I'm gonna go back to POE 1. I have played Dark souls for about 20 min, a few years ago. Was the only Souls game I have played. Ever since I have hated the Souls games. Was looking forward to play POE 2. Now that i have played it. It just feels tedious.



Dark Souls games are NOT GOOD VIDEO GAMES man... any game that forces you to play a brutal difficulty level without your consent and tells you that dying 150 times and raging until you beat a game is "the pinnacle of gaming" is a BAD GAME... and Dark Souls fans are mentally unstable people... they're the Asmongolds of this world... and gaming companies may think they're the best player base to have but in an ARPG that needs to be replayed again and again if you lose the chill gamers that play for fun and to craft fun builds then your game will die FAST!!!


“Without your consent” that has got to be the funniest thing I have ever read. You are willingly playing the game. Where the hell does consent come into the picture??? And you call people who enjoy dark souls mentally unstable…
I agree.
Hope they can do a U-turn, but it really feels like it would mean:
- change campaign maps (lots of work, since most likely they are kinda static). Example the dreadnought: need to make it almost a copy of blood aqueduct (larger hallways, more connections) This might mean to redo/scale up the modular assets.

- Change the whole UI and design choices for the skills: because of WASD, they have decided to make all skills the same, but with just a different flavor. Shoot ice vs fire vs wind vs crossbow vs arrow skill that are basically the same cone damage skill with a different damage type, and debuff variant. You cannot use the hammer skills with a staff, its more restrictive than poe1 for no reason.

- Changing the skill system will mean you need to change the tree, the stat system, the debuff mechanics, and most likely all the uniques.

- The break armor and heavy stun and daze and stagger are new mechanics that should be completely removed.

We can add many other things that need to be changed, but these 3 things alone would mean a 50%+ U-turn, dev time and graphic time, which they do not want to have. Frankly i think they should change the game director, it is blatant that the game does not have the correct gameplay vision. It feels more like a D4 than a D2.
I genuinely laugh when I hear people sau they're quitting the game because it's too boring.

Yeah, dude. "Boring." Suuuuuuuuuure XD

As opposed to santimonious prigs in their self-proclaimed ( unproven, fanboy delirium) intellectual superiority telling everyone who dislikes the game are just dumb when your way is not the highway?

I won't say pot meet kettle here, as the pot here thinks it is some golden chalice heh.
True. Same here, dont want to play this ruthless shit anymore after 24h in Steam.
Agreed. I couldn't even muster up the energy to get past the graveyard. I dabbled with each of the classes looking for the fun, and just couldn't find it.
The more I played, the less I wanted to play.
For now I think it's best to put it down, and try again later.
it feels so boring and so limited...
the enemies are not hard because damage sponges are not hard. they are boring.
the skills with level limit on links and only one-per-build support...

damn they have announced a revolution in gaming and in arpg...all i can see is boring clunky and again booooring slop.

happy for those who can have fun in this game. in my version fun is not installed.

Yes, because you need to be mentally unstable and a masochist to think that the enjoyment comes from failing a thousand times and raging and screaming and throwing things until you beat the game and feel "accomplished"... but whatever... it's not my stuff they throw around and break and they're not waking me up with their screams of rage...

Maybe if you understood what addiction and mental health concepts are you would understand... games are supposed to keep people playing through fun and enjoyment... not through frustration and rage...

go to a therapist if you're in the latter category...

Buddy, the projection is wild.

People who actually love the franchise, and play all the games, do not rage while playing. You might, we don't. It's the same with Monster Hunter. The games are unforgiving. You don't like that, that's fine, get the fuck out of here with your projection though, nobody is buying it.
