POE is another that will fall into this category I think.
But Diablowizard knocked the nail on the head - all the games that have been successful have released well before May 15, just so people could have a decent ARPG to calm their appetite for 'loot' and hack'n'slashing.
I have enjoyed the POE Beta though - especially the 'no gold' mechanic, where currency is just based on trade.
Quite inventive.
Not just that but they have the best potion system ever. Better than having to pick up all those pots in D3. The only thing I could see, and hope, that D3 could implement with a patch, is how PoE hardcore characters don't necessarily perma-die, they just get perma-banned from hardcore. So you don't feel like all your time was wasted, and your death is taken out of the hardcore economy.
