Go "inconito". I think something I had filled the date to make me too young. It's ridiculous that entering drop down fields proves your age.
It doesn't prove your age. It proves that you declared yourself to be of age.
It proves that something or someone, not necessarily you, declared yourself to be of age.

So many great memories, and such high level of addiction. Temping...
Re: Diablo II: Resurrected
#174I was pretty addicted to Diablo 2 for a couple years as a teenager. Never got into WoW or anything, but I wasted at least one entire summer doing nothing but playing Diablo 2. Never was a big fan of 3. It felt more like playing some kind of diablo themed version of gauntlet or something with a bit more depth. It didn't feel like Diablo 2. I tried another recent one that was supposed keep the spirit of diablo 2. I thi…
> It felt more like playing some kind of diablo themed version of gauntlet Which gauntlet game is your point of reference?
effingwewt's right, either legends or dark legacy but more specifically this one
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_(2014_video_game)
That came out in 2014. I played both that and D3 around the same time. That version of gauntlet feels heavily inspired by diablo 3 to the point where I was playing them interchangeably when i'd get bored of one or the other and it was only ever really my girlfriend and I and our roommate playing together quick rounds at a time like an arcade game.

Grim Dawn is another alternative, without much of PoE's online functionality
I really enjoy Grim Dawn. I'm sad that the game is finally "finished" and will no longer be getting update patches. The developer gave the game a good 4 years of post release content though!
What do you mean? The game is being updated. Last update was in January this year...
Re: Diablo II: Resurrected
#176If anyone is looking to play a modern version of Diablo 2, the spiritual successor is probably more a game called Path of Exile (rather than Diablo 3 or this). The developers managed to capture the aesthetic while improving the game in the direction of what gave the original game its replay-ability. Their development cycle of new content every 3 or 4 months with a league reset is unique and keeps things fresh. They'r…

Grim Dawn is absolutely amazing. I tried playing PoE but it felt so fake. Grim Dawn is raw and dark, the dual class system is awesome, and that’s exactly what I was looking for.

This reminds me of an anecdote I once read or heard about a person curing their World of Warcraft addiction. The person used an unofficial server with cheats to instantly get the best gear, then proceeded to one-shot the toughest boss. After that, playing normally felt pointless to them.
"The person used an unofficial server with cheats to instantly get the best gear" > Smart, unfortunately I didn't think of this. I feel like if I did, maybe I wouldn't have spent so much time on this game. My addiction to the game really took a toll an people around me who cares / loves me. I feel bad, but really there was nothing I could do except finish. I'm wondering if there is a certain personality / mindset tha…
I really appreciate you talking so openly about it. It really can be one hell of a drug. I don't really think the personality traits are quite different to people who go to casinos or lose all their money on the stock markets. It's this idea to get better, better, better at all costs. Just one more thing and I'll stop, however after this thing there's another thing waiting and so on and so on. It never ends (well, except as how you did it :) Hope you leave it all to rest now before the next addon comes. Actually, I think the developers are quite user oriented so if you would ask them to ban you, they probably would.)

I wonder how it’s free? I know two business models for free things, pay to win micro-transactions like EA and selling out user’s data like FB, and I’m not a fan of either of them.
Honestly f2p to me means don't bother. I've really come to enjoy Good old Games https://www.gog.com They have Diablo 1 (+ Hellfire) available for 9.99 (but goes on sale) (That said there's a huge "Do not sell my personal information" link on the diablo page) I have enjoyed torchlight 1 and 2 quite a bit. It's been a while since I played diablo 1/2 so I can't compare in my head. I recall there was more clicking in dia…
in diablo 1 you had to click for every single attack of your character. In diablo2 you didn't have to do it, however most of your attacks would be special attacks, meaning you would have to click all the time anyway (except maybe if you had a skill that you could use all the time while holding). I usually played the assassin and had to click nearly as much as in diablo 1. However, it was enjoyable either way to me. More relevant for the enjoyment in "feeling" would be the sound of your hits and if it really felt like you hit them visually. In my opinion e.g. Titanquest couldn't get that feeling right. However, Diablo 3 and Path of Exile could (Torchlight is okay in that regard, but not quite as good). Still, my favorites remain Diablo1+2.

#1792 was always better than 3
Was there ever any doubt?
Re: Diablo II: Resurrected
#180This is amazing but wow, full price (60 EUR in Europe). I wonder whether the Switch version will get the "Switch tax" (70-80EUR per full game in my region).
It's 40€ including the old version. The 60€ Prime Evil version also contains Diablo 3 Eternal Collection and some D3 cosmetics.
