I really want to try PoE2 on PS5 but it looks pretty confusing and the skill tree is massive. Closest thing I’ve played to this would be Diablo.

anast152d ago

They simplified PoE2 a bit, not to Diablo levels, but the passive tree will be easier to manage than PoE1. Give it a try, I think you will be surprised if you like ARPGs.

I tried playing PoE1 multiple times and it never really clicked for me due to its complexity (and I found the combat a little unengaging).

I've just started PoE2 and I am instantly enjoying it. It's basically what I wanted from Diablo 4. Especially loving the combat so far.

Dang I might have to pick it up after all. I was just worried about the complexity mostly.

Yeah doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as long as they have enough supply.

Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.

I don't think it's so much Thanksgiving, but that Black Friday is the day after.

That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.

Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.

I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.

Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
