I was worried when I saw Wild Arms in a SE board since my gut reaction assumed SE bought the rights and was going to pull a Live a Live on us by rewriting the "problematic" parts of the story. Time to break out my wallet, I need some classic jrpgs in my life!

I bought Grim Dawn, yeah. Along with all the expansions. Then I watched a friend play and... it looked incredibly slow in the first half. The one thing I give credit to PoE for is the fact that you can play a levelling build with actual rotations and structure to it from the get-go. D3's levelling doesn't allow for that for example, and it looked like Grim Dawn doesn't either. Maybe I'm wrong, and I'm definitely not judging the game to be bad or anything. It's just the impressions I got from watching someone else play. The touches do sound great though.

Another problem, I installed it once and it refused to go past a black screen. No clue why.

I'll give you that it does start slow but just about every diablo clone I have played seem to start slow in the first 10 or so levels since a lot of the more useful skills for a class tend to be passives. If anything, the game suffers from not really telling you what two classes vibe with each other. If you are going solider/arcanist then you will have a bad time in later levels unless you gear up and have a build planned for that combination. That said, I love the game for allowing dualclasses that have unique names for each combination. As for the black screen issue, I remember that was a bad issue back in the day. Kind of stinks that it's still an issue, lol.
