If you do, my response is: LMAO!

First of all, Diablo III is a terrible game, mainly because of the cookie cutter builds and poor itemization.

However, after playing Torchlight II for a while now, I've come to the conclusion that it is really the Diablo III killer we've been waiting for. The itemization is done fantastically and you really can make a whole variety of viable builds from each class. I haven't been this addicted to an ARPG in a while. The graphics are cartoony, but the art style is really great.

Path of Exile, on the other hand, is complete and utter joke of a game. The dull world, stiff animations, slow and sluggish combat, dated graphics, embarrassing item design, and overly complicated skill system- all of these things contribute to the unplayability of this game for me.

So, to anyone promoting this game over alternatives, I really can't help but laugh. In my opinion, PoE Beta is NOT worth $10. You couldn't pay me to play this game. I've been in the beta for months and I've had absolutely no inclination to re-install it.

Why is Path of Exile so bad? Well, let's just say that the quality and polish of this game is equivalent to that of this website. I should have taken that as a hint.

Hardcore is not impossible, unless you are really really bad. I am on Act 4 Inferno on HC and only have one death.... seems pretty easy tbh.

So here's my 2 cents - for what it's worth lol! Never played the Diablo series until D3; always played other types of console RPG's - Morrowind, Oblivion, KOTOR I & II, etc... D3 was fun UNTIL Blizz stepped in and decided it was best to nerf the fuck out of everything. So I'm like uh yeah, so now there's no more challenge, everything is nerfed or dumbed down like WoW so I stopped playing until I read on the Rift forums about this game. I'm a game junkie - as long as it's fun, I don't care how old or popular it is, I'll play it. Aion, Jade Dynasty, Forsaken World, EQ2, Rift, WoW, Torchlight, SWTOR, TSW, TERA ONLINE and so many others I either am playing or have played. Most I've stopped as the dumbing down and nerf factor are a big turn off for me. I came here and I was like oh wow this has major promise. Great graphics (realistic), I actually die (that means challenge), amazing passive tree (you mean I can do or make whatever kind of toon I want? I can make a warrior [marauder] that can cast spells?) that isn't at all complicated. It uses a very sound bit of logic. Torchlight - meh, really kind of ugly in my opinion and really tried to get into it but found it so boring.

The OP says that this game is so unplayable. I find that quite odd as there are times I forget this is still a CLOSED BETA and runs 100% smoother than when SWTOR launched. As a matter of fact, this game runs 100% smoother than most "AAA" games that go live today. But the fact that the OP is still comparing a game that is in a closed Beta stage to one that is live and "polished" demonstrates to me that they must be new to the gaming world and not one of the old vets like most of us...

Path of Exile is more unique with its Skill Tree and skills are gems that can be used by any class. The currency system is also really interesting also. :]

Diablo 3 = Auction House game. You never get the gear you want. So you grind, then purchase it on the AH. While D3 may have great graphics, animations and play control, the premise for the game is TERRIBLE.

Torchlight 2 = single player, offline mode, modability. Not secure, not 100% online. Allows hacking of your toons. This is basically a single player game that offers online mode. Why play hard mode TL2 when you can play easy, and get the same gear? It makes no sense. Torchlight 2 progression makes no sense. I love Runic Games but its 2013. Games should be 100% online, wherever I log in I should have acccess to my toon. My only interest in TL2 was because the TL MMO was coming out. Now that TLMMO is never coming out, and Diablo is an AH game, PoE is the only place left to go.

PoE offers a 100% online secure experience with great skill tree. etc..

true, PoE is a bit stiff in animations compared to D3 and TL2, but give it time. The whole premise of PoE is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than TL2 and D3.


Right now the games I play are:

GW2 over WoW
PoE over D3, TL2
LoL over any other MOBA
Firefall over PS2

I have tried ALL the games listed above. IMO the ones I'm playing are the best in their respective genre

I've played well over 100mmos, and while PoE may not be a true MMO, i'm loving playing every minute.

LOL The OP is obviously trolling. What his genuine feelings are I do not know. Nor do I care.

Do NOT feed the trolls. It sends them into a reproductive frenzy!

D3 was pretty good before they nerved Inferno. After that it was way too easy. No challenge nothing. Boring builds, boring endgame etc.

PoE over all.
