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.

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?

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)

Archelon,

Angle the your nose down on a straightaway and you’ll see the speed indicator on the right get a red bar that’ll go up to a green light. When that light goes yellow, you can hit the boost key to go turbo.

(On keyboard, the defaults are the up arrow to angle down and shift to activate boost)

MamboGator, do games w Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them?
@MamboGator@lemmy.world avatar

Most Mario games in general. I can play Mario Kart or some of the sports games with friends if someone else chooses them, but the singleplayer Mario games just aren’t fun to me. The only exception is The Thousand Year Door. I tried the other Paper Mario games and none were as good.

I also agree on BotW. Nintendo was chasing the survival game trend and I guess it paid off for them, but I find the world empty and boring, made worse by the dull colours in the art style. The worst part is the durability system. If there was a way to repair items it might be okay, but everything is like tissue paper. Even higher end weapons are gone after a few enemies, so eventually I just started avoiding combat entirely. I’m certain they did that and kept it that way in TotK because they couldn’t think of anything else to reward players with for exploring their empty world.

the_post_of_tom_joad,

There is still item durability BUT! it is “fixed” by the addition of a weapon creation system. Now monster parts that drop can be slapped onto whatever weapon you find on the ground, making every (still breakeable, disposable) weapon less important than the monster part. You can even (a bit later) save your badass monster parts from breakage and reuse them. Furthermore your can immediately see what monster part will drop (its on their heads) which saves unnecessary farming and serves to show the enemies strength at a glance.

MamboGator,
@MamboGator@lemmy.world avatar

Insert comic of the guy in a staff meeting suggesting they fix complaints about durability by adding a simple repair system like every other game and Miyamoto throwing him out the window.

jacksilver,

I mean, TOTK is almost copy pasted BOTW. Yeah there are some new mechanics, but it still has all of the flaws of BOTW.

Crafting and the building mechanic add some fun, but the farming required for all of it is tedious (and I even used duplication glitches for items).

Itll be curious to see how people’s opinions of BOTW change over time because I think it took Zelda in a bad direction (unfocused gameplay with simpler puzzles).

MamboGator,
@MamboGator@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. I don’t mean it has a piss filter like Xbox 360 games. I mean the lighting washes everything out. Compare this screenshot to one from Wind Waker or Skyward Sword.

morphballganon,

If your argument hinges on the colors being duller than The Wind Waker, perhaps you are setting the bar too high? TWW is more vibrant than 99% of modern games.

MamboGator, (edited )
@MamboGator@lemmy.world avatar

Man walks into a thread titled “Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them?”, proceeds to argue with the replies.

morphballganon,

There are actually quite a few people who hate the weapon durability system, so the rest of the world doesn’t love BotW.

The colors argument is baffling though. The greens of Hyrule Field are pretty vibrant.

MamboGator,
@MamboGator@lemmy.world avatar

But I’m also not the only one who thinks the colours are washed out. Modders running the game on PC were able to increase the vibrance to something that actually looks appealing to me.

Galaxy is actually the one I was playing when I realized I don’t like Mario games. I got about halfway through it, decided I wasn’t having fun and turned it off.
