fall guys is just the netflix effect finally happening to console subscriptions, getting launched by the network effect of having everyone grab it off ps plus to have the gamer equivalent of water cooler talk.

I really liked diablo 2, only playing it single-player at a single-player pace, and then i went over to my friend's house and he was like "wanna watch me play diablo" and i was like "uh not really but okay" and he went online with his max level character and started farming loot for an hour and it just completely took the magic out of the game.

People who play on-line multi-player games are all sociopaths. Unless it's co-op.

My only Diablo-like was Titan Quest, which was really an entertaining singleplayer play-through but drat it was a long slog (Steam has me at 42hrs but some of that was newgame+ futzing); I wish it had included a hidden counter of every mouseclick you made in-game, I bet it took a significant percentage of my mouse button life. Idk if I'd pay the full asking for it but if you dig on Diabolo clones put this on your ITAD watchlist: https://isthereanydeal.com/game/titanquestanniversaryedition/info/ fake edit: fanatical has a key for a decent price right now: https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/titan-quest-anniversary-edition

Delve, bestiary and some atlas thing) but it got so difficult to keep track of all the mechanics that I burned out.

diablo 2 is still fun if you get one of the total conversions so there's more interesting drops and play it single player or with friends who arent going to farm/cheat in overpowered items. like most of these things the magic is in finding stuff that feels powerful to you and not trying to minmax versus 7 billion people path of exile is one of those games that feels like it was specifically designed to prove to you that you don't actually want what you think you want. if you asked me what id want in diablo 2 successor instead of diablo 3, id probably describe poe, but it is so loving bland. i think i have 60 hours in it and can not remember a single second titan quest had a fun setting, but again i cant remember poo poo from it other than it felt too slow for an arpg

i liked titan quest a lot cause you could do the dual specializations, so you could be a fire warrior or a shield druid or a lightning necromancer and a bunch of other combinations

the pirate carrier in ev:nova is really really good if you get into it and refuckulate cargo space and poo poo if you have a configured pirate carrier you can raid entire planets it owns

i loved the escape velocity games and, like subnautica, i wish i could go back and play them for the first time again because now i know everything about them and they're easy. still fun, but hard to find a challenge. like in nova all you do is: 1. haul luxury goods from europa to earth a dozen times until you have like 50k 2. hire 5 cargo drones, repeat until you have about 150k 3. release the cargo drones, hire the cheapest most busted-rear end terrapin, switch to trading medical goods and luxury goods between earth and new ireland 4. continue hiring terrapins and running that loop until you have like a million bucks (20 minutes) 5. release all the terrapins, buy a valkyrie or starbridge, load it up with marine platoons, hire a couple of fighter escorts 6. go into an uninhabited system on a trade route and wait for an un-escorted leviathan to come by, then capture it as escort (pegasus works too) 7. go back to doing the earth/new ireland run with your giant new ship (you will now have to pay a 4000 credit bribe to land on earth but lol) 8. make 100 million credits in about another 20 minutes 9. congration you are 1 hour into the game and can buy everything and missions have no meaning still fun though.

reminds me a lot of Uplink in that sense. if you buy a level 4 log deleter and the stuff required to hack banks before you do the one "trace a large transaction" unique mission, you can trace the transaction and then just steal all the money that was transferred and erase your tracks and oop look i now haveenough money to buy every single computer and software upgrade in the first 30 minutes of the game. welp
