So this game is $5 right now on sale, I'm interested, but I'm not 100% on what type of game this is. I've heard it's similar to Diablo, like grim dawn is. I just bought grim dawn and I'm figuring if it's fairly similar I shouldn't bother getting it just yet so I don't get burnt out.

Could a kind user quickly describe what kind of game this is? I can't seem to find an actual answer

A Diablo clone.

It's the game that Grim Dawn devs made before making Grim Dawn.

As such, it's inferior to Grim Dawn since GD improved from TQ in a lot of ways.

You should play TQ before GD if you want to appreciate it more.

I normally play games in release order, but is there any actual reason to play titan quest first if it's inferior?

It simply has worse mechanics than Grim Dawn.

The reason is that you will be going from a good game to great game instead of downgrading from a great game to a good game.

Would I be missing out terribly if I don't get titan quest, and just stick with grim dawn?

You'd be missing on a good game with an entirely different setting and storyline.

Good point. I think I'll get it and play it before grim dawn. I can always take a break between the 2 and play something else I picked up on steam.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

It's a tad slow but it's gorgeous and quite good.

unless you have a boner for the Greek mythology setting, no

Grim Dawn is better, play that, its like the same company that made titan quest anyway

ive already got titan quest and the xpac but have never played it. Does the anniversary edition add anything thats worth the 5 bucks?

If you had the game and expac like you claim you'd have gotten Anniversary for free in your Steam library already you lying sack of shit.

just checked. i do have it, installing now. Thanks faggot

I mean he could have had it not through Steam you know

go into settings and turn the speed up at max

>I mean he could have had it not through Steam you know
It never came out on consoles and only permavirgin neckbeard autists use GOG

Grim dawn is literally just Titan Quest except with upgraded and polished gameplay and worse art design.

Worse setting
Worse art style
Worse music
Worse storyline
Gameplay isn't much better

It boils down to which setting you prefer or better yet just fucking playt both

bland diablo clone with one of the most boring job systems ive ever seen

It wasn't released on Steam when it first came out, bro.

>retail
What the fuck are you, a grandpa? Kill yourself, literal permavirgin trash.

>mustard rice kids can't even remember that games used to come on discs and not just as leased downloads slaved to Valve's DRM schemes
Kek.

>one of the most boring job systems ive ever seen
Amazing.

>unironically announcing that you're old enough to remember but still playing videogames and going on Sup Forums
Consider suicide you fat old trash

But without decrepit grandpas like me, who'd be around to point out how fucking stupid you modern gamers are?

>fat
projecting much

Graphics-wise, Titan Quest actually held up really good for a 10 year old game. And thankfully WoW hadn't taken a firm dominating hold of the industry yet so you didn't have the WoW/Torchlight aesthetic ruining everything like it did with Diablo 3.

Like, compare TQ to PoE. TQ is actually crisp and varied colors, where PoE is just muddy brown and not really very remarkable wallowing in that sweet, sweet Diablo2 aesthetic.

Gameplay isn't that bad, but yeah it got dinged a lot for making you use something like 64 skills points into just pushing your Skill Mastery bar up which did nothing but provide passive stat bonuses instead of giving you wham, pow, something awesome happened!

>paying for abandonware

Fucking reddit level of stupidity.

You're the faggots playing spreadsheet simulators and juggling plastic obejcts like the dinosaurs you are, get cancer and die already.

abandonware isn't a real term
call it pirating because that's what it is

>ORIGINAL DEVELOPER IS STILL ALIVE
>THE GAME GOT MASSIVE UPDATE RECENTLY, COMPLETELY OVERHAULING AND REBALANCING IT
>ALL MONEY GOES TO SAID ORIGINAL DEV

>DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ABANDONWARE

At least we own our spreadsheet simulators instead of paying for a temporary license to play them.

>implying Steam will ever go down in my lifetime
>being this deluded
Also in few years I won't even care because I'm not an old loser like you and won't be playing with children toys anymore

But you will still be sperging out at stranger over the internet like the dumb kid you are.

Nigga kill yourself you're shameful

>>ORIGINAL DEVELOPER IS STILL ALIVE

except they're not, squirt.

ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED OR JUST PRETENDING?

WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK MADE GRIM DAWN?

AND UPDATED THIS RECENTLY?

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THIS FUCKING RETARDED?

xd

it's better than Grim Dawn

>Titan Quest
>Iron Lore

>Grim Dawn
>Crate Entertainment

ur a idort

They reformed as an independent studio after THQ died you retard, THQ owned the Iron Lore brand so they couldn't keep that.
Literally all that changed was the studio name.

...

xd

Shitpost some more you braindead imbecile

Why is everyone in this thread so mad?

...

I'm not mad, I'm just kind of confused and indifferent.
