What this game really shows about diablo 4 is 2 things: 1. Diablo devs think the general public is so stupid that they made the most dumbed down game with no depth to "make it accessible" 2. They put zero effort into the game and it's more and more clear how lazy they were. And the fact that they wanna sell a paid expansion after Diablo 4 made them a ton of money while being a pile of trash, just affirms how much they think the fans are stupid.
It's not even average though, at this point the game is below average. It doesn't even match games in the same genre that are decades old. Based solely on the actual content of the game.
@@valacthedemon It's really good... I recently tried the sorcerer and went for runemaster mastery and blew my mind... each skill you use gives a different rune depending on the element (fire, Ice of Lightning)... and depending on the last 3 spells you've used the combination of the runes (based on element AND sequence) you can produce a different end spell... so if you go for an all elements elemental damage build you literally are producing 20+ different elemental spells if you want... that is the most badass mage class of all time by A FUCKING MILE... I don't care if it's optimal DPS of endgame... it's the most fun, badass class and I'm in fucking love with it... They just thought, wanna feel like Dumbledore, being the most gifted Wizard in the world... here's a class that can produce and conjure a fuckton of different elemental spells... have fun!!! I'm super impressed with Last Epoch cause they really understand what GAMING is all about... they're not too dumb like D4 and they're not needlessly complicated like PoE that you essentially not playing a game but just optimizing and optimizing and optimizing like it's a chore... they just made a game that is complicated enough to be very engaging and focused on the game being FUN!!! Not a chore... FUN!!!
@@MaitreMechant My problem with Grim Dawn is the exceptionally slow early game. Yeah, once you get going, your characters become super powerful, but starting a new build has a long build-up before you can see if it's working or not.
PoE isn't too much for me, but I think LE does things RIGHT that PoE does wrong.. and is the perfect middleground. LE definitely has the potential to be the best ARPG out there once fully fleshed out.
I remember reading a Steam review on LE before D4 was released. It was something like "Playing this to pass the time until D4 comes out."

Typical redditor ending a sentence in (sarcasm) lmao it reminds me of those people.
I haven't played D4 in 4 months. I grew up playing D2 (I still play D2R) and enjoyed D3 for a year or two. It amazes me how they took everything people loved from the previous games and decided not to put it in D4. It's like they said "Hey here's everything from D2 and D3 that was enjoyable. Don't put any of it in D4."
Try poe. I have 900 hours, no idea what I'm doing I just follow build guides and stuff and I have an absolute blast. The giant skill trees intimidated me but then I realized that was the game actually putting effort and thought into their content instead of whatever the hell D4 was. I loved d2/d3 and I completely agree with you. It's like they just sucked the soul right from the diablo series. We saw that coming though after 'you guys don't have phones?'. That's when we realized they didn't make games anymore and they are every gamers enemy.
@@davidmoak1219poe is cool yes but its just too much. Atleast for me. I dont want to watch Video After Video to make something Remotely play able. Thats where LE shines.

Its picks up in pace super fast and the map + Story makes sense for a videogame setting + are gorgeus.
I was reading an article on my Google feed that blizzard is delaying the gauntlet indefinitely. I don't know how true that is but I'm hoping it's not..
Raxx suggested that they just scrap the gauntlet for s3 because it's too late really and s3 is about as interesting as season 1 was. His suggestion was leave it for s4 so even if s4 has a lame seasonal mechanic it will roll out with the itemization updates as well as the gauntlet to make it a "good" season overall. I think this is also the best approach.
@@cheezepotatoThey should beta test it in s3 imo. Stop hoarding content for the expansion and just release it. The game is in bad shape and needs all the beta testing it can so it's better when they do release the next expansion with an end game system :)
I also saw it had the seeking option, so a "Seeking exploding Plasma Flamethrower" wich can also split, yeah dosent sound cool at all, who whould want that.
I said this when I played D4, being the first ARPG I played. My first thought was, why tf aren't these skills on the tree instead of on items or aspects. And when I said this, a lot of the players replied "this is an ARPG" as if the Idea was somehow foreign. The skill tree sucks because they moved the skills to items so you'd have to grind for them.
Find a copy of Diablo 2 (the original, not the overpriced remaster) and play that. Then you'll know what a good ARPG is and why the Diablo series used to be great. D3 is good too but D2 was the peak. Blizzard has fallen a long way since then.

I wish he would have pointed out how in Last Epoch you can name each item stash tab, color code them, and even organize them into groups. Do they think I am not smart enough to remember where I put things? Do they think I am a child who needs things sorted by colors? 🤢
@@megajeremy5616 Ye okay, let me rephrase it. why does blizzard allow you to color and sort the unbelievable high number of 5 stash tabs. Sounds nonsensical to me
I hope they fixed all the issues before the final release. The game is good, but I had a lot of issues... disconnections, slow level loading, rubber banding, lag, so UI bugs. I contacted them many times and they ended up ignoring my emails after they couldn't find out what the cause of the problem was.
