake this is the one I've seen this one and the one the one the tavern Not like re- yeah, it was resurrected, not reforged guys.

Not reforged. Ooh, not reforged. Marius, yeah. Duh. Duh. Duh. So, Marius. At last, I find you.

Travel in the skies is watching. I've been searching for you for a long time, Marius. I was rather beginning to think you didn't watch. This game... Oh, forgive me, dearie, please. Wasn't my fault? Not... This game...

I forgot how bleak it was. It was so fucking brutal and bleak and dark. Holy shit! Your fault. Tell me, Madias. How was it not your fault? Just like the dialogue? A wanderer.

Yes, it was the one. Yeah, this game wasn't made for Pussies. My days in the rogue citadel seemed so long ago. I sought refuge from my memories in the company of other outcasts. High in the mountains past the eastern gate. Again, it's just, it's just so fucking dark and bleak and grim. There's just something about it that's so good about it Like the atmosphere is just so

It's just it's so present For days at a time For when I dreamt The memories would return Memories of the Monastery And the evil Which had claimed

Dreamed memories I couldn't tell the difference anymore Is that thing compared to Diablo 3? I'm the evil from my dreams. Hey, yo, Diablo 3 cinematics, like, I get that people are trying to get down on it. But they were really cool. Yes, they didn't have the atmosphere and the vibe of Diablo 2.

You're right. But some of them were really fucking cool anyway. Followed me at my heels. How had he found me here? How could this broken shit? Hell of a man barely able to carry the weight of his hopes for. Be the strove me to hide here. Again, nobody's even talking like there's no, there's no dialogue or anything.

He seemed to have demons of his own. He struggled to contain. Here we go. Here we go. And I love how he just sits there and he's like, I became convinced that I was too much What the fuck, bro? The terror that's structure The evil had witnessed

How else could I explain them Were these the demons from my dream-born Were they born? Within the wonder. This is what the fuck? I love how there's just no dialogue either. Besides the main character. It doesn't matter what they say.

It just fucking tears his heart out. I just... Bro, where is this? It says... Fuck. Oh shit. I never smoked at a gap in his. I quit smoking the shit, yeah.

And he just walks out of there. Why did I follow him? And I don't know. Why do things happen as they do with dreams? And I love that too. Why did I decide to follow the guy who came into the tavern and killed everybody and summoned demons and caught everything on fire? I don't know. Why do things happen the way they do? I don't know.

And like, I kind of like that, you know? Instead of like, oh, well, there's this grand plan behind everything. Yeah, it's one of this. I think that's what makes it even more bleak, you know? Always. Yeah, that's what makes it even more bleak, you know? Why did I decide to do this? I don't know.

You know. Act 2 This is all new to me Is Act 2 a desert in every game? Is that just how it is? Yes East Over the mountains

and into the vast deserts of broken lands As the days past My companion told me of himself That he had once been a great warrior And that a dark and secret burden now weighed heavily upon him. We traveled for an eternity across that barren wasteland.

How long? Oh shit, I couldn't say. And that's the thing. It's like the camel dies. Yeah, camel's dead. Yep, that's right. Why did, yep, everybody's dead. Why did I follow him?

I don't know. Now the camel's dead. We're in the middle of a desert. Yeah, it's just fucking everything sucks. that last night. Perhaps it was the warm desert wind or the sound of the ocean, but for the first time in many weeks, I slept. However, the dreams return, but these were clearly not my own. I beheld the vision of a great man, the mage Talarasha. You were there too, Tyriel. I remember seeing you in my dream. His brethren had cornered a great demon, bail, Lord of Destruction.

Oh, they put in his body. They attempted to imprison the demon within a sacred stone. And then they put him in jail, yeah. When their attempts failed, Taurasha selflessly volunteered to contain the dick of bleeding the pre-instructed his brother to bind him within the tomb. Very understand. There to wrestle with you for all eternity

It's so badass yep Oh my god Yeah that's badass We sat out with the dawn The next morning we walked over the hill toward Luke Coulain Well that looks so good Holy shit

Of the horrors that were in store That looks like it's straight out of like kingdom of heaven or some shit you know So real? Yeah. This is 2000? Well, I mean, to be fair, like this, this is the remaster version, but yeah. And I love how also, like, nobody even, like, they don't even bother explaining the name of the guy that he's following. No, he doesn't have a name. There's no need for that. The Wanderer. Yeah, it's the Wanderer. It's the hero from Diablo One? Wait, really? The Wander and Darkse? Wait, what the fuck? I didn't know that. That's crazy. That's even better.

