- Meine Brüder sind nicht umsonst gestorben! blizzard.com/games/d2/
Ihr habt die Schreckensherrschaft von Diablo ein Ende gesetzt, aber eine neue Bedrohung wartet bereits auf euch. Baal, der letzte der Obersten Übel, ist in die eisigen Hochlande des Nordens geflohen und ihr müsst ihn verfolgen, um die Welt vor ewiger Verderbtheit zu schützen. Erkundet die schneeverwehte Heimat der Barbaren, stellt euch grausamen neuen Gegnern und greift dabei auf tausende neue Waffen, Rüstungen und magische Gegenstände zurück, um den Herr der Zerstörung aufzuhalten! - Hry
"So who should we send to confront Baal and his gigantic army of demons? Madawc the Guardian, with his fearsome flying axes? Korlic the Protector, who leaps into the fray with the fury of his ancestors? Talic the Defender, he of the redoubtable shield and whirling blades?"
"...I guess they're busy. Okay, send out Martin the Accountant."
arent they like statues or somtjhin
They are busy bein a statue.
Oh and don't forget to lower the drawbridge, we don't want to look rude by forcing them to use siege equipment for crossing that bottomless chasm!
It's probably more the case that the Barbarians knew a fight was coming, so they sent out the weakest of the lot - an old man, not known for battle prowess - so that the more capable fighters could get tooled up and prepared.
...and we know how that went.
@@ChainsawGutsFuck Bridge lowering question still stands...
blizzards old depiction of hell and evil was prime, and bone deep.
hi
that wasn't blizzard it was blizzard north, aka old condor studios
I feel you. Illidan, the Light and the Void in Legion
Everything in the 90s was more real and deep ! Now its just cartoons
no such thing as prime or deep or not, doesn't matter
1:24 favorite scene. Baal presents himself as a human sovereign would, with elaborate cloth, banners, and ceremony. Showing that he has permeated and corrupted civilization along his journey to Mount Arreat, and has made a travesty of them.
Does anyone know the name of this song at the end?
says that blizzard only created it for them, for the trailer.
More like Human Civilization has tainted him in a way. As why would a Demon have elaborate tapestries of sewn cloth?
It'd be blood, sinew, and flesh.
@@Armageist Because he's mocking humanity. Baal seems to be the jokester of the brothers, this whole sequence is for his amusement.
"okay... we need someone to go stand in front of the baals army and tell baal to fuck off... alone"
Osman Sürücü Alone or an army doesnt matter... if u we're not a champion of the light or an angel no one stand a chance.
Osman Sürücü they probably told him that they wouldn't shut the door on him if he did it.
baal closed the door on him. notice how he fiddles with his gem for a moment, closes the door, raises the wind and implodes him.
I don't think he actually took his terms into consideration...
I think he did....briefly
Well he didn't. That said, Baal did take his *position* into consideration.
Granting him a quick death was his only act of mercy XD
LOL XD
Yeah he did. He tested those term with that spell (or whatever it was). If he would survive then he would propably go away.
Twenty years later these cinematics still look amazing.

D2 - desaturated, dark, metallic, cold, wet, gory, brutal, aesthetic, immersive, indifferent. Yes please.
you forgot Gothic, war lord, dreary, dreadful, grunge, slimy, grimy, relentless, burning hell, dark caves, soulless empire, demonic,
your wish is granted
The difference between the first two Diablo's and the third is that your character used to not matter. You were just following along the travelers trail of destruction as narrated from the perspective of his travel companion. You were constantly too late, and when you finally caught up with them you made a mistake and was scolded by Tyrael. These days you're the ultimate-super-ultra-mega-hero, destined to become stronger than Hell and Heaven combined, which completely removes the grittiness and bleakness from the story. Also they keep humanizing previously ethereal, ambiguous characters, demystifying the world.
wow......so true
Can't disagree with this at all.
I loved the sortof vague references to the Dark Wanderer all throughout the game and the fact that you're playing a wannabe who is going to get involved with the likes of possessed Tal Rasha, and the corrupted Zakarum, and the barbarians guarding Mount Arreat. Pretty much most of the people in town are like "You're gonna die out there, chump."
Also, the pure torture that the warrior from D1 and Tal Rasha sign up for... so dark.
D3 didn't have enough simple gravity. Everything was turned up to 11.
