Feel free to replace “friends” with “anyone you know in real life” or even online groups you trust or are close with.
“They”:
and my own personal experience; most games I have bought in the past 10 years have been off of recommendations from r/gamingsuggestions before Reddit went to crap and Lemmy came into existence; and even moreso when it is a personal friend recommending things to me.
Mods, feel free to nuke if this feels too close to advertising or better-suited for [email protected] (my own community); I mean it more as a discussion piece but I don’t run the place.
EDIT: The “not” in the title is optional; I’m asking about both successful and failed recommendations.
Grim Dawn. “hey remember Diablo 2,the best ARPG ever? This is that but better!”
No it’s not. It’s not bad, but it just doesn’t click.
Have you tried Path of Exile?
Yes! I played Grim Dawn for about 8 hours before i quit, and according to Steam, i dip in a whole 30 minutes before i uninstall it. I can’t remember about the game at all and why i quit, i assume it has the same issue with Grim Dawn.
Weird, path of exile is pretty much as close as you can get to diablo 2 and it still being a new game.
TBF a good portion of the appeal is finding the combination of skills and equipment that tickles you the most at the moment
The rest of the game is pretty much just the xp you need to level up and the training dummies to determine how effective your build is
Yeah, i remember being so bored of it because i literally just click the enemy and everyone explode, and only occasionally spongy enemy. I also remember i can’t progress much in that 8 hours i put in, thing feel and play the same for that long. It just wasn’t my thing.
