Excited for PoE 2?

Can’t wait
POE 2 will be designed as a console game. And some of the earlier footage, on closer inspection, already gave that suspicion.

Final sentence in the Official Console Deep Dive Gameplay Exclusive Trailer of Gamespot:
"Yeah I am really looking forward to converting everyone to use a controller when they are playing POE 2."

It is not the first game series to abandon its pc roots to go for console priority design.

So the huge excitement I had with POE 2 campaign when it was announced in 2019-2020, not much is left over.

Pretty much this.

I was really excited after the showcase at the original ExileCon. Everything they've showed since then has made me less hyped - especially all the additions to PoE 1 that is never going to happen, because all men are woring on refilling flasks at town, balancing the game around WASD and introducing forced skill combos.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
I mean, if PoE2 will be a next.gen gem im okay to buy PS5 and play it from there, mixing with gaming on PC

It kinda feels like some of the interest/excitement has changed for better or worse. Not necessarily because of the delay (although possibly). Seems like the general consensus is that it's becoming ruthless 2.0 which may or may not be for everyone.

So just wondering your guys thoughts


Because the game is completely different than PoE. This is not what the audience who love the complexity of PoE want.

Personally, I find a lot of the design decision in PoE to be nonsensical. Like the amount of garbage loot the entire game and the attendant wasted economy...

But that's just me.

I'm not interested in joining the console hoi polloi. But then, I lost pretty much all interest in PoE Too when GGG "changed their plans" about the game without bothering to inform us until a couple of years had passed. I'll stick around for PoE for as long as I can squeeze some enjoyment out of it. =9[.]9=

true
It’s a shame that the days are gone when the core strength of the PC as a games platform was adaptability and customisation; where the existence of games that use a controller (or a joystick or a steering wheel or whatever) was seen as exemplifying the platform. Then the 'gamer' identity came along and now they're just tribal symbols, my team is the mouse and your team is the controller rah rah rah.
