Games similar to Diablo 3 and Path of Exile?
Games similar to Diablo 3 and Path of Exile?
Grim Dawn.
Titan Quest, since it got updated recently.
Derivatives such as Van Helsing or Victor Vran.
Book of Demons is a different take, too.
>Diablo 3 and Path of Exile
Those are shit, just go play Diablo 2 there hasn't been a decent one since
Diablo 2 is fun.
I'm not going to play a 20 year old game..
Thanks.
I never finished Torchlight 2 btw, do you think it's worth playing through just for the story? None of my friends seem too interested in playing that anymore so I'd have to be solo
>mfw I never paid attention to Titan Quest despite loving ARPGs
I thought it was turn based, how is it?
Add Torchlight to the list too.
>I'm not going to play a 20 year old game..
underage b&
Torchlight 1 and 2 story are the same as Diablo 1 and 2, literally.
Torchlight 1: An Ancient Evil awakens under this remote town, you need to venture deep underground going from mines to crypts to hell itself and defeat the ancient evil
Torchlight 2: The Ancient Evil has possessed the protagonist of the previous game and now he became a Dark Wanderer, you must follow him through the world and put a stop to him
Literally the same plot as D1 and D2.
Lost Ark fucking when?

How to make everyone regret replying to your thread in one simple step
or you guys can stop being nostalgiafags lol
>I'm not going to play a 20 year old game..
Fuck off and die, sage in every field.
Never Ever I guess.
Too bad, looked great. On the other hand, soulless korean grinding.
diablo2 is better because the items have a huge impact
the build and the items often change everything about the game, while in modern games, the items just make small stat changes to the same exact playstyle that you've always been using
something as simple as a +80 mana ring can allow you to spam your most powerful abilities constantly, for example, and there are much better items
They haven't even confirmed they will be releasing it in English and are still doing Korean closed betas.
Shit isn't going to show up until 202X.
That looks ugly as fuck. What mod?
what in the name of lucifer is this?
Not the user you asked, but I am currently playing titan quest.
Think Diablo, in ancient greece, with a seriously fuckable female player model.
It would have been an outstanding hentai game, everything in the game is considered /d/ material monster. Satyrs, nagas, catgirls
Only these are "beasts and demons" and you are cleansing the land.
The battle system is not bad, the class system is a bit shmeh, and the items are rare.
Play this only if you intend to spend 40+ hours bashing monsters.
Fun storyline.
>Play this only if you intend to spend 40+ hours bashing monsters
I'm sold
I forgot to tell you, the anniversary edition takes you to egypt (so more sexy beasts)
And to viking lands
it is epic
...
you're asking about a genre whose prime was 20 years ago. Thats like asking about platformers then getting pissed about people recommending super nintendo games
>fuckable female player model
Very nice
Dunno mang, those female models in thongs I'm seeing on google images look good
Diablo II doesn't hold up faggots
It's UI and gameplay are so archaic and trashy that the only people who can stomach it are people who didn't know better as children.
>UI and gameplay
PoE is an exact clone of D2 in these aspects and thats what the OP is asking for you jaded fuck
>playing a dead skinner box genre
I fapped to titan quest fantasies while playing it, for some reason that game makes you feel pervy
Is that the Finnish autism mod?
Please explain
I don't play arpgs, but i'm on the third act, and the 1st act is 12 hours of hold left mouse to kill mob. picks up after that, but not enough going on scope wise if you ask me, levels take forever to get and equipment just isn't exciting.
>mod made by autistic and masochistic Finn
>each area is as big as the entire game
>enemies are ridiculously strong
>it takes weeks to even reach the end of the first act
Shame that the mod is nowhere to be found.
Best singleplayer h&s experience I've ever had.
I do wanna play Grim Dawn but im hesitant on spending money on a base game + dlc + expansion
This one iirc d2mods.info
The next major Steam sale will be end of next week.
Pirate it then.
On that note is the DLC for Grim Dawn worth it or should I just get the base game + expansion
Wait it's either this one or d2scrabble.
Play vanilla then and decide whether you want the Ashes of Malmouth expansion once you finish the vanilla storyline. Crucible is an arena mode and is not needed to enjoy the game fully.
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem
store.steampowered.com
dungeon siege 2
sacred 2(avoid 3)
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr
I pirated grim dawn and it plays like ass
>spamming one ability all the time
>also what the fuck are these constellation things how do I even like WHAT
The Crucible DLC is completely optional. It is just a separate game mode where you fight waves of monsters and gain exp and items as a reward. But there are no exclusive items or such things.
The Malmouth expansion is a must have.
its ok to be bad at video games user
i bought it when it first came out, i'd wait for a sale or until they add some better multiplayer options.
it's fun enough for single player, though, if you like the multi-act playthroughs on three different difficulties.
>>also what the fuck are these constellation things how do I even like WHAT
It's called being an illiterate moron.
Ashes of Malmouth is amazing. Very good area design and it's atmospheric as fuck. Absolutely worth the money, if you like the base game.

