Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

Release date is 6/6/23

I'll be pre-ordering Diablo 4. Hopefully it's more like 2 and not like 3 or Immortal.

It's live service, in what way do you mean? An endgame that lasts longer than a week or two before quitting?

If D4 sucks or end game isn't interesting, there will be POE2 probably soon after D4 releases. Path of Exile is my all time favorite game, still play it. New league started today on PC and you can tell the league mechanic was inspired by Hades and other rogue like's.

I'll wait for POE2 as the first ones graphics and animations just aren't up to par for me. When does it release?

Legendary game is FINALLY out

they haven't said yet, people are expecting a few months after D4 probably.

I've been playing a nice Diablo 2 clone. its called Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr: Prophecy. it plays just like D2 and the graphics are pretty nice for a 4 year old game. but its very dark. the inquisitor classes are similar to D2 also. Crusaders are sword and board tanks or heavy weapons specialists. Assassins are akin to Amazons. Tech priests are the summoner class, they teleport tech constructs into battle. the Psyker is the offensive caster and is pretty badass. the psykers manipulate the warp and if they do it too much, they become corrupted by the chaos. you might end up summoning nurglings if you get carried away.

I must say the voice-acting, dialogue, lore and overall story are all very well done. its much better than the average ARPG

they just released a new DLC with a Sororitas class.

I looked at this when it first launched and passed on it because most warhammer games were not my style. I might check it out, is the loot as good as D2? That kind of thing would sway my opinion one way or another.

Yikes it looks like it has like 30 dlc's, what are each DLC?

Fishpicker · 12-10-2022, 08:15 AM

So... its actually two games; the original wh40k: inquisitor: martyr and the newer and improved wh40k: inquisitor: prophesy. most of the DLCs are minor things like mission sets, new visuals. I haven't purchased any of those and I won't. the Sororitas DLC is a new class and will have a different campaign than the other classes.

I'd recommend holding off until one of the seasonal sales to buy this. if you bought the 2 games and the sororitas DLC now, it would run you North of $80. I bought the 2 games bundled during the summer sale and got it for $18.

the loot is comparable to D2 in that it is tiered. you can find socketed items and further enchant them with shards/crystals (gems) or you can install imperial psalms/psalm codes (ruins/ruin sets). the game is loot centric like diablo. sounds great but it can be pretty tedious going through all the loot and looking at 3 to 10 stat enhancements on each little thing. theres plenty of room in inventory, though. and you can put loot in your storage bin and move it to a different character. this game feels like the designers intentionally set out to make the wh40k version of D2 and keep it as close to D2 as possible.

oh and you can put a custom paint job on every weapon and every armor.

Fishpicker · 12-10-2022, 08:25 AM

no procedural generation though. so the re-playability will be a touch lesser.

Any strategy players out there? Picked up age of wonders planet fall on Xbox sale. Seems decent from what little I've played so far. Also got sudden strike 4 but haven't played it yet.
