I never heard of this game until it was released last week but there was enough buzz surrounding it on the internets that I ended up getting it and it's fairly fun so far. It's a hack-and-slash RPG created by the same people who made Diablo, and although it's only single player right now, it will supposedly be a MMO in the future... although I'm not sure how long that will be.

Anyways, it's only $19 and plays like a new Diablo with some great new features and UI changes. Here's the trailer movie for anyone interested:

...and it was made by the same people who totally failed with "Hellgate: London"...

I was just reading up on it via Penny Arcade. Looks interesting, but I'm currently content with Forza and Borderlands. Maybe once I'm done with those.

Yup, it's unique! It makes stupid sayings whenever you do something...

Apparently one can "dupe" items easily. Yes, it's cheating, but it's a single player game so yer only wrecking your experience.

Quote:
First, find the most expensive item you have to sell. Hopefully something worth a few thousand gold like a unique necklace. Make sure it is in your inventory (not equipped or in stash)

Go to the merchant that sells ID scrolls. Click the ID scroll and drag it over the expensive item and click on it. The item gets duped and you can sell the copies.


I didn't try it yet, but I'll give er a whirl tonite.

Don't know why you would need to dupe items. Maybe on the highest difficulties. Playing on normal, and there is no risk of me running out of cash anytime soon.

Game kicks ass, by the way. I never played Diablo, but I did play Dungeon Siege.

After your first reply to this thread I thought you were totally against this game but I guess not. ;)

Anyways, I'm really enjoying it too. It's a real shame it's not multiplayer over IP but it's still worth playing if you are, or were, into the Diablo games.
