it was playable but youd have to be pretty into borderlands and really want to take your character with you to make it worth owning if you have it on a console

Playing Borderlands while you watch TV or youtube vids or listen to podcasts is a good way to chill out, doesn't require a lot of thought to play it etc :chillpill:

They need to fix bounties for Diablo 3. People still don't complete them in groups and the meta achievement requires like 2500 finished bounties which is way too much.

Supposedly reworked bounties are coming with the opening of the Diablo 2 areas.

I actually like bl 2 a lot, even playing alone. It's like diablo but it's a fps, how is it possible to not like?

I mean, I'm overall sick of FPS games but it's still much much better than the diablo gameplay.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I'm finding it decent to play with a buddy but at the same time L4D is better coop, Path of Exile is better slot machine, and pretty much anything is better shooting. Admittedly it's all three at once but I personally prefer a game that plays to its strength.

diablo 3 is pretty fun solo on ps4 :shrug:

i mean like, if my fiance is home i'll play it with her, or with goons, but i still have fun if i want to make poo poo explode on my own, especially now that Spotify has made it super easy to play music and game at the same time

how fast is the leveling and grinding in diablo 3? cause i like path of exile but my one complaint is it takes a while to level alts and then a while more to get good gear

the best diablo-like game is xanadu next, because it's japanese, has zelda dungeon design, does not actually have very randomized loot, has metroid interconnectivity and actually is not really that diablo-like at all but it's still really really cool

I could never get into games like Diablo, I mean I've tried but it just seems to turn into way too much of a grind for my liking.

with help, u can get from level 1 to 70 in like... one session. and since mostly all the skills are viable and there's no cost at all to change up what skills you're using it stays fun at level 70+ rather than being a total mindless grind

u only run into grinding if you're going for "the optimal poo poo" but the thing is, like, nobody's forcing you to play on a difficulty level that requires optimal loot

diablo 3 is very good now, unlike when it launched, when it was loving terrible

really i mostly like the loving around with different ideas for builds and stuff; i also like making decks in netrunner or army lists in wargame alb or whatever. the problem is that all of the above just say 'here you go, here's all the pieces, make what you want' and most arpgs make you play for twenty hours before you get there
