KickStarter Grim Dawn

[undecaf]

So, didn't bother to read 100 pages of comments. What's the Kodex Konsensus on this game? Is it a funnish little grind worth a few hard earned shekels or a repetitive act of tedium that stays unchanged from start to finnish?

Also, a mild curiosity... What's up with this?

a)It's a good game, apparently. Good atmosphere satisfying combat + exploration.
b) Those hats are cool, second only to commissar hats.

Video game, movie and concept art industry is inbred as fuck.

For TQ to be really improved they'd have to cut at least half of the game because it is waayy too long and slow.

It's kinda hilarious, but it's 100% true. The game would've been far more popular if it wasn't so damn long. Cut the content by half and cut the XP needed to progress by 60-70% and you'd have pretty good game. People need to learn to not be such gluttons for empty content.

 

[Mustawd]

TQ would have been 100x better with a better XP/leveling/skill acquisition curve, as well as half or even a third of the content; like what has already been mentioned. Strange to think the devs thought that TQ in its vanilla state was going to be a game changer.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Getting one new level up every 1-3 hours in an action RPG is a huge fucking mistake. Progression felt soooo slooooow in TQ.

Like loot whoring games? Yes, you will like it.
Expect more than just loot whoring? You will be disappointed.

Same thing apply to Grim Dawn, I would be pretty happy if they cut most of act 3 and 4.

The build choices in GD are also really good, second only to PoEx.

 

[Lacrymas]

Act 3 is kinda fine, but act 2 is boring beyond belief (lots of bandit and animal killing within very uninspired locales) and act 4 is just unfinished (apart from having boring locales, though I haven't played in a while so they might have added content), especially when you get to Necropolis.

Playing Grim Dawn with this trainer lately: http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=580982&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I am basically using it for the free camera mode. It takes a little getting used to but it makes exploration a Hell of a lot easier. It also makes Blitz and other charging attacks a hell of a lot more effective:

substantial changes to the skill system and game design in recent months

Sounds like a horribly stupid idea given that its character system is better than Grim Dawn's by a mile.

 

[Daedalos]

Anybody got some good arcanist builds? with pRM

that depends on whether the changes make for improvements and refinements of the original system, which if so would be a welcome area of development, just as games are improved in the contemporary stage, or, in this case sometime much later after release. From the early feedback given most would appear to be finding the changes welcome, although some of the beta fixes are not, at least initially, altogether compatible with popular mods

 

[Hobo Elf]

Yeah, don't. It's an awful spell. Make an Occultist who uses Dreeg's Evil Eye instead.

 

[Multidirectional]

When I played it replicating missile was awesome.

 

[Daedalos]

I'm liking PRM alot. It's getting buffed next patch also, I hear.

 

[WhiteGuts]

Is this bitch worth getting ? Keep in mind that I'm not into h'n's in general.

 

[Hobo Elf]

It's a garbage spell. Completely inferior to DEE and Firestrike + Brimstone. You won't reach even half the DPS with a maxed out PRM that you could get with a maxed out DEE. And that's not even taking into account the beastly Poison damage that DEE does.

I'm liking PRM alot. It's getting buffed next patch also, I hear.

I'd wait and see how they buff it first, then. I've made several high level Arcanists decked in good gear who use PRM and I have never been impressed with the results.

Just use it till you get Laz0r and devastation spells and then forget about it. PRM quickly become useless after veteran.

 

[Daedalos]

I am using it quite sucessfully in elite right now. PRM + devastation. Works pretty good.

I like quirky builds instead of the fotm cookie cutters, and like I said, it's bound to be buffed at some point I guess. So far I'm enjoying myself, playing battlemage

It's a decent ARPG, better than Path of Exile, and abit worse than D3 in terms of production values. D3 is still better, but I'm tired of that game long ago.

Probably not unless you are really into character building. There's a lot of options in creating a build to suit your playstyle as long as you're not expecting to go through Ultimate Hardcore in which case there's only a handful of builds that excel at that unless you play a lot of Multiplayer.

I hope your kid is a demon with high heels because of that statement

[Daedalos]

D3 is still better

Yeah I know. I really don't like D3, but objectively, it's still somewhat better.

In its current state, if I picked it up, I would probably like it more than Grim Dawn. THat said, there are definitely some cool things that D3 doesn't have. Overall, though. The polish and production quality is just that much higher because.. well

It's fucking Blizzard.