The other side to it is that fighting evil clearly had a cost. Being a hero was actually legitimately hard and costly.
The original trio from D1 all wound up either dead, corrupted into serving the evils they had once battled against, or both. And the Warrior himself not only fell, but actually became the vessel for the very evil he had helped to slay, thus furthering the malign goals of the Prime Evils.
The Prime Evils weren't just a group of demon bosses for the player to take down in an epic boss battle: they were these menacing, terrifying entities that manipulated you into serving their ends. They preferred to work their evil from the shadows and manipulate people and events in their favour, but when forced to fight proved to be terrifying foes. And you never truly defeated them, at best, your actions were more of a holding action against the will of the Prime Evils. You could kill them, but their deaths were never permanent and it was only a matter of time before they returned.
But, paradoxically, this made your characters feel all the more meaningful in some respects: you fight hard against a horrific supernatural evil, knowing full well that your own death is a possibility, but you do it because someone has to do it and the Prime Evils will rampage throughout the world unchecked otherwise.
It made your hero feel *vulnerable* which was distinctly not a feeling in D3 where you just go around winning one epic battle after another and easily dispatching the Prime Evils.
Very well put, alway feel like I was fighting a loosing battle. End of D1 - Warrior had to sacrifice himself but we all know how it'd turn out if you stuck the soulstone into your head. End of D2 - Baal roam free and it was all in his planning. End of D2 Exp - Destruction of the worldstone, after winning the fight against the Lord of Destruction. We may have won the battles but the Prime Evils seems to have always won the war against us. A never ending conflict between heaven and hell.
your character doesnt matter but you kill diablo ok bud
Baal's voice and his accent are amazing.
I'm here to clean my eyes right after watching the new diablo on blizzcon 2018.
Me too
Its sad though. We will never get the old diablo again. Its now all cartoonish and light-hearted in comparison.
......And even moving to fucking MOBILE!! Blizzard wants to milk all the whales.
Same here, brother, same here...
Exactly! Blizzard has signed the deathwarrent of the entire franchise with this mobile bullshit. Sellouts!
yeah clean ur eyes with dirt like d2
I’m here to praise Lilith’s uncle from Diablo 4!
Lol.... same here
yessir
Me to Diablo Immortal:
“Well, it seems like your terms are not acceptable.”
And then Dark orbs of Light swarm the Blizzard staff on stage entering their bodies and exploding while the cameras roll xD
Baal holding his hand out to stop his own echo is the single most badass thing I've ever seen.
Agreed. Still holds up super well yo this day. I miss the old Diablo games, where they introduced a demon menace that actually was scary.
It was a magic spell, but yeah, that's badass as F
@@Yokai_Yuri Baal is looking at his own nails while waiting for the echo to discipate. I always found his burlesque and self-aggrandizing personality to be charismatic.
Does anyone know the name of this song at the end?
says that blizzard only created it for them, for the trailer.
He didn't hold out his hand to stop the echo he held out his hand to admire his long finger nails until the echo stopped.
I find Baal to be the most intimidating of the 3 Prime Evils. He's so weird and eerie, and has a way about him that makes you feel quite uneasy.
Because unlike his brothers, who do not fuck around, Baal *loves* to fuck with people in the most horrifying ways possible before he kills them. Either through physical pain or destroying their very soul, he likes to have fun and make it slow for his victims.
Da1337Man
I think you got it wrong. Baal clearly not the kind who fuck around. He is the lord of destruction. If it didn't explode, it burns. The one who fuck around would be Mephisto, being the lord of hatred, would always go for the long con, corrupting souls. Diablo is a mix between the 2.
Actually i heard once that its actually Mephisto who tends to go with the short term plans, while Diablo as you may have noticed, always plans 5 steps ahead. The entire first game was you being played like a fiddle by Diablo himself. He never intended to keep King Leroic's younger son as his vessel, it was just a temporary body. That's why he lured you into the catacombs so he could corrupt you with the soulstone. His true end goal was to destroy/corrupt Heaven itself beyond saving, and he would have succeeded had the characters of D3 not been OP as hell. I think Baal is the mix between the two. He certainly seemed to be getting his jollies off from fucking shit up, but not even Tyrael could predict what his ultimate plan was until it was too late.
