    The Core of Diablo

    That's a nice update, will be waiting for moar! It is also totally understandable to go for different damage types in solo single player play - immunities and all that

    The Core of Diablo

    Mal, the Maiden of Anguish and the lootable Tomb: The general playstyle hasn't changed in the Hell difficulty for Mal, aside from paying more attention to enemies' affixes and his own positioning in the middle of battle. Speaking of affixes, Coldcrow spawned with Cold Enhanced, Multiple Shots...

    The Core of Diablo

    Mal the Summoning Druid vs the rest of the Nightmare difficulty After thinking about it, I decided to Respec Mal to become a shapeshifter-summoner hybrid... only after some consideration, this hadn't worked out. As a result of investing skill points into Lycanthropy and Fury, my summons were...

    The Core of Diablo

    Depending on the item slots, some rare items can be as valuable or even more than uniques. Rings, amulets, gloves and boots are the most notable cases

    Storytelling in RPGs - what makes a "good" story.

    Something I'd like to notify about storytelling in general, that also definitely applies to games as well is: the execution of the story is more important than the content or idea behind the story. If you think about it, many stories presented in media through the years are silly in concept -...

    Storytelling in RPGs - what makes a "good" story.

    You know, the funny thing is the info dump you see here is the result of your own choice in making NPC elaborate to you. You asked NPC to go on with an explanation and that's what you get. With a comparison to Tyranny, I really can't judge that because I haven't played it, and for all I know the...

    Storytelling in RPGs - what makes a "good" story.

    I do disagree with the arguments that were laid out against the Pillars of Eternity. The start of the game is actually very simple: something bad happens to you, shortly after that, you find out that the offer you received is actually quite terrible one (this is intentional: the offer initially...

    Movies/series you're looking forward to

    I think I'll watch this movie and probably will forget about it later. That's the impression I have, after watching the trailer once again. I am puzzled by its tone, though most people do approve. It is because DnD sessions are often as wacky as this? I really don't know. About tv shows etc. I...

    The Core of Diablo

    It doesn't cost anything to optimize character in Diablo IV because the game is not out yet and won't be this year. I think you meant Immortal. Regarding the update itself, I am willing to believe there won't be pay to win in Diablo IV, because the phrase "we won't sell power" could be heard as...

    Fallout 4 - reviews/thoughts

    Lore-wise, I recall an example of controversy where one of the writers was told that there was a mistake regarding the timeline and Jet drug - basically, it didn't make any sense for Vault tech to have it and then redistribute it to one of the Vaults, because the drug in question was created...

    Revenge?

    I can easily assure you that you would have a hard time finding anyone past 10 years old who never did wrong to anyone or had wrong done to them at some point. In my late teen years, then as a young adult and now as a theoretical adult, I find no serious attempts to act on a grudge. Yes, there...

    Baldur's Gate III News

    I wonder at what point fans' disappointment from infrequent and not-as-impressive updates from the eternal EA will change into apathy. I'm not going to lie, if I made the mistake of paying for EA, I'd be going in that direction already.

    References, Secrets, and other Easter Eggs inside games

    Two references I think I have found while playing Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear. Might be a stretch though First, Attack on Titan reference, with two Ogre's name referencing characters of Reiner and Berthold 2. Referencing a Star Wars Episode III

    The Core of Diablo

    Tis' true that Diablo 2 can be enjoyed in multiple ways, though to be honest, many other games from different genres do as well Just because I can share, I recently ventured to act 5 normal with this Druid Loot is self-found, currently wearing Stealth, Ancient's Pledge, Nadir and Bloodrise...

    It seems that Stray game will have a dedicated meow button. So, must buy for my girlfriend, I guess

    The Core of Diablo

    I find lack of Diablo's T-pose... shattering! Btw, I think at clvl 27 you are perfectly fine to just go act 5. First few areas are easier than Chaos Sanctuary anyways

    The Core of Diablo

    Mephisto: "You're too late!" Also Mephisto 15 seconds later: *dies* Precious! Nice to see you blitzing through the game and I agree that it feels nice to use act 1 mercenary. Although I think they need a really good loot in later hell difficulty to be really useful. Speaking of mercenary, I...
