I bought the game because I was trying to convince myself to fall in love with TB RPG

# rustic meteor Why diablo?

I mean, it's a game based around grinding and exp and character builds, but it substitutes the usual carpal tunnel aRPG combat for a much more glacially-paced turn-based dungeon crawling approach. Warning, though--it is a bit more granular. You have to apply splints to wounds, eat food, drink water, and generally micromanage a lot more, though it definitely is more a "dungeon" game than an "overworld" RPG.

LOL

#

eat food .drink water ,, and what happens if yer out if that ?? die ?? then its a survival game

sullen void
#

I will warn that it can get frustrating to lose a lot of progress if you play impulsively. It is not like most aRPGs in that you run into a room swinging, you have to approach every combat very meticulously, and show some restraint.

sullen void
#

Come to think of it, some of the early Elder Scrolls did require food and water and survival elements, as did Ultima Underworld. That is something gutted from most modern RPGs, though almost every first-gen RPG, from text-based MUDs to Realms of Arkania, included them.

#

It makes exploration MUCH more intense when you have to prepare ahead, or you end up dying fifty floors down in a dungeon because you didn't manage risk-reward, or you overextended and got greedy.

#

I guess you could argue Fable also included them.

# indigo shadow Killsquad is stressful but great

It's really good. I'm not a fan of mission-based games, as they don't form a cohesive world, but the gameplay mechanics synergize solidly, and the skills and auxillary effects lend themselves well to builds. Only complaint I've had is multiplayer lag, and the initial problems I had with the game freezing unless you ran as admin.

Has anyone got a few pointers for me on the old Diablo & Hellfire that GOG sels ?
I cannot get my buttons to populate and would totally not mind giving that one another shot on the olden Battle Net - preferably without having to build me a rig on a Pentium 166 MMX and some 16MG ATI graphics card with a 15" crt monitor 🙂

#

If you are having combatibilty issues maybe you can try to install winxp on a virtual machine

#

?

desert sable
#

Could've thought of that one myself @junior oyster - will give it a shot and report back.
After all, I could fly "Red Baron" on a mildly over-tweaked Amiga1200 more smooth than a friend on his SOTA 386 "IBM Compatible"

I might need a Win7 image that includes the WinXP VM onboard though)

junior oyster
#

Really? Pretty sure Oracle supports Win10

#

But idk haven't used a vm in a long time

desert sable
#

I need an MSDN subscription for the OS installation OR have to find back my Win95(c) or the Win98 / WinXP licensed install media that I lost some 20 years ago when I moved from Germany to NL to UK to Ireland 😄

#

I'll tr something . . "creative"

junior oyster
#

For the oracleVM?

desert sable
#

I was thinking Hyper-V

junior oyster
#

I used OracleVM cuz it was free

desert sable
#

Hyper-V is pretty much free as well, comes with recent Windows OS

junior oyster
#

Ah yea I get you

#

But I remember using a random winxp key to install my os xD

desert sable
#

Still annoys the life out of me that I have a monster of a rig and my mobile phone has four to eight times the capacities of my "game-rig"
The "random" key doesn't work since a long time.
It was Microsoft's response to "Genuine Win validation" when they whipped out a default key for China because they couldn't get the hacking crowd there under control.

junior oyster
#

Oh yea I forgot about that

desert sable
#

Probably safe to assume that we're old and we've been there when it happened.

junior oyster
#

Would it work on Win7?

#

I have a win7 partition if I ever feel like playing red alert 2

#

Cuz on win10 it freezes

desert sable
#

It should on Win7, Win7 has the "virtual XP" VM built in

junior oyster
#

Ah then win7 it is

desert sable
#

I need to re-arrange a few things on my experimental workstation here

#

Win XP Mode is basically giving you a VM under the hoood, runs stuff in the VM and on your Win7 desktop "like native"

#

BEST idea those guys ever had regarding Downward Compatible - and then they invented Win8 and scrapped it

#

Came kinda back in Win10 with Hyper-V onboard, but now you need a license for the legacy OS

# fervent hazel are all the souls games + their dlcs good?

I enjoyed all of them, lorewise order doesnt matter, for darksouls 2 make sure you play scholar of the first sin version, for dark souls 1, remastered version offers more quality of life, but less mod support afaik (the good kind of mods, such as bug fix patches n stuff, nothing crucial tho)

#

Gameplaywise i recommend playing demon souls remastered and dark souls 3 after ds 1 and 2, bc their combat is a lot snappier and faster and imo it felt really weird switching "down"

#

All of the dlcs were super fun but challenging experiences

winged kelp
# fervent hazel are all the souls games + their dlcs good?

