It's cheap when compared with so many hours you spend on it.
My current gametime is 2300 hours. Have 600+ paragon chars: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/zeroxxx-6198/

Its eighty ****ing dollars. If I wanted to waste that cash on one item, I'd replace my PSP.
Comment has been collapsed.
Its still cheaper on the PS3 if I could catch a sale there. Honestly, I still consider US$40 to be too expensive for a single game unless it just released, and even then, I'd prefer to wait.

You will find I don't own a great many Blizzard games. I wonder why? :P

I don't know what you can get it for in the Greens, but Diablo III Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition (contains both the base Diablo III and expansion set) was $19.99 a couple days ago for the PS3. I have to admit I was tempted to snag one, but I'm still sitting on my Diablo 1 Battle Chest and Diablo 2 Battle Chest and have yet to play either, so I didn't see a need to get this one yet.

well there was this one time it was 10 dollars at a retail store here in the states (toys r us)and people price matched it at best buy, walmart, and the like. was also like 3 months or so after it came out.

Eighty? o.O I paid 20 euros when it was on the last sale, even Reaper of Souls gets discounted to 20.

was about to say the incredible adventures of van helsing too.you should try it its a nice game.

Hey Delta. Came here to recommend trying out Van Helsing as well. It's full of bugs but I found it enjoyable even I don't like the genre. Haven't tried the second one yet but the first one was ok at least. Definitely better than Torchlight or Titan Quest. It's very much like Torchlight but with much better setting, graphics, storytelling and overall atmosphere. There is also a mini-game in which they combined the basic gameplay with tower defense elements. Players like it so much they made a standalone title for that called Deathtrap. So you might wanna look into that as well a try something little bit different. And besides that, there are Borderlands titles which is basically the very same thing but played as FPS. But I'm sure you know that.

Van Helsing is an excellent $5 game. Highly recommended.
Diablo 3 + Expansion offers slightly more value when $40, I feel, but $5 Van Helsing > $80 D3+RoS.
Comment has been collapsed.
Van Helsing is fun, somehow I actually installed that one and enjoyed it.
Stopped playing for some reason, probably because I caught the whiff of a tower defence thing coming up and said no thanks... :) And it's possible I guessed wrong, too... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You most certainly should :)
They're quite fun.
If you like the first one, let me know. I "might" have a preorder copy of the 2nd one sitting around that includes bonus supporter DLC that, well, I never sold/used/gave away.
Comment has been collapsed.
Already mentioned in the opening post. Simply not a fan of the second game. Not even sure of the reason. I just get bored and stop playing, despite the fact it isn't anything different from the first game, which I played from start to end, enjoying myself the whole time.

diablo games focused on grind all time and in the torchlight 2 u can grind everywhere everytime and still has a decent story and world

Spellforce is a mix between RPG and startegy
the original has some bugs, haven't reached the second one yet.

I only have SpellForce 2: Faith in Destiny. Is it a series I could play at any point, or should I wait until I get the rest?

Since i'm only at the first, i'm not sure.
but as far as i know, you can play either one. just not the expansions first, because you can import your char

No, I actually think you should drop SF2 and just stick with the first series as it's better. Get Spellforce Platinum and just play that.

Seems I have Darkstone, I'll give it a try.
The original Dungeon Siege was something I tried but couldn't get into. Which is a shame, I loved the demo years ago back when it was getting released.
Comment has been collapsed.
dungeon siege was great, but it was massively improved on by its predecessor in a lot of ways, so if you haven't given that one a try (DS2) try it. and in all honesty you don't really need the story from the first game as it is only referenced in passing at a very few points.

By its predecessor? I think you meant by it's successor (DS2).

I'll stay away from it, honestly. Always online and have to buy characters. No thanks.

No you don't have to spend a dime. The chars you buy from currency that drops in game(sure you can buy them for real money too but so what).
Try divine divinity that is diablo styled game.
Comment has been collapsed.
You really don't need to spend anything on Marvel Heroes. You get to try 11 different starter characters, up to level 10, and then choose one to fully level to level 60. You can prestige characters at level 60 to gain additional costumes, which can be rerolled to create new costumes, that you would otherwise have to buy from the in game store. The devs are constantly ensuring that all characters play well and are competitive, through the 52 review process. Most importantly, it has the Diablo 2 feel -- David Brevik is one of the lead designers, after all. Try it for a while, you just might like it. Check the forums first to see which characters have been reviewed, though. Those ones will be more fun. As an example, Captain America and Punisher have just been reviewed, and are now very fun to play. Hulk and Juggernaut stomp everything, as is to be expected. Deadpool will not be reviewed until around the end of summer, so maybe don't let him be your first choice. Cheers! :D

What about Rise of the Argonauts? It not exactly like Diablo 3, but is Action RPG.
There is also Sacred 2, that i dont understand how people say that is a classic, never liked it...
Did you tried Titan Quest with the DLC? I can personally confirm that it a diferent experience than the base game D:
There is also Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms, very interesting game, im currently playing it, and i dont dislike it that much, sadly it lags a little in my machine D:
Also there is all the others that already were mentioned D:
And darn, now that i think about it, i realize i dont remember or find others games like Diablo... i should browse steam to make some whislist... D:
Update 1: Oh! Lord of the Rings: War of the North, is ARPG with some Co-op features, didnt know it was like that, i will try it myself D:

Well, most of the rpg element is the deity tree with the skills and nothing else D: But still is fun to play, very hack and slash D:

Not sure if Diablo 2 would count. Some people prefer it over Diablo 3.
If not perhaps the Sacred series (probably Sacred 2 Gold) might be of interest.

