When did you last play Diablo 3? The big deal now is Greater Rifts which are exactly what you're describing. They start at level 1 and currently the top players are around level 60 I think, and they can continue indefinitely.
Like a year and a half ago, so wow yeah that's new to me. I did unironically enjoy D3 so I'll give that another shot then. I tried PoE way back when to but it never grabbed me like D2 or Marvel Heroes did. Good suggestions, thanks guys.

This post probably contains a Rickroll link!
Diablo 3 right now is insanely better than it was even when RoS came out so yeah get on it. The only real issue I have with current D3 is that the sets are so powerful that if you want to advance in Greater Rifts you're pretty much forced to stick with sets and follow their playstyle (some of which are very gimmicky) instead of just dicking around with abilities that you think are fun or cool looking. But you can always opt out of the insane progression game if you want.

i kinda wanna try diablo but poe is free and is also really good

i still play marvel heroes occasionally but the community got bad and the devs have been loving up more than usual recently

I'm in the same camp, I havent gotten hands-on on d3 and wasn't sure - so I never pulled the trigger. Does that poo poo even go on sale, barring key resllers? Do any of them routinely have good deals? Does Blizzard have a hardon for those keys?

Problem with Marvel Heroes is that its beyond bloated. They just keep bolting poo poo on endlessly and it makes it obnoxious to go back if you ever stop playing. Its a fun game otherwise.

Although they are still listed on the London and Tokyo stock exchange, and that delisting only applied to their pachinko division in NY, which was safer to just dump and refund shareholders than risk bad news leading to their stock going down and then being dumped.

I remember that sick-rear end animated Berserk trailer that everyone got super hyped about because there hasn't been a good Berserk game in like forever, which then turned out to be an ad for a Berserk pachinko machine.

If you want to read the conversation that happened it's here. For those not familiar with 4chan or the archive, hovering over the post numbers where it says 'quoted by' will pop up peoples' responses. Quite a few of the responses were sincere concern, but there was also a lot of trolling. All of the responses after Apr 7 were made after Rachel's suicide.

edit: Apparently Rachel's ask.fm was more likely of a deciding factor because of poo poo like this. But nobody can really know for sure I guess.

The hunter DLC re-uses the second map. Acts like you have done everything except the very final mission. has more story missions with Torvin, which owns. Also adds stealth Caragors, and projectile vomiting Graugs.

I have only played a couple missions, but so far definitely pretty awesome if only because you can stealth kill from above with the stealth caragor cousins very large distances. Also, stealth Sabretooth Tigers killing orcs everywhere you go.

Yeah pretty much this.

I mean look at Fury and American Sniper. Both are two incredibly well done war movies even though one is more plot driven and the other is character driven.


And stories for games are mostly going to revolve around a single guy for stuff like Call of Duty because the game itself is single player and they're not really going to pour the resources into changing the story scenes to fit a co-op situation. Like the story has to fit the gameplay mechanics. Hell Dark Souls and Bloodborne are the same way because it's just you a single person who is playing through it. So everything is going to ofcourse revolve around you and what you're doing.

ACTUALLY DARK SOULS ISNT ALL ABOUT YOU, IN FACT EVERY SINGLE SANE NPC IN THE GAME DERIDES YOU AS A FOOL FOR TRYING AND TELLS YOU YOU WILL DIE LIKE THE REST. ALSO EVENTS AND NPCS GO OFF AND DO THINGS WITHOUT YOU REALISING, AND YOU HAVE TO ACTIVELY SEEK THEM OUT. THEY WILL ALSO OFTEN LIE OR SIMPLY NOT TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE UP TO BECAUSE YOU ARE INCONSEQUENTIAL AND NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM. AND THEN EVEN EVENTS THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF YOUR ACTIONS THE NPCS ASSUME IS DUE TO SOMETHING ELSE AND STILL DONT THINK MUCH OF YOU.

Yeah I don't know why Stux posted it like that but he's right, Dark Souls (at least Demon's and DS1) is an exception to that because the NPCs make it pretty clear they have their own agendas and poo poo to do. It's only in Dark Souls 2 that they start permanently hanging around Majula just so that you don't have to go track them down to buy poo poo from them or whatever.
