Been playing some Diablo 2 sorcerer huh OP?

Path of Exile, yes?

>character has buff removal as one of its strong points
>boss has buffs that cant be removed
FUCKING GRAND ORDER FUCK OFF

>random shit one shots you
>no way to know what the fuck happened because game has no combat log

RPGs with mechanics like that are the fucking worst

>Make a game about melee combat and style points.
>Enemies are just retarded sandbags that lumber around waiting to be launched.

>boss gimmick is that it removes a game mechanic while you fight it

Near Tomato?

>game is about exploring
>nothing interesting around to find

Path of Exile is my favorite game ever made but this shit just kills me.

Why can't ONE fucking loot based grindan game actually be based on random loot drops? Why can't the best items in the game just be really fucking good rare items instead of it always having to be muh unqiues with special powers/set items/runewords depending on the game?

Really butthurt.

>skyward sword.

>boss has phases at 75%, 50%, 25%
>phases are just pointless adds while the boss is immune

dmc

>RPG
>you're not intended to control your party members directly

Seriously who the FUCK thought gambits were a good idea

I never played it so I could be incorrect here, but wasn't there a build in Diablo 3 based on that exact concept?

while it still kinda apply, near tomato isn't "about melee combat and style point" at all

>The principality of EOPs

90% of nier's enemy cant even be launched and ruins your combos

How were you supposed to get past Act 4 as a Fire Sorceress anyway?
