    So this thing sits at 376th with a 58% win rate over 309 duels, which honestly tells me the voter pool is just too niche to place it fairly against the usual suspects.

    UlicesByte

    Honestly fair point, my votes lean the same way.

    FramePlayer

    The voter pool argument feels like an excuse though, other niche genres still climb higher when they earn it...

  2. CoopKnight4

    People keep pitting this against open world RPGs but the voter base clearly comes from different crowds entirely.

    IronPlayer

    You'd think the crowd difference would explain the win rate, but I still lost interest around the same act everyone mentions here.

    Honestly I've lost more sleep to this game than to any relationship I've had, and I don't even feel bad about ranking it this high.

    Pareil de mon côté, sauf que la première ligue m'a clairement perdu avant de m'accrocher pour de bon.

    Ça vient vraiment que de communautés différentes ou c'est juste plus dur d'accès, du coup?

    lo mío fue distinto, entré por streams y ni dormí esa semana, cero relación con perder el sueño por una relación real

    not sure why this sits where it does, the systems are deep but the onboarding is brutal for anyone new, feels overrated for casual voters

  5. BerryRunner

    Oh sure, it's deep, if by deep you mean a wiki tab open at all times just to understand your own character.

    I've put real time into it but I'm not convinced it earns wins against the games it keeps beating in these polls.

    SammieDragon

    I'll never say the onboarding is fine, it's rough, but once it clicks nothing else scratches the same itch.

    Combat feels heavier and more tactical than the open world stuff people compare it to.

    Ally_1998

    Tactical sure, but calling it heavier than what open world RPGs offer ignores how clunky the early hours actually feel.

  8. Tromp53

    It's insane to me that people rank this below games with half the content. The depth here is UNMATCHED and nobody wants to admit it because the interface scares them off...

    300 horas y sigo sin entender por qué está tan abajo, pero tampoco tan arriba.

    Replying to ArcadePhoenix2

    Same boat here, I've explained the passive tree to three separate roommates and lost all of them somewhere around the second act...

    NovaRex88

    Man reading this makes me want to reinstall right now, the passive tree memories are too real!!

    ArcadePhoenix2

    Pareil, 300h et toujours cette impression mitigée, sans vraiment savoir où le classer.

    Pourquoi on continue de comparer ce jeu à des RPG solo alors que la structure et l'ambition sont totalement différentes? Est-ce que les votants prennent vraiment le temps de creuser le système avant de juger?

    EmileWarden

    The systems reward patience most modern RPGs don't ask for anymore, and that's exactly why it holds up.

    Lo descubrí en un verano donde no tenía casi trabajo, y terminé metiendo cientos de horas sin darme cuenta del tiempo que pasaba, todavía pienso en esos árboles de habilidades cuando no tengo nada que hacer.

    LootLegend68

    Je me souviens d'avoir découvert l'arbre de compétences un soir de vacances, j'ai fini par y passer toute la semaine sans regret.

  12. Ghost_Collet

    400h au compteur et je le trouve quand même surestimé face à des jeux bien plus accessibles.

    davis_lelah

    400 hours in and I still remember the week I couldn't touch Skyrim because the tree had me hooked instead.