I know that feel bro D:
That was what i think when i started playing the beta... but like a fool i trusted them, hoping they will change things in the launch release... and now i only cry for all that money lost D:
Now i only have Starcraft 2... at least the story is good enough D:

What in the name of all the hell? PC version was developed first, then Blizzard made console port from scratch (as they say). D3 on PC is in no way a "console port". So low quality of the game does not depend on platform but it does on feature implementation.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not really, think about it, they reduced greatly the number of slot for skills (making the game really streamlined), the way the skill systems works unlocking with lvl up (the most crappy things they could do ever).
You say they worked from scratch, but that is also a lie, they just reused most of the code and then added a couple of things, they said they worked from scratch because they needed to look like the idea was recient and not expected from them, from start their aim was the console peasants, they wanted the cash not the fans D:
Also, the quality of a game really change from console to platform, because there are features and things that in a PC are much better implemented than in consoles (lets take Diablo 2 as example, the number of skills slots, normally we have 1-9 skills slots, with left+right mouse buttons, tab for exchange the right mouse skill and others hotkeys that give us a great edge in this type of games, but in diablo 3 you only have 6 skills slots in total, including the right+left mouse buttons and you cant change the skills quick, so... dumbed down?) also, sadly the "quality" of recent games leave much to be said D:
Comment has been collapsed.
They dumbed it down for MMO players, who seems to be the only people who enjoyed the game. Ironically the console version fixed so many issues that the PC version had that they started to incorporate those features into the PC game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed. Sacred 3 is a totally different kind of game.

I honestly dislike Diablo 2. 3 was more to my liking from what I played of the demo. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Developers dumbed down many games....for console players...
Let's face it. There are not many games that are worth the price.
Except Skyrim.
And with Diablo 2, I had serious issues last time I tried to play it.
The gameplay was way too fast... I'm guessing I have too decent PC to play this game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sacred 2 Gold. You can find it very cheap these days (even in bundles) and you will put over 100h in it, with decent graphics.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can get the base game for $20 during sales, although it is pretty rare. Also, it'll cost you another $20 for the expansion :/
I got lucky at the expansion. Someone sold the limited edition Reaper of Souls collectible at a thrift store with the game code still unused. I got it around ~$10 :3

Divine Divinity - if you dont mind it being a lot hevier on rpg element than diablo
Iesabel - just pointing out, havent played myself
Konung - its very odd, but enjoyed it - played first one out of three. Its HARD to learn.
Numen Contest of Heroes - havent played myself
Sacred 1 and 2 - played only first, kinda fun, but feels repetitive
Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 - played only second one. You can either play with party up to 6 chars or solo. Reccomend DS 2 Deluxe Edition (not steam one) Includes expansion that adds to fun.
Silverfall - played it ages ago, dont remember it very well, bit i think it was fun.
Hinterland - im guessing you wonlt like it if you didnt like Depths of Peril. I liked both.
Jade Empire - not really diablo style, but worth giving a look :>
Comment has been collapsed.
Another +1 for Divine Divinity. Get hooked on it... then buy Beyond Divinity and laugh at how bad it was... then Divinity 2 and lament at how much potential it had... Then Dragon Commander and love the unique strategy blend game... then buy Original Sin and love it ;)
Also, watch the Steam reveal "nostalgia" trailer and laugh your ass off :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Jade Empire was cool, but already a little console-y. Silverfall was incredibly buggy and overall low quality. Sacred and Dungeon Siege (not their respective third episodes) were cool games, but are heavily dated today. Still, in a cheap deal...
Comment has been collapsed.
I found Silverfall boring, but I did like Divine Divinity. I now own the entire series. P

I'll try a different perspective. Some older games or ones on other consoles (maybe pick-em up used for cheap).
Some Classics from the genesis Collection, that are still quite good:
X360:
Gamecube:
PS2:
There are many more I'm likely forgetting.

