Is it better optimized than in the previous (two week long) beta? the FPS got unbearably slow once I got inside the jungle.
Sure its fun the first ACT, but when you start doing second ACT, you realize its the same, just with changed scenery and the game becomes very repetitive. You cant possibly judge something from just hearing about it (Diablo III) and by playing it a bit (PoE).
Well I played Diablo 3's first act and couldn't finish it because it was so boring and different to what I liked in Diablo II (atmosphere, look of the game etc). In PoE so far I dont have this feeling, so its nice. Will see how it is in Act 2 as you say.
It just makes me laugh when everyone is criticizing D3 while praising PoE to heavens.
