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.

people have the right to hear from someone other than a fanboy

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.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra generated a lot of buzz earlier this month, but in addition to its most powerful laptop with an NVIDIA chip, Microsoft also has a more affordable laptop lineup, which has been waiting for an update for quite a while. Today, Microsoft announced the eighth-generation Surface Laptop. The new Surface Laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite processors. These chips offer faster CPU performance, up to 58% faster graphics, and 80 TOPS Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for on-device AI processing. Like the previous models, these chips retain their great energy efficiency, and Microsoft says that buyers can expect up to 20 hours of work on a single charge. The laptop is available in two sizes: 13.8-inch and 15-inch. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between the new and previous models, as Microsoft is not taking any major design leaps, except for the new Jade color, which may look familiar to Surface Laptop 5 owners. Other colors include Platinum, Black, and Dune. The 15-inch variant got a higher-resolution display. It is a 3,270 x 2,180 resolution screen with a pixel density of 262 ppi (the 13-inch model has a 201 ppi density) and a maximum brightness of 600 nits SDR and HDR. Unlike the Surface Pro 12th-gen, which is available with optional OLED displays, the Surface Laptop sticks with IPS, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Another notable change in the Surface Laptop 8 is its trackpad. It now provides haptic feedback when you perform various actions in apps and the operating system. It is a relatively new feature that Microsoft brought to Windows 11 in recent updates, and it is only available on certain devices, such as the Logitech MX Master 4, Surface Slim Pen 2, the upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra, and now the Surface Laptop 8. The new Surface Laptop with the new Surface Pro Like its tablet-shaped sibling, the new Surface Laptop is notably more expensive. It starts at a $1,599 for a 13.8-inch configuration with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. However, in the US, the base model has double the storage while keeping the same price. Available configurations include up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB SSD (user-removable PCIe Gen4). The Surface Laptop 8 is now available for purchase on the official Microsoft website.
    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors by Taras Buria So far, 2026 has been rich in Surface announcements. Microsoft started with a fresh lineup of Surface for Business devices powered by Intel's new Core Ultra 300 processors. Then the company revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop with NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Now, it is time for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Qualcomm processors. Microsoft's original Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X1 chips debuted in late May 2024. Two years later, Microsoft is finally updating the lineup with new models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors. The 12th-gen Surface Pro continues the well-established formula of Microsoft's flagship tablet, and Microsoft is not even changing colors, as the tablet will be available in three colors: Dune, Black, and Platinum. The most important changes are mostly hidden inside. Microsoft switched from the Snapdragon X1 to the new Snapdragon X2, which promises up to 53% faster graphics performance than the previous generation and up to 15.5 hours of battery life. The built-in NPU is also much more powerful, and it can run at up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI processing. Like before, the new Surface Pro is available with a 13-inch IPS display, and Microsoft is still offering OLED as a separate, more expensive configuration. Speaking of configurations, the Surface Pro will be available with a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or a 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite. Microsoft expanded the available RAM configurations to 64GB (previously 32GB was the maximum), while storage remains unchanged at 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of user-replaceable PCIe Gen4 SSDs. The new Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop Other specs remain mostly unchanged. The computer has the same 1440p Windows Hello webcam, two USB4 ports for charging, data, and display output, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, dual speakers, and compatibility with Surface Pro Signature and Flex keyboards. With that said, there is one very important aspect of the Surface Pro that changed significantly, and it is the price. While the previous-gen Surface Pro launched at $999 for the base configuration, in 2026, the entry-level Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2, 16GB of memory, and 256GB will set you back an eye-watering $1,499. To sweeten the pill, Microsoft is running a limited-time promotion where Surface Pro buyers can get a free Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard. The promo runs from June 16 through June 30. The new Surface Pro is available now on the official Microsoft Store website.

    • AI Agents Now Score Taco Bell and KFC Workers Via WhatsApp From Day One

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      The next time you apply for a shift at Taco Bell or KFC, you may be interviewed, assessed, and onboarded by three AI agents named Maria, Daniel, and Claire — and those agents will continue scoring your behavior long after you clock in for the first time.................... For workers applying to or already employed at those chains, the implication is concrete: an AI system is assessing their conversational behavior over WhatsApp and phone calls, storing that behavioral data, and using it to inform decisions about whether they are hired, how they are onboarded, and whether they are flagged as a flight risk https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318390/20260615/ai-agents-now-score-taco-bell-kfc-workers-via-whatsapp-day-one.htm
