The Japanese used to use Chinese prisoners for bayonet practice and training all the way up through WWII, and your brother is concerned about them now having to play video games as punishment? Really? Their punishment for a crime is the same as what many Americans put themselves through willingly. There are greater travesties against humanity out there to be concerned with.

I suggest you to read this:

The effect of D3 will be a lot of people wasting their time for a little bit and then starting to look for games that are actually diverse and fun. I don't really see any other changes to the continuum.

D3 is pay to win bullshit, anyone telling you otherwise is a delusional fanboy.

I find some Hardcore PoE fans a bit too defensive about this game. I' m tired of being cussed out over YouTube simply cause I prefer D3. If I end up being bored of D3, PoE will be my next choice. PoE does look like a nice game ad plus it's free. It's not really a competition.

POE is a decent game nothing more.
This game doesn't have a soul like D3, the level design is plain boring like the skill and the characters.
Torchlight 2 will easily be better.

Only blind POE fanboy find this game better.

POE is still in beta and subject to change. Furthermore, isn't making opinions as statements about a certain game the very definition of fanboy?

They all fall into the same genre, but each have a different style to them. Can we not appreciate what each brings to the table? I am looking forward to all 3 myself. Heaven forbid we have 3 good titles over 1. I don't get it...I want more quality games...not less.

This game has alot of potential and I can't wait to see it. If you don't like it...fine, but don't bash it. Appreciate what it does well and move on. POE brings alot of good things to the table. No game is perfect...even the mighty Diablo.

I totally agree with you.

D3 is still the #1 ARPG, torchlight 2 looks horrible IMO.

Im not blind but I find PoE better then D3 because it has soul and is better then D3 in many ways. And because PoE is more true to the Diablo then D3 is.
D3 has gone away from what Diablo is. D3 is nothing more then a corridor shooter game in a top down view. You can hardly call D3 a RPG.
You can't make any chooses. You have no power over your character. You are handed everything you need and you cant fail or do mistakes. And here is what's the biggest difference between PoE and D3, and only a blind D3 fanboi don't understand what this is.

D3 is "Diablo light for the dumb". But everyone know that the money is in the casual masses and Consol gaming and not in the "hard core" PC gaming.
Diablo 3 is not true to anything that is Diablo. Except for the music :)
As for the level creation? Diablo 3 has so bad level creation that I want to cry. I rather play Serious Sam if I want to play a corridor shooter. Or even buy Duke Nukem Forver. That is how bad I find the level system of D3 so far. Just a long corridor.

Oh, D3 is good, but it is as much a Diablo successor as Tourchlight is a Diablo successor.
Diablo 3 is a hole new game and not a successor. Had Diablo 3 been released under an other name and just as an other ARPG game, then I would probably have bought it, but as a Diablo 3 successor I find it a disaster and wont pay 60 euro for it.
It is all about money and not about staying true to Diablo or trying to make the best Diablo game. They are trying to make the game that will bring in the most money, and that is a game that the casual masses can play without having to think or make decisions.
This game reflects the idea how Blizzard make their games this days. Just like WoW. You are getting everything handed to you, you can't choose how you want to spec any more because we cant have it that you make mistakes.

For crying out load. I want to make my OWN decisions and I want to make mistakes. That is how I learn more about the game. That is why I want to play the game again. Because I fucked up and want to do it proper, or in an other way.

And that is why I like PoE and not D3. D3 is pampering me so much that I cant enjoy playing the game. Playing D3 is like taking a walk with full dog bit suit all the time because I my see a dog, sometime in the future.

I still don't understand what's 'hardcore' about being tied to builds. XD
