CMV: PoE blows Diablo IV out of the water (feddit.de)

so ive been playing d4 for a while now and though I like it in general, its only a poor excuse of what PoE offers.

d4 only offers a few cookie cutter builds, feels even more streamlined and dumbed down than d3 did and i dont see myself replaying it alot since its open world, from what ive seen so far, is biring and bland.

I played a lot of PoE and a bit of D4, IMO both are bad.

PoE has a lot of things, but everything is too complicated, theorycrafting is pretty much impossible without 3rd party tool, trade is annoying. Meanwhile D4 has is more streamlined, gameplay is too slow and there are not enough mobs. Open world feels empty and the game isn't as polished as it should be.

I hope other Hack and Slash games will be developed in the future, because I think PoE and D4 won't become better games.

Plenty Diablo players called for D4 to be closer D2 than D3 was. Fewer mobs than PoE is result of that - while in PoE you clear whole screens, D2 wasn't nearly as fast or full of mobs, encounters were a bit more unique and demanded strategy. So in that way, I would say D4 succeeded.
