That TQ thread is spilling into PoE talk so I figured it was time to have an general action-rpg thread. Diablo, PoE, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, Dungeon Siege, etc. Sperg out, group up, I don't give a poo poo. Just keep clicking.  -------------------------------------- Diablo ISO and HD Mod Diablo ISO Diablo Official Patch Belzebub/Tchernobog Kazvall fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Sep 16, 2016 |

Lately I've been playing this Diablo 1 HD mod called Belzebub. Here's a video if anyone is curious. The multiplayer client is called Tchernobog. I can explain how to get it all installed if need be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4PfLbMJCoA

I enjoy the adrenaline rush of almost dying. Yet, dying is pretty depressing.

i like the rush of HC but i like being able to gently caress up a lot more, plus hc can really suck online

Also, if you haven't seen this, it's the Diablo: Postmortem by David Brevik and it's quite a good watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VscdPA6sUkc&t=2s

Poe isn't that hard for a beginner even tho the tree looks intimidating. If you have arpg experience you'll be able to make your way around the tree to build a familiar build and then later once you understand the game more you can start reading guides and optimizing

Logging out one moment before death gets you.

what distinguishes POE from other arpgs? it looks kinda generic to me. Grim Dawn, however, looks unique and interesting with it's cool 18th century witch hunter aesthetic, its def on my list of things to buy when they go on hecka sale.

PoE's most obvious claim to fame is the big skill tree thing but it also has like Leagues with different rules. And races and stuff. And it's probably the biggest throwback to Diablo 2 since uhhh Titan Quest probably.

Serious question, if ARPGs are such an addictive why aren't there more portable ones? The only one I can really think of is the GBA version of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I played a bunch of the PSX version of Diablo on my PSP

Grim Dawn has managed to have blunderbusses and other antique type weapons without being steam punk at all. That's quite a feat imo

D1 psx is definitely a strong release. And tons of people play d3 on console, but that's with a full controller. Record of Lodoss War would be a fun handheld game.

Finster Dexter posted:I don't like Hardcore except on PoE because their hardcore leagues have cool gimmicks sometimes. True, and no one plays hc poe to reach the endgame. It's just not loving possible for 99% of players. It's already a more hardcore experience.

i wish there was a better version of borderlands. mostly something shorter, with like a 1 or 2 hour campaign, much faster progression, and wilder abilities and skills.

There was a game in development called Hellraid that would have been Heretic + Diablo, first person. Sadly it's cancelled now or some crap.

really the only reason i don't play poe more is they still make you do the story 3 times before opening up their version of d3 rifts and my dream arpg is enter dungeon -> click monster -> get loot it's always act 2 that stops me because the jungle sucks

PoE may look slightly dated now and just a few short years ago it had a quite limited monster pool. But they're working to fix that which is nice. The skill tree is huge and makes you go what the heck!!! No way!!! But most of it is travel nodes or is worthless on your build so you can just ignore it. You can probably get to Merciless just picking whatever and learning the game before you need to make a real build.

also all desert acts. act 3 doesn't count cause you don't spend the whole thing in a desert, i liked finally getting to the part where youre at the palace cause the density goes up and the dungeons are more concise basically i want lots of a in my arpg. big packs of monsters and evil men i must decimate with my magical and martial skill.
