Thanks for watching!
On this channel, I discuss topics like RPGs, CRPGs, JRPGs, FFXIV, Baldur's Gate 3, Diablo 4, Path of Exile, Elden Ring, MMOs, World of Warcraft, and gaming industry news.
Yes, yes I am jealous...
May gaming karma bless us with glorious luck, and curse the braggart.
You not the only one
Only 1 more week :)
Of us? The first timers? Be my first arpg too
Yep, me jealous too
Gives Diablo 4 a break it's their first time making an exile-like game :((((
and then they made a dead mmoarpg that is boring instead of exile like game
Diablo 4 is still living rent free
@@KingDarkness100It's hard to forget a steaming pile of stinky liquid shit on a plate for 70$ + 30$ expansions and no items less than 20$ in mtx store after waiting for a sequel for over a decade after being fed empty promises.
Ofc it's rent free, that's how dog shit it is it's impossible to forget or ignore
@@olchum7605and a title boss that never appear, even so the brother we never get to fight in the expansion
@@KingDarkness100 How is it rent free if we are discussing the niche? words have meaning.
I can vouch for Drops on this.
Oh hey- fancy seeing you here.
Control your Jealousy.. I say to myself.. 7 more days and we can all play 🙏🏼 I can’t wait!
Yes, a real Legendary Name Drop I'd say😀
Dude, you should cover POE as well. The lore is actually very interesting. Completely different setting from what we usually get in fantasy.
Drops is a hilarious nickname
This game will change my life
The legend himself. Never thought I’d see the day Asmongold made a DarthMicrotransactions alt account
INB4 dmpoe2
Asmon reference?
Asmon is gold.
I am looking forward to Asmon's frustration, failures and hissy fits as he learns to be mediocre at POE2.
Larian and GGG making the rest of the industry look like complete and utter garbo.
Exposing the rest of the industry as****
Garbo slandered again
Hey don't forget coffeestain! : P
Western Industry
Don't forget FromSoftware
This game is what arpgs needed to evolve beyond D2.
No Rest For The Wicked's twist on the genre is great too. But we shall see what the game becomes in the future.
@@AlesMicik That game is an isometric souls-like, far from an arpg.
@@joelhodoborgas I think an hybrid between No Rest For The Wicked and POE2 would be the perfect fit for me. More emphasis on combat gameplay and less on complex systems. Never liked ARPGs because I couldn't the mouse clicking combat gameplay, so POE2 looks like the perfect evolution for me. However, even with the improvement, I doubt the combat is gonna be as interesting as games that focus on that. I'll be very glad if I am wrong though.
This will have a short life once Grim Dawns expansion comes out.
@@QuickBiscuit12i love GD but theres no way you actually believe that 😅
"Path of Exile 2 doesn't just promise an evolution, it delivers one" nerd chills dude, I'm so stoked!
"Nerd Chills" is such a good description. Top comment. Have a good day mate.
GGG better get those servers covered in fire retardant cladding or the community will melt them to slag trying to log in.
It will happen not surprise, its not possible not to have server issue with so many people out there trying to. Its ok as long as its doesnt last 1 day, if its only the first night its ok it has to be expected.
you can bet the game will have serious server issues at launch, and the narrative will grab unto it. it will be the only coping point for the industry so they will abus3 the fk out of it
This comment is S+++ tier and so true LMAO xD
PoE1 was tutorial island for GGG’s server infrastructure.
expect GGG to handle this perfectly fine. Several issue at the launch and then lots of updates and at the end with the content, the quality of it, the community will react properly because this community is mature.
"Finally I'm the target audience"
baldy
I will be spending a LONG time with this game. These woke AAA developers can keep on destroying their IPs and make record lost woke games, I couldn't care less.
There's not only 6 classes that they will add later, but also TWENTY FOUR ascendancies we haven't seen yet
Not only that, but we haven't even seen the weapons associated with some of those classes yet, like flails
Brooo ;-; hoping something occultist like comes back but those extra class ascendancies per class is scary
as a New Zealander, im just so glad and proud of GGG
All the best to you and your fellow citizens. I don't know if I will ever be able to visit New Zealand. If I do, I would love to stop by and just honor the dedication of the whole crew of GGG.
