I guess it's all comes down to preference, myself I've played nothing but PoE for the past decade, so it suits me really well!
Yeah, its a case of preference. I don't mind point and click for the old school diablo and command and conquer games. For games where you are navigating 3d cities and actually trying to navigate some traps, I would MUCH rather deal with my own input guiding the character around them than the games where I have a big enough issue with the companions springing traps WHILE I in the process of disabling them let alone trying to walk around a fire and not into it.
Personally I got it on ps5 because I thought it'd be awesome to play on a HDR OLED TV, which undoubtedly is the case.. But knowing I got the shorter end of the stick because of *reasons* just feels bad man. Reading all these critical posts in the forums speaks volumes as to how Larian really are as a company. They're being praised in the public for making a good game, sure thing but they can't even reply to these threads? No moderator / developer activity on here?? What is this... Rest assured I'm not buying a Larian title again.
There is actually a decent reason why developers don't respond in suggestion threads many times. It can actually cause more problems for them in the long run. Think of it this way, if they respond specifically to a certain topic too many times or not enough on another, players start reading into that too much, let alone the players who feel their views are special and don't like the fact they aren't being responded to while others are or they actually got responded to but didn't like the answer they got and want to become a Diva over it and try and become "Youtube Famous" over it.
From a drama and a liability perspective, it's safer on their part just to remain silent on these things and only respond sparingly.
