I am trying to think if I'd rather play D4 or Last Epoch again.
Last Epoch seems fucked due to being on unity. The game still feels bad to move around in and it has been out for like 2 years.
Diablo 4 feels good to play, it is just a very shallow experience.

I mean PoE1/2 mog both, but I guess I'd play LE over D4.

Bear and werewolf felt good to play but I just couldn't play through the campaign again, it's such a goddamn slog.
I managed to get half-way through act 2 before realizing I have the entire act 3 (the worst part of the campaign) and act 4 left before lategame (which they still haven't fixed yet), so I dropped it
Maybe I'll come back in 0.5 IF they fix the lategame, otherwise I'm waiting for 1.0

D4 is fun for one playthrough and then after that the seasons last you a couple weeks of fun before things get boring again. It's not as bad as Asmon thinks it is, but POE2 has its own problems.

Mostly though this whole genre is just not something you can get the same thing out of as you did when you were 14. Doesn't work.

>>729646196
But act 1 was the worst one? Act 2 is kino. Not a fan of the elias chasing but the final act is also easily the best out of all base game diablos. The final charge through caldeum and into hell was kino.

>>729648226
>PoE2's hard for the sake of hardness philosophy
it's what people wanted, actually
people wanted a "hard, difficult game with meaningful combat where you can't clear the map with a click"

If you want to press one button and win 100% of the time, just go play gachashit.
>>
>>729648338
I don't have a problem with that, except it doesn't really have that. It has it for some of the campaign, especially if you suck, but the campaign is fucking boring after the first few times, and to me is a lot more tedious than poe1's campaign, which was already a big reason I don't bother playing most leagues. Then in endgame it's back to zoomzoom. So they failed in multiple ways (assuming someone wanted le slower gameplay).

I actually find it the best out of all diablos, or well maybe except Diablo 2 because that game is the codifier for diablo lore. It's so refreshing coming from the saturday morning narrative of diablo 3.
Vessel of Hatred is also pretty good, if not a bit TOO long and if you hate Neyrelle, it can be unbearable.
Thankfully diablo 4 allows you to skip the campaign and just jump into end game. PoE2 should do the same and let us jump through maps immediately. With the addition act 4 and interlude, every season is such a slog. Especially since you have to grind out ascendancies too.
>>
>>729648430
quite a lot of people have pointed out that PoE2 has schizo game design and it tries to make like 3 incompatible ideas work simultaneously

Worse yet, all the skill variations and nodes are completely useless because they just add a % on top of another % of it maybe doing more damage.
>>
>>729648747
It's more less like Diablo 2's skill tree. Can't believe people used to shit on D3's skill runes when it offered a ton of experimentation.

It's funny because Diablo 4 has a ton of memberries down to reoccuring d2 npcs and music. Like the tristram, khurast and rogue encampment d2 music plays multiple times in the game. It would have been soulful if not for the fact that it's made by nublizzard.
>>
Torchlight 2 Adventure Mode is fun
>>
Every time I play one of these type of games I end up going through the campaign thinking alright this isn't bad, but there's something missing. Because it's either too easy or too hard. There's never an in-between. Then I get to the so-called endgame and I realise what a pile of shit I'm playing.

Yeah D4 is basically the D2 skilltree done right, but if you hate D2 then you won't like D4. Personally I'd like something inbetween D4 and PoE2. D4 is too simple and straightforward, but PoE2 just wastes your time with a bunch of shitty % nodes.

PoE's skill forest is an illusion because if you're playing a class, you will always beeline to a few select paths everytime. Sure there is nothing stopping you from wasting dozens of points just to make a melee sorceress but you are also just wasting your time and said build is probably just good for non end game maps.

poe2 was fun when it came out and it felt very novel and fresh, it just has no replayability value or end game. you can argue thats what makes a good arpg but if you view it as a 1 time single player experience then i feel like you get your moneys worth for the 30 hours of fun. its a perspective issue
>>
>>729649407
Por has actual skill variations though, ones that you can build yourself all the time.you can make any skill become ridiculous with the right support gems and then change it on the fly if you want.
D4 skills are set in stone until you find an aspect that changes it specifically.

The problem with D4 tree is that the skill you unlock at level 10 will be the same at max level, unless the best build uses an aspect for it.
In PoE2 you can tinker with a new skill from the get go, either with support gems, items or passives.
In D4 items don't do jackshit most of the time, or dictate your whole build, there's no freedom at all. Sure you can min max in PoE2, but there's way more room for experimentation even if it clears a few seconds slower. My problem with PoE2 right now is how the sorcerer feels completely gimped compared to other classes.
>>
>>729650076
At most you probably more or less spent min of 30 dollars to 50 dollars playing poe 2 vs d4's 60. But the thing is that the only thing you will be paying for in d4 is expansions and cosmetics with the latter being fully optional.
Meanwhile PoE2 is built around being a live service mmo with a functioning player economy and you are really gimpinf your player experience by not busying a bunch of stash tabs, merchant tabs, skill tabs, and so on, which is gonna cost you a bit.

