Divinity Original Sin 9

Review

It's worth noting as well, the pc still has Wasteland 2 and Pillars Of Eternity to be released this year.

From everything I hear, it's an incredibly well deserved score.

Amazing. I wonder if consoles will even get an RPG this gen that remotely stacks up to this one in terms of content...

Completely deserved,one of the very best RPG´s in years.

Apparently Dragon Age: Inquisition will have much content, so Bioware boasts.

It would be presumptuous to write if off as a casual console Skyrim hack in slash On the other hand, it would be a factually correct statement.

It's great that a game flying well bellow the hype radar made this much success. With mods and shit, we might get great stuff years ahead.

Damn, took him long enough to get this out! Pretty much what I expected though. GS hasn't been to generous with the 10/10s lately (with the exception of that stupid fucking Gone Home game), and the game has enough minor flaws to take away that 1 point.

Capture footage of the game looks really dark on their review vid for some reason.

Another AAA for PC .

There will be good games on both consoles but when it comes to RPGs , PC is always the best choice . Most so called RPGs on consoles are action games with some RPG elements , nothing more . The only thing that comes close is Demon Souls but it lacks deep storyline , which makes it incomplete package , unlike games like D:OS , Witcher and other computer RPGs .

Was this game made with a AAA budget?

If not then I don't like it. It's too "indie trash and/or f2p moba" for me. I only like consoles.

Damn another 9.The game must be really good.

Another AAA, another common day in the PC realm.

steam workshop is already starting to populate.

Gone Home was 9.5/10 .

Game seems to get nothing but praise from reviewers and gamers.

Belgium has like one worthwhile gaming studio, proud they can make something of this quality.

Not my type of game but i think it deserve it.

Aside from chocolate the country hasn't really contributed anything to the world until now.

My money was well spent buying this great game.

Well,they kicked the US out of the world cup so that´s something at least. And they have some of the best motocross riders in the world.

Aye I agree, sad thing though is I spent $31 on it during the steam summer sale, sucks cause now I feel guilty for buying it on sale since it's such a good game :(.

Don't care.. whether it gets 9 or over 9000 not into turn bases games... the game's good though..

Lol? Ever heard about the anti-conception pill or the higgs-boson particle?

Previous year a Belgian got the nobel prize for physics.

And of course, the best festival of the world, tommorowland.

I think they achieved quite a lot for such a small country

Best overall rpg in years imo, amazing rpg with some of the best combat ever in an rpg. I usually am not huge on turnbased combat but this is fantastic. Great dialogue, good characters, wonderful combat, nice art design, good coop, wonderful music, good humor and the list goes on.

Another good review by Kevin to, nice to have an rpg that doesn't treat you like a child finally! A shining example of how to properly do Kickstarter and Early Access (especially with some of the bad examples of late). Divine Divinity was in my top 10 rpgs of all time and I must say only thing Divine Divinity did better imo was the story, but everything else is better in Divinity Original Sin. Larian has created an rpg with an old school vibe but with many new aspects of there own.

Or the saxophone or Tintin :p

We also have quite a few well known cyclocross and cycle sport riders.

And best of all: more kinds of beer per capita than any other country in the world :D

It's just that compared to neighboring countries (the netherlands, france, germany, UK) we have very few game developers. So it's great that Larian managed to achieve so much praise.

Looks cool. Will have to get my hands on it once it drops in price. Can't justify buying it right now, even tho i want to!

Indeed. Belgium saved PC gaming.

The game is huge, and i think Kevin was having too much fun to stop to review it. :P

Seriously? A game gets a great score and that's what you're wondering about? How truly sad and pathetic.

Anyway, game looks awesome. My urge to play it will be bigger than my disgust at sitting at my desk while doing it.

Well played, Larian, well played. They have been supporting it pretty well too, fixing bugs and other minor issues. I hope Larian keeps this up and releases an expansion pack or sequel using the same engine and formula, because this game is nothing but brilliant.

In sweden, the success of some swedish game developers, encouraged the government to invest into the game industry since it turned out to be profitable grounds, which in turn resulted in more game designers. I wonder if this game may push a similar thing for belguim.

I think gaming is probably the last thing on Belgian politicians mind. I don't even know if there is a grant or anything for game developers.

Sweden has some really nice developers :)

Nice score, but still, best RPG of 2014 is between Dark Souls II and DA: Inquisition.

That's just plain stupid.

I want it, but have no dolla

What an amazing country. Wherever it is.

You check the map; the dark fog spots are where you need to go next. You are welcome.

@parkurtommo: Did you expect anything else :P

Honestly, with the way things are looking. I wouldnt be surprised if DA:I got a 6.

So what other upcoming games have you played with that time machine of yours?

And so begins the era of crowd-funded games outscoring AAA high-budget blockbusters.

Now if only the story was good.

Nope, Divinity is better in every single aspect imo when compared to Dark Souls II. As for new Dragon Age, Bioware has been crap lately with SWTOR and Dragon Age 2 not expecting much. More looking forward to Wasteland 2 and Pillars of Eternity more to be honest.

Especially the combat, from the videos we have seen it looks pretty meh.

Dragon Age: Inquisition coke can in a production line.

Cynical. Insulting. Other negative words.

Yeah this game totally deserves it. I haven't been able to put it down since I started; I've been dumping most of my free time into it. The one missing point makes sense, there are a few bugs, and the map is only meant to be viewed from a small angle so you get some weird side-effects if you enable 360 degree rotation.

The one mod I'm really waiting for is one that adds 3d trees. This is my one complaint and it barely registers. It is kinda silly though, you rotate the camera 90 degrees and all the leaves disappear because they're parallel planes.

What mods would you like to see?

No the game is a kickstarter game so its a Indie game not AAA

we all know the game was too complicated for you

You mean between Divinity,Wasteland 2 and Pillars of Eternity,at least for the people that actually like RPG´s.

Dark Souls 2 is definetely more 3rd person hack and slash than RPG; it's not in the same league as DOS as an RPG and obviously the jury is still out on DA.

Honestly, probably the best RPG I've played since the Chrono Trigger/Final Fantasy III days of the SNES.

Forget RPG of the year...this should definitely win Game of the Year for PC.
