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.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
