Honest review right?

Well, almost everybody is able to drive a car without being an "hardcore" player, but try to figure out how to drive one without a "tutorial".

Game is not that hard, pretending that you have to not have a tutorial to have an hardcore game is ilarious. The guy probably isn't the sharpest tool in the box, but he just downloaded the game and tried to steps, it's not mandatory to fall in love with POE before knowing the game, and if you just play a clunky lvl 1 char without any clue in game about how to do stuff. you don't even understand how complex and fun the game can be, you just get pissed.

Just blame the lagfest perandus league, not the overall poe game, which has a ok difficulty progression. I mean, if he had created his char in standard, his review would have been different.

This is the review of a new player encountering perandus rape pack in the first area. And I understand his point (even if he could have put some more effort in overcoming his troubles).

Damn and i thought Chris and co was full of shit when they tried to say that a large % of players never make it past Hillock.. or very much further beyond that.. Guess that wasnt a joke...

Good grief, yeah.. this is why we have Diablo 3.

Should the game have gotten a negative review? No, I don't think it should have. I think the guy should have stuck with it because this game is one where once you get past the initial learning rips, it gets more enjoyable each time you play. But I can totally understand where a brand new player could get decimated to the point of rage-quitting.

That's you saying. You, who already know this. The guy in question doesn't, and the game didn't give him a chance to discover it. So the game deserves this review. Even if it may look undeserved. Because from new player's point it is.

At the rate we're going in 2020 PoE will have six mechanically distinct versions of fucking treasure chests.

I remember one guy that sucked blizzard dick like hell - and actually "liked" D3 back when pretty much everybody but the most morbidly obese WoWdrone could agree that it was shit (hear its much better now) - tried this and with like 12 mins playtime said, and I quote, "it is shit, it doesnt even have quests"

The first time I played long ago my friend and I figured out how to party up but couldn't figure out why we couldn't see or play with each other. He asked in global chat and somebody taught us about instances and how to get into the same one. That was back in early open beta. I don't think it's gotten any better for players entering the game for the first time. But you have to think you're doing something wrong if something isn't "working" when you're in the very beginning of the game. You should try to find out what you're doing wrong before writing a review. The game would end at mudflats if nobody could get past the coast.

A friend of mine and his companion quit Dark Souls instantly after choosing the way to the skeletons right at the beginning.
That does not mean the game desevers a bad review.. that's actually one thing that makes this game interesting.

When you get destroyed by Perandus mobs directly infront of the gate you should probably wonder if this is normal and find out what you can do about it. I think when you first start playing with default settings, you can't miss the global chat feature.
If they're not directly in front of the gate you can skip them and play it smart (after dying once or twice even).
Suggesting there's lvl 90 mobs all around lvl 2 areas because he personally could not handle it is just a lie and a pathetic review.

See this right here?

Shit design. Needs "New quest: Travel to the right" in the upper right corner.
