PC gaming is for the #MustardStainRace

Yeah, it's a 4 year old game.

my perspective as someone who played the pc version since beta and every league since is that they need to simplify a lot via loot filters, text, ui changes, etc. http://i.imgur.com/AHPiknJ.jpg do you really think this is going to be something that can be dealt with on a tv screen with a controller? I sure as hell wouldn't want to try. Not to mention stash management which is hell even with a mouse. But that's just design issues... there's some things that i don't think can simply be 'fixed'

this game spams i/o requests at all times even after loading so needs an ssd to run smoothly, can't multi thread for shit, and has a very outdated game engine in general that hasn't kept up with the way the gameplay has sped up exponentially over the years. Barely runs on high end pcs that have a surplus of iops and single thread speed and they expect this to run on a console hmmm yeah this goes deeper than what simple optimizations and parallelization can fix, they need to rebuild it from the ground up on a brand new engine.

I'm not seeing how it's possible to bring it to xbone unless the game is massively dumbed/slowed down because look at this shit:

The game just has a lot more going on than I think the average console player gives enough of a shit to learn, not to say they are stupid, it's just an insane amount of information to expect people to internalize for a hack n slash. What's the incentive when there are better games on console to play? The experience that separates the veterans from the new players gives the latter such a humongous edge that it's going to further demoralize console players that want to get into it.

Even once you've mastered it, it's good to keep reference sheets on hand like these (just an example there are many more examples of overly complex, obfuscated, or quite frankly unintuitive mechanics):



I simply think the target audience (basically autists, refer to avvy/sig for my credentials) isn't there for console and I don't expect it to take off. Would prefer they just focused on the PC version more but oh well.

Alright then

you beleave me now

i sincerely dout this will be an insane cinsole game but still i cant wait to try it.

about the filter shit, if this game does not have filters then omg

Can't see it competing with d3 for aforementioned reasons and more. Though maybe I'm underestimating GGG's ability to make this playable and misjudging the tastes of console players.

It's gonna be pulled anyways due to the millions of bugs that're in it.

d3 is just so grindy. the skill selection, build diversity in d3 is nothing but a spec compared to poe

You think a game that moves slower and has larger gear assortment is going to be less grindy? Lol.

no i expect a game with hundreds of possible builds to make grinding a 2nd hand idea. in diablo 3 there sets are so linear making build diversity next to none but a few choices. getting those sets does not even take long you can do t13 in non.ancient gear with 2 ancient weapons i can do it.

plus diablo 3 trys to have currency such as crafting materials that dont even allow you to reroll legendary items, prefixes nothing. path of exile has 15 to 20 idk anymore amount of orbs that can change everything from syats to rolls to types even the name.