I been playing early access for a month+ now and never experienced any DC or rubber banding, no lag either. The only issue that i also had is the loading screen when you click it doesn't take you to the loading screen instantly, but i looked up why that was happening and they explained in-depth why and said they re-worked most of the multiplayer aspect from the ground up to fix that issue and prepare it for the launch when 1.0 arrives.
I played Last Epoch during EA way too much. I made a Tank/Brawler Druid Werebear. A force of nature to be reckon with. There was no online mode in EA, so I played offline. I am going to re-create same character in online when the game is out. Can't wait. Last Epoch imho has the best shape shifter character archetype when it comes to aRPGs. Even better than D2 & D4. I do hope Last Epoch (just like BG3) will win some rewards for games released in 2024. I mean this is imho the best candidate for best aRPG of 2024.
LE is super fun however i really do hope the LE endgame gets shifted slightly. or trade really helps it not be as tiring so fast. however LE is an amazing stepping stone for someone intimidated by poe, really helped me get into poe and understand it. I will play both more however when i get bored of poe i swap my strat, that type of thing doesnt exist in LE YET. trade could spice things up
Cycle 2 will probably be where they start coming out with new things for end game. 1.0 is really just a formality release. They had to draw the line somewhere and what better time than when they've finished 3 mysteries per class.
I really like last epoch except for these two things: Hitboxes seem off sometimes. Sometimes the mobs are hard to click on, which I've never experienced before. Combat doesn't feel as hard hitting. I'm only level 30 rn though
combat is better than D4 I have found the feeling of getting more powerful way better than any Diablo game. Last Epoch is way better than D4 it is what D4 should have been. the best part is it is cheaper and has more content at launch than D4 has after 3 season's.
Lost Ark set a very high standard for ARPG combat, animations and visuals going forward and it seems no developer has paid any attention to it whatsoever. LoA might be a mess in many areas but combat specifically is not one of them and I cannot say I feel all that excited watching Last Epoch's stiff animations, dried out visuals and fairly average combat mechanics after having experienced Lost Ark's. There's a whole lot of cope and ignorance going on not just from Diablo fans but arpg fans as a whole; Seems like people are so focused on hating on D4 and praising PoE2 (and now LE due to D4's situation) that nobody's asking themselves why all of them look years behind Lost Ark even though everyone trashtalks it for running on UE3 still.
@@krixtoreiLost Ark combat is phenomenal. The GFX artists need to be commended as the animations are by far the best in the ARPG genre. A lot of misses with the game in other areas but the GFX department slaps.
Woo Last Epochs getting noticed! As someone whis played it for a few years and got into the CT program, in really hyped for the release. The devs are working CONSTANTLY on everything to get it ready for release and it shows. Highly recommend people to pick it up and give it a shot
@@JohnSmith-fx2mz yup. I have 0 sympathy for anyone that paid for D4. They had ample warning blizz would fk it up. It's not like they haven't fked up wow and overwatch already These people deserve to keep getting scammed until they finally stop living in the past
Well, the best thing about D4 for me is that there is 0 endgame, so you can just clear T100 with ease without even lvl 15 glyphs or any uber items and 3 shot lilith for the 3rd time and then quit and get back to your life which is much more important. Blizzard understands how important that is for consumers because if we just play game all day and make no money we can't buy their next xpac.
There is no WASD movement option in LA(( Despite numerous requests from players, some even with health issues, devs blocks WASD mechanic that ALREADY in the game, we cant do it like in Undecember, because devs intentionally made cursor disappear when the controller is connected, huge dislike for this! It’s a pity that the developers chose the side of inadequate "click-to-move" fans, whose arguments are simply nonsense, they are the main reason that the genre does not evolve, ARPGs become more ACTION-RPGs when it is possible to move with WASD, with click-to-movie combat remains clumsy, inconvenient and ridiculous. Click-to-move fans using keyboard for flasks, skills, etc. According their logic, they shouldn’t use it, everything can be done with the mouse, just need a skill!
i love it when he says, wait those toons seem to be using same abilities as d4 so they must have been stolen, lol, when in fact, last epoch has been a live early access game for like 4-5 years, so guess now who INSPIRED the other
This game is an example how you should slap a company like Blizzard. You can even select your gear attribute stats come on .......... players will feel like they are in full control to their crazy game builds. Praying for the whole team of Last Epoch.
I enjoyed D4 Season 2, after hating Season 1... and I tried season 3, I WANTED TO LIKE IT SO BAD. I made it to level 20 before falling asleep at my keyboard. Will be trying LE because this looks legit.
