    I think it might be fair to make the title of the video a bit more neutral compared to what you have now, as your current title makes it look like you think the game is still ultra shit, when in reality your opinion is much more nuanced. maybe add a ", but..." at the end?

Did not regret my purchase, I’m having a lot of fun. There are some visual bugs which are more of an earflick rather than game breaking but looking at the latest message from the devs- they’re working on polishing the existing game now that act4 is released. Great game

As you said, theres few minor bugs, but hey, i prefer to live with these minor bugs than wasting more time on D4. I also gave a try to warhammer 40k inquisitor martyr. I wasnt much into the space theme thing, but i ended up loving this game as well. With these 2 i got my hands full for now.

    I picked it up for ten bucks during the Steam sale, completed Act 3, and rolled credits on the game, after they released Act 4, at around 60 hours of playtime. I played strictly offline, experienced several graphical glitches, and had a few that were frustrating as well. There were things that I really enjoyed about the game and overall I do not regret the purchase.

    Yeah the game has so much potential but the dev team misses a lot of opportunities. Especially in explaining stuff. The skill, weapon and class system is pretty unique compared to most other games but need a lot of time to get into it because abilities can change so much and items can allow you to use cerrtain skills etc. There is a theorycrafter "heisenberg" on youtube that shows a lot of different builds. But all of these are only accessable if you spend hundreds of hours and trying out different things cost hundreds of additional hours. Also a lot of stuff is explained badly. e.g. the melee hammer multiplies damage like crazy when you take the charge passive and multiply it with full weapon damage %. Even on level 60 you suddently hit for half a million instead of 5k and you have no idea why.

    First time I see a streamer of high repute not recommending a game based on "hearing" of others experiencing gamebreaking bugs, even though his gameplay had no such things, MORE than that he actually enjoyed it. I agree with the rest of the points. Can't wait to see a D4 review based on other people complains :) ... could be a long one I restarted from scratch in online mode and had just the invisible spell effects bug (which seems to be patched by now but it was fucking annoying) and one or two disconnects for the whole campaign.

    I played Wolcen a long while ago. Before it had its huge spike actually I think. I generally agree but cannot really say since I played so early the last ring of the passive tree was not even available. I agree that the campaign and story is really good and it seems to have some good bones to it. I am glad to see the devs are sticking with it and updating it. Ever since no man's sky had one of the worst launches ever and flat out lied about features but is now an amazing game. I have some faith in any game where the developers are willing to stick with it.

    The "umm i don't think we can pull this off guys" happened, and they went for a very streamlined, simplified, typical corridor ARPG and worked really hard on polishing that turd and making great trailers for it so people will catch the bait. And they did. Those guys are literally geniuses, they've remade the game into something that didn't remind the original idea and sold that idea as some unknown studio. They've managed to make millions with a few trailers of an alpha game and investing in marketing, the game was in an absolutely terrible state, i'd say one of the worst launches i've ever seen in my entire life. Financially, it was the best idea they could come up with. I remember being hyped up for Umbra too but let's be real, who thought some random studio could pull off such an ambitious project ?

    Played it last week, and was able to play a build that didn't work previously due to certain GoF skills originally not working as worded (as in the skill didn't work at all, but got fixed [eg Archion's Teachings didn't work with staff projectiles but now it does]). Played SSF from level 1 (staff basic attack focus [2-3 projectiles, 4 bounces, critical hit/damage/attack speed], Consuming Embers [willpower spender] and some minions tuned to projectile damage [cos they unexpectedly benefit from the additional projectiles]). I ended up basically deleting everything without ever replaying an area/farming/crafting [first death at Ashava due to hubris], even though some promising GoF nodes still don't work as worded and had to get cut. Got bored around level 60 (most gear still just random rares with 1-2 synergistic stats [end game gear should have all 4 synergistic]). The endgame is almost exactly the same as before outside the interface. Seriously, the act bosses are the only interesting thing once you've hit 60 the first time, but you've already done them and won't face them again (except Ahriman who you face 3 times in total, I believe). Still way too much focus on the irrelevant stuff (cinematics, overall graphics look and feel) without anywhere near enough attention on the things that matter (skills working [and working as advertised!], non-janky mechanics, some actual additional content [1 boss fight and some more enemies is *not* "more content"]). It's a decent game and is better now, but in my opinion the game is held back by how development is managed rather than what the developers are able to deliver.

    I actually played it 32 hours at launch and didn't really have any bugs. I think I was playing offline, though. I really enjoyed it and can't honestly remember why I quit. I think it's just because there was nothing to do after the campaign.

    I was forced to make an offline character at lvl 85 because the game cannot select the proper server. Do yourself a favor and play offline, because during busy hours you will have the worst experience of your life. Other than that, chasing items was really enjoyable, I've sink around 90hrs already, but the problem is the small, almost amateurish bugs that are far more annoying than something that you would see in any other ARPG. I believe if the game had a bigger fanbase, a lot of the tree planers would be updated, and a lot of cool builds would be created.

