Grim Dawn or Path of Exile?

PoE:
1. Has desync.
2. Requires internet connection.
3. Is harder to hack or alter files, including duping.
4. Has only one or two builds that use more than one button to deal damage (curses, mobility, utility, and other skills don't count).
5. It is costly to undo more than a few skill points.
6. Builds are limited by socket
7. Only two-thirds of armor is usable. Armor-based armor has no place due to Immortal Call and Granite Flasks.
8. Has quite a few builds that can clear the entire screen in only one attack.
9. Armor becomes less effective against bigger hits. Smaller hits are negligible.
10. Block is not an option for a major defense. Not without gimping your entire skill tree and most gear towards it.
11. Complex and limited potion system. Flasks require either enemy kills, scoring critical strikes, or taking critical strikes to be used after being imbibed. But flasks can confer powerful bonuses and useful effects.
12. Loot is sparse and of low value.
13. Loot is used as currency and for crafting, lowering the effective amount of loot dropped or limiting crafting, or both.
14. It is impossible to play self-found, and have to reload areas to farm for experience even in lower level areas.

Grim Dawn:
1. Has no desync in singleplayer.
2. Requires internet connection for multiplayer only.
3. Is very easy to modify files and dupe items. But this is intended as Crate plans on releasing or allowing modding files to be released.
4. Most characters cannot just a-move. Different skills must be used in different situations.
5. Simplistic potion system. Life or mana potions only and they restore quite a bit.
6. Skill points can be easily and cheaply refunded, but only to a certain point, and only some points can be refunded. Points into skills can be refunded, but points into a "class bar" cannot.
7. Block is an option for a major defense but only for one class type.
8. Armor is both simplistic and complex. Armor is of only one type when compared to PoE, but each piece of armor is important. There are also other factors that are considered when being hit or hitting, meaning armor gear is only part of the equation. Read it for yourself.
9. Loot is regular.
10. Players can reliably play self-found without any problems, and without having to reload areas to farm monsters.

Grim Dawn is simply more enjoyable to play. Path of Exile demands more work than it gives enjoyment.

PoE because idgaf about GD until it's finished.

meh i dont mind grim dawn taking a nice break from poe just to boring for me atm !

Oh, I forgot something important.

GGG doesn't do anything to stop people from trolling or antagonizing others. Crate does:

No Reply Feedback, where players can submit threads without having to interact with other players.

No reply feedback is actually a nice idea. But here's the kicker: a lot of people on these forums only give 'feedback' in order to rustle some jimmies, they couldn't care less if GGG actually reads it :)

You realize that sentence makes no sense and it's a contradiction of itself, correct?

Biased listing is biased.

Since 1 is free to play and the other one is available on Steam, and guessing that your current hard disc can hold about 150+ Gb of data, i'll just leave this here:

"Hi, let me list the stuff I didn't personally like in PoE and the stuff I personally enjoy in GD. Have a nice day."

-OP

P.S. It's okay to like more than 1 game at a time.

Oo bias :D

You are comparing an online multiplayer game to a single player game.. that is not finished.