I only enjoyed the beta a little bit with max lvl 25 (closed beta), everyone was farming this overleveled (lvl 31ish) mob that kept respawning, for items :D after the launch, pre-Season, it was so terrible, no endgame, just some boring ass basic dungeons without any difficulty at all. They forgot to finish the game after coding early game.
Last Epoch is to Diablo 4 just how Paralives is to The Sims. Thank you so much to these developers showing greedy companies that you can have a good quality game without charging for every little update to their game.
I would gladly buy another version of LE if I had another computer the only thing I love is when the loot filter glitches out and sometimes you won't see any drops at all I really hope they fix that on 1.0
I've had that "glitch" it's the X key. If you hit it, it turns off all pickups until you hit it again. You, like me, probably hit it on accident (I've done this like 3 times)
The talk about stash and making players choose what to keep and what to sell, that sounded exactly like what you would hear from a Blizzard design team meeting. Some design lead or producer is just going to walk in and say, "that's what the game is all about (referring to making players constantly struggle with choices)"
i said it before the seasons even started. 1. loot filter 2. talents or items that will change the mechanics of a skill. multi shots, bigger projectiles, faster, elemental .explosion whatever. there's still none after 3 seasons.
Combat in LE is really not very good. Missile weapons and ranged magic pass through mobs doing no damage. Monster reactions frames too late, not timed with the actions and combat has no impact. Feels like hitting and punching a sponge. All this might be fixed for launch. But at the moment the minute to minute gameplay of LE is pretty weak.
I dont have this problem even if i did that is a fixable issue.. and the best part is it is cheaper and has more content at launch than D4 has after 3 season's.
I think LE is pretty average. it has some good things, it has some bad things, but mostly it is just very avarage. It seems to me that all this hype is less about last epoch being good but instead its mostly about D4 bad.
@@cl1489 \I agree it has far more potential and will probably be much better in no time. But at the moment. IN terms of combat gameplay - which is what I (and I suspect most) spend 80% of their time doing, I find LE the weakest of all ARPG's I've tried ion the last 30 years. And I think I've tried all of the well known ones from Sacred through Dungeon Siege, Torchlight 1 and 2 (and Eternal), Space Siege, D1, 2, 3 and 4 PoE, Titan Quest and my current favourite Grim Dawn. Personally I find the combat in LE quite a bit weaker than any of those. Fixable for sure, and maybe mostly fixed by launch as the developer update mentioned most of these issues. Fingers crossed it is/ :)
35bucks? Sounds like a game you wouldn't mind spending a bit more for limited items or some cosmetics. Probably gonna give this one a go, D4 is so bland I am struggling to make it to 100 currently, I just bail after about 1 or 2 levels every night.
Bought it last night and started playing the beta, graphics aren't as polished as poe or d4 but its not a big deal. The paths for the campaign is pretty linear, much less of an open word than it is essentially a dungeons that the story flows through. The skill and class trees are freaking sweet though, im only lvl15 so far but having a blast on my mage. A lot of it works a bit different to diablo and getting my head around it is the main reason I'm playing before release.
LE has been in development for 11 years now, 6 of them with fans. So I would expect that everything the players want would be in the game. The team is very competent, and they find meaningful solutions rather than just doing what people say.
i like all arpg, why would you need to hate one, poe and D4 and LE all got their strenghts, i had not that much fun in S3 of D4 but future can be bright, never lose the hope. And the poe2 future is sure bright, Last Epoch we got to see how good seasons will be.
I play both games (D4 and LE). While D4 has sadly much less options to build the char, I find the fighting (how it "feels") still better in D4, The looks, The feeling of the open world, not generlocked etc. So I wish for D4 to get some systems from LE and I am omega happy :) OR get LE an engine/graphic update, Char creation etc. So yea, hope the best for both games.
Titan Quest and Grim Dawn made this class system perfect and " Last Epoch " used it to make it from lokal/coop action RPG too public Action RPG and alternate it to D4 and PoE. Grim Dawn has much better playstyle as D3 and D4 in opinion and get much more life support all over the years the only critism of Grim Dawn is the UI does not corret scale on UWQHD Resolution.
I feel like Diablo 4 devs never bothered to study their competition, and even if they wanted to, their corporate managers would not permit "wasting company time" on such pointless activities. Diablo 4 is all about milking the nostalgia players for every last dollar, they don't care about anything else, only the money
I can't coming back until a loot filter is implemented. I don't want to sort bullshit after work. I just wanna kill mobs and upgrade shit. sorting inventory seems like a job.
Last Epoch has been out for like a year since the beta and they have been working hard to fix issues and turned out really good. Nice devs all around really.
