This game is genuinely not fun

[Notic]

No this is not a rage bait post, I genuinely do not understand the enjoyment for this game. I have tried many times to enjoy it, but just like any game that tries to do better than Diablo or be like Diablo it's weightless. What I mean is the audio is really bad, every ability just sounds weak. Abilities are not satisfying to use and lack a sense of power when you use them because the audio is just not good. Whoever at GGG is allergic to bass must have never heard thunder crack in real life. Why does lightning anything in this game sound like stepping on ice.

Cosmetically the game is embarrassing, why does everything I put on my character look like a glorified trash bag??? Diablo may have its issues but at least the base armor in the game looks pretty cool. The cosmetics in this game were obviously designed by someone that wears sneakers with straight cut jeans and a belt.

Why must I identify literally everything in the game, genuinely what purpose does this serve. I am drowning in knowledge tomes and they only cost 25 gold, why does this exist? On the topic of loot and inventory why on this planet is there not a sort button for your bags.

The story is... Forgettable.

If you don't follow a guide your character is bricked. Like of course there are systems that let you reset, but like any other Diablo clone they follow the same terrible system of requiring gold to do so. Why? Why is this a thing? Who does it effect by me spam resetting builds, it's stupid and you cannot convince me otherwise.

The visuals are good, I will give the game that, but visuals alone can only take a game so far. I genuinely believe the people that say this game is so good are overdosing on cope because of how disappointed they were with Diablo IV. I understand the game is Early Access, but EA games almost never get much better than their initial release, so do not hit me with that excuse because it is an awful one.

blink around! gogogo! mash buttons! one shot the boss or get one shotted! isn't it fun! slam orbs then sell the junk you created! crafting is great huh? now farm T1 maps for a white base item so you can slam it with an orb, get disappointed you wasted 2 hours finding that one white base only to orb it wiht 2.5 health regen! oh you didn't want that on your bow? well farm another white base in another 3 hours and try again! fun fun! oh wowwie a RARE chest... and I got a blue hammer, a flask and 10 gold YAY! im having fun! Lets level up our gear! oh wait i only have enough for 2 pieces of gear that i might replace, how about flasks or gems?! hmm no upgrade items there either, I better do a T1 "map", stand a screen away so i don't get one shotted and clear it in 20 minutes, maybe ill find a flask bulb or something. Which way to the item board or auction house?

POE 2 endgame: the post

The game is also genuinely not even fully released yet. A huge portion of content is still coming. 6 new classes, 12 new ascendencies, new weapon times, new maps, new bosses, more acts, systems, fixes, new qol updates, new leagues and so on.

You are playing a pretty bare bones version of the game compared to what has yet to be released.

Not to mention all the things that will be added after the game is fully released.

If you don't like it now, stop playing and try it every now and again when new content has been added and see if your opinion changes. If not, there are millions of other games you can play :-)

No one cares if you do or do not like it why did u make a post?

Then don't play it.

The player/sales numbers and reviews say otherwise

[DreadLordAvatar]

No doubt. A role playing walking simulator. Boring huge maps, boring campaign, boring loot, boring skills. Boring design.

Come back in a few months, OP. Games in super early access.

im the complete opposite and ill try to help you understand why some enjoy this game

1. audio sucks, abilities sound weak
i dont use headphones, so i dont notice this issue. i think a lot of people that play aarpgs are primarily only interested in how the complex the systems are and how they interact with loot

2. cosmetics visually trash
it seems there arent too many skins out yet, so maybe dont judge too soon. although i dont really like them that much also, mainly bcs they are too expensive to me, but sets do offer individual customization if one were to buy multiple sets to pair different pieces

3. identify purpose? too much tomes, sort?
a) im perceiving you meant wisdom scrolls for IDing. i believe it adds a dopamine hit to people that get to reveal an items potential. this one might also just be a nostalgic or a repeating theme in these games as well
b) the only reason u would want scrolls is to ID during maps, i would assume most high tier players dont pick it up anymore and eventually need to buy it
c) a sort button would be nice, sure. it shouldnt be a deal breaker for playing tho

4. story "forgettable"
the story had cinematics, character development through continuous dialogue increases with each quest complete, it wasnt too edgy, and the bosses tracked with the zones and story nicely. the zones guided you to new areas quickly so that you could experience escape being hung to later going back and fighting your way to kill the count who tried to have you put to death, then witnessing the slaves pulling the caravan and its so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up but you get told they were bad people so i guess its kinda okay lol, and then you get toward the end, and you're going back in time to fight doryani but he ends up teaming up with you to start the portal system (maps). seems pretty awesome to me

5. needs guide for success, brick build, unable to afford respec
solid point, and i agree. its hard for new players to try new things with the current system and overall get punished for attempting build diversity. copying and following someone else just doesnt seem fun and feels very limiting, and its more enjoyable coming up with your own build idea instead

Can't wait to replay the ~50 hour campaign using 6 new classes and 12 new ascendencies to do "Kill all rare monsters" from T1 to T18 maps as the reward for repeating pointless campaign. How does having 10000 classes change the core rng nothingness of PoE 2 on release?

how they interact with loot

Random prefix, random suffix, random prefix, random suffix, random vaal corruption. Trash. Next interaction!

the game is about gaining power through dropped loot. if you dont like that concept, aarpgs might not be for you. probably best to see how they're going to implement more ways to get better loot

Are you the boss of reading comprehension? What will you do with that dropped loot? Kill more rare mobs 1 second faster?

ngl, bro is spitting facts on the audio. My lightning arrow sounds like a wet noodle but it seems to wipe the entire screen of mobs. It's very off putting indeed. But I wouldn't say the game isn't fun. The endgame is genuinely boring though
