Remember when everyone said this game would destroy Blizzard?

Remember when everyone said this game would be the best ARPG of all time?

Remember when everyone said this game would be the best GAME of all time?

Remember when everyone who was even slightly critical of the game were labelled as Diablo 4 glazers?

Remember when literally all of you had these opinions?

So what happened? Guys?

Can someone explain why none of you play this steaming pile of dogshit that you used to hype so much?

The game isn't out yet and 0.2 was not very good. Besides, there was a ton of pushback against the game by PoE1 players before and after release due to it basically making PoE1 be on the same league for an entire year and get 0 endgame expansions for like 2-3 years.

Grim Dawn won
POE and Diablo are both games developed for the monetized RMT markets, not for player enjoyment.

Sadly, it is. They are treating it like PoE1. Big content updates only every 4 months instead of them just doing weekly/monthly patches to put in new content with occasional resets. It is basically released, just costs $25 or whatever.

even in its badly-balanced, less-than-half-finished, fucked-up current state, hell even in its millions-of-times-worse state 6 months ago, it utterly trounces d4 and really any other attempt at an ARPG from any company for the last 10 years.
the only arpg in that time frame (actually more like 12 years ago lol) that i can comfortably say is definitely better is its own prequel, which is only better because it's been in constant heavy development for, well, 12+ years. give poe2 just 1.2 years and it'll be so blindingly bright you won't even be capable of typing up a fake whine post about it

I've never understood what so many people like about PoE or a majority of Diablo clones anyway
>Game is literally just "Click-watch animation-win/lose based on stats"
>Stats are entirely dependent on RNG that is set up to function similar to a casino where you pay with your time instead of your money (sometimes both)
>All gameplay outside of that is literally just "Don't stand in the fire" with different shapes
>Multiplayer is basically just "Wait for the player with the worst stats" or "Try to follow the player with the best stats while not dying"
>The only other interactions between players is a chatbox and trading items

I'd argue that PoE is one of the worst games in the genre anyway since a game that doesn't stay fun once it stops getting content updates were always a bad game regardless of how popular it was at the time

I don't know. They went schizo with it. It's still better than D4 but the schizo design needs to stop.

They put in a bunch of mobs that can swarm and onehit you. And at the same time, you can only attack super slow. It's like your character is larping he's in a souls game while the bosses/monsters are still in an ARPG game.

It is not released but it is, anon. You ignored my entire post for an UHM ACKSHUALLY.
The game is being treated like PoE1 with leagues. It is not being treated like an early access game. It was only treated that way for the first 3-4 weeks when they killed multiple builds and everyone had a shitfit until they got bullied into stopping.

But they aren't. It's barely even got half the classes and weapons (and as a consequence skill gems) released. It's a bit silly to treat it like it's the final version of the game.

The game is not done but GGG is treating it like it is. You're not getting me. I am not saying it is finished, I am saying GGG to bullied into not actually doing sweeping changes at a reasonable pace by the community and so they adopted a 4 month cycle like PoE1. This also, by the way, DEFINITELY concludes this shit is not coming out in 2025 like they said it would.

D4 killed D4. PoE2 and LE just gained all of the refugees.
>>715379792
New LE and PoE2 content patches and new seasons both coming up at the end of August. Then TQ2. Nothing else coming. LE and PoE2 really need to coordinate their content releases so they stop coming out at the same time.

Had fun with the campaign, but the endgame is astonishingly bad. I'll pick it up again when they release the rest of the story.
Never played a Diablo game so I don't know how much better PoE is.

There is no legitimate reason to hate it other than it being unfinished, any reasonable point you want to make ends up at the same junction of it being unfinished. GGG have not handled it's release and updates well but the game itself does not merit the hate it receives.

People who spam low effort shitposting dislike PoE2 because of one of these simple reasons:
>It's not F2P currently
>Their PC can't run it
>They never had an interest in it and are simply part of the modern gaming hate mob that hate everything
>They are an ultra PoE addict that hates change

It's a cycle.

-New loot ARPG comes out.

-Nolifes beat every inch of content within a week.

-All the design flaws that don't make the game perpetually in a honeymoon phase are exposed.

-New game is announced and declared the potential messiah of the genre.