Lost Ark was pretty good and Ive spent a good ammount of time on it, more than I would like to admit to be honest and was one of the firsts to have the golden terpeion mount or whatever it was called. The issue with the game from my perspective was that even when I completed every daily and weekly including raids on 6 characters each week I couldnt keep up with the gold, it was quite ridiculous. A legendary book I needed for my skills costed around 20k I think and I needed "just" 20, and of course for a 2nd skill aswell. Not sure how much money Ive made each week (its been already too long ago but I guess 10k maybe ?). What also pissed me off was the fact they released only a class each few months or did they even up it to 2 ? I dont remember. Anyways In a game where you have to play 6 characters for dailys and weeklys to farm gold and ressources its quite frustrating if you cant really play the classes you want. Of course you could also just create 6 sorcs for example but that doesnt feel right. Its sad because I think Lost Ark combat wise is top notch. Sadly if I stop a game like Lost Ark / MMO it will be a long time until I even think about playing it again (you have to relearn alot). I probably would fail now on all raids lol because I have forgotten most of the stuff. So IMO releasing classes bit by bit was the worst thing they could do ... But I guess I digress a bit because the video is not really about Lost Ark, but it was mentioned in the video and it just triggered me ^^. And Iam super glad I didnt buy into the hype of D4. I think even D3 is a better game, if they could just fix the itemization (10000% or whatever dmg. to only certain skills is just stupid design, but as a whole the game is much better). Iam holding my breath for PoE 2 and the MMO from Riot Games, I think both will be great.
"Last Epoch could figure out leaderboard so fast?" They forgot to load the (free and unlimited) stash tabs of all the players on the leaderboard when you enter the town.
I like d4 but last epoch looks super fun and has more depth. D4 seems like something I pick up every other season or whenever they add more content to make the end game an actual endgame lol. D4 is pretty to look at but below the surface it's stale and has me staring at the screen when I realize I have to go farm for more materials. By level 100 I'm leveling glyphs and looking for uniques. Nightmare dungeon 100 and Lilith shouldn't be my absolute end goals.
I'm a die-hard Diablo fan, been playing since the beginning. The new season for D4 just dropped and I haven't played a single minute of it LOL. I don't even MISS playing D4 because there is NOTHING to miss. I played the closed end-game beta and all the other betas until release and was personally asked to give feedback on the game, etc. since I've played an unhealthy amount of Diablo over the last 2+ decades. I gave them a TRUCKLOAD of information, suggestions, things to add, things to take away, etc. to make the game rewarding and fun to play AND last a long time. Exactly ONE of these was implemented and nothing else. They should have listened to me. I've been PC gaming since 1984 and KNOW what makes a game "good" and keep a huge player base for a long time. Oh well! How does a multi-billion-dollar gaming developer fail so hard? Needless to say, I and the crew will be playing Last Epoch. Looks pretty fun and full of what makes an RPG game good. Lightyears ahead of D4. Yeah, this was a funny/great video. I hope Blizz watches it and says to themselves "What does this guy/players know about good games?" and then CONTINUES to drive their company into the dirt where it belongs. Oh, I almost forgot.... Diablo 4 had TONS of beta testing and input by players. It cost $100 for the game. Upon official release, it was a giant pile of dog shht and still is. I have convinced all my friends across all platforms to completely STOP supporting this company. Do not buy or play their games from now on. Not playing ANY of the games they currently own. Telling everyone THEY know to do the same thing. This is the ONLY way to not waste your time on the same cut-and-paste BS they produce and force them to address their products if they are going to survive.
After the fact 6:08 aged so poorly, Last Epoch was the game that made Blizzard make the biggest changes they have ever done in one of their games. This new season is pretty decent because of it.

in my region last epoch is 1/4 of the price of D4, I'm loving this game, super fun messing with the skill trees
Remember when Diablo 4 released without a search bar in their stash tab?
I said this when I played D4, being the first ARPG I played. My first thought was, why tf aren't these skills on the tree instead of on items or aspects. And when I said this, a lot of the players replied "this is an ARPG" as if the Idea was somehow foreign. The skill tree sucks because they moved the skills to items so you'd have to grind for them.
Find a copy of Diablo 2 (the original, not the overpriced remaster) and play that. Then you'll know what a good ARPG is and why the Diablo series used to be great. D3 is good too but D2 was the peak. Blizzard has fallen a long way since then.

I'll bet they don't even have a $65 horse in it.
I wish he would have pointed out how in Last Epoch you can name each item stash tab, color code them, and even organize them into groups. Do they think I am not smart enough to remember where I put things? Do they think I am a child who needs things sorted by colors? 🤢
Yes, and no
..... you can rename and sort tabs in d4 too.
@@megajeremy5616 what? why would you do that if u only have 5?
@@mantie7 didn't say I would. But op talked as if you couldn't. But you can, which makes it an invalid criticism.
