@hardwenzen: Yes and those whales and casuals are the ones keeping the lights on and paying devs salaries. You think no lifers on POE2 will be the ones paying devs and buying MTXs, think again and a game with chinesse owners need to have a yearly growth or they start losing money.
I mean look at the 1 hour gameplay of POE2 and LOL at how they put a ranged player killing a boss in a 2x2 room LMAO, classic POE... Not to mention that the same slum tileset will be on maps with mods, try killing that boss when modded and getting one hit on its scissor run, what a joke...
Its understandable their reluctance to release any kind of build to the public. Not to mention that Wilson is officially out, so they need another mouthpiece that speaks english.
@hardwenzen: POE the tencent version aka POE2 is going to flop, they have pushed the beta back over 2 years, that should tell you the quality of the game. When they cant even release a single chapter of the game for people to test you know the play loop must be so low they are scared to release it and kill all possible hype for later.
Personally i already outgrew POE 3 years ago, there was nothing in the game to even merit the HD space. And what little gameplay of POE Tencent edition was shown has done little to even hint at some curiosity.
Sadly for GGG when they sold out to china they lost all brand trust on their player base, so they need to hit a homerun on the west or POE Tencent will end up running on taiwan servers only.
@hardwenzen: But they did because all they are aiming for is enticing those people that do have the cash to buy a battle pass or a MTX, the no lifers are already invested in the game in term of game hours, they arent going to quit and you can bet despite all the grumbling and brow furrow they will be first in line to buy the DLC that will have a pre order bonus.
@hardwenzen: Because they are not aiming to please the 1% of no lifers, but the 99% of casuals that put a few hours a week or weekends and since those people are happy they buy the battlepass to unlock a few seasonal cosmetics.
Game is a GaaS like fortnite first, diablo arpg comes second. At least this update improves the diablo aspect, i hope the new crafting didnt take from POE crafting that was complete RNG ass.
@cyrezeraser: Hard to measure the impact performance since its only been released on PS that as we all know is the inferior hardware. What sort of performance you expect from hardware that has the equivalent to a 2070 GPU, 1080p 30fps like a switch is to be expected.
The score is based on the DLC content not based on performance. If it was buggy as hell that def would play into the score.
Best wait till its released to the Master Race and join US in glorious 4k 60fps :D
@zerojuice: They needed to make that change since society in the books is largely patriarchal to the extreme, like fremen leaders being all men, emperor man, house heads all men led. While the bene gesserit scheming behind the scenes placing all their women in key positions while pushing all their plans/agendas using their all powerful V jay jays.
But yes, it was eye rolling how they made chani a no depth character and largely ignorant in the movies while on the books she knew how paul ascent to emperor would work before hand and she was ok with being concubine, supporting him as well. Also the movie completely erased liet kynes teachings to chani making her look like a complete peasant with zero knowledge of the universe.
@deckard: I wouldnt say he didnt get it right, i mean a movie with a 200 million budget, is something done by a group of people and studio people and he did a great job finding the consensus to make a good adaptation.
Like i know it would have brought tons of questions if the water of life orgy was mentioned, since those events were the ones that gave full conscience to fetus alia. While at the same time explaining that the water of life event was meant so all fertile women get pregnant in the same time window, so then all pregnant women go south and have their babies safely there.
At least the movie did great so Messiah is a given, and messiah happens largely in one location so that would either leave room to make a good adaptation on a single book or they can add part of the childhood of the twins in children of dune.
