That it is. My only gripe with it is that I've never been a fan of zombies and shit, so the setting is not up to my tastes, but everything else is great. But I do agree that I hope for a GD2 at some point.
My hope is that if and when it happens they will incorporate some of the GrimTools and other mods into the base game. Firstly, more storage. I've never understood why games who's main purpose is looting have such little storage forcing people to install third party mods to increase it. Secondly, I'd love to see a database feature in the game listing all monsters, weapons and equipment. Only, you can have it all greyed out at first. Once you kill a monster it becomes visible, and whatever loot it dropped is also visible. If more loot is in it's table, it remains hidden til dropped. Once you've run the game a few times you should have it mostly fleshed out, but if not, you know where to farm. I'd also love a system where if an item has a stat range, if you were to, say, hold CTRL it would show the stat range or even colorise the stat number, green being toward the high spectrum, yellow for mid-range, and red for low range. You could then easily see if the piece that dropped had shit stats or not.
Well, I guess one can dream...
