First Impressions

Comparing the Games

This new place open can't your old spot this new it's not fair place wasn't it first opened it is now you have to this new place get the spot uh what both places they're both at the they're same fact directly competing another to provide service therefore I'm to judge this place against the other place also agree favorite significantly than it is and far fewer fact it three times less still going judge available to me as a customer an as already said believe the product to the other is just well you're biased your favorite burger spot that analogy the Crux last Epoch versus of Exile going on recently my previous video which a review of Epoch the update my the ring and got some things to clarify here now if you not review don't worry to you need to know in my last Epoch relative what I believe to of any action RPG itemization and that it was spot massively state but it doesn't different to other came before the way yeah here that point of copying other args moment to that every moment moment that before last time checked of an that last Epoch but hey bro you good for itemization good but ingame uh pretty to now is dropped review solely stated based did by talking everything an arpg any as quality world building sound design just combat and on top that directly compared last Epoch Path of Exile each of pillars ultimately does but I did not give enough context as I to simply 5 minutes of those clearly grounds for review so don't take any issue with people said the review

Comparing the State of the Games

Let's play the analogy game again, shall we? last depec is an action RPG that is available to play year of Exile also action RPG is to play 2024 therefore I going to directly compare the games state args available for matter in 2024 in their is like imagine specifically movies as the first time saw an movie it fundamentally reshaped you forever a theater and it doesn't an IMAX going to when someone dude you have to give time just it to theaters have IMAX is a valid point whatsoever now response definitely could be sure I this theater it gets but change the that straight up IMAX right to related to games dismissing any criticism by Epoch just hit compare its lack of content now invalid work period And even you you to years Poe's 5 is the time took to from to 1.0 if you it it get better you I what Poe had what it the inverse with Epoch I what it now man game has even game doesn't have potential even 4 game that I at most a four 10 potential like blizzard theoretically decide sell Diablo on studio and studio have set Diablo in right finally or know blizzard could we're wh ifs we're dealing with the whats Nows directly as a product in its to every other similar in current state period that uh did go back of Exile to last Epoch we release of Exile puts us 7th 2013 on 7th saw of first challenge leagues and Onslaught not know of Exile seasonal two simultaneously softcore Anarchy was sophomore mechanic that spawned in with builds dropped an entire of on Onslaught on the the hardcore League mechanic was Onslaught to the 20% cast and movement speed yep the entire league can't say you win them all boys cool so you know Poe okay now let's Poe 5 years after development which again deac from Early Access to 1.0 5 Path 5 years Onslaught that us league during 2018 which incursion a a bit Anarchy League around ataad this area with Alva to as encountered would progress towards the modern location into a you teleported you back time monsters choice one two you got some loot your temple progressed on of architect whichever one spared was the upgraded if was given the and Warehouse Architects and I cell my would then warehouse one tier there were a tiers the final substantially more reward than the first two finally after you completed incursions that entire thing just 11 would locate and there the the modern era with chance face boss you actually remember to connect the rooms you s go forget again

