If this kind of game appeals to you, play Diablo II with Median XL mod.

It's the pinnacle.

So paladin being dark skinned in D2 was fine but not barb in D4. Was paladin in D2 auch KANGZ N SHIATZ? :roll:

Yes, yes he was. Even as a kid i thought that was fucking stupid.

Of course, it didn't matter because with a couple of armor pieces you could just hide the niggerness away.

Not anymore though.

Diablo 4 - lootboxes

LMAO. I will not be surprized

So lets see...
- No stats (ok.....attack, defense, life)
- cooldowns
- linear talent tree
- no procedurally generated maps
- but...but...its dark..and "gritty"....
- basiclally its D3...dumbed down...with darker graphics..

This is WAY worse than D3. Its THE END (if it stays this way)

Back to POE and GD.

Where they said that will be no stats, linear talent tree, cooldowns, etc?

PS : GD has a lot of cooldowns and PoE has in some motivemntation skills and on frost wall.

You can see it in all these twich streams. wait till one of them opens the char sheet....

Pathfinder: Wrath
The aesthetic is pretty good, though, surprisingly so. It looks like a higher budget Grim Dawn. Would've been good if it was a party-based (TB) RPG not made by Blizzard.

Swamp level
[Outer Kurast Nightmares Intensify]
And Hell will be Volcano level
Just once, it would be cool if they went with hell as the frozen level, or a more "catholic" hell that is a torturous dimension of emptyness, void, nothingness and distance from divinity
Despite the "the holy see" not disputing the Divina Commedia Inferno as a plausible vision of Hell, it is still not supported.
"The Emperor of the Realm of Woe stood forth out of the ice from midway up his breast;
and I compare more closely with a Giant, than merely with his arms the Giants do;
consider now how great that whole must be, that with such parts as these may be compared.
If, once as beautiful as ugly now,he still raised up his brows against his Maker, justly doth every woe proceed from him."

You can play the Dante's Inferno game.

Now that this thread reminds me.... is Diablo III worth as a complete time waster bought at the lowest price possible? I mean, merely as something akin to Titan Quest (shut your brain and see stuff die) and the like, or it's actively broken and unfun?

I enjoyed greatly Diablo 1 and 2 for what they were, even if I never "got" the grinding (still prefer Diablo 1, though).

Dark my ass. What's next? Hype for Bethesda's fallout 5? If you think this is going to be a decent rpg you should get your head checked.

lol
that statue is the one from the movie "The Exorcist"

Do you know why it is the in Exorcist movie?
Because the wanted to use something mesopotamian and if fitted the film with christian mythological description of angels and the vision of fallen angels. But the thing is that Pazuzu is an protective figure in some context and destructive in other. And he is the opposite to evil Lamastu.

info from announcement:

- 5 classes
- new artstyle, classes custimizable, both sex and faces, skin tones etc.
- 5 lands, open world without loading with day and night cycles, NON LINEAR CAMPAIGN
- barbarian has 4 weapon slots
- "more build customization"
- skill tree is back
- d2 runewords but enchanced. Instead of static "secret" runewords runes will have triggers, effects etc to build up runewords (i think this is their take on POE like support system)
- itemization: sets won't be OP anymore, legendaries will be main way of build making, affixes for magic/rare items will include build changing ones not just shit +1 stats

attack/defence stat seems to be only thing bad here but so far so good. If they will deliver what they are saying this should be great arpg.

art style is on fucking point. D2 art returns !

Funny, from day 1 the diablow series were a king of dumbing down RPGs until nothing RPG remains - and yet apparently they managed to outdo themselves and dumb it down even more? My, that's quite an achievement.
