Path of Exile 2 Lead Chris Wilson got Addicted to watching Asmongold

[@CrimsonFIame]

He seems like such a massive nerd. Something we need more of within the gaming industry.

[@nencrows_4580]

If we had more nerds the games that are comeing out would be so much better.

[@m.h.4907]

That's the reason why PoE is so good, because it is made by gamers for gamers, not by devs for the suits or the stock exchange

[@axel_r_]

He also seem like a geek (gamer).

[@thomasf.1754]

It is full of nerds, its just the execs part that fucks everything over, they just need to stop interfering and sit back and let these guys make them the money they only care about.

[@willo1345]

Chris seems like such a genuine guy. Its nice to see at least some people like him in the gaming industry.

[@Tiniuc]

He is. I've known him for 24 years. He has barely changed since when I first met him. It's one of his best traits.

[@bennydesu5807]

They are indeed very addictive and Asmon only makes the games more enjoyable to play

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

He made Diablo 4 a more enjoyable game to play?

[@georgeconnley2236]

[@Shzzaam]

​@@courtingdeath3364That nerd doesn't speak for an audience at all he spews his opinions and his teenage viewers eat it up then regurgitate it like it's their opinion. These devs are simply dickriding a streamer to stay in his good gracious for boost sells.

Bro..! Vampire survivors is GOD Tier.! Even for mobiles..!

[@CelestialDesign]

Vamp survivors, bdo, and d4 lol. Unfortunately the last one was -$70 and horrible.

[@damnson9170]

I thought vampire survivors was ass when I first saw asmon play it but after playing it on my brothers acc (for 6 hours straight) I then bought it myself

Same I never would have tried VS or Halls of Torment if not for Asmon

[@douglasmurdoch7247]

Bruh wait until your try halls of torment

[@juryo_]

idk how to describe it but Chris is such a real person. You never hear about higher ups in the game development space watching streams, playing their own games or being really passionate about showcasing what his team has been working on tirelessly for years. Just seems like every other gaming CEO is an NPC.

[@charpad6690]

Yep Chris is one of those last gems out there, man is a true business man and a gamer.

[@alancode2147]

You used to. Mike Morheim and Chris Metzen were giant nerds at Blizzard. Alas, gone are those days where those in power at Blizzard actually enjoy the game they make. Glad Chris still carries GGG like that though.

as a developer i can relate. if im not developing im wasting time on asmongold clips.

Do both bro, Asmon on the left monitor makes it more enjoyable development process

[@gustavo7074]

​@@Valientee16there's something else about debugging a code while asmon is in the other screen saying "I cannot believe these developers got so lazy, man"

[@DreamskyDance]

Here..! ..another 2nd monitor Asmongold developer XD It's nice that lately he streams late his time and early my time ( EU ) so i get to listen Asmon live in the background while drinking morning coffee and going over tasks for the day and all that.

[@yawarapuyurak3271]

​@@gustavo7074bruh, you too? I'm here banging my head against the keyboard due to some weird as limitation on dynamic imports that only happens because of how we import svgs, and Asmon is next screen saying "Developers are so lazy man, do they even care?"

[@Dr.UldenWascht]

Asmon got so genuinely happy hearing this, I can see his hairline visibly progress back a little and de-bald.

[@Killboyy-kx2bo]

So now Asmon ever needs to get something fixed in PoE, he just needs to make a video about it while playing Vampire Survivors or Halls of Torment.

[@FlameMage2]

He just needs to say them at 0.5 speed so Chris can hear it at regular speed lol

[@db212006]

But he's super casual when it comes to POE. He always gets things mixed up. He confuses attack and cast when it comes to elements. Doesn't understand more vs increased, he gets mixed up on so many things when I watch him play. I could go on forever. I love Asmon but he should never talk about fixing things in POE IMO. He only knows about 20% of the game really. Me and my buddy always cringe when he plays and tries to explain things and is wrong. He says he played since beta, but he's kinda a n00b tbh. and that's okay, just don't think anyone should listen to his opinions on the game.

[@midono77]

@@db212006 wow so someone that played thousands of hours like since beta and still doesn't understand the game like you said, that shows how garbage this game is no? i could become a god in most other games if i put that time in lol. a game that need 15k hours to be good holy is trash.

[@db212006]

@@midono77 On the other hand, Imagine playing 15k hours and still having content and learning stuff about your favorite game. It all depends on what you consider fun and if u like learning, crafting, and understand stats and how they can bounce off one another. Asmon has never taken the time. He gets to maps and quits every time. You can play every league since beta but if you don't do endgame, you are still a noob.

[@slipknot1943]

David brevik was also one of the people who made diablo 1 under the name of condor before it was sold to blizzard and so became blizzard north. He also lived near mount diablo hence the name..

[@ZwrP]

two other dudes in there were his colleagues from D1 and D2, Max and Erich Schaffer who ended up making Torchlight 1 and 2, this panel was pretty stacked with Arpg founding fathers lol.

[@MrVvulf]

If you go to the 12 minute and 30 second mark of the video entitled "How One Gameplay Decision Changed Diablo Forever | War Stories | Ars Technica", you can listen to David Brevik tell the story of how Diablo 1 went from a Turn-Based game to a Live-Action game, in his own words. He wrote all the coding necessary in a single day.

[@TheMirrorYouDeserve]

Halls of Torment showed me what games need to be fun for me. It is not the graphics, marketing, hype, crazy new stuff or whatever. It needs a well balanced game with focus on the things that really matter. It is such a simple game but gave me the best experience in 2023 so far. The big companies can learn from that when they want to make enjoyable games again and not the most profitable games.

[@fosphor8920]

I went back and beat Baldurs Gate 1. Not the best game in the series, but damn did they have the fundamental RPG mechanics and the whole DND engine... They don't make games like this anymore :/

[@tachometer-flac]

He was LIVE on Twitch ages ago. Someone in chat asked him about Blizzard and D3. He said no one reached out. If Blizzard contracted David to make D4 it would certain have fewer bugs and connection issues because he's a perfectionist. I was watching him play Minecraft that day and his wife commented, "why does every tunnel have to be perfect David?" Hahaha

[@Seb_Falkor]

I agree. I enjoy playing both games but I enjoy throwin on asmon playing them as background noise just as much tbh

Remember when streaming first got really big, and most devs hated their game being streamed because they thought it was taking away sales? Pepperidge farm remembers.
