No contest here lol

Poe2 is definitely releasing in a far more finished state than d4 did. And GGG seems a lot more responsive than blizzard was initially. Although blizz really started to put forward a lot more effort on this end after some months and tons of criticism.

Having said that both have their enjoyable aspects which I realize is probably ann unpopular opinion on here.

I enjoyed the initial playthrough of poe2 a lot more than the endgame though. The challenging slower paced gameplay was a ton of fun and very engaging at the beginning. But once you get to the endgame I can’t say I really enjoy mapping that much when you’re giga blasting maps except when you randomly die to an on death monster explosion.

D4 is definitely more casual initially. But I enjoy being able to actually find my own gear as opposed to purely trade based item acquisition from poe2.

Yea
I’m a d2r/project Diablo 2 player and absolutely loving Poe 2

A lot more? Diablo 4 in fact wasn't finished. Not only they forgot to put content to the game but even what we had at release was far far from finished. I could list so many examples. I think they gave no time for the dev team to finish the project for some reason.



"Lot more". We can put it that way.
It only took Blizzard half year after release to fix the resist problems and the gem problem (was reported million time in the first opened beta from the 3 open betas, much before release).

How long time needed for GGG to react on the map teleport problem, the low drop of currency, the replaceable sockets? Hmmm, days-weeks?


The difference is so huge between the 2 teams and the end result shows this very well.

Yes, but again I actually think blizzard has started to be pretty responsive themselves. It just took them like 10 months for the lightbulb to come on and realize that.

How we got here matters. But where we are matters more. And atm both groups are pretty responsive fwiw.

Watch Paint Dry or Diablo 4?

WATCH PAINT DRY

i dont quite know you but i like your style

I dont care much for diablo 4. It got boring very fast. Poe2 isn't too far behind. Like you said the endgame sucks. Not a fan of the mapping system. And the damn trials..smh..that dev should be fired. So far with the limited well...everything..its gotten kinda stale. Probably gonna be taking a break til the next update with more content. Playing the the same storyline just on a reverse map is silly..I get its not finished but come on..how about screw the endgame fixes and work on the actual campaign. Lets get the rest of the characters and skills etc...

I quit d4 pre season...
did they eventually allow us to fight diablo? LOL
