I joined the forum about 2-3 weeks ago and I don’t think I posted a proper introduction. Since I’m sitting here bored outta my mind at work, I’ll make it detailed.
Short version: My name is Jon I live in Tokyo and Im searching for the next D2.
So, as my name/location is outta the way I’ll start. I moved to Japan 6 years ago and at that time I had basically quit all gaming to pursue a pick up lifestyle. The only game I continued to play was - Diablo 2. I played it on and off since the first year it was out and still to this day. I just don’t really get bored of it.
When I heard the news of D3, I bought a new PC decked it out and got it on the release date thinking it would be D2 and more… well, I think most of us agree on how that that story ended. however - D3 imo is a good game and I still play but - it did not fill the void. I heard Torchlight 2 was comming out and some of its features and had high hopes for that… again, not a bad game but were D3 was to tight and restricting I found T2 to be a bit too loose and free… didn’t fill the void
of course in this mix I had PoE. well, again, a good game and I like it but, I personally can’t see it being more than a one time play thru for me for various reasons, too quickly name a few the skill tree looked great at first but, in the end I crave for a skill tree more like D2,T2,TQ etc… I also find the characters a bit stiff. nonetheless , a good game but not “the one.” and… no offline mode.
which brings me to Grim Dawn. it looks great and I have high hopes it will be the best ARPG all round since D2.
peace
