I'm trying to decide if I still care about this game.

The ARK: Survival Evolved launch trailer is here, more tests done, no Vulkan support soon

I only clicked on this article because the front-page thumbnail had a picture of an adorable otter holding a small sphere. Where is that picture in the article!

I don't care about multiplayer. I just want to see performance improvements.

"Eco-friendly", huh? So will it feature "green" industries that bleed your tax coffers dry with nothing to show for it before suddenly declaring bankruptcy?

Quoting: KuduzkehpanDiablo 3 is action rpg with looting frenzy mechanics. Modable skills. And a good company. Blizzard
Still many diablo fan players left it.
And many more stayed. It is, in fact, one of Blizzard's most successful games to date. There's a reason they're still actively developing it and releasing paid content 5-years after release.
Because of good marketing. But biggest part of userbase existed because of in game auction house and paypal colloboration. My friends earned over 2k euro from loot selling. However still Diablo 3 worst than diablo 2.
That really doesn't explain Diablo 3's continued success and profitability.

Quoting: gabberIf you want D2 feeling, check out path of exile.
If I want a Diablo 2 feeling then I'll just play Diablo 2. Path of Exile is crap.

Quoting: Mountain ManStill looking for a native Linux "Diablo-killer". Games like Torchlight 2 and Victor Vran are good in their own way, but they lack that unidentifiable "something" which Diablo 3 has that keeps me playing long after I should have gone to bed.
Come on, Diablo III brought pretty much nothing to the genre aside from some unnecessary MMO mechanics. On the other hand, Torchlight series had plenty of nice ideas such as fighter/inventory/carrier pet, weapon enhancements as well Steam Workshop.
It brought a lot more then that. The skill and character progression system in particular is a game changer. Also companions with their own gear and skillset who fight by your side. And the biggest: a nearly infinite variety of viable character builds.

In short, Diablo 3 is a lot more innovative than it gets credit for. But most importantly, it's just plain fun.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLGame look very nice but this reviews... I found few opinions. One is about poor performande, dude with i7 6800k 4,5 GHz with GTX1080 on Windows have only 60-70 FPS and on little worse hardware FPS droping even below 30 FPS... So I need to know what this game performing on Linux. Next opinion is about boring locations and gameplay. Next is about price. 44,99€ is too expensive for this games from few reviews I see that this game should cost about half this price, maybe 19€ and all should be fine but for 45€? Too much.
There's a demo, but it seems it's only available for Windows.