Maybe, but given that Diablo is the Lord of Terror, I think he is the best one out of the three.
In the lore that was created for this game, it's actually said that his aura of Terror was so pervasive that even his brothers were made terrified of him.
Goes to show exactly how powerful he is.
he's called the lord of destruction for a reason ;)
mephisto got the brains, diablo got the strength and baal got the jester.
They all got brains and brawn. Baal was unique in that he enjoyed his work. The others conquered as a job.
Well said!
I prefer this one more, Baal’s expression is so good here comparing to D2R.
How did they manage to loose all nuance . .
@@RuslanLagashkin its the color baal in resurrected has too much color
@@samuelkdu Yeah, that too . . I've re-watched the original and there Baal cherishes his stone, looking like he is trying to do things accurately, create wind without affecting/hurting the man, and never expresses any effort, which gives a sense of how powerful he is and how futile is opposing him . . in the original he "dances" slightly on his legs, giving a playful jester feeling of knotting a web of intrigue . . while in remake he stomps in the end, like he needs to establish his alpha-status and does stone magic with visible effort, which altogether portrays him as a yet another generic evil boss. And the color . . in the original he was other-wordly, alien being, while in the remake it looks like an actor wearing over-the-top generic zombie costume . . Such subtleties which contribute to certain expression of an episode altogether is what differs a touch of genius from an average decently done job.
@@RuslanLagashkin No Soul, and no idea what they are doing.
Yeah I agree
I must've watched 02:31 - 02:41 100 times. He is so eerie by being silent and just watching the whole time. That "enough" was so hardcore, from 0 to 100 in 1 second.
I dunno why. I feel d2 is much scarier than d3, either by the plot or the game play. There is just something missing in d3 I can't tell.
i think it has something to do with the art style, the method of the art capturing is similar to the old mortal combat games, regardless of the intention of making it scary, it gives that unsettling vibe
wow such a brave boy...go tell your mom
michael wong lol scarrier? :::chuckles:::
its the Art in Diablo 3 that doesn't make it look scary heck they should follow the dark theme like Spawn. For example more Skulls and head-pikes.
oh yes and diablo 2 has even now a highres patch...you can play it in 1920x1080!
Imagine the remastered version of this gem. Can't fuckin wait.
It seems your terms... are acceptable.
@@Steve-sp4rx the whole Act IV cinematic. From Marius' fear, Mephisto's speech, Baal casually standing there while Diablo transforms, and the Lord of Terror's return to Hell.
@@kennethmaniquis9642 don’t forget reforged tho
@@rufusgt4774 I haven't played Reforged so I have no personal opinion about that. I'm just hoping for the best.
@@kennethmaniquis9642 I hope they release Diablo 2 resurrected this year. Because you know they just said the year it can be easy delayed to 2022.
Poor Baal. He is laughing alone. All the monster around him don´t even speak or understand anything he is saying
He's the only audience he needs.
That's okay. They are just props and decor to Baal.
The demons understand and speak English in diablo 2. You can hear some of them speak phrases I think
His brothers can hear him through the soulstone
Nevermind. Demons absolutely don't speak a word of English in the game.
2:40 Best "Enough!" line ever :)
Una de cele mai bune, desigur 👍
Awesome
Awesome
Baal is my fav prime evil, each brother is evil in their own way, i noticed how baal seems more patient and somehow vicious with his enemies: he let them talk ( for Marius he listened to him, talked to him and asked him the stone instead of just kill him and take the stone right away like maybe his bros would do. same with this scene, he stops his army and listens to the poor guy even if he knows he still gonna get what he wants, he's like, playing with the enemy, its just a personality that makes him special !
which is interesting since he is the lord of destruction and most beings with destruction in the name are brutes who just go for the attack but this guy is completely different
indeed, he's maybe slowly destructive lol but at the end anyway he does destroy eveything ...but ur right ! ;)
Well...in Canaanite religion "Ba'al" was a title...which (like the term demon, from Greek "Daimon" meaning "Spirit" - Socrates had a Daimon) was demonized/made occult in Christian religion. Ba'al meaning "Prince/Lord" in Ugaritic.
...that one reason Canaanites were overthrown was because they treated Israelites as second class...the design shows some awareness of the origins.