Play Dark Souls 1, and you've played them all. But at least play #1. Basically, the penultimate idea of what a dungeon crawl would have evolved to become in the 1990s, if anyone had perfected the movement from first-person grid-based blobber to first-person 3D. Though they chose 3rd person, which weirdly, worked almost better. Plus, the added cherry on top of a bunch of narrative symbolism. The level design is top-tier, secondary only to Thief 1 & 2, LGS.

#

If you like exploration-based games, with traps, secrets, puzzles, and combat, you've found your game. Telling a story without telling. Instead of dumping you in a dungeon and giving you an exposition dump about saving some king, you are dumped in a dungeon, and duh, you know not to spend 100 hours in said dungeon gazing at navel. Signposting. No hamfisted story, very little dialogue or even "tell, don't show" kinda logic, which the reverse is always better in interactive mediums. 🤷‍♂️ You are not there to watch, you are there to play the game, basically. Or create a movie.

God of War.. all of them (haven’t played the new one) were legendary, specially the puzzles that had to be solved, combat was so satisfying, pretty stoked to try the new one when it comes to PC.

Never been interested in god of war so I'm not affected by it releasing to pc. On the other hand it would be great if horizon 2 gets released on pc.

Tbh, we are still affected by console exclusives
so if if even one that used to be console exclusive gets to pc
it is good, that means, there is at least some hope that our favourite games are going to come in future

Here's the thing about Microsoft, they're going to want a return on their VERY massive investment and are likely not going to tolerate any of that BS.

#

RDR2 was praised by the press and influencers (some trying to get attention by praising the game)
but the players reception was more mixed, the game often refered as boring
while CP77 suffered from not being at the level where it was expected, particularly on PS4 and X1 (that were the main target for most of the development)
CP77 took a lot of time for fixing issues (and most of the content that should have been added is still yet to be added)

Funnily enough, while playing LA it got me thinking about Star Wars Galaxies (never had the chance to play when I was younger), and while looking up some stuff on the state of the game, I stumbled across another MMO from the era - Anarchy Online. It really intrigued me so I checked it out, and now am hooked. I'm now somehow more excited to play some 20 year old MMO than Lost Ark.

yo lost ark is lowkey lit.
i didnt know i wanted an mmorpg with arpg combat/camera pov until now :D
are there any other mmorpg's with arpg elements?

#

i genuinely cant decide on wether to play LE or lost ark (i know u cant compare those 2 cause they're differrent genres)

fair spoke
#

Lost Ark feels like a top down version of BDO, idk why people keep comparing it to an ARPG besides the camera

potent zephyr
#

yea ik only the combat and camera pov are arpg(the combat not 100%)

#

i just love that concept, mmo with arpg elements

cedar lily
fair spoke
#

idk if MMO and ARPG can overlap much, besides the bare minimum RPG systems

#

long-time online ARPGs can only really survive through seasonal resets, while MMOs focus a lot more on persistent world and progression

cedar lily
#

unique drops and drops that are stronger than ever found in ARPG are non-exist. you can only find ARPG elements in another ARPG game

potent zephyr
#

its like WoW made love to an arpg and lost ark is the result :p

fair spoke
#

eh, I'd use another korean MMO for the comparison, since the way its gearing and other systems work are the same across that whole industry

#

and still it'd be like 95% MMO 5% ARPG

potent zephyr
#

ye probably "any" mmo, i just havent played a lot of them and wow was my longest

cedar lily
potent zephyr
#

feels like a very fresh concept for future mmos

fair spoke
#

asian MMOs are pretty infamous because early game they are very generous, but late game they all turn into like, you must have 5 alts, do 1 hour of dailies on each, send all materials to your main character so you can try to craft gear, and upgrading your gear has a 0.05% chance of success, if it fails you lose all materials and must grind again, OR CREDIT CARD

#

and yeah, I always like when a genre at least tries to do one new thing instead of copying the rest (like the entire battle royale genre)

#

but under the skin it's just that, another endgame gambling simulator trying to get your wallet

potent zephyr
#

are there (non cosmetic) stuff that u can only get with real money?
or is the p2w just to progress faster?

#

I mean, yes it is to progress faster but like

I would say keep in mind for mechanics that are very different in lost ark compared to WoW @potent zephyr

f2p with a single character it takes nearly 3 years of daily grind to get what someone can credit card instantly

potent zephyr
#

if i can reach the same power lvl as anyone who pays while being f2p i dont mind taking more time to do so

fair spoke
#

I don't mind paying for faster progression in most games, if the f2p route can achieve it in a reasonable time

#

but like I said, people who played LA in the korean/russian server mathed out and f2ps take on average over 2.5 years to get there

cedar lily
potent zephyr
#

oh... so it takes waaay too much time to progress f2p?
bummer :(

fair spoke
#

it's the same crap a lot of phone games like raid shadow legends do

#

first few weeks you get a ton of free amazing gear, characters, etc. to hook you while the game is cool