I have Wolcen, it's not that great or worth it.
The Warhammer one looks nice but almost definitely lacks content.
I used to love TQ a lot, but wasnt able to get into it recently because my autism can no longer handle its slow pacing and single target attacks after all the time spent sweeping multiple screens of trash with single button in poe.
>Actually wanting something similar to D3, instead of D2
Go fucking die somewhere.
For the torrents you have to download like 5 different patches and install them one by one lol
Is Grim Dawn the best of all these?
yeah pretty much
>describing everything as epic
In TQ's case it actually works since it's a fuckhuge journey over the world fighting all kinds of mystical shit and saving the world of man.
It is currently the best ARPG.
Depends on what you look for.
Its not as 'deep' as PoE since the meta is not subject to a lot of change. Also, very limited trading.
Its not as polished, gameplay wise, as D3. But more flexibiliy.
Its a good compromise of those qualities.
>Titan Quest, since it got updated recently.
What? Why when?
TItan Quest Ragnarok, new DLC that came out in november.
store.steampowered.com
>I have Wolcen, it's not that great or worth it.
whats wrong with it? kinda curious
Does anyone else love the customization but hate how fucking grindy these games are gear wise? Thank god you can just flip for an hour on poe.trade and get good gear.
so pay to win?
I don't think you know what that term means friend.
If you just want to complete all the acts then you don't really need good gear in PoE.
Literally noone cares about the acts. After a while you just run them as fast as possible like a robot.
>People talking shit about Diablo 2
Ignorance is bliss I guess...
D2 legitimately doesn't hold up today in a lot of ways. Runs at like 800x600@60fps & combat is pretty abysmal.
But grinding is part of the fun. I got bored from playing Grim Dawn when I hit max level with my Commando and and found the last good gear piece.
It's in alpha, less than half the skill progression is done/mapped out. All the quests etc currently in the game are just there so people have something to do.
I bought it anyway because the swordplay feels so satisfying with basic attack combos and I like the umbra/rage system.
Hopefully it'll be a great full game one day but it's not even 30% yet.
You could always pirate the current version and keep it on your watch list if you like the gameplay though.
I've wasted my life playing Diablo i,ii,iii
I know it doesn't hold up well in many aspects, but it's still more addicting than D3 is. When you consider how much more fun the game is compared to D3, and then compare how much older it is it really makes you take a long hard look at D3.
How did you waste your life with 3? I blazed through it for the first two months after release, made a profit from selling all the gear and money on the RMAH and then dumped it because it's a horrible game.
D3 is an ok arcade action game, not really an ARPG even. D2 has way better art direction, theme, & character building.
Dii was the best out of the 3, Diii had rainbows =.=
not him but it is still early access so the main problems are lack of content and optimization.
It's actually shit compared to PoE, I tried to play recently. Skill trees are garbage and boring, 3/4 of skills are useless, all fun builds are gated behing piles of undroppable runes, mechanics are shallow and shit compared to PoE, and game is 5 times slower (this is subjective, but I like supersonic speeds in PoE).
Done intentionally since both games were meant to be part of a ramp to Torchlight 3, Runic Games' true AAA break-in. They never got there due to lackluster sales and poor studio direction, though. It's a sad story, not one Kotaku would tell you.
PoE was also released 13 years after Diablo 2
Yeah, Diablo 2 was good for it's time, all I'm saying is that it was surpassed in almost every way.
It still has better music and atmosphere than PoE.
Only an idiot thinks the appeal of D2 and its success have anything to do with the autistic itemization and its soon-to-be-hardcore-raiders audience.
No arguments here. I still haven't tried PoE. I really need to.
Diablo 2
Record of the Lodoss War
I don't see anything fun about repetitive whacking of boring, stupid monsters, so you might want to make an austsm test yourself. Unless you're one of the guys who plays Diablo for story (LOL).
The fun in these games for me is in coming up with cool builds and testing the limits of the game.
I see, I'll do just that.
I won't buy early access until steam removes the ability for devs to release expansion packs while still under EA(ark: survival evolved was allowed to do this).
How's the performance? It's kind of interesting to see someone using the CryEngine for something as intensive and populous as a H&S game. Are there a shitton of mobs or is it pretty sparse compared to the likes of Diablo and PoE?
I would be careful with that one.
It's pretty good for one run, but the game mechanics work really bad for the higher difficulties. The itemization is especially problematic. You will find that in grim dawn most items just fit one out of like 30+ possible builds - ultimately putting the chance of actually finding something good at any point in the game extremely low. You will wish back the diablo itemization, where many items could be used by various classes and builds. What's worse, in grim dawn you will find that many build have hardly any items catering to them.
I could not get into Path of Exile at all. Game was just too ugly for me. All of the classes were uninteresting, too. Maybe it gets better later on, but I really couldn't play for long before I just stopped. And I love Diablo 2, one of my favorite games ever.
Are those female models the prostitutes from planescape?
Monster density is more sparse in comarison.
The Performace depents I have mixed results while friends of mine had no problems at all. Pray to RNGesus.
Fazit: Wait a Year or so
>problematic
Soyboys out of testosterone.
They did an overhaul of the graphics and it looks pretty solid now compared to the trash from before. Also, classes don't really exist other than determining the starting position on the tree & which ascendancy you can specialize in.
You have 100% eaten something recently that contained a soy derivative.
And that is why the west is going under
>y-you too
No I haven't. Only American food is pumped with soy and corn syrup.
Man I wish I played it when you could still sell items for real money.
...
D3 has by far the best combat.
D2 has by far the best atmosphere, music, and world.
PoE has by far the best build customization, and endgame.
Grim Dawn is the best overall package.
Discuss.
You wouldn't have made serious profit anyway, unless you had a fucking bot farm or something.

I don't know, I tried a map once. It didn't seem all that special.