Oh dear God! I wouldn't recommend Too Human to my worst enemy. The single worst gaming experience of my entire life. The original massive development time, mega hype, mega flop.
My girlfriend at the time was going away with her parents, I took her to the airport and this came out that day. I picked it up on the way home and I forced myself to finish it.
I genuinely think it is my least favourite game of all time.
I fucking loved X-Men Legends though and Ultimate Alliance. Wish they'd kept on making those games :( especially the x-men ones.
Comment has been collapsed.
Like I said "You'll super love it, or hate it". I loved it, but can definitely see why so many hate it. It had some massive flaws and holes.
Yeah, while Legends is older and looks rougher than Ultimate Alliance, I prefer it more.
Comment has been collapsed.
Own and played most of those. Can't find Phantasy Star Online, except for the XBox where it requires a Live account even for offline, making it pointless to buy at this time since you can't make an account. :P
For the Champions games, I find Dark Alliance II to be my favourite of the nine games made in the Snowblind engine (though I haven't played the paratrooper game, it wasn't released here).
Comment has been collapsed.
Out of curiosity why don't you like Titan Quest? It's basically Diablo 2 set in Greece/Egypt/etc. Had tons of fun with it over the years(don't judge by my hours on steam i'v had a retail copy since it came out.
As for suggestions try Dungeon Siege/Dungeon Siege 2(tho it's retarded that you can't get the expansion for it on steam, i have retail copies of em). Grim Dawn, it's made by devs of Titan Quest, tho i'm personally waiting for it to come out of early access before buying it. Sacred 1/2 tho imho the second one was crap. Fate, idk which is the latest expansion for it, if you don't mind the graphics it's a ton of fun.

Titan Quest
Super buggy and a lot of extremely non-viable builds for a solo game. Still one of the better titles in the genre, should get a proper remake with some decent production value and a little more feel to the setting, it's rather lackluster in terms of story.
Comment has been collapsed.
Super buggy? How so? I'v played hundreds of hours and never ran into any serious problem. Sure there's non-viable builds but the same can be said for many of the games in this genre, even "legends" like Diablo 2. The lackluster story is also a common "feature". We don't play them for story, we play them for progressively harder gameplay and grinding our brains out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes but you can't fault one game for a fault or multiple faults of the genre itself. I don't really play multiplayer, i enjoy playing it alone, i only played it with some mates a couple of times and we had no issue so i can't rly judge how stable it is.
Comment has been collapsed.
Titan Quest 2 has more solo play builds than D2 does. Literally anything with Dream can solo the end game. Only 3 classes in D2 could solo Hell Baal runs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Every single class(and class combo) can solo the game. It isn't the builds that suck, it is just you who sucks at the game, and/or making efficient builds. If you even look at the forums there are 5-10 different builds per class that are able to solo the end game on the hardest difficulty.
Again, there are only 3 builds from 3 classes that can solo the endgame of D2, and this is dependent on which enemies spawn.

Titan Quest is just one of those games that didn't appeal to me. The genre is hit and miss with me. Sometimes I'll get one I'll love to death, other times I'll consider it utter crap, and yet there is often little difference between the games.

Not truly diablo style but worth a look I guess.
As other's have mentioned already. Van Helsing is funny and pretty good game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm surprised to see it at 20€ base + 20€ expansion on amazon.de whereas "English versions" seems to be quite more expensive. Usually blockbuster games don't become half priced permanently before they are like 10 years old^^
Just thought I'd mention it anyway, maybe you got someone who could buy it for you from there and give you the codes (client language can be chosen whichever you want). D3 should be cross-server-play as far as I know... then again I'm not too sure if there aren't some special "deals" for the SEA region...
As for other games; I don't think there are other quite as fast-paced diablo-style games and hardly any of really good quality in the first place. A warning though too: I don't think the console version is useful at all if item hoarding is your thing. Sure it's fine for some hack'n'slashing especially with friends, but it's just not quite the same game as on a PC.
If not DIII, then I'd aim for "Lost Ark" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL5zGvsmSM0

I think for them to remove the level-based skill system would require a lot of base code rebuilding, which would be a lot more work than it's really worth in the end.
I guess the best way to express your displeasure with the practice would be what you're doing - abstaining from purchasing any more content related to the game.
I'm just sorry that you can't look past something that minor to the stuff they added for end-game players. =/
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree, but it's not like it doesn't have one at all. Just because you don't like the way they implemented it doesn't make it a major issue with anyone but yourself.
I'm not saying it to belittle your opinion, but it's just that - your opinion. The system is there, even if slightly flawed.
Comment has been collapsed.
I personally found the first Van Helsing game to be needlessly complicated, as well as seemingly dragging on forever. Yes, the idea of it is good, but the execution could have been more smooth.
Because of my experience with the first, I never picked up the second one.

Tried the Diablo 3 demo, enjoyed it, said "
****it" to the price,couldn't find a torrent with anything past the base release, missed the recent PSN sale (face it, $25 on PS3 is cheaper than it will ever be on the Battle.net store). Too lazy to hook up my PS2 for the classic Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II.Titles you can avoid listing
FATE - The series fails to really keep me interested for long.
Path of Exile - I'm really not a fan of this, so we can avoid that being included on any lists.
RAW - Realms of Ancient War - No.
Space Hack - But really, who would recommend this?
Titan Quest - Tried when I got the base game bundled long ago, not interested in returning.
Torchlight - Enjoyed and beaten the first, but something about the second keeps me from playing it for more than a few hours per save.