#

then it starts to take way too long to do anything

#

so you start with "oh well I'll put $5 for a XP booster, $5 is nothing! I already played 300 hours for free"

#

"ok, I don't mind putting $20 a month, after all it's the game I play most"

#

"ok, I need to add another $100 this week to keep up with my raiding group, don't wanna fall behind"

I made up those numbers, I think at least for now LA is a bit more generous than that

buying a skin, buying the battlepass

before you realize, you spent $600 in the past year on the game

it's just a high school grade assignment

#

but i gotta do chores anway

#

im kinda desparate to solve it

#

maybe i can solve it later

warm hollow
#

is your bracket formation normal or american

#

because in normal notation that =2/pi

granite monolith
#

monet has already solved it I think

#

since 1/π+(1/π) => 2/π, therefore 2/π = 1, therefore 2 = π ... oops, that can't be right, so the equation is disproved

#

however, in formal math, you're only allowed to manipulate one side of the equation while proving

#

idk if this high school requires that, or if so, which side needs to be manipulated

maiden crown
#

Since π is a constant and easily filled in you can solve. And no, it's not equal at all 1/π + (1/π) = 0.63661977236758134307553505349006 not 1

granite monolith
#

yeah but I'm imagining this syllabus is american

#

which means you have to simplify to one value first, instead of just pulling out a calculator or typing the thing into google like a reasonable person

maiden crown
#

2/π != π/π solved US method.

granite monolith
#

yeah that's what he'd have to write maybe

flat idol
#

holly fuck thats long ago but:
(x or pi whatever)
1/x + (1/x) = 1 multiply the both sides with X
1 + 1 = x
2 = x ... well guess 2 is not pi

#

what kind of tips are you looking for?

junior oyster
# fervent hazel tips?

Aside from not buying the switch lite (unless you are comfortable with it being fairly basic compared to standard switch) I'd say if you are buying games especially AAA ones, might be better to buy them in local stores rather than online. Online is pretty expensive compared to what I've seen in stores here in the UK.

fervent hazel
#

More like what are the cool games to buy, if its worthy the money, the controllers how they feel, acessories etc

#

general tips

vague osprey
#

for the games, it depends on what you like
aside the more obvious ones (zelda, kirby, smash bros, etc), I'd say astral chain and xenoblade chronicles 2 (and 1 if you never played it)
for the controller, the pro is great but I used it only for splatoon 2 as I play exclusively in handheld mode to the other games

maiden crown
# fervent hazel tips?

The OLED one is by far the best if you're planning on using the built-in screen. Do not get a first version if you can avoid it (lower battery life and possible frame stutters in some titles)

maiden widget
#

Haven't had frame stutters and battery can be replaced but yes if you're not comfy tinkering a bit just get a new oled switch

#

Anyone here try the new borderlands? The endgame mode is surprisingly decent from a series that always shits the bed the second you beat story lol

violet nimbus
#

Nope lol, I've yet to beat the Borderlands 2 story (restarted it several times, and always drop it after about ~10-15 hours)
So haven't played the Pre-Sequel or Borderlands 3 yet (or the DLCs for Borderlands 2 for that matter)

So quite a ways away from the newest borderlands, although good to know it's got some endgame to it, thank you.

#

no bl3 was enough of a turnoff, coupled with EGS exclusivity its a skip for me

gentle harness
#

Yeah, BL3's story wasn't great.

twilit mountain
#

I personally don't like any of the BL stories, I exclusively play them for the variety of weapons, playing different builds, and the raids (or takedowns for 3)

#

And I don't think I will be getting Wonderlands because I can't stand listening to Tina

#

I don't play for the story either but if it's bad enough to make me not wanna play I won't support them anymore

#

when you break down their core gameplay loops the only major difference is the means

#

they're both games about getting resources, making cool builds, and killing enemies

#

and maximising efficiency

factorio is better tho bc it has trains

if it doesnt have railways and traffic management i dont wanna hear about it

Trains? heavybreathing

Yeah blue chips start sucking copper hard.

#

Before it would barely move.

#

Im pre-designing my furnance to chunk out plates hard

#

Room for more electric furnace

violet nimbus
#

Before Factorio did their price increase, I read a post about it. I played the demo, and thought to myself "damn this is good!", and went right ahead and bought the game.

Haven't actually played the game since then. But one day i will 🙂

gusty aurora
#

Always fun to make your own blueprint rather than copy pasting from the net.

#

I do use blueprint on mall, rail road, and oil refinery.

#

Mall being a chunk of factory that makes most of the stuff you need.

