I know several people who played D4 because, like me, they were such fans of the franchise but quickly got so disappointed they went back to POE1. Blizzard has become EA and I've completely lost interest in Blizzard as a company. I supported POE1 and they "paid that support back" by allowing me to keep all of the storage space I had purchased in POE1. They didn't have to do that. They could have made me pay for more storage. They chose not to. I will continue to support GGG.

There's another reason that no one is mentioning. During the development of PoE 2 (the game still is in development), they invited couple of times the holy trinity to work on PoE 2. David Brevik and Schaefer's brothers, the ppl who created Diablo I and II and when you play the campaign it has very, very similar vibe to Diablo II campaign. Chris Wilson and Jonathan have very high regard of the holy trinity and huge respect for what they did with the aRPG in general. This is why you see them invited to every Exilecon. While the bozos at Blizzard HQ keeps ignoring ppl like David Brevik and the bothers and hence the results - a soulless game like Diablo IV doesn't stand a chance, even Titan Quest II will surpass this shit, really. PoE 2 is the new king and will remain so for many years ahead.
@@jameslambertus5820 irrelevant? Ah, the Diablo IV bozo player. The man still has the knowledge. He already proved himself and created what has to be done. He literally left legacy upon which everyone can feed on. If you knew David Brevik personally, and you're about to create an aRPG wouldn't you call him and ask him for an advice? Or better yet, invite him (like GGG did), to your place and show him some stuff? You're clueless, really.
Hey man. I was shocked after watching this video, that you only had 353 subs... Your production and research is top-notch Good job, and good luck moving forward. You now have 354 subscribers!
The other thing they forget to mention is that POE2 wouldn't have the audience it does if not for D4 that brought ARPGs back to the masses, and I would put my house on the fact that by the time POE2 fully releases only the hardest of hardcore players will be left.
I still remember when last epoch came out people always say In the comment how bad D4 is compared to last epoch, but on POE2 release the game was so good and packed with content that the comment COMPLETELY forgot about D4. I'd say it's a massive achievement for a game to be so good that the player stop comparing and just play the game
Nah, D4 is going to stay relevant. D4 and POE are different enough to co-exist. My main ARPG will be D4 as long as they keep improving the game. PoE 2 is not a game I can play for a long time. I find it to be very exhausting after a while. I like their boss fights and I like theorycrafting and learning about the game. But most of the time I cannot play for long. D4 is easier to jump in, do some fast activities, slashing huge amounts of mobs and jump out. That‘s nothing I can get from PoE 2 and that‘s fine. D4 is for quick action and PoE 2 for a long gaming session that feels more like an journey. I‘m excited to play them both.
I'm sorry but I can't overlook that at 5:59. Is that guy in chat sarcastic? Surely he prefers a game that you can play, instead of a game that plays itself. What's more fun? a) Dodging around, combo attacks, interesting abilities that interact with other stuff, gearing up at a good pace b) Clicking on a stone to autoattack it on top of a mount until it explodes while spamming life pots over and over again with the next upgrade to your gear costing 2 months of farming.
POE II on EA has better gameplay loop and more content than Diablo IV had on release and even has today after an expensive expansion and 7 seasons worth of content added. Currently it's an 8/10 game, well worth $30 price tag they ask to get into EA. I made it to mid-tier maps, and I can see flaws that need to be polished. Many skill gems and classes are missing, it shows in the meta where some ascendancies are just bad and not functioning as they should.
Yeah for me I give same 9/10 because it's early access but if launch that I wanna watch the game.. acendecy can be changed it's okay because yeah you right..
dont tell me you are one of those players who mute and music rush to end game to far creeps. Let me tell you that their are alot of ppl who care for everything else than go pew pew and farm creeps. Now go beta test the game so i can play it for free ....... hahahahhaha
"more content" why are you missing the fact, that this content is not new but it literally is a copy paste from poe 1? People trash D4 for being too similar to D3 but they are okay with POE2 being 1:1 copy of poe 1 with updates bosses, skills and graphics. Thats pathetic
@dzubu it would be stupid not to add old content that people enjoy and also adding new content as well. It's early access and not everything is finished yet. There's so many skills not in game yet. The ones that we can use with several new ones are from the existing classes. I can taste the bitterness in your comment.
