What went wrong?
How it was even possible to fuck up so badly and make game so childish? Why couldn't it be more like Mask of Betrayer and Pillars of Eternity?
How exactly was it childish?
>5 voices per gender
>Same VA doing different inflections
Dialogue was written like it had swallowed the book on fantasy tropes and the world felt empty as shit.
>>339375909
Atmosphere and writing felt like it was story for the kids
I loved this game
>>339375909
Cartoon art style, crap dialogue, voice actors pouring accents on like honey, gameworld is tiny and the quests aren't very interesting. Its like they assumed being a fantasy game was enough.
>>339375806
BUT ANON!!
MUH TONGUE IN CHEEK HUMOR!
MUH REFERENCES!
MUH TROPE EXPLOITATION!
MUH LIGHTHEARTED STORYTELLING!
>>339376103
>>339376027
That bad, eh?
I played it for around an hour or so but the art style was enough to drive me away from the game.
fucking kiddynity original shit! everything went wrong except for the combat!
>>339375909
nothing in kod was serious, everything was a shitty joke at the end, the main plot was made with underaged spawn in mind
also shit circus music, at least this will no longer be a problem
I would kill him myself but luckly for him decay come first

You are a real backer if you gave them money on the kickstarter.

Is Divinity ll any good?
>>339377664
>One would assume that the people that backed their latest project want more of the same
not even close, they want more combat but not shit writing and stupid jokes
larian confirmed that next game will be way more mature and dark, even visuals are tuned down in comparision with divinity
no more wow visuals friendo
>>339377738
I thought it was fun for 1 playthrough, but some real boring parts in the second half.
>>339378092
Is it as good as Oblivion?
Have you ever played a Larian game before? They're always like this and personally I love it. Not every game needs to be a nihilistic grimdark take on humanity's bile.
>>339376857
>actually wanting the story to mirror a kid's cartoon
Fuck
Off
>>339378339
The only thing those two games have in common is that they both have swords in them.

>Not every game needs to be a nihilistic grimdark take on humanity's bile.

This game is great, don't listen to the pissants. Every one should play this once.

you /v/ermin kids are hilarious

>i demand a SERIOUS and MATURE game for serious and mature individuals such as myself
Fuck you I like it
Coop is a blast
>>339378449
Yes , the new game is going to have a few more "f" words in it. Good job.
>>339378664
Game isn't that good even without the shit writing.
Combat gets really repetitive after you leave the starting city and do that boring jungle bullshit (which is where I dropped it).
>>339378857
Who actually finds images like that funny?
>>339379153
After the city is the Snow map. You only do 1/3 of that area before finding portal.
What're you even talking about it's one of the best games of this decade.
>>339378727
>>339378857
are you hyped for the new kirby game?
I want something between grimdark and constant silliness.
I want a harem ending and interactive sex scenes.

It's satire you moron.
Pillars of Eternity is terrible by the way.
>>339380056
>a dispenser or wisdom
>>339380664
The first kid has blond hair, blue eyes, white skin. The second is... I'm not sure. Not a full nigger probably. Maybe a mulatto. Or some Oceanian magic.
>>339380810
It's shit tier satire written by interns. Previous Divinity games had proper writers and the quality was noticably better.
>>339375806
Nice cover you have there. It would be a shame if somebody found it offensive...

Have you ever played a Divinity game before? Of course not, silly me.