It's interesting, because in his biography in the D2 manual and even in D3, he's said to be less intelligent than his brothers and less patient. Mephisto is the cunning one. Diablo is a mix of cunning and brutality, which is why he's usually the strongest of the three.
It's likely that Baal gained more intelligence and patience because his host is Tal Rasha.
1:57
Cheng, preparing to give his Blizzcon 2018 presentation...
Fun fact. That's not Baal's real face. That is actually Tal Rasha's face and Baal made a mask out of it.
How do you know this?
All diablo prime evils needed a host inside Sanctuary as they become temporary souls while inside it. Not to mention High heavens and Trag'oul didn't want them in. So they had to find their way in through someone's soul to discreetly bypass protectors. Here are there respective list of their legendary hosts:
Mephisto - Que-Hegan Sankekur or Great Patriarch Sankekur. Mephisto somehow managed to corrupt the Travincal councils and Sankekur himself even in complete captivity and used the councils to mafia the vote for the next Zakarum pope which eventually becomes Sankekur. Then he possesses Sankekur to have full control of Zakarum religion.
Diablo - The hero of Diablo 1 series failed to do one thing after killing the manifested diablo that resulted from Lazarus' finished work. ( Lazarus was a Zakarumite priest that was sent by Mephisto to free his brother Diablo in tristram ). The hero failed to destroy the stone and instead kept it, hence the gradual possession of the hero.
Baal - Prodigal mage named Tal'rasha was handpicked by Horadrim itself to pursue a breach of a powerful soul that entered Sanctuary, which was Baal. Baal fought with Trag'oul on its way inside which made him weak and wounded. Tal'rasha was Baal's captor but was forced to be locked with him in a prison cause Baal partially destroyed the stone that would lock Baal and selflessly used his own heart as a replacement for Baal's prison.
@@Mr.McMuffins good explanation, but Tal'rasha volunteered and did so "selflessly", not "selfishly".
@@Ctrekoz woopsies. My bad. I stand correct 👌. Must've been a quick head-to-hand typo 😅
Baal here looks and gestures far more better here
This makes me feel really sad. The Diablo world used to be so dark and twisted. But Diablo 3 feels like a corny Disney plot with some blood splashes on the walls to make up for it.
It's not that bad.
If you think Asmodan's home is Disney, we didn't watch the same Disney movies...
I liked all three Diablo games. :)
gameplay, leveling system and univers
D3 was effectively Disnified due to the influence of Activision in 2008. The Blizzard-Activision team said the merger wouldn't affect creative control of games but games haven't been the same since.
true
I blame WoW. After that game really picked up, their other series started to emulate it's presentation, and style.
I prefer the story of Diablo 2 because Mephisto and Baal
I love how Diablo in D2 was something you could really fear. Not the new diva-diablo.
hahaha, so true
I as well, it was darker an dhad a larger aura of evil and fear with it. D3 looks like a modern fantasy movie with all flashy lights and CGI action.
best diablo was the first one
Michelino Sports no
In d3 I've never felt the grim and darkness that of d2, in fact, I saw delightful colours and joys, well done blizzard wow team
Idk, The part where Leah turns into Diablo saying "Even in the heart of heaven, Angels can still feel fear." was and INCREDIBLE cutscene. That's as close as it got for me. The rest of the game though, Not even close.
same problem like in Starcraft 2
The part where she turns into a hourglass shaped female diablo who walks like a model on a podium? Yeah, that was terrifying alright...
+NinJia as a long time Diablo fan and someone who regularly playes d3 I agree. I can't really put my finger on what is the reason but d2 seemed a lot darker in general. D3 seems more "cartoony"
NinJia that's my biggest gripe with Diablo 3 as well. that and the dumbing down of the leveling and skill system.
At 3:44 - 4:03 , the demons around him could have literally laughed with him and said "Good one" and it still would have retained a dark atmosphere, that's how well done these cinematics were. I hope the resurrected ones can keep the same atmosphere despite having superior modern visuals.
Does anyone know the name of this song at the end?
says that blizzard only created it for them, for the trailer.
What I like particularly about Baal's design, is that they've given homage to his description in Goethia. He was described as a spider whith a face of human, wearing a crown, frog and dog. Here his legs are crablike, and other part of his body looks sort of amphibical with all that tentacles, so yeah, good job, Blizzard.