Most of the failed games have one thing In common. They are built by studios that have been around for years but all the people who made the games that made the company good back in the day are gone. Concord is an exception. Concord is an unknown studio that was handed a bunch of money by Sony and over hyped the project and underpinned a lot of other things to it for some reason...
Not gonna stop playing D4. I do welcome competition for the need to innovate. People rave POE2 because the fighting style is slower like Diablo 2. I happen to like the fast-paced grind of D4. But bring on the competition!
Meh. They are different games: D4 is more traditional hacknslash, whereas POE2 appears to trying to do something more souls-like. There's going to be a class of players who will prefer the simplicity of D4, and not because it's a better game, but because it's different - and vice versa. Liking chocolate doesn't make vanilla "irrelevant."
I don't understand the issue with pay for convenience. It's not pay to win, and the game is free to play. How do these players expect the company to make money? Pay for convenience is the best form of pay content available imo.
@@BTK_Griller Damn right the endgame sucks. Too bad most PoE 2 players will never see the endgame given how much of a long/grindy slog the campaign is.
5-6 years ago their plan was to make PoE2 just a huge patch, with second parallel campaign and classes, that would end up in one endgame. But it evolved into completely separate sequel.
You're right they did say that. But GGG are liars but their fans religiously defend them as if they can do no wrong. That would be like if Blizzard had promised Diablo in D4 (Spoilers, they never promised that). GGG totally lied like how they lied when they said that all the microtransactions from PoE 1 would carry over to PoE 2 but 99% of them didn't.
5:25 every map doesn't have a boss. There are a few filler maps (particularly in act 2) that just serve as a buffer to make the act longer. Which it doesn't need because Act 2 is already convoluted and nonlinear.
I mean this is a hot take but the for POE2 is exactly like Diablo 4. Where the campaign for both games require some form of tactic, and skill usage, the endgame boils down to blasting the maps, because everything one shots you. Also saying it's more deliberate is great ,but once again it falls apart as soon as you get to the endgame. People keep saying D4 bad , but at least the melee there is viable lol.
@@attilamarics3374 Sort of, I'll never understand why they went with a COOP styled endgame for the expansion while the hole game you can just play solo
Of course D4 is the "irrelevant" game and you're here preaching your religious views, talking about D4 while nobody seems to remember that Last Epoch ever existed or that Titan Quest 2 is coming out soon. D4 is still a better game than Poe 2. I enjoy Poe 2 because I play both games but after playing through the game D4 has little to be scared from that game.
Its not better. It's better for a casually sitting down and playing. D4 will be what it's trying to be, appeal to everyone while po2 will be for those that want something a bit more different
D4 is a rather poorly made game fundamentally, though. It simply just doesn't feel good to play, the combat is floaty and doesn't feel impactful, the story is mediocre, the fights are boring which doesn't help the combat, gear is whatever, and character progression isn't really there. Calling it better than POE2, or POE1 for that matter, is either dishonest or due to inexperience and lack of self-awareness.
To put it in perspective, D4 literally feels like a mobile game. If someone puts in a little effort, they can make a better feeling mobile game than what D4 is. D4 has... graphics I guess? Although POE2's graphics are just as good or better. I guess also better cinematics decorating the mediocre story?
@@alessioleporati1478 That's not really true, ER has little in common with POE despite POE being a "Souls Like" (which it really is not, beyond surface level). The moment to moment gameplay and the character progression are completely different, and those are what makes ARPG. D4 is in direct competition with POE in those regards, and D4 is mediocre at best in comparison.
