00:00Path of Exile's overwhelming complexity isn't the real reason new players pass on it,
00:04Director believes. And I gotta say, I have to agree with the man because that's not the main
00:09issue why people don't play it. I would even argue that outdated visuals and animations
00:14aren't problem as well. The problem lies in the fact that the game can be very exhausting.
00:20For example, every single time you make a new character you need to slog through the campaign
00:24again and again. Maps are way too large, and sometimes loot and rewards often don't feel
00:30satisfying. On top of that, you have difficulty spikes and one-shots, which are completely asinine.
00:36And finally, the biggest criticism would be that the game that is the second one is in early access,
00:41and I feel it got launched too early, which then resulted in even more frustration, particularly
00:48when they were changing things that Path of Exile 1 didn't have, but then we ended up playing it being
00:53some kind of a test guinea pigs. And pretty much that suffered my experience to the point that
00:58I don't even want to engage with the newest patch that's going to launch really soon. Who knows,
01:04maybe they will fix things when Patch 1.0 finally launches, but at the present moment, I really,
01:11really don't want to mess with Path of Exile 2 because I simply don't want to be a QA tester.
