Critique is good and most welcomed as far as i am concerned.
I love this game but quite frankly it's far from perfect in it's current iteration, there are numerous things which can be ironed out, improved, balanced, and features which can be expanded upon since they aren't living up to their potential (stronghold for example is just an empty shell of a feature compared to what it could realistically be), not by any stretch.
Also there are obvious issues with the AI, pathfinding, certain mechanics such is stealth for example, the need to constantly run in scout mode with speed turned up in order to not miss a lot of things (a LOT of people really dislikes this judging from this and various other boards), underpowered classes, questionable design decisions regarding attributes and what you gain from them (yes, it is a problem for numerous people from a RP and gameplay point of view that Might increases both your physical and magical prowess, and Sawyer really didn't have to go out of his way trying to reinvent the wheel here especially since the old way is better).
All in all it has to be said that critique can only lead to a better, more polished game here, unlike the OP's attempt to silence it.
The point is not that there are critiques about objective elements of the game. The point is “game too easy” “game too hard” “can I haz gamez without battlez plz” “I can’t play this game if I can’t walk” “__________ (insert whatever you want here) breaks my IMMERRRRSHUUNNN”
Yes, there are always trolls, on every board of every game in existence, especially in the RPG genre.
That being said, i don't even go to threads such are the ones you have mentioned since those very titles reek of BS and my troll sensors start beeping immediately.
Seriously, go read them, some of them are dead serious.
There’s this one guy that did want to have no battles in the game. The walking one is also pretty common.
I thought it was trolling at first, but many aren’t.

"The game is soooo booooring? Will that be fixed in the next patch?"
That behaviour in people is what I find too entitled.
Anybody who finds the game to be boring has every right to raise their issues. They paid for the fun that was promised and they're not getting it.
Here is a prime example of self entitlement.
If one isn’t having fun, it’s one’s problem.
I might hate a movie and my friend think it’s the best movie ever. After we go to the movies should I ask my money back because it was not what I expected? This is pure bull****.
If one does not like the game, move on ffs. People forget one basic thing: you do not have to play the game. It doesn’t matter if you paid for it. Paying for something does not mean you must actually have to play, use, etc.
-
I've pointed this out before.
I agree. I think it's baffling the sense of self entitlement some people are showing here.
Complaining about bugs or serious balancing issues is fine, but most whiners want the game to fit their whims instead of trying to adapt to what is proposed. It's pathetic.

Wait... is 8 a bad score?
If you took tests at school/university, based on a scale of 1-10, and your score was 8, would you really find it bad? Really?
yeah most of the time an 80% would be a let down for me
You must be very cool!
Eh, I know personally of someone who cried because he didn't get a 10 in a test in high school.Wait... is 8 a bad score?

Yeah, there’s always this guy. Don’t be this guy.

Rigggght...that old vocal minority thing again huh. Now where I have seen that recently around here.....
I dunno what the chip on your shoulder is, but you better HOPE we're a tiny minority of Obsidian's customers.
There are currently 625 people browsing this forum.
If that's more than half of the people who bought POE then the game just tanked hard.
You do understand that a very small percentage of a games players actually bother to come to a forum right? And those that have, and conducted in this poll...GoG users are far from a small minority. I'll equate Steam to One Direction, Miley, Beiber....just because something is popular and sheep masses flock to it, make it good it does not.
As for hoping, ummm why?
One Direction and Miley are good tho’

Steam cloud for saves is reason enough for me. I could careless about DRM.

I was surprised that I could kill Gordy. I was quite pleased since I couldn’t do that in other games such as Fallout.

Are we done yet?
No, this is internet circlejerk material for months

"Can we have a mod make a locked, sticky topic for this please? Maybe then, people will stop ranting about it and this PR nightmare can be shut down before it gets any worse."
You fear discussion? Yup. I believe you do.
"Everything else is a conspiracy theory in your head because you deny to end this ****storm. It over. Done. Get over it."
TRIGGERED!
It’s not a discussion anymore. The author consented. If anyone should be outraged it was him and nobody else. He isn’t. You are going beyond reason and you will get nowhere because you don’t want to “discuss”, you want people agree with what you feel and nothing else.

They may have told you you had a choice Firedorn but you really didn't. That limerick of yours was being changed no matter what once the ****storm started. This is just a way for them to save face. The decision to make the limerick change was made the moment Sawyer reacted to it on twitter.
If he said they asked him and he accepted, case closed. Everything else is a conspiracy theory in your head because you deny to end this ****storm. It over. Done. Get over it.

Well, everyone wanted a patch, they gave two.

When you go online, on a discussion forum, you are likely to find more people with problems.
I’m not saying that there are no bugs. There clearly are, otherwise we wouldn’t have that huge patch notes. However many here, including myself, never saw game breaking (real game breaking, because some people were saying that not being able to walk is game breaking...) bugs. The only thing *I* particularly experienced was somewhat frequent crashes that happen on MacBooks, and somedays they don’t happen. I’ve played 28h already.
I’m not that used to play games that are this complex, but I remember, for example, that when I played Skyrim, Fallout 3, and New Vegas they were incredibly bugged. Do that justify the state of this release? No, but if you are surprised by a few bugs (yes, a few, severe but a few) then you must be new in gamin
I don't want to sound rude, but it doesn't matter what *You* personally never experienced. You might never have been to Nepal, but I can assure you it exists. People aren't surprised that there are bugs, but that there are bugs that outright stop/destroy the whole progress, that none of the testers found them and that some people are actively trying to deny/justify their existence.
I don’t want to sound rude, but the first thing I did was to acknowledge their existence and also recognised their severity.
What I said was it is not surprise to see bugs in this kind of game. The other 3 games that I mentioned as exemple had grave bugs. Skyrim on PS3 was, for instance, condemned to be unplayable after around 60h because the save files would grow so big that it would render the game like a PowerPoint presentation.
Does that excuse the flaws in this game? Absolutely not. But the tentative patch notes are up, they are releasing every fix possible as soon as it is possible. There is absolutely no point in complaining, unless you are reporting a new bug.

I don’t care people opinions about the writing quality, “ermahgerd too much godlikes” etc. I enjoy reading the fragments of story quite a bit

After a few posts I’m pretty sure he is trolling. The trolling game was strong at first but he couldn’t keep it up.
The double-standard moralists are so real that this is a pretty easy topic to troll.
BTW this immersion thing is getting old. Living in a world where there is no cursing is immersion breaking. Playing a game where you can score a critical hit is immersion breaking. Having the monster exploding is immersion breaking — having a effin monster is immersion breaking. Having to use K+M to play is immersion breaking. Having to select options in a text box is immersion breaking. Not being able to talk whatever I want to whatever NPC is immersion breaking.

I think there should be a sticky topic where people can vent about difficulty “x” is not what they wanted it to be...

Interesting, I’ll give it a shot, but there’s another topic where a lot of MacBook users are having the same issue. Not sure if it’s the steam version.

In my case I can´t stand games with overloaded interfaces and tons of floating numbers. I don´t ever bother trying, no matter the quality of the game.This isn´t the case with Poe, since there are many options to hide ui elements, but regarding this other "minor thing" we are talking about, it´s a potencial gamebreaking too.
I think people are starting to use the word “gamebreaking” to broadly nowadays...
:(
Racial Villification, did you feel any?

As an Orlan myself, I feel offended by the game
