Eternity Pillars of Eternity II Beta Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Looks like they're just redeeming codes for GOG after all.

 

Hi!

gosh is that just not a bummer today with all of these new videos and interviews and articles the codes slipped my mind but it looks like I was wrong anyhow after BtF6nW w6Pd2u SHbEXB cCedpo 8twCgw I thought for sure the next six would have panned out as rLyRSV followed the next week by two numbers and four vowels to make a second line. So much for all those paper scribbles and attempted cryptanalysis but like wtf it has to be something like that right? right?

This is a tale about pirates and ships and sea monsters so there must be hidden treasure maps that use some sort of substitution cipher, to unlock the longtitude and latitude or some secret message to us and not some code for some other game so it just can't be that right? Obsidian giving away game codes for others games not their own? That is some sneaky business if it happens and I do not like it!

wtf make it fun for everyone at least and made it possible to track down something or tid bits of information maybe taking us to some hidden link on obsidian website and you click it and it goes to a new page with a n ew code but it is okay they are in pictures and magazines and sites are getting them but .. it just frustrating for fans who want to be paort of the excitement of the upcoming release but all we got is this.

Sherry's posts are exhausting and look like the train of thought of a sugar pixie.

 

Holy shit.. this explains everything

 

One can only hope.

 

Definitely without the joke about Infinitron. He can be obnoxious sometimes, which is why I like to throw jabs at him once in a while, but we definitely wouldn't want the guy to hurt himself.

 

It's like hoping for the next bioware title to flop. Sure, after 20 years of hoping, it finally happens, but it takes much much longer than just a few titles.

PoE2 will sell very well.

 

We'll see if it won't happen like Numanuma, the only interested people being the ones who backed it. I doubt it, though, since Numanuma was just shit in general and I doubt Obs are that incompetent or that the game is so niche in the first place.

 

I am actually kind of worried that the game won't sell that well. I definitely won't be buying it because I despise Sawyerism with passion and Sawyer himself is just a really unlikeable hipster weirdo IMO (who probably goes on bike rides to steal children), but mediocre sales of PoE 2 probably wouldn't be a good thing for the comeback of CRPG industry.

 

Different games for different people.

 

Why use D:OS2, different type of game, as a benchmark? Compare it to the first game.

Best Pillars 2 videos are in 50k views range. Best Pillars 1 are in 500k range.

 

POE2 will do fine, it is more popular among normies than you think.. and normies don't care about Sawyerism one way or another.

 

Say what you will about the games or the top men, but Swen is more charismatic than Josh. He handles himself in a way that entices more mainstream people.

IHaveHugeNick Best Pillars 2 video is in the 100k range.

 

It has more views because of Avellone, just like videos with thumbnails of women in bikinis inherently have more views.

 

I'm certain his unfinished LP was why he had to leave Obsidian. I sent in over 5000 complaints from different email addresses.

 

is there a way to compare the page views from similar points in the development cycle? I am very anal retentive about perfect comparisons.

A game that's come out and won lots of awards is not a great comparison for one that's still being developed--by the time these eyeball figures become relevant we'll have actual sales data. Also, obviously the Pillars 1 videos have had a lot longer to rack up page views.

Deadfire is going to do well and make Obsidian a nice chunk of change; it will still be worth it for them to make another sequel even if it does substantially worse than the original. It's just that PoE3 will end up being a lot less ambitious in that scenario.

Oh boy look at this:

Although I agree with him what's the point of wizards if it's better to just auto-attack with them, that part is correct.

 

Well, that's what Story Time is for.

In other news... apparently he lives on:

 

And the buggy UI, it really is a nightmare to figure out if someone has completed the action you ordered or not.