Kiwi here, I bought the Gold supporter pack back in 2012 and it's amazing to see how far GGG has come. I'll proudly rock my gold kiwi pet in PoE2.
Peace to your brethren for bringing us nerds joy this holiday season!
As an Aussie it's awesome to see our New Zealand cousins doing so well!
I haven't played an APRG since Diablo 2, but goddamn I am so stoked for this!
Same here! Just fyi as a PoE 1 veteran, it’s widely understood that GGG will make *drastic* changes over the run of early access. If we run into problems, they change them quickly. So I expect a LITTLE bit of a turbulent start as we discover bugs and imbalances, along with rapid patching and changes. I cannot wait!
@@nixedgaming 10k players on poe? More ppl play tetris
you can also expect regular wipes, so don't be surprised if your character is gone after some time. Keep an eye on the updates and patch notes.
They're all the same so you actually didnt missed anything, lol
@@rainerzufall1337 They don't wipe you go from season to standard.
So if you don't like starting over just play in standard and you can keep your characters forever.
Exile-Like will be an amazing genre
PoE-Like sounds better tbh.
@@GlockProductionz both FAR better than fuckin Diablow-like
@ don’t agree… but I am pretty sure we agree both are far better than Diablow-Like
I think it's incredibly important to support this team. We all constantly complain about dev studio's and how they half ass everything and here's our opportunity to support a studio who actually wants to give us what we want unlike most devs nowadays. We need to take care of them like they are taking care of us by providing a quality game. I'm definitely buying the early access version just to support
Bro they are getting enough money from the overprized mtx don't worry
It's incredible how customer friendly they are. You can just email their customer service and get your problems sorted very quickly. You can even email them about game mechanics or post on the forums and the devs themselves reply.
@@KingDarkness100 You're certainly entitled to feel that way. I still think its important to support them. I agree that some of the stuff is overpriced. I just avoid those and give what makes sense for me.
@@dreamdeckup Yet another reason to support them. These types of studios are rare unfortunately.
100% shame on the rest of this industry of weak, entitled posers
Dude! Stop it! The wait is bad enough as it is!
Ive never been so excited to pay for something thats free
hahahahaha, indeed!
That was how I felt with PoE1. If 2 is at least as good, my wallet and life is in danger.
"Elden ring, balder gate step-up" STOP IT, MY HYPE CAN ONLY GET SO ERE**!
did you yet see the cinematic video they made for poe 2 ? i believe it should be on cornhub lol
Elden ring is a visual greatness but gameplay is nothing special and super clunky. The world is empty and boring, the bosses reused... How can it even be compared to bg3?
@@abc-yg6tkgo be stupid somewhere else
@@abc-yg6tk That means you don't like this type of game then. I really disliked very difficult games, but Elden ring blew my mind. The combination of the extremely engaging combat with a beautiful mysterious world where story telling is distilled through exploration, made me obsessed with the game until the very end.
Let the video game renaissance begin!
I'm 57 and have never played a game like this. I'm so afraid I'll be lost and won't know how to play it.
I'm gonna learn how and grind my ass off.
This game will be be updated for years to come, get lost and enjoy it...I know I will. It's going to be one of the best games ever made
Enjoy the ride and welcome to the PoE family.
Stay sane, exile.
It will be a journey just log in and let yourself in, be lost and the moment of discovery will bring the greatest satisfaction. Be a child and you' ll never stop discovering again. That's what I hope from this game. There are not so many games that can deliver that.
@juozasmalaskevicius3634 this is why I always loved video games.
@@Deeked and I love the "fear" in new things. Those things just hits you in a good way :) I am "just 37" but man I have never felt hype soooooooooooooo high for a video game for a loooooong time. The bar is set very high and I really really really hope GGG will deliver, beacause I want to feel good loggin in and findingnall the stuff. Good luck fellow gamer on Dec 6th.
Just started playing POE 1 for the 1st time this week. I was always curious about trying Diablo but never did. Then I started to see videos about POE 2. It looks amazing so I decided to try the 1st game. I got hooked immediately.
As our lord and saviour Chris Wilson from GGG said:
"Once you reach maps, we got your soul"
…. Maps was where I was like damn I went on to defeat so many bosses and shock people on my first season 😅been hooked since I wana learn the market
Let us know how's it going past act 7 tho and if you're still playing :3.
