Dark Alliances?

Post by fkirenicus »

Just found that the DA: BG games support 2 player couch co-op (at least it seems so). Anyone know if these are any good/not woke, and if the latest Dark Alliance which seems to be single player only, set in Icewind Dale, is good as well?

The new DA is one of those games where I really don't need to watch any gameplay or play a single second to know its ****. Seriously now...

The originals are from 2001 and 2004, so probably at worst as woke as BGII.

There's a new one? I'm sure it's trash.

Heh, I see some consider it the worst RPG of all time, meaning it is even worse than Descent to Undermountain (which I kinda like anyway :lol: ). That's some "achievement"... :mrgreen:

The new Dark Alliance is by far the shittiest game and is woke af. They worked together with Sweet Baby Inc and turned Cattie-Brie into a negro Image she originally looks like this Image and they turned Wulfgar from this Image to this generic viking ****** Image

No money on Dark Alliance 2021, then...
It seems outdated graphically, but I think we'll give DA: BG and maybe 2 a shot (me and the wife need a new couch co-op game to play).

Definitely give Dark Alliance 1 & 2 a shot, they are great Action-RPGs somewhat akin to Diablo 2 but with a DnD skin. Big part of my childhood.

You may be thinking of Champions of Norrath, or maybe Dark Alliance 2 (I haven't played 2).

Either way, my wife and I had fun in Dark Alliance. I wouldn't say it's good, but it scratched the couch coop itch for awhile.

There was the marvel games and the fallout game that used the same engine.

DA 1 and 2 are good. Norrath games are good. Also enjoyed Sacred 2 coop but I think that requires setting up multiple PCs. The PS4 version of Diablo 3 has couch coop.