To paraphrase, if you love ER and don't like POE2, it's likely that you simply just don't like top down ARPGs. Oranges-apples. D4 meanwhile is a less sweet, less juicy, and mushier apple.
video games are a waste of time and money, the older I get the more I regret wasting my life on them, kids go outside! study something! maybe even.. read a book? 🤓
PoE 2 is barely an ARPG with it's gameplay. It's like a hybrid of 2 genre's. I can honestly say even at diablo 4s lowest and worst I prefer diablo 4 over PoE 2 right now. PoE 2 just doesn't play the same as PoE 2. I am so bored with PoE 2. I have over 40 hours, One character and haven't reached end game yet because the campaign is a complete slog. I look at PoE 2 on steam and can't even bring myself to launch it. PoE 2 is currently a 6/10 game. People seem to be reviewing it based on future potential because it's early access but that doesn't help anyone. You're overrating the game and the devs will think their shit design choices are good because idiots keep giving it 8 and 9/10
nope. most poe streamers agree that d4 is the better game for casuals, at least kripparian and one on the zizaran stream said that. poe2 is ways too hard to be a general recommendation. it is the better game, by far, but that doesnt make d4 not appealing to casuals. so many people in poe2 chat are pissed due to difficulty. d4 bad, but this vids title is failed
Too hard in what?? In that you don't get gear so fast and most of items you drop is boring and for other classes then yours. Men I get so much bows and crossbows for mine witch that is getting annoying. I feel good about killing boss but I never kill boss to get items. What's the point of yellow mobs if thers no drop from most of them? . And next thing I remember how people cry in d4 that's thers no much space for loot in back pack. Man poe is is just 10 times less. And no complains
@@evan-du3vk the difficulty curve. The hardest part on PoE2 is on act 1. After that the campaign is easy. It supposed to be gradually harder not the other way around.
Joke content. Just watch d4 continue to have more players, poe2 is a great game but its hardly killing even Poe1 much more the casual audience of d4. I really hate hate baiting creations like this. Irrelevant my ass.
It's hilarious seeing all these clickbait videos praising PoE 2 when the reaction from the community has ranged from "meh" to "holy shit this is awful". UA-camrs gonna UA-cam I guess.
I like some aspects of the game but a D4 killer it is not. Game was overhyped. D4 ain't perfect but it's a lot better than it was at launch. They say that PoE 2 has more content than D4 but that's factually incorrect. After completing act one of PoE 2 I realized that the entire region of scosglen was not only bigger but has more content than what the first act of Poe 2 had to offer. Even Nahantu has more content than two PoE 2 acts combined.
@@alessioleporati1478 For me the tragedy is it being worse than PoE. It always sucks when a company clearly sets out to replace a game that was good and fails, and now the whole community has to reckon with the company putting all its chips on the losing move. Now we have to live with their mess up.
@@zeriel9148 They have been making PoE 1 for 11 years now. The game has had a lot of development. They are trying to make a whole new game from scratch that has the same development of the first game. That’s one of the reasons why Blizzard never made a modern sequel to WoW. Doing so would be a task deemed impossible
Honestly, that's not really the reaction. People have small concerns here and there, but overall it's positive. Steam is literally 82% positive lol. and a lot of the negatives are technical or balancing issues, which is what the EA is there for anyway, so those are actually good to have. Stuff like "i like the game a lot but crash/nerf/too hard", which matches the general consensus in other communities too. Something you gotta understand about the POE community is they like to blow shit way out of proportion. Like "My build got nerfed by 20%, but in the same patch something else that helps the build got buffed a ton? NO! NO! NO! NO! I DON'T WANNA MAKE ANY CHANGES, THEY NERFED MY BUILD INTO UNPLAYABILITY!!!!! I CAN'T BELEIVE THEY ALWAYS ONLY NERF NERF NERF!!!!!". Slight exaggeration, but that was the community's reaction to the Righteous Fire changes in 3.23, the skill and builds were completely fine btw.