I've always stopped at maps, finished Kitava like a dozen times or so, maybe f2p on Xbox and all the item junk and Xbox controls just puts me off 😂@@mrw0lf364
Big PoE fan here. I feel like a kid the night before Christmas, and I'm a grown-ass adult. Hearing how much you liked the game heightens the hype even more.
Me too bro, my first arpg at 46 too.. I don't how I'm going to have a decent sleep till after Dec 6 arrives
absolutely fcking same here
Imagine releasing a game of this quality for free. GGG knows how to market and relies on the love from the player base to support them. This is the model other companies should try and learn from
I have avoided allowing myself to get hyped for games for many years. I’m just gonna let it happen here, feels good. Early Christmas.
A breath of fresh air for mature gamers, and by mature I don't mean old. Adults creating games for adults instead of worrying about making a game "suitable for everyone".
Trust me there are a lot og 50-60+ dudes waiting with the patience of a kid in a candy store for the game to unwrap next week... 55 here and i can't wait ;-)
For many years my love for videogaming was met with four studios.
- "Grinding Gear Games" with "Path of Exile 1" (and now PoE2)
- "Larian Studio" with "Baldur's Gate 3" (and Divinity)
- "Klei Entertainment" with "Don't Starve Together" (and Don't Starve)
- "Owlcat Games" with "Warhammer 40k - Rogue Trader" (and Pathfinder)
All mentioned developers are indie, but they make incredible good games.
Might be a chance that Larian might be AAA eventually, but that's probably for the best. We need a high-budget studio to actually use their money right for once, and I think BG3 shows that Larian can do just that.
@@BigBoiUltra3741 I mean, they were independent and a lot of funding came from Swen himself. They are probably the indie studio closest to any AAA one.
Don’t starve together is so good
Sorry, but I can't agree with Baldur's Gate 3. The game's quality drops off a cliff from act 2 to 3. The devs straight up admit that act 3 isn't finished and never will be finished. Larian intentionally put all the worst parts of their game in the finale they knew most people wouldn't play (but would still sing the game's praises). I can't forgive them for that and I am extremely wary of the next Divinity game, especially since one of their top executives is a big fan of Dragon Age The Failguard.
@@beasthaven1571 I would argue one of the top games, period, but not many ppl know about it.
Considering the title, it seems like GGG has been stacking quite a bunch of Shock Effect
Can't wait for POE2! The game that made Diablo 4, #poelite

Oh, a free game 19 days early”
“To be left alone for 10 days straight.”
"To never work again"
It's not free for a while lol
The FAQ on the POE website says they expect the game to release in 2025, with early access lasting at least 6 months.
GGG were using assets from second game to add monsters/bosses/enviroments to PoE 1 leagues, for 2 years i could tell "this mob is from poe 2!" Really cool approach
For only 30.00 I wouldn't miss this early access for anything. Just hope the servers can handle what's coming.
I really doubt it, and im not even going to be mad if it happens (ok i will just a little, but because i wanna play it so bad), but if GGG for some reason can deliver without any major problems it´s gonna be a miracle, the thing is, i trust them so much that i believe it is something they might pull off, but it´s gonna be insane so if it has problems i will understand.
It will be a miracle if anyone gets to play December 6th, no matter how prepared GGG is, it's gonna be an avalanche. Don't hold your breath.
Agree. GGG has been really good at server stability for PoE the last 2 years of launches (lag in Europe aside), but I'd be surprised if we can play consistently the first day.
I fully expect the launch to bring 800k+ players day 1 and it will likely be rough.
@@jordi6153seems like the Poe veterans are here hi guys. The scary part is once you get in past the queue time… the fear of getting dced and putting back in the queue eventually they get the servers right each league but Jesus I just wana play so bad!!
I played early Path of Exile and GGG have learned alot.
But the game is now a behemoth of systems and PoE2 looks like product of all their knowledge.
I love how articulate yet simple you are mate! Keep going bro
Love your enthusiasm. :) December 6th pleeeeeeease come!
EDIT: Champions of Norrath mentioned. Speaking of ARPG genre improvements....man, what I would give to have a free camera like Champions of Norrath in a modern ARPG. It would feel so good with WASD (V Rising was close). Champions of Norrath was so special, ahead of its time IMO.
