You have broken my 8 month long ARPG fever. I mean it's an ARPG, but for the sheer boredom in finishing this thing you'd think the devs would offer to come over and suck your dick or something. And the ending was so fucking underwhelming. Finally beat it after my stock of Mana and Health potions went down to 15 or so from the original 100. It was apparently made even harder for the version on Steam. I've never seen so much HP bloat in my life. That's how copypasta this thing is.Īnd the end game? Jesus F Christ. The worst part is that I basically played the first 5 hours over and over and over again. But after getting 5 hours in, I just had to beat it. That’s because todays gaming websites are heavily influenced and payed by major companies and term like Diablo clone for any ARPG discredits any game and reduces it’s chance to success, while it glorifies Diablo on a whole new level.This game was such a chore to finish it literally felt like my second job. That my friends is what a scummy journalism is.ĭiablo really is what defines this genre, but for example Diablo is also a pioneer in introducing the talent trees into RPGs, the talent trees we see today in every single game, and nobody mentions if the talents are done as good as in Diablo.

IGN, PC Gamer, Kotaku, etc, all of them when describing an upcoming ARPG are calling it a copy of Diablo and how if it’s anything different, it’s considered a failed experiment. Just because the genre is same and the Diablo was a pioneer in the genre doesn’t mean that every game should be so closely compared to it. Just my opinion here, but I think you’d be better served to focus and post on some of the things LE does differently that you really like, and why you like them, rather than telling people they will ruin the game for having a different opinion about something.Įvery arpg ever (Grim dawn, PoE, Torchlight, Wolcen, Warhammer, Victor Vran, Van Helsing etc) is refered as Diablo clone, it’s immediately considered derivative and is always compared to what X game did to be as good as Diablo, and how some aspects are bad since they are not 100% done in the same way. Even if the devs don’t choose to change something based on that feedback, it’s actually really valuable, as it gives insight into what players are concerned about.


They just have opinions that some of the things that LE does different may not work as well as the way they were done in one of those other games. I haven’t seen anyone that wants LE to be a clone of POE, GD, or D3. This doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to stand out, be unique, or put a twist on the formula. Doing something different for the sake of doing something different almost never yields good results, as there are often really good reasons behind design decisions that are consistent within a genre. I would also think that it’s healthy to discuss other games in the genre, and the things they do well and the things the fall short (or fail) at. I think there’s a stark difference between wanting a game to have unique elements and wanting it to be completely different than everything else that exists, particularly since it’s established that LE will be in the aRPG genre, which has a number of common elements that people think define it. I guess wanting Last Epoch to stay unique has nothing to do with Last Epoch, roger that
