This is so rude. Less work, less quality, more easy things, more ppl, more profit. Of course if you are younger, you cannot get this pov and it's not a problem for you guys just a standart, i can understand this. But like you, i hope i'm wrong for Poe2, but i'm very afraid about i've already seen till now. im just sick of having the games i like being turned into crap cause of the console focus and their greed! it happens every single time man! you get a PC game or a so told PC game, they make success and then you end up with a crap port later on! if this PoE 2 feels any single tiny bit 'console-ish' i wont play neither of PoEs.

I would generally agree that a parallel console release would be a bad thing, but dungeon runners are kind of exceptional in that both gamepad and mouse & keyboard work for them. One question is : how much is the stash and the graphical interface in general going to be dumbed down ? (Though this too might not be a big deal, as I don't exactly miss playing stash Tetris in Diablo 4...) Also I doubt balance will suffer : I would expect that endgame balance will still be done almost exclusively with mouse & keyboard in mind, leaving the rest of the game still gamepad-friendly for the more casual players ? P.S.: Add me to the list of people looking forward to couch co-op on PC.	Posted by BlueTemplar85 on Jul 11, 2024, 9:49:21 AM Quote this Post
