The two games represent the two main demographics for D:OS EE.

That was a very consoletardy update. The only other RPG developer I have seen make so much about lying around with a controller is Bethesda.

"Playing with a controller is one of the major improvements" - Swen Vincke (paraphrase, but not too much)

"Loot is much more interesting" doesn't tell us anything :/

They've been focusing on the consoles in these updates because that's the biggest "news".

He did say they optimized the game much more for PC, since the game was already for PC, as long as they improve the content and not change something good for PC because of console, its gonna be good I hope.

Just think for a second: If, for some reason, you were just about to release a game that people have to buy for a console, would you spend time promoting that game for consoles? This particular release being something that will define the way that you do business in the future and what platforms you will develop for; Would you promote that product?

On a side note, I feel sorry for the mac and linux users, linux being particularly abused by Larian are not going to be happy about 5-6 week delay AGAIN. Jesus. I didn't feel sympathy for them at first, but I do now a days.

I wasn't saying that in a condescending way (except the controller thing). I know very well why they are focusing these updates almost exclusively on consoles. It actually is the biggest "news". They also did say that it was optimized better for PC.

At least it wasn't "That old school Dragon Age experience". Which I'm sure it'll get to that point in 5 or so years.

Only thing that matters UI.

I wonder if they will fuck it up as consoles ALWAYS bring decline.

Aenra · Oct 21, 2015

lol at Linux and Mac once again delayed. Again ^^

edit: why all this bitching and nitpicking? They proved their mettle, without cunt manoeuvring, "famous" salesmen doing the pitching, sellout forum members doing their hype and now employed by them, or scores of fans just waiting for their next game, ie having their financial success assured in advance. And yet they and only they exceeded what expectations their fans had. Unless you will dare come tell me PoE exceeded your expectations..or maybe WL2 did..

Is someone butthurt?

You want to to bitch, bitch about modding, day n night schedules, or OS delays;
I got no reason to worry about the UI. They are not InXile, they have proven that too already. Barring evidence pointing towards the opposite, i don't see an issue here. They need to address the tards this time around, that's what they are doing here. They've no reason to focus on "us" yet again, we're not the ones buying.
If there's anything i personally worry about, is seeing people judging the aesthetic/mood differences. Have had enough of "seriouz" and "gritteh". At this age and education, it almost always falls short. Give me amusing/funny and i'll take it, anyday.

And an AoD shoutout, woot!

Would it fucking kill them to write out a list instead of asking me to watch a video? Christ almighty these guys love making videos.

You're absolutely right, cannot begin to fathom their reasoning;

agris · Oct 22, 2015

Yea you're right, lists are so low-fi! Who wants to read info in 30 seconds when we could watch 3+ minute videos, Lol!

Doctor Sbaitso · Oct 22, 2015

I better hurry up and get my first play-through of AoD done in the next week.

Are you being purposefuly daft, or does it come pre-installed with your OS?
I refuse to draw you more pictures, but allow me to spell it for you: VI-SI-BI-LI-TY. Doesn't matter what i like (don't even have a youtube account), doesn't matter what you like. If not visible, then not as successful. Sales, they come with product awareness. And it needs to be as fucking visible as Larian-y possible, because at this juncture, it is not YOU they are addressing. Rather, you guessed it, the tard crowd. So yes, they need a vid. Even if unintelligent specimens such as yourself may occasionally whine about it. No one's loss.

edit: it seems i do have a Youtube account, lol.. does having an email now automatically grant you accounts for all google 'services'? :ineveraskedforthis:

That happened like 5 years ago or something and there was a big controversy with it (gmail = having a google+ account, etc.). Where were you at? lol

Motherfucker are you serious? Still? It's the same fucking UI for PC.

"Designed for consoles" ~ Larian PR person.

I actually liked the "Wail of the Banshee"-like animation and I think it's new, maybe a witchcraft master spell. I'm somewhat hyped now, so go go 27th.