>>339379839
>I need CRAWLING IN MY SKIN-tier nihilism to escape the realization that vidya is a childish hobby
>>339375806
Larian's weak spot was always the story. I did not really mind though because the gameplay was good enough to make up for all the silly stuff they included.
seriously though
is the game fun?
>>339383383
Yes.
>>339383423
Why? Does it have a good story?
>>339383383Yes, gameplay wise it's best crpg of the decade
>>339383383
For a time. Not really worth finishing it though.
>>339383383
It is, the combat is slow but pretty fun, the game is hard too
I recommend you to play it with a friend, its more fun that way, like it happens with any other game
>>339375980
I take it this was your first Divinity game?
>>339375806
Nothing.
It was the first KS game that cashed in on the nostalgia wave.
It did as well as can be expected.
>>339383547
I can't play RPGs with friends though. They either want to rush through the game or spend way too long on one thing. Just want to go at my own pace.
>>339383489
Story isn't what makes a game fun.
>>339383489
I bet you ask this for porn too.
>>339383634
Pretty sure you can't decide what I like about a game.
Unless your a cute girl ofcourse.
>>339383728
You are obviously better off reading books than playing games.
>>339383904
That's not an argument though.
>>339383383
Yes, you will get many hours of fun, but it is so so long and everything after the first zone just isn't as good
>>339383989
Pretend you have some brain and say that it is. Why are you here dishing an RPG instead of reading books?
>>339378381
I've played all Divinity games and i must say that they have some pretty dark stuff in them.They are not 100 grim dark porn but they are far from childish.
Even Divinity:Dragon Commander had a lot of darkness in it.
Most people are just ignorant or never played a Divinity game.
>>339384337
Who says I'm not reading a book RIGHT now though?
>>339384337
You are retarded
>>339384337
I like making choices in rpg's
books are passive experience
>>339384337
>dishing an rpg
he's just asking if the game is fun though
Pretend you have some brain yourself maybe.
>>339380290
He's not any blacker than the girl.
>>339384357
What are you talking about. They are hardly any different. Is it the voice acting perhaps that put you off?
>>339378381
>They're always like this
Yeah, I mean, broing it up with 8 abducted NPCs for the purpose of deciding which 4 to kill was the best lighthearted fun I've ever had in my entire life.
>>339384650
Then you need a visual novel , not an RPG
>>339375806
Wait, what? I thought this game was a success?
Am I wrong?
>>339385093
lel most if not all visual novels have worse stories than videogames.
>>339384876
Did you miss the sacked village or the cult sacrifices in D:OS?
>>339384876
One quest out of the entire game.
>>339385406
and I forgot about the surprise behind the waterfall. Disney-like I would say.
>>339384712
Are you color blind, mate?
>>339385652He's black
>>339385093
rpg games are full of choices so i'm good thank you
>>339375806
>What went wrong?
You.
>>339375980
>I don't understand the tone Divinity uses
>If the atmosphere is light or silly, it's for kids!
The mere fact that you're acting like "for kids" is a bad thing is the most damning piece of evidence.
>>339384357
Just ignore the teenage shiteater types
>>339381153
>It's shit tier satire written by interns
Nah, it's high tier satire written by pros.
>>339383383
Yes. It's really really good.
Oh fuck off with your muh grim dark.
Divinity was always full of wacky shit.
Even if I agree that D:OS is the less serious divinity game.
>>339385958
I hate this so fucking much
>>339382157
>no imp waifu
>no combat that's actually good
Never forgive them either.Still backed DivOS2.
>>339385760
Oh yes , all those story choices in Eye of the Beholder truly made it the classic that it is considered today.
RPGs do not have significant narrative choices compared to visual novels. They have choices in regards to bypassing story obstacles and the occasional evil path.
>>339386212
I did like my choices in fallout games, motb, kotor games, jade empire, alpha protocol, poe, torment, vtmb, deus ex and witcher games
can't wait for tyrrany poe 2 and new torment
>>339386628
Ok , I bite. How many story choices do you think these games had? More than three in the whole game?
>>339386914
>More than three in the whole game?
way, way more
especially witcher games, alpha protocol and old fallout games
>>339387183
I know for sure that the fallout games had choices only the finale.
I'm not sure about the old witcher games but the new one there is one choice in each story arc. Fine , that's not three , that's five.
Alpha Protocol is not an RPG
>>339386628
>deus ex
>choices
Come on, man.
>>339375806
>How it was even possible to fuck up so badly
What are you talking about? This game praised by everyone, including /v/
>>339386628
>I did like my choices in motb
>>339387728
>know for sure that the fallout games had choices only the finale
no
>Alpha Protocol is not an RPG
it is
what about other games anon, got anything to say?
>>339387931
what?
>>339388195
got some more cherries to pick?
>>339388254
Fuck your lazy "no". Give examples or shut up.
>what about other games anon, got anything to say?
Already said no more than three choices in each.
I'm the guy who came in asking if the story was fun
Now you fags are still arguing about it an hour later
Get a fucking life really.
What is with this guy and BAITING people? He did it with PoE
>>339375806
Not even months ago this was being regarded as the best WRPG in years by LITERALLY everyone you asked in threads
now its a massive fuckup blunder?
>>339388195>WIZARDS
>IN
>RED
>>339388254
>what?
Deus Ex is an incredibly linear game and whatever C&C it has is mostly cosmetic. The choices you can make, whether Paul, or Jock die, are irrelevant to the story. Meanwhile the choices that you should be able to make, and the game leads you to believe you will get the chance to make, are not there at all.
>>339388981
its just Witcherfags
>>339388619
>Fuck your lazy "no". Give examples or shut up.
play the games
>Already said no more than three choices in each.
you did not played the games
Pillars of Eternity was trash, I dunno how you could put it on the same level as MoB, which was a masterpiece
I am also really scared for Numenera. I think it'll turn out just as bad as PoE. Did anyone play the early access? Did they fuck up?
>>339388981
kiddy garbage, not real rpg
>>339388619
I played the games I spoke off , I did not play the old witcher games and that's why I didn't talk about them. Get off your high horse.
>>339389101
i have never played neither divinity or the witcher 3 so i wouldnt know how the fuck are they related, but im fairly sure one is top down isometric WRPG and the other one is a third person ARPG
why do you say the witcher fags?
Shit kiddy art style.
Shit kiddy writing.
Shit world design, attention to detail and interactivity.

