@James816 Screwing up is a part of playing a video game. I don't think that restricting choices available makes the game any more playable, considering you could always just choose to take the route that would've been chosen for you anyway. I liked going through Diablo 2 with the same classes multiple times with different stat builds and sure, once I wanted to test a VIT build but having the ability to do so is what counts. If you're lazy/uninterested enough to like the game divvying up your stats for you, just find an ideal guide online and follow it. Let everyone else have their customization and enjoyable character building.
Good! I'm glad they're realizing that making a Torchlight clone isn't the right direction to go for the third Diablo. Yeah, it's convenient to sell things while still in a dungeon. It's also convenient to have the game play itself and just watch it. Convenience does not make great games.
I'm hoping they'll bring back the ability to actually distribute attribute points the way you see fit instead of every level getting a predetermined set of stamina/health/etc. It's straying too far towards a simplified, streamlined version of it's former self, like Torchlight aimed to achieve. I hate pulling the 'console' card but a game like this, if it's going to be developed for consoles, has to be somewhat simplified (Look at how Starcraft/Diablo did on consoles in the past.)
I honestly think they should've kept it in but given those who used it, or those who don't, a little symbol next to their name on the scoreboard. Then the people that need to use it can use it and those who don't can brag that they don't. I can't help but think some people might be restricted to controller use for whatever reason and might need that in order to enjoy themselves.
I absolutely love Spiral Knights. I think they've really got a hit on their hands.
I never had a Dreamcast or Genesis or really any Nintendo systems so, while I've been playing games for a long time, I haven't really experienced a ton of Sega classics. I'm loving every minute of Spiral Knights, though.
