Updating a journal for 3+ years will have that effect. But I know I do. I'll work on it.

The Trollheart defense? Feh.

Check edit. Sorry. Edited too late.

Yes, I care about why you think its more fun and analyzing the game. All I've gotten out of you are matter of factish statements with no reasoning.. You didnt even attempt to answer my last question.

Is it really that hard to have a conversation with someone who disagrees with you but is still interested in hearing your opinion in more than 1 non-answer sentence?

I haven't disagreed with you tho. And I said in my post that I didn't answer your question. I didn't realize until after I posted. But to answer, D3 being as fun as it is, I find that it makes it easier to get into it. With PoE you need some kind of idea of what it is to enjoy it fully. I know from my own experience. D3 just gets you right into it. I also hate the quick bar for abilities on PoE. It's the worst design I've probably seen in a while. D3 makes it feel like an actual RPG which makes it even easier to get into. I'm still going to use the defense that it's more fun because it literally is. I don't know how else to put that. I know you love PoE but you're doing what you think I'm doing. I'm not trying to defend both games, I'm just discussing. You're taking things personally because you enjoy PoE more. That's great for you but just because someone likes D3, that doesn't mean they should also like PoE. I don't play PoE anymore because it stopped being fun. I just prefer D3.

POE is for the people that enjoy the genre and wants to put in some hardcore time with grinding etc. D3 I for those that want a casual playthrough and fun with other people. Two different purposes for two games with some similarities.

Yeah, nah... thanks for trying. I like you but sometimes its like pulling teeth to make you understand what Im saying and then get you to explain your position on topic. nvm

At least you made one comparison with the quick bar comment.

I offered the best I could in this discussion. Sorry it wasnt suffice.

I read the whole conversation. I think I know less now than before I read it.

That's highly unlikely.

Here are a couple things that may help dwv.

To me, the combat in PoE doesn't feel as satisfying as it does in D3. I understand that you can get pretty OP in PoE but that seems boring as ****. I've seen people just be able to slice through groups of enemies like paper. D3 however I felt like I was pretty much always on level with the enemies. Sometimes that isn't true but I never felt too OP in D3. Tho the Necromancer is a bit OP.

I've already mentioned the quick bar, but the layout of the quick bar and etc feels dated. D3 at least feels modern and easier to use in terms of quick acess abilities. Like I said, feels more like an RPG.

The currency in PoE makes absolutely no sense. I never understood it and I don't feel like I'll learn it as quick as I need to. Not a good sign.

I've also tried playing PoE with other people and it was not nearly as fun as D3.

Level design is fine in PoE but something about crawling through dungeons etc just felt way more satisfying in D3. Again, all my own personal experience.

Lastly, tho I haven't seen near end game content for PoE, when I was done with D3, it felt complete. It's great that PoE stays consistently updated but that's only great for hardcore players and players that wanna spend a ton of time playing the game. I play other games too and being able to just play through D3 and be done is nice.

POE does focus more on content for players that love the game to death. D3 does it simply and gives a game that is fun to play and allows you to move on to other games. Hence why casual players enjo it more. Not all obviously. But some do. But I also know you love lots of content so that's more my own gripe. Nothing wrong with spending countless hours on an RPG. I've done it many times. I just don't have the time or patience. Plus, I'm playing Horizon so I don't need another one for a while.

Having played both, there's enough differences between them that I don't think it's fair to compare them. But you wanted comparisons so there ya go.
