In how many weeks are we gonna see people wearing this type of haircut.. this "Heroin chic" fad.
Diavolo IV FTW.
Last Epoch is too generic, POE2 will have 3 polished areas and the rest will be just an meadow with different skins.
World of Diablo 4 is so well tought of, it truly is the king, almost better than Grim Dawn.
I'd be up for it. Would be up for a new greaser wave too. Seems like we should be due for something like that at some point, if these things are truly as cyclical as people claim.

frick off with ugly p2w skinner box
It had to be said. Killing shit and builds > trading with sweaty nerds and always will be.
>thinks ggg doesn't own rmt sites and bans just to give the game a feeling of authenticity to the whales while econocucks provide value to said whales with their addictive slave labour
lol
Friend offered to buy me d4 but I played a few hours of it on his account and meh. Idk. It doesn't feel like I could viable make a fun build for myself. Idk. Game feels a LOT slower than 3 and for all the problems 3 had I enjoyed the gamespeed.
easier to say why they aren't rpgs: they are primarily vehicles of psychological manipulation, skinner boxes designed to addict and milk their players.
RPG. Role-Playing Game. And what that means is player choice and agency in all possible things. >Player character creation. Either literally, or through customization of a premade character through level ups. However the game decides that works. >Further customization through player equipment. Either stat affecting equipment, or not like how was done in the later Fable games. >Lastly, but the most important, and already mentioned: PLAYER CHOICE AND AGENCY. This can work in many ways. Player dialogue, player actions, player inaction, quests, etc. This all allows the player (and the party if there is one) to have an affect on the world. I cannot stress this enough, this is THE most important part and what separates an RPG from an action game with stats.
Of course there's more to it than this but these are the basic building blocks and need to be there in combination for the game to be an RPG.
> Player dialogue, player actions, player inaction, quests, etc. This all allows the player (and the party if there is one) to have an affect on the world
so then 90% of the rpgs posted here aren't rpgs either, and almost all the jrpgs aren't rpgs
also there's plenty of games where you have to choose between 2 or more options and the outcome is just some silly with no impact on the game
character creation. Either literally, or through customization of a premade character through level ups. However the game decides that works.
So are JRPGs not RPGs? >Player dialogue, player actions, player inaction, quests, etc. This all allows the player (and the party if there is one) to have an affect on the world. I cannot stress this enough, this is THE most important part and what separates an RPG from an action game with stats.
I guess not
You're misinterpreting what I wrote, purposefully most likely. Those choices don't need to result in "earth shattering consequences that result in the apocalypse!" It can be as simple as having an effect on a single person, as long as those consequences are shown in some way.
And we're not really talking about jrpgs, they're their own genre with their own rules that seem to change from game to game. I'll admit I don't quite understand jrpgs.
>those games
What games, jrpgs? We're not talking about jrpgs, we're talking about diablo clones moron.

there's 2 quests on poe that you have 2 or more options, on grim dawn you have plenty of quests like that. Last epoch I played a bit a long time ago and remember something similar, can't say about d4 since I didn't play it.
Why the frick are you so desperate for these games to be RPGs? Diablo type games have been their own thing for ages (hack and slash), and that was fine until recently. Why are you trying to hijack another genre? ARPGs are an entirely separate genre, containing games like Mass Effect, Fable, Greedfall and whatnot.
I'm not, I'm not the OP and I don't really care what random people on internet say. I just find it funny that this argument is brought every time here on this board, this is what you guys looks like trying to defend the epic and holy title of RPG from every other game, looks like you guys are the desperate ones

Not so fast, homosexual. Don't try deleting your post to get out of looking like a moron.
excited to try last epoch when it goes on sale with my friend now that they added MP. d4 is complete dogshit TRASH though and so it shit of trashile. last game is older than me btw.
What are the best Guantlet games to buy/emulate in the current year. I remember playing trying Gauntlet Legends in an arcade a long time ago and having a blast, but I recall it was a b***h to get working in MAME or something.
All trash.

nah, that fad already came and went. Side cuts and HY haircuts died during the pandemic, sadly. It's all about the """"sexy"""" bowl cuts these days.
>sadly
Hoping for a new punk wave?
