Is this a joke?

Its made by the same games that did Magicka
But I don't know why THQ didn't hire or acquire Crate to do it.


Back to PoE you go faggot

It really is the end of an era.

The fuck? That came out of nowhere.

I presume it's by the THQ nordic guys who refurbished the old version? I can get behind adding stuff to old game. If it's done with care.
20 bucks seems a little steep for something like that though.

Path of exile "investor" detected.

You have to go back.

Fuck off PoE shill


Yeah, doing shit like that actually works better than announcements due to to high buzz.


Pretty much
Don't know hows the quality of it yet though
There are plenty of ways they could fuck it up

You're making my argument for me, tbh. Diablo 2 shits all over your broken meme ARPG.

Imma pirate it and check it out later.
I really appreciated that they went back and improved Titan Quest. Regardless of what you think of the game itself, that is some very pro-consumer stuff.

I know this is you PoE shitter
Promptly remove yourself from the premises

kickass.unblocked.pl/titan-quest-anniversary-edition-ragnarok-plaza-tt19076773.html

Yeah, an effort like this lives on dies on its quality. Hope we can get a magnet soon, I'm too busy on other games atm and I just got back from getting my fingertip stitched back up, vidya is going to suck for a while

Storytime

Nothing fancy, piece of shit glass candle holder broke clean in half when I tried to get it unstuck from my desk, lopped off a small disk off my left index finger. Wasn't a very big deal but I did have to wait six goddamn hours in """""ER""""".

Am I dreaming? I could expect a titan quest sequel maybe but an expansion out of nowhere like this? did the original devs do this? do they even know about it?

thanks for the heads up, OP
Gonna check it out
(waste of dubs)
Stop trying so hard to fit in, user.

He's right in some regards though. He didn't even mention PoE until you guys brought it up.

The original devs are working on Grim Dawn. This is THQ Nordic, the ones that did the TQ Anniversary edition. I'd be curious to see the new content in this expansion, though, this seems to have come out of nowhere. Damn shame the original devs can't work on their game anymore but I'm happy the game is being kept "alive" somehow.

And not just any expansion, norse themed expansion! Well fuck, that's awesome. Probably won't sell well since the game is quite old. But what's bad can be about it?


Oh, this explains why Grim Dawn plays the same.

I like how one of the features is "You get pants now!"

Just started it. You have the option of starting at the appropriate level for the Ragnarök thing immediately. Nice.

What fucking year is it?

I am monitoring this thread.

A good year. Everything we hate is burning down around us and we get to laugh our asses off.

Wtf is this 700mb update?
Do you get this expansion for free if you own the Anniversary Edition?

do we have boots already?
it's the only thing i hate on Titan Quest.

Is Israel our greatest ally?

It's DLC for the anniversary edition. It's not all that uncommon for base versions to be updated to jive with what's included in the DLC.

Have any of you lads played it yet? Is it worth it? Also what does the Runes mastery have?

No, but we have pants now apparently.

I thought this game was dead since long. Who is the one developing this ? If it's good, I might get back into it.

things are getting worse.

THQ Nordic and the Magicka devs
They really need to hire Crate Entertainmment to make a new game as well.
I doubted Nordic was going to make decent AA stuff, but they're actually succeding on their endeavor, much more than the kikes at Deep Silver ever could.


Not everything, but yeah
Since Gamergate things have been slowly getting better.

Isn't Titan Quest practically redundant since Grim Dawn is TQ but better?

Can you wear pants yet?

...

The Very Fast speed + a bit of extra movement speed on items makes you SANIC FAST now. I like it.

Since you can wear pants in Grim Dawn yeah, TQ seems a bit redundant.

Begone scum

Holy shit, this is tempting me a little

Good reviews:
Bad reviews:
So it's the same problem as the new AOE expansions.

wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/34/3433344_damage-resistance-vs-damage-absorption-.html
Wait what?
I just found this shit while googling damage absorption.

