PoE is about as shallow as games come. Diablo 1 has more depth and variety.
PC Gamers have been spoiled, emotionally, satisfyingly, with Diablo 1 and 2. These same gamers are being tortured mentally and spiritually, now with Diablo 3. Unfortunately, having played 1 and 2, we long and wish for a great successor to that original franchise. Here is hoping PoE will be able to change its engine along the way. but unfortunately, we have had Diablo1, we all played it, and now there is nothing that will ever top that.
Diablo 3 needs to die a horrible death, and I urge all gamers of today to boycott that corporate lab experiment. I say this because having played many games over the years, this current iteration is absolutely detremental to anyone with a gut and a brain, it is an absolute insult, as to how the AI algorithm in that game, acts as a main water tap, in the hands of some douchebags at Blizzard mission control. I could talk till I'm blue in the face about how everything is horribly wrong with Diablo3, but the problem is it's fucking Diablo! and we all wish it will be like D1 and D2, and we are in denial, I say we, those that still play it. be strong people, abondon ship, and just think of good memories of D1 and D2.
1.2 million raised from kickstarter, that's pretty beans, and here is hoping many more will join such ventures, and topple giants such as EA, UBI, and Blizzard, but don't become like them in the long haul.
PC gaming, we are riding a very very defunct wave right now, let it pass, allow the shitstorms to settle, and hope for new seeds to bring us new great games.
