I don't get it.

All the other units in the trailer look like Sci Fi units, not fantasy units.

The fuck? I'm incredibly disappointed.


Let's not even comment on the name, Dragon Commander? Really? Did they ask a 12 year old for input?

I seriously thought it was a joke/parody title like the Serious Sam devs pull off from time to time.

I other words: not turn based. But thanks for playing!

It's multiplatform.

A multiplatform "strategy". If there is a worse genre than console shooters then this is the one.



The whole "strategy" will be you controlling the main dragon while a few of them flying behind you and you give orders to attack your target / defend your dragon with X and Y.

The show's over, kids.

I don't see what's so bad about it...is it a kneejerk reaction to the word "dragon", because of Skyrim? Don't deny your nerd heritage, my brothers. Dragons will always be present.

Welcome to the codex, where every piece of information can be terribly rage-inducing. :roll:


Nah, the game sounds good, actually. Well, what little we now about it.

It's not just the word 'Dragon,' it's the awkward combination with 'Commander.'

Dragon Commander is a step above Dragon Knight. It makes sense but doesn't sound good as a game title. Whatever, I'm more worried about the actual game than its title.

The strategy part is mostly on the big TB overall map. Or so it sounds like.

I like such combination myself, but the trailer looked rather disappointing, Dragons, and aircrafts with jet engines? Where is the steampunk?

I dont understand why so many of you liked dinvinty 2, it was really super repetitive, the same encounters each time, no special abilities on any of them, the same encounter reskinned thousands of times. The combat was quite dull jumping and striking all the time. I prefered the top down divine divinity.
I' ve played worse games but really this one is overrated, as action rpgs i prefer way more the witcher 1-2.
Not expecting much from this , we have no details on the gameplay mechanisms at all.

It's funny that I'm not excited for this game at all. Absolutely don't care what comes out of it.

And I liked both Divinity games.

Maybe it's just "too much innovation" for me. Big publishers like EA must be right, too much innovation and experimenting is too risky, because of the lack of an established audience.
