[Game] Path of Exile (Diablo 2 style, f2p)

[LightsabeR]

Regarding graphic quality: I'm really impressed by animation quality and special effects. I haven't played Diablo III yet, but so far PoE looks better.

While I haven't played D3 either, I've seen a fair share of gameplay videos. At least in my eyes, PoE looks much better. But I usually prefer a more realistic art style over the more cartoony (WoW'ish) ones.

I do have to say, from what I have seen, the shadowing in this game is absolutely brilliant! This may be one of the only games which i keep shadows on high!

Game indeed looks great. Shadowing in some caves look awesome.

Since NDA allows it, here are some in-game screenshots, png so in high quality.

It looks real nice, indeed, what D3 should have been.

And I dont have a beta-key, darn

Amen to this brother. I can see this being one of the reasons why I might end up playing PoE and not D3 in years to come.

I love to go to town and pop this into the global chat: "People, a quick question! Which one is better, Diablo III or Path of Exile?

Then I sit back and enjoy the show xD

Btw, my char is called Belbe. Add me (I don't know how to)

What is wrong with D3? I think the beta looks really good. Despite having some color (oh noes!) there is still great atmosphere to the game.

 

[Snuffeldjuret]

I think many of us prefer the art style of Blizzard North over the Blizzard a.k.a. WoW-art direction.

 

[Knighter]

Just for a heads-up, there's going to be a public access this weekend at March 30-April 1

So has anyone else been playing over the beta weekend? I think this game rocks, although it would be nice if there was more emphasis on storyline. It clearly is attempting to mimic Diablo in most ways, but I like what they've done with the skill system.

 

[Heisenberg]

I like it because the graphics are awesome. No voice-overs sucks, and the loot addiction doesn't work imo because there aren't really many special items at all. Still not bad. Although I did ragequit today when I entered The Ledge(which takes 9593904530min to grind through the dungeons first) but then was killed before finding the portal stone.

 

[Fedorov]

Been playing it on my laptop cause I don't have a replacement for my graphics card yet, and I can say I absolutely love it.

 

[Major Liability]

Signed up for the beta. It looks like the perfect type of game to play when you're really bored and can't think of anything to play. Hopefully they can capture the nice atmosphere Diablo II had.

 

[ianitor]

Looks nice, glad to have found the tip. Signed up and hope to be playing soon! (long easter weekend coming up...)

 

[The Masta]

And TB did a new video

[NoxNoctum]

Is there any kind of visual customization (like to change facial appearance etc.)? Cause otherwise I don't see how multiplayer would work (if everyone looks identical)

 

[hockeywarrior]

Theres another stress test session this weekend. Anyone know when it starts?
