Some days I think the trolls are the people that keep responding and keep this kind of post on the front page for several consecutive days.

If there was a downvote button, this thread would be buried in 10 minutes.

To OP:

with respect, you obviously came here with an agenda. It's ok if the game isn't for you, but 20 minutes is not enough time to evaluate any game in most cases. And everything you described was either out right false or sadly just shows your lack of understanding about the AARPG and RPG genre. And obviously skewed by an agenda.

I am honestly quite amused it was worth $10 to You to be able to use the forums to bash this game in hopes to save your dying ....I hate to mention it but it's obvious you came from Blizz forums, your dying Diablo 3


This game is what the masses want. This game is EVERYTHING the *other* game should have been. This game will be COMPLETE. This game will actually WORK! This game puts the power in the PLAYERS hands and not some company that will lie and screw you over and then hide behind their T.O.S.


As for the Graphics, the graphics are excellent and set the MOOD. We don't want to play in candyland, we want a mood of despair and desperation!! We don't want a lame story or over bearing cinematics, we wan't meaningful and exciting gameplay.

We don't want to be told how to play our class and forced to play build they want. We want the Tools to challenge ourselves and build the character WE WANT. We don't want a game that forces you to use a Auction house, we want a game that forces you to THINK and Prepare!

We want CM's and DEV's who will listen to the fanbase and Communicate in a meaningful and respectful manner, not CM's and Dev's who will ignore you, insult you, and then ban you for speaking up respectfully.

We want a company that can deliver what they promise in a REASONABLE time frame. A company capable of implementing a BASIC form of PVP in less than 7 Years, 7 patches, and 8 months after release.


So thank you, your OPINION is noted, go enjoy a game you do like, and have a great day!

The prolme of this review is not that its absolutly untrue, but that its focus lays on uninteresting aspects of the game.
Who cares about graphics if the gameplay isnt right?

The question is if you would rather play a game where Armor and Resistance basically is the same or another game which has more thought through game mechanics?

Iwas was one of the people who defended Diablo 3 for a long time, because I wanted to love it but since I play PoE I have to say that D3 is pure shit compared to PoE -.-

So true as unpleasant.

Maybe if you are lucky enough you dont care about a complex game and are satisfied by smashing only LM and RM. Then most games are the right thing for you and you can focus more on the visual apearance.

Not at all, but I use the opportunity to make them look silly and foolish.

I mean c'mon, did OP think we were gonna read his post and go " OP is right, lets all go back to DiaBLOW 3 and maybe the servers will be up"

:)

So I logged in to POE for the very 1st time, I clicked on 1st zombie and I missed. I feel I have experienced enough of this game to write a review on it guys.

I was soo dissapointed in this game, the zombie killed me, my punching skills did no damage and where are all my passive skills and gems?! I should not have to spend more than 5 mins to have every skill in this game. The very 1st area was not looking great compared to hell in D3, why dont the gx look like some thing from disney land, WTF is going on?! This game as far as I can tell is not polished enough for release and I know this because I spent 5 mins playing it, if I were you GGG I would wait another 1-2 years before you put this in to open beta status because I develop software and I know best.

Cheers, Mr Troll.

The best trolls are when people aren't sure if it's a troll post or not.

I find it wonderful that there are many people out there that takes me up on this.

If I start with removing the idiots from the crowd with the same courtesy the showed me with all the OP is a troll, retard, idiot, moron etc etc and actually discuss what the OP was about.

If you think about what I wrote in the OP and consider them from a marketing standpoint and want to sell this game to newcomers you'll have to consider things like the environment, the way things feel straight off the bat and how you're let into the world, what the newbies sees.

It's a very easy concept and it's a wordwide know fact that in establishing report with a client, costumer, friend or whatnot you don't have many minuts or even seconds to make an impression and declare what the intentions of a product are. Games are no different, I mean there has to be something that'll keep a new player interested so you can present all those amazing things that people in this thread is talking about. I met nothing that showed me why I should be playing PoE more than these 20 minutes than I did testing the game. That's where the issue lies - not with the gameplaymechanics of skills, xpgain rates, farming routers, bis-gear or anything of the sort.


The game was simply not captivating enough for me as a new player.


Nowhere in the OP do I talk about the actualy game mechanics and skills more than the combat engine feeling really awkward to play with. I even mention inte the OP that I would love to play the game based soleley on the skills and skillmechanics.



As about my company and what we do I admit we do not work in the entertainment business as we work mainly with business-related software but our usergroup are people who know little to nothing about computers. This is were the difficulty in design comes in and where my focus lies is how to get people into a product and show them what it can do.

My normal supportcases range in the terms of extracting files from a zip-archive, manipulating PDF-prints, etc. These means that I as a designer and systemsarchitecht need to see the whole picture and not just the fancy advanced really neat and cool stuff our products can do.

My post was directed to critique the newbie aspects of the game and the startup feel and the impressions the game made on me after starting up and fooling around for a bit and wether or not people think newbies are retards or not these are critical points in any type of product-manufacturing.

A hardcore gamer will never see these things as they breeze straight through it and don't pay attention to the details.

My gaming experience started out with MUDs back in 1994 at age 9 and i've tried out more or less every arpg, mmorpg, tbrpg and whatnot I could get my hands on as the genre is in my bones.

Poe's Law

Why is this thread not closed yet? This was the most stupid i have read in a long time

No one will take any thing you said seriously, what is so hard to under stand about that. You played 20 mins of this game and decided to write a review on it. No wonder people think you are a troll.