Oh my god. That's so cool. Warriors the cannon class. It's the best class in the game makes sense. Oh and that's the thing he put it. It was then I realized my companion hadn't been gaining strength. He had been losing what was left of his humanity. Oh shit there's Tulloch. Damnic speed Stop!

The beast contained herein shall not be set free, naivance by you Damn, bro, he squared up to an angel? Marius is just gonna... wait, you fucking idiot? Wait, why would you do this? Why would you do this? You fucking idiot? He's probably high again? Well, I wonder what this does.

Oh, don't... Huh? You have just ensured that I begin to imagine what you've set in motion this day. Go to the temple of light in the eastern city of Karras. There you will find the gate to hell opened before you must find the courage to step through that gate, Marlins. Take the stone you hold to the hellforged where it will be destroyed. Now run. Take your stone and run!

What did I have? Again, why would... he, like, what would be the reason of let's release the guy? Like, it's just, it's, what the fuck? Yeah, that's the story. And, no, what I'm saying is that the simplicity of it is what makes it good. Because it's, like, nothing is, like, most things are not really explained in the cinematics.

It's like, you can kind of figure them out for yourself, right? But it's like it is what Like basically The majority of these cinematics Why did this happen? Why do things in life happen The way they do? It is what it is.

Yep Four I did as you told me Tyriel I found the temple of the Zakarum In the deepest recesses of the temple I found a dark gathering My companion The Wanderer

Oh. Tahrusha and a great evil. Is that Mephisto? Who can only be the Lord of Patron himself. Mofisto. Oh, there it is. I heard a voice that like a thousand needles and miles. to hell to consume they that dwell on the earth.

You can do it, Marius. Stop Diablo from entering this world. The sky shall rain fire, and the seas will become his blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked, and all creation shall tremble before the earth's standards of hell. But I saw them who's not meant for mortal eyes. The pig stands ready. Now my young brother, the time has come to assume your true for.

Yep. Holy shit. There it is. Holy shit. Bro, he's so beefy. God damn. Holy shit, bro. There he is.

He is, yo. You are a hundred of all returned, Yama. Save for your terror into hell. God damn. This whole thing was the fault of one man. Yeah, this guy just kind of messed up, you know? He kind of just, you know, just fucked up. Damn, that actually was cool.

Holy shit. Diablo looked badass, too. Destroyed at Hell Forge. Oh, except... What a bitch! What a bitch! ...give me... ...gave me the stone, and all is forgiven.

Give it to me, Marius. Give it to me, Marius. Take it, take it, take it. I'm glad this is finally over, Tyriel. Look what the stone has done to me. You haven't failed, old man. You've done exactly as you were meant to do. However, I am not the Archangel Trial.

He's like... Oh shit. Oh, man. Oh, bro. Not again. Oh, my God. Just laughing at him.

You have done well, Marius. Oh, fuck. Now I think you shall have your award. Damn. Damn. Poor Marius, yeah. None of this was his fault or anything,

you know? So it's like, all of Diablo two was one guy's fault. And it wasn't even like an important guy. It was just like this stupid bald guy. That just fuck it. I don't know like got everybody killed or something like it's Why do you do it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It is what it is. This is the expansion trailer, right? I don't know if I've ever seen the remastered version of this. Yeah. Why would you even come out?

Bro, go inside. Jesus. The gates of Sacheron have stood for eons beyond remembrance. And you shall not reach them now. You shall not pass. You will move your foul demons from our lands. We stand on the side of light. You shall not be allowed to reach Mount Ariat.

And that which you seek will not be yours. Bald. I shall take your position into consideration. Oh, there's the yellow thing. It's probably not gonna be good one. Well, it seems your terms are not acceptable. Oh my god. Oh shit, that was fucking funny.