How do you get into POE2? I bought it at launch and I think got halfway into Act 2. Trying to find builds is suffering, websites make zero sense and they have you link back 3 different builds to get to that endgame build and the skill selections make no sense incorporating 4 different weapons sometimes for whatever reason. It just isn't fun to play when you spend more time trying to figure out what you're even supposed to attempt to do instead of... Just playing and looting. Even if you think you know what you're doing and you're experimenting, you can just find a YouTube video is somebody doing 80x the damage at half the level you are and instantly any motivation to play is gone.

Yeah I got filtered I guess. No other ARPG has this problem for me. I just wanted to play Spear girl and stab things, but 3 hours in I'm not enjoying it. It got so bad I bought Diablo 2 again just to actually play a game.

Yeah its funny that their notional insistence backfires so badly.
Grim dawn has really good class fantasy. Between the dual classing, damage conversion, and just general absolute maddening number of MIs, epics, and legendaries, you can make an end game viable build out of any "class fantasy".
Hope they buff salazar's sword though, I just tried to make a build that focused on that because it looks cool and holy shit that summon is complete and utter ass

D3 launched with the nephalem valor mechanic, which provided a stacking buff to magic find, gold find, and experience, up to bonus 75%, which you'd then lose if you changed skills, so you were effectively punished for experimenting.

Play Lost Ark and tell me the combat isn't a million times more fun without all the baggage and arpg systems, a Monster Hunter styled game with Lost Ark combat would go so hard.

The gameplay in stuff like Victor vran and the van Hellsing games are obviously superior, but no one cares because there's not the level of itemization or character builds as these other games

As in Diablo 4's movement literally feels snappier with less delay, especially between attacks. You're more easily able to cancel animations as well.
Last Epoch is a AA unity game and feels like it. They make up for it by having a game more complex than D4, but they obviously cannot hit the same polish as Blizzard with their $10,000,000,000 budget.

Not even that. It gets so incredibly fucking repetitive with just 5 skills it's crazy. At least in D2 you had the ability to toggle between several

But D4 is just so fucking empty. Esp after a decade of poe1 (back when it was good before strimmerfgts ruined everything post 2019)

>click leveling build listed
>THIS WIZARD BUILD IS AMAZING FOR LEVELING FIRST TAKE 4 SKILL GEM SLOTS FOR BOOMERANGS AND THEN GRAB THE GRENADE SKILL UNDER THE AK47 M AND SLOT A FLORBU INTO IT FOR MAXIMUM CRED
Why the fuck am I looking at wizard builds with grenades when I want to level a stabbing spear guy? And none of these builds ever explain why. The original guide I clicked on just links it but looks like they pasted the wrong fucking class build.

Is that supposed to be the fun of POE2?
>"yeah dude just pick the druid and go 3 skills into daggers, 1 into wands, another 2 in crossbow, and then go way into staffs and don't ask questions about any of this because I'll never explain it that's your fault for not having 3000 hours in poe1".

Is it a schizo or an insane troll spamming the thread? Anyway, no ARPG can compete with the build autism of POE, so we need more with "real" action combat like Victor Vran and Stranger Of Paradise. Also, we need more games like Dungeon Siege where you control a party.

Unironically the best game in the genre but I have absolutely no interest in playing it again because of how long and slow the campaign is for seasonal play.

I'm optimistic about TQ2 and the GD expansion too. I just think the genre is fun.

>>729652172
I didn't like TQ2 much. It felt more like last epoch than TQ, like the dual classing was fairly superfluous.

Because Japan can't into ARPGs and the west likes gay slow mechs for some reason. Dolls Nest did a pretty good mech soulslike, so it absolutely could work, but no one who is capable of making good mech gameplay will approach ARPGs.

I don't know which build you decided to look at but I'm going to assume that the creator of the build guide is telling you to play early game with that because what you want to play is weak early game so then you can respec and transition mid-late game when your build can finally come online. It's to make the campaign feel better for you, you could likely use the build you want at the start but the build guide is telling you not to because it's likely very weak early game and needs higher investment, aka perfect for later or when you have enough exalts/divs (currency) to buy the items you need for the build to function properly and have acceptable clear/damage. I would recommend Lightning Arrow DeadEye builds if you want to turn your brain off and completely coast through the campaign and rape endgame.

Are you implying that NRFTW doesn't have itemisation?
It's a much more enjoyable system than PoE because it's practical to craft and start fleshing out a "build" right from the start of the game instead of everything being dominated by a market and early items all being irrelevant

There's already enough of it out for it to be better value than PoE2 right now and the coop is already playable

PoE2 itemisation is shit because it's 90% pure vertical. Gearing isn't a choice it's just a gambling minigame where you either get the good number or the bad number and you clap when you get the good number and feel sad when you get the bad number. PoE2 players aren't even qualifying for midwit status

Every ARPG is a waste of your time. Stop playing skinner boxes that drip feed you dopamine between hours of mindless repetitive content. Grinding an ARPG for a month doesn't build memories or experiences to look back on - it's just eating your time. Stop looking for short term momentary enjoyment - you've only got one life and it's slipping away.

You posted a good one.
They are generally pretty good games. There's a reason people are willing to put 1000s of hours into poe and diablo games.
It's just that the fans of this genre are so fucking autistic that just because every single piece of new content isn't as good as the best one before it that they think the entire genre is over now.
Arpg fans are the most hard to please retards out there when im fact the genre is doing pretty alright in general.
