You should just ask yourself one thing:

Is D3 addon for console released at the same time as the PC Version?

If not you are again just used to beta test the game for the final console release. And you have to pay to do this. Because yes its a game designed for consoles. Just keep this in mind peoople.

HF with the game.

What makes you say it's a game designed for consoles..? Because it's on the console? Or perhaps because the console version was released later than the PC version with all the nasty shit taken out? I've played the console version, it's actually quite lackluster, mainly due to mob density having to be very low for performance reasons.

This was the original gameplay trailer btw.

I've asked a few D3 players and they say it's nothing like this.

at its core d3 is just so uninspired, and after watching some ros streams it still looks like the same old shit to me.


my opinion has always been, if it didnt have "diablo" in the title, everyone would have thought it was just another of the dozen lackluster diablo 2 clones that have come out in the last decade.

everything about it was just a devolved form of diablo 2. i remember while playing through diablo 3 for the first time, there were so many moments where i just said to myself "wtf is this." i could write out a big list, like the 'loading bars' for identifying items, deckard cain getting killed by a butterfly in a shitty in-game cutscene in act 1, or having to manually skip through the dialogue 'SCENES' EVERY. GOD. DAMNED. LOOT RUN... but remembering just those three things is starting to give me diarrhea.

what i like about poe is- most of its aspects are on par with diablo 2, and enough of them are different and unique enough to call it its own game. being able to roll for links and socket colors for a set of skill and support gems you decided to put together yourself on each piece of gear? thats inspired. so is the passive tree.

d3 loot: "oh boy, +10 more vit +10 more main stat..." d2 had like 3 times as many prefix/affixes as d3, shoulda been the other way around.

He never actually said this right? Didn't he say that he thought it was fun but that he is not gonna go back to playing it 10 hours a day everyday?

I'm not falling for all the new hype about RoS. Everything that made Diablo 3 so boring is still present. Improving the loot and adding more content just means it will be playable for an extra month kinda like all the recent WoW Expansions since TBC.

No he actually LIKES it lol OP is a known troll.

Diablo 3 is an ARPG for the ADD casual gamer flunkie.

Path of Exile is for hardcore gamers who want challenge and depth.

Diablo 3 is McDonald's and Path of Exile is this locally owned corner restaurant with the best food you've ever tasted.

I'm actually very much looking forward to RoS. I enjoy playing self-found and RoS looks like it caters quite a bit to solo self-found players, you can easily see this from watching Kripp, or anyone else streaming RoS for that matter. Where as solo self-found in PoE is almost non-existent. You could maybe "beat" the game on self-found, and by "beat" I mean Merciless Dom, but you can pretty much forget about doing maps.

Huh? Since when has self-found been "non-existent"? Doing maps and beating dom on merc are both completely possible. Maybe if you only play for 30min at a time, or your build sucks lol.

Self found doesn't mean you find one item say every 10 levels or few hours. I am going to play both (who says I can't!!) but the self found in PoE is at most times slow and boring. That is why we got trading!

Kripp is neither right nor wrong on this. All he is doing is expressing his opinion. People need to draw their own conclusions as to what is better.
