Hey if your celebrity crush came out and said, “Yeah my celebrity crush is Jonathan Blow”, how would you feel?

Some good loving news for once, https://www.torchlight3.com/en/news-article/11350673

Torchlight Frontiers is no longer an MMORPG that is free to play. The new devs that have taken over Torchlight have scrapped all of that, and are making it into a traditional action RPG with both offline / online modes, and it'll be sold for just one price (the previous games were like $20).

Glad to hear it. Any news on what the next class is? Are they at least keeping the other class stuff too?

Relax Or DIE posted:

hell yeah, glad they made that shift so they cap off the trilogy with another pretty bad arpg

Torchlight is good and I look forward to Torchlight 3 which, I poo poo you not, has a class that has you running around laying down track for your mini custom train that rides along and shoots at enemies and you can also summon a ghost train to run over enemies

It's funny that when Doom was rebooted id chose to add the most popular fps elements to their classic series, cutscenes and platforming.

doom 2 has tons of platforming. definitely didn't need the long-winded audio logs in the reboot though. i was kind of hoping the story would be told non-verbally through set dressing and stuff. oh well

I haven’t played New Doom but I remember people making a big deal of an early cutscene where your guy smashes a video screen to interrupt a villain’s monologue, does that attitude not carry through the rest of the game?

no and it makes it stand out even more and is probably the worst part of it. its not like theres 100s of them but a couple of times you get locked into a cutscene room and it sucks.

Mostly it does? but there are two or three annoying points where you're forced to listen to villains monologuing without being allowed to break their faces

I felt like it carried through pretty well. When the robot who wants to help you finally meets you, he instantly shoots you with a stun gun before installing the upgrade in your suit because he knows you'll probably just blast him with a shotgun before he can open his mouth otherwise

You literally start with the ability to lay rail.

Playing as Defaults is haram. It should be banned, defaults should be expressly impossible because when you load up a character it should simply present you with a fully random character.