Baal used many magic spells

Diablo 3 never brought fear into my heart. But Diablo 2..... I'm a Roman Catholic and when I see this.... thing. Everything in this game engulfed fear and terror into me. There are things in this world that humanity still has no idea of. And that fear is one of them. Baal's subtle in a way that many viewers don't understand. He is what a demon should be in Diablo 3.
>Baal's subtle in a way that many viewers don't understand
What do you mean? Can you explain better?
Or could it be that the time gap between the games was 12 YEARS and you might have grown up a bit so you're not as afraid of any game, anymore? I also like Diablo 3 less than both D1 and D2, and I find D1 to be even scarier than D2, but your comment seems exaggerated
The Diablo franchise is supposed to be terrifying, dark, and adult rated.
Demon worshipper confirmed. If anyone knows this man, cast him into the flames.
'I agree , Diable in D3 acted just like a big beast. And those angels look like they came from "Transformer movies"
This is probably one of the best Cinematics in video game history.
Agreed.
I haven't played d2 in many years but this scene still sticks in my mind and today I just had to rewatch it.
I'm old school, this internet cafe expansion was my thing
Did anyone else notice that this cutscene was way more beautiful than the other ones Diablo 2 had before the expansion?
I mean, I know both are old, but its a pretty big jump in how they look if you compare it side-by-side
Because it was done by 3dsmax 4 (instead of version 3). It had HSDS (basically a better way to sculpt detailed faces for example), redone IK (better character movements) and rendering features (filters, post-production). Version 4 was a blast. Blizzard probably used every feature to its limit.
+SmartK8 Oh, that explains it. And yea, whenever they make these games, they will push the cutscenes to their limit, making some of the most beautiful ones I've ever had the pleasure of seeing.
Well, the RENDER quality is good.
Animation is stiff and dogshit by today's standards.
Just means they left the computers running longer.
Yeah the faces still look really off though even though the animation is better
His face when he realizes the doors closing and he's stuck in there with Baal 😂😂😂
Oh, that scream at the end!)
Really creepy sends chills
This is from 2001... and it still gives me nerd-chills. Baals animation is incredible.
I mean i watched the World of warcraft movie on a 4k screen but it still isn`t as great as this.
(well yes it is but there is a 16 year difference)
Also, i get a nerd-gasm whenever i listen to the Final Fantasy 8 soundtrack (... the ending... uuuuuhh my guuuud..)
( aaaand the opening...uuuuhhhh)
Diablo 2 was Darker, just almost as Diablo 1. The Dark plot , the Dark twist of the story, the Dark atmosphere and literally the Dark Fog makes these games scarier than Diablo 3. The Noises, the Audio, the Screams of terror and desperation, the music is amazing... Everything is a masterpiece. You will never know what twisted ending will come even when you are at the side of the Light...
This scene alone destroys D3
Fucking hell yeah!
its a great scene but deablo 3 is better over all .for 2 big reasons 1 the skill tree . even thow i really like the skill tree there is no way to reset the points and being that it takes almost a year to get a hero to 60 i dont think people will want to start new heros every few months because thay misplaced a point on the skill tree . the pvp itself . there is no way to stop someone from declaring war on you when thay get into the game and you cant stop them from gaurding your body after they beat you the only way to stop this is to play a locked game . if you needed a bonus reason the stash . in deablo 3 you have a shared stash between all your heros you have to make a game and jump between heros if that is possible to trade stuff or just sell it . seablo 2 is still a good game its just game play wise deablo 3 is buy miles better
There is a way to reset skills&stats point for however many times you want, and lvling to 60 takes litteraly less than 1 day, so yeah nice points there lol.
saur2244 In Diablo 2, you can save & quit and you'll get your gear back in the next game. Also you can reach end game in D2 in a single day if you want. But IMO the journey to the endgame is more enjoyable. Also, if you don't like people joining your game, you have the option to play private games. There is also the offline single player that doesn't exist in D3 which is great. And finally there is actual trading in Diablo 2.
Diablo 3 was all about removing as many features and options as possible. It just sucks, it has no depth at all and everything you do before level 70 is pointless. It's all about Greater rifts. And to make any progress there, you need to use a stupid set which forces a playstyle on you. In D2, most builds were viable for end game.
Latest versions of D2 allow for stats/skills reset (once per difficulty per character) or any amount of time if you gather the essences from act bosses.
