best 2d pvp focus mmorpg ever made
Love this video
Thanks for the kind words. Even though I've stopped making content, my ancient mmorpg videos hold a special place in my heart.
@@TheSuperRetroBros I have been playing HB Olympia for like 4 years now, so let me know if you have any questions. PS: I play HB since 2002 🤩
Dude. I didnt know there was just as much love out there for this game as i once had and listening to this video just brought on some serious nastalgia. Ive talked to a lot of gamer friends about it over the years, and nobody ever seems to know it. I was late to Dransik. I think i joined probably within a year of Ashen Empires. Although it seems my memory isnt serving me well here because i thought i vaguely remembered playing Dransik, still called Dransik with the isometric graphics. Man the feeling of running into a good town and killing someone and then fighting the guards and victory was actually possible. Everyone hanging out in the banks. Changing residence to live in the evil town in hell. And then much later, an update that would let you see your armor! I guess the rebrand was in there to Ashen Empires but for some reason i remember this all an Dransik, and Ashen Empires being the game when i came back a few years later to see if it still existed. Either way - this was one of those games that was really special IMO and i really wish the tone of MMOs had been more set by this style of game over WoW.
I was 3rd in the world in July of 2000 and won a mousepad. Highest achievement in my life because I've never placed 3rd in the world in anything else 😢
This is a terrible tragedy. I can't believe that this is called retro. Retro to me is like Pac-Man and Space Invaders.
Shared loot completely ruins playing with Randoms, unless I'm playing with friends shared loot is always a bad thing, but even with friends there's always that one guy who just tries to grab everything, shared loot can completely ruin the experience, I always look to see if a game has instanced loot and if it does I buy that game lol
There's nothing worse than fixed stats in any type of RPG, but especially in ARPGs, every piece of loot should be completely random as far as stats and rarity go, why have a random loot system at all if your going to water it down with fixed stats, cd project red made this mistake in cyberpunk 2077, and it's 2.0 update ruined the game and made every gun of the same name exactly the same, completely gutting the uniqueness from loot in the first place, either go all In on random loot or just don't have it
I love torchlights art style, which is actually very similar to diablo 3, and animated games always age much better than realistic games, and there was always something about diablo 2s loot system that just rubbed me the wrong way, i cant hoard loot to mass sell or dismantle it once i return to town due to the lack of storage space, leaving 90% of the loot on the ground just hurts my soul, and i dont play free to play games anyways but even if path of exile was a premium game i have the same problem with their loot system as well, on that front games like diablo 3, wolcen and inquisitor martyr do it much better
never delete pls
Not really. Dota for wc3 was the granddaddy of mobas. That and Nox doesn't share anything in common with mobas either. The multiplayer modes are all ripped straight out of an fps. It doesn't even control like a moba.
My buddy was one of those 600k units. I borrowed it off him. Never did beat it without cheating though.
Awesome game and memories. Thanks to this game im in IT right now.. I remember doing modifications like changing walking sounds more noticable, running steps red, grids for better Blizzzzzard aiming and so on. But it is true.. You had to have that little edge over others to be on the top of the foodchain. International was epic, also played little on USA and then on private ones. I was GM on small but close team, damn, such a good times!
aguante HELBREATH VIEjaaaa
jueguen olympia
Man, the 90s and early 2000s was a fun time
This game kicked ass man. I played Warrior first, Conjurer second and had a blast, and then Wizard third and holy shit was that playthrough a challenge. Wizard was absolutely busted in Multiplayer and that Co-Op Quest mode they released a little later though.
sometimes coming back here to watch it. It is a mix of joy and inner pain. Not only about what an old fck I am now. About the missed chances of this game. I played a lot of competitive games on high ranks, but this one really stood/stands out to me.
Another Gem destroyed by EA Games
If the Hitboxes and hit accuracy were NOT as atrocious as they are... D1 would STILL be the BEST Diablo Game to Date imo
I always thought the conjurer was the easiest with the summoning and the op bow and crossbow. Either way though, the mage is easily the hardest as you start hitting difficulty curves a few chapters in with bandits that will pretty much 2 shot you with bows and you have limited mana.