Victor Vran is fun. It has WASD, a camera you can rotate, and even a jump button.
CoN greatest game of the PS2 era for sure
Don't underestimate sound design. Great sound design is one of the things that made Battlefield "Battlefield" and so immersive. Animes like "Frieren" and "Violet Evergarden" would be lesser if it wasn't for the masterpieces that Evan Call created for them. Even what some might think a throw-away show "As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World" is elevated by good use of seemingly perfect BGM.
As someone who has never played POE 1 I am looking forward to POW 2
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE lol
Prisoner of War 2: Electric Boogaloo?
it's basically gonna be PoW 2 because it's gonna be holding a lot of gamers hostage, in a good way.
Geneva suggestion sayin' we should go outside and touch grass after POW2
one of us one of us one of us
Bro, you are the refreshing air that videogames news needed for a long time now. I'm really glad that i found you, when you started playing Warframe, and i try to watch every video where you talk about these topics. As always, great job.
When you mentioned imagining future games while playing Champions of Norrath I was right there with you. Between that and Diablo 2 my love for arpg’s was solidified. PoE 2 is an absolute love letter to those of us who imagined this day would come. I’m so excited!
CoN and RTA get slept on so hard. Some of the best PS2 games out there
@@sunny3545 Every year I look around the internet just to see if by chance I missed an announcement for the next one or a remaster lol
Now we just need a Warcraft 3 successor
It's sad that one of the best genres died
man i spent countless days of my life playing tower defense with the bois back in the days.... really good times
I was able to play it at Gamescom 2024 in couch coop! It was very similar (if not the same version) to the start they showed in the reveal. It felt so different, prepare to be surprised! We died a shit ton and it strangely reminded me to a Soulslike game as well. And the game is significantly easier to understand than the first one!
When I saw a person get "cross-sectioned" by a laser in one of the videos I knew GGG is still full of people having fun making a game. That's so metal.
I also loved that Jonathan referenced Half Life when talking about not taking control of the camera for cutscenes. Great games like System Shock and BioShock were known for that and they both have stories that stick in my mind.
I think they word you're looking for is bisected.
The way Jonathan (from GGG) talks about PoE2 just screams how much he loves what he does.
that interview you did with Jonathan Rogers made me buy early access, what a legend, we need more people like him
I cannot wait, this game looks absolutely incredible. This is going to be the longest week of my life. I absolutely love this genre of video games. GGG has not disappointed me yet and I dont see that happening anytime soon.
I used to play Baldurs Gate and Champions of Norrath ARPGs with couch coop on the Playstation/Xbox with my brother when we were kids. Can't wait to play POE2 with my bro years later!
One of the greatest games of my childhood
I really am hopeful about this. Been let down by too many games recently.
me too!!
Not sure how the EA launch will land but, given the track record of the devs on PoE1, it’s going to be fantastic by full launch and for many years to come
@Legendary Drops welcome exile, to the world of ggg. Glad to have you with us!
Nothing wrong with Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath being your first isometric ARPGs. Those games are still great to this day. If only Sony cared enough to put out a modernized remaster/remake of Champions of Norrath. Or a new one.
Still have my original copies of Champions of Norrath and Champions: Return to Arms on PS2. What a great series.
The problem with CoN is that the IP isn't solely owned by Sony so they can't do whatever they want with it. Snowblind went defunct so it's kinda lost. I was just talking with my brother about how we wish there was a remaster or remake or CoN 3...
As a massive sound design enjoyer I am excited! Thank you for the pre-review!
It's Diablover...

Gaming news headlines when PoE 2 releases: *_"Path of Exile 2 shouldn't be used to set a new standard for ARPGs. Here's 5 reason why:"_*
1. We're too lazy
2. Takes too much effort
3. We like money more
4. We just can't
5. Fuck you, that's why
I'm glad I have Monk and Witch to keep me busy while I wait for Templar, Huntress, and Shadow.
I’m actually hyped for this
me too, alot!
We all are!
Some of the voice lines in PoE are legendary and have never left me.
The voice acting was great.
I can't even remember a line from D4
TOO. MUCH. BUTTER.