Maybe it's because i play games like these as Single players, through once to experience the story, world and such and then shelf it but i found TQ a lot, like a fuckton more enjoyable than GD.
Not only is it hell of a lot more interesting with it's myths'n shit but i swear it also plays better as in while the gameplay is simple it didnt feel near as much of a drag as it does in GD.
Shit i didnt even manage to get past 20-25 or so in GD because the game was so utterly boring despite looking pretty.

Wew

It is worth noting that this bad review is literally one review. Sometimes you dumb autists need to chill the fuck out and recognize pro consumer behavior so you can support it when it shines through.

Seriously I will never understand the idea of nitpicking an update to a 10 year old game and comparing it to the extensive mods for said game because you have some weird obligation to "muh quality criticism". Stupid pariah behavior

Two reviews, the other had to be translated and revealed that many NPC dialogue was incomplete.
Still, imma pirate it and find out what it's like.

Titan's quest was slow and pretty boring so I never cleared act one, but the concept is pretty nice.


Could it be that the incomplete dialog is a translation issue?

That's quite possible, apparently all they were able to read from most NPCs is "…"

Grim Dawn has kind of an unappealing palette compared to titan quest, and TQ had checkpoints which made it much more enjoyable if you like playing in short bursts. But pretty much everything about GD's gameplay is unquestionably better.

Who the fuck are you? I've seen faggots like you claiming that absolutely everything is bad popping out of nowhere lately. Did cuckchan had a new exodus?

Neofag self destructed recently and some retard linked our thread of that incident into their discord. They believe the cuckchan memes that Holla Forums hates everything and so they don't blend in well.

No need to point at newfags, there's been a path of exile autist determined to call TQ/GD shit at every turn for the past years.

Instantly better than POE.
Might as well play this shit now.

st00pid

What? Those look pretty good.
Would look nice with some heavy armored boots.

...

Talking about ARPG´s
I played the first Diablo without having experience with it as kid, and I found it an alright game, didnt overstay its welcome, but when I moved on to Diablo 2 I got bored after the desert area, it was fun to have skellingtons under my command for a while but by that point I found it to be very repetitive as a whole, perhaps I should have tried another character for my first run, but I didnt want to start over from scratch.

Are there any ARPG´s that have a bit more meat to them? or is it the nature of the genre as a whole? Grim Dawn seems to be popular here.

Pretty much
ARPGs since Diablo 2 have focused on loot and spreading themselves thin with 5 different classes that are barely different from each other.
You could try Nox, its more story focused. There is also Magicka but its not really an RPG.

...

Grim Dawn's pretty much just Titan Quest 2.

Good times.

Is that an emoji?

I'd say at this point Diablo 1 clones and Diablo 2 clones are two different subgenres.
The first is a dungeon crawler, where it's all about killing monsters, navigating randomized labyrinths and optimizing your stats.
The second one tries to be more on RPG side of things, it's about story, exploration, themepark locations and worldbuilding.

Problem is apart from Torchlight 1 and some older game with town management aspect, name of which I don't remember, there aren't any worthwhile Diablo 1 clones, as most of them try to ape Diablo 2.

Is this vidya's version of Hollywood only doing remakes/sequels/prequels/reboots and shit?

I really don't see how Diablo 2 having different areas makes it not all about killing monsters, navigating randomized labyrinths and optimizing your stats.

Hinterland?

Guess the game. Protip: I can name at least 6

I know literally 2 games like this, and one I can't remember.

Now I'm not saying one is better than the other, but they are too different to be considered entirely the same genre.


Nope, that one didn't had any round things in the ui. Only bars.
Is hinterland good?

Not diablo 2 that's for fucking certain.
You can argue that D1 had a tighter focus and better atmosphere, but there is a reason why everyone talks about 2 but not 1 - it was a straight upgrade. Unless you count different dungeons as a flaw, which apparently you do.