You didn't play the game. You're a goddamn troll. Divinity has amazing quests and there's nothing wrong with the way it looks.

>>339389321

Original Sin wasn't the ONLY good thing to come from Kickstarter.
But it certainly is the most fully-realized product with next to no compromises and unfulfilled promises. That makes it the best video game to come from Kickstarter.

>If it got humor it's for children!

Oh fuck off.
It's a belgian game, and we don't have your fucking "if it's fun, it's not MATURE" shit here. Absurd jokes all over the place is common place even in serious things, it doesn't bother anyone.
>>339390134
yes i did, your taste is just shit
did you ever played torment or motb? those game are well written, kiddinity is like baby book in comparision
>Divinity has amazing quests and there's nothing wrong with the way it looks.
it looks like garbage, no style, wow characters models, everything looks like a joke and the quests instelf are most boring ones in almost all rpg games ever made
kill yourself because your taste is just the worst
>>339390126
This game went from promise to full blown tedium.
The line between grind and actual challenge is very thin.
>>339390609

>>339375806
>I've never played any of the other Divinity games
>I'll just shitpost based on what I assume the tone would have been
From Divine Divinity, to Dragon Commander, to Ego Draconis, all of the Divinity games have had some level of tongue-in-cheek humor and cheesy slapstick.
>>339375806
So far the stupid humor and utter lack of severity is the only thing I don't like about the game, but thats a cancer that most indie games have.
Ive really been enjoying it otherwise.
>>339391371
is that shadowrun returns? i forgot about that and i inteded to play it.
is it worth it?
>>339392402
>is that shadowrun returns?
No, it's the 3rd game: Hong Kong. The original Shadowrun Returns is trash. Dragonfall is good. HK I'm currently playing.
Larian rpg games were always an poor's man obsidian counterparts
good for simple minded diablo like games enthusiasts who expect murder and combat from their games and don't care about anything else but borderline unplayable for passionate rpg lovers

Yea call me casual but after a while it just gets annoying as fuck. With vague descriptions and poor pointers.

That's how it works, yeah.
>>339394289
dumb casual shits like you are the reason good games are dieing out

>>339394513
i'd call a game bad too if i needed handholding and it didn't give me that.
oh no wait, i would actually read and listen to what npcs say and easily figure out where to go.
>>339394303
>>339375806
Because they didn't want to do it? The Divinity series has always been on the lighthearted side. I don't understand this question. Why does this thread have so many replies? Please respond.
>>339394513
>but only dumb cosual shits liked divinity in the first place
Did you miss divinity OS launch? Shit was literally a casual filter.
is Divinity II any good?
>>339383383
Yes. It's an actual, proper video game and not an interactive movie/novel. It has gameplay and it gives you tools that you can do a lot of stuff with, like comboing spells to create a massive aoe stun or building in such a way that you can instantly kill enemies by 500 kg barrels on them.
>>339395186
It's ...okay.
Picture a third person hack&slash, made in gamebryo. Yeah.
The graphics and writing are pretty nice though.
>>339394513
>but only dumb cosual shits liked divinity in the first place
You're talking out of your ass. People on leddit and steam forums bitched up a storm because it's "too hard". It also requires strategy, tactics and knowing how to build a character to not get your shit pushed in, and it has puzzles that don't immediately tell you the solution and aren't braindead, which are the definition of casual filters.
