It's the same game minus the Berserk set. I doubt anyone was actually using the Berserk set but it seems to be a very tempting reason to complain for a lot of people.

There are some minor changes in gameplay. I noticed Daimon seems to have more defense and is harder to Stagger (playing in HM). Wight's Unholy Anodyne (the red globe thing) will damage the Arisen and the pawns if you go through it. Nothing major - just minor things here and there. I did find however refreshing the challenge of going through the game having no access to high level gear and no maxed alts to pass items or knowledge to. Granted you can do this by creating a new GT on your console.

So it's nothing new, just more of the same.
