@Hellsing,
A friend of mine complained that, while playing, he experienced "rubberbanding". You know, that thing where you lag and the netcode freaks out and you aren't where your client said you were but back over at this other place and your guy just kind of teleports back. This was experienced in single-player.
I just think that the alternatives (Path of Exile, Torchlight II, etc.) are likely leagues better than Hellsing.
Rubberbanding is a different thing, where players are artificially made equal by the game to try and make it seem closer/more competitive or whatever. Mariokart is notorious for this.
That's "rubber band AI". "Rubberbanding" is the lag thing, where you think you're moving somewhere but then the server says "I didn't get your packet so you didn't move" and you pop back to where you were.
E: Ninja.
I've... never heard that referred to as rubberbanding. That's new. Normally I hear it heard as more like "fucking shit this connection is bullshit fuckfuckfuck".
Ah, the technical term.
For ARPG's I can recommend Sacred 1 and 2. They're games that take place in a wide open world with side quests and hidden areas to explore along with a main quest. The character skill system is quite flexible with a lot of different ways to build a character (though I'd recommend reading levelling guides, that stuffs complicated for me).
Negatives I can think of are, in Sacred 1 the item affixes make no sense (due to an error in a translation file I believe, like all entries got moved up one or something) and in Sacred 2 the one boss I've fought so far is/was damn hard for my character build. It's a game where if you don't build your character right it can make things a lot more difficult later on.
The main reason I got them was because of the wide variation of character classes. In the first one there's Battlemage, Daemon, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Gladiator, Seraphim, Vampiress and Wood Elf. Sacred 2 has Seraphim, Dryad, Dragon Mage, High Elf, Shadow Warrior, Inquisitor and Temple Guardian.
Though, I just looked at Steam and neither of them are on sale at the moment.