DarkSim64 all good points and at least thay are trying to fix the problems in the game but you still cant change your points at any time you want like you can in deablo 3 and in deablo 2 it is basically mandatory that if you dont want your hero to be attacked buy other players you HAVE TO play a private game . they fixed that in deablo 3 . they could have added that in deablo 2 and i dont know why they dont . its been over a year from the last time i played deablo 2 . it is true that they should have keped the auction house to trade stuff if they want . it will give players a chance to get cool stuff and support a game they like .also deablo 3 is still really dark . it may not be as dark but still really dart . i think you can adjust that in setting as well
"19 echoes, a new personal best"
This epicness can never ever be even closely repeated
Diablo 4 did justice for last year's comedy
Hope dies last
LoV 91zA1 oh worship our great mother
Yo, last year's cinematic was pretty dope.
@@MrShadowThief don't you have phone?
I don't get it.
I miss the old Diablo atmosphere.... Diablo 3 was just in the name Diablo, the world is not. I play today Diablo 1 sometimes, because it has the "FEELING", like a world which teared apart from terror.....
I like this intro so much (particularly the music and sound in the end), and watch it so many times.
Wow that was brutally unexpected ! 20 years old and still looking good !
It’s still breathtaking as it was 20 years ago!
Does anyone know the name of this song at the end?
says that blizzard only created it for them, for the trailer.
“ENOUGH” shows Baals power in a unique way, his voice just SLAPPING against each mountain face again and again. Deafeningly loud, the guard’s feigned courage instantly decimated. 🔥
Still the absolute best. The original team for diablo was the only team fit for making the third and blizzard fucked it up.
ENOUGH!!!!
What happened?
The original team for D1 & 2 were the driving force and it was their creation along with implementation of Battle.net originally for D1! They all moved on in one way or another from the company. No more grueling combat / 3 in-depth tech tree's giving build diversity in a strained gothic world rich with lore it all complimented itself soundtrack too. It's hard to tell what is going on most the time in full coop it becomes an arcade laser light show non stop in D3. What a letdown.
ShutoStriker All cinematics in Blizzard published games were made by Blizzard's in house cinematics team. If you listen to interviews with David Brevik, Condor or Blizzard North developed the game in conjunction with Blizzard and Blizzard provided them with the cinematics for their games. The ending for Diablo 1 was supposed to be a happy ending but the cinematics team made a very dark ending. When Condor received the cinematics they were shocked at how the cinematic went but later agreed that the darker ending suited the game very well and built Diablo 2's story around it. The studios were brothers in arms, both teams benefited heavily from the partnership. I think people should listen to interviews with David Brevik more to shine a light on what development actually was like. Diablo was supposed to be a turn based RPG but Blizzard wanted Condor to make it real time. If not for Blizzard's input and funding Diablo would not be the same.
...enough...enough...enough..enough..enough...
Diablo 3 hasnt ever reached this peak of quality and entertainment :(
Marily's Manson Personality in its whole glory.
3:54 I like how the flags turn to announce the attack to the troops.
They turn to stop the army of dead running into them like a goose :) Kinda embarrassing to see the army all tangled up in flags after making such a bravado performance... it would end up being like a Goofy movie.....
*_ENOUGH!!_*
Ashcandy
someone should yelled that during the Blizzcon 2018 when they announce that god awful Immortal
My favorite part of the intro. Still chilling and powerful when Baal delivers that single line.
One of the best intros to any video game
I'm 20 years old and this cut scene still freaks me out a bit. That's what D3 missed.
This will never get old!
Baal silencing his own echo is still the most impressive thing, which has happened in diablo
2016: it's been 15 years already. Wow, I feel old.
19 years now bet you feel even older now ☹️
That is way better than the resurrected version.
Every line by Baal is perfect. I am so hyped for the remake.
I always found Baal silencing his demonic echo so diabolical, brilliant cinematography
Much better than remaster.
agreeeeee
The environmental textures of the remaster cinematic for this part are leagues better, but Baal's face looks like he planted it in some kind of berry pie, and the gestures aren't as menacing. It fails to capture his psychopathic behavior the way this one does. Also, I like the lighting in the old one more, and the demon fowl that fly overhead.
when baal see diablo immortal coming out .... 2:38 ....
