I'll never play ever any GGG games from now.

This game has the worst game design I've ever seen.

I bought the game, played for 18 hours, and out of 100% of the game, I probably enjoyed only 10%. The rest was frustration, bad game design, slow pace, poor optimization, unnecessary bosses and some even tedious (like the one at the end of Act 2).

I use a simple analogy: Imagine Rockstar Games, the creators of GTA 5 (which is a masterpiece) focused on fun, map exploration, missions, and multiplayer. And in its sequel, GTA 6, the game turned into a soulless Souls-like with no fun and countless limitations. That would completely go against the original premise of the game, right? Well, that's exactly what POE 2 is.

And I’ll say more! If you are like me who paid for early access to a "new" game where there’s no way to trade within the game itself, and you need countless third-party apps just to have the "complete" game experience, congratz. Filters, build creator, macro for hideout-trade, macro to check item prices, TFT community for bulk trades... And it goes on, right? AHAHAHHA. [Removed by Support]

"unnecessary bosses"

xDDDDDDD

skill issue

btw GTA is overrated crap ^^

"poor optimization"

rofl upgrade your crap PC, I can play stady 60 fps and even 120 if I want ^^

It's fine no need to laugh at OP, this game is not for everyone and that's totally fine.

Yes, GGG please make this game like GTA. Brainless shooter with loots of half naked NPCs, and bosses that just run and drop top tier items.

ok but like all their post history even from POE1 is how they dont like the how the game does things..... Why would you buy something when you didn't like how the game worked before and than be surprised you still dont like it when it works the same way. It's like they're complaining about something they did to themselves. ya know the saying "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" comes to mind here.

POE2 starts too slow , everything is crawling.

That's wrong game design, new player just leave out of boredom.

Later with +35% run speed skill speed and attack speed this changes.

But yes the game is too slow until Endgame

The game was literally demo'd showing the slowed down campaign play. Speculation was, it was going the "Souls-like" route. To come and complain about that very thing, shows how little research people do before spending their money. OP never even made it to the point of the game where people rightfully (whether you agree with it or not) feel there was a bate and switch. Campaign and Atlas play like 2 entirely different games, and only one was demo'd before EA release.

First playthrough on a fresh start is probably overtuned right now for most people, was fun for me because 1000s of hours in poe1.

Game has to be hard later on in endgame, right now i feel like endgame is way too easy and act 1-3 normal on a completely fresh/ssf character is the hardest the game will ever be.

Wrong. The game is too fast at endgame. Endgame should be as slow as the campaign. If you want to zoom, there's already a game for that - PoE1.

We were promised a different game with PoE2. We don't need a second lightspeed garbage collection simulator.
