Why does this game get so much hate?
Why does this game get so much hate?
Looks comfy
Felt like playing a straight character? Too bad. Not allowed.
Yea Forums doesn't like games
That's just not true. The gay fish hitting on you doesn't make you a faggot.
Game?
Pillars of Eternity 2.
what about the rest of the game world? In the devs odd obsession and intention to make the world inoffensive to any sexual orientation, they just amde the enitre world super gay. So you can say normal things to an NPC/PC and have it turn out to have been flirting and, also in their efforts to not offend anyone, they give no means taking the flirting back. 90% of the game is dodging sex with men and that's not what people are looking for in a RPG.
>90% of the game is dodging sex with men
please try harder
You know, I only played the games once, and the only accidental sex I got was with the priest girl. Maybe you're just a latent homosexual, mate. Or maybe you're just too nice to NPC and don't know how to say "no". I was playing an edgelord Bleak Walker so I didn't have that problem.
what game is that?
once i got my monk built correctly he just literally exploded pretty much every enemy in the game.
How about reading the replies before asking stupid questions?
Supports of Forever 2
You're right. It's 100%.
So you purposefully had sex with all the men and only accidentally had sex with a woman and anyone but you is the fag? Ok, Josh.
Columns of Infinity 2: Deceased Flame
Nice try, fag. The only homo advances I remember are from the gay fish and I shut him down.
you can get random ones from your crew
No, you can't. I'm 100% sure Eder isn't a fag.
your boat crew, not your party members
I ran into about 5 faggots who wanted to fuck me in the first 3 hours so I uninstalled (pirated it of course)
>serafen says he wants to visit his girlfriend while you're on some island
>say "ok. You want to go visit her first or attend to our business first?"
>"heh, you're right capn. Let's have sex!"
and then you have sex with horrible dog man.
Kill niggers. Kill kikes. 1488
So why did neither of these happen to me?
>random
the midget was a fag too
that lighting reminds me of Nox
the turn based mode was such a letdown, not recommended
Eh. Just tell them to fuck off then.
I did I think I took a morale hit for it
Never happened to me user, stop being a faggot
Turn based combat is for autists anyway.
no it isn't
t. autist
fuck off gaylord
It did mess some of the mechanics up (initiative, casting speed, etc.), but I had good time with it nonetheless.
Who could possibly like the sequel to the dullest rpg of all time? Each attempt Obsidian makes to create their own universe rather than simply deconstruct a setting made by others, has been more disastrous than the last. Aside from the outdated gameplay and lifeless cities, Pillars of Eternity's only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of combat mechanics, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Sawyer vetoed the idea of making anything at all innovative or original; he made sure the game would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable nostalgia pandering to ageing Baldur's Gate fans. Pillars of Eternity might be anti-casual(or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Divinity series in its refusal of spontaneity, fun and excitement.
>a-at least the writing was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the narrative was terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time I engaged in dialogue with an NPC the game presented me with a Wiki-page style infodump instead of anything resembling actual human conversation.
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sawyer's mind is so governed by obsession with pointless minutiae of the lore that he has no other style of writing.
Later I read a lavish, loving review of Pillars of Eternity by the same David Gaider. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kiddies are playing Obsidian games at 17 or 18, then when they get older they will go on to enjoy Dragon Age II." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Pillars of Eternity" you are, in fact, trained to shill for Bioware.
And here he is. How can you always shit up every PoE2 thread on Yea Forums. Go play your castrated Divinity series, sperg.

Faggot.
utterly based
seething
The samefaggotry is strong with the sperg.
Did they ever fix the cringe writing in the first one? I played for 3 hours, then uninstalled and never bothered with it. It read like the fanfiction of some cRPG. Character motivations and main plot seemed really like piss poor excuses for the game trying to shallowly copy BG and little else.

Larian-bots as arid and souless as the games themselves. Trigger for me, bitches!
Real time combat in a CRPG is shit.

this sounds like retarded nostalgia. tell me about the character motivations in baldur's gate
>play game
>don't get ass fucked by surprise
>go on Yea Forums
>everyone saying there is unavoidable ass fucking
I don't get it, how can someone thread the needle of homosexuality this hard?
You already said that, meme-bot.
ending was garbage

