God DAMN Divinity II is addictive

[Angthoron]

Repeatedly taking the piss out of Amdusias with "MAXOS!!!" was my favourite part.

What the fuck

It got me giggling like a retard.

So that's the kinda stuff you guys refer to when you praise D2's "humor"? Not judging or anything, just trying to understand.

Only one of the various examples. This has to be actually seen in context though. The moment I saw this, this was the least I was expecting - in fact it took me a moment to figure out if they really went there. Then I giggled like an idiot and reloaded because they killed me in the meantime.

Yeah. And EAT IT.

The one part that actually made me snort with laughter was "hello, I am the castle Larian... er, I mean, librarian". Because I have a terrible weakness for bad puns.

Yeah me too. Speaking of which, I just did the quest involving a fake goblin leader head and the lady inside my characters brain commented "You have a novel way of giving head".

 

[Arcanoix]

DAoC and FO:NV being the only exceptions, I refuse to play any games powered by Gamebryo.

 

[Multidirectional]

So you'd rather play a game that makes shitty use of Gamebryo than the one that makes good use of it, good for you.

Watching videos of it, and seeing as how the Codex is 'ing it to death, I might "acquire" it, give it a go, but I certainly won't be lost in it and actually "play" it. Gamebryo is an MMO engine, nothing more, nothing less.

2. Yes, but it's the best Gamebryo has ever looked - almost unrecognisable.

Except Gamebryo runs at 75hz/FPS, and if you don't have a genuine display running 75hz (and none of that upscaling shit either) then you miss out on 15 FPS, and it downgrades the display, causing a slight stutter. I learned to hate that stuttering shit. DAoC was made in 2001, so it was excusable then when frame rates were usually 45hz/FPS. In 2011 there's no excuse for not being able to overcome the stuttering shit. It shows up prevalently in every Gamebryo game, including FO:NV.

 

[Multidirectional]

I don't get any stutter and my screen is 60Hz. Don't know what you're talking about.

You do your best not to enjoy it.

The quality of the game's 'funny' is a non-issue.

The fact that it doesn't take itself seriously however, is worthy of praise.

Larian isn't afraid to be stupid.

Quite refreshing in an RPG landscape where the top devs seem to not *know* when they're being stupid.

 

[DraQ]

In before Arcanoix "acquiring" the game, enabling all the options without reading, thinking enabled=better gfx, and then complaining about either the horrid stutter or game not running at all.

Larian also knows when to NOT be stupid, unlike, for example, the makers of MDK2 which was basically the trolololo in game form.

 

[Crispy]

So we've had one retard refusing to play it because he couldn't play a sexy cat, and another retard refusing to play it because he'd be missing out on 15 frames per second.

Great.

Deploy the dumbfuck!! tags.

(Also no, even I don't consider the former complaint in the least bit legitimate).

Edit:
Also, there is one reason why I think the Divinity 2 should be considered Diablo-like with exceptionally strong RPG elements rather than proper cRPG.

Not only does it feel and play more like H&S, but, if it was to be treated as full RPG it would have to be bashed for somewhat biowarian dialogue (not writing, convergent 'flavour' options), which it doesn't deserve in the same vein as Anachronox wouldn't deserve being judged according to RPG standards. No, Div2 is a H&S, except that it likes to go full RPG sometimes, is bristling with humour, and has a lot of specific charm and atmosphere along with diverse locations.

 

[hoverdog]

okay, now this game definitely is full of win

Spoiler

dragon slayer power rangers cracked me up so hard

 

[Raghar]

Actually Dragon knight is a mediocre game. Even with all that tuning of gameplay, it stays that way.

Look at that text. Can you see option that are missing, for example when you don't like to play a jerk? Also I seen a quite brutal changes in personality of yours opponents. It's not only about choose any option in dialogue, and you arrive to the same conclusion, it's about your opponent changes his personality and act completely differently than he would when you'd choose different option.

Also you can't hire these five dragon slayers with certain personality problems for protection of your tower.

Are you saying there's a lack of intentionally silly and lulzy RPGs? Seems quite the opposite to me. FO3, New Vegas, Drakensang, Arcania... Bioware's intentions are debatable but the end result is the same.
I'd actually find it refreshing to see a well-crafted and engaging setting for once without mandatory bad puns to humor the retards.

 

[Crispy]

Whoa, hold that train, made. Are *you* saying that NV and ArcaniA are mostly intentionally self-depracating? Can't agree there, although I've only played the demo of ArcaniA.

Drakensang, I suppose. Maybe.

But New Vegas no way. There are moments when it's irreverant, yes, but it's still pretty much straight-faced all the way through. I don't think the robot cowboys and other admittedly decent humor sprinkled throughout can change that. And I'll just forget the fact that you even mentioned Fallout 3.

ArcaniA is, or seems, to me, just wayyyyyyyyyy too horrible and ridiculous in all the wrong ways to even be able to approach the kind of subtle self-jabs that Divinity II pulls off.

And BioWare wouldn't know subtle humor if it rolled a twenty right in their executive washroom's shitter.

JMO.

 

[DraQ]

Abridged.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

I've never seen someone who comes so close to being coherent, syntax-wise, and yet so far away... somehow, one cannot help but feel that a key component is missing, and always will be.

Brain?

 

[Phelot]

Yes, I have seen others question Raghar's meaning and I have to admit, I have no idea what this crazy cat is talking about most of the time

 

[Multidirectional]

While Raghar is being.. Raghar, I got an interesting bug just now that doesn't go away. After exiting a dungeon my characters torso disappeared. The arms, the head and legs are still there even though there's nothing to hold them together. I tried saving and loading, entering and exiting buildings and caves but it remains that way. Any chance some of you might know how to fix this? This never happened on my first playthrough. I can play it like this, obviously, but it's a bit distracting.

*edit* Nevermind, my inner genius told me to try a PC restart. My brain is on these days it seems.

Is it... Might you... Do you... Is it a fagbox version?


I've seen consoletards complaining about stuff disappearing in various games and it seems to be a typical problem when console fails to read data from an optical disk.
PCs, being superior and capable of storing large amount of data on their HDDs are, of course, impervious to such bugs.
