I hate to potentially ruin non-single player games for you, but it's not that 70% of players can't achieve what you do in poe, it's that they're simply not even trying to.
I am not competitive in the slightest but it is interesting to see the trophy completion percentages. Kind of keeps things in perspective when you see a certain portion of a playerbase claim X or Y is braindead easy or dogshit boring -- then seeing only a relatively small percentage of the total playerbase has done it.

Something similar happens with PoE but when a dev says only 10% of all characters clear a Map, that has less impact due to alts, bots, etc. But 10% of all accounts? Much more absolute.

In short, I like to use these objective data to remind myself that the "average" gamer does exist, and he/she/they likely never say a single word on the internet about their experiences with said game.

You are above average just by being here. Revel in that...but remember what it means.

Okay, we can change one word which won't really make it less "sportsmanship" in terms of "competitive\achievement feel"

Instead of - "70% of players who can't do that what i did", we change to "70% of players who didn't do what i did"

But usually, who don't even try - they know they just can't, most of the time this is the case

Anyone here decided or thinking to get a PS5 for PoE2?


no. ps5 is ancient tech at this point, you WILL be disappointed with performance.

Just build a pc, most online stores offer some form of 0% credit nowadays.



Oh that's unfortunate, i got baited by the couch-play videos and saw it very cool

I have a good gaming PC yea, just thought of mixing my experience with PS5
