General Discussion - So, in the same week, i am a D3 and PoE beta player :O (impressions) - Forum

" Wittgenstein wrote: Yes, their is a difference. So what, exactly, did GGG copy from D2 besides the basics (those things that actually make the genre what it is). D2 had gold. PoE does not D2 had character molds with predefined skills PoE does not D2 had a system which encouraged endless boss runs PoE does not D2 vastly limited the player on itemization PoE gives the player many more options I am not saying D2 was a poor game, I still play it, and it is certainly one of my all time favorites. Still, I recognize the stark differences in both design and implimentation between D2 and PoE. I brought in D&D as a tool to show how little is accomplished by saying "Oh this is just like D2, no originallity!" if D2 can copy a (dumbed down) D&D yet still be a great game, and make several strides forward, why can't PoE have the same chance? PoE is exactly like D2, except for a few minor tweaks in system and upgraded graphics. Oh, and because it's a MMO. Try harder. You mad?

No worry about the trolling. On the diablo 3 beta, all i'm seeing from beta player's forums are complaints. I won't take my time numerating them tough, as i'm starting to lose faith with their recent news. Keep it up PoE! I hit him in the temple and he began to convulse like a retarded Hillbert.

Oh just let little butter have his opinion about it ^^ I love discussions about games that are in the same genre. But this sounds more like politics having a discussion with her :) The only thing i care about in Diablo is , give me more lore and just let me know more about what happens in the story :) The rest is just a bonus to me.

" zfky09 wrote: overall the game is looking pretty good. tbh though im a bit disappointed by how little it tries to change the formula from DII. having said that it does do what DII does well but with better graphics and a good trade system with a lot more items worth picking up off the ground. If it's not broke, don't fix it. I'm tired of developers trying to rewrite the book on a particular genre with every release. It's tiresome and counter-productive. There's a reason why COD has such a rabid fanbase (as terrible as that fanbase is). They want COD. Not a new game every time. There's an interview on Giantbomb with a game dev about this. It was really interesting. hi ezra	Posted by Iconik on Feb 5, 2012, 8:58:43 AM Quote this Post