Tripple G, one of the few last companies to release tripple A games these days…
I felt so robbed by Diablo 4, paying the "deluxe" edition, I didn't end up using the free battle pass included. Uninstalled the game & the batllenet launcher. No more Blizzard for me. Hyped for PoE 2 !
Ur gonna lose your mind once you make it past the tutorial and reach maps. Then decide which end game content you wanna focus on… your hooked it’s over you will keep coming back
The most important reason I’ll buy this game is the trust I have in the developers. They’ve earned a reputation for delivering on their promises. I didn’t buy Diablo, but I will buy Path of Exile 2 because, based on their track record, I believe in them. Trust in developers should be the number one thing every gamer considers this decade for AAA dev.
Too many companies lie and fail to deliver, to the point that even Steam is updating its guidelines. I never preorder games-not even Path of Exile 2. I’ll wait for Steam reviews first. This is the way.
2:34 - 2:55
I feel this. I've even called it then O.U.I.(Ocular Unfocus Index).
From initial impressions to the time i find my eyes glazing over, that's my measure of how well a game holds my interest.
You should listen to the exilecon 2023 talks that ggg posted. There’s one on music and sound design and it really shows how dedicated they are to the sound design you praised in the video. They are awesome!!
I'm just trying to level myself in preparation. The amount of hype for this game is similar to the amount of hype there was for D4 before its launch, and we know how that launch went.
I've lost count of how many times I've gotten hyped up for a live service game just to be disappointed in some way after its launch, whether it be login delays, performance issues, half-delivered content, etc. I hope PoE2 will be the outlier.
The problem with D4 launch is it's basically untested and the game gradually changed from how it was promised, to feel like D2. This game was already tested by numerous streamers and actual PoE1 players and the feedback was good.
The difference is that Diablo 4 was made by a tired studio that is a shell of its former self wearing the skin of the legends that came before them. PoE2 is being made by a studio that has stuck to one game for over a decade now and has at no point in those 12 years stopped raising the bar.
Trusting GGG is like trusting FromSoftware. They're one of the few on the TINY list of developers that "never miss".
Guarantee poe2 will deliver end game promise the boss fights of Poe was incredible for me I played for a long time. Some of the deaths were hard but I learned oss mechanics and tried to get better u til I beat the boss.. poe2 took it to the next level. So I’m hyped but only because I know GGG delivers. This isn’t a Diablo game this will be the poe2 I imagined.
But blown out from what I ever thought.
The crazy part they made it so much easier to learn for non pro build players while also keeping high skill ceiling for late game.
The F2P life is going great with Warframe and now this
Ohh I'm so yelly....
And I totally get the sound design point
I still get chills thinking about parachuting in during the bad company 2 demo
That's an old memory, thanks for the reminder, loved it too! Especially the Vietnam DLC!!
Champions of Norrath mentionned, today is a good day
That and Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance were so fucking fun to play with the boys. Loot goblin vibes
My favorite PS2 game. We had to ban crit multishot ranger because it was too oppressive to play with 😅
man you are giving me goosebumps! only 7 more days my dudes, only 7 days...

14:48 PoE2 is bringing me back to when I was 12 playing D2 and thinking of all the cool ways things could interact. Took over 20 years but I am so F'ing ready.
Haha! The intro is sooo good XD
7 days and 54 minutes left boys
First Cyberpunk 2077 (granted, it took quite some time with this one, but Phantom Liberty was when it all came together), then BG 3, now PoE 2 - my most fav genres were really blessed as of lately.
I am living in good times.
God I hate to be that guy buy I keep on hearing it and I can't hold it in. They get hanged. It's an exception in English when you hang someone, they are hanged, not hung. :D
Hey, they might be hung too, you don’t know ;)
As a non-native english speaker, I appreciate you!
The cool part about this game you can elemental combo each other's elements in co op now thats innovation
You know there will be queue times and waiting 1-2 hours to enter.
Appreciate you talking about sound design. These games are often so repetitive that I just mute them unless bossing where I need to hear an audio notification.
Still sane, Exile-like?
Dark and gritty is what I like. Just like the music I listen to. I'm proud to live just up the road from the studio.
