Rhynoplaz, do games w Is it possible to safely "give away" a Steam account to a stranger?

I wouldn’t post the login for random people to copy and paste. Still do all that other stuff to remove all traces of yourself from the account, but ask around and talk to people and when you find someone you want to offer it to, send it discreetly.

Be careful and double / triple check on help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata what information is stored on your account, especially chats, payment information, purchases, subscriptions and so on. But I agree regarding TOS if they ever find out the account will be locked most likely.

Yea, but the SNES in particular has an amazing library, I love super sf2

I haven’t played many SNES games, but the ones I have have been pretty good. Fairly sure there’s quite a bit of stinkers in there too.

If a little extra jiggle was crucial to the vision, then I’d say they need a better vision, but that’s just me. The commentary I heard around this case in particular is that ratings boards around the world impose a ton of different criteria, and getting around all of them is no easy feat, so that could be to blame.

It’s not a game for everyone, but it is a lot of fun (if you enjoy building a tank). Part of why I really like it is there’s no real pve tank games right now and this is the closest offering. I’d fuckin kill for Warthunder-but-open-world. Or even mission based. This scratches part of that itch.

Don_alForno, do gaming w Why are there two different genres both called ARPG?

I don’t get why Diablo-likes are called ARPG’s.

We used to call them “Hack 'n Slash”. I guess studios didn’t think that term marketing friendly.

This might be the most hyperbole I’ve seen in a while. I don’t think I’ve even seen anyone complain about the ux before, it was so inconsequential to my playthrough that I can barely remember it.

Absolutely this! I hate that I now know how to think in the Superliminal world.

Nobody really knows how big it’ll be. They said the new area would be aroumd the size of Limgrave but a lot more dense, I’d wait until reviews if you’re worried about price.

Treefox, do games w Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo?

Path of Exile.

doctorcrimson,

PoE 2 announced a couple years ago and should be launching soon, pretty much the same stuff on a new engine.

kaosof,

It seems like it’ll actually be radically different, and there’s no way it’s coming out until like at least 2026.

doctorcrimson,

All of the promotional footage I’ve seen for it looked indiscernible from PoE 1 gameplay and graphics but maybe that’s due to ongoing development.

zachary3752,

It’s actually an upgraded version of the same engine, and Path of Exile 1 is getting a lot of the new tech backported.

It was originally supposed to replace Path of Exile 1, but now they are going to exist together.

2 will be more refined and slower, with a brand new story and 6 new acts. Should be a fun time.

doctorcrimson,

Slower? I tried to speedrun PoE once and because of a build mistake in Chapter 2 Act 3 it took me 14 hours to beat the base game before maps. Terrible time, but still.

zachary3752,

I believe the acts themselves will be longer and more fleshed out but there’s less of them.

6 acts in Path of Exile 2 instead of the 10 acts that PoE1 has.

doctorcrimson,

That might be nice, it would be cool to have coherent independent stories instead of: “There is literally only one path and this random person who means nothing to you or your mission personally is in your way, kill them! (reading their pocket journal is optional)”

I do feel like the second chapter was better than the first in that regard, though.

Bakkoda,

I spent way way way too many hours playing D2. Path of Exile is a great choice to fill that gap. Just do homework for a little bit before diving in if you give it a shot. Leveling builds and def use a guide.

Ketram, do games w Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo?

Definitely I would check out Grim Dawn and Last Epoch.

Grim Dawn is an insanely sprawling game with tons of class combinations and builds, made by the people who made titan quest. The graphics are dated as hell but it never stopped me from loving it. I also find the lore very fun.

Then there is Last Epoch, which is coming out on the 21st. I’ve been playing it for 3 years, even done some testing for them. Personally some of the more casual friendly things that you can’t find (like the crafting actually being amazing, seasons giving content to non-season characters, etc) just are unmatched and give the game a very good flow. It will be out in 1.0 in ~ a week and I definitely think it’s worth a glance because I find it is a great middle ground between diablo’s dumbed-downness and Path of Exile’s sweatiness.

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

+1 for Last Epoch

Each skill has its own talent tree you can use to customize it, and if there’s a certain build you like in Diablo you’ll probably be able to find something with a similar playstyle.

Vipsu, do games w Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo?
@Vipsu@lemmy.world avatar

Here’s a few:

  • Grim Dawn
  • Titan Quest
  • Sacred Series
  • The incredible adventures of Van Helsing
  • Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor - martyr
  • Divine Divinity
  • Torchlight series

Then there’s Last Epoch and Path of Exile

Etterra,

Grim Dawn is probably your best match. PoE is also online only so screw em.

PraiseTheSoup,

Torchlight 1 was an amazing game. Torchlight 2 was an okay game. Torchlight 3 is nothing like the previous two and is really awful.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Spent a good chunk of my childhood playing Sacred 1. It’s aged very poorly, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone nowadays, but I still think that the world design and environmental storytelling were some of the best I’ve found in a videogame.

For example, at the beginning of the game, orcs are migrating from the desert and attacking human settlements. When you progress, you discover that they aren’t doing it because they want to, but because the undead army is forcing them out of their land. And when you progress in the northern part of the world, there’s a completely optional region inside the forest, where you can find a few hastily made orcish settlements - but you only find women and shamans, because the men are fighting at the front. There are no dialogues, quests, books or anything telling you that, it’s just something that you infer from the environment.

It made exploring the world and finding its secrets fun, even if there wasn’t always a reward.

(There were also a metric ton of easter eggs, from tombstones mentioning LotR characters to receiving sunglasses as a reward for chasing rude orc visitors from a tourist island… it was a wild game)