Not really, Diablo 4 is a polished game, it looks fantastic and is fun to chill. PoE2 is less casual but I'm struck by how rough it is and it doesn't look that good graphically. It looks like an old game already but the hype train has left the station :) It has good details and customisation but i realise now that most of the passive tree are just small buffs. Lastly the microtransactions that are criticised in other games are overlooked by the hype
Diablo 4 was released october 17 2023 on steam. It has 30k reviews currently (70% of which are positive) and the dlc Vessel of hatred 50% positive reviews. Path of exile 2 is early acces, only has 4 acts released currently (got released on 6th december 2024) It got 68k reviews at the time of this comment ( 83% of them are positive) Even new players who never got to enter poe 1 gave good feedback on the game. I would say it is not even close, in terms of : graphics, deep gameplay, customisation, sounds, music, number of playable classes, difficulty ( poe 2 is not made for babies, unlike d4) and late game content. Overall, poe 2 is years ahead of d4, even poe 1 is 10× better than d4, and that is a fact ( go play the game ,instead of glorifying d4 because you never tried poe).
Diablo been irrelevant before PoE 1 came out, while there has been attempts to bring it back, none were successful. PoE is way too mediocre overall, but I am glad that it is showing that this genera has plenty of life in for more competition. PoE relies too much on the always online aspect to distribute meaningful upgrades, taking away really the desire to play. This is why GW2 never pulled players, upgrades were mostly useless and everything else required you to open your wallet, again buying rewards isn't rewarding. Pretty much comes down to grinding endgame for the "I did it crowd", reality is they didn't, they bought their way to end game, then did a fight until they won. Maybe it is just me (I know its not) but PoE 2 to me isn't Diablo 1 status of greatness.
I know several people who played D4 because, like me, they were such fans of the franchise but quickly got so disappointed they went back to POE1.

a paid beta for a "free to play" game
Nah not to me
nope. most poe streamers agree that d4 is the better game for casuals, at least kripparian and one on the zizaran stream said that. poe2 is ways too hard to be a general recommendation. it is the better game, by far, but that doesnt make d4 not appealing to casuals. so many people in poe2 chat are pissed due to difficulty. d4 bad, but this vids title is failed
Too hard in what?? In that you don't get gear so fast and most of items you drop is boring and for other classes then yours. Men I get so much bows and crossbows for mine witch that is getting annoying. I feel good about killing boss but I never kill boss to get items. What's the point of yellow mobs if thers no drop from most of them? . And next thing I remember how people cry in d4 that's thers no much space for loot in back pack. Man poe is is just 10 times less. And no complains
@ im fine with the difficulty, have 2 chars in endgame. just sayimg what streamers and chat say. i dont like d4
@ people are bigots about stash tho.
@@evan-du3vk the difficulty curve. The hardest part on PoE2 is on act 1. After that the campaign is easy. It supposed to be gradually harder not the other way around.
Joke content. Just watch d4 continue to have more players, poe2 is a great game but its hardly killing even Poe1 much more the casual audience of d4. I really hate hate baiting creations like this. Irrelevant my ass.
D4 continue to have more players? That's the biggest Diablo coping I've seen
the point diablo 4 is at now is very nice ngl people should rly look at it like you want d3 but better play d4 you want d2 play poe 2
It's hilarious seeing all these clickbait videos praising PoE 2 when the reaction from the community has ranged from "meh" to "holy shit this is awful". UA-camrs gonna UA-cam I guess.
just a clickbait. He doesn't play both D4 and PoE2.
I like some aspects of the game but a D4 killer it is not. Game was overhyped. D4 ain't perfect but it's a lot better than it was at launch. They say that PoE 2 has more content than D4 but that's factually incorrect. After completing act one of PoE 2 I realized that the entire region of scosglen was not only bigger but has more content than what the first act of Poe 2 had to offer. Even Nahantu has more content than two PoE 2 acts combined.
@@alessioleporati1478 For me the tragedy is it being worse than PoE. It always sucks when a company clearly sets out to replace a game that was good and fails, and now the whole community has to reckon with the company putting all its chips on the losing move. Now we have to live with their mess up.
