PS4 And Xbox One Getting Acclaimed RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2

@Kougeru: Something is wrong with your rig then

@Barighm: this one shipped with a ton of game breaking bugs and quests that just end when you know they were not meant to. It doesn't deserve more than an 8/10

@Barighm: They are dead to me.

@snugglebear: Nope. While you do have a home base of sorts, you're not really even required to go there very often if you don't want to. Also, there are no resources you have to put into it and it never just randomly comes under attack, so you will never have to drop what you are doing to go back there (unless you want to re-spec your character. But again, that's optional).

@gotrekfabian: Larian made this game, not Obsidian.

@gotrekfabian: I'll definitely do my part spreading the information around. I for one I'm eager to challenge the narrative that console gamers only enjoy triple A third person action adventures and want more games like this to be released simultaneously on consoles and PCs. I hope this game will be released early August so that I'll have time to complete it before Spider-Man.

@everson_rm: same. I strongly dislike isometric viewpoint, which utterly destroys immersion for me, but I love JRPGs, turn based especially. I love a couple of WRPGs (Witcher 3...so maybe not a couple). I imagine this one will be isometric only, too, so sadly I'll have to pass.

@everson_rm: If you hate RPGs, you won't like this game, because it is an RPG.

@everson_rm: I'd recommend giving it another shot, if you feel up to it. It does start slow, but it picks up in the middle and end and is really worth it.

As for the second game, it starts off much faster and finds its rhythm much sooner, so that might make it appeal to you more. Also, the narrative is much darker and serious. The writing is also like 100x better as well.

As a side note, you don't HAVE to play the first Original Sin to understand the second. They are separated by hundreds of years and it takes place between other games in the franchise. However, you will miss out on some lore and events may be harder to understand at first but it does a good job of filling in the gaps.

@everson_rm: Also, I'm waist deep in the first one now, and I will say it takes some time to get going. I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did. But, won't lie, takes more than a couple hours to find its groove. If you've got the time, I'd recommend a second shot at it.

@everson_rm: Yes, largely. Turn based combat, isometric viewpoint, fantasy setting.
