RE: Path of Exile 2: First Impressions

in Discovery-it4 days ago

another user on here posted some gameplay and I ended up buying this one as well even though I don't actually play a lot of videogames. I can say that I "kind of" like it but it does seem very grindy and I don't think that is going to appeal to me very much. I am also playing on a console and think it would be substantially more usable on a PC but I don't have high end PC's anymore and am not going to join that rat race again.

I made it to act 2 the other day, I really enjoyed the boss at the end of Act one, that was quite poetic and nice. He was tough and whipped my ass a few times before I had him figured out. I later went back to face him again around level 30 or so and the tables had turned. I whipped his ass without really even trying.

I think one of the main issues I have with it is is that the tabs, your stash and what not, isn't very easy to navigate with a controller. I presume you are playing it on PC?

Yes, I am playing on a PC. I had to have someone help me against the boss in Act I. I am not a very patient gamer. I don't do well on consoles either for whatever reason. I was fine back with the Nintendo and PS2, but now there are just so many buttons and stuff. I just hit level 30 the other day. I'm looking forward to getting through the main storyline and starting the end game content.

but now there are just so many buttons and stuff.

Yeah, I agree with this. If a game I am playing uses all the buttons there is a very good chance that I am going to forget them and since I can't dedicate a lot of time to any one particular game, once I forget I don't really feel like re-learning it and then will just give up and likely never play it again.

I totally understand. I've been playing a lot of Civ IV lately on my computer at home. I remember back when I was playing Witcher 3, that had a ton of keys you needed to use on the keyboard.
