An outdated, dead game - a review

lol the OP is spot on about the community... he gave an honest review (note its his opinion about the game and is not attacking anyone)

yet bunch of 'excellent community members' are flaming him and calling him names... priceless

he is also spot on on the unique part, repetitiveness and crafting... well done OP, good review. too bad no one really cares about those anymore :/

A few quotes from OPs RP:

"

The game is dead, the only people populating the forums are the in denial braindead fanboys who payed hundreds and 1k+

"

Wow I come back to check after 5 days and I find the website still up? I'll give this game 1 week

"

truth is, the sane ones like us have given this game a chance and finally gave up

"

The community is made up of people that even their mother couldn't love.

xD He tries so hard.

I had over four accounts since the beta, and well, the OP is honest and 100% right IMO

I stopped reading after the first line. So...basically QQ?

So if the game is so bad, why did you make that many accounts and stay around so long? And was one of those other accounts the one used for the OP?

Mystery SOLVED!!!

Interesting. Unfortunately for the OP the game is simply not for him. He can't tolerate the difficulty. That is fine. He just needs to stop saying it is a bad game because the game isn't what he'd consider the perfect difficulty.

nono the game is doing great .. that's why you have all those adds coming in... because they just have too much money coming in without them..

Do not feed the trolls =/= taking them to an all you can eat buffet with a stomach pump

There is no beta in a released online game, that's just an excuse the developers use to shield themselves from criticism.

You lost all your credibility here. Please quit and do not come back until release, people like you do not deserve to play betas.

Be fair. There’s some truth in the OP’s statement. This is not a regular Beta. Regular Beta’s don’t last half a year. The point of a Beta is to gather popular opinion and make changes to a nearly complete project. PoE Beta started way way too early. The problems this causes are two-fold.

First is as the OP stated. It starts to look like an excuse. Beta’s are supposed to help put final polish into the game. Instead, this Beta is all about scraping the caked dirt off something that kinda sorta maybe looks like it might end up being nice.

The second issue with the length of this Beta is the “been there, done that, didn’t/did like it, moved on” effect. Many many people have already spent all the time on PoE that they're going to spend. One of two things happened. They liked it, but have had their fill. Or they ran into enough issues that they decided the game wasn’t for them. For this last group of people, you can shout all you want about how the last six months have been just a test and how everything is magically going to get better with 1.0 but they’re not buying what you’re selling.

The industry standard is a couple months for Beta polishing. GGG has spent the last half a year letting people romp around in their woefully undeveloped product and has lost many customers because of it.
