catlord posted:Hm. I tried out that copy of Torchlight I got on GOG for free a while ago and it was ok, but I didn't love it. I've realised that I'm not a Diablo fan, I'm just a fan of Diablo 1, so I've been trying to find something that's more D1 than D2 and Torchlight fell more on the D2 side. How's Grim Dawn, in that way? As someone who also loves Diablo 1 to death - though I still love the ARPGs that have come since - this is an extremely insane thing to say given that Torchlight 1 is about as Diablo 1 clone as anything has ever gotten. Granted the gameplay is a little more modern than that.

Artelier posted:How's Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus? Still itching for a fast paced shooter with good gun feel, looking to charge in and shoot crazy things off. Loved The New Order but got tired of Old Blood pretty quickly, felt a bit too squishy there. But could just be because I played them back to back. Put it on easy and you can run around blasting. The game makes you move very fast but puts you in very tight corridors for most of it so it doesn't play well on most difficulty settings. It is absolutely worth playing to see the mocap scenes they made. The story is totally wild and the actors give it 100%, I loved every second of that stuff.

OutOfPrint posted:I'm completely loving bored of the I lol'd because the over the top metal stuff is completely at odds with what looks like stiff melee combat right out of Dark Messiah, with a sprinkle of nu-Shadow Warrior on top. Maybe the game's fun anyway, but it's one hell of a bad contrast.

Hwurmp posted:This seems silly to me, because e.g. DUSK and AMID EVIL are both metal as gently caress yet totally different from each other Oddly enough, I think "metal AF" is a better description of the aesthetic I was ranting about than what I wrote. Metal, and the metal AF aesthetic, can be used properly, with DooM 2016 coming to mind, but man is it overused these days. That said, it's better than the bad old days of the mid-2000's where every piece of music in a game that was supposed to highlight an intense fight or set piece was dubstep.

journey to the savage planet is actually kinda neat. its not a discovery type games, its a whole campaign where you land on this weird planet and nee dto reseach and shoot your way through it. its very pretty and metroid like, unlocking new abilities to do more poo poo. you can also pick a dog as your character picture and you just bark and growl and stuff instead of any voiced things lol

But if the Dubstep Plague had never happened we wouldn't have gotten the Dubstep Gun in the Saint's Row franchise, arguably the most cutting criticism of Games Industry Culture in the form of a fictional weapon ever devised.

Speaking of epic store games, how did Genesis Alpha One end up turning out? It’s out on steam in February and the bit I played on PS4 was fun but really rough around the edges.

Granted the gameplay is a little more modern than that. Couple posts ago catlord ends up on Darkest Dungeon of all games as the best modern iteration of Diablo I. Which means catlord is looking more for theme, which is a valid thing to look for but framing it as "I'm looking for a game like Diablo I" without specifying that seems a bit off.

I had initial high-hopes impressions when SW2 came out when I first played it, then the more I played it the more I hated it. It's really such a mess. Just stick to the main, power through asap and don't think too much about all the inventory loot management charms, just slot +Crit Chance/Crit Damage and be done with it.

Shadow Warrior 2 is like 85% going out to kill bosses to upgrade your gear/stats to go out and kill harder bosses to upgrade your gear/stats to go out and you see where this is going. If you just want to play through the story because you got it cheap that’s fine but be aware that the majority of the game is just like the main story but with no voiceover.

And also the main story is incredibly bad. Everything about Shadow Warrior 2 that isn't the core combat mechanics is complete trash, and even that's only good because it's basically the same thing it was in the first game.

Shadow Warrior 2 was fine enough, but I'm reasonably sure everyone in this thread has a backlog they could play through instead. That would be a better use of time than playing Shadow Warrior 2. I've been playing The Surge 2 and the jumps in quality from Lords of the Fallen, to The Surge, to The Surge 2 is like a low key version of the Witcher games'. The Surge 2 is really solid so far. The combat feels less stiff than the previous game, parrying is easier, and the locational damage system is still a great addition to the genre.
