Path of Exile

What went so fucking right?

I'm having fun with it. Not sure why it's unpopular on Sup Forums

Too hardcore.
One thing everyone will learn after being on Sup Forums for a few years is that Sup Forums is actually casual as fuck. They're anything BUT the "hardcore enthusiast gamer" that people would assume dwells here

>double the size of the game
>make difficulty progress naturally instead of a loop of the same shit

harbinger league is kinda meh but they're working on it at least. The god bonuses are also underwhelming imo, you're murdering deities and eating their souls...and the reward is 5% some specific defense while moving? balanced but lame

The bonuses get a lot better once you upgrade them by killing specific endgame map bosses.

But yeah until then I usually stick to brine king for that stun protection and then whatever

The expansion actually got me to convince my friends to actually play. Finished act 3 last night and had fun cooping through the first labyrinth to unlock ascendancies I hope the game doesn't stop being this good no idea if I'll look into endgame stuff or not.

If only I could get one friend of mine to stop remaking characters before even reaching act 5 all the time

At this rate he'll get bored cause all he does is play through the first four acts over and over, I want him to see the new acts and content.

>Best isometric action RPG ends up being a F2P game

Ask me this years ago and I would have laughed

is it a good time to try out this game for a newcomer ? I'm in the mood for some of that but I got bored of only mashing the same active skill over and over in torchlight 2 and I didn't like Diablo 3.

It's not unpopular on Sup Forums, it's just a handful of people who either don't like the genre or think Diablo 2 is the best thing ever because they got to experience it during their formative years shitposting the threads.

Of course. Biggest patch ever just hit and new league started like what a week ago. Go nuts.

But depending on what you play you may end up not pressing too many buttons either, it depends.

you can mash up to 8 buttons in this one but really only 7 because 1 of them has to be movement

The Pantheon bonus is actually really good in some cases. I'm using Brine/Abberant most of the time and the flame ground immunity along with the pseudo IS helps a lot with ES builds (Occutist Hybrid ED+Blight atm).

Is Summon Witch gud in this patch

>Double the size of the game
>it's just first half of the game with 5% extra assets and played in reverse

New acts are largely dogshit, new parts of the story is dogshit, Dominus is still the most memorable fight in the entire thing.

>"this world is an illusion" is never followed upon, the beast is relevant for one whole act and the rest of the game is just you killing irrelevant pagan deities with no personality.


But at least i no longer need to run the same 3 acts 3 times in a row for each character so that's something.

Bad coding, bad graphics, bad gameplay.

End game is basically people spazzing all over the place clearing entire screens in half a sec. It looks like shit because animations are bad and it plays like shit.

Congrats you like shitty games.

Way to be wrong as fuck. Malachai, Kitava, Brine King and the solar/lunar duo are all more memorable.

>when brine king closes the water in

Too busy playing to shitpost, not interested in talking about it on Sup Forums when you get better PoE discussions elsewhere.

can you get good discussions about anything on Sup Forums ?

Anything not video game related
Food, porn, anime, tv shows etc.

Sup Forums is quite adept at discussing porn games

actually its just way too casual, boring and grindy. literally just left click to move and right click to delete everything on your screen, then repeat 2000 times

also,
>f2p games

How the fuck do you even get the vessels to capture boss souls?

Malachai is nice (I'm surprised they made you fight his trio multiple times later in the story) and Solaris/Lunaris is probably the coolest out of the new fights.

But how the fuck is shrimp Dominus stage 2 and stolen right out of the DMC (or a bunch of other action games, really) giant static asshole with no personality any good?
