Dark Souls

Honestly , if they want to make it a soulslike arpg or whatever it is , sure go for it , but i wouldnt be so sure that many player gonna play it constantly and season after season , its gets boring real fast , but hey , we will see isnt .

Path of Elden just isn't fun for me. I will quit for a while and come
back later to see if it changes my mind. If they were going for a
group of new players and the data supported this Demographic. It will
be interesting to see how it plays out.

There is also issues with the design of the campaign, the areas, the animations are actually only mid, the screen vomit and poor telegraphing is still there. I get the feeling a lot of those will not be fixed in a long time. The the new gem socket system was hyped as the next best thing but it is actually worse. Core things like that they are very unlikely to change. Spread a heap of DarkSouls plus Ruthless PoE 2.0 + letting a 13yr old D&D DM design the areas and maps, and the result is PoE2 Bad.

"the game will die if GGG doesn't dumb down the game and make it noob-friendly!!!"

yeah, not happening, no matter how hard you inhale that copium

go back to your snoozefest called poe 1 and leave the better game alone

You probably dont know, people gave it positive review even when they didnt get into the game during the server crash. it was 80%+ before everyone got into the game.

Feel free to update your reviews, Steam allows it.

I personally am really liking the game, regardless of how much I die.
It feels like a game. Last thing I want to see is another D4 where things just run up to you and die.

Can things be tweaked to reward activities? Sure.

I challenge you to give a single example of poor telegraphing. The telegraphing is actually immaculate, the best I've seen so far in any similarly timing oriented action game that doesn't feature any quick-time events (which obviously don't count as that's something different).

Seriously, name one boss ability with poor telegraphing, because the boss design is mind blowing, and I am not surprised the boss design has been a huge chunk of their dev time as Mark stated.

All I hear is:

"I am so much better and hardcore than you because I enjoy POE2. This prooves that you are noobs and i am not! And I will defend this opinion no matter what because it´s the only thing i have in live"

Dude, grow up, it´s not all about you.

Be happy that you enjoy the game, even praise it, but stop humiliating people which have a different experience, thats embarrasing and contradicts your point.

PoE 2 is waaaay dumber than PoE 1... the fact you think it's more "engaging" shows your absolutely bottom tier level of understanding of the words engagement and interaction...

The game is tedious af, the most important button is dodge roll and every class has about 2 viable builds which are ridiculously obvious to spot since it's the very very obvious skills that the devs tell you they synergize... so every other idea is a waste of time...

I play a Ranger and oh wow... I managed to make my two lightning skills synergize... wow, I'm a genius... so you either pick all the lightning for damage and Cold for CC or you go Poison for damage and Cold for CC...

Picking skills is DUMB AF... you just pick the most obvious ones and then pick the most obvious skill tree nodes and you're done...

So they totally killed theory crafting to add dodge rolling to the game... hmmmm... I guess pressing space needs more IQ than thinking a whole build theory then...

You my dear sir ARE DUMB... and you are happy because they don't challenge your mind!!!

Nahhhh, you don't get to play righteous asshole. Just because that's what you HEARD doesn't mean anything. In fact, it's just adorable that you'd claim someone else making it all about them, when that's exactly what you're doing. You want the team to change their vision because it's not what YOU want.

Give it time, and stop projecting, it's gross.

why do you think jonathan said poe 2 will be a souls-like arpg?

Dark soul 1-3 are fun, Elden ring is fun, Sekiro is fun, Bloodborn is fun, black myth wukong is fun.

POE 2 is not.

Saying it is souls like doesn't make it fun to play.

not fun for YOU. it's fun for us

Not for all of us.