@@megajeremy5616 Ye okay, let me rephrase it. why does blizzard allow you to color and sort the unbelievable high number of 5 stash tabs. Sounds nonsensical to me
Thanks for reminding me, I'm gonna play some Last Epoch tomorrow.
I hope they fixed all the issues before the final release. The game is good, but I had a lot of issues... disconnections, slow level loading, rubber banding, lag, so UI bugs. I contacted them many times and they ended up ignoring my emails after they couldn't find out what the cause of the problem was.
Sounds like WiFi issues
I been playing early access for a month+ now and never experienced any DC or rubber banding, no lag either. The only issue that i also had is the loading screen when you click it doesn't take you to the loading screen instantly, but i looked up why that was happening and they explained in-depth why and said they re-worked most of the multiplayer aspect from the ground up to fix that issue and prepare it for the launch when 1.0 arrives.
Sounds like shit pc and wifi
Pretty much all connection issues, unlikely to be the game's fault. But even if it were, you can play offline and they'll go away.
Preordering the Ultimate edition now. As a man who lost his childhood to Diablo 2, I think I'll have fun with this game.
Could've been a good game but they made it only Double-A with that $35 price tag
I only say AAAA UBISOFT
Even if they up it to 200 to be the first AAAAA game it would be more successful than d4
I played Last Epoch during EA way too much. I made a Tank/Brawler Druid Werebear. A force of nature to be reckon with. There was no online mode in EA, so I played offline. I am going to re-create same character in online when the game is out. Can't wait. Last Epoch imho has the best shape shifter character archetype when it comes to aRPGs. Even better than D2 & D4. I do hope Last Epoch (just like BG3) will win some rewards for games released in 2024. I mean this is imho the best candidate for best aRPG of 2024.
LE is super fun however i really do hope the LE endgame gets shifted slightly. or trade really helps it not be as tiring so fast. however LE is an amazing stepping stone for someone intimidated by poe, really helped me get into poe and understand it. I will play both more however when i get bored of poe i swap my strat, that type of thing doesnt exist in LE YET. trade could spice things up
Cycle 2 will probably be where they start coming out with new things for end game. 1.0 is really just a formality release. They had to draw the line somewhere and what better time than when they've finished 3 mysteries per class.
Was waiting for this reaction 😭
I really like last epoch except for these two things:
Hitboxes seem off sometimes. Sometimes the mobs are hard to click on, which I've never experienced before.
Combat doesn't feel as hard hitting. I'm only level 30 rn though
combat is better than D4 I have found the feeling of getting more powerful way better than any Diablo game. Last Epoch is way better than D4 it is what D4 should have been. the best part is it is cheaper and has more content at launch than D4 has after 3 season's.
Come back once u r lvl 100
Yeah the combat is pretty clunky, animations are pretty bad and they regularly bug out.
Lost Ark set a very high standard for ARPG combat, animations and visuals going forward and it seems no developer has paid any attention to it whatsoever.
LoA might be a mess in many areas but combat specifically is not one of them and I cannot say I feel all that excited watching Last Epoch's stiff animations, dried out visuals and fairly average combat mechanics after having experienced Lost Ark's.
There's a whole lot of cope and ignorance going on not just from Diablo fans but arpg fans as a whole; Seems like people are so focused on hating on D4 and praising PoE2 (and now LE due to D4's situation) that nobody's asking themselves why all of them look years behind Lost Ark even though everyone trashtalks it for running on UE3 still.
@@krixtoreiLost Ark combat is phenomenal. The GFX artists need to be commended as the animations are by far the best in the ARPG genre. A lot of misses with the game in other areas but the GFX department slaps.
i cant even look at d4 gameplay anymore it reminds me the soulless experience i had when the game launched.
too many options to think about & thinking is for turboNERDS,
gigachads dont think gigachads just do
"I was elected to LEAD, not to READ" comes to mind... :D
Woo Last Epochs getting noticed! As someone whis played it for a few years and got into the CT program, in really hyped for the release. The devs are working CONSTANTLY on everything to get it ready for release and it shows. Highly recommend people to pick it up and give it a shot
Last epoch was in early access before Diablo 4 was a thing. How did blizzard miss
I love sarcastic video reviews, they're so honest and wholesome!❤
Def spent 100 on D4 regretted it and still haven’t used or probably will ever use that season token. What a joke of a company.
They accomplished their mission. Whose laughing at who.
Nah buddy. You are the joke.
@@JohnSmith-fx2mz yup. I have 0 sympathy for anyone that paid for D4. They had ample warning blizz would fk it up. It's not like they haven't fked up wow and overwatch already
These people deserve to keep getting scammed until they finally stop living in the past
Same.. 100 bucks ill never get back..
