I don't think anything needs to be said about GD itself, but one recommendation: If you love Diablo 2 you should absolutely play the GD Mod "Reign of Terror". It fully rebuilds D2 in GD, just with GDs much faster and modern gameplay. It even features all the D1 levels and Quests as Act 6. Absolute blast to play, I can't go back to D2(R) now.

Why isn't the GOTY enhanced edition the one you want to play? Surely it's an improvement on the original?
@youtubeterminatedmyaccount8882 2 ай бұрын
if your on PC then no. but for console i dont remember any problems. theres a massive memory leak on the PC version for GOTY enhanced. meaning after some amount of save and quits or loading anything, your memory usage will increase till the game becomes unplayable. seems that gearbox would rather spend time writing unsufferable scripts instead of fixing this.
@catsarepoetry 2 ай бұрын
I have noticed that after a certain amount of time playing it (enhanced) it becomes quite laggy. Pretty much unplayably laggy. Exiting to desktop and reopening the game fixes it (temporarily) but yeah, if that's what you're talking about it is annoying. Pretty lame, if Gearbox is aware of the problem and isn't working to fix it.

There are several neglected things which should be fixed, game is over 20y old and could use those quality of life upgrades, which one of them they finally did- enlarge stash space and make shared stash tabs, they actually learned something from Path of exile. Then one thing is pain in the ass is getting items you need, if you play with no trade with other players, you can be stuck with same weak weapon like from normal difficulty to nightmare, and upgrades are so hard to find, you got 1 chance to turn 1 base item (and thats if you find one) to Charsi to Imbue it into rare, and its all into luck. Then runes and socket numbers are is pain for itself. You can't remove runes from sockets, and to find a good base with exact number of sockets, well goodluck with that, its completely random and you cant modify number of sockets to add or remove in any way, game is too much restricted, wish they took that change from Poe too. Another thing i would want to change is to make mercenary AI smarter, he is often sluggish and gets stuck often in certain areas which makes him useless.
@ST0RYTEL13R 4 ай бұрын
Yeah, as much as I do love the game, it probably could've used a couple more layers of polish. On the one hand, trying to apply modern sensibilities onto a game that was originally two decades old pre-remaster would probably have some unforeseen concequences (Quake 2 RTX, anyone?). On the other hand, some of those sensibilities exist for a good reason.

There is a lot of endgame (not so deep as other) where you can do skeleton keys, nemesis hunts, rings farm from the heretic dungeon and the boss of that dungeon, you can prove you build whit celestials bosses and finally you can do crucible SR (shatterd realms) and farming MIs (monters infrequent) for unique builds. So there is a endgame.

Wait, Crate used to be Iron Lore? The Soulstorm guys? After completing multiple playthorughs of the vanilla Grim Dawn campaign (about two and two halves at present), that makes _entirely_ too much sense. This game _bleeds_ 40k, if the _cultists_ wielding _chaos_ magic as an _inquisitor_ chases them down (oh, and the inquisitor is named "Creed" of all things, because of course he is) didn't make the spiritual inspiration clear enough. The trolls are basically less funny Orks, right down to the anomalous amount of firepower. The Black Legion (not to be confused with 40k's faction of the same name) are like Cadians if they came from Nostromo. The dimapterans break up the supernatural shenanigans with some Tyranid hive-cleansing action. Kymon's Chosen are basically gender-neutral Sisters of Battle with a dash of Biel-Tan, while the Order of Death's Vigil are more Iyanden ("let the dead join our ranks, lest we join theirs"). And later on in the game, the feuding between the aetherials and the cthonians feels vaguely reminiscent to older, cooler 40k fluff of the Chaos Gods feuding with the C'tan for having equally sinister but mutually exclusive plans for humanity. And though the chaos forces ultimately monopolize both settings, it's the aetherials that seem to pose the bigger threat and were honestly more interesting. For a faction that arguably _caused_ the setting (even if it's _very_ clear Cairn wasn't exactly the happiest place on Earth before the titular Grim Dawn), the aetherial side of the fight ends on a bit of an anticlimactic fart. Waiting for the Malmouth DLC to go back on sale. I don't normally pick up all the DLC for a new game, even when it's on sale, and in this case I'm kicking myself for it. Grim Dawn is like 40k without the Space Marines. This might sound to some like Oreos without the cream filling, but the change really allows the grimdark doom of the setting feel more legit than modern 40k ever will. You can't take the Imperium's alleged peril seriously when they have super secret projects that can dispense a million super-super-soldiers without any foreshadowing whatsoever. To say nothing of where the hell a supposedly deliberately technologically regressive theocratic regime keeps getting all these new and improved STCs from every time the Imperium is due for a new codex like they were the friggin' Tau or something, but that's Novelty Creep for ya'.
@ST0RYTEL13R 5 ай бұрын
Can't Say I've heard GD described as 40K sans Space Marines, but I can't say I don't understand it. As for Iron Lore, I still call them Imperial Guard because of DoW, so I've got them to thank for my regular annoyance at seeing them called literally any other way. Made up for it though. I've played Soulstorm skirmish too much to blame them for it.

