Kingmaker is selling more than we might have expected, but it's hardly some massive success. It might end up outselling Deadfire but that ain't a high bar to reach.

It is pretty big success when you add in that is a Russian studio and it is their first game of a not very popular PnP. I wouldn't be surprised if they had made a lot more actual money than poe1&2 combined. Obsidian have a lot more expenses. It is bigger financial success than deadfire for certainty.

First game sold for over a million copies with a 4 million kickstarter, even though dumpsterfire is a flop (I am not sure if it yet covered its costs) the sheer volume of PoE1 is more successful.

Now on the other hand, being a small Russkie studio, if they sell more than deadfire they way outpaced Obsidian, which they likely will if they can manage to fix the game. I want to play it for example but with the state the game is at it's hard to justify a run.

Yeah,i didn't mean it as a number equality,but as a net income. The rus must have made more money because of difference in the money value and their low expenses in general. Obsidian burned their gain on their upcoming popamole shooter and dumpsterfire,oh and for lawyers to solidify that microsoft deal.

The real success is Owlcat is based in Russia while Obsidian is in California, compare costs of living and Owlcat hit the jackpot.

Obshitian ... bravely experimenting
Its a sunny day. You go to lul at the Dex. You read this. Your brain just melted.

The delusion Obshitians live with can touch you through the screen. Its like the fucking WARP calling.

AAA Bioware is more experimental than Obshitian.

Plus, if you cannot into context or irony, then stay quiet.

Who cares about Bulgaria? People dont even remember this place exists.

Actually, we should nuke Bulgaria for giving us things like Dilma Rousseff
Please let's stop polluting the thread with poop, US West Coast, or tales of the socio-political situation of the EU's provincialist dwarf states.

Virgin AwesomeButton: Is careful about representing his nation in best light, tries to avoid stereotype labelling, concerned about international judgement if he were to make a faux pass about his country, overly careful about not offending liberal sensibilities

Chad Fantadomat: Proudly proclaims Third Bulgarian Empire in honour of Tri Moreta, has no time for image anxiety, talks about his heritage and culture whenever possible, doesn't care what liberals think

You made my day FreeKaner ,cheers mate.
Thank god that the most people in this thread are Balkan shit singers and the rest other variety of Easter Europeans. At least that way we endup in some interesting discussions from time to time ;).

Anyway back on topic before Infinitron makes another redundant thread and force us to derail the thread yet again. PoE 2 is still shit,and it won't get better!

Roxor has gone soft in his old age.
I think you were playing different versions of the game though?

I seem to remember you played a broken 1.0 version where you thought you were playing on PotD but it was actually on Normal.

It is pretty alright? Da faq? The combat is a clusterfuck with that ruleset, I can't create a strategy before going to fight monsters, because the game does not allow buff/debuff outside the combat, the story is a shit and so it is the navy combat. The only good things are the background arts.

Combat is good if you took the 100 hours Pillars of Eternity I introductory course.

Or what, did you expect it to play like the Infinity Engine games?! :D

No, that's the current low. We are sorry you've had this experience.


Seriously speaking, combat is horrible if you are coming from the IE games.

I am afraid so, maybe next time I will approach the game with a different mindset. But IMHO with the codex standards, I was expecting a low vote for the game.

I take it you haven't seen the Asscreed greek niggers RPG thread.
I have, but I didn't think the codex was approving it?

That's PoE 1. You should see those reviews. Deadfire's combat is a huge improvement over PoE's though.

Hmm, Slavegal's stay on the codex turned out an incredibly short one.
