  Yeah, I hope you keep at it. If you are fighting blood knights it shouldn’t take too long now.

  Either way I recommend Carbot’s Diablo 1 cartoons for everyone new or old to the game: youtu.be/Odi5iR9Ni50?si=i7LIEWEwzN73foZN

  I’d say you can try the Witcher 3. It’s story rich so could be interesting to just watch too. Lots of violence though, but most of it is quite cartoonish imho so maybe it’s still okay.

  I think Diablo 1 is much more punishing than Diablo 2. I don’t think you can get away with not chugging potions. The sorceror is even worse than the warrior because he’s completely dependent on mana. So until you get the mana shield spell you’ll need to have both mana and healing potions ready on him.

  The best you can do is try to get as high resistance and armour values as you can so you don’t take as much damage when you get hit.

  For example, if you find a high lightning res ring that you don’t have much use for now you might want to keep it and put it on when on a later level has enemies dealing lightning damage. Stuff like that.

  For ARPGs if you feel burnt by Diablo IV, I can recommend Path of Exile. Arguably the king of the genre today.

  Others mentioned Grim Dawn, which has a bit slower gameplay, but a good choice nonetheless.

  If you’re looking for indie ARPG, then there’s Chronicon. Nice little game that I really want to go back to again.

  For me there are a couple.

  Hades (2020) - I’m not in any hurry with this one. I’d get it if GOG starts to sell it, otherwise I’ll wait a bit more.

  Outer Wilds (2020) - I’m getting impatient with this. I’d like this more on GOG too, but I think I’ll just buy it when Steam winter sale comes.

  The Guild III (2022) - quirky trade/life sim game and I have some fond memories of the second one. But that had quite a few bugs even long after release and I hear the third game still looks unfinished so I’m patient.

  I guess I should mention 4 more. Most of these are playable in some form or other too, but still.

  • Dune II - I didn’t understand any English when I was playing this as a kid, but had lots of fun with it either way. Open source remake (needs original data files): dunelegacy.sourceforge.net/website/index.html
  • Golden Axe - This one was somehow memorable to me out of all the cheesy beat 'em ups. store.steampowered.com/app/34276/Golden_Axe/
  • Stunts - The first racing game I played. Very nice map editor too. I even remember the bug where if you hit a peak between two ramp edges you’d fly straight up towards the sky! A brief search didn’t give me any faithful offline remakes, but here’s the wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunts_(video_game)
  • Secret Agent - I’m fairly sure this or Dune II was the first graphical game I ever played on PC. store.steampowered.com/app/358350/Secret_Agent/

  I second XCOM, if we are talking about the original two, Enemy Unknown/UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep. I heard good things about the more recent ones, but I never played those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Might I recommend the timeless classic Heroes of Might and Magic III? Most of the campaigns are not too difficult after you get the hang of things, if I remember correctly. And you can get a hundred hours out of it even if you only play the official campaigns.

  Quake III Arena. It came out in the 20th century, which sounds crazy to me. It was about 10 years ago I last played it or its remakes.

  I got into Q3 a few years late, but there was still a fairly healthy local community for it back then. Quake 4 came out and then Quake Live, which I played for a while, but the local community was missing by then.

  Sure I could still play it, but I’m guessing there aren’t even enough people to fill a 5v5 capture the flag match anymore, Q3 or QL… a shame. But at least I have good memories of it.

  10k? I hope it’s hours and not money. Even though 10k is some insane amount of hours too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the game you were the most patient for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my intention was to ask more in the spirit of the capital Patent Gamer, as in the community name, instead of just a gamer who is patient. Some good discussions happening here so it’s all good either way.

  I’ve been slowly playing through Vampire Survivors again with each hero only using their starting weapon. I did the lightning ring dude on the first map the last time. Only barely made it to 30 minutes with that one.
