I just recently got Warhammer Chaosbane which I guess is just a rip off version of Diablo and I loved it despite it being pretty short. So I feel like I'll like diblo but idk if it's worth 70 bucks

    We had a similar thread recently

    And I'd say there's plenty of other arpgs out there you probably haven't played before that are way better and not $70 or associated with Blizzard

    also 🏴‍☠️

      My once cutting edge computer is now like 6 years old and fairly mediocre, and I just bought a ps5 so I don't really torrent games anymore sadly. I also find trying to play games on a computer I just end up fucking off to dick around on the internet, I need something I can only game on or I get distracted.

        Most of the alternatives presented in that other thread are older than your build, I highly recommend checking out Grim Dawn or Path of Exile over Diablo IV.

          Actually playing path of exile right now. The level up tree is kinda overwhelming, but it seems pretty cool like an hour in

            Yes the passive tree is very overwhelming. To be honest I have been playing off and on for years and I still fuck up builds all the time.
            Don't worry about this too much, you can get respec points as currency, and if you stick with the game you'll be making new characters all the time for the new leagues trying out different skill paths and whatnot.

            Don't even watch guides besides maybe one for a simple build that'll get you to end game. Find a skill you like, look up the neat stuff people do with it, and run with it.

            Even hearing people talk about all the systems is overwhelming at this point and I have like a thousand hours in from back whenever it came out.

            There's also about 5 different end games at this point, so when you get there just do what's fun for you and don't worry you're missing out by not doing one of them.