    I played wolcen at launch and even though alot of people had problems, I actually didn't have that many problems besides having disconnects from time to time. I also remember a boss having a high chance of getting an immortal bug when switching to the second phase (I think I had to fight him over 10 times). Besides that the game was working pretty good and I had alot of fun playing it, sadly on one day they decided to nerf my build so much, that I neither did any dmg anymore and I also wasn't able to tank anything. I think after that patch more than 10k people including me stopped playing that game.

    I remember when I played it close to release I had a summoner build and soon found out I could raise big enemies to be my minions. But since they had unproportional HP and DMG, optimized for the player and not the other enemies. It basically made me immortal and this minion would kill bosses for me in a few hits. Then I got to a boss which forced my minion to disappear and there were no other mobs to possess making the boss fight very tough for me and I quit eventually.

    Great breakdown and retrospective: I agree with this game being a weird experience. I was one of those players that played on launch, and I still have positive memories of it. It is very, very flawed - for all the reasons mentioned esp. busted skills and weird rollbacks. But it really was fun as well. At the end, it wasn't a good game...but there are still lessons from the failure, good stuff to appreciate and hope other games implement or get inspiration from.

    i played wolcen on launch (worked out pretty well for me actually) and i thought the whole citybuilding aspect to its endgame was great. Like even when i was bored out of the game already i thought: "Man. I still wanna finish the city though." - but thats maybe flavour (it should be pointed out that building up the buildings in the city unlocks services for you; like crafting higher quality gear, rerolling gear etc. so its not just an asthetic thing. Its a different way of unlocking these. Like in many games its just a matter of level of your character or storyprogress or somesuch in Wolcen you could pick and choose where to spend your money. Which also meant you could choose what to unlock first and what to unlock later on. Still think its, in general a great idea) The real thing with wolcen was the skilltree though that was not static and i said to everybody who cared to listen back in the day that dynamic stkilltrees are going to be genre-standard. Its a genius idea and adds easy to understand complexity and variety. Just too great an idea to not copy it. Now we are seing it with paragonboards in D4. Its the future, as i predicted. ;-) The reason i stopped playing Wolcen was because the maths was off. Back at release there where like 4 skills that where their own multiplier (while every other skill went into one multiplier same as the main-attribute which made these skills completely insignificant), hence they where WAYYYYY stronger than every other skill on the tree so the challenge of buildcrafting was simply how to reach all these nodes as fast as possible and what to play to be able to utilize them all. not to mention the scaling of attributes that made you deal more damage when you only stacked all attribute points in one stat even if it was defense etc. And that was the point i quit and said: "Ok. Fix this and i will return." because it was really the only problem i had with Wolcen but it was severe, to say the least. In fact i kept it installed for many months after its release and kept reading patchnotes looking for the "calculations of things changed" entries that would have made me return but never saw them. All in all a real shame. Game completely fucked up cause they couldnt do proper maths. Remember Wolcen, kids. Maths is important!

    Did my own playthrough with the new patch and mine was a bug free experience as well so it was generally nice. Your thoughts on the tree and stats hit pretty close to home for me. I assumed that red was the more melee/material focus, green was dex/speed/ranged, purple was magic/occult and at a glance that might seem accurate but that goes off the rails real fast. Very much has a PoE feel of you kinda need to do your research because things aren't as simple as they seem.

    Wolcen's skill system and endgame is crazy fun. Theyve cleaned a majority of bugs and i feel like you guys are talking strictly about the old game or something. No one ever talks about the actual gameplay either- its all just the same echoing of the bugs and early release. I swear none of you have actually played it/beat it lol Biggest critique though is slighlty boring items as only uniques have interesting affixes and the search to get them gets annoying/repetitive. The selection of armor is also a bit limited despite the dye and transmog system

    I play the game on PC since a month and a half now. I believe your review is a bit harsh: - While on consoles are breaking game defects indeed, they do fix them continuously. - On PC , I had no real issues. I understood some people have, but from the feedback I see in the community, this is not the norm. So I guess, for consoles the review is on point, but for PC users I don't think "large amount of bugs" is a fair statement :)

    I remember when I first started out the game was gamebreakingly bugged, but I "toughened" up and got through. I had a sniper/dash build and a lot of things were bugged but I managed to get through... Untill the literal final boss where a bugged interaction between one of the abilities and the boss (some other bosses as well) would result in my attacks just straight up not registering at all. It became literally impossible for me to beat the final boss because of a bug. I got really titled and salty and left and now everytime I want to try it again and see that it still has any bugs at all I think to myself: "I can't handle that dissapointment again... I'm just gonna play Grim Dawn or another genre entirely"
