Why Diablo 4 is better than POE 2?
|
I think they're both pretty much on the same level of bad.
D4 is mostly skull-numbing boredom and PoE 2 is a constant rage of frustration. | |
|
Update:
Diablo 3 is much better that D4 and PoE2 Diablo 3 has amazing combat mechanic, fantastic META system |

What's next? Why Candy Crush is better than Minesweeper?

" Trolling aside, D3 isn't a bad game and it is definitely 10 times better than D4. But it is very far from D2/POE like in almost everything. It is just different. Last time I played it had best endgame ARPG multiplayer experience if played fairly without automatization (macros) because of how combat roles are assigned there (I heard it was WoW influenced but I don't care because it just worked). Donno, maybe D4 completely copied that, I dropped that shitty game long time ago. However POE2 has best multiplayer in the genre in the campaign, especially so in boss fights. After campaign though it becomes absolute horrible crap, so either only botters play it or RMT-traders or just strange people, because 95% of players go solo in the endgame.

Is it really better though? Or maybe you want to play PoE2 but shouldn't be. Diablo4 sounds like its where you need to be spending your time. Not all things you'll encounter in your life will be for you. You'll want things you can't have. You'll want things you don't deserve. You'll expect these things to bend and cater to you so you can enjoy them...but they won't.

right
GGG call these barriers setup for players as "Game Depth" |

" 1. This is your opinion, not a fact that can be argued. 2. Yes, leveling is faster in D4. Both games do not require a lvl 100 character to access end game so why does this matter. 3. Correct. No XP penalty in D4. This one doesnt make sense to me either with all the other death penalties, but refer to point 2 as to why it doesnt matter. 4. Correct. No death penalty in D4, but does it make it a better game? No stakes means no fun. (IMO) 5. Lag varies from player to player. D4 has lag. POE2 has lag. It varies from player to player, region to region. 6. Blizzard respects player time? Blizzard only respects player money. This is not a good take. 7. Loot "debuff" on death. Sucks, but it's the way the devs want it. See point 4. 8. Boss one shots happen in D4 if you aren't geared up. Bosses in D4 are incredibly easy compared to POE2. I dont see how this comparison makes one game better or worse. Just Different. 9. Armor and resists work in POE2. A better argument would be ES is too strong in POE2 but again what does that have to do with the way D4 plays? |

" 1. Candy crush offers over 1 million colors while Minesweeper is limited to 256. 2 Candy crush is not as punishing as Minesweeper. when you die it doesn't blow up your entire board and make you start over. 3. Candy Crush has a large mobile following while Minesweeper has been gatekept by the PC master race.... 4. Don't get me started on sound design.... |
