new divinity original sin 2 news guys, lot's off good stuff
but one thing got me really worried, picture related
what do you guys think? it wasn't supposed to end this way
Could be they just mean it'll be more serious this time instead of "talking underwear"-tier
>>333609403
I don't mind if it's like Fallout "maturity" where there's still jokes sprinkled all over the place with some dark stuff.
>>333609403
well, it says more mature, not just mature. So it might still be more funny than serious, just more serious than original sin.
Good, that was one of the major flaws of Divinity Original Sin: it didn't tackle any serous or mature topics. I'd much rather have a mature, dark, interesting, morally ambiguous story with realistic depictions of violence than a game with childish writing and "lolsorandom xD" potty humor.
If you want that infantile rubbish, play a fucking Nintendo game.
>>333609808
but why do they even want to change it? why not just go for the dos 1 route in terms of story telling and humor?
>>333609403
>PvP multiplayer
>>333610194
because rpgcodex and many other hardcore mature gamers who take themselves extremely seriously hated DOS
>>333610194
I suppose that's where they got criticized the most
>>333610194
The story in Division, especially before the Enhanced Edition, was very weak.
>>333610127
glorious post
>>333609403
How it this bad? Bland plot and weak storytelling was the biggest flaw in the first game.
>>333609403
The only thing holding back Larian Studios is their writing, so I don't really see how this is a bad thing. I'm all for humour, but when the story falls entirely flat then something is clearly wrong.
great, like we haven't had enough cuckold white propaganda games lately...
>>333610514
because rpg games should be light-hearted, simple and fun
at least the real ones, not the pretentious ones like torment
>>333609403
>Larian game with good writing
This man will finally put the studio on the map, mark my word.
>>333609403
The only thing that makes me worried, annoyed even, is the even stronger focus on multiplayer.
I prefer my rpgs singleplayer, because it's near impossible to get someone who likes these kinds of games, has a similar schedule (so basically has to be someone from the same or more or less same time zone) and is flexible enough to play a 100+ hour long game with you.
And D:OS as a singleplayer game was already dreadfully boring.
>>333610410
Don't these fags hate arcanum ?
>>333610410
The Codex fucking loved D:OS though.
>>333610820
>light-hearted, simple and fun
>the real ones
So VTMB, Deus Ex, Fallout, BG, M&M, Ultima pre-Oblivion TES and Wasteland? Oh wait...
>>333610859
the only thing they hate is Obsidian
>>333610979
this
>>333609403
and then larian will wonder why their game suddenly don't sell that well
gee, maybe because the majority of people who play games play for fun instead for this kind of crap.
hopefully only getting half of their targeted sales will teach them a lesson to ignore the internet, especially the codex and make a good and fun game that they themselves will actually play and enjoy.
>>333611024
>So VTMB, Deus Ex, Fallout, BG, M&M, Ultima pre-Oblivion TES and Wasteland?
literally crawling in my skin. these wounds, they will not heal tier
grow up
>>333609403
We already know what are mature themes today:sexism, racism, gomophobia etc.
And memes of course!
Writing will be shit its inventiable
>>333611113
>make a good and fun game
so game will be less fun because of more serious writing?
>>333610840
It's my only issue with the games as well. They said they'd improve the single player experience though so they might actually pull it off. But all this focus on multiplayer does put me off somewhat.
>>333611113
>game suddenly don't sell that well because it appeals to wider range of audience
That's not how it works. No one plays Larian games for WEEDLMAO grade writing, people play them because gameplay is fun.
>>333611216
>Writing will be shit
So nothing will change?
>>333611379
>it's fun to get reminded of how shit the world we are in and how crap people are.
perhaps beamdog games will be more suited to your mature taste.
most people enjoy games and cartoons for their fantasy and escapism and the numbers of sales demonstrate that.
>>333611410
>>333610840
Maybe you guys should get some friends.
The Brown shitfilter and desaturated colors of the early Screenshots looks terrible.
No one has as many friends as the man with many cheeses.
>>333611475
>No one plays Larian games for WEEDLMAO grade writing
x>9000 better than garbage tumblr tier writing for AoD, Underail and other recent shit rpgs that take themselves too seriously. Even less people are interested in finishing it than even Skyrim itself and that shit is dull.
>>333611586
>it's fun to get reminded of how shit the world we are in and how crap people are
you think this is what mature writing is all about? i pity you
>escapism
there's nothing good about that
>and the numbers of sales demonstrate that.
challenge accepted
>>333611589
I have enough of those. And certainly enough to play a game like this but I just don't want to. I like my RPG's single player, where I can explore and do whatever the fuck I want at my own pace. I have a plethora of co-op games and mmo's to play with friends, I don't need my RPG's to turn into multiplayer games too.
>>333611808
And even less people were interested in finishing D:OS because of how boring the story was.
>le over 9000
Is this 2005? Go back to where you crawled from, neofag.
>>333611793
Let's see, halibut, sheep's cheese, toMAHtoes...
>>333611615
how dare you
>>333609403
It's good
Original Sin had a shitty story that teetered too far into le ironic satire RPG territory.
I'd kill for a game with MotB tier story and OS tier gameplay.
didint avelone join their team?
>>333611876
I see. Well I hope the opposite. I want to be able to explore worlds with other people, not limited retard NPCs.
>>333611808
>garbage tumblr tier writing for AoD, Underail
>>333611793
Toe of Snake!
Wing of Worm
Brew em, Spice em!
Stir and churn!
>>333612032
For like one race's origin story and that's pretty much it
POST UNDEADFUS
>>333611024
Fallout(the original ones) and Bloodlines is full of comedy, same with the first Deus Ex.
>>333612032
yes, Yes, YES
man i just want better classes
the classes in OS1 was bland
>>333611808
This guy is right.
>>333612000
They sure improved their character models.
>>333612214
>Fallout 1-2
>Bloodlines
>Deus Ex
>light-hearted, simple and fun
Mario is light-hearted, simple and fun. Having jokes here and there doesn't make serious games any less serious.
>>333612214
>first fallout
>full of comedy
not sure if serious or just underaged
>>333612310
yes it's called half decent anatomy
I just want magic pockets for crafting
>please pool all your food, potions, armor, weapons and materials on one character just to see what recipes work
>oh, dont forget to split everything again afterwards so everyone has equipment :^)
Also I dumped a lot of stats into charisma only to find out it's pretty much worthless and mainly used to argue with yourself, that wasn't nice.
Fair warning: when the say "mature" they actually mean they're going to interject social politics.
>>333612717
Larian isn't full of SJWs so it's all good
>>333612717
boy
i cant wait for gamergate references

>ask people to fund game #1
>make millions of dollars
>plan to make game #2
>instead of using your own money to make game #2, ask the same people that funded #1 to fund #2
wait, it's not even funding, it's pure donations because they don't have to give you shit in return.
and this shit is getting exposure on /v/. pathetic
>>333613739
Except they DID fund D:OS and D:OS 2 with their own money. The Kickstarters for both were for extra content.
You know, how it should be.
>>333613739
Are you under the impression game studioslike this fund projects of this size themselves? Ever?
It's either kickstarter or find a publisher for funding.
>>333610830
yeah just like he put the Baldur's Gate expansion on the map
oh
wait
