 |
|
This is the best I can describe it, it has that same feel.
If you have it, do you agree?
If you don't, if you liked diablo 2 (or one... but more like two.) you will love this game.
It is extremely similar in that there are a few different(4) classes that are all identical aesthetically, but within these classes are skill trees and within the skill trees are different ways to manage upgrades because there are 2 skills per tier, and three main trees total.
The difference being that it plays as an fps....
Also, each class has a very unique main skill, e.g. soldier can summon a turret, siren can become invisible and fast, tank can go berserk and use fists and ignore pain and the hunter class has a trained pet... bird-thing.
Buuuuuuut, you can either focus on their unique ability or go a different route and use their special ability as just an extra little perk. Kind of like the necromancer in diablo 2, the obvious path is learning to summon minions but you could focus on curses and have weak minions as a little bit extra. |

| This one is on a long list of must-gets for me. But number one on my list is Dragon Age: Origins. Or DragonAge. However, it is, one word or two. |

Played it today and isn't that bad.
Pros
*Graphics are cartoony like 'Team Fortress2',
*Very easy interface.
*4 characters (3 male, 1 female), each with their special talents.. so pick wisely.
*The game works single-player or 'drop-in-drop-out coop' which allows 4 players to be in one game.
*The game includes LAN play as well.
*As well as being a FPS game where you've got to aim and shoot, every kill gets you xp along with challenges you complete along your road to the vault (plot since start).
*Use talents after lvl5, you can respec any time at terminals; which also lets you rename your character and change colours.
*Shops are synced, you see what everybody sees. So deals can be seen or stole infront of you.
*Revive by killing an opponent, getting revived Left4Dead/GearsOfWar style or resurrect with loss of cash.
*Item lvl system - white, green, blue, purple, orange. Just like WoW or Diablo2. (in order of weakest to best)
Cons
There were a few things about the game that I did find annoying though..
*Claptrap "Look at me I'm dancing" gets tiring quite fast.
*Voice chat is enabled when mic is plugged in; no settings to adjust it or turn it off, so I was nearly deafened by the echo when friends joined. - We had to turn off teamspeak, luckily for us the voice-chat stopped working after an hour of playing.
*No loot sharing system; meaning first come, first serve. Meaning a player could run in and grab everything and there is nothing nobody could do about it.
*Duel by melee. Me and my mates had things on us so we both slapped one another putting ourselves in combat with one another. Our weapons injured both of us; leading to death. |

One of the devs said they were waiting for community feedback on things like the loot system.
I've found that loot stealing isn't a problem for me because money almost grows on trees and there are only certain guns you would want as a certain class, so people always get what they want. But the dev talked about implimenting a loot system if there was enough call for it. |
