Added tag to store page, "diablo like"

[Tenz]

Hello fellow exiles, I thought it would be a good idea for other people to find this game by adding the tag to the store page that describes where this game came from. I think if we all work together we can give POE2 the label it deserves.

should be "trash-like"

There's already a tag for this genre of game. ARPG

D4 isn’t a diablo like, so the tag may be confusing.

It's still a Diablo-like.

ARPG is the term you're looking for. There's no such thing as "diablo-like".

It's a loose association to describe the type of game, which is ARPG/Hack n' slash dungeon crawler gameplay with randomly generated maps and loot. And a callback to the original game, Diablo, that started and popularized the genre.

No.
Diablo series is ARPG.
POE is ARPG.
There is no such thing as "diablo-like".

Just like Rogue created the Rogue-like genre

Because there was no genre for that type of play before then.

h&s that followed the diablo formula (top down, realtime, procedural dungeons, generated loot), were called diablo-like after diablo 1 released, because there was no game like it before, dungeon crawlers were the thing, with slow paced gameplay and most of the time in first person view. People actually spoke the term, I heard it and I used it back in early 2000.

Also, diablo-likes are not ARPG, ARPG is too broad of a term (especially these days, cyberpunk 2077 is an ARPG, but it has nothing in common with diablo). The proper term is hack&slash, that what diablo-likes were called back in the day, there was a shift somewhere, I don't know when, nor why, I would put blame diablo 3 for straying away from the formula (it's always gonna diablo 3's fault).

Is Diablo in Diablo 4 yet?

And as you can see from the past 30+ years, that never became a genre. Because ARPG is the genre you're looking for you.

Diablo is an ARPG. It has been since Blizzard used the term to describe Diablo 1. You can keep misusing words, but no one is going to adopt "diablo-like" but you. Because ARPG is the genre for games like Diablo and POE.
As for RPGs misusing the term ARPG, that's a problem, too. But it's at least more accurate and less asinine than "diablo-like"

Incorrect. ARPG has been the correct term since Blizzard first used it when talking about Diablo 1 in an interview back in the 90s.

They were, and still are, called ARPGs.

You don't know because no shift has ever happened.

[Tenz]

So glad "diablo-like" is here to stay forever. It feels good for poe to pay homage to Blizzard for it.

[Vatel]

The term "Exile-like" i can get behind.

[Seafarinhare]

Did it get removed? I don't see that tag.

There was no genre for a game like Diablo before it existed. There were games similar to it, like Rogue-likes, and there were other Action RPGs, but none that had all the elements of a game like Diablo.

Diablo WAS the game that popularized the term ARPG being used for that type of game. It literally spawned the genre.

The funny thing is David Brevik originally planned for Diablo to be Turn-based like a Rogue-like. Blizzard wanted it Real-time, and that's how the modern Diablo was born.

So what you are saying is "diablo-like" is a perfect tag?

And that has never been an accurate tag. There is no role playing in the Diablo-like genre. They're either diablo+likes, loot hunters, or hack-n-spash games.

The Witcher and The Elder Scrolls are closer to being ARPGs.

Should add 'exile-like' to Diablo 4's tag

but it isn't like diablo. it's much better. why give credit where it isn't due? diablo is no longer synonymous with this genre. Path of Exile is.

this game was a "diablo-like" before Blizzard started gutting Diablo III. Hasn't been a "diablo-like" since like late 2014. DIABLO isn't a diablo-like.

it's time to let blizzard's grip finally slip from this genre. they failed.

Other than you hating on diablo and loving poe... is there any other reason you are saying it's better than diablo?