Just like that. Oh-oh. Is Terrifying Rose-Kid? Yeah, I guess. Word of destruction. I haven't seen this one either. Oh, there's Tyriel. Wait, is that Tyrio or Enarius?

I feel like Narius is more as a really long ones, but maybe it's Tyriel too. It is too. Oh, it is too. What the fuck is the same? Is that the World Stone? Well, he fucking destroyed that shit. Yeah, I love how like almost nobody ever really talks a lot, except for the one guy that got killed. they're like shut the fuck up

and that's it all the rest of it are just guys ugh oh no and that's it bro like that is it I love it man holy shit this is so good

I uh I forgot how just like absolutely dark and like brutal I keep wanting to say dark but Diablo too was yeah it was just nuts man Diablo 3 now yeah well we're gonna watch Diablo 3 I don't think I ever really watched all of the trailers for Diablo 3

so I'm kind of curious here we go Diablo 3 all cinematics this is just I'm muted right now okay so I'm like sure it wasn't like out of sync the people pray for strength and guidance I feel like yeah the vibe is definitely different than it was with Diablo

2 yeah it definitely was a lot more different the first sign shall appear in the heavens shall fall upon the world of men this was cool the army's light and shadow will clash across the fields of eternity yeah this is bad ass madame no that's actually diablo i remember whenever this came out these cinematics were like s tier Are you all right? My girl. It was nothing, uncle.

A bad dream. They still are. Yeah, they're still really good. Like in terms of like the quality. There still work to be done. If these translations are correct, those of hell could already be on the move. The world must be told of the coming darkness.

You do believe me. Don't you, Lear? Sure, Grandpa. Let's get you to bed. No. It has begun. Leave it, uncle. It's not important.

Damn. Bad R&G? Yeah. Oh yeah, I actually really like this one. Yeah, this, I remember this is the one after like Act 1 or something. It was all just stories. Not what he wanted to see. Deckard sacrificed much to protect this, what his work is not over.

What would you know about sacrifice? The ancient law, the high heavens strictly for me up. Shut the fuck up. ...from interfering with a mortal world. Yet you have done so, brazenly. All I am guilty of Imperious is bringing justice. While you hide, cowering behind your throne.

Silence! Will you now answer for your transcripts? You cannot judge me. I am justice itself. We were meant for more than this. To protect the innocent... Duterio's such a fucking badass. Then I will no longer stand as your brother.

By the way, this is already 10x better than any paladin in Lowe ever did. And it's not even close. Yeah, that's a paladin right there. It's a goddamn crusader. Never believed crazy tales. It work. We'll finish it, Uncle. I will carry on for you.

Ooh. Think about like, that's more dialogue than like all of Diablo 3, Diablo 2. Yeah, way more dialogue. I don't think I've ever seen this one. This act three cinematic? Ooh, that's the bad guy. Uh-oh. None of this makes any sense to me.

What am I supposed to see? Yeah, I don't remember this. Let's be honest. This is badass. This is the one I do remember. Yeah, this shit was insane. My old enemy, you cannot hide from me. This was so fucking cool, man. And I like how this was like actually a fight, you know? Yeah, it wasn't like some one hit thing and it's over. It's two hit, yeah. I actually thought it was a matter.

Perius went down like a bitch, though. Yeah, I thought it was more of a fight. Yeah, he did. My dad's called me. Give me one second. My dad wants me to help him. Like, his phone's messed up. So I have to make sure that his answering machine's working. Give me like literally one second. And I should be good. So my dad's had an answering machine ever since apparently 1990 or something like that. And he, uh, it wasn't working anymore.

So he called me to call his answering machine. to see if the answering machine would work, but it doesn't work. So now he has to get another one, and so it's like, oh my god, you know, it's like a whole different situation, right? So yeah, that's basically what I had to do. Anyway, we'll get back to the cinematic. That's it, all right? So my Diablo destroyed the high heavens. It's kind of unfortunate, you know.

were cast down the prime evil damn forever for both of you yeah really that was Kripparian yeah true who was me too after after Kephyr

for both angels and men for mankind's greatest champion the Nephilim Darkness that we in our pride would not face Well, they fix that shit up real quick My brethren, I will take my place among you once again But this time as a mortal since justice has been met this day I will now stand as wisdom

behalf of those who risked all to save us. Forevermore, we shall stand together, angels and men, in the light of this glorious new dawn. Well, that was nice. Yeah. It's pretty good. I mean, unlike the ending of Diablo 3, where it was just like, Yeah, so there's this rock and we fucking destroyed it.

