Naaaaaah. The reason we look back so fondly on D2 is because it was consistently in the top 5 most addictive gameplay loops for years. I don't even remember it HAVING cinematics, but I sure remember the farming and the Javezon and the Cube and the system-crashing Necromancer shenanigans. Gameplay will always trump cinematics. If you (royal you, not you personally) care that much about cinematics, then watch a movie, if you want to play a game, find a game with good gameplay.

youre fucking hilarious.

The whole reason people like poe1/2 over diablo is because poe has better game play.

again, youre fucking hilarious.

all you do with poe2, is watch animations finish and dodge roll.

d4 added a great campaign and always do cinematics but the game was dead and hollow after that.

cost time and money to do cinematics.

if poe2 give us poe movement it be great but atm its not really

As a long time D4 players since S0, I seriously question your sanity for thinking D4 has better gameplay than PoE2.

What exactly is better?

Let's make a simple comparison:

Bishop vs Geonor.

Fat Druid vs Lean Druid.

diablo4, blizzard, and every thing they did since 2012, is fresh dog shit.

Uh... I never said that PoE doesn't have better gameplay. In fact I made no statements about PoE whatsoever. I was disagreeing with the previous statement that the reason D2 hits home and is fondly remembered is because of the cinematics lending it more weight. But hey, glad you find me funny. You do you

Revolutionary idea here.
What if... what if we take the budget that would go into the trailer and instead hire more people who would work on the game?
What if instead of a fancy trailer, we got something with actual substance?
I know, I know. Absolute insanity.

REgardless of what people say, I will look at these:

1) Gameplay - Poe1/ POE2 has better gameplay than any aRPG out there
2) Story / Lore - For me at least, Diablo has the best lore, the story and the mithology of Diablo is better
3) Crafting - Last Epoch
4) Cinematics - Diablo


I play POE2 for the gamplay, for how characters/classes feel, forw the ascedency, which are all great.

I hate the fact that I have to replay 20-25 hours of the campaign in POE2 because the campaign is slow, but I liked the way the campaign could be beaten faster in POE1

Sometimes I don't have the urge to play POE2 that much, and I know we will never get a campaign skip in POE1/2, ever!! That's never going to be a thing that GGG will implement.

The campaign in PO2 sucks, is so boring, it's more boring to me than LE's compaign, except ACT 3, I really love ACT 3 because it's inspired by the Aztecs which was an amazing civilization.
Act 1 is meh, but I compare Count Geonor with Vlad Tepes and that's pretty much it.

But, BUT, if GGG would implement cinematics, I think my openion about the campaign might change.
Why?
Well , the answer is simple, we cannot skip the campaign, the campaign is boring as fuck, but having cinematics will make it more insteresting for me, at least for 3 new runs.

Sure, you can get bored of the cinematics, but it would still help me to like the campaign more.

We do not need cinematics at the level of Blizzard, but I think they should definatelly make some "animated" cinematics.

the trailers for expansions they upload to youtube are well animated
why are the animations between acts stop motion rubbish?

I asked myself this question a few days ago, this is the reason I came back here and search the forum and found this thread from last year.

I mean..if oyu make amazing trailers for new leagues, why isn't that talent put to work for actual in-game camera angles change & cinematics during the campaign ?
