Is Path of Exile diverse enough to take the ARPG crown away from the long-running Blizzard game Diablo III?
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Today, in about four hours, players of Grinding Gear Games’ Path of Exile will start exploring the game’s next content update, Trial of the Ancestors.
Today Grinding Gear Games is hosting its Exilecon event, and revealed news and gameplay for Path of Exile 2 and its predecessor.
So happy we have both diablo and PoE competing against eachother. D4 is a good game, but PoE2 has really stepped it up further. Gaming is awesome these days. 😊
I hope they make a good controller support for PC now that there are lots of handheld PC on the market. PoE 1 controller support is a pain in the arse to play with.
Are you really trying to say that people buying the game means people are loving the game?
Have to buy it to try it and right now D4 is one steaming dumpster fire with a sharply declining playerbase.
A beta starting in a whole year is certainly going to affect Diablo 4 oh so gravely. I can see Blizzard shaking in their boots already 😂😂😂
fsfsxii: I'll tell you what's not a good look buddy. Always trying to turn something into a hostile competition, like a game has to kill another when they can easily coexist in the same market.
Also, saying something as mind-bogglingly inane as a beta happening in literally a year being the "final nail in the coffin" of a game that's out now isn't a great look either, Same as defending that kind of silly take. 😂
i don't care for either titles, but why would you be so pressed anyway if you weren't shilling so hard for a company known for sexual harrassment? very gross.
@fsfsxii: I don't need to be "pressed" to point it out when someone says something absolutely inane, just like you just did.
What the heck does what you mention have to do with a discussion about two action RPGs? Please go touch grass.
Nioh turned out to be a pretty damn good looter. It has no where near the content, but it has quite a bit, as you can easily sink a few hundred hours into it. It also has the Souls-like combat system which makes it quite challenging.
PoE is a damn good game though, and these games.lend themselves well to the f2p model, as long as content continuously arrives in a timely manner. Diablo is a looter, but not held to the same scheduling.
POE is not as good as Diablo 3.
Diablo 3 is best in category.
Diablo III is god-like... Path of Exile is garbage.
Stop posting stupid stories made to attract attention.
It is not so hard.