And so, yeah, yeah, it was a bit of it. It was a Disney ending. Yeah, it was. You're right. Diablo, too? Yeah, yeah, whatever. Defeated for a time it seemed. We would know peace.

But then we needed to make it expand. But it was not to be. For Diablo's essence lingers in the black soul stone. I cannot destroy the stone. Nor allow its evil. remain within the heavens and so it must be hidden from the angels pray want they just like throw up in the garbage or something just get rid of it bury it in the backyard so so war ass is here you have done well horadrum yeah this this is him

your service here is finished and you should all that guy is war ass I guess he's right there Holy shit. Go find the nephalift. There he is. He's run away. Yeah, I had no idea. That's crazy. Oh, he says the whole time. There you go. It was badass. The focus is voice.

I mean, he is like the fucking angel of death, right? So what do you expect? Proxy thinks of the five subs. I appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah. That was so fucking cool. Yeah, I guess what why? Watch the Diablo 4 ones now. We might as well. Where is it? Let me see if I can find it. And yeah, I thought this was really cool. I forgot about a couple of these.

I forgot all about the Asmadan Cinematic. I don't know why. I was just like, I totally forgot about it. Let me see if I can find it. Diablo Immortal cinematic? Is Diablo Immortal even part of the canon? I feel like it's not, right? I feel like, yeah, who gives a fuck?

I just feel like Diablo Immortal. So like, I play Diablo Immortal. right? I never got a five-star gym. I only spent like $5,000, so it's not a surprise that I didn't get one. The reason why I stopped playing the game is because the raids were bad. So the campaign for the game was okay. It just felt like, you know what the campaign felt like? It felt like, you know, whenever there's like a really funny comedy movie that came out in like 2004 and they release another one in 2022 and like half of the jokes and half of the content is just like callbacks to the original one that's kind of the way that i felt like with diablo immortal story is it felt like

they were just like using all of the named characters that everybody remembers to just tell a story that's the way that i felt about it so like i didn't quit diablo immortal because it was paid to win i quit it because i didn't think it was that great of a game which is sad i wish it was better here we go that's a spoiler you guys can't see that yet simatic is god here it is that divine wisdom god quiet you got to keep in mind that like all dialogue after about right now, if this was Diablo 2, would have been like, ugh, oh,

yeah, those are the days, right? That's a good thing? I think so, too. I actually think this cinematic would have been better if there was less dialogue. Yeah, if you took out like 90% of the dialogue in this, I think it would be automatic. Are you out of your mind? He's not going to make it. He has to.

Let's get accurate. My ton of it. Text me by divine. Hey, Look at me! All the gold we want is right there. No, I... I just came here for knowledge.

Now, reach the seal. Get us through that door! By three they come. By three, thy way opens. Blood show. So blood is the key The shit He's the key

Fuck, I'll hold them So, it says the blood of the willing, Goh You gotta be kidding me How you walked Help him He's dead already

Fuck him Because you think this is three years old now? Was it? Shame he didn't make Oh well cheer up Gold splits better three ways instead of Doesn't give a thought. It doesn't give a thought.

It must be heading here somewhere. Read this. Oh, no, no, no, no. What about three they come by, three thy way opens by that blood of them. Hail. The creator. Ha! Hail the daughter of...

Oh no, no, no. What about the coin? What's it say? This is forbidden. Forbidden. This is a summoning. I can't speak. Don't lie to me. We came here for treasure. What is this place? I don't know.

Maybe it's a temple. Or two or more. This shit was cool. So well done, yeah. Blessing that crap. The eternal life protects me. The divine wisdom died me. All my path is brought to trial.

Guide my soul to their secretaries. Don't give this. Mission failed success. Yeah. I like how it's back to the roots of... The blood of the willing. Of a few dumbasses just cause the whole game to happen. We call the...

