Argh, don't remind me. Having played most FPS in their prime, F.E.A.R. sadly remained only on demo playthroughs for me. I love FPS. No One Lives Forever, Soldier of Fortune, Half-Life, Deus Ex, Unreal (Tournament and yes even the second), Quake series, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Jedi Knight 2, Red Faction and even the lesser ones like Chaser gave me so much joy.
Where's a good place to scrounge for WB bundle resellers?

I'm jealous, I'd love to experience this game again for the first time.

Oh I haven't sold my Gunhound EX foil yet =/ Just wanted to post that image to showcase our reaction to having our Foils sell.

Speaking of which, what was the most you got from selling a Foil, SteamGAF?

I got something around $8.50 during the summer sale for my Agarest 0 foil.

Agarest 0 is still probably one of the best purchasing decisions of my life since I bought for around $2 less than I sold that foil for. Based anime cards.

Around $10 for a Storm foil, of which I was the only seller in the whole market. Nobody bit at $20 nor at $15, so I had to lower the price a few times.

Yeah. Bought it during the summer sale for like 3 or 4 keys. Selling all the cards would make the game 3-4$.

Though most people didnt even notice Agarest Zero was on sale, when the first Agarest was on sale. Valve didnt do a good job showing that all of the games for this franchise are on sale.

Diablo influence? but you can be male or female in every class in diablo?

Also, are there any classes that males cant be in Path at least?

Not in Diablo 2.

You're going to have to sit down and play the best ARPG of all time some day. It's known as Diablo 2, but what they really mean is D2 + the expansion, Lord of Destruction.

Diablo 2 had a handful of playable characters. A barbarian warrior, a paladin, a sorceress, an amazon, an assassin, a druid, and a necromancer - five male, two female. This made sense, because they were pre-made characters. There is no customization aside from their name and build.

and that dev really sounds salty :/ idk... giving bundle purchases keys + ensuring there's cards, etc would definitely help in the long run though?

 

[TheSeks]

It's pretty lame -- out of the six available classes, only two of them (the "dainty" ones, witch and ranger) are female.

If you like to play as an armor-clad female fighter like I do, then you're SOL. I think this is taking the Diablo influence a bit too far.

I would at least be ok with playing a dude character, if the warrior wasn't such a meathead.

Not like you're going to see that "meathead" character for more than two seconds on logging in. So...

Diablo influence? but you can be male or female in every class in diablo?

Not in Diablo 1 or 2, which is where Path of Exile takes it's cues from. There's a reason some of the hardcore consider it "Diablo 3." (No, that isn't one of the reasons)


-----

I'm not liking Dead Island: Epidemic. Installed it for the free +1 (since you keep it after the weekend is over) and since it's a MOBA I'm banging my head in rage against the stupid RTS-like elements.

The co-op is alright I guess, but gets kinda boring fast since it's just the same map(s) over and over and over again and the grind is HORRIBLE.

Spoiler

I just want to get 50% achievements so I can uninstall it but most of the achievements are pretty easy to get. WHY.jpg torturing myself.

Also, are there any classes that males cant be in Path at least?

I thought that wasn't so in the early Diablo games, but I might be remembering incorrectly.

PoE has this weird dichotomy apparently. Four out of the six classes are male only:
marauder
templar
duelist
shadow

Witch and ranger are female only. Sorry Legolas fans. You know what, I'm really not feeling ranger. I hate playing ranger. I need the shiny armor and sword :|

I should probably just get Grim Dawn instead. I would honestly be shocked if I couldn't play any class as female in that game. I distinctly remember playing a female conquerer, with the sweet armor and plumed helm and all.

Not like you're going to see that "meathead" character for more than two seconds on logging in. So...

I guess I can try playing the marauder, and covering him up in full head to toe armor, so I don't have to look at his ugly mug. The templar is also an unattractive old coot. The shadow is an emo Dante-lookalike. If you're gonna force me to play a guy, at least make the character not repulsive to my eyeballs.

Have been familiar with the concept, but now I know the term.

 

[Momentary]

They really need to go ahead and release all of the Ys series on Steam after TiTS. I thought that they were selling decently on Steam. I would love to see Memories of Celceta and Seven on there eventually.

 

[Strider]

I own Torchlight 2 but havent booted it up yet and I have both Van Helsing's in my wishlist so I'm hoping to try those too someday. Wasn't Torchlight 2 made by the devs of Diablo 1 and 2?

 

[TheSeks]

No offense but...

You're playing from the top-down in Diablo/PoE. Why does it bother you so much that you can't see a "female" two-pixel (or maybe 15 pixel?) avatar 24/7? Besides, you're gonna gear up so those pixels become gear anyway...

I'm willing to buy anything Falcom gets on Steam.

That last game was fun. Those spiders are kind of cheap. You just throw them at towers...

Hmm I think I'll try for $10 this time with this foil.

Speaking of which, get Gundhound EX people, it's a kickass 2D shoot'em-up.

Some people prefer playing female characters just not to be be Balddude McFistBif.
Some people on the internet are even female (shocking, I know) and prefer playing female characters

Yeah I believe it was, I had a lot of fun with TLII, it feels a lot more similar to Diablo than PoE ever did.

 

[iosefe]

Monster Hunter player?

 

[RS4-]

The thing about TL2 for me...is the loot. If you get one legendary, it'll be the exact same one your friend got. There's no rng stats for those drops.

Reminder:

Here's an interesting naval strategy game. The game actually looks really good.

[billmcdougal]

Monster Hunter player?

Nah. I enjoyed the demo on 3ds, but from what I've heard of the full game, it sounds a bit too grinding-focused for me.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Yeah I believe it was, I had a lot of fun with TLII, it feels a lot more similar to Diablo than PoE ever did.

Torchlight 1 & 2 have the same composer as Diablo - a man named Matt Uelmen. There might be some key people there, too. It's not the entire staff of D2 or anything, though.

Torchlight is... well.. it's a game, but it's not as fun as it should be. I always found it to be flat and uninteresting. The main draw was that it released before Diablo 3, so it was taste of what was to come.

PoE really tried to be a "throwback" to Diablo 2 - and it really feels like it at times... but the weird free-to-play-ness of the game breaks it (for me, at least).

It's 150 pixels D: (I measured)

Ok, ok, I rerolled marauder. You better hope I find a full-face helm soon so I don't have to stare at a 150 pixel high avatar who looks like Nameless One from PS:T.

[Deitus]

The issue there is, all of the Ys games that have been released on Steam (as well as TitS) so far already had PC versions. At that point it was just a matter of red tape to get the game on Steam. Ys 7 and Celceta have only ever been on PSP/Vita, so it would require a straight up port. XSEED couldn't do that alone, they would need Falcom to do the port. I just don't think Falcom is that invested in the western PC market to expend effort on a port that would only sell in the west, sadly.

Hahaha, I know the feeling.

Edit: The problem is, even if I do a bunch of bot matches, the next time we play I'm still going to end up with a hero I've never played before and have no idea how to use.

Yeah, I realise that. And given the choice between them working on FC and SC or working on Ys 6, I think I'd take TitS.