Very moddable, too. Can't discredit that.

@zachb8012 5 ай бұрын
I hadn't been invested in the lore of a ARPG since Diablo 2 until I played GD. While the cult of Cthulu and expansions lore struck me as nonsense, the lore around the Grim Dawn and world building is top-notch. My single biggest problem with GD is the combat often misses the mark for button mashing. You can often activate skills in whatever order to the same effect, something Last Epoch has fixed better than any game I've played to date. Skills should set up with others for synergy combos, with each skill effect having some kind of utility. Fake Necromancer example - Bone Wave causes bleeding, Hail of Blood is an AoE that slows and causes bleeding enemies to freeze, Blood Harvest pulls bleeding enemies towards the caster healing the caster for all bled damage before pulsing the excess in a nova which causes non-elite frozen enemies below 30% health to shatter. If every skill yields a unique utility and every utility has a synergy with others it opens the door to so much more build diversity than max DPS and instead of number-go-up nodes, the passive tree can be full of unique nodes which modify synergies to open up different skill rotations. Even the top tier unique items can offer modifiers to synergies or utilities, Bramble Shield causes bleeding on block or smite, Blood Swoord has a 10% chance to cause a Blood Harvest. Now your Melee character does necro things but can't benefit from the frozen modifier unless they pick up a gear that somehow freezes enemies. Blah blah blah.

@scipocelah6677 8 ай бұрын
"best in the genre" is entirely subjective. I think PoE is one of the worst in the genre, it's overly complicated, the builds are homogeneous (i.e. Your base class means VERY little), and the seasons gimmick forces you to recreate characters every few months (though I blame D3 for this). PoE is effectively "D3 with a different skin" and everyone hates what D3 did to the genre. The fact that PoE is free to play is the only reason I feel it's as popular as it is. But fans of the game will completely disagree with me because they love the systems in PoE that I hate. Hence, it's subjective.

Hope you get more views! Grim Dawn is one of only a handful of games I've bought multiple times since I wanted to support these developers. Also Crate just announced a new expansion and they've been releasing balance/bug patches pretty consistently from day 1. Honestly their gameplay focus and passion reminds me of early Blizzard Studios in a lot of ways (god help us if they go down Blizzard's path). I do wish you'd discussed the mod support a bit more as Dawn of Masteries and Reign of Terror especially are huge and could probably have their own videos! Dawn of Masteries is a ton of mashed up classes from like every other ARPG giving tons of build options and loot and Reign of Terror is basically Diablo 1 + 2 rebuilt in Grim Dawn. What makes Reign of Terror even more fun is it allows you to play it using the dual-mastery system and can even let you use the Grim Dawn masteries to mix in with Diablo 2! Is it broken? Yes (there's a purist version that disables these features). Is it fun? Very much yes!
