I agree but its seem silly considering that blizzard has enough resources experience and time too make those "break the mold" classes all the time.

and i agree they just have to be fun too play i am still getting diablo 3 and more then likely will play as all the classes but it wont be the same as playing 5 unique game play styles....

How can you say that they aren't unique? Does the Barb have a combo system? That alone makes it unique compared to the others.

The last class will be ranged - that is certain. I'm guessing a mix between a Druid and an Amazon. Probably a Ranger or something.

Seems to be pretty unique to me compared with the other 3 classes - much faster than the Barbarian but still fragile. Has combo moves which i'm pretty sure the Barb does not have and also uses Holy Magic..

It's like saying the Pally, Assassin and Barb in D2 were the same just because they were both melee characters.

I do agree that they could've done something a bit more creative and unique, but eh. The videos I have seen of the Monk have been badass. The combo system is unlike anything we saw in Diablo 2.

I really don't want to believe that it's 2 years from release. Ewww.

And that's being optimistic

Reality sucks, I know.

They will never, in a million years, release 3 games in one year (2010)

I still don't get why you expected originality when the other classes = Wizard and Barbarian. Wizard is the most unimaginative thing ever. The skills each class has, however, seem to be pretty original.

I reckon the Barb should be noticably bigger/taller physically than the other characters to distinguish it

can you point out how his game play is any different too any other monk in other games, what does the diablo monk do (gameplay) that is so different that you think he is unique.

When I usually think 'Monk' I think 'healing class' but the guy in D3 seems to have no healing spells (or a very limited amount). He seems more like the Assassin mixed with some Dragon Ball Z character than anything. Maybe a bit like those characters off Avatar: The Last Airbender too haha.

Darn.. I was hoping I'd still be a teenager when this game came out.. Hah

It's kind of scary to think i'll be about 22 when it comes out when I was 15 or so when I was addicted to D2.

They wont release the demo 2 years before the game is to be released

I think that balancing all of the skill rune stuff will take pretty damn long and I don't think they've really started with that.

Ah, good point. I don't like it either by the way. Takes you out of the game and makes it harder to see what the monster looks like.

For some reason the red outline was only on one of the demos? In everything else I have seen there has been no red outline to speak of. e.g. this 12 min vid

The longer, 12 minute video split in two parts where you can see the 4 classes working together (all HD)
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PvrgG4T0yU

The red outline reminds me of old Baldur's Gate games and also Jagged Alliance haha.

I reckon the Barb will be better against bosses and in PvP.

This is hands down the best video I have seen of Diablo 3 gameplay. It's just awesomely chaotic.

I would say that Blizzard have integrity etc. and they wouldn't make us pay for b.net but in my opinion that integrity means nothing now they have joined up with Activision. Activision is worse than EA. Nothing would suprise me now.

There are bloody healing globes and potions - there is no need for a healing class that no one really wants to play.

I, for one, think the gameplay videos of the Monk look amazing. I think that out of all of the 4 characters they've really nailed the perception of him being powerful with his skills. They just look and sound badass.

Since when were they trying to be original? Wizard? Barbarian? Not exactly original ideas.

I liked the gameplay video of the Monk (i'm hoping it will just be a mix of Assassin/Paladin) but the other cut-scene trailer was really quite terrible. Didn't remind me of Diablo at all and has no distinctive art direction.