I am actually one of the few people who always look for deep universe, lore and great story even in ARPGs. You can imagine that I was not satisfied often in this regard when it comes to this genre. But holy hell am I glad PoE2 will deliver.
Hopefully PoE2 will be the first ARPG with a good story since a long time.
Dude your not alone. I actually enjoy the campaign and exploring its world up to the last corner far more than endgame automated maps.
This! All of this! Everything you said resonates with me because I think the same thing. Watching a full run you can see the quality in everything, even on the floor! It's incredible everything they've done
I cannot stress it more, the 30$ price tag is not just a ticket for early access, you get full 300 worth of point to spend in MTX shop. It just simply you buy 300 point and get early access ticket as bonus. I am confident PoE 2 will keep a fair monetization practices, as they already shown in past 10 years in PoE 1 and I am a 10 year old PoE player.
What kind of stuff do the points buy?

HAPPY YOU GOT TO PLAY >:[
I man... the sound design.
Last time I played it at Gamescom, the sits they gave you were also a subwoofer.
THEM THUNDERS!
In all honesty for me the deal breaker were the WASD controls. I'm pretty used to the isometric camera and mouse movement control, moreover I'm pretty good at it, however PoE 1 controls always felt really awkward and clunky for me, hence why I did not really enjoy playing the game mechanically. And since I don't enjoy that I can't really force myself to get into the other systems. So I'm really glad they went for the WASD thing and that I get to play the game in a much more convenient manner. I'm likely going to purchase the supporter pack from the get go.
Agree 100% with you. Just be careful "deal breaker" means you don't like it.
Just FYI deal breaker means like deal off meaning made you not want to play for example. I think what you was trying to say is "what sealed the deal" that means what was the thing that locked you into the "deal" and wanting to play.
You got me on the first half 😂
Bro! Just wanna say ; Keep up your great work! Love your video's
But....but....they told me you RUclipsrs are grifters that trash games and cause people to hate them and their developers ! What is all this....positivity and...and....hype and joy for a GOOD game ? Also, yes I am jealous. Thanks man, can't wait for the game !
This seriously makes me so happy dude for real. Grinding gear games deserves this they f****** deserve this win
absolutely. In the last decade a lot of companies lost their sharpnes. They are afraid of getting a shitstorm so they produce a product that is bland and soulless without edges and character. It is mostly like a HR aprooved product that no one can be offendet of. but on the other hand no one realy gets exitet of aswell. its a sad world we live in. but maybe we reach the peak of this behaviour.
Hey dude. Been watching your livestreams and you usually nail it on the critical topics on games and identify some great finds! Looking forward to PoE2
by biggest critique about poe 2 is that all content creators allready played it and feed us bits and pieces over 2 weeks while we all have to wait. i dont wanna see spoilers but... brain says click the damn video
The biggest stuff gonna be the endgame, and the content creators didnt delve in that territory, im 100% sure the new endgame atlas being infinite and explorable gonna hide some really cool stuff there that we dont know anything about.
This has a similar long forgotten feeling: when I played Diablo for the very first time, there was nothing like it back then when it released.
That feeling is coming back.
I am glad I played POE1 as much as I did, fun exploring my own type of builds and exploring the environments which were vast and the various gem and passives were huge.
I liked "Grim Dawn", I think some of the "feel" of POE2 has been nudged a bit down the "right" path from it and what was explored in POE1.
Legendary Drops, I agree with many things you say and particularly enjoy seeing the glee in what you have experienced in POE2.
GGG has me oddly in their debt to see them spark this joy in you, I am very afraid that I will agree with you and experience the same joy.
I guess I best get my affairs in order and get the Christmas shopping done before Dec 6th.
Man. I was set on waiting for the full release, but everyone is making me want to buy early access now too.
why not, $30 for more content than d4
It's worth it because they give you also coins worth for 30 on top. I would save them for stash sale and buy all necessary stashes to tackle endgame after endgame each league
@@m.h.4907 No, it is worth because the game is worth it, even if it was 100 it would be worth it for anyone who appreciates the genre, no other game in my whole 39 years on this planet gave me more hours of enjoyment than PoE, and i have no reason to believe PoE 2 is gonna be any different, the bonus coins it´s just whatever to be honest.
