i kinda like idea of having just life and mana flask :D

PoE flask system is genius.

PoE2 life/mana flasks and gold systems makes it play like an old school D2 clone.

according to jonatahan rogers the poe2 dev designer he thinks diablo 4 is better
poe2 requires you to refill flasks in town now

poe1 is better system and he forgot that

heh get used to the look and style you will be seeing very , very similar in poe2

There was more variety to the environments in the Poe2 exilecon footage than in the entirity of D4.

I'm enjoying D4 but in it's current state it's not 7000 hours good like PoE has been to me.

D4 was fun until i hit lvl 75 with two characters. Blizzard for sure showed that melee classes like rogue and druid can be top tier in the end game ranking and that its all about the numbers.

The combat gameplay in D4 is miles ahead of PoE despite cooldowns.

However the lack of stuff to do after 75 makes the game boring pretty fast.
There is a completely missing World Tier which was datamined and you can feel it at around lvl 70. And D4 really is a sum of a lot of minor inconveniences.

It's not the worst thing out there but it's definitely not great. It was lackluster enough to cause me to uninstall the game as I have no plans to bother with it anymore.

As it stands right now it was not worth the $70.

IMO D4 as it stands currently is about 1 character and 1 week of fun per season.

Hopefully Blizzard hears the feedback and responds as they have stated they will

Game SERIOUSLY needs a true end game among other obvious short comings

In my personal opinion almost any ARPG is bad in comparison to POE, but that's just my bias.
Now, realistically it isn't really a bad game. Not a good one either, but definitely not bad.
If you play 1 character and spend your time exploring everything, and overall experiencing the whole game, once, it's almost worth the 70$....almost. But once you experienced it once, it starts to go downhill. It just does not have anything to keep you playing.
TL;DR: average game, bellow average ARPG.
