Souls like?

In term of difficulty not gameplay...

[Zeke68]

Soulslike?? lol, people have forgotten to challenge themselves just a little. This game will be easier than you think IF you learn to play it and take your time with fights, not just trying to rush through it.

[SoloZelot90]

Anything that mainstream considers slightly challenging they now refer to as soulslike. It's got nothing to do with souls games. These journos arent very creative in their writing... It's a tad lazy.

[Mulletino]

Using the term "soulslike" guarantees clicks

[Zeke68]

Just curious, did downvoters downvote for "This game will be *easier than you THINK*, or downvotes for you thought I wrote "This game will be easy" ?? ;)

[Dudeson]

Yeahhh 30 to 40 hours of campaign length probably. If the game has you in its clutches, you're in for hundreds maybe thousands.

Right, thats only story playthrought, then you have endless endgame!

[anast]

Hyped!!!! A bunch of people from Last Epoch and Diablo are going to be moving in too. This game is about to blow up.

[Gameseeker_Frampt]

Such a downgrade. So long Cruel and Merciless, POE2 is chasing the Soulslike train so you cannot make the game harder by choice.

[Xristo]

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, cruel and merciless was only in the labs, and you can still add difficulty by applying (up to) 8 points in specific endgame atlas tree sections (ie. breach, delilerium, ritual, and expedition)... the harder they are the better the rewards.

“ it offer souls like gameplay”
“ it offers souls like difficulty”
“ it offers souls like textures”
“ it offers souls like lighting”
“ it offers souls like menus”
“ it offers souls like start screen”

[Xristo]

Soulslike... as in it's harder than most exile-like arpgs... it's NOT literally Soulslike

[CrimsonWing69]

Look man, Souls-like is for games that are like Souls games… if a game is hard we don’t call it a Souls-like. Give me a f*cking break…

[ocelot07]

Have i understood this right. This is a free to play game releasing in a few days. But you have to pay to gain access and the free to play part comes in sometime next year?

It “features” a soulslike difficulty, From what I know, its not the default difficulty.

[Zeke68]

The game is hard if you think you can just rush through it and/or if you don't manage the gear/weapons during leveling. Videos out show people getting lucky with great drops early in the game and just run through most content in the first 2 acts just like that. But most of us will probably need to upgrade now and then and keep an eye out for useful upgrades while leveling.
I don't know what you mean by "default setting" as I understand it the game only offers one difficulty during campaign. But in the endgame you can add modifiers to make bosses and content much harder if you want even better loot. But that's up to each player if they use that option or not. That could be the real soulslike experience imho.

[dmonee]

Thats what i meant

[Zeke68]

@dmonee Oki, sorry if I was "slow" ;)

This is what happens when make shit a personality and spend your active hours, using buzzwords all damn day. Just say it is challenging and has a difficulty curve.
