Read somewhere that the first parts of the story will be available upon release which made me wonder if one is buying the full game or if it's kind of early access 2.0 (or maybe someone had the wrong info).

Pity they dropped out of the GOG.com release. Will be interesting to see how the microtransactions are handled.

EA just had Act 1, the full release adds Acts 2 & 3, but Acts 4 & 5 are supposed to be released later.

I've had it for months now

It's pretty good but was janky, hopefully they're fixing that now that it's getting a wider release/more promotion

Thanks. Will keep an eye out for impressions. Surprisingly difficult finding info about planned subsequent acts, so far results I've come across in the meantime have just mentioned the 3. Edit: maybe they're considered the DLC, which I have read mention of.

Enjoyed what I played and like the combat actually has weight to it, but the Act 1 boss’s third phase is ridiculous and I’m not banging my head against this quite yet. Needs a lot of balance passes and bug fixing, but promising.

And yeah the story and voices are awful, but so is most everything else in the genre including D3 and PoE.

This bug list makes it sound rather borked atm. Magic exploit sounds useful though.

I watched a LP of about the first couple hours.

So there's that 9" tall dude who like, asks for his legions to be prepared to go fight demons. He's like a high inquisitor or something.
He's the dude in that armor which doubles as an architectural piece, with skulls and shit.

Then the main character turns out to have some supernatural powers and their friends are turning on her and banishing her cause maybe it turns out they're a demon so they're pissed.


I have no idea why that would remind you of 40K

Haven't really played any online, so that might be where most of it is, but the offline has been alright so far [except for one bug that was more annoying than actually a serious problem].

It’s not even a client-server game ala PoE so there’s really really very little benefit to playing online. Cheating will be rampant in online because of this so any idea of an economy is basically dead day zero.

tldr: it’s Grim Dawn and not PoE so don’t expect that

Yeah that shit about a good portion of the tree not doing anything is insanely bad.

I really wanted something to keep me from PoE but here I am rolling a 5th exile for Metamorph  :mjcry

Might just see if I can get a refund and wait for it to drop back to pre-launch prices again.