@@zeriel9148 They have been making PoE 1 for 11 years now. The game has had a lot of development. They are trying to make a whole new game from scratch that has the same development of the first game. That’s one of the reasons why Blizzard never made a modern sequel to WoW. Doing so would be a task deemed impossible
Honestly, that's not really the reaction. People have small concerns here and there, but overall it's positive. Steam is literally 82% positive lol. and a lot of the negatives are technical or balancing issues, which is what the EA is there for anyway, so those are actually good to have. Stuff like "i like the game a lot but crash/nerf/too hard", which matches the general consensus in other communities too.
Something you gotta understand about the POE community is they like to blow shit way out of proportion. Like "My build got nerfed by 20%, but in the same patch something else that helps the build got buffed a ton? NO! NO! NO! NO! I DON'T WANNA MAKE ANY CHANGES, THEY NERFED MY BUILD INTO UNPLAYABILITY!!!!! I CAN'T BELEIVE THEY ALWAYS ONLY NERF NERF NERF!!!!!". Slight exaggeration, but that was the community's reaction to the Righteous Fire changes in 3.23, the skill and builds were completely fine btw.
Why the hate for another game my dude? just play poe2 and enjoy it, why do we have to always exacerbate negative emotions?
D4's downfall is no Paladin class end of story 🤣. You got demons roaming around the realm yet no holy knight? shows Blizzard dumb decision-making.
Not really, Diablo 4 is a polished game, it looks fantastic and is fun to chill.
PoE2 is less casual but I'm struck by how rough it is and it doesn't look that good graphically. It looks like an old game already but the hype train has left the station :)
It has good details and customisation but i realise now that most of the passive tree are just small buffs. Lastly the microtransactions that are criticised in other games are overlooked by the hype
Numbers speak volumes
A beta EA has more content than a full fleshed game lol
The game looks great and better than D4. But the drops are crap and the game is not for casuals.
POE 2 has terrible mechanics lol
If they aren't fixed, POE 1 will have more players
@@xBlacky369
WTF you on about lol?
I just started playing D4 as I quit POE 2 because of its terrible mechanics an D4 has plenty more content
@@adammorra3813 Game is based around crafting. Sometimes u get good rares but it's rare, you have to find good base items and craft slam them.
D4 is still better than Poe2. That’s a fact.
Delulu xD
Diablo 4 was released october 17 2023 on steam. It has 30k reviews currently (70% of which are positive) and the dlc Vessel of hatred 50% positive reviews.
Path of exile 2 is early acces, only has 4 acts released currently (got released on 6th december 2024)
It got 68k reviews at the time of this comment ( 83% of them are positive) Even new players who never got to enter poe 1 gave good feedback on the game.
I would say it is not even close, in terms of : graphics, deep gameplay, customisation, sounds, music, number of playable classes, difficulty ( poe 2 is not made for babies, unlike d4) and late game content.
Overall, poe 2 is years ahead of d4, even poe 1 is 10× better than d4, and that is a fact ( go play the game ,instead of glorifying d4 because you never tried poe).
@@Nefirim
You know not everyone plays D4 over steam right?
5k D4 super fans still playing the game. Now that everyone's is gone, they feel powerful.
@ D4 is for people with jobs and families. Poe is for the fat losers who live in their parents' basement.
Diablo been irrelevant before PoE 1 came out, while there has been attempts to bring it back, none were successful. PoE is way too mediocre overall, but I am glad that it is showing that this genera has plenty of life in for more competition. PoE relies too much on the always online aspect to distribute meaningful upgrades, taking away really the desire to play. This is why GW2 never pulled players, upgrades were mostly useless and everything else required you to open your wallet, again buying rewards isn't rewarding. Pretty much comes down to grinding endgame for the "I did it crowd", reality is they didn't, they bought their way to end game, then did a fight until they won. Maybe it is just me (I know its not) but PoE 2 to me isn't Diablo 1 status of greatness.
Who cares?😂
