I am out. I want to like it so much - but it's just too hard to be fun.
|
Put to one side the endless crashes. It's just too hard for me anyway. I am not a tryhard, just a guy who wants a fun game. This is not it.
I am giving up on a game for the first time in a long while. Dying over and over to the same boss over and over is just not a good use of my time. Congrats to those who are enjoying it - can't see how GGG are going to make money on this - the playerbase will just die out in the next two weeks. Last bumped on Dec 7, 2024, 9:22:03 PM

It's terrible. To even call it a dumpster fire would be disrespectful to a dumpster fire. Because at least with a dumpster fire, if you put the fire out, there might be something salvageable.
Every system in PoE2 is inferior to PoE1. So it's no surprise the core gameplay is terrible in comparison. So the game essentially bubbles down to this: 1) Novelty of first time boss clears 2) Novelty of pretty graphics This is why we see such a huge influx of... ... 'genius' IQ people praising the game right now. These are the same 'genius' people that get bored of the new hot game in 2 weeks and quit forever. The game is terrible once you basically sit down and do the math. This isn't even mentioning the TERRIBLE PC PERFORMANCE. My GPU can run other games on ultra but I have this game on all settings lowest and my GPU is at 89 degrees. Like.. a few more degrees and my PC is getting damaged or bricked, and these are the first level areas. You can literally see with the graphics that maps are loaded with insane amounts of reflections, details, etc. There is currently a thread with like 40 PAGES of people saying it's bricking and freezing their PCs. This was a cash grab carpet pull game. Last edited by FaZe_Midian#2894 on Dec 7, 2024, 6:09:03 PM

" This is not fair! It's just an EA version of the game. You may not like it but to call it a "cash grab carpet pull game" is completely crazy. Pretty sure they had/have a vision that is just different from what a lot of players want but not every game has to be for everyone. German saying: Schönheit und Funktionalität in Sekundenschnelle zu ruinieren, ist dem wahren Dilettanten keine Herausforderung!

" We've seen this same vision before, it was called Ruthless and the vast majority of the playerbase hated it. Honestly the only thing they've gotten right in PoE2 is the change to the Gem Link system (though a limit of one support per character is questionable at best), and the boss fights. Simply put, Wheres the Loot? | |
" im with you on this. i play diablo likes for the loot i love the new gem system tho id also say the pacing of the game is way to slow for hack and slash diablo like genere of game. imo it shouldnt take 3+ hrs to get through an act in this genre right now the game is to much like a souls like game or even no rest for the wicked.

In act 3 I got just one scroll of wisdom and 150 gold from rare monster, I got only exalt and regals orbs in act 1.
Why the game hate me? |

They need to buff item drops. Killed way too many bosses than I should need to and still don't have proper gear.

Mobs feel so tanky and bosses take so long to kill. And for what? 40 gold and 2 blues. I'm good. I'll wait for patch
|

" 100% agree the core of this genre is slay mobs get loot. theres next to no loot dropping |
|
" You could kinda see this coming from a mile away tho considering how bad some of the later POE 1 leagues have run. Like somehow that old game has gotten 10x more demanding in recent years. I've never liked this engine and this EA release just reinforces that opinion for me Ninja.
