@udubdawgz Micro transactions in GW2 is all cosmetic, or at most is a minoraid in things, an example is the perminent harvesting tools, which although they do last forever, the equivilent in gold makes it jut a cosmetic add on.
@I_ArCh0n_I @Fationable_Late I actually log into GW2 a lot and there is always overflows in a lot of areas I don't know which server you are on but just now pretty much every person is in overflows for one of the Living Story events.
Also Guild Wars 2 is Buy to Play not Pay to Play or Free to Play.
I was so looking forward to TES Online, but not any more. I understand why they chose the method, but it means low income people can't actually afford it. I think I'll be sticking with Guild Wars 2. The Living Story there is interesting, and although the personal story isn't that good, I think it will get better as more and more expansions are released. After all Guild Wars Prophecies was TERRIBLE but Nightfall was excellent. I'd rather pay microtransactions for skins and other things than pay out a flat monthly fee for something I may not wish to play every month, yet feel obliged to after all I'm paying for it.
@TBear7130 Please correct me if I have what you mean wrong, but are you implying that Divinity: Original Sin is a remake of the older Divinity games? If so then you are completely wrong. Divinity: Original Sin is a prequel to the first three games and a follow up to Divinity: Dragon Commander (a RTS game being released in July). This would make it as much of a update to old game models as Deus Ex Human Revolution is to Deus Ex.
I believe that Larian will charge fairly for the work that they have done for one of the best games that I have seen in recent times.
@electroban Honestly, you need to look into games before commenting in such a manner. Yes it's a co-op game, but I doubt that its the type of co-op game that you THINK it is. Have a look at the pre-alpha footage from the other people also invited to play Divinity: Original Sin.
@BFKZ Just because Divinity: Original Sin is turn based doesn't mean that it's bad. In fact it's likely going to benefit from it being turn based because you have a sense of strategy for each of your turns. Larian also has a good history for their Divinity franchise, and I trust that they know exactly what they are doing.
@GamerGeek87 The current build has no music, what you heard was either music provided by Larian for a backdrop for the video or was placed in the video by Gamespot. With one of the stretch goals, Kirill Pokrovsky (the composer for all the Divinity games to date) has his own orchestra.
@commanderxp90 @Katrinya You don't HAVE to, but I highly recommend doing so. I first played Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga, and a few of the references went over my head until I played Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity after it. You don't need to play any of the previous games in the series for Divinity: Original Sin as it's a prequel to the last three games.
