rpgs?

[aurelianus]

I don't see what you're talking about, really... There's no way you can consider any of the BG-style games (BG, PS:T, Icewind Dale...) hack-and-slash (well, maybe BG, but yeah). And PS:T is at least heavily character and story-driven, while Diablo is phat lewt and skills-driven...

For you, as fan, there must be a considerable difference between them and Diablo. But I don't like too much nor D&D RPGs, nor hack'n'slash ones, and for me the difference between different Action RPGs is not so big. Particularly, I liked Diablo 1 & 2. What I really like, are the classical Console-Style or Tactical RPGs and strategies with RPG elements, like the Disciples and HoMM series. I've played Torment and I liked it, but Torment was "eliminated" from my gaming list by FFVIII...

P.S. For Action RPG fans: there is a good Diablo-Style RPG, released last year, Sacred.

Skinner8, couldn't be done something with this very annoying post-confirmation bug? It's happening for the "n"th time! Clicking on the "Submit Reply" button, instead of the refreshment of the page with the new message displayed, I get the error page: "The page cannot be displayed". In fact, the message is posted, but is not confirmed. It does not count, nor in my number of posts or in the number of the thread reaplies, and is not displayed as newest reply. And it's happening for many people, and ONLY on THIS forum. Never seen anywhere a such problem!
