Do you have brain damage?

Have you tried the first Witcher? No action bars, the combat is more about prep than actual action complexity but it's a solid RPG, before it turned into a console button masher.
If you do you should grab this:

One of my favorite games of all times, the combat system was so much fun, ruined Diablo style point and click combat for me for ever.

this is poop from a butt, but it stuck in my brain somehow.

>>718163587
2.5D is not 2D.

>>718162762 (OP)
You need to go even further back for the obscure shit, Lands of Lore 2 & 3 for example.

>>718165359
>Lands of Lore
this is the first time i hear about it, looks good

>>718162762 (OP)
Xanadu Next is great.

>>718162762 (OP)
whay gaym ?

>>718165731
Looks like Two Worlds

>>718165503
You should play the graphical Ultima games if you want pure schizo-driven sovl.

>>718165731
Two Worlds Epic Edition

>>718165851
>>718165823
thanks anons

>>718162762 (OP)
there's this little known game called skyrim. you should check it out but not if you're a milkdrinker. please gibs reddit gold kind sir.

>>718163843
Witcher 3’s combat system is absolute ass, what was CDPR thinking? No depth, no challenge, most retro games have better game combat mechanics

>>718162762 (OP)
you're looking for eurojank

>>718165210
Retard

>>718162762 (OP)
two worlds was so bad

>>718162762 (OP)
Holy fuck why the visual so crisp and clean?

>>718162762 (OP)
Why not play a real video game instead

>>718166597
It's insane to me how popular witcher 3 is. The combat genuinely feels like it plays itself. I quit it after a couple hours.

>>718167197
Lack of dogshit TAA does wonder. Everything had to be made by hand nowdays jeets are just pressing few buttons and game automatically generates all for them

>>718167109
It's fairly well remembered today by people that actually played it. I want to try it out.

>>718167404
i had to put it on easy to skip combat as fast as possible and listen to the dialogues

>>718167197
2000s games upscaled to high resolutions and some texture mods here and there look much better than modern slop.

Does this kinda count?
I remember loving this game and its combat.

Crusaders of Might and Magic
I don't know if the game is good or not, ratings say it's mediocre. Was enough for me when I was a kid.
Why include "no 2D" rule when you have Diablo, Divinity, Titan Quest and others in there?

>>718167717
I'm still pissed they cut spears.

>>718167717
its already mentioned in the OP though
so yes, KoA:R is amazing

>>718167846
>Why include "no 2D" rule when you have Diablo, Divinity, Titan Quest and others in there?
as people tend to post shitty obscure indie games of today
also >>718165210 and you are mixing up isometric with 2D

>>718167643
hey where is volumetric anti soul fog to kill all vivid color and further detail even more?

>>718168537
Gameplay is still pretty much on a 2d plane in those games, if you mean visuals then you should probably specify that

divinity 2 (no not the famous one)

>>718168721
Divinity 2 is a great game but like all Larian games it runs out of steam in the last third, at least it had an addon that undoes part of the shitty ending.

>>718167846
It's imperative that you pay the PSX version though, the PC version is one of the worst games ever created, not even a bad port or something, but a completely different game a thousand times shittier.

>>718168721
I wish more games let you turn into a dragon.

>>718165210
It's not, but 2D is in fact 2D, retard.

dungeon siege 1-2 and spellforce 1-2 maybe 3 too

Demon Stone

>>718168973
Play Drakan, you don't turn into a dragon but you ride one which is even better since Divinity 2 replaces ground enemies with air enemies once you turn into a dragon but in Drakan you can grill a troupe of squad of monsters now problem while also fighting dragons from the ground.

I loved 2 worlds 1/2
Horribly jank games

>>718169031
stfu retard you are talking out of your ass

>>718167504
I played it when it was new and it was hilariously bad, buggy to the point of being non-functional, and what little story and setting I could suss out was completely generic. Maybe this epic edition cleaned it up, but it'd have to clean up a hell of a lot.

>>718169224
Riding a dragon doesn't have the same feel as being a motherfucking dragon, though.

To this day I think only an old ass MMO let you fully play as dragon.

>>718162762 (OP)
gothic?

>>718169710
Gothic ain't obscure in 2025.

>>718169436
No, retard, you are. Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 are fully 2D games. They are neither a 3D game locked onto 2D gameplay (as the game is fully 2D sprites), nor a 2D game simulating an illusion of 3D (as with og XCOM). They're both just 2D games in the most literal meaning of the word. Making sprites from CGI models or parallaxing or making more realistic assets do not change this simple fact. Learn your terminology before you use it and definitely learn your terminology before aggressively defending your misuse of it.

>>718169797
neither is anything else on that list desu

>>718169797
well most of the games in the OP aren't obscure.

>>718162762 (OP)
The Nomad Soul
Soul Reaver
Arx Fatalis
Might & Magic 6-9
Project Nomads
Giant Citizen Kabuto
Tonic Trouble
Severance blade of darkness
Enclave
Rune
Heart of Darkness
Vampire the masquerade: redemption
Messiah
Shadowman
System Shock
Gothic
Star wars shadows of the empire
Zeno clash
Heavy métal fakk 2

>>718162762 (OP)
Gothic 1&2 are better than every game in that list

I had a game called Dark Stone on PS1. Apparently it's on PC/Steam. Never heard a single person mention that game. I have no idea if it's good or not, I was a dumb kid.

>>718169891
its 2.5D and you're still a faggot

>>718162762 (OP)
Solos

>>718169710
yeah forgot to add it as well
>>718169797
its not just obscure games, good old games are list worthy

Inquisitor

>>718170208
You don't know the meaning of the term, retard. Only D2R is 2.5D, not D1 or D2.

>>718170401
wrong but stay mad

>>718170454
Correcting idiots isn't being mad, retard.

>>718170392
this shit was so boring

>see argument
>only defence is shouting "NO"
I can't claim to win an argument that never happened. It just became a lecture to a retard flailing around.

>>718170942
bruh what the fuck is this are you reading a novel or playing a game?

>>718170981
very exquisite argument reddit saar
i shall redeem your victory over being wrong that Diablo is 2D

>>718167717
Should I play this or the remastered version?

>>718171074
Isometric isn't 2.5d, some games journalists would call it that in the 90s and early 00s and it was retarded then and it's retarded now.

>>718171074
>still flailing
Alright, for real though, this is my last reply, so make sure you get the last word.The brain damage I suspected in the beginning has been revealed in full since.
