Nowhere in my original post did i say i have multiple platforms. I only have one. My ps3. I have rpgs for it, however my pc can do more, hold more, and i can play games with friends across distances much greater that my ps3 community can reach. It may rub you the wrong way, and i apologize, however please don't assume i'm laying a ban-hammer on consoles. I just don't feel like shelling out 60 bones for a game i can't mod, use LAN play with, or even put on another machine (DRM titles, notwithstanding). Plus with Steam Sales, GOG, and other website/clients i can get a ton of quality games for dirt cheap.Draech said:Not to sound like a douche....
But insisting that it has to be an Action RPG and be a PC exclusive kinda rubs me the wrong way. Just get an action RPG on any of the platforms you have. You got multiple platforms you said.
Action RPG's are easily market on all platforms these days often with a heavy emphasis on the console market.
If you wanted a text heavy "deep" RPG then PC is probably the platfomr you will have the most luck with finding a game, but by the looks of things that isn't what you want.
Indeed, torchlight is fun, and extremely reminiscent of the first Diablo due to constantly descending under a town (Wink). I enjoy it quite a bit.Guy Jackson said:I recommend Torchlight. It doesn't have much of a story but the gameplay is a lot of fun and the RPG mechanics have a fair bit of depth (for an action RPG).
Erm... also...
Yes. It contains Ego Draconis and the DLC Flame of Vengeance with improved combat, difficulty curve and a better engine.Andrew Record said:Does Dragon Knight Saga include Divinity 2 Ego Draconis?
Woot, good thing its the one i grabbed. Thanks a ton10BIT said:Yes. It contains Ego Draconis and the DLC Flame of Vengeance with improved combat, difficulty curve and a better engine.Andrew Record said:Does Dragon Knight Saga include Divinity 2 Ego Draconis?
So glad that A) you took my advice and B) Someone else knows Drakan (it's my avatar after all)Andrew Record said:Drakan: Order of the Flame is easily in my top 10 games of all time. Forgot about that one *lashes myself, monk style* Gonna grab Witcher 2 as it seems to be solid.gideonkain said:Omg, Play Witcher 2.Andrew Record said:The witcher 1. Haven't tried 2, because 1 annoyed me so much. 1 also didn't run that great on my machine. Its somewhat old. It plays Skyrim adequately, if not for stuttering every few moments to load a new area.
I played Witcher 1 for 15 minutes, about 5 times (never even got out of the tutorial where that Mantis attacks the castle) because the combat was clunky and the game was not optimized.
Witcher 2 is easily the greatest Action RPG since....Drakan: Order of the Flame (*crickets*)
The witcher 1 got on my shit list when making certain potions required me to practically use a periodic table of elements. Some of the boss fights were so stupidly cheap and short sighted that i nearly rage quit, and this is coming from someone who beat Demons Souls all the way through with the starting Knight gear. Admittedly my second playthrough was easymode thanks to the Greatsword of Moonlight, but still, back on topic. Plus with Witcher 1, i freaking hated Stance Dancing every 4.2 seconds. Yes a stance system adds depth to combat, but when its implemented so annoyingly, i just can't take it.gideonkain said:So glad that A) you took my advice and B) Someone else knows Drakan (it's my avatar after all)Andrew Record said:Drakan: Order of the Flame is easily in my top 10 games of all time.

Witcher 2 has virtually no relation to Witcher 1, other than some storyline elements, the Combat is some of the most visceral in any game, ever...do yourself a favor and play it on Easy, it's the right amount of challenge, on Normal you can defeat an enemy but you will never win the game because it takes a full minute to kill someone without dying yourself multiply that by the 50,000 enemies in your way and you ge t the idea.
I thought Witcher 1 was a stupid game and never understood the love it got (probably had as awesome a stort as Witcher 2 but I never got over waiting for "sparklies" to appear on your sword in order to optimize attack...um, No.
Also, full frontal (female) nudity anytime you like, so if thats your thing, it also shows you how mature the world is compared to other games where sex only happens before or after the game takes place
Agreed that LAN play is all but dead, thats why i keep a pristine install of Diablo 2 around and Hamachi so my buddy and me can avoid all the Battle.net nonsense. Also thank you for not flaming my rebuttal, i have a tendency to sound douche-y without meaning to. Dungeon Defenders is on my want to get list. Gonna do some more research on it and find out if it's a game i need now lol.Draech said:I did read it the wrong way.

Thou finding any game with LAN support today is near impossible. LAN gaming died when we got prober connects on vast majority of the market. Narrowing it down even further and making it action RPG is going to be hard to find anything.
Grap Dungeon Defenders. They have LAN and modding support in that. It all comes down to wether or not you like the Hero Siege style gameplay.
Again, I started Witcher 1, they showed me Wolf Mode and Cat mode or whatever, thought that was dumb, told me to wait till my sword sparkles, thought that was dumb, and I quit...when you don't like the most basic interactions in a game no real reason to stick around and see if it gets better, I don't care if the story is EPICAndrew Record said:The witcher 1 got on my shit list when making certain potions required me to practically use a periodic table of elements.