Underrated comment right here
This awesomeness can never be repeated... Nothing comes even close to the cinematic, acting and score...
I feel D2 has the feeling of darkness, mysterious and unpredictable theme.I feel this emotion only in ACT5 for Malthal.
When Blizzard presents Diablo Immortal and explaining the “significant”
Baal: ENOUGH!! I shall take your game...into consideration.
*Kills everyone involves in the development of Diablo Immortal*
Baal: Heh heh. Well it seems your new game is not acceptable.
*Continues to laugh in Baal*
Baal was an excellently written demon. He loved to not only to destroy, but to torment his victims. The reason he asked nicely for the stone wasn't for the sake of subterfuge, he wanted to CRUSH the hopes of that man. He listened to the man at the gate, not to give him hope, but watch the terror in his eyes while the man faced down Baal.
AHHAHAAHA brilliant :D
Diablo 2 is still my fave, hopefully Diablo 4 is good also
Good like new Transformers films, just gets better and better! Lol
Just watched Diablo 4 trailer and had to see this again, at last we are getting back to the roots
When I was a teenager I was always waiting for a battle between forces of evil and good, like in ACT3 or ACT4 of original. But as I grow up I decided it's a work of art, there is one thing i'd add to the intro is some kind of battle where barbarians is loosing the battle or recede, but it was a good representation of evil in a flesh. And as always Blizzard North was ahead of time with their unique stylistics, the perfect game with a great replay-ability and high level gameplay
The end of this cinematic is soo dark and agonizing... I love it.
army of hell stand in front of the gate, connect bridge, genius.
I am here after watching stranger things4 victor creel jail scene when he says " you dont know anything", that voice reminded me of Baal 2:38
Diablo 3 was a good game that made many great steps forward for the series. Pity they took a handful of giant steps back.
Still better then Diablo 3
BLASPHEMY!!!
*than
the only blasphemy is that they call a game where they added rainbow unicorn fun-time land a diablo game, even walking halberd-wielding mooing bovine are more terrifying than diablo 3+
I will admit though, diablo 3 had a nice cinematic with Diablo Invading Heaven.....
Diablo 3 is a good game, don't be salty.
I can't take this as seriously knowing that Baal's voice actor is the same as Moneybags in Spyro 2.
"I shall take your position into consideration for... a small fee."
ahhh......brings back so many memories.. played from v1.07 - v1.13
Give that guy a raise!
...Oh, he's dead. Nevermind...
Give that guy's family a nice gift basket!
Remember when Blizzard knew their stuff?
Man this makes me feel old af. I remember having JAH ITH BER on my set. Those were the days running bone necro tp’n everywhere. Speed running the game.
cannot wait for remastered version of this in september
When they put Baal in HOTS, 1 of his ults obviously has to be "ENOUGH!" with a global silence and this exact sound byte :P
Still not clear why would anyone link the bridge.
Best cinematic ever, GO GO GO RESURRECTED !!
What's with all the banners at the front, though? And on Baal's throne. Always wondered.
Who after Carbot?
Remember when Diablo bosses DIDN'T skype call you every 2 minutes to taunt you about how you'll totally never defeat them?
Can't wait to see the updated version when the remaster comes out
Yo! Here we are a day before Remaster launches and I am MAD fucking hype for this cutscene again. Long live Baal!
Ah, the good old days of blizzard. D2, Warcraft orcs & humans, blackthorne. amazing
I shall take your position, into consideration
1:07 : Maybe the most clever move in term of strategy !
Send an emissary to ask the ennemies to go away and at the same time, prepare the bridge to help them to invade your own city.
Greetz to all who watching this after the new diablo 4 trailer !! even this trailer back in that time was awesome
Everyone! Listen to Baal's laughter.. It's almost exactly the same laugh as Joker uses after he kills Murray in the "Joker" movie. Compare them together :D
What's the name of the song that plays after Baal says "your terms are not exceptable"?
i am courious to
s o ami
Acceptable ***************
Cant wait to see the remastered version of this at D2 resurrected
gives me chills before,
until now :)
Bail in my opinion is more threatening then his brother
Almost 20 years, still enjoyable!
Baal alone made this game 10x better. What a great character.
I remember as a kid seeing this for the first time entering Act 5.
i love how baal make a joke just before ripping apart this poor old man!
