Can’t come up with a new idea huh? Hard pass
Please, don’t make it a DRPG.
Like in Dodge Roll Playing Game. I hated POE2 for that.
Dodge,Dodge,Dodge,Dodge, hit once, Dodge,Dodge, hit, get hit, die.
Shiiittt, it’s 4 dodges!
Restart for another 5-10 mins. That’s not hard, that’s annoying.
Please, don’t make that new game into a Dodge fest please…
What does that even mean? Why were d1 and d2 good? Plenty of games have come and gone with similar features.
Just as Harry potter wasn’t a great story, but had great timing, I think d2 was the same. It was good but it also was at the right time.
Walk up to area full of rather boss looking dudes, fuck em all up, take their gear and then spend 30 minutes ooing and aaahing over said gear has been a cornerstone gameplay loop for many games for decades.
It’s, dare I say it?
fun?
Fill the area with cool lore, art direction and fold it into a story and hey, maybe it’s a little more fun.
We’re going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions
4.5 million seems like not a very high budget unless it’s only meant to be seed money and release into early access like last epoch.