Ur mom ruined final fantasy
Big true
I’ve only just recently gave tl2 a real go. Between this and my standby grim dawn, I was able to scratch a Diablo 4 itch without supporting the dry experience that d4 server slam was for me. Idk what it was exactly but there are too many good arpgs to try and breakdown why a diablo from modern blizzard just doesn’t do it for me. Tl2 is imo one of the best single player arpgs I’ve ever played I think. Nearly grim dawn level, but I wasn’t trying to compare it to Diablo so much as trying to forget that I wasn’t playing a Diablo if that makes sense.
No doubt. TL2 is great. My channel a few years ago was very popular for my Diablo videos. So I made this video initially for diablo fans and what other games they could consider. Got a lot of hate for this video because of that. I usually recommend TL2 to ant ARPG fans.
@@TheSuperRetroBros it is unfortunate to catch hate over opinion. I just watched another arpg guy make a tier list and he dared to put Poe into D tier. Guess poor dude got death threats and shut down the comments like ppl chillllllll, we all love arpgs and there’s just enough that we can all like and dislike certain vibes. I hate seasons in these games, thus Poe is pretty d tier for me but I don’t attack the majority who say it’s A or S tier.
Thanks for that retrospective <3
At the time of this comment, as I was browsing through youtube videos of Nox to have them played in the background while I work, I just want to thank you and share that I'm working on a Nox mod for Diablo 1. Basically porting the whole campaign to Diablo 1, I also have a lot of fond memories of a lot of Westwood Studios titles, sad as well it died out. Unlucky it released around the time Diablo 2, definitely didn't help...
This game is amazing, i was about 18 when i got to play it through recommendation
I really hate the presentation of this video, but I have a ton of nostalgia regarding this era of video games. I did not play WOW! No beef with it, but I did not have the money to play And when Dransk/Ashen Empires became p2p I gave up after a few months After one of my best elementary school friends ripped me off, promising to trade me something valuable in exchange for another item. They ripped me off - a 12 year old kid I had known my entire life. They ripped me off for an inconsequential item they couldn't even use. I don't think the idea that you're interacting with humans in MMOs held as much weight when this game was in vogue. What a wild west era in gaming. There's nothing stopping the capitalism of the game. You could be evil, have a red name, but there wasn't any bad effects being evil; lawful guards would attack you, but you have the best items in the game... You could just live in "evil' cities and exist as a villain. The biggest problem I think some people had was they the villain only has things to gain. I think the absolute best thing is that we all played on the same server.
people should wait and boycott buying at all till they cut the price by at least 25% it is overpriced, and the early access pay to win upgrades are f'n slap in the face to gamers, however gamers are horrible and impatient people that wont do things for their own good.
This is such a shame this just tells these companies to keep selling us bullshit early releases and crap like that for already overpriced base games. You gamers need to learn some patience and how to boycott these exploitative companies.
This game stands out in my childhood. I feel like I don’t know anyone who has played it besides people online.
I started programming thanks to helbreath <3
This was a great game for its time. I think it got the wrong end of the stick back in the day, but im glad there is a group of enthusiasts working on opennox_hd keeping this game alive
This game will never fade in my memory. God damn this game is still god tier on my list after all those years. Playing this when i was only 5 years old awakened my undying passion in gaming and im now 22
Its one of the games that i always remember from time to time. A lot to be said for a game i played 20 years ago
11:28 This. All day this. They stuck a big middle finger to all of use who enjoyed the genre they basically created. What we like wont work anymore despite the fact it made them what they were AND THAT WE WANTED MORE LOL. Action games are more popular ao thats the way they went but its ignorance. They pretty much owned a genre
When I was real young, my grandfather would play Nox on his home computer. Whenever we would visit if he was playing he would let me and my brother help him. He'd give us each a key and have us watch his health and mana bars so we could activate potions for him when the bars got low. He passed away when I was in the 4th grade. A few years later in high school we found the game disc and I got to play it again for myself. I've always hated EA for killing this gem.
