PoE Was Only Loved Because Of #Hype

[Roguey]

I didn't know that. -_-

I think the Metacritic user score got raided by angry Gamergate neckbeards after the whole poem drama. At least I remember it being around 8.9.

Not that that anybody should give half a shit about Metacritic anyways.

Nobody cares what you think.

Facts:
I saw one negative review related to the Firedorn poem..

Devils Advocate Feels:
On top of that - are we just gonna hand wave away the potential positive reviews this medicore game probably got because they caved to tranny demands.
I bet people who didn't even buy the game ran to upvote the crap out of it for being inclusive.
Agree that metacritic is shit. Wasn't the point I was making at all with this thread.

Clearly you do.

I saw 3. Add the fact that biggest concentration of 0 point reviews occured on April 4 when the story broke out, and it doesn't take Einstein to figure out what happened.

On top of that - are we just gonna hand wave away the potential positive reviews this medicore game probably got because they caved to tranny demands.

Yeah, we will, because such thing never happens. Professionally outraged trannies don't praise things. When they win, they just move onto the next thing they are outraged about.

Wow my eyes hurt just reading your retarded shit.

There's a huge practical difference between 100% pickpocket and 250% pickpocket in BG2

I honesty hated the beta I found the combat terrible and the lack of precombat buffs was annoying as well as the muscle wizard retardness but after I got over it it wasnt bad, the gf started playing with a rouge this weekend ( after watching a bunnyhop video of all things) and having a good mix of AI for fighter types makes the game surprisingly smooth. Maybe the fact that I liked the IE games (not worshipped them) helped me to get over the fact and if you are using metacritic 84 sounds just about right for the game; a beautifull looking homage that is neither a masterpiece nor a blasphemy on the genre
In the end I guess I have more important things than cutting my veins over the game, it is fine and I am thinking of using an old save to do the white march

This.

So does this topic count as an official review about PoE reviews? +1 to Codex reviews about PoE?

 

[DeepOcean]

I think is time for another review to keep the codex civil war between Obsidianites and the Codex KKK going on. Last time there was drama, stabs in the back, betrayals, people changing sides, bitchy butthurt galore, it was Shakespeare material. The codex is almost boring right now.

 

[Invictus]

With sensuki as the ultimate "et tu bruti" when his fanboi dreams of having his opinions taken as gospel turn into bitter disapointment

 

[Lerk]

Oh look. Immortal farming brofists by going for the low hanging fruit. I'm shocked.

He thinks anyone that doesn't hate this game is a fanboy. He uses that term a lot because he can't argue for shit. And he posts more about PoE than any apparent fanboy on these boards. WTF is this topic even about? Clickbait for morons, it says a whole bunch of fuck all. Metacritic. Hype. Lol. He's a Codexian cliche, a poor man's Skyway.

Like a beaten wife Immortal predictably can't help crawling back, bleeding from his ass and vagina, mewling about the evils of Sawyer. Again. Yawn.

Still. I finally get to use ignore. Certainly nothing of value will be lost. But keep farming those KKKs champ!

To drama, or not to drama -- that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of POE reviews
Or to take arms against a sea of 'tards
And by opposing enrage them. To suffer --
Forever -- the cause of the troll lest we end
The heartache, and the thousand triggers
That mind is heir to.

Stillwater Giant Brofists this.

I don't think he can see that.

Also, you really are everything he says you are!

I didn't deny that. I just think it's funny everyone who E-hates me has a PoE portrait as their avatar.. Without any shred of irony or introspection.
At least I know that my posting is somewhere between Hyperbole at best and leaning towards outright trolling.

I made all my real talk points back when the game came out.. at this point it's just for shits and giggles until PoE 2 comes out, not sure why people take me seriously.


EDIT:

I don't think he can see that.

Ignore doesn't mean shit on this forum - it's a symbolic statement to say "oh hes a shit poster" but I know for a fact many of the people / alts who have me on ignore always click the little "Show This Users Post".
People on this forum have way too much personal investment in their online ego's to ignore anything related to themselves or the games they care about.

People praises Pillars of Eternity, not only because of the hype but because they don't know better, let me (mis)quote Aaron Sorkin's American President:

They're so thirsty for it they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand.

People don't drink the sand because they're thirsty. They drink the sand because they don't know the difference.

Most people wouldn't recognize good writing or good mechanics because they're too fucking dumb to recognize either.

Correct.

Its also correct that most of the people who are too fucking dumb, actually think very highly of themselves, and spend their days cruising the internet, making posts exactly like yours.

Ironically, I think POE was so disappointing to some people because of the hype. A lot of people wanted it to be a BG2, and/or the True Icon of the Incline. As much as I enjoy the game, it is neither.

BG2 lol. Try Torment. And that's what the game should have been too.

 

[ZagorTeNej]

Bonerbill brofists IHaveHugeNick's post..

Leave muh POE alone!!

Sawyer is a fucking genius.

 

[Roguey]

Try Torment. And that's what the game should have been too.

I like how when Chris Avellone made his big "What should we Kickstart?" post, almost everyone (including me) told him to make something Torment-esque only with most of the combat displaced off the critical path, but Feargus didn't want that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ii think PoE broke me, I haven't even touched vidya since. And I tried to like it, and defended it a lot.
