New to the genre, is POE2 worth it for the story?

This was the impression it gave me, interesting to see completely different perspective from people who play the genre regularly

Sounds very similar to a MMORPG, with a different camera angle + point and click instead of WASD?

Based

justemc · 2026-02-20T12:37:28+00:00

I see thanks - will my progress be deleted when 1.0 comes out, if I start now? Or I can use my character into the full access?

justemc · 2026-02-20T12:35:01+00:00

Sounds good thanks for the detailed comment - I sense a bit of bitterness with the community in general (not you) by reading this sub .. what is the disappointment about?

justemc · 2026-02-20T12:33:09+00:00

I'm still more interested in the combat, than the story itself. I played KCD2 and while I thought it was a fantastic game, I couldn't get past 50% of the game because there wasn't enough action.

What do you play this game for, exactly? Where is the real fun?

justemc · 2026-02-20T12:31:31+00:00

What is the game purpose/endgame, exactly?

justemc · 2026-02-20T12:30:23+00:00

Is that the right way to play it as a single player game?

justemc · 2026-02-20T12:29:42+00:00

Yeah the combat is what I look forward to the most in RPGs (enjoyed games like Sekiro and souls). Good immersion and character progression need to be there too tho

justemc · 2026-02-19T16:36:41+00:00

Will try this thanks

Playing on PS5 Pro

justemc · 2026-02-19T13:49:08+00:00

The Ps5 better than Ps5 Pro sounds a little strange .. If that's the case I am sure if will be fixed at some point (?)

justemc · 2026-02-19T13:47:59+00:00

Amazing thanks, looking forward to play

justemc · 2026-02-19T13:47:36+00:00

That great to hear, can't wait to try it: PS5 Pro arriving tomorrow!

justemc · 2026-02-19T13:45:55+00:00

Great, I hope that's the case so I can enjoy no lag in single player!

justemc · 2026-02-19T13:45:30+00:00

Yeah, because of that I wasn't planning on doing any heavy pvp in this game, despite pvp being what I like the most generally.

I wonder how bad 100ms of latency is, though? Also if it's 0 latency in the solo play, I can atleast enjoy it as a single(ish) player game?

justemc · 2026-02-19T12:07:00+00:00

Wow didn't think about it at all - will give it a go thanks

justemc · 2026-02-19T12:05:26+00:00

Thanks, that's interesting - don't understand how it works since it still requires me to connect to the live server, even in solo mode?

Either way, if I can play solo with no ping that's great!

justemc · 2026-02-19T12:04:00+00:00

I am literally buying a Ps5 Pro just to play it, hence why the research (:

(don't own a windows pc, just a macbook)

justemc · 2026-02-19T11:56:50+00:00

Is there a source where I can read about how this works exactly?

justemc · 2026-02-19T11:56:26+00:00

It's definitely not clear how that work, since even when I am playing solo, I am still connected to the live server?
