New Grim Dawn Player (as the title suggest) bought it during the holiday as I was looking to finally find a new good ARPG and will be honest here as of right now it isn’t disapointing.
Started ARPG like a lot with the original Diablo game and did play and try multiple over the years. Honestly (in my opinion) as of now nothing has came close to Diablo 2. Not a surprise considering how they target everything as the new Diablo 2 game
Outside of that I’m from Québec (Canada) and my first language is French so pardon me ahead of time and I’m coming here on the forum to ask question and get a better gripe on some of the game content. (Explanation seems lackluster and there is wide area that can “fear” newcommer thinking they might screw their character up.
Welcome to the game and to the forum Kralw. There’s plenty of info on the forum for you to get your teeth into and also many helpful people to ask questions of.
Welcome to the forums man. It seems we all come from the Diablo Universe. I’m 500+ hours into this game and I’m not even close to being bored. Great pickup on the steam sale!
The forum are massive the information is effectively everywhere.
To Medea I also played TitanQuest (and Sacred 2 and ect) after Diablo 2 and I guess for people coming from Diablo 2 it was damn hard to find his real successors (even Blizzard wasn’t able to do it) while for people that did play different game Diablo just didn’t seem to resonate the same way.
Maybe a fact as coming from Diablo itself (15 stage of hell) and seeing the massive improvement in the game while people coming from a Titan Quest toward a Diablo it might have seemed just another one ((which was the feeling I had when playing a lot of those other games…just trying to be Diablo2 nothing new except the map)
Hey I came in on the Steam sale as well! Though I’m not an avid arpg player…I’ve never even played Diablo :eek: Torchlight 2 was my last one. Anyways…hi!
I agree Kralw, I think it often depends on which way you met D2. It was a groundbreaking game no mistake, but for me it was so inferior to TQ that it drove me crazy, especially that miniscule inventory bag. I did manage to get one toon to the nearly the end of Act 1 or the start of Act 2, but really couldn’t summon up the interest go try it any more.
And yes, games resonating is definitely another part of it. I’ve tried a few other RPG’s over the years, but TQ resonates with me perfectly. It’s MY game and I play it every day. I can understand many D2 players wanting to find the same resonance in other games and being disappointed.
Oh a Pet Build I asked a similar question in my other post
How does it run out in the end?
Is it all about your pet doing the job and you dropping a debuff here and there or you can actually still drop the pain with an Offensive Skill and have the pet act as tank/aggro?
