gaarg Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Why Diablo? It's all action, always improving, getting new stuff, and even though I finished both Diablos too many times they're still great to play. Ok, so waiting for Diablo 3 (lol) I'd really like to try out something that's not Diablo for once. I tried Baldur's gate and was too complicated for me (I really want a lot of monsters to kill and spontainous ways to improve n stuff although good story never bothered me). Maybe even some slower-paced game I guess... Any ideas? Oh yeah, I got a Sempron 3000 with 1gb ram and radeon 9200. Gotta go easy on her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Titan's Quest and Sacred 2 could both be considered Diablo 2.5 ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 forget about baldur's gate and go straight to baldur's gate 2. probably still too complicated for you but that's just because you suck. yes, BG2 is THAT good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muflontillah Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Silverfall ..its quite an action type aand If I saw correctly, after a loaded save killed monsters jump back to their places... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I suck is my girlfriend's clit. I gotta explain myself, whenever I wanna think my guts out I play go. And I play it a lot. But when I'm nervous or tense or don't feel like doing mental work (which is also a lot) I like to jerk off with action packed gaming. I also played Puzzle quest, because it was also all action, even though puzzle like. I'm like that. BTW those other games like Zelda and Final Fantasy. Is that something to check out? And if, which version? I'm already downloading recommends at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegecow Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 FUCKING DUNGEON SIEGE god i love that game, no expansion pack, no sequel, just straight up dungeon siege. fallout 1 & 2. i could never get into them but i have a short attention span for these games and most people swear by them. Also titan quest, but it might not run on your computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaarg Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'm not sure this will work on my machine... I'm looking into those older games now, especially Eye of the beholder2. So, no Zelda or Final Fantasy fans here or is that probably too braindamaging for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 It's a Sempron 3000+ AMD, right? Knights of the Old Republic requires a 1ghz computer and 128mb ram so you'll have no problem running it. So if you like the Star Wars universe then you'll love this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Sensi Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Titan Quest is the only thing close to being Diablo. I love Baldur's Gate and other rpg's like it, but none of them have the action element. KOTOR is great, but it's very different from Diablo. Get the God of War games if you have a PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegecow Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 gaarg, beneboi says you should play fate: undiscovered realms (post that youtube video here) that and titan quest are the only diablo-esque games that have been recommended and that he misses you all very dearly and sends his forbidden love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Divine Divinity is perhaps one of the best isometric rpgs that I've ever played. Baldurs Gate being the best one, no questions. If you do not agree with this, you should perish in a car fire. Play Divine Divinity. right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catsonearth Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 i think what you're looking for is something like baldur's gate: dark alliance 1 & 2 or champions of norrath 1 & 2 for ps2 or xbox. essentially real-time hack and slash dungeon crawlers with fairly deep roll playing elements below the surface, lots of gear, weapons, spells, potions, etc., lots of weapon upgrading with gems or runestones...that type of thing, am i right? a lot of the games people have mentioned already are a little bit denser on the rpg side, whereas these don't really beat you over the head with it. it's there, but it doesn't bog down the game too much so you can still enjoy killing monsters and shit without spending too much time in the menu. but if you want to spend a lot of time managing your shit, you can. they're not the best games ever, but they're fun and you can just pick up and play them for as long as you want. they're also the best games to play with a significant other who might not be that into gaming. these games turn a lot of girlfriends/boyfriends into gamers. if you like diablo and you haven't played them, they're definitely worth checking out.

awepittance Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Why Diablo? It's all action, mayebe we played a different 'Diablo' the one i played had no action but was all designed on point and click youre mouse here to click your guys to shoot or move to point X. Is that what people call action these days? if so how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
