Game is still just meh

[Kixus]

Wow this game is still as bland as its always been. After getting to 85 in a day I just can't stomach this slop anymore. Looks and almost plays like a mobile game, except even some mobile games have better combat. There is no challenge here, zero decision making that impacts anything, no problem solving, affixes are uninteresting and the same all the time, item editor is a perfect fit.

Engine is janky, animations are awful, difficulty is non-existant (somehow way worse than before), sounds are also terrible. New zones are a laggy mess (especially that bridge thing). Weaver tree looks interesting at first until you realize this took them a year to make and some nodes are obviously not working (the one that gives normal monsters a chance to drop echos for example). No new affixes, tons of uniques dropping and those new weaver items. Playing just feel pointless when I know there is nothing to chase in terms of items or bosses (JuSt PlAy To oNE ThOUsAnD CorRuPTIoN BrO, JuSt FARm SomE 4Lp ITEmS bRo). What for exactly? I'd rather do the PoE2 campaign naked.

If I am looking for this type of gameplay I better go to D3 for a weekend.

Have fun tho.

Bruh. The Vision was correct. GGG was right all along.

Bait used to be believable.

The game is easy AF. That's what people want though. 1-2 buttons, all the loots, you can skip all the mobs run in a circle and kill a group then move on to the next crop for the locust to devour.

God forbid you get home from work, pour a drink and have some fun instead of putting your fingers in a hydraulic press every day right?

Try getting out of the tutorial next time chief

Jesus, you can’t go 30 minutes without trying to get my attention again or keep me out of your mouth? Are you that desperate to hold my pocket?

Leave me alone.

Another screeching entitled trollboi. Nothing to see here, carry on.

Well he got 645 hours out of the game so it can't be that bad. Also I'm guessing he's playing one of the top 3 builds in the game and knows exactly what he should get.
So it's pretty easy when you know the game.

I've having fun in the game and I can feel the progress. Still need to get several unique items.

I agree. I wish someone would come out with an ARPG similar to Grim Dawn or the original Torchlight 1 & 2. Both of those franchises had the right blend of difficulty, loot drops and build diversity I think.

Dunno if you knew, but there is a new Grim Dawn expansion coming this year.

I have been saying this unironically for about 10 years now. Chris was right to be worried that the game might turn to ♥♥♥♥ if you give players too much power. This has happened many times before in a lot of games and GGG knows this, but most players don't. Right now in PoE2 it is a little bit annoying because they have to readjust stuff until they get it right (and they haven't gotten it right yet), but if they manage to find the sweet spot for this then it's gonna be peak.

Cool story, bro. Next.

another company focusing on cash cowing their game via mtx instead of making a good product first...
