Why I just paid $30 for Grim Dawn

[Sentinel 08295]

Big ARPG fan. I played the crap out of TQ and the expansion TQIT. For years it was the only game that I could play to get my D2 fix. I already know these guys know how to make a good game. So I did something I only do a couple times a year, I paid full price!

Update: Even in its unfinished state, this is 100% the game I thought it would be. Can't wait for further updates. Thank you for rescuing me from the crap that was D3 & the boring, desync filled map grind that was PoE!

For 8 hours of gameplay? =/

It takes more than eight hours if one is to reach level cap in this alpha stage, and I bet a high percentage of gamers are replaying/rerolling for loot drops/experience.

Don't bother with him Runtime. He doesn't grasp the concept that some people realize more is coming and are content with what's already there and enjoy the replayability. He's just choosing to hate and troll for whatever reason.

i pay 60€ for this when release but i payed this price already so its fine:)

games system goes better then d3 atm. i hope they fix expansion d3 ofc, but no stats and skillpoiint, still all runes are unlocked ez lol

Yea I also hope Reaper of Souls will make Diablo 3 a worthy game to play, but the replay ability is still super low due to the skill system.

idd yes, no choice, they put paragon stats in it now. but that just strange lol u can boost ur lvl 5 char with insane lot of points if u have paragon 100+ on account
that is imba lol

It's ironic since Blizzard first stated that they wanted only 60 levels and that D2's 99 levels was too grindy. Interesting how they completely reversed on that perspective...

Nothing is sacred when you're trying to restore a damaged franchise.

D3 & RoS will never compare to GD!

[DeMasked]

I think it's a tad unfair to compare RoS to GD at this moment since neither has been fully released. That being said I'm rooting for Grim Dawn more then Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls. I'll still probably check out the expansion when it comes out but I will definitely not pre order RoS after the Debacle 3 episode.

[DeMasked]

I agree that Blizzard made some really bad decisions when it comes to Failablo 3 and I have little hope in their ability to fix the mess that they created. However I will still look at the game when it comes out and if any of the streams/youtube videos show that it is good I'll get the base expansion (if their is a CE edition no thanks).

Oh and this also depends on Grim Dawn's release as well lol.

After D3, I have no desire to pick up RoS. I don't care what kind of changes they make. I am done with all things Blizzard. Plenty of other deserving Devs out there.

Diablo 3 is nothing more then a overhyped disgrace to any True Diablo fan who played the old diablo 2. Blizzard used to be good, but now sold their souls to the mainstream profiteering gluttons like activision. Let the simplistic, dumbed down RPGs come for all the kiddys to go battshit nutts over in the lineups at walmart. *rolls eyes

Actually blizzard didn't sell out to them, their parent company forced them to merge with activision, then years later their parent company wanted to sell them off and activision independently purchased itself back (and also blizzard since they are combined) from Vindeni. So Activision bought blizard by taking a majority stake of the shares. Blizzard never had a say in any of it.

You are the only one losing out of most likely the game all arpg players are looking for. If by some lame ass principles you are going to avoid getting RoS. Then by all means. Continue being stupid. As i said. You are the one losing out. Blizzard wont give a ♥♥♥♥ if you buy it or not.

As for Grim Dawn. What is all this about Act 1 being longer than 95% of other aaa games. That the price is totaly justified.

I spent 3-4 hours from start to killing warden. The story is rather generic. The leveling is straight forward. Almost on rails. All classes seems rather lame with too obvious cookie cutter specs.

It is still early access. So it got room to improve. And im sure it will. the game might be worth the price tag when its done. But its not worth the money in current state. Now it all comes down to how fast the devs are with updates.

But dont go around and give it credit that its not worth yet
