Divinity Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

[Visperas]

Anything interesting in that hour long video? Maybe a hint for their next project?

 

[Kaldurenik]

Have they released any numbers on sales? Are they set for the next game ?

I probably need to update my blog. Which topic would you like to see addressed first?

 

[DragoFireheart]

People actually care or give a fucking shit to those shit award shows?

People that want them taken seriously do.

Game devs would kill to have their own video game version of the emmys.

Original Sin is battling it out against Inquisition in PC Game of the Year on gamespot. Vote for incline!

No, I'd rather just sit out and ignore this shit, it's just way too depressing.

I hope for the day when Larian learns to balance their systems on top of making them interesting. Replaying DD made me realize how little Larian have learned over all these years. As such, their games are little more than sandboxes for cool stuff to happen ("hey, what other skills break the game, I wonder...") just like DA are romance novels in game format. Neither Bioware nor Larian are moving in the right direction RPG-dev wise.

Pretty much.

I had the feeling this was gonna happen since their kickstarter days because most of the podcasts would boil down to "LOOK AT WHAT YOU CAN DO!" without ever really considering the reason why have the need to do it in the first place

I disagree. That's a design philosophy I really like. It supports creativity but it's at its best when the creativity is required by the enemies being as creative as you can be and the game being challenging. D:OS didn't really succeed there but it was still fun.

Yeah that's kinda what I was trying to say :D

A console port with terrible mouse and keyboard controls and performance is winning.

Of course it'll really be a shock if I end up liking DAI over D:OS as well.

As much as I dislike both these groups, I'm ecstatic that Wasteland 2's getting left in the dust.

You really are a wretched cunt.

lol I just guessed that you were replying to roguey even though I cant see his post

Too bad that SJW fudge-fest is leading in both PC Game of the Year AND Game of the Year.

What is winning in those categories? I don't want to give RPS clicks.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Dragon Age of course. Shit sells, news at 11.

 

[ZoddGuts]

Dragon Age of course. Shit sells, news at 11.

Didn't even make it into the top 10 NPD Sales for November. Wasn't it suppose the next Skyrim in sales? Shit flopped. "Even then, Inquisition sold around the same amount of units across five platforms as Dragon Age 2 did on three."

When they announce the next Dragon Age game, then you will know it sold enough.

It was only out for the last two weeks of November.

No, they weren't expecting Skyrim sales, that would be absurdly unrealistic. I'm sure a lot of people there are disappointed though.

At least they can't blame it on piracy.

 

[a Goat]

At least they can't blame it on piracy.

Don't worry, they'll probably say that DA:4 is going to be console exclusive because PC gamers aren't interested in RPG's as proved by bad DA:I sales. Development of PC version seriously strained their resources which reduced game's quality which ended up in worse sales.

We can only hope.
