Is it better than diablo 4?

[Lucifer_]

Looking for objective answers because d4+voh bundle is on sale too. Which one is better and why?

I haven't played PoE before but played a decent amount of d4 and liked it for the most part.
Also is it even worth to buy this or wait for f2p?

No. End of Story. POE2 is good, but not as good as D4.

D4 is more graphically stunning.
D4 has actual endgame.
D4 has a less frustrating inventory management.
D4 has a stronger dev team when it comes to content updates.
I could go on, but the tears from the fan boys are flowing so i'll show Mercy.

it's different game. u want to chill go D4, u want some challenge go poe 2. i would take it on EA if u need a game to play, for my part i really enjoy it and don't regret a single instant.

Diablo 4 has an infantile level of challenge, although it looks very good and runs very smoothly. I played the demo for 20 levels, just by holding down the right mouse button and waving the cursor over mobs. No risk of my character dying whatsoever. The mobs burst like balloons and drop sackfuls of loot.

PoE 2 is the opposite, because loot is scarce, mobs are tough early on and dying is common. A sizeable number of people think it's a bit too hard, whilst I find it an interesting challenge, personally, but that's just me. While I like PoE 2 a lot, I would probably say wait until it goes free to play in a few months.

Diablo 4 is your best bet.

PoE 2 just started early access and is missing half the classes, half the skills, half the content, etc.

I enjoy both for very different reasons, but Diablo 4 is complete while PoE is still in testing.

There is no objective answer other than your own opinion, poe2 will most likely be rough start for a D4 player but who knows. You can always play <2h and refund if you don't like it or try poe1 first instead.
Can't really recommend D4 VoH though because it is probably the weakest expansion Blizzard has ever released.

Lack of challenge was my main issue with d4. after a point it is just mindless clicking

This

I’ll give pie 2 this much tho, could do a lot worse too for $30.

But ya it’s pretty barebones EA, with a lot of issues devs need address, for sake your money I’d highly recommend d4 as well. Don’t forget too, Poe 2 gonna be free to play eventually, so like wait for better version costs you nothing right.

Everyone knows D4 is hot garbage. Even with all its early access problems POE2 is still better than D4. In fact the only good Diablo game is D2

lol ooo poor widdle fanboys getting all worked up now. It’s not even remotely close to D4 yet kiddo, but don’t let me stop you mindlessly grinding out the singular end game activity there is.

Oh and for what worth op, I am not a d4 fanboy, game has its own issues, but overall have had hours fun solo and coop with it, tons of content, graphics make this game look like from 2017, etc etc. it is a solid Arpg for the money especially on sale and the expansion is a good addition. Poe 2 isnt worst thing ever but it is rough af and I cannot in good conscience recommend spending your money on it vs d4.

[Rumple]

Get both, but D4 is better in my opinion. If I knew 2 weeks ago what I know now I wouldn't have paid for early access and would have waited for the free polished version. Still had a lot of fun in POE2 though

[VirtualLegend]

d4 < poe its will always be like that....... blizzard just want to melt your money nothing else......

[Wobble]

I think D4 is better at this point. POE2 is same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as POE1 with graphic HD upgrade. They havent even managed to solve their technical problems that literally carry over from POE1 and on top of that -due to improved graphics some new spectacular crashes are introduced as well :)

TLDR - if you want to play ARPG at this point in time - play D4. Check back with this game in 2-5 years.
