Can't wait to see the reviews!

~~57%~~ ~~50%~~ 52% at the moment

Gotta love those useless meme reviews trying to get Steam points.

Who cares, Blizzard ruined the Diablo franchise a long time ago. Do yourself a favor a play Path of Exile instead.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Path of Exile is not a replacement for Diablo. It's not even a very good ARPG.

Diablo 3 and 4 aren't replacements for Diablo either.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

D2R is peak Diablo but there are lots of alternative ARPGs that are far better than the Chinese gutter oil that is Path of Exile.

~~You can't play mods on D2R~~ which to me makes it worse than the original D2. I've enjoyed and played Diablo 2 for 20 years now. A big part of why is due to mods like Median XL (and the fact that it's the best game ever made).

As for PoE, I strongly disagree. If you're only looking at ARPGs that follow the seasonal style and constantly add new content. There aren't many better than PoE.

I did not know that, thank you. I might look a bit more into D2R in that case but it's hard to justify giving money to Blizzard.

If it makes you feel any better, you'd be giving money to Microsoft now, baby! lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Better than giving money and data to China.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I played a ton of Diablo 2 and 3 and I do not like PoE very much at all

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The only game that came close to the Diablo series in terms of feel was Torchlight 2, thanks in part to two Diablo leads and the Diablo composer.

My wrists can't take any more flask spamming abuse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They actually added a flask enchant that uses them automatically. For example you can have it activate when charges reach full. It only works on utility flasks but it's still a huge QOL improvement.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Maybe it's time to revisit it sometime then, thanks.

That’ll fix it 👍

Grim Dawn is almost as old as D3 now. Well at least the closed alphas were.

That game is one of the only games where feature creep was handled right.

I hope it falls below their sales expectations so those asswipes at Blizzard will look at a sinking line graph and wonder, "Do you guys not have Steam?"
