How many skill do you use in PoE?
(ho sry, you're not in the beta so, you don't know what you're talking about)

Not a lot of choice here, but you will certainly have some kind of buff in your 8 skills, like Lightning Shield, Molten Shell, Blood Rage, the new auras...

So yeah, in the end, you'll have 6 active skills aswell, and you will most likely use only 2 of them ^^;

Haha, 'owned'.

It's very true, POE could just as well be ported to the console. In fact, so could D2 with a bit of UI work.
(You never really used all the skills you could quikslot anyway)

We are only using two skills because this game is still early beta. The skills are imbalanced, due to some leveling a lot better than others. More skills will be added and level balance will undoubtedly be improved. skills are on QWERT and remappable for a reason.

Still makes it very doable on a controller.

You know you could easily blow my argument by saying that "no it's not possible right now to port PoE on console because some skills, like curses, are ground targeted.". But you don't know that because you never played PoE.

As for console port, take a look at Torchlight: PC, console
They were able to port Torchlight on console with a lot more shortcuts.


And for Diablo, well... they already did Diablo on PS1.


edit: removed the quote on the network. In the end, I don't think PoE could be on console because of the engine. It works ok on PC, but consoles are a lot less powerful...

Well plenty of skills in D3 are ground targeted too, it's just something they'll have to find a solution for on console I guess.

an easy solution to that is just to cast the skill in the direction to max distance (if you're thinking about Leap or stuff like that), it's less a problem than curses IMO.

Agreed entirely. It's too bad that the originals devs of Diablo 2 had nothing to do with Diablo 3...it's far, far too casualized.

Need I say more in the Blizzablo 3 vs PoEDiablo 3 argument?

And is it a bad thing, Derp?

ho sorry, you want to change the debate into a console noob gamer vs elitist PC gamer master race?
Well, that's cute :)

Maybe when PoE will have more enemies than 3 types, more than a dozen of gameplay for their skills, and more than 50+ uniques, the game will be better. But right now, it isn't.
That's fact sadly ^^;

D3 doesn't have uniques, its gonna have mandatory for money gold-text gear for each level and class. D3 is gonna be like open-BNet D2. D3 has only gear for customization, think about it, your WHOLE character is the gear, no other defining features World of Warcraft.
