Path of Exile, Titan Quest, Grim Dawn, Torchlight 2

[–] toxicbubble 38 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

this is the definitive list.

path of exile is most popular but has optional mtx(?)

titan quest and Torchlight are on multiple consoles. titan quest has a sequel in production

grim dawn is by the titan quest team, has a small file size, and runs well on older pcs.

Does Last Epoch belong on this list too?

[–] PlantJam 16 points 10 months ago

Yes it absolutely does belong! It's officially launching on February 21, but it's currently available in beta/early access.

[–] toxicbubble 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've only heard good things but haven't tried it yet, probably does belong!

[–] glitches_brew 5 points 10 months ago

Ive had a ton of fun playing it!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes! As a die hard Grim Dawn fan I can say Last Epoch is awesome. Grim Dawn is still better imho, but Last Epoch comes close. Both are excellent games one could easily put 100+ hours in and have a blast.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just wish that I could start at a higher difficulty on Grim Dawn with the appropriate scaling. I don't want to do the campaign 3 times just like old days.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Didn't they just change the game with the last patch (still being updated, my God the devs are GOATed) so they you can play to 100 in any difficulty? I still imagine you get pasted in elite and ultimate if that's your issue though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know, haven't played with that feature. The campaign with expansion is long enough that it was a pain to go through it to get to endgame.

It's a good thing that you can skip that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah I'm hoping so as well, haven't played since that patch. I got really burnt out spamming the story over and over too.

Path of exile charges for inventory QoL and with the ludicrous amount of different stuff that drops, it’s arguably kind of mandatory if you’re trying to complete seasonal objectives

[–] bisby 12 points 10 months ago

Its also free to play.

Or as some streamers say: its a $60 game with an incredibly generous free trial.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

For PoE you consider 30gb installed (on PS5 mind you) a large file size? Yes it has mtx, but it is not once pushed or advertised to you, and none of it is required for anything. They does improve the QoL of the game however.

CoD + WZ is around 240gb I think. Most modern AAA games are usually 90gb minimum.

[–] toxicbubble 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

true, I thought it was larger for some reason

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Some years ago they pretty much rewrote the entire base game code (or some parts of it) and tidied it up, reducing the overall size. It may be larger installed on PC (I'm on PS5) but I can't imagine there being too much of a difference.

[–] TheLugal 1 points 10 months ago

The MTX for PoE are within the "nice" ones. There's extra stash tabs, but you don't need to consider that until after the campaign. And then there's cosmetics. No pay to win. And the MTX are on your account, so they will be on PoE2 as well.

How is the couch co-op for Titan Quest? My SO and I spent a ton of time on Diablo 3 together and I might consider trying that again.

[–] anamethatisnt 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No couch coop on PC, so I don't know.
There is 2 player local coop for Playstation, XBox and Nintendo though
