PoE Reviews

[wasia]

This guy is playing release version of Pillars of Eternity. Here is translation from Russian:
-Pillars of Eternity -- oh, they're good! There's an interesting alternative for battle mechanics, alignments; everything is classical, but friendly
-aaa! Are you already playing it? So how is it? I tick days on calendar
-In general it's VERY CLASSY AND FRIENDLY. I cannot disclose the details, but to judge after first hour -- it doesn't dissapoint.

First hour?

You don't know anything about first hour. Look at Divinity OS and tell me how would you think about it in first hour. (There is that juicy murder investigation, Ardou is explaining fine points of wathing naked women when you turn yourelf into cat...)

Ah, the usual, agressiveness on the Codex. What the fuck is wrong with saying that after the first hour, the game is looking good?

In other news, John Walker from RPS and Jason Schreier from something something also plays the game.

 

[Raghar]

You can do that, but what about reviewer, shouldn't he show some professionalism?

Did you spend all ethernity under random rock?
Gaming jurnos? Proffesionalism?

 

[wasia]

Dude, this is not a review, it's just some initial emotional reaction in his private Twitter. Obviosly he can't post anything precise 'cause of embargo.

 

[Phage]

How is this even news? Of course reviewers are playing the game. It comes out in a week and they need to have reviews ready for a 50? or more hour long RPG.

Oh dear Obsidian ....

I have one of the press accounts. Not really sure how much I'm allowed to say at this point.

The game is really good so far. Feels like Baldur's Gate 3. Lore seems crazy deep.

It is crashing to desktop on probably ~30% of all scene transitions (map loads) for me, though. Save often!

They seem keen on delivering that original Infinity Engine experience. :D

Baldur's Gate and Torment kept crashing for me like this too back in the day, because I had a crappy PC that needed to swap area files from CDs to HDD all the time and crashes happened often.

 

[Darth Roxor]

It's not an Infinity Engine experience if you don't have to juggle CDs on every loading.

I want a press copy. I'm from the... Dinosaur Inquirer. We specialize in dick jokes and yo momma jokes. And if you don't trust me, check my signature for our authenticity.

mindx2 should get one. He's like, a real journalist and everything now. Especially when compared to the rest of gaming jurnos.

In fact, calling him journalist is probably offensive and not to the profession.

 

[Athelas]

Why does it sound like he's describing a high-priced hooker?

So they're saying the writing is bad/Biowarean in style? Huh.

 

[polo]

30% is a FUCKING LOT for CTD.
But well, i can only hope day 1 game is somewhat better bugs related.

 

[Phage]

yup. fuck this. gonna wait for the first big patch. bloodborne coming out at the same time was a blessing in disguise

Damn. I hope OE is working to fix that and put out a hotfix ASAP.

What an accurate description of Obs.

 

[Ulminati]

30% CTD is par for the course on an Obsidian release. It's be unbeleivably stable for a Troika release.

 

[Jaedar]

I've never had any significant issues with any Obs game.

I'm sure that will be the case for PoE as well.

"Ah, fuck, feels good man. Nothing to do for days but to play some Obsidian-grade Pillars of Eternity."
logs on to steam
"Ah, fuck, feels bad man. New Steam TOS prohibits unlocking games via VPNs."

"lol, nevermind"

"YES! Finally!"

"Melee engagement, penalized recovery rate, weird spells and shit. What to choose"
two hours of research later
"lol! I'll just go with a ranged rogue using all passive skills"

"YES! Praise Cain Sawyer and Avellone! I'm in!"
game crashes to desktop
"What the fuuuck"