Entire ACT2 of diablo 2 is that.
Act 2 of Torchlight is that.
Half of both Sacred 1 and 2 is that.
Act 2 or 3 of Dungeon Siege 2 is that.
Huge fucking open areas with mobs and 2 floor dungeons.

It's like arguing monster hunter and dark souls are of the same genre.

Oh dear. I'm surprised anyone can even make it to Egypt before falling asleep.
Hold on, I'm looking for the developer post that explains how THQ ruined Titan Quest.

Wow what a fag

nice adhd, also just play it with xmax mod which makes the game a lot better
faggot

Found it.

This is for you, too. You don't need to have ADHD to not like boring games.

Every fucking time.

Aren't the static portals in Grim Dawn basically the same as checkpoints? Maybe spaced more sparsely, but that's it.

As the other user said, play it with thrice the number of mobs spawned if you find it not challenging enough.

I guess that's why they call it weekend Holla Forums. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess I shouldn't be shocked. The modern gamur hates anything that can't be used with a controller.
That and it's the weekend so it's not THAT shocking if you think about it.

No, the portals are the same as, well, the portals from titan quest. TQ had, additionally, checkpoints in each area which saved your position in case you had to quit the game. In GD, it's portal or bust.

I'd recommend Dungeon Siege (1 and only 1) or Din's Curse/Zombasite for games that move the Diablo clone genre forward. There's this one other game that almost comes to my mind, too, but I can't actually remember what it is…

Christ.

Neogaf fuck off please.

Indeed, I stopped in China and never made it to the end, to never touch TQ ever again, whereas I completed Diablo I&II in just a few days.


Holy shit, I had a vague sense that Editors were cancer, but this is something else : deliberately making the game bland and boring, thinking that it makes it "accessible" ? And what even is the rationale behind not wanting mythology in a game about the fucking Ancient times ? Was the target audience Bible Belt christian fundamentalists ? FUCK.

Gas the boomers, generation war now.

Fuck. Those are some inspiring features those games had. Too bad quality of graphics is shit so i steer away from both of them.

...

Thats exactly what boomers are, Gen Y retards were brainwashed from the start unlike Boomers that let it happen

Crazy how they had all these insane rules in 2006 but then in 2010 Darksiders featured everything supposedly forbidden and more.

Nah, Millennials are much bigger threat than the boomers. Boomers are the old dog that can bite you, the millennials are the nigger owner ready to chimp out.

Quality thread. Real weekend posting

THQ was desperate by then


Boomers were the Hippies in the 60s preaching "free love", recreational drug use, and communism, and then conformed to absolute kikery in the 80s.
You're a faggot and you're wrong, as bad as millenials are, they are a product of what Boomers created.
Now stop derailing the thread


Likely banned cuckchanners
Just saw a thread where the OP tried to samefag without realizing we have IDs.

Keep deflecting the meat of the problem. I'm sure it's a lot easier to beat the dead horse than deal with an actual issue. Besides, what you are talking about are kike supporters that gaslit that shit. Millennials are just more dangerous hippies that would rather ignore basic truth anyone can look up than actually fixing the problems of their own generation. Keep yelling and blaming boomers though, i'm sure that removing them will remove liberal idiots. :^)

Boomers are the ones indocrinating Gen Y retards on colleges.
You still haven't provided an argument and Gen X are just as bad as millenials.
Anectodal evidence, yes but I had the same thing happen with History teachers in High School.
Boomers knew and know better than anyone whats happening, in some cases even better than their hick parents, and yet they let it happen.
Funnily enough its also Gen Y that are redpilling their own generation and and Gen Z with tools such as the internet.

You're a fucking retard who has yet to provide an actual argument and is pushing to derail the thread, heres your last (You).

Talk about tossing a stone in a glass house! Look at history and you will see those same people trying to stop a moving train. The only difference is that the internet exists but the nuGeneration would rather defend the kikes than spread basic truth because it triggers them. Boomers had a hand at this mess but the millennials are the ones defending this mess to their last breath.

