POE is great! I'll probably play it more after I finish up Tomb-Raider and unlock "the labyrinth mode" in Dissidia! I think anyone who loved Diablo should give POE a fair chance.
You might like Duodecim's rpg mode,Matt. It made battles a lot less frustrating for me personally!
Granted,the character roster is limited but each combatant oozes style and originality. I think you'd enjoy it!
Black Heart "is" Sick,James! I love it! 
Wow,sounds pretty accomodating. Maybe after leveling up a character on my own I'll feel more secure joining a group! I admit I have been keeping it on my radar. I like rpgs with a "dark fantasy" aesthetic. (Then again, I sometimes like rpgs with a bright lighthearted aesthetic too. Derp! lol.)
At this point the game is "mostly" where I want it to be,Matt. However, the difficulty scaling makes the game a cakewalk by the end. lol. Once everyone gets their "uber weapons" they're pretty much unstoppable. However, I'm okay with that since my main goal was to tell a story as opposed to making an rpg with Shin Megami Tensei/Dark souls levels of difficulty.
Shar-Makai is a sick mofo. I also like one of the event scenes where two Shar Makai argue and one ends up cutting the other one in half. Parasitic worms don't mess around,yo! They for realz!
Corpse party is my jam. I'm glad JB reminded me they're availible for the psp,Aaron! I forgot somewhere along the line.
"The violent death scenes" Lara endures aren't my cup of tea either,Cary. I feel as if the same game would have been just fine without them. Watching Lara take a wooden shaft through her throat isn't my idea of a good time. 
Dude, you're awesome! I totally forgot the Corspse Party games were on the psp! Now I feel senile. lol.
