I know it's the beta but it seems impossible to die, and the inventory is way too big while items don't take up much space. It makes inventory management less tedious, but having little space and items taking up a lot of space in the original prevented people from picking up everything and becoming too rich. Also, the game looks silly. You can see everything, nothing is as dark and gothic as the first two. The Cathedral looked evil and scared me shitless, now it's just an regular old church.

@cgmetallica1981 You're correct, it's very difficult to die in the Beta, especially as the Barbarian. I've rarely died, but when I have, it's mostly as a spellcaster class (Wizard and Witch Doctor). As for the graphics, I don't know what to say, I think it's simply because of the smoothness of the 3D models that makes it look a little more cartoony. If they add a few shaders, maybe more fog and make the environment look a little more grim, it could recapture the Diablo feel.

@cgmetallica1981 and in D2 on easy it was the same but as u progress u will see that u will die every 5 mins in the inferno so dont u worry about that :D

[cgmetallica1981]

Watching this video got me excited for Diablo III again. I've been worrying it's becoming more similar to World of Warcraft than to Diablo II, can you give your honest opinion about that? Thanks, and nice video.

@cgmetallica1981 I understand where you're coming from. During the first phases of the Beta I thought D3 would resemble WoW on a few key factors. The last patch deterred me from that thought. They returned to some key elements that made Diablo II, well, Diablo II. They are simply adding some new things (As all games should) to Diablo III. They've inspired themselves on a few WoW ideas, but it's their game and they seemed to have made it work out pretty well. I'm fine with it!

great vid. but one correction: As a barb you also gain fury when you destroy barrels or stumps. But as a monk you don't gain spirit. This is due to the fact that spirit is not decreasing over time while fury is. So you can keep your fury up if you detroy things.

[B1naryCha0s]

@mathewolf Oh really!? My bad then :/ I'll check that out.

great to see the new patch in motion. But hey seriously, do u think anyone who watches theese vids need an explanation of what a barbarian is ? ;D

[B1naryCha0s]

@lechihuahua1 Hmm no you're right, they don't. I guess it's a force of habit :P.

nice video but your mic sound is very piercing and high pitched would be cool if you could smooth it out a bit thanks! so far im enjoying your videos =D

[B1naryCha0s]

@xXgothgirlXx Hmmm, the only part where I could see it's High pitched is at the start of the video. The rest is kind of my normal voice :/. I'll play with the mic options, see if I can lower it a little.
