Is Elon right?

[Mister Shan]

Elon Musk said this game is Elden Ring meets Diablo. If that's true, that's the best game ever made. Does the combat feel as good in a Dark Souls way? Like does every hit slap and feel heavy?

[FhqwhTODD]

The hits from bosses do slap a lot.

If Elon bought GGG could be a good a game, but until they maintain this crap trade system i wont play anymore, PoE 1 was 80% of time trading and 20% playing or crafting maps

fr, bro chooses to do the boring stuff and then complains the amount of boring stuff is reduced in sequel

[CyberDown]

I dont think its a bad thing, but the games campaign seems to be much more focused on bosses with real mechanics.

Sometimes that boss might counter your build and thats where a lot of complaints are.


Also its not as easy to zoom zoom everything. Granted weve not seen endgame power.

[onlywar]

slow, clunky, tedious and overrated. yep think elon might have finally said something correct

[Thel]

In theory, it's that yea. But the combat is way too slow and sloppy to be as responsive as Diablo. And to count as 'Elden Ring' the combat would need to be precise and thoughtful where skill matters in some way. it's not that either. Game has tons of potential and the class/skill system is outstanding. But the combat doesn't match the comparison of Elden Ring/Diablo.

I hate Blizzard as much as the next guy, but hating McDonalds doesn't suddenly make Wendy's the best thing ever. The tribalism in gaming is wild.

I think GGG is onto something in that the classes/abilities/endgame/etc all feel wonderful. But it needs more tuning and polish to be a GOTY level experience. Hopefully the try-hards won't alienate the feedback so GGG can make meaningful changes and retain a healthy player base and be financially successful for years to come off POE2.

[TeknoBug]

I wouldn't listen to Elon.

[i_kill_pikachus]

Yes, it is. The combat is designed to be extremely slow, and bosses are "roll for ten seconds straight, attack once for 2% of their HP, lather and repeat for several minutes."

This game is very much not PoE 2, in the sense of playing like PoE 1, and is rather just an isometric Soulslike. Some people like that, some people don't, but that absolutely is what it's going for.

They're desperately trying to though. This community is EXTREMELY hostile to feedback.

[sansee]

The game is still in EA, but in essence, yes.

And no, the game isn't slow as in Souls/Elden ring game. I remember Diablo 1 being slower.

Yea, it's wild. I understand where it comes from. It's not that they want everyone to enjoy the game or that badly tuned boss experiences somehow make a good game. What the small minority of toxic people want is to attain things others cannot. That's what they're protecting. There's no issue making difficulty levels/tiers etc. It does nothing to those in the toughest content. Those against the change don't feel good for succeeding in difficult challenges. They feel good in that others fail.

Diablo after 2 is trash fest!
so i hope this one not meets 3 or 4.
Elden Boring....

So POE is nothing like these games, is way way better.
Whos elon?
