      I feel like those are all arpgs.

      And all great games. :chefs-kiss:

      I recently tried Torchlight 3. What a piece of shit of a game. It reminded me the original Torchlight is really good.

      I am going to do a play though this weekend maybe.

          It’s not the worst game ever. But it’s not very good. Admittedly I didn’t give it much of a chance after i could not really get into it.

          Rather just go back and play one of the first 2 that are great.

        I was so disappointed in TL3 because it advertised a railmaster class where you placed train tracks to move around a mini combat train while hitting things with a giant hammer and i was like :traingang:

        but then the game was like :sadness:

      RPGs where you don't have to wait a minute for a number randomly generated by your computer to decide whether you hit the enemy or not, and then another number to decide the damage.

        I'm pretty sure Icewind Dale counts as an ARPG, heck, I've heard people call BG2 an ARPG.

          Really? Some of the most famous and popular CRPGs are Western.

          ARPG is certainly a popular genre but dice rolls are definitely a major part of a lot of Western games.

            Ah, misunderstood waiting part, but dice rolls for crits/damage spread are everywhere though?

      Yes, Diablo is often considered a hack and slash which is sometimes a separate genre and sometimes a sub-genre.
