Game is great Gameplay is terrible
|
This is easily one of the best games I have played but sadly the gameplay is lacking.
The skill mechanics, socket system, gems, crafting orbs, skill tree - all of these things and probably more that I forget right now, are absolutely genius. The game just makes you want to keep on playing, rewarding enough but not too much so you won't get bored. Constantly something to improve, new skill combination to test, a build to level, items to find. But the gameplay, oh man the gameplay. It just feels lacking. At low levels espcially - it feels like you move in slow motion taking forever to kill things and your skills just don't feel really all that rewarding. Even at higher levels of 80+ it just doesn't feel right. Add to that the fact that you can't cancel animations and what you get is a really sluggish feeling unless you stack crazy amounts of attack speed, and movement speed. One of the things Diablo 3 did right was the combat. It was fast paced, satisfying and exhilarating. I really hope the devs are going to change how the game feels and make it feel more fluid. p.s. The idea that the combat should be total shit so that you feel like a real exile is ridiculous. You can still make the gameplay smoother and faster paced without affecting the difficulty.

Having the game run faster/smoother means facing even more desync...
Maybe someday it might be on the table, but I'm quite happy with the game as it is. Never argue with a zombie, he'll drag you down to his level and eat your brains. |

Nonsense.

" Diablo 3 had much less desync issues compared to PoE. |

Thing you should learn from strategy games: fast paced = dumb RTS, slow paced = tactical depth
That's why the best strategy games are turn based. Or quite slow like Myth. You need time to make decision and place everybody in proper position |

" Yes, lets make PoE turn based. |

" What a load of bull****, then why is Starcraft best strategy game out there? As for OP, don't worry. After a while gameplay will become good enough but what you praised now you will see the holes in the system and that will not be as cool as you think now Last edited by Torin#1843 on Apr 17, 2013, 11:07:31 AM

" Won't work. For turn based you need a party, like Baldur Gates. Or single char and long range firearm, like Fallout Turn based game with a single char with a sword is the dumbest thing you can come with. Neverwinter Nights is example of how not to do it |