One name: Nomura. The clothes designer who shouldnt be in creative control. Sakaguchi was the visionary, Nomura simply a drawer...
Two names, actually: Nomura and Toriyama
Hey there Idk if you guys upload anymore but I notice your old Diablo 3 vids from 2017 on how it failed to live up to Diablo 2 had gone missing and I was wondering what happened?
hes was killed off by blizzard for making this review
This RPG is not like Diablo or etc. When you use spells, you hear all spell casting, all signs that you must do. For me, it's the first RPG that I love. If EA had rights, they just destroy many games like "Nox and "Red Alert"... Westwood and Red Alert were very popular... but whatever we talk about money, not the gamer's wants...
Been looking around for AE and Dransik videos, love to see this kind of thing is out there ^^
The last one I finished, was X-2. I tryed 12, but I got bored fast. I give it shot to the 13 trilogy, even 13-3, which it's one of the worst games ever made. I give a chance to 15, expecting a miracle, but that game it's soulless, I played like an hour and sold it a few days later. I saw one trailer of 16 and remember no shit about it. Looks booooring. A couple of decades ago, when a new FF was released, the hype were on the roofs and always it was the most wanted in rankings, among the players. It's was a worldwide party. The PS1 "trilogy" was the HL of the series and videogames industry. Always pushing the consoles to the limits and getting perfect scores.
I bought this game because my mom wouldn’t let me get Ultima Online. Worked out better. Love this gem.
I was almost 222 but i spoke too soon
Warrior was op In pvp
Long form content is quite popular right now. Any chance you can do a nox video Salt Factory style?
I've never watched Saltfactory.. Unfortunately I have two jobs currently and we weren't yielding a decent amount of viewership so we took a break... Nox easily is one of my favorites. Maybe when we return!
@@TheSuperRetroBros you seem to be the perfect person to make the first long firm video in Nox
18 years ago i've choosen conjurer, and today is mine favorite, I have the original game on EA but i can't run it pls i need HELP
And desteoyed UO too
This was the first pc game I ever bought. I remember it fondly. :)
I miss this game. I miss it so much. I played it ALL the time, and online as well on a regular basis. Are there still areas to play? I'd love to hop back on somehow.
This game was great. To bad it was over shadowed by Diablo 2
I would even argue Nox was better than Diablo 2
The video starts really well, but it quickly falls into a big problem, one that I can understand since it could happen to anyone, more when you are fan of a niche genre. Look I understand, Diablo is the goat for a reason and I get that we want to hold each game in that genre up to those standards, more when those standards doesn't need to compromise the direction of the game and are much related to general stuff or even quality of life content, but after the first half your video really comes as you wanting Torchlight to replace completely diablo and do the same things in the same way, hell even stuff like artistic direction and music. I see why you can draw comparisons and that this game clearly has inspiration from Diablo and I'm sure if I had played those before Torchlight I may even hold the same views in some way but Torchlight is it's own thing and at no point you seem to acknowledge this to some degree to accept it's not that bad to not be like Diablo. As I said, the review is not bad, the critics about the difficulty are really good and make sense but in some areas and moments it really feels like this game should be Diablo to satisfy you, and in some way I think this is the sad reason why this genre is in the way it is, since almost all new releases are compared to Diablo and in some way hoping it is Diablo, which is one of the reason Blizzard not only can do whatever they want with the IP, not caring, but why they still get tons of sells despite it, because people still crave for that IP and since there is barely to no competition Blizzard has a sort of monopoly in the genre, which only hurts it. I understand the feeling of not having seen your favourite genre reach the same high it did 20 years ago but I don't think this way of thinking helps the genre to grow.
it looks like this game took a lot of influence from Diablo
