I've heard good things about this but not much else. Thinking about grabbing it. What ARPG would be the best to compare it to?

Both. Seriously. I love both of them. Haven't quite finished either for some reason. Got super far in both.

Fuck how do I get this?
I have steam versions.
I personally prefer Titan Quest, Path of Exile, D2, and D3 over Grim Dawn.
Something didn't capture me with Grim Dawn, not sure what it was.
Oh it's already there in my library, was looking only at favourites, sweet

Awesome. I didn't own this on Steam, but $5 easily worth it.

Just search "Titan Quest" in your Steam library and the anniversary edition should be in there.

Yea I just noticed thanks, 5 GB pretty big download but gonna be schweet.
I was playing Immortal Throne a few months back with camera mod, I want to see how this compares with all the updates.
With how crappy Grim Dawn runs I feel like I should just replay Titan Quest again, it's so damn good.
Edit: Was the original Titan Quest always split between Titan Quest and Immortal Throne as two separate installs like that? Pretty sure it used to be Titan Quest Gold, so I went from one TQ entry to 3 :lol.
Also to speak a bit about Titan Quest itself, it's absolutely fantastic, it looks great even by todays standards, I feel, Ancient Greece is a cool setting and multi-classing is great fun, it also has a fantastic soundtrack. I wonder which of the two main themes they went for in Anniversary, both vanilla and Immortal Throne have great main menu tracks

Some of the changelog for the patch is insane;
This is a GIGANTIC patch. They really did amazing work here. Buy the game if you haven't.
LOL
Huh.
No wonder it sucked so much shit before. lol

Truly the most important change.
(EDIT: I just loaded up a save in vanilla TQ and these weren't as bad I as remembered. For some reason, I was thinking of the goblins in Torchlight II. Now those were damn annoying.)
But seriously, the fact that this game got such an extensive and much needed patch this many years later is blowing my mind. I'm no expert on the game, but it does appear way more balanced now.

Just checked my steam library. Nothing beats getting it for free.

If you install just Immortal Throne it includes all of the original TQ and the expansion content.
And yes TQ is the best shit. Just less known because it's not called Diablo.
This and Diablo 2 are still the gold standard of these games imo.

So this will work on Windows 10 now? When I tried to play the demo a few months ago, it kept crashing
Seriously, I cannot understate how good the soundtrack is
Yeah I realised that when I compared the amount of time played between the two

Oh man, I hope all the Satyrs still all scream at the same time when you kill them, feels so good when you get 5+ in one blast.
Works flawlessly on Anniversary patch.

I wont be able to add my retail version to steam, will I? Oh well, its $5
I just remembered Paul told me that at one point they had hired this big Hollywood screenwriter (responsible for Troy or Gladiator or something like that) in charge of Titan Quest's story, but the script he produced was fuck awful, so they scrapped it and went with their own thing.
Tried the Steam version to see if I liked the game and crashed hard on my Windows 10 machine
Will wait on the confirmation for win10 compatibility before shelling out the whopping $6.50 CAN lol
I thought the same, click on the "play now" button instead of "add to cart".
Can't speak for anyone else but I played the original Titan Quest Steam version on Win10 without any major issues for a few hours.
Pretty damn amazing they are giving this away for free, I must say I'm impressed with the year-long support this game is getting. Kudos to them.
Unlike some 60€ games that get released on Steam, even the original steam version supported arbitrary resolutions when I tried it, so I'd be surprised if this version would lack support
Downloading when I get home, hoping to see 1440p support but if it's only doing 1080p I don't care!

Do saves from the older versions (on the same machine) carry over into the new version's install automatically?
Ok I'll check at home. I was looking at my profile on the steam web page.
In my profile, it is not in my library. Weird. I see the other two games.

Such an amazing game. I played it for months back in the days. Already 10 years ago. Wow. I never bought it on steam, still used my retail copy. But 4,99€ is a fair price for so much effort. Instant buy for me.
What edit version? The german version was always uncensored.
Nordic doing wonderful things with all the stuff they bought so far.
edit: finally a use for that old steam key from the humble thq bundle which I never redeemed because it was the edited German version - now magically transformed into TQ Anniversary Edition!

Grim Dawn is the better game but Titan Quest has the better setting.
I recommend both.
