You might like the Divinity series.

UnfairUtan,

There’s a humble bundle for Divinity 2 atm.

It used to be that the timer started as soon as you hit download, however they supposedly fixed it later on to only start whenever you booted up the game (and stop as soon as you fully quit it).
I guess there might be some bugs / potential rollback on that fix, but since it’s never been officially communicated AFAIK…

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.

wow, what a shitty system.

RampantParanoia2365,

I can’t imagine a world where I don’t love it. Loved AW, Control, and all the Max Paynes. I dont even know how many times I’ve played Max Payne 2. But goddamn, really guys?

Grim Dawn is goated. Not a big ARPG fan but this one just hits different for me. Simple enough for anyone to get into but can get complex enough that min-max theory crafters will have a blast messing with the games systems.

doctorcrimson,

For me it was a very short experience, but it’s got online coop.

CodingCarpenter,

Work all the dlc? I’ve played though a couple of times and it’s always like 30-40 hours

doctorcrimson,

The base game can be done in like 5-8 hours on a leisurely pace, the current speedrun WR is 57minutes but there are only 6 runners who’ve submitted to it so feasibly you could get a lot better times than that.

I’ve actually got a video on YT where I perform the “I Was Not Expecting You, Human” achievement to Slay Warden Krieg, who is the game’s midboss, in Veteran Mode with a character under level 11, and it was an hour and thirteen minutes from character creation to finish. The last 10 minutes are just the Krieg fight itself. This could be done much faster without the level requirement, though, because you could get more damage and better items.

The major problem with it is the enemy scaling. Every area has a minimum level and a maximum level, and as the character levels up so do the enemies. That means if you keep leveling in an area until you dwarf the enemies, it just keeps making it harder in the next area, so you’re incentivized to stay at the minimum level for that area and ignore the vast majority of enemies. Even farming for good loot comes at the added cost of making the mobs harder. I used to use a site that shows the level range for areas but I can’t find it anymore, sadly.

Here’s an RPG that I haven’t seen listed yet- Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. I spent a LOT of hours on this one back in the day (circa 2001, by Sierra-Online and Troika Games)

ooli,

It has great character building and quest, but horrible boring fight

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

Not mentioned yet: Chronicon. A small indie game that doesn’t take itself very seriously. It has much less build variety than something like Grim Dawn (obviously) but it’s got some, and it’s aiming to be a much more streamlined/casual experience. Won’t demand as much of your time and attention, will deliver hugely satisfying colorful explosions across the screen. When I’m in the mood for an ARPG it’s a toss up whether I’ll install this or Grim Dawn.

Torchlight is Torchlight. You might like it because not Diablo, but Torchlight.

normalexit,

I loved Diablo 2 the most, and Torchlight scratches the same itch.

a do czego? torrentuj bez

montar_,

Torrentowanie (piractwo dokładniej, .iso ubuntu to sobie można) jest teoretycznie nielegalne, w praktyce nikt nie zwraca na to uwagi.

kszeslaw,

Do mojego znajomego raz zapukali, ale to był polski film, w dodatku nowy

Kto zapukał? Jak to się skończyło? Opowiedz więcej :)

kszeslaw,

Policja zapukała, ale chyba nawet poniżej 18 był i skończyło się na upomnieniu typu “no nie wolno ściągać z internetu bo to kradzież”. Najlepsze jest to że nawet nie dla siebie pobierał ten film tylko dla matki xd

Nie jestem do końca pewien, ale wydaje mi się że żeby cię faktycznie ścigano za piractwo musi się zgłosić właściciel praw autorskich. Bywa tak że właściciel celowo podpina się pod takiego torrenta i robi listę seedów które przekazuje dostawcom internetu i/lub policji. Dlatego informacja że to nowy polski film była kluczowa xd nie ma komu cię ścigać za obcy content

hohombe,

Paramount+ wysyła listy do dostawców internetu, jak sobie pozwolisz na zbyt częstą ucztę z ich niegłupimi produkcjami. Póki co na listach się skończyło. A nowy sezon Halo i tak przecież muszę ściągnąć? ;)

dj1936,
!deleted2556 avatar

Czekaj, bo pogubiłem się. Co to jest Paramount+ ? Czym są ich produkcje?

Nie wiem też czym jest nowy sezon Halo, ale brzmi, jakby to był jakiś serial. Nie wiem czemu pytasz, czy musisz go ściągać (jak chcesz to ściągaj, jak nie chcesz to nie ściągaj, proste :P ), ale skoro już pytasz, to moja odpowiedź brzmi: myślę, że nie masz takiego obowiązku ;>

hohombe,

Dzięki za wyjaśnienie, że nie mam :)

No właśnie ja nawet nie myślałem o torrentach. Wczoraj ziomek ruszył temat, to pomyślałem, ze trzeba spytać tu, bo tu dużo nerdów xD

Podpytam co miał na myśli i złożę raport!

Minecraft Dungeons

yeah, i’ll see myself out

5PACEBAR,

Nah I agree. Minecraft Dungeons has a really approchable aesthetic that hits different. It’s an easier sell to my partner. Its cute, and the build complexity and variaty is surprisingly good. Don’t sleep on Minecraft Dungeons y’all!

blusterydayve26,

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on that one like three times now but I need more art supplies…

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

A game nobody has mentioned yet would be Undecember. Instant dont play if Korean MMO, f2p or an in-game shop scare you away. Behind all that is a pretty good arpg with unique skill combination mechanics that are a joy to experiment with. Beware though that if you want to get really far, the grind won’t stop. (Progress can be bought, generally it’s just not worth it though, only p2 play hurdle is inventory space and that’s a one time payment of 20-40€ depending on you) I`d recommend checking out a guide or two concerning runes before jumping into the campaign as it can be a bit challenging in the early levels, especially if one doesn’t use all the skills available.

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.

+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.

Because you want to avoid Diablo because Diablo, maybe you could get Diablo used on console, you don’t need a Blizzard account or an internet connection and since it’s used the money wouldn’t go to Blizzard. It might be an option, depending on why you want to avoid Diablo.

bhamlin,

That’s almost like saying that if you want to try meth, steal some instead.

I love the title of this post. The only arpgs that I don’t see mentioned already are Victor Vran, which I think is a lot of fun, and the Warhammer arpgs, I haven’t played yet, Chaosbane and Inquisitor Martyr. Inquisitor Martyr is supposed to get a fully offline mode soon and they’ve patched it to have all the seasons available to play through.

PraiseTheSoup,

Victor Vran was surprisingly good. I bought Inquisitor Martyr and have never made it more than an hour or two. I think you need to be a diehard fan of the IP because the gameplay is generic af.

ryathal,

I enjoy inquisitor Martyr, it’s definitely more basic than Diablo. It scratches the kill everything and get loot itch though.
