General Discussion - PoE gets nod in 15 overlooked RPGs list at PC Gamer - Forum

" TheWretch wrote: " Path of Exile A gritty, deep action-RPG that's free-to-play. The good sort of free to play, which only charges money for cosmetic effects. There are multiple acts swarming with creatures to smash, but the real star is the remarkable progression system, which lets you tailor your hero's aptitude using a vast board of interlinked skill nodes. A rigorous gem-slotting system adds further gear customisation and the classes boast significantly different skillsets. It’s brilliant if you love theorycrafting and playing with dense character-building systems. http://www.pcgamer.com/15-overlooked-rpgs-that-are-worth-playing-today/ I love the last sentence of this little review. "It's ... if". Two little words. So much wisdom. The Sirus fight is a disgrace.	Posted by ghamadvar on May 22, 2015, 7:12:16 AM Quote this Post
I feel that it felt out of place on this list. "Worth playing today" sounds as though they are old games no longer in development which of course, does not hold true for PoE. For instance one may say that FF7 is still worth playing today. With the game still being updated constantly, it really doesn't fit with the rest of these games.

I agree, all those game have very little in common, except maybe that they are not AAA games. PoE is far beyond most of those games in term of scope, engine, art, updates, well... a lot of things, and I wouldn't consider PoE overlooked, many people stick to it, and the player base isn't that small. I don't find this article to be really pertinent.	Posted by EnafAequi on May 22, 2015, 9:22:40 AM Quote this Post
Wow.. where did PC-Gamer get this view: If we had that kind of perspective (sort of an over the shoulder 3rd person view) that would really make playing very cool. Obviously it's a publicity picture and we don't get anything like that playing PoE. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..." Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

I am also stoked they included Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

Not this angle with this distance so guess what who delivered the material	Posted by Hilbert on May 23, 2015, 12:59:25 AM Quote this Post
it's a weird mess of a list honestly. Path Of Exile, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, and Mount & Blade: Warband alongside... "Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden" ??? Alva: I'm sweating like a hog in heat Shadow: That was fun	Posted by johnKeys on May 23, 2015, 1:01:44 AM Quote this Post

Hey, it's good. In a quirky kind of way. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero.

**Yes, that pose is a badass screenshot and digital art.. You can play zoomed from that view, but its more of a handicap...I would like it to be utilized also but maybe it would be to much. Congrats GGG <3	Posted by neonive on May 23, 2015, 3:05:19 AM Quote this Post