Fell into the fomo like a garbage can blizzard fanboy,well deserved getting farmed
Well, the best thing about D4 for me is that there is 0 endgame, so you can just clear T100 with ease without even lvl 15 glyphs or any uber items and 3 shot lilith for the 3rd time and then quit and get back to your life which is much more important. Blizzard understands how important that is for consumers because if we just play game all day and make no money we can't buy their next xpac.
True
D3 had more indicidual skill options than D4......
Cant even cast 4 dull looking spells in d4 without panting "out of mana"
Loving the magic and the world of LE
Watched this vid last night and I was so excited to see you react to it
There is no WASD movement option in LA((
Despite numerous requests from players, some even with health issues, devs blocks WASD mechanic that ALREADY in the game, we cant do it like in Undecember, because devs intentionally made cursor disappear when the controller is connected, huge dislike for this!
It’s a pity that the developers chose the side of inadequate "click-to-move" fans, whose arguments are simply nonsense, they are the main reason that the genre does not evolve, ARPGs become more ACTION-RPGs when it is possible to move with WASD, with click-to-movie combat remains clumsy, inconvenient and ridiculous. Click-to-move fans using keyboard for flasks, skills, etc. According their logic, they shouldn’t use it, everything can be done with the mouse, just need a skill!
Last epoch is way better than diablo 4 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i love it when he says, wait those toons seem to be using same abilities as d4 so they must have been stolen, lol, when in fact, last epoch has been a live early access game for like 4-5 years, so guess now who INSPIRED the other
Blizzard is dead; some ridiculous people are in charge there, having no idea what they are doing. As a result we have this flop called Diablo 4
$35 can’t even buy a horse in D4.
Because nobody likes knowing there's something better they could be doing with their time.
This game is an example how you should slap a company like Blizzard.
You can even select your gear attribute stats come on .......... players will feel like they are in full control to their crazy game builds. Praying for the whole team of Last Epoch.
I enjoyed D4 Season 2, after hating Season 1... and I tried season 3, I WANTED TO LIKE IT SO BAD. I made it to level 20 before falling asleep at my keyboard.
Will be trying LE because this looks legit.
I only enjoyed the beta a little bit with max lvl 25 (closed beta), everyone was farming this overleveled (lvl 31ish) mob that kept respawning, for items :D after the launch, pre-Season, it was so terrible, no endgame, just some boring ass basic dungeons without any difficulty at all. They forgot to finish the game after coding early game.
I love that you went for the same sarcastic humor to react to this video, really fits
Now I wanna buy LE now even though I have never played a game like this D:
It is trash. 1m coppies sold for a reason. Hey worth the price tag but not gonna be better than POE2.
It’s definitely worth it, buy it.
I'm 90 hours in and loving it. Most hype I been for a game release in a very long time.
@@maccawacca69 u know one million is a big number right. Especially considering it was a self published title.
@@Gaminggamer45 made by a bunch of ARPG enjoying game devs that only knew each other over Reddit, and then made the game mostly remotely.
The Lootfilter is the best I've seen in any game, you even can share it with other players in an easy and convenient way.
Sounds horrible
Blizzard should call Diablo 4 a AAAA game. That will get players back for sure
Last Epoch is to Diablo 4 just how Paralives is to The Sims.
Thank you so much to these developers showing greedy companies that you can have a good quality game without charging for every little update to their game.
Haven't heard of Paralives before, thanks for mentioning it!
Diablo IV player here. I bought LE and a supporter pack and I can't wait for it to finally hit 1.0. More games = more fun.
2:36 A plasma flamethrower that explodes? LOL WHOA.
1 skin in diablo cost as much as Last Epoch 😂😂😂
non è vero il cavallo di diablo 4 costa quanto 2x last epoch, ridicola blizzard
As a lifelong D2 fan, I'm very excited to play last epoch
I would gladly buy another version of LE if I had another computer the only thing I love is when the loot filter glitches out and sometimes you won't see any drops at all I really hope they fix that on 1.0
I've had that "glitch" it's the X key. If you hit it, it turns off all pickups until you hit it again. You, like me, probably hit it on accident (I've done this like 3 times)
You most likely just hit the X key mate
Last Epoch actually respects your time, all builds are viable no matter how you build it, and the devs actually interact with the community
I fucking LOVE last epoch, it’s literally better than D4 in every way
@@Gavinbelson You really care about pvp in an ARPG??
@@Gavinbelson LE Focused on the aspects of a ARPG that people actually play....
@@Gavinbelson Idk, i don’t really care about it so i never checked
1:04 may be the best shade ever thrown with the background gameplay
The talk about stash and making players choose what to keep and what to sell, that sounded exactly like what you would hear from a Blizzard design team meeting. Some design lead or producer is just going to walk in and say, "that's what the game is all about (referring to making players constantly struggle with choices)"
Diablo 4 wurde nach dem Video ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert!! Zustand bewusstlos 😂😂
i said it before the seasons even started.