So are the boomers, especially politicians and high class citizens.
Nope, GenZ, why are you pretending like I'm defending Gen Y NuMales?
I'm not saying they dindunuffin, I'm just saying Boomers are also to blame for them being this cucked.
You're seriously downplaying the influence of the Internet, especially as the Talmudbox and Boomers themselves are being pashed out for instant entertainmment and new.

Oh shit, gave you a (You) by accident.
Oh well, I'm done

No, I would say the millineals are downplaying the internet. They would rather browse jewtube, twatter, and goybook than confirm thing they hear. There was a time when the internet was used to doublecheck facts, the average idiot no longer uses the internet for that. Because of those reasons I would say the millineals are downplaying the internet A LOT more than any other generation. Boomers would consider the internet sci-fi tier, GenX treated it as a new frontier, and Gen Z bought us AoL. The fact that the talmundbox is dying tells you that the millenial generation would rather browse goybook and jewtube. Nothing changed even though we have such a powerful tool. Who is to blame in that scneario, the boomers who can't into internet, the GenXers who did stirred shit up ala alt.bevis.and.butthead, the GenZers who treated the internet as some magical device, or the millennials who abuse a tool that was meant to spread information?

I guess it's easier than actually having to own up to the reality of the situation.

Doesnt the new expansion for TQ add pants?

If this isn't bait you are truly an amazing retard

Nobody asking the important questions, I see.
Does the addition of Ragnarok interferes in any way with the ability to use the vault or not?

it shouldnt.

About to play through TQ+IT with 3 other people, how's the difficulty scaling? I remember I used to play with XMAX ages ago but that kinda wrecks balance due to massive XP gain. Are there any mods I should have, especially for MP? I remember the game being too easy.

So I finally found my old immortal throne disk and reinstalled titan quest but I can't get the Paths mod to work anyone have any ideas why?

So there's a goat in the game that says "covfefe"
I know it's about Trump, but not sure what it's supposed to mean.

Easter eggs (notes) in the original game were pretty shitlord-esque.

Trump made a typo on twitter misspelling coffee. Whether is pro, anti, or neutral i dont know, all i know is that the media went fucking apeshit over it.

I know what I means, I said as much.

I'm just really hopping THQ didn't feel like inserting their political bullshit into the game.
(My first thought was that they were calling Trump a goat, but I'm not sure.)

Is this another Siege of Dragonspear?

It really is just non-offensive. I would just ignore it tbh. No use kicking up a shitstorm over something this small.

I'm not playing anymore for today, anyway, but I just fear it might be a sign of things to come further down the road.

I might feel slightly jimmy-rustled if I invest more hours into the expansion and learning about the new additions/equipment/whatnot just to run into some NPC that will lecture me about the wonders of transgenderism.

It's not like I've seen much of this from THQ in the past, but you never know in these times.

I'll be honest. I never paid attention to ANY of the writing in the game. I find it boring. Im gonna just ignore the expansion writing too.

My negroid! It's the only ARPG I've been able to put more than 10 hours into besides Divine Divinity.

How fucking long was that game, really?
I'm positive I spent over a hundred hours on it.
It was great, though.

I've yet to finish it, but I haven't put nearly 100 hours into it. I'm glad to know it lasts that long, it really is great.

covfefe had a hidden meaning though.

It's been a real long time since I last played Divine Divinity, but from what I remember I felt it gave the first Wild ARMs a run for its money in length. I remember a friend of mine described it to me as like if Morrowind and Diablo combined and became even more broken than they were before. It's a good game, but I remember save scumming like a fiend in it.

Just go to a casino instead, slot machines section. Same gameplay mechanics only that you stand to win something every once in a while.

Made a new character, wanted to roll out with two Marduk's Rages and play through normal with a sweet Onslaught 12 but I started getting Obsidian everywhere and thought why not. How am I doing?
