Detailed overview of Diablo 3 vs. Path of Exile
" is it D3 or D3:RoS ? do I get this high level content in my vanilla game or do I need to shell out another 40 bucks ? something tells me that my vanilla copy is very obsolete right now. |

" My point is that your opinion of what were great games may not be in line with what was in general considered to be great games during those times. The first hitman game is not universally considered to be a great game, unlike Super Mario Bros which was released long before that game. A game that is a PC game that was universally praised and that was released close to when " Hitman: Codename 47" was released: Heroes of Might Magic III was also a very smooth experience.

" Frankly I am glad that comment got removed, it was pretty much the stupidest thing I have ever posted on this forum and that is saying something looking at my post history :) Anyways, it's not an objective opinion that he has written - it is a subjective one, so you can't really argue the toss. It's not like he has presented anything that isn't factual. I'm still pretty confident that I would enjoy POE more than D3, though, given my experiences. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years. Best of luck in the future! Последняя редакция: CaptainWaffleIron#2395. Время: 22 февр. 2015 г., 23:31:43

" When people talk about D3, it is in almost all cases refering to D3:RoS. This message was delivered by GGG defence force.

Some points of disagreement with things like "nostalgia" being a key point in an argument, but whatever.
I find it more enjoyable an Indie company has a multi-million dollar company tripping in their high heels. Blizzards also had well over double the time GGG has to perfect the formula and still seems to be struggling with staying on top. |

"you are now confusing what my point is about I couldnt give less fucks what is 'considered' a great game by many. Im not a sheep nor will I ever be. game taste is subjective, and if anyone goes by what game is 'universally praised' over their taste, they're a fucking sheep. now, Im not trying to say great games (universally praised) are bugged, or a game that is bugged is necessarily a great game (universally praised) I said some of the greatest game IVE PLAYED, were full with bugs. bugs that impeded my progress, just as death penalty does on desync in PoE. instead of whining like a little witch I manned up and overcame them. because I never thought companies owed me jack shit. bugs happen. I write software. no one writes defect-free software, I guarantee you. finally, I was a big HOMM player back in the day, and maybe you can guess it, but HOMM4 is the best HoMM to me. HoMM3 was basically a polished HoMM2 with very few new ideas. HoMM4 was a complete game-changer and for someone who enjoys RPGs it made for much better solo custom mapping. yet HoMM4 was filled with bugs and awful, unfinished, nonexisting AI. that doesnt stop it from being my favorite in the series, over the uber-polished HOMM3 and armageddons blade, which many consider the best in the series. this is also what blizzard likes to do- polish to death. starcraft 2 is basically starcraft with new graphics and polished to death. anyway, Im saying that the obsession with the sterile, especially now is bordering on ridiculous. people would rather not eat tasty delicious food in a restaurant if they found a hair in it. I would. I appreciate the meat of things, not the bullshit around it. I wont quit going somewhere because of bad customer service or wont quit using a program I like even if its somewhat buggy. when I play a game, a great game wont be held back by technical glitches or bugs. unless its fatal (and Ill wait for patch then). separate the flies from the meat patties- bugs are one thing, game another. |

"if you're referring to nostalgia in my argument, I can assure you it has little to do with anything there are still games coming out that preserve that feel of the 90s, both being imperfectly polished and great idea-wise. most of them, sadly, are released by indie companies or are kickstarted projects, because, in part, big game companies care way too much about polish, sterility and stability (didnt an assassin creed game have some funny visual bugs and they gave FREE copy of another game to those who bought that yawnstipating game ?) as opposed to bold new ideas and risk. people nowadays also are less likely to spend time when stuck in a game. theyd rather play another game or cheat when confronted with a challenge, either a difficulty challenge or a technical challenge. you can download another game in a matter of seconds or look at a guide in a matter of milliseconds gone are the days where you dont have access to guides and are playing nothing but wizardry iv for 5 months to beat it without hints.

I've played D3. For maybe 30 play hours total. I played D2 and D1 for probably thousands of hours though. Blizzard makes great games. So I have to assume that D3 is a great game. Although I admit that I haven't played it enough to conclude that on my own for sure. The point being that the review looks reasonable to me. I love PoE and have played many hours. One thing that is mentioned in the comparison/review that I'm sure is true is that D3 doesn't have the frustration and irritation associated with it like PoE does.
The one thing in this thread that I really agree with is the statement that GGG should be proud to be compared so favorably to the mega giant Diablo game! Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

"oh it surely did, when d3 was first released. inferno starting with act 2 was no joke and for a company that prides itself with releasing polished games, that game in its initial state was far less polished than vanilla d2. |
