    Amazing arpg. Anyone who disagrees, isn't an arpg purist.

      Ya, this has been a ton of fun so far. Really glad I gave it a try and will definitely show some builds once I establish them and get further. There are so many directions you can go, and it all seems viable.

      I'm still really enjoying this as I progress through it. The camera makes me feel relaxed as opposed to alert like some other arpg titles. It's amazing how a subtle thing like that can change things.

    This game is so good. Every time I play and find new loot, it makes me want to roll a new class. So many easy to find items are build defining and keep new playthroughs interesting. Deserves a lot more love than it usually gets.

    • @MinMaxRPG
      @MinMaxRPG  4 місяці тому

      Agreed, it's been crazy how many usable items have dropped. I'm constantly planning builds for the character that I'm playing and others from what drops. I'm not sure why it's less popular than some other titles but I haven't reached endgame yet and I hear that is a sore spot for it unfortunately.

    • @Bluntspammer
      @Bluntspammer 4 місяці тому

      @MinMaxRPG Yea, I don't think it'll blow you away as there's not really much to it TBH. I think GD's real strength is build variety, not necessarily end game.

    This is the game I have gone back to time and time again every 4 to 6 months for years.
    Many people make the mistake of only playing through it once on normal or veteran then stopping....This is a huge mistake as the game actually starts on ultimate.
    There are hidden areas, hidden quests, hidden bosses, hidden achievements.
    It doesn't hold your hand either, you figure it out as you go the first time through doing the best you can and then collect all the stuff to hand over for the next character to have a easier time of it......then it happens a piece of interesting gear drops for a old character or that makes you want to make a new one....and another....and another.....and another....then you look up and realize its been weeks of playing it and nothing else.

      While I was doing some brief research on the game one comment that I found coming up repeatedly was about how people like yourself keep revisiting the game periodically. I really like that it stays fresh on subsequent playthroughs like that. My stash already feels too small haha.

      It makes it so the 5th shared stash slot is a dump into a searchable file program on your computer and the 4th stash slot is a retrieval from it.
      Just make sure you install it on the same drive as the game, and do not worry if a virus warning comes up, its 100% safe been using it for years.

    never heard about anyone complaining about this games endgame,its by far the best in the market,last epoch seems more interesting because of its structure,but its not actualy as fun in practice,here you have roguelike dungeons,nemesis faction bosses in the open world,diablo like rifts,a horde mode,uber bosses,rep farming,(also alts serve as a good ''endgame'' activity that you cant get in diablo for example),and the expansion will bring something new plus enhancements to previous modes

    Played the game twice a few years ago, plus the first DLC, planning on playing again around the end of the year once the third DLC content is out and I'll buy the second and third DLC.
    It's clear to see that Grim Dawn is a passion project from them that they care about the game with all the updates and extra content being made, it's hard not to reward them for that, especially as it's one of the better Diablo like RPG games on the market.
    I can't say about the complexity of the game mechanics, I didn't have any issues with it when I played it a few years ago, and I'm assuming that it's not much different now, unlike Path of Exile, which I do like the game but it's just too complicated that I've tried to play the game 3 times but got fed up with it, hopefully, Path of Exile 2 is better in that regard, and don't get me wrong, I like having many options, but sometimes it can get a bit too much.

    i passed on buying this game in 2021 (thought it looked meh) Then picked it up on heavy discount in 2023 and have logged 300hrs since then, it is easily the most beginner friendly ARPG that still rewards veterans of the genre. The lore is easily 10/10. Gameplay 11/10. It is the only ARPG i even consider playing hardcore, because im always making new characters anyway.

    • @rednab2001
      @rednab2001 Місяць тому

      Most gamers are not going to like POE. It is far too complicated (for no reason most of the time) and takes far too much time investment to be able to get to all the good stuff. Add on top of that, the games developers are quite hostile to the casual/semi-casual player makes it a niche game that the streamers and no-lifers will enjoy but stinks for everyone else. I started playing POE in 3.7 Legion league. I made POE my main game after 4K hours in Grim Dawn and even more in D3 & D2. All was well until 3.15 and the big player power nerf. The developers wanted to try to slow down the top end of the player base. What they did was nuked the casual players. Their nerfs did nothing to slow down the people who were trivializing the content. I went from doing red maps to being stuck in yellow maps. Following leagues got worse with the changes made. I now play less than a week of POE each league. I used to play an average of seven characters into red maps. Last league I quit after three days. People with jobs, friends and families typically have limited time to play games. POE is not for those people. LE and D4 are for the casual players.
