Kinda frustrated that my support went for a Consol port instead of fixing and making the game better

what other motivation is there to invest money into support of other platforms, for a f2p game ?

the whole idea seems fairly risky to me tbh. a lot of sunk cost there and theyd need to recoup a lot through the xbox mtxes unless they found a way to have essentially one codebase with few little modular changes (I dont really believe it, but its somewhat possible at this point in this day and age)

Yeah, my interest in Poe is becoming dryer and dryer.

Im fucking pissed off about this !!!!!!


Why the fuck did i spend cash supporting a game that is going to be shit out on some shit consol .

FUCK !!!


This is bullshit , what about the other acts ? what about cutthroat ladders ? what about fixing the net code ? what about guild halls ? what about a graphics update ? what about fixing the animations , what about content to level 100 ? what about finishing the fucking story ? what about a full time race system ? what about having legacy items ? WHAT ABOUT NOT FUCKING UP YOUR GAME TO MAKE IT "CONSOL KID FRIENDLY"


IM pissed and i want my money back


You hear me GGG , I WANT MY MONEY BACK



P.s. ok i just heard the news so maybe ill calm down but this is NOT cool NOT COOL GGG

GGG sees this as an investment of our money.
We see it as a lost opportunity cost for the PC version.

We'll see what happens. GGG has big balls and has made some crazy calls in the past about the direction of their game. People constantly cry "dead game" and here we are with the most successful league yet.

There are some serious issues that GGG will have to overcome:

1) Console crowds are typically more casual: Yes you have your niche Dark Souls players that will probably love this game, but most players will compare it to the console version of D3 which is free loot/hacked loot and an easy game to "just couch play" on.

2) Patch cycles with Xbox One are no joke: The fastest i've ever seen a patch hit a console was 2 weeks and that was some crazy emergency fix where the game wouldn't work at all. Halo Anniversary edition saw a lot of this. GGG won't be able to just throw shit out there and patch it later like they do with PC. MS has some strict roll out protocols. Those devs are going to have to be on point or the game will die before it takes off.

3) There are aspects of this game that simply will not work well with a Gamepad: Umm...Labyrinth? They re either going to have to tone down many aspects of the game otherwise people will just rage quit. Very few people have patience for bullshit on console. They're too used to easy games (at least the mainstream players). The japanese console markets eat these types of games up...so here's hoping that there is some money there. The US figures for Darksouls 3 was never reported but total was assumed around 500k or so. If 500k people try poe, natural law of observed percentages of retention doesn't look good (see Steam as an example).


I dunno. I have faith in GGG as they have done many things right and have had bigger gambles than this..

here's hoping we don't get dumbed down. Something tells me we won't...but something also tells me that we're are going to see a lot of noob rollouts to appease the console crowd. I wouldn't be surprised if drop rates are dramatically increased and certain challenges in the game are lowered.

Also consol gamers will hate this game. Just a heads up :(

At the same time... are you really surprised at this point. I do enjoy playing PoE for the most part but sometimes I just wonder if I am playing the same game that GGG are playing. Weird balance choices and content that seems half finished. Constant performance updates like every patch saying things should be running smoother, I don't think I've seen any performance boosts on my end. Trade improvements coming soon, and they collect a dollar from everyone instead. Everyone is talking about melee and defenses and then they announce one handed weapon updates... so idk.

I would say as long as this doesn't start chipping away at the quality of content released. Considering they have to extend resources to xbox as well. Having a game run on both consoles adequately can be hard to balance. Then again, while I think PoE is a great game... it has so much more potential to be better. They had better deliver on some improvements to melee, life, defenses in the coming expansion. Aside from a few standout life builds, kind of tired of playing as if I have only 1 leg and 1 arm compared to ES/CI builds.

+1

This is a fck joke...

oh yeah, I just can't wait for all that sweet, sweet tears of people ripping to lab on consoles )

stop crying kids.. i dont know if u people are just trying to be dumb as hell? But doing a console port doesn't mean their money was wasted. since they prob have seen a massive success in some sort of testing ,

also your paying money to make sure GGG can keep making content,new engines, new gamemodes etc. [Removed by Support]