1. loot filter
2. talents or items that will change the mechanics of a skill. multi shots, bigger projectiles, faster, elemental .explosion whatever.
there's still none after 3 seasons.
0:12 All twelve of us!
This game doesn't even have a 70 dollar horse cosmetic.. utter shite
Combat in LE is really not very good.
Missile weapons and ranged magic pass through mobs doing no damage. Monster reactions frames too late, not timed with the actions and combat has no impact. Feels like hitting and punching a sponge.
All this might be fixed for launch. But at the moment the minute to minute gameplay of LE is pretty weak.
Still 200x better than diablo 4
I dont have this problem even if i did that is a fixable issue.. and the best part is it is cheaper and has more content at launch than D4 has after 3 season's.
I think LE is pretty average. it has some good things, it has some bad things, but mostly it is just very avarage.
It seems to me that all this hype is less about last epoch being good but instead its mostly about D4 bad.
@@cl1489 \I agree it has far more potential and will probably be much better in no time. But at the moment. IN terms of combat gameplay - which is what I (and I suspect most) spend 80% of their time doing, I find LE the weakest of all ARPG's I've tried ion the last 30 years. And I think I've tried all of the well known ones from Sacred through Dungeon Siege, Torchlight 1 and 2 (and Eternal), Space Siege, D1, 2, 3 and 4 PoE, Titan Quest and my current favourite Grim Dawn.
Personally I find the combat in LE quite a bit weaker than any of those.
Fixable for sure, and maybe mostly fixed by launch as the developer update mentioned most of these issues. Fingers crossed it is/ :)
I wouldn't even play D4 if Blizzard paid me the full price of their shitgame.
35bucks? Sounds like a game you wouldn't mind spending a bit more for limited items or some cosmetics. Probably gonna give this one a go, D4 is so bland I am struggling to make it to 100 currently, I just bail after about 1 or 2 levels every night.
Because it's a bland game with pretty visuals. Nearly zero engagement from the player required
The best part is it is cheaper and has more content at launch than D4 has after 3 season's.
Bought it last night and started playing the beta, graphics aren't as polished as poe or d4 but its not a big deal. The paths for the campaign is pretty linear, much less of an open word than it is essentially a dungeons that the story flows through. The skill and class trees are freaking sweet though, im only lvl15 so far but having a blast on my mage. A lot of it works a bit different to diablo and getting my head around it is the main reason I'm playing before release.
LE has been in development for 11 years now, 6 of them with fans.
So I would expect that everything the players want would be in the game.
The team is very competent, and they find meaningful solutions rather than just doing what people say.
i like all arpg, why would you need to hate one, poe and D4 and LE all got their strenghts, i had not that much fun in S3 of D4 but future can be bright, never lose the hope. And the poe2 future is sure bright, Last Epoch we got to see how good seasons will be.
watch the video maybe
D4 bad gets a lot of blizzard hate drone views
Imagine getting better stash tabs and a built in loot filter. D4 and poe both needs to take notes. This is why we who love arpgs love competition.
I wish i could play LE but i dont have a PC..😢
They have an offline mode that u can play on steam deck iirc if u have those...maybe u can play after all
@Aaron-jo4vs I dont..I have a ps5 and an Xbox series S..now I have to buy a PC..probably a laptop..money is tight tho so it's going to have to wait..
I play both games (D4 and LE). While D4 has sadly much less options to build the char, I find the fighting (how it "feels") still better in D4, The looks, The feeling of the open world, not generlocked etc.
So I wish for D4 to get some systems from LE and I am omega happy :)
OR get LE an engine/graphic update, Char creation etc.
So yea, hope the best for both games.
The skill tree argument is stupid. In the end everyone turns into a meta slave and goes by a S tier guide.
Titan Quest and Grim Dawn made this class system perfect and " Last Epoch " used it to make it from lokal/coop action RPG too public Action RPG and alternate it to D4 and PoE. Grim Dawn has much better playstyle as D3 and D4 in opinion and get much more life support all over the years the only critism of Grim Dawn is the UI does not corret scale on UWQHD Resolution.
sad part about this video is people cant understand sarcasm and will believe this is a video promoting d4
First last epoch and then fangs of Asterkarn. Damn good start of 2024
Bro I'm having a blast with last epoch, anyone else?
yep same
yep
Me too since there is an actual end game
I feel like Diablo 4 devs never bothered to study their competition, and even if they wanted to, their corporate managers would not permit "wasting company time" on such pointless activities. Diablo 4 is all about milking the nostalgia players for every last dollar, they don't care about anything else, only the money
there are still diablo 4 players?
about 8 of them.
