I Was Expecting the Butcher...

[MycroftCanadaNS]

Hi.

Well, I have to say I am really enjoying this game thoroughly. I know people are comparing this game to Titan Quest, but I think they are wrong. This game is more Diablo than Titan Quest any day, even more so than Diablo 3 could ever be (not knocking the game, the game isn't too bad in it's own perverse way).

Earlier, I was down in a dungeon, and as I was progressing I suddenly got this rush of adrenaline, and a very uneasy feeling that I was about to match up with the Butcher once more. I seriously (in my minds eye) thought I was going to see the real Butcher from Diablo 1 stepping out of one of the adjoining cells, and man did I get apprehensive about it. You know a game is incredible when you have to stop for a few seconds to calm down because your imagination is working overtime, and boy oh boy my imagination needle was straining to break through the red zone, and I just couldn't keep up with the strain so I had to give myself a breather. At the time this happened, nothing was going on, it was the atmosphere that bogged me down, and made my mind become overworked. No game has done that since Diablo 1.

Grim Dawn oozes Diablo from bow to stern, and I am so very thankful to Crate for providing that feeling again. I have played Diablo 1, and 2, TL, TL2, Diablo 3, Titan Quest, and expansion, and nothing brought me so close to Diablo 1 as Grim Dawn has, I personally thought I would never see the true successor to the Diablo series until now, and man you guys have delivered in spades.

Keep it coming guys... and what the heck is up with those spiders? They are so detailed that I run to hills when I see them.

Cheers.

yes i totally agree with u.
The feeling is so good that it reminded me of diablo 1 till this date, diablo 1 is still the best of the diablo series for me.
Grim dawn took it for this generation.
Grim dawn has good diaries notes left around that form the story.
I hope i can find more of these to read.

It's a great game, even in it's alpha state. I have to say it's one of the better, more solid alphas I have seen in a very long time. The atmosphere is simply incredible.

The developers could do some animation for spiders, crawling on the walls, jumping from it to attack the player. That would make the spiders look even scarier and lively.

As of now, spiders doesnt seem to be a threat. They feel like smashable cakes.

I like the running for the spiders lots. Just maybe a jumping attack to the target for its secondary att.
Most of the time i could out run the spiders.
Need something able to stop players from advancing easily, skipping areas, making farming difficult.
Farming for now is just running to the bosses and nothing can stop me.

They could extend the holding time, and range when the spiders spit their web at you which would of course spell doom for any adventurer. I don't know how many times I have been mobbed because of being sprayed with web. Terrible pain in the behind when it happens.

Wait until you find Gutworm the Maneater.

yeah he is pain if u are a run and hit character. He binds u to the floor, cast a percentage decrease in health skill, and gives u an incredible strong attack.

but if u are a "tank" sort. he has no threat even though he is higher level.

I still hope there is more pressure in the game. Because in d2, i remember the enemies follow no matter how far u ran. they gather more if u explore more and eventually u have a tougher fight. Have to try to clear the area before exploring more.
This should be the way.
I hope the developers take note of this,.

I will hold i new thread for this in hopes they see this.

Gutworm can be tanked & spanked for a pittance of loot. Salazar & co. provide a real challenge for some decent loot.

I agree with OP, this game above any other has that Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 feel. I noticed a lot of people compare it to TQ, but except for skill system the game feels and plays differently.
