For the price, this game feels cheap, like...

[Fairgamer]

like a F2P game without the full-on money grabbing shop.

It lacks polish and I would understand, if it was a budget price, but it's pretending to be something that it isn't.

Very underwhelming against all the alternatives out there. Not a patch on Grim Dawn or POE.

It kind of is budget priced. Yes, I agree that the game looks and feels cheap but it has some good systems in place that should give your moneys worth at only $35.

.... Budget price? Dude, it's half the price of every AAA game released. I'm not arguing that it lacks polish, but for $35 it could be a lot worse.

Unless you want POE where it's free to play but charges you real money for ♥♥♥♥ like stash tabs.

^i agree with those 2 and I'd add that the shop is cosmetics only, I personally think that's fine.

Comparing a game that jsut released to games that were released years ago. How about you compare them to day 1 PoE and day 1 Grim Dawn?

Originally during early EA the devs said it would be around 15$ at full release but that was changed like 2 years ago and the EA price is now the full release price.

What? Dude, games on super Nintendo costed more than this game. And that was in the 90s when the dollar was worth like twice as much. It is absolutely cheap.

I find this to be a case of everyone having a valid point that can be expanded on later

Yes, I am happy that for my 35€ I don't get excuses for not being able to have stash space, or having to pay for it etc

But at the same time calling this buggy mess a 1.0 launch is also a bit scuffed, there definitely are a load of issues with the game that the average person jumping in shouldn't expect even if the pricing structure was more fair than others on the market.

The game is still far from being a 1.0 version. Last year Unity controversy "forced" EHG hand.

ill tell ya the servers feel SUPPPPPPPPPPPPPERRRRRRRRR cheap...like the worst servers of any game to date tbh

[PortalShifter]

$35 isn't "budget price" for an ARPG?

Are you high?

2 issues with poe the angle its at and ya that pay for stash tab thats why i loved grim dawn and mods....ig go postal with a build and have sooo much loot it be funny

I'm fine with the game. yes the 1.0 release server situation wasn't fun, there are some bugs to be extinguished and some features could make use of a little more polishing. so yeah, it may be no "must buy" for everyone, but it's a solid game. Maybe even better than some AAAA titles, even if a comparison cross genres is always a little difficult.

Warzone says hi lol...

Don't mind graphics think they are fine, gameplay is what counts and this has it over D4 and that is all that matters in an ARPG and loot which again this takes on Diablo and wins...

Sounds like you've missed the New World launch. The server situation back then was WAY worse and lasted WAY longer.

[Dyer1981]

What feels cheap about the game?

I play D4 - I swing an axe and it makes a big orange blur and enemies explode
I play LE - I swing an axe and it makes a purple blur and enemies explode

Seems kinda samey to me.