Content Comparison

League long increased and movement also just described to you league mechanic entire patch 3.3.0 had much content added with content 11 new new support 31 new unique new cards roughly 70 and passive tree changes and that was one single League years after the launch mention for path of EXO the time was for the which revamped and by the mapping as actually first able to influence Maps as well as the of using sex to specific that both still used in to this day hold there that one know what please me a the original elder was a to and sex and overlapping cumbersome I PTSD from seeing the red circles together mechanics you just described our as flesh out day yeah cool bro just did classic internet thing one specific my statement the taking of context and then using it man my argument dude oh guess incursion Del Del a league this day people still their endgame of choice they straight ignore everything that has just to it up League mechanic was the very 5-year-old Exile now you have the to what of like in and years that point but woodl de actually 2019 so two months to just stop just stop you to and me that right now better of Exile was to mention Path Exile now you know in current year which is exactly should be two games and in case you last Epoch content any to path of when magically rewinding back 2018 Path of Exile do you much times is even do 2018 Exile last have to the those eras right of is years six freaking years reference before Path seasons in RPG wipe everyone's wipe stash again on the let's fresh nothing whatsoever Path Exile innovated and RPGs 5 years iterated upon idea much to they incursion I 5 years so what 6 years if we compare are still within same to one 6 apart would comparing 1 let me that best case you see to make argument of you can't compare last Path of Exile of which an argument with that argument is equivalent comparing 3 like comparing Call of Duty 1 to Warfare 2 are you are that word illegal it mean it that of criticism is by claiming it's 5 you got to let them cook bro are one a fanboy number two if 11th Hour games released the you would have room temp IQ please save power typing a comment my channel and it for like oh don't know best even mention Epoch added with 1.0 update 5 years hm see see oh part the system you mean prophecies those things from the before cool wow let's go jokes actually enjoy played the or sorry not extra loot you know now it's say the some groundbreaking Innovative loot player RPGs I just that faction set up to a goal and and yes there is more to than the such the I mean the mechanic occasionally find of open and guarded by a that different AES normal all right I mean definitely better 20% speed it's basically with the Rogue Exiles different gear than usual from of Exile first ever you at was going to breaking whole but it's I talk specifics on now I only thing about burgers going talk was menu at the place that place was which actually think that's very valid point in favor last Epoch in fact I've videos exact Topic Path of Exile not but twice you in needed further while prefer Path of Exile I am downfall and always has been its inability to explain things don't with Poe a bloated of game believe that it only feels because it's absolutely explaining new players players just assume of that have no what anyway check out my video on complexity if would like my to take on the My point of is that I will continue be of and really any for that it's I games get better people them it's that anyway back Epoch simplicity yes if you enjoy last Epoch is simple simpler than Path of Exile that's valid because if that conclusion you then must have reached conclusion that despite what of XL or may is simply not figure your the valuable attribute I get but the flip to say well understand that enjoy last Simplicity however I were give the necessary time and you would its overall experience if not more than EPO has both of those you guys last wasn't worth your time Poe because last not worth mine super watered conclusions there need yet again gave last 7 out 10 full so don't start thinking said Epoch wasn't his he hates game all right time to start wrapping things up and do I'll just spitball my thoughts on as now how said that in review on the held up two the three an action art how about everything else last to Sound Music think it's right to be stickler when it comes and it a for me to turn in-game music off within the first hours frankly last Epoch is not of those games me 5 out of 10 sound fine when blow hordes not disappointed by out my but I'm either of design art and design are running through various Landscapes is a sight the genuinely some backdrops in last Epoch 7 out of for both being said the narrative elements those elements together yeah not very good the best the in last as if dumped all of on he his favorite ones and then like them up a story with it's like some it's pretty creative sure really fit together nicely bird the sky and you and then you're looking the god of the ocean then you find a big big guy fighting oh did I traveled back in time the story already all uninspired I give it a of for of [Music] infinite space Auto pickup on and an loot that is to use are probably more things I'm forgetting but those are big ones N9 of 10 for quality life be of if the like away from TP overall content and depth already kind touched one but to pretty shallow give it a out this scale of all simple I I and 4 are here right Diablo are the simplest thing can on this side what do it of course Exile simple complex Diablo of Exile somewhere in middle I closer the franchise somewhere the I found game too now I have much every action RPG released past years Grim Etc I can't say that last was harder than any those I mean even if the Respec of 10 points don't last really the in grinding all of gear and up character there's nothing to and contain identical just damage so is that the way my even get the equivalent getting to and then calling it a it's literally not I review you seem miss maps themselves matter it's what's Maps plus on I played empowered I forgot to mention that that I hours in Epoch before the 1.0 update progressed through some point last to offer any meaningful thus the that feels irrelevant I like that this flaw in the design the fact I last epac throughout its Early lifespan that flaw changed doubt is intentionally designed is intentionally designed be a loot pinata and more offers the in I hate it you into any witch nodes please on any given perform identical anyone else's skill which all that to why at my review that last Epoch has taken of what Diablo I to fill overall depth what I by that statement Point that's fine if have looking for another loot grind just turn brain click buttons and happy then have it last woohoo there you but been for more it's going to fulfill and remember out of like come even bad a of that's pretty good rate if were to say hey man no man think of Exile is seven 10 I'd be what see that you know what that's not I can that me some slack guys thank you watching if you stuck around of the video and if you were the disagreed with in initial review you around the end video sincerely genuinely sticking around to the end fact you of people go ahead and type a face before type your comment in video like whatever you're to before say face it know that you of the end anyway you watching hold and that out you stinky boy
