[The_Unchosen_One]

I wanna love these games. I really really do. But I hate the gameplay in Diablo and this looks much the same. I think I just have to accept that these games aren't for me. But I hate it, because from the outside looking in, it looks great and like something you could really sink your teeth into. But I just can't get past the gameplay. It just looks.....spammy. Like a lot of shyt going on on screen, but not a lot actually happening.

I’ve tried nearly every ARPG on the market and this is the only one that clicked for me.

i might cop early access…the idea that its a little more soulsy/difficult intrigues me. The thing I’m not too fond of with diablo is how simple it is.

First Path of Exile 2 Review:



-Campaign about 35-40 hours

-"Dark Souls of ARGPs" another reviewer thought the same thing

-No difficulty options

-No easy game

-Lots of challenging boss fights

-Feels so rewarding to beat them

-Dark Souls and Elden Ring feeling

-Maps are astronomically large (1 h from side to side)

-Maps feel a little bit empty in terms of events

-Scratched the tiniest surface of the game after 40 hours

-Great sense of discovery (mechanics, builds and lore)

-Feels like 3 games into one

-Almost limitless combinations of builds

-Lot easier to respec your skills

-50-100 changes was no problem

-Outstanding dark theme art direction

-Clearly inspired by Diablo 2

-Details on skill effects and boss designs are the best in the industry in the ARPG genre

-Blown away by the amount of detail

-Most dynamic combat in an ARPG

-Switch to controller was a revelation

-Feels like a game that was designed for controller first

-Plays even better than Diablo 4 with a controller

-Potential to be the alltime king of the genre

-Some bugs and crashes occurred

-Strong believe that the developers will join the annals of greatness alongside Larian Studios and FromSoftware

I would describe Diablo as the ARPG for casuals whereas PoE is the ARPG for the hard-core. I don't know if you play hard-core mode in ARPGs but in PoE, it's one of the most intense feelings. Especially when it comes to fighting bosses. One of the best gaming experiences ever and I have no doubt PoE 2 will deliver the same.

Hard to play as a non Black character these days but maybe I'll go Asian (Monk) and call it a day

Its the whole rush of feeling like a gawd . ARPGs alone give you that sense of power once you get a proper build. Also, its podcast background gaming. Throw on some podcasts and grind to the heavens, trying to level up and get a proper build that works for the endgame.

Word?

I said non-Black, all my Diablo IV characters (Sans my barbarian PAWG) is rockin dreadlocks or a fade
I prefer these days to play as a Black character, dunno what it is but I need a character that looks more like me
