The hard truth about Path of Exile 2 and modern gaming in general
|
Not every game needs to be for every person. You buying a game does not mean they must cater to you. You being a long time player does not mean the game has to cater to you either. You spending money does not mean the game has to cater to you. I use to love world of warcraft. It stopped being fun so I moved on. For awhile I was upset, I made rage posts, I got upset in general chat. The truth is the game is made for someone else now and that is fine, we have games coming out every single day and ARPG's alone have had multiple releases in the last year. If a game is for everyone its actually for no one and that approach by game developers ( to make as many people play and thus siphon as much money as possible) is the driving reason why games are bland, stale, and seemingly "for no one"
Many of you will look back on these posts and feel incredible shame. You can delete them and most of them will be forgotten but you know that you lost control of your emotions over a video game that isn't scheduled to be fully released for at LEAST 6 months. Path of exile 1 is still here, diablo 4 is still here, last epoch is around. Hell, you can play hero siege but the truth is you're all here for a reason and that is because GGG has impressed you in some way or another. Relax, take a chill pill, go play another game or better yet take a break from games entirely. Cheers Last bumped on Dec 13, 2024, 3:48:47 AM

So communicate that your are doing a Ruthless mode game that has nothing to do with PoE 1.
I feel betrayed and fooled by GGG. |

You hear what you want to hear. And believe in what you want to believe. Many people thought that simplifying things means the game would be easier. "Casual-friendly", whatever that means. They got it in their heads that they can play with one hand while scrolling through their phone with the other and watching a movie on their second monitor.

" every single time I saw John Rodgers in a video he has said over and over this is going to be a much harder game without the projectile spam builds and so on. You either did not watch these or do not remember. Go take a look back at every interview he's done on the topic. |

" i don't get this. people seem to not be able to realise that this is not poe 1. this game is different from poe 1, and they've made that pretty clear ever since they started showing and talking more about it. |

I dont think its harder. Any boss i beat is harder than any poe uber boss.
I think the game is slow and boring, NOT HARD, just slow and boring |

" You are completely right but ignoring their long time player base will do GGG no good in the long term. I'm not a big spender, I typically spend 50 euro per year, but I won't throw them any more money if the money goes to a game I don't want to play. You have to understand that 5 years ago PoE2 was announced as an update to the base game: better graphics, new ascendancies... at that point nothing was said about it being a different type of game. What we got is something a lot of us really don't like, so yea, we are gonna be vocal about it on the feedback forum. |

"I sure hope ggg follows your advice, then when they have to explain to tencent how they sold a million copies and cant even afford to keep the servers up they can say "well this guy on the forums said to cater a game to 15 terminally online neckbeards". |

" then call it Rutless II, damn it !!!! |