nobody said unavoidable
It has dedicated shizo shitposter who shitting in threads 24/7. Mods confirmed his existence
#Trump2020 reich will GAS ALL KIKES sieg heil
i don't recall it looking this nice
Loadings of Eternity
This game probably has the best art of all current crpgs
Too bad the writing and gameplay sucks
Imagine D:OS gameplay, pathfinder: kingmakers writing and PoEs art
Why does everything on this site derail into gay/blacked/cucked discussions
the gameplay doesn't suck though
RTwP is extremly outdated especially if you're going to let every class have multiple abilites on short cooldowns
RTwP was great in games like Baldurs Gate where you basically only paused for your wizard
I didn't say BG had deep character motivations. How can you play cRPGs when you have piss poor reading comprehension, leading conclusions and statements where there are none?
Many people complained about the style of writing in PoE, with its excessive wordiness. I want to know if it was ever fixed.
Now that i think of it, the combat was pretty obtuse as well, and criticized by others too. The attacks of opportunity were too punishing and frankly, having a pen and paper system on PC was ridiculously cumbersome. The same applies to Pathfinder, but that game pulled it off better thanks to the uneven difficulty making the battle system look more of a challenge and less of an annoyance.
lmaoing at your life

you're opinions are extrmely outdated
I thought it was pretty good, v is pol 2.0 though and doesn't care about video games

Back to pol
This one is slowly seething his way to suicide, because of repressed transsexuality. Give it time.
But my answer was no
every character in the game treats you like you're bisexual, either because that's the assumed default of the world or because they think you are one
both are pretty cringe
I think they gave us what we asked for, but lots of people realised they didn't really want that. I think a lot of these people wouldn't make it through baldur's gate if they weren't nostalgiafags playing it on autopilot and skipping all the text because they've already read it all, playing it back when they were more easily amused by low tier fantasy
>attacks of opportunity were too punishing
I found fighters to be a little bit too good at tanking I guess, but I also thought all those fags wanting attacks of opportunity removed (because their idea of tactics is having 5 ranged weapons / spellcasters and just running away constantly) should kys. I liked a lot of the design. chanters and barbarians were based. being able to put any class in any armour and use any weapon was nice. white march was very comfy
Im gonna have to agree with this post. Kingmaker was jarring as fuck trying to babysit all the characters, but it really changed the way I played the game and i finally adapted to it. I found myself using the slow mo on default so I could strategize better instead of just letting my companions autoattack all the time. A lot of fights are decided in the first few rounds.
Absolutely fucking glorious. Doing God's work as usual.
/thread
Because it's a really bad game.
I don't want to go into a soul / soulless comparison, but it's like Sawyer didn't understand what made people like the first game despite its flaws and what they hated about it.
Everything that was good in the first game is gone, everything that was shit is cranked up to eleven.
And there's the differrence between the quality of writing. Dyrwood might not stand out much but it felt like a place you could care about. Meanwhile the Deadfire is dull and awfully written, like someone just replaced the words in a CIA world factbook entry.
So what do you think made /pol/ hate the game?
Can you name any reason why they'd be so against it?
>When you play "Pillars of Eternity" you are, in fact, trained to shill for Bioware.
truer words were never spoken
lol
in the case of Deadfire though, it's perfectly deserved
what's ME3 is for the
>i'll always be mad
user is Deadfire for me
deadfire was good though
>autismo sawyerino strikes yet again
Looks nice but the main story is fucking boring and i found the gameplay easy.
Also i expected the romance to be bad but it's actually horrible and was bugged on release
>v is pol 2.0 though
based and redpilled
No it wasn't.
It's bad enough that it made me lose all hope for Obsidian titles.
The whole story is so similar that I'm starting to mix up Bioware and Obsidian's names in my posts.
yes it was
>Perhaps the die was cast when Sawyer vetoed the idea of making anything at all innovative or original
I think Sawyer is almost as horrible as Todd when it comes to vidya. But Sawyer + Urquhart idea/resulation seems like the ultimate death knell for any vidya ever.
no fuck off
What! Deadfire IS a BAD game user AND it IS a HATED game user BECAUSE it DOES have BAD wifes AND it DOES have BAD wifes story user! What! Both wifes DO leave you IN ending user you CANNOT have FAITHFUL wife user BECAUSE they DO leave you IN ending user! Deadfire IS poop AND Obsidian IS poop user BECAUSE of BAD wifes user! (It is! It is!)
>have best writer in the whole industry in your team
>let him to design a character here and there but nothing remotely major
god forbid the game gets remotely interesting
>Loadings of Eternity
god, this is so true.
I swear to fucking god, Serpent in the Staglands also had abysmal fucking loading times.
why is that? it's a unity game and the other one as well so it's not like it needs crazy resources or anything. hell, even modded Skyrim SE loads faster than any of these games.
seems like Obsidian is equally retarded as Bethesda nowadays. oh well.
which character did he design?
i thought he had nothing to do with Deadfire
none. I was talking about the PoE 1 anyway.
sorry for confusion.
Bravo, that will show those Obsidiots their place
Bad writing and somewhat soulless.
that sounds terrible bro