Nah there is only 7 of them left. The 8th died of a heart attack having found one of the 1:900.000.000 uber uniques @@Foatizenknechtl

Mabye 100k peak daily
I can't coming back until a loot filter is implemented. I don't want to sort bullshit after work. I just wanna kill mobs and upgrade shit. sorting inventory seems like a job.
The main reason D4 players would hate LE because it's the way D4 should have been
Last epoch having ACTUAL crafting compared to literally every other ARPG is a massive reason why last epoch is going to be/is amazing
Picking skills in Lost epoch skill trees looks more stressful then picking toppings in a pizza.
its not. its fairly simple, just have to read a little.
@@michaelbryan5910 read?
It’s actually really easy, as long as you have a 9th grade reading level.
Ok thanks
Last Epoch has been out for like a year since the beta and they have been working hard to fix issues and turned out really good. Nice devs all around really.
Lost Ark was pretty good and Ive spent a good ammount of time on it, more than I would like to admit to be honest and was one of the firsts to have the golden terpeion mount or whatever it was called. The issue with the game from my perspective was that even when I completed every daily and weekly including raids on 6 characters each week I couldnt keep up with the gold, it was quite ridiculous. A legendary book I needed for my skills costed around 20k I think and I needed "just" 20, and of course for a 2nd skill aswell. Not sure how much money Ive made each week (its been already too long ago but I guess 10k maybe ?).
What also pissed me off was the fact they released only a class each few months or did they even up it to 2 ? I dont remember. Anyways In a game where you have to play 6 characters for dailys and weeklys to farm gold and ressources its quite frustrating if you cant really play the classes you want. Of course you could also just create 6 sorcs for example but that doesnt feel right.
Its sad because I think Lost Ark combat wise is top notch. Sadly if I stop a game like Lost Ark / MMO it will be a long time until I even think about playing it again (you have to relearn alot). I probably would fail now on all raids lol because I have forgotten most of the stuff.
So IMO releasing classes bit by bit was the worst thing they could do ...
But I guess I digress a bit because the video is not really about Lost Ark, but it was mentioned in the video and it just triggered me ^^.
And Iam super glad I didnt buy into the hype of D4. I think even D3 is a better game, if they could just fix the itemization (10000% or whatever dmg. to only certain skills is just stupid design, but as a whole the game is much better).
Iam holding my breath for PoE 2 and the MMO from Riot Games, I think both will be great.
"Last Epoch could figure out leaderboard so fast?"
They forgot to load the (free and unlimited) stash tabs of all the players on the leaderboard when you enter the town.
I like d4 but last epoch looks super fun and has more depth. D4 seems like something I pick up every other season or whenever they add more content to make the end game an actual endgame lol. D4 is pretty to look at but below the surface it's stale and has me staring at the screen when I realize I have to go farm for more materials. By level 100 I'm leveling glyphs and looking for uniques. Nightmare dungeon 100 and Lilith shouldn't be my absolute end goals.
What is also bad in Last Epoch is that you can actually target farm the super mega rares, that doesn't make any sense at all..
We should call bad Triple A game with quadruple A game from now
I'm still waiting for them to deliver the other two A's from my supposed triple A game.
Don’t forget that this game was already in early access wayyy before D4. I was playing last epoch during the lockdown xD
I'm a die-hard Diablo fan, been playing since the beginning. The new season for D4 just dropped and I haven't played a single minute of it LOL. I don't even MISS playing D4 because there is NOTHING to miss. I played the closed end-game beta and all the other betas until release and was personally asked to give feedback on the game, etc. since I've played an unhealthy amount of Diablo over the last 2+ decades. I gave them a TRUCKLOAD of information, suggestions, things to add, things to take away, etc. to make the game rewarding and fun to play AND last a long time. Exactly ONE of these was implemented and nothing else. They should have listened to me. I've been PC gaming since 1984 and KNOW what makes a game "good" and keep a huge player base for a long time. Oh well! How does a multi-billion-dollar gaming developer fail so hard? Needless to say, I and the crew will be playing Last Epoch. Looks pretty fun and full of what makes an RPG game good. Lightyears ahead of D4.
Yeah, this was a funny/great video. I hope Blizz watches it and says to themselves "What does this guy/players know about good games?" and then CONTINUES to drive their company into the dirt where it belongs.
Oh, I almost forgot.... Diablo 4 had TONS of beta testing and input by players. It cost $100 for the game. Upon official release, it was a giant pile of dog shht and still is. I have convinced all my friends across all platforms to completely STOP supporting this company. Do not buy or play their games from now on. Not playing ANY of the games they currently own. Telling everyone THEY know to do the same thing. This is the ONLY way to not waste your time on the same cut-and-paste BS they produce and force them to address their products if they are going to survive.
After the fact 6:08 aged so poorly, Last Epoch was the game that made Blizzard make the biggest changes they have ever done in one of their games. This new season is pretty decent because of it.