There's three dipshits. It's not a light protects me. That if I must have done to dance me, but my... Open your eyes. It's no light protects me. It's an light here. The darkness for knowledge. Knowledge you seek is here.

Surrender. He'll seek the words, her home. By three, they come. By three, thy way opens. He shouldn't have done this, you know? By the blood of the willing, we call thee home. The ship's so... Hail, daughter of hatred, creator, sanctuary.

Yeah, this shit was so good. Remember whenever they announced this? They gave everybody a warning before they played the trailer. They said, if you don't want to see some grotesque, disgusting shit, turn this off. And as soon as they said that, everybody was like, oh my God, they're about to announce Diablo 4. Yeah, it was some good fucking times, man. I remember I watched this shit whenever it happened. It was so, so good.

because I feel like everybody because like this was after Diablo Immortal already got announced right so like people are like ah you know like so they had to do something crazy like this oh my god

this was fucking good and uh this is the release date trailer this is the last one and then I'll watch some videos about the actual game and she looks way hotter in this one too I can't find a necro build that looks like fun they look like ass That's because they all are ass

Like, I feel like Necromancer is a very good class Like it does a lot of damage It has good utility I just don't think it's fun Straight fucking up Like I don't think the class looks like fun at all It felt like all of the different abilities That Necromancer had

Didn't have very good synergy with each other In the same way like Because I remember whenever I played Sorcerer Even though my Sork Actually did less damage than my NECro I felt like I was doing more damage because I had more control over it and it was just better. Like, Sork was the, Sork, I would say like in terms of playability, Sork would be number one, number two would probably be either barbarian or rogue,

and then number three would be, or I guess number four, right? Because that would be the one would be Nekromancer, and the number like seven or eight would be druid. That's it. I'm going forward. Now I'm going to play Necromancer is going to be my second class, though. After I build my Barbarian, I'm going to play Necromancer. Necromancer minions being nerfed the ship makes the concept less fun.

Well, they did get buffed after they got nerfed, so we're going to have to see what they're like now at endgame. All right, here we go. Intense violence, blood and gore. All right. I thought this one was really good, too. Is this Prava? The girl from the Act 1? It is? I kind of assumed so, but I didn't know.

This was just the coolest shit, man. The first time you see Anarius, he's just staring at a picture of himself. Yeah, that was really fucking cool. Oh man, they like each other? Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking, man. Like it, uh... You know, well, that's kind of like what happens with the out as again it's like diablo too just some stupid ass shit happened why did it happen

why does anything happen yeah that's it he tried to fix her yeah see guys it doesn't work even in a game oh my god yeah i remember this shit was so badass of the angel landing yeah i just bro like some of these trailers were so good man like especially like the anarius landing shit Oh my God. It was so good. He got fucked in divorce court? Yeah, apparently. Imagine being poor and having to wait four more days.

I don't have to imagine it. All I have to do is go to my Reddit and read all the posts about it. Yeah, I don't need to imagine that at all. Yeah, it's pretty easy to imagine. You just go read about it. No, I know people are pissed off about that. I get that. I mean, I would be pissed off too.

Honestly, I had to wait to play the game. game. Like this is what I said. I said it before. I say it again. Is that early access to play a fucking game three days ahead of time is annoying. It's cringe. It's stupid. And I don't like it. But if I ever made a game, I would do it. Because it is so profitable. Millions of people end up buying it. They can't control themselves. It doesn't really affect the game at all that much in the long run. Who cares? And you make a ton of money. So it's like, I can see, like, I agree that it's bad, but like, damn, it is, that's a lot of money. Like, there's no way you wouldn't do that, right?

Is that stupid? I'm desperate? Yeah, I know, man. I know, I know. Holy shit, man. Imagine thinking you can afford a AAA game on release and still thinking you're poor because you don't get the early days. Yeah, that's true. That's actually a very good point.

I never even thought of that. But yeah, you're right. Oh, man. This is the way I see like with Diablo, right? Is that I just hope that like over time they're able to add more content into the game and each season adds onto the game rather than just kind of takes away from it or just like replaces something in the game. I think that's one thing that POE did really, really well.

And I just wish that's something that they would do again.
