I played this game for about a week with a vanquisher first, destroyer second before I had gotten bored of it. Tried to my an alchemist (or whatever that class is called) but I didn't want to play through the same exact story line for the third time. Its a great dungeon crawler game, but I have found I get bored of pure dungeon crawlers with no variation in the story somewhat fast.

Yes, it is. Download the mod tools, or read the forums, and learn how to make mods.

You can do anything you want with this game.

They gave the modding tools they made the game with away for free..

Tell me, what can I do with the mod tools? You say you can do anything with these tools...give me some examples.

Just because you have mod tools doesn't make the game anymore enjoyable. It's all the same looking.

Agreed. I think the people here who keep touting that it's a great game just don't want to admit they paid $20.00 for a so-so game that has a wow factor for about 2 hours.

You can make your own damn game.

Instead of being lazy, how about you actually do the research on your own?

The mod tools they gave us, are the exact same tools they made the game with.

You can change the game 100% and there are already people working on doing so.

If you don't like the game fine. But please shut up about others opinion on the game, you just look like an idiot.

I guess it's ok to foam at the mouth over it but to say it's no good is wrong? Because my opinion differs from you means I have no right to express them? Boohoo to you.

IMO....The game sucks and there isn't anything you can do about it. It's boring, repetitive and unbalanced.

You can make your own damn game.

Really???? Then show me the work you've accomplished since you're so high and mighty about modding...I'm sure you couldn't even begin to understand how to mod a game let alone tell someone else how to do it...That I'm 100% sure of. I've done some modding on other games and understand what it's all about.

If I already don't like a game what makes you think I want to put the effort into creating something for it??

You're just trolling now.

The mod tools have been out a about three or four days and your demanding to see MY work..

I have attempted to mod a game, I used to mod Duke 3d, Quake, Doom, Doom 2.

If you don't like the game, leave the thread, don't follow the advice I'm giving you to look at all the amazing mods that people are turning out and working on, on the official site.

Quit trolling. You're wrecking the game for the rest of us.

Sorry but I can have my opinion on this game just as much as you.

How can I be wrecking a game with an opinion? You sound like a fanboy who just got his feelings hurt.

It's a game. Get over it.

It's only fair to people to show them that not everyone "loves" this game so they can at least have more than 1 point of view.

To anyone looking to waste their money on this game I'll give you the lowdown on it.

It's a ripoff of Fate..nothing more and nothing less.

You do dungeon crawling. Nothing more and nothing less.

The dungeons look almost identical to each other.

Go up to town, get a quest and go back to the dungeon. Pretty standard for 1999.

The items are very unbalanced. Rare items don't even compare to some of the more common items.

There's so much loot dropped that it isn't even enjoyable to pick it up because there isn't any incentive to.

Even on hard mode you can easily beat the game without dying.

Oh yea, there's an editor so you can create your own bland looking game.

Don't follow the advice I'm giving you to look at all the amazing mods that people are turning out and working on, on the official site.

Amazing mods? Amazing mods?

There are no amazing mods. Just little hacks that add a different twist. Nothing that exactly enhances the gameplay. You are a fanboy.

Sorry to rain on you're parade...

Ignore my posts if you don't like them.

Not really a ripoff when the lead designer was also the designer of said game. More of a "use what has been proven to work in previous games I have designed".

Development of the game is led by Travis Baldree, designer of Fate, and Max Schaefer and Erich Schaefer, co-designers of Diablo and Diablo II, joined by the team that developed Mythos.

Exactly. It's the same hash that's already out there only with different use of mesh.

It's not this "amazingly, oh my God" game that deserves the credit it's getting...IMO

and it ****es me off that I didn't go with my gut instinct and not spend my money on it.

So yea, I'm going to diss this game as much as I want. It's my opinion and I'm using it.

You don't understand. I'll make it easier for you.

1) Stating your opinion is fine.

2) Trying diminish other peoples opinion about the game is not.

Here is what you said

I think the people here who keep touting that it's a great game just don't want to admit they paid $20.00 for a so-so game that has a wow factor for about 2 hours.

Basically you are slagging us who like the game, "we (who think the game is great) don't want to admit we bought a so-so game with a wow factor for 2 hours".

You are complaining and "crying" (as you like to call it) just as much as everyone else is when you post and act the way you do.

EDIT: Also, instead of whining about not liking the game, you could have waited awhile. There is a free demo on their site now which you could have tried, seen you didn't like, and saved $20.

I'm "crying and complaining" because I FEEL that I've been cheated out of my money for a game that doesn't live up to the views expressed in other peoples opinions.

Not because my feelings got hurt.

Sorry but its hard for me to agree with someone who spent $20 on a game without trying the demo then feels cheated out of it when they do not like it as much as they thought they would have.

I was all excited for a decent Diablo clone until I saw the graphics; I hate cartoon-style/cell shading in video games. Just looks too damn cheesy for my tastes. Oh well.

Glad to see the originals Diablo devs are still working though. Thanks to them I wasted far too many hours duping 'Godly Plate of the Whale' and 'Kings Sword of the Heavens' when I was young.

He's not being a fanboy, the game is genuinely good. Also, I think a page ago someone told you to shut the **** up on commenting on others' opinions. You seem to have misunderstood there, he's not shutting you up. He's shutting you up on commenting on others' opinions. Now stop trolling and go do something useful.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
