| It's a fun romp for $20 and under if you like ARPGs. You will likely get at least 20+ hours of it. The Engineer class owns bones. |

What are the RPG elements that are missing in Borderlands?
A bunch of different, subjective things but more than anything else I wanted stronger customization and character depth from it. Borderlands is fine for what it is but I feel like it's a bunch of surface elements strung together. Very limited character roles and interplay between classes. The itemization doesn't really do much to further it either. I want something that goes a bit deeper character-wise and I don't think that has to come at the expense of the shooting side of the gameplay necessarily. |

Day of Defeat, le sigh. My favorite mod which languished after Valve bought the IP, I've never seen a community dry up so quickly.
Odd, last time I played DoD there were plenty of servers full and tons of players compared to plenty of other games that were just released last month.
Anecdotally I don't see a lot of growth in the NA user base and the custom map scene seems to have suffered. I still go back and play it every now and then but its hard to grow a community around a game that only gets support releases. I think it's a testament to how solid the core game was that the game still has a large EU presence though, it's good to hear people are still playing. |

Doesn't Borderlands meet those criteria, other than the Diablolike environment?
Obviously very subjective but I think Borderlands veers too much into shooter territory for my taste, the RPG elements are practically nonexistent. The maps are all static affairs too. I know their original marketing was the whole "diablo with guns" spiel but I feel like they didn't tick off enough boxes to earn that. Hellgate London sucked execution-wise but there is room for something like it in the market IMHO. |

Although I only play about 4 hours a day, I still have everything I want currently... having someone who understands what makes you happy helps tremendously though. But seriously, why would you get together with someone who doesn't accept your gaming habits?
Haha good lord, "only" 4 hours a day. Good luck having a relationship or kids and maintaining those hours for your hobbies. |

Mods are not the same thing as cheat codes, no clue what you're on about there but it seems totally irrational.
They aren't working on TL3 next, they're burnt out on TL stuff and working on something new in the future supposedly.
While TL2 mods have the potential to add a lot of new/interesting content and functionality, most of the ones up on steamworks (and the TL2 site) are 'cheat codes'...
Nah that's not truly representative, just a snapshot from one angle. There are also extra classes, more items, difficulty increases, etc. People were working without the SDK, the only changes they could make were relatively simple anyway. The editor opens up a lot of content addition possibilities. |

Hockey? Oh, you mean that boxing on ice. Yeah, I don't care for that either. Seems okay during the Olympics though..
Fighting is a very insignificant part of hockey overall, though obviously it represents some machismo appeal for certain fans. The overall increase in size of players and general thuggery is a bigger complaint IMHO but I don't watch very much anymore due to the constant strikes and expansion issues. |

| Yeah the strike really killed my enthusiasm for the game too. I used to play and follow it pretty actively but gave it up for other sports after they pulled that horseshit. Don't even get me started on hockey, 3 strikes in what, 20 years? Unbelievable. |

Tomb Raider is definitely my surprise hit of the year, really enjoying it. It's very different from previous iterations but I love how everything is implemented, it feels really smooth and natural. The story isn't bad either, it feels very Indiana Jones ish at times even. Some people have lamented the simplistic tombs but I've found that the collectibles really help supplement the previous puzzle aspects of the game. Many of them require some brain teasing in the outdoor sections of the game. I like how they mixed up traversal with different items as well, it helps out with variety from the one button stuff like in AC games.
Anyways fun game, I can't really decide which I enjoyed more between it and Bioshock Infinite. Bioshock has weaker gameplay but a deep, interesting narrative while Tomb Raider an average story but great gameplay. |

Missed Darksiders completely. What exactly is that game about?
God of War meets Zelda with a dash of Metroidvania. Without spoiling anything (lol its Darksiders but whatevs) the story is about the 4 Horsemen of the apocalypse.
The first one is like $5-10, bring a gamepad IMHO. |

| The worst part is that Diablo 3 sold like 10m+ copies so it's not like they needed to court any specific gamer subset anyway, they certainly weren't hurting without console sales. The game could have been deep and interesting instead of streamlined and shallow with no impact on their bottom line, quite the contrary they would probably be making more ongoing post-release revenue. Blizzard has always been about accessibility but the games have always provided lasting experiences and deep value. Diablo 3 failed spectacularly there. |

Here, with the way that you can respec at will, anybody and everybody can have the exact same character build at any given time and where the hell is the fun in that? It's a bunch of cookie cutter toons running around. Blizz putting simplicity into this meant try to get as much money from all age groups and keep it simple enough that even the total unexperienced gamer can get in on the cash flow.
Exactly. I can't build my own unique Demon Hunter, the permutations are limited by the games stringent customization options. Why would I ever make another one? Item runes would have a way to avoid this and they were in the game at one point but they dashed it in favor of adopting the current system. They put too much weight on simple weapon DPS and core stats, the lack of alternative customization paths is really limiting.
I do wonder how much of the games development suffered for its intended console release later on. I find it a bit odd so many design choices mesh well with consoles, right down to the skill loadout matching button availability on gamepads. I don't think it's a big conspiracy or something silly, just something that was in the back of their minds about what kind of game they were making and for what audience. |