Thousands of hours I started in 2013. I can't WAIT. I have played a thousand hours of PoE on my ps4/5 and I can't wait to sit back, throw it on and get completely lost, yet still see so much familiarity. Thank you GGG!
So they finally made Diablo.
Diablo 1 was actually a demo game that impressed so much at an expo that they wanted to publish it. Then Diablo 2 was the watered down, its gotta be more kid friendly, finished product. Dont get me wrong, Diablo 2 was epic in its own right but it was very much the pg version of Diablo.
The original Diablo was so visceral. It was terrifying the first time I played it. Gore every where, the enemies were demonic, the lack of vision actually caused fear. The story behind this hell portal was tragic and compelling. You were excited about drops, not because drops are cool, but because that drop meant your character might actually live through whatever hell spawn is behind the next door. It was so epic and compelling it was worth dragging your entire GIANT pc system from your house to your friends on your bike so you could lan it up. It's taken 30 years but it sounds like they finally made the finished product that the original Diablo promised.
Even if it falls short of my expectations I want to thank GGG. Just the excitement about the release has been more fun than I've had in the gaming world for years.
When I heard of that Diablo project that was a Souls-like that Blizzard canceled, I was really sad. I thought it was a reboot of Diablo 1. Thank goodness GGG updated the controls to feel like an isometric Souls(the warrior with a shield at least). And yes, I miss the original Diablo 1 atmosphere as well. I hope PoE2 can bring that in spades.
Diablo 2. Watered down? Kid friendly? Look, I'm a D4bad Andy - but this is a shit take.
@brandonrickner1321 yes. It got a great deal of flak at its release for being to kiddie and cartoonie compared to diablo. And it is. Like I said diablo2 is a great game. I've got at least a masters degree worth of time in it. But compared to diablo it is very soft.
Yeah dude! Champions of norrath was amazing back in the day. We played a lot of gauntlet legends before that too.
Crazy seeing so many CoN fans after playing the game for 20 years and almost never seeing any online presence for it
@sunny3545 evidently a lot of people haven't played it or the first two BG games either.
I'm glad your going down a more positive route for games. So many culture war videos are a pain.
Then the industry needs to stop making games involved in the culture war. Simple.
Problem is he can only report on what’s going on and coming out. Hopefully we can get a streak of good games for a bit.
@@1_underthesunExactly! The truth is the truth. It won’t get fixed if you don’t call it out. It amazes me how people need positivity for the sake of positivity.
There will be more positive videos once the industry getting better.
@@roncrudup2110 Toxic positivity is a real thing. Seems like the OP subscribes to it.
blizzard spent so much money on marketing. the PoE devs have had spent peanuts in comparison and theyvalready have way more people excited than d4 did. at least if feels that way
The thing that made me fall in love with PoE was that there are sooo many different power fantasys to create/play. It is just fun to tinker with skills and find new combienations you have not seen before. Also this is what I am looking forward to in PoE 2
That's what having a passion and true love for your craft will do. Sharing in the experience of the thing we all love and enjoy, gaming. Fluid like Bruce Lee
30 seconds in, "D4 bad". Yep, it's a PoE2 video
So stoked for next week! I have not felt this much excitement in a long long time!
There's only one solution...
*Preordered
No. You dont preorder. Never. Even if the game looks insanely good. You just dont. If you want to play day 1 buy it the minute it releases. Dont make them think they got your money already they dont need to finish their product. Im gonna play it on the 6th too but dont preorder.
Pre-ordering a free-to-play game is certainly a decision lol
Still. Pre-ordering...hell I may pre-order for someone else...this isn't a purchase, it's a statement O_O
@@Rooachie I generally agree with that point but it's not a AAA company that has lost all trust with their fans already, I think in this case I'm going to show my support. I wanna try it and $30 is not much to lose if I don't like it... which I will. 🤣
@@Rooachie 99% of the time, yes, nowadays you should not preorder. However, this is GGG, my friend. They don't deserve to be put in the same box as other companies IMHO, unless they do what you are saying, which they never did in 14 years of Path of Exile (and I don't believe they will, since that would crush the whole trust of the community they have built for over more than a decade).
And to play on the 6th, you must pay $30 (or have spent $480 previously on PoE1). That's why I believe the guy said "preordered."
