This isn't really true, is it?

The gem and skill tree systems alone are innovative to this genre. (the gem system in any genre, I believe)

Skill gems are the same thing as Elder Scroll's Morrowind system, skills level the more you kill
Skill tree is from Final Fantasy X

The mapping system - the "build your own" loot/maps using currency.

I agree, the modable endgame dungeons is inovative. But they started from the commun Endless dungeon idea and pretty sure they got inspired by D2's Organ hunting combined with their permissive crafting system to create what we know as mapping now.

The currency system - with no "gold"

i dont agree with the "no gold"
POE's corrency is just a crossing between crafting material and Gold, stuff that already existed but dont get me wrong, this is exactly what i said in first place, they didnt invented them, but they managed to stir them so they work togheter

No, it's not. I find your lack of outrage to be triggering.

There is one thing I'll give Grim Dawn that PoE will never have -- it allows the player to use new skills and replace existing gear pieces with new ones immediately, or at least with orders of magnitude less friction than PoE. Having to deal with sockets, socket colors and links is a burden, not a blessing.

However, PoE's ambition among ARPGs is unmatched, which makes it the more appealing game overall.

Grim Dawn does look very interesting and I've added it to my wishlist. But why the hell would you buy an EA game? Get burnt out on it long before it's even finished - what's the point of that?

Not to mention it gives the devs less incentive to ever finish their game, since the core playerbase has already bought it.

PoE is the best ARPG since D2, no question. So Grim Dawn would have to be something pretty special to top it. Seems like you picked all the bad points/things you dislike about PoE to use as a comparison.

Buying a game while in early access allows the community of players to give feedback that can be critical to a games development. Plenty of new things have been added because of this.

Plus you are giving more funds to the company which allows them to innovate and add more to the game itself. Grim Dawn was planned to be a rather small game. Act 2 was going to simply be a transitional area leading up to Act 3 where the game would end. Now Act 2 is far larger, Act 3 will be the largest Act with 3 parts and there will also be an Act 4.

And give the devs less incentive? Really? You DO know that games get most of their sales on release right?

Yay! I can mod Grim Yawn. Unlike that stupid POE. FU Chris! (just kidding Chris, You know I love you!)

*mods Grim Yawn to get OPestest items*

Yawns after playing Grim Yawn for 5 minutes.

(As also happened to countless nubz who modded TQ)
