Got to play like 50 minutes of PoE at gamescom and it really is sensational. I think it plays so much stronger than D4 and much more complexity to keep you around too. I’m starting with marvel rivals because PoE will be an all in kinda game

An *illusion* of choice. Nothing is going to disappear after a few years and most gamers won't even remember a release date after 6 months.

PoE2 is going to eat your life eventually. Might as well start with Indy, then Marvel for a bit before you lose the rest of 2025 to PoE2.

chummsy.bsky.social•184 days ago

That's true. My only issue is Monster Hunter will release February and definitely take over my 2025. Too many great games!

munky3000.bsky.social•184 days ago

I’m here for the POE2 hype train. Paul are you going to be trying it?

sonofnumenor313.bsky.social•182 days ago

Still knee deep in Stalker 2 madness and now these 3. Don’t sleep on Delta Force, releasing later today as well, it looks good.

chummsy.bsky.social•184 days ago

There's way too many good games releasing in such a short span. I'm also looking forward to Avowed, Civ 7 and of course Monster Hunter all in February! How am I supposed to make a reasonable dent in the games you listed by then!?

Can't speak for anyone else but the choice seems pretty clear for me, and that's PoE 2...assuming the servers don't completely implode.

munky3000.bsky.social•184 days ago

I’m so hyped for POE2. Just got my shirt in the mail yesterday from my supporter pack.

chummsy.bsky.social•184 days ago

There's definitely hope with it costing at least $30 to enter, but it would be pretty sick to be able to actually play on Day 1!

ddalglish.com•184 days ago

Help, probably, but I have a feeling this game is going to be a staggering success.

chummsy.bsky.social•184 days ago

Yeah, for sure. Everyone is talking about it. This one is definitely gonna make PoE mainstream.

ajswain.online•184 days ago

Oh they will. But I’m hopeful

ddalglish.com•184 days ago

Yeeeeah, probably. I'm not even gonna try to play day one. Gonna give them a few days to put out fires.

ajswain.online•184 days ago

That’s my thought too, but I get a WHOLE HOUR for lunch and I really wanna try then haha.

ddalglish.com•184 days ago

I wish you the best of luck! Make sure you get that sucker downloaded in advance. Be cruel to have most of your lunch hour spent staring at a progress bar :)

ajswain.online•184 days ago

Yep! Plan is as soon as it’s available I’m gonna start downloading it. Hopefully it’s not during my break! :)

cardinalmdm.bsky.social•183 days ago

Does it, though? 🤔

PoE2 is early access, and progress isn't carrying to full release...

Indiana Jones, lest I'm missing something, isn't live service, so...play it whenever.

Marvel Rivals IS a live service and PvP to boot.

If there's conflict, pick Marvel. The other two will be there when ready.

digigraves.bsky.social•184 days ago

It'll be Rivals for me. I don't particularly care for PoE and the Indiana Jones game doesn't interest me at all.

Rivals should have staying power. It's a very good game that shows a lot of promise - haven't been this excited about a competitive game release in years.

joshmck.bsky.social•184 days ago

They all kinda appeal to different audiences tbf, but I could see you doing it like Indy first (since it has more of a definitive end), breaking it up with Marvel Rivals, then PoE after.

Either way, I feel like these competing release dates have been common this year - I'm so far behind rn lol

fudeezyy.bsky.social•184 days ago

Idk what I’m going to do 😩😩

calliibrations.bsky.social•184 days ago

Reminds me of when AC Origins, Wolfenstein 2, and Super Mario Odyssey shared a release date back in 2017

mcgriffin.bsky.social•184 days ago

I'm most excited for Indy, but also want to play POE2.

jdkennedy.bsky.social•182 days ago

POE2 is the choice here. Indi can wait. Rivals looks like a mobile game.

aadimascio.bsky.social•180 days ago

POE 2 for me, just wish MTX transferred from PS5 and PC like Xbox instead of being locked to only when playing on playstation. I do most of my gaming these days from console or cross progress but this may stay on PC.

falchiontcg.bsky.social•184 days ago

do people not play multiple games these days? Indiana jones is single player, you can buy now and wait to play or hop on and off. POE 2 is live service so not going anywhere and rivals is free so there's no commitment required. Am I missing something?

chummsy.bsky.social•184 days ago

I think it's just that a lot of people don't have a lot of time to game, so you generally gotta pick 1 or you won't make decent progress before the next sick batch of games release.

chummsy.bsky.social•184 days ago

I, personally, feel like I don't have enough time before I solely devote my free time to Monster Hunter Wilds! But I do plan on at least dabbling in everything a bit.

falchiontcg.bsky.social•184 days ago

yeah that's fair.
