Bungie is going to intentionally kill destiny once marathon comes out. They want to chase that extraction shooter money. But if the last couple years of bungie is what to expect in the future, marathon's going to be a colossal flop and Sony is going to take over.

Aztecross is getting a head of the curve because after Final Shape I can't see a lot of D2 hype, and frankly cross is one of the few who can do it. He's got a lot more charisma than most D2 youtubers too, so he's got that going for him

I started an Acolyte in Last Epoch yesterday with the intent of unlocking the warlock based on what I saw, but after a few hours of playing with the summons, I decided to focus into necromancer and dude am I having so much fun just playing around with my own army. Right now I have 2 golems, 5 mage skeletons, 8 archer skeletons, and 6 wraiths. I'm level 53 after a day and I'm already looking forward to try all of the other classes and subclasses.

Cross, I liked his style of review. I have been playing Last Epoch and it is always helpful when a trusted Content Creators, share their resources like in this video in order to get information out on games with their followers and the gaming community. For me personally, I have friends who have either never played a game, or who have not played a certain games as much that will come and ask me to explain the details of how a certain game's systems work and it is nice to have a trusted Content Creator to send them to. I have followed you for years now on all things Destiny and other games as well. When friends come ask me things about builds, or a "how to" on endgame content, I can just go find one of the videos that you have put together and link it to that friend. Then explain that Cross' video can explain it better than I can. I said all of that to say, as a Last Epoch player, this review has helped me gain a better understanding of the games end game systems. Thank you for all you do and for the dedication to the gaming industry that you provide.

This game looks absolutely fantastic, and this style of review video was awesome. Jarrod did a great job answering questions and talking about the game, I can tell he is very knowledgeable about the genre. This has potential to be such a cool game. I love the infinite vault space, that's so huge. The skill trees and build potential and the way the loot sounds like it works really shine brightly for me, and it makes me hype to get into the game. I think something you guys didn't really touch, and I don't know if it will be like this, but typically in other games like Diablo 3 when you make a seasonal character, you're not just doing it to experience all of the new stuff. That's part of it, and as you do it season after season you find faster and more efficient ways to go through the leveling, which is really cool, but there are usually leaderboards that show how high people were able to push in dungeons and rifts, and you could look those up in game, and they typically had builds attached to them so you could see what the masters were using to get that far. It was pretty cool, and added a whole different angle to the game that I personally really enjoyed. We are definitely missing that in Diablo 4 as of the last time I played it (season 1), but if they implement something like that in Last Epoch, the replayability and the thrill of the chase is going to be very high. I'm hyped to check it out, hopefully some content from Last Epoch makes it to the channel while we're in the slow Destiny times!

@Lslegs279 ай бұрын
I don't think you guys mentioned in important aspect on itemization. Loot from other classes that you aren't playing can drop which Diablo 4 doesn't do and is a huge misstep. What makes arpgs fun is making alts and getting cool items for other classes incentivizes you to create multiple characters (also makes trading a lot more enjoyable too). I have tried many arpgs and could never get sucked into the games for more than 40 to 50 hours. I bought this game on Wednesday and already have 40 hours in the game and I think about it when I'm not playing it lol. Im hooked right now.

Your guest did a wonderful job. He very much had his finger on the pulse of this genera and did a great job comparing them. As a casual player in the genera for decades now: For me, I fell in love with D2 as a teenage. I found D3 to be lack luster, but enjoyable. And D4 was an over-hyped, over-monetized husk of a game. In the other direction, I very much enjoy POE. But it's too much. I get frustrated with how complex it can be, having to spend more time in the build editor (POB) than designing a new character in-game. As he said, Last Epoch is perfectly between the two IP's in complexity and systems. And for that reason, this is my new #1 ARPG.

PoE does touched time travel with the Legion (Timeless Battles between different Factions ) and Alva Temple (Killing Engineers of Temple of Atzoatl from the past to shape the present Temple to get target loots) league mechanics. It's not a PoE staple in terms of gameplay and story but definitely touched that concept. There's a lot of LE mechanics that was insipired from PoE too like: Monolith - Synthesis Circle of Fortune - Prophecies Arena - Simulacrum Regardless of which is which, both games did a very good job at getting those mechanics to be implemented in their own game. Hopefully you can explore PoE too.

Last Epoch actually takes a lot of notes from POE. The itemization and affixes/implicits, the way stats work and armor/dodge are similar. Things like how damage scales and even effects like ignite. Not to mention the style of itemized crafting. The developers even said they were inspired by POE. So it’s a good in between of Diablo and POE that brings in those players that want deep mechanics, and the players that don’t want to have to think about much.
