Edit: Also, took a look at the webpage, how far in the process is the company towards making this game? You can expect the game mid 2013.

Definitely looks interesting. I guess I'll keep tabs on it and eagerly await 2013.

This looks amazing. For some reason I'm really enjoying Titan Quest a lot more than I ever enjoyed Diablo 2. I guess it's the Greek aesthetic / lore.
The faction feature really jumps out at me as ambitious. And the rebuilding towns thing reminds me of the first promises for the first Fable. Arggg, I can't wait!

alpha keys for backers went out yesterday, I played a bit today.
Even on my crappy laptop, the atmosphere is really nice. Will play a bit more during TI3 qualifiers downtime

I remember this game, and i remember playing titan's quest to completion. Honestly, the aRPG genre is getting a lot of saturation for a type of game that is very hard to nail. the 'a' stands for action which describes the way the combat is as opposed to the might & magic style fpv, or turn-based combat that was more popular for rpgs.
I've kind of been let down by a lot of recent action-rpgs, such as Path of Exile and its little mechanics quirks or balance, and D3 and its story, game difficulty, and auction house... or Torchlight II with how repetitive it becomes.
The point i want to bring up the most though is that Grim Dawn might finally prove the genre is still able to be as grossly popular as those D2 days--maybe a slim chance, but it's worth giving it a small chance.

So far Grim Dawn seems much better then all the 3 games you mentioned.
|
Other than never knowing where to go, I'm having fun
|
I know its just alpha but this doesnt look promising at all. I expected more tbh.
|
Everything I've seen of this game looks like a re-skinned Titan Quest. Granted I enjoyed TQ but would I enjoy it again, now with 150% more grimdark?

maps are kind of confusing. I also have yet to find my 5th piece of 'Scrap' for the 1st quest, after three hours played. And at the 4th portal, I ran into some boss, who was level 13, I was level 10 and he obliterated me.
And I could live with the fact that money is really scarce, but not having a place to sell the stuff is a bit silly, at least the only trader I found somewhere in the woods was not there again the 2nd time I went there.
edit: now I ran into some nasty bugs that make it unplayable. In the 'kill the boss that is poisoning the water supply' quest, once I am past the spiders, I cant target the serpentmen any more, which happens randomly everywhere now, and at the 4th portal, after a bit of killing, the monsters and the char become invisible, only the shadows are moving on the ground.

It is an Alpha, what did you expect.
|
|
Only thing I don't like so far is the same skill tree from TQ with almost zero improvements. I did say the same on the official forums but TQ fanboys sent me packing.

I never got near the 4th portal before getting all my scrap. Are you sure you went everywhere in Wightmire?
|
scrap drops pretty randomly, there was one guy on the forum I saw who played through with more than 1 char and never completed that quest.
Anyone knows where the apprentice is to be found? There are a couple of cellars, and I have not yet found the right one.
I think this is my best item so far, but I also found really nice blue gloves with 15% ias.
|
There is a torrent out for alpha version of Grim Dawn if anyone wants to try this, but if you do I recommend if you like the game that you buy it then. The game is awesome, even in this alpha version and it is worth supporting.
|
I'm interested in playing but the fact that I can't pay with a VISA is rather annoying. Don't have a paypal or amazon thing or pay with google w/e that is.
|
you don't have a regular amazon account?
played my 2nd soldier to 25, then tried Hardcore. Died at level 12 to that stone giant in the underground passage. His avalanche attack took me to 400 health, I retreated so that he was just on the left edge of my screen and my hellhound was fighting with him, then he dropped rocks on my head.
my biggest gripe so far: High spirit requirements for any amulet with halfway decent stats, and tons and tons of gear with +skills for occultist, and almost none with +skills for soldier. And the AI for the hellhound is retarded, poor guy triggers on distance to enemy it seems, no matter if there is a wall in between.
And I dislike paying exorbitant amounts of money for re-skilling. Kind of defeats the purpose of Alpha/Beta imho.
Build 8 was super buggy, build 10 has not crashed a single time on me so far.
