Path of Exile 2 Early Access: More end-game content than most game's full release (EGS/Steam/Xbox S&X /PS5)
- Thread starter Pull Up the Roots
- Start date
D4 at launch was still a full campaign. And 2.5X the price.
I wouldn't even compare it, because the campaign just doesn't have the same production value, voice work, writing in the slightest.
I know D4 endgame got shyt on a lot, but D4 core experience is really fantastic and pushes what an ARPG narrative can do.
PoE2 has excellent combat, and mechanics that is objectively superior to D4.
And that is really where the road ends with that.
I will give PoE2 huge credit for being way more accessible than PoE1. Game is fun and easy to just dig into it.

I don't play ARPGs for story/campaign so for me, PoE 2 is definitively better than D4. Also Nightmare Dungeons are awful so that drops D4 significantly for me.
Hmmm, I fukkin LOVE Diablo's campaigns.
campaign is cool and all but I doubt most die hards for this genre really care too much about that shyt lol
Especially in a Free To Play format. It's all about the grind and no lifing shyt
I played PoE for on and off for 10 years and still don’t really know the story. Same with Grim Dawn, Torchlight, etc
Action RPGs are about builds and loot for me.
yup I won't say i'm a huge diehard of the genre but I put several hundred hours into d4 and its fun but it becomes a really hollow boring experience endgame. simply not enough cool builds for each class.
Sadest fukking skill tree that I ever seen.
Grim Dawn story is actually pretty fun. Last Epoch story isn't good. It's in the same vein of PoE1. Very run of the mill.I played PoE for on and off for 10 years and still don’t really know the story. Same with Grim Dawn, Torchlight, etc

Just played POE for an hour for the first time. Died more times in that short time than in 40+ hours of DAV, Standard/Normal default lvl for both. This and my distaste for soulslike games has solidified my status as a casual-need-to-get-gud gamer. 
This is the main diff from PoE to PoE 2. There are skill barriers to go along with level/gear barriersJust played POE for an hour for the first time.

PoE didn’t have skill checks until you get to map bosses.

Rocking a Sorceress focused on Flame Wall and melting everything like butter