Still need to mine that coal and copper 😠

Damn no copper

There is one butI cant mine it fast enough for my hungry factories

There is 19m on the left but I cant defend it with current tech

#

Wat nvm this one os newer

#

gusty aurora
junior oyster
#

So I take it this game is a lot harder than ONI?

warm hollow
#

not really harder

#

it is possible to have a world get totally bricked early on

#

but usually later you can just rebuild whatever you've lost

#

the hardest part of the game tends to be expanding your factory, just because you need to dedicate military resources to it, which isnt really a problem once you get artillery and a solid electrical and train network

junior oyster
#

That sounds complicated kekw

gusty aurora
#

I hope I get artillery soon. I wanna drive my train into some ore nodes while bombing everything

junior oyster
#

I been struggling with ONI but it feels like this game is harder

gusty aurora
#

Currently my train just carry ammo

#

Factorio is about planning

#

Enemy will get stronger over time but also pollution and destroying nest increase it.

#

I probably need to separate my weapon production to have its own furnace

If you like Factorio I highly recommend giving The Riftbreaker a try. Basically Factorio meets StarCraft, but you're piloting a Goliath.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/780310/The_Riftbreaker/

You play the role of captain Ashley S. Nowak - you are the Riftbreaker, an elite scientist/commando inside a powerful Mecha-Suit. Enter a one-way portal to Galatea 37, a distant planet at the far reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy, with the purpose of building up a base that will allow travel back to Earth and further colonization. Ashley's Mecha-s...

Yea there is

#

I'm interested enough to buy it without even playing the demo

#

It's why I haven't bothered with the demo xD

#

One thing to ask is does the game allow for mods

#

Looks like it can

gusty aurora
#

I do have nuclear power

#

Its turns on the nuclear reactor when te battery capacity is getting low. The game puts nuclear reactor before batteries so I had to do this.

Also one of the best benchmarks suits I've seen in a single game in a while.

gusty aurora
#

Man LTN is really borked when it comes to handling multiple items.

#

It just doesn't work.

#

It works if it handle items one type at a time. (All iron ore for example) It doesn't work with this.

warm hollow
#

you'd probably be able to setup a combinator computer to sort that stuff out

#

but... why lol

#

for the most part with the items you have there you can just import iron, coal, copper, and stone

#

maybe crude oil if there's none near the base

gusty aurora
#

Mostly to give replacement parts to other base.

warm hollow
#

i reckon for things like that you should just forgo the LTN

#

i wish the wireless signal thing was part of a different mod

#

there's a building in space exploration that lets you send signals across maps

#

could use that to setup something closer to a blue chest for the LTN

My best bet is to do a bit of math and toggle the station off myself.

Yeah, we definitely need a racial fit for some type of psionicist class in most future games, if anybody finally gets the idea to include some outside-the-box concepts like artificers, illusionists, mentalists, and maybe races that resemble illithid and miniature beholder's, or at least some type of necromantic undead, mythologically archetypal, anthropomorphic imagery.

#

And I am serious, lacking artificers, gadgeteers, engineers, is another really lacking cross-section of class to add to any game that even remotely embraces any elements of Steampunk in recent, or any, RPG history, aside from maybe Wizardry 8 coming to mind.

#

I still really think every game should add bards with multiplayer as well, and classes like druids, samurai, monks, and psionicists, in any dungeon crawling aRPG that focuses on endgame content.

warm mango
# winged kelp Yeah, we definitely need a racial fit for some type of psionicist class in most ...

Idk if the game needs another class apart from the last few mastery classes worked out and a few reworks/skins. Each the of the 5 classes resemble each of the 5 time zones so adding another class doesn't seem to fit thematically. Druids already exist, and you can make the argument that sentinel is a swordsman/samurai archetype. A weaponless possiblity for a specific class would be very interesting (weaponless sentinel or primalist), and would resemble a monk

#

If another class had to be added, I can see one similar to the scion in poe. Perhaps being able to take aspects from all mastery classes, but I would also see this to be extremely hard to balance so I wouldn't hold my breath on it

winged kelp
#

On a long timeline, you'll need new classes in DLC. That's marketing.

warm mango
#

Maybe, but i feel like there are more important things to work out before getting to new classes/DLC. Poe is very successful without the addition of DLC classes, but a lot of this is likely to do how the league system works and how in depth the league mechanic can be. I would say that besides multiplayer that the most important thing for the game to work on now is planning on the first several cycles, fleshing out the current classes completely, adding to the ancient era, and graphical redesign on character models/skills

#

i remember they said most of the monetization will be cosmetic, so I wouldn't doubt cosmetic dlcs similar to how paradox games work

shrugs it was a long time ago. You could view them as more akin to different skins/voice packs, potentially with slightly different stats (can't remember tbh). Back before we were aware that (some) devs would resort to duplicitous mind-fuckery to part us from our hard earned cash.
