I enjoy both games, PoE more. And I should say that I enjoyed Grim Dawn, because I felt I did everything I wanted to do in the game pretty fast. Also, nice biased listing. IGN : @Morgoth	Posted by Morgoth2356#3009 on Apr 4, 2015, 5:03:57 PM Quote this Post

At least when I tried it gameplay was better than PoE, as you can have a variety of different skills, not just 1 attack skill like 99% PoE builds have. Not being limited by gem slots (in aura builds you often hardly have any left) and only 8 hotkey (7 actually) slots for skills feels great. For example in PoE I found that for me playing Animate Weapons build was impossible since 7 skillslots (1 for move) was not nearly enough for all the skills that I needed. It's was still a hell of a lot more boring, like I said, as of June last year when I tried it last You make my ochinchin go doki doki.

I liked Titan Quest! First game to introduce that kind of intelligent dual classing. It had a lot of variety, both in skills and items. And a very nice atmosphere. No classic dark theme, but a beautifull ancient world. Don't know why it never became a big hit... .	Posted by Soepkieken#7149 on Apr 4, 2015, 5:52:13 PM Quote this Post

Don't know why it never became a big hit... . it WAS a big hit in europe, as much as a single arpg can be a hit anymore thing is, D2 was a game changer in regards to online play in ARPGs. its tough as fuck to create a 'hit' (ie sell units) with a single player-only ARPG game nowadays, sadly enough.

Excellent usage of pseudo-history as you move, literally, from the Ancient World of the West to the Ancient World of the East. Grim Dawn is just bland by comparison. I dont know about that. GD is good on its own, for its budget. of course the non-canonical setting is what separates TQ from the rest (and GD for that matter). TQ and GD otherwise arent that different though- GD is nearly a continuation of TQ.	Posted by grepman#2451 on Apr 4, 2015, 6:08:48 PM Quote this Post
It's not known as Grim Yawn for nothing, sure PoE has a multitude of flaws but at least you can stay awake more than 10 minutes while playing it. Last edited by Randall#0850 on Apr 4, 2015, 6:53:31 PM	Posted by Randall#0850 on Apr 4, 2015, 6:53:10 PM Quote this Post

TQ and GD otherwise arent that different though- GD is nearly a continuation of TQ. Oh, system-wise, absolutely. And that's another part of the problem: we can still play Titty Quest. So why switch to GD?] I'll confess, I haven't touched grim dawn in ages but the beginning was just so lacking in hooks when I did play it. you know, thats a good point. Ive tried answering this, and honestly I'm having troubles coming up with something convincing. I gues I'll say that while I liked TQ, it was a 'do a couple of builds beat the game and fugheddaboutit' type game for me...so GD offers new skills, 'challenge' dungeons like SoT and just a fresh start/new game/setting to explore, to have another one of those 'do 1-3 builds, beat the game and fuhgedaboutit' experiences shrugs Last edited by grepman#2451 on Apr 4, 2015, 8:32:15 PM	Posted by grepman#2451 on Apr 4, 2015, 8:31:45 PM Quote this Post
