Swen Vincke is telling you not to play pre-Original Sin Divinity. They're outdated and offensive.
So this is code for: the game coming out is new age trash and you should skip it
Divinity II Ego Draconis was kino
Ok.
DivDiv and Beyond Div are, yes. Div2 is fine--if you can play Skyrim you can play Div2.
I liked Dragon Commander because I can have a religious autocracy and a free wife.
No he means the games are outdated because they are. I have like 200 hours on BG3 and I didn't finish Divinity Original Sin and dropped it 40 hours in. I feel like I should finish it however.
>>729142656It was complete trash.Only redeeming value was it was occasionally mildly amusing.
>>729142557Divine Divinity was considered outdated when it came out lmao.
Dragon commander is still their best game though.
Div 2 is based because it has terminator and dragon ball references
>>729142557OP, you seem to have accidentally mislaid the part of the article that said this.Could you please post it?
>>729142820>I have like 200 hours on BG3So you're a raging faggot.
>>729142557so their new Divinity will be fully DEI woke? hmm.
>>729142893if you believe x grifter narratives
>>729142557>>729142656Divinity II is my favourite Divinity, my favourite game by Larian and my favourite, what do you call them, open-world action RPGs? Like Skyrim, The Witcher and so on?Despite being a simple slasher in terms of combat, it's much more of an actual RPG than Skyrim and The Witcher 3.Also, The Dragon Knight Saga (right now: Developer's Cut) is better than Ego Draconis.
>>729142820How do people rack up so many hours in BG3? It's a linear story and the only difference is who you kill along the way.
>>729142874NEVER MISLAID ANYONE IN MY LIVEALWAYS REDEEM THE TRUTHFULL SAAR
>>729143084It has more reactivity than any other game and is also multiplayer game you can play with friends.
>>729142557Translation:>Please don't realize we make shit gameplay until we make enough to pay off our tencent masterslol
I appreciate the sentiment. A lot of Larian noobs like me only played BG3. If they are clunkier than what newcomers are expecting that could turn people off of the new game. It's why Witcher 1 is getting a remake too.
>>729142557>Nooo don't play the early games, you need to buy the new one were about to release
>>729143084for me it was from trying many, many times to see what other people see in that game, certain that I must somehow be wrong, only to find out that once again I had been right all along.
>>729143243The new one is a bit of a soft reboot of the setting, he doesn’t want people playing the janky arpg made in 2 years where half of the lore gets retconned in the next game and wondering why the new game isn’t like that.
>>729142893I'm only gay for squid
>>729143224Meds.
>>729143084crpgs take a long time anonpathfinder kingmaker took me almost 200 hours and that was just one playthrough
>>729143310Too bad, he's not my dad, I'll do whatever I want
>>729142557Are they afraid of old good new bad striking them?
>>729143224>Someone just wrote some words down and anon actually just believes it because he can't tell it's obviously fake as fuckAnon... I know /v/ is fucking retarded but god damn dude, give your brain a signal because it's fucking idling.
>>729143359That’s fine. It was just a suggestion anyway, not a mandate.
>>729143360Old: 79/100New: 96/100
>>729143418That nigga has been using that literally whos tweet as gospel for the past 2 years. Not even multiple tweets just tweet.
>>729143418It's not fake. That's a confirmable fact by public record:https://ie.globaldatabase.com/company/larian-group-holdings-limited
>>729143535Your mental illness is also a confirmable fact. You have the medical documents yet refuse treatment, making the lives of everyone around you worse. Dear mommy has quite a burden.
>>729143597>ad homsthanks for another W, larishill schizo. try to keep your attention on one thread. after all, you've flooded half the catalog at this point. must be hard even for your whole clickfarm.
>>729143773You mean objective observations. Take your meds. You're deeply, severely mentally ill.
>>729142656I liked it tooNot saying its necessarily a good game but its the only larian game ive finished.It has a certain charm
>>729142557He means they run like shit and are jank, which I can attest to since I actually play videogames. A patch could fix everything of course
>>729142557I'm gonna look for the source that OP omitted to see if this is clickbait or not, but 90% of /v/ threads (and article headlines) tend to be
>>729142557stop it swen, I already said I won't buy anymore larian games, no reason to convince me even more.
>>729145904https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/swen-vincke-warns-divinity-newcomers-that-they-probably-shouldnt-play-the-early-games-in-the-series-theyre-a-bit-outdated-by-now-which-is-putting-it-very-mildly/>"If you play [the Divinity: Original Sin games] you will see things in this Divinity that reference those two," Vincke told GamesRadar. "If you played the first Divinity, you will see it referenced properly inside of this Divinity. Ego Draconis, same story, or The Dragon Knight Sage, all of it is being referenced, but it's just part of the history of what happened in this world, and it helped shape the world to the point where it is now."---"If you really want to know everything, there's games that came before [Original Sin]," Vincke said. "But they're a bit outdated by now, they're quite old."
>>729146060So OP was just bait. Nothing about offensiveness.
>>729142557Offensively shit games, yes. Divinity was always an extremely jank, mediocre series until OS.
>>729142557"NOOO DON'T BUY OUR GAMES"Nice try Sven, now I'm buying your games for sure
>>729143473He also spergs out if you make fun of him for the time his retarded ass posted it in a Witcher 3 thread once.
>>729143473Not just tweets. He also doesn't know how 4chan works and thinks some fag trolling him and self-deleting his post was part of the psyop. Completely deranged.
>>729142557The fuck is he talking about? Dragon Commander is kino!
>>729146060So OP is a faggot baiting. Good to know.
>>729143084If you think about it, this post is also just true of life in general.
Only corporate approved no-nonsense gaming is allowed here. We are serious gamers that don’t like boobs or hating niggers. Hating other people is like, something we fucking hate. Liking boobs is so damn childish because we can’t make money if you don’t pay roastie. Damn chuds
>>729146681It is kino but it also takes place over 9000 years before the new game so it is practically irrelevant.
>>729149453It's pretty relevant if you want to have fun.
>Old game sales immediately soar after the postAt least he knows how to handle his retarded fanboys well
>>729149571He clearly doesn't or he would've never mentioned about gen AI.
>>729149552I am wondering how they’ll handle all the dragon stuff given how much time they spent building it up only to drop it for Chaos again.The new game takes place 100 years after DOS2 which is like 60 years after Divinity 2
>>729146479>Was there for that threadOne of the funniest things I ever saw on /v/.
>>729143084randomizer mod, replaying it with new people
>>729142557he means they're mediocre eurojank
>>729142842Divine Divinity is the best game in the series you literal cocksucking faggot.
>>729142557Makes sense. Propaganda evolves after all.
>>729143597>"Someone just wrote some words down and anon actually just believes it because he can't tell it's obviously fake as fuck">here is the data>"You are sick"
>>729142557I still can't believe they called a game Divine Divinity. Even for a shitpost it sounds cheap.
>>729142557My friends older brother used to play Divine Divinity when we were like 10, and I always thought what a stupid fucking name for a game.
>>729150047Is it a weird translation thing? Like when Japan thought "fucking" meant "really good" and a shop had a "fucking sale"?
>>729142820that's not one of the early games in the serieshe says in the article that original sin is where you should start
>>729150016>random faggot on 4chan says "i'm a paid marketer and you are correct" then deletes his post within 60 seconds>HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG I'M GONNA SPAM FOREVER NOWMental illness.
>>729149614I don't care a whit about AI, I hope Larian replaces cuksquad with it
Translation:>Guys, you shouldn't play first Divinity, it doesn't have any naked guys, intense orgies, sex jokes, interspecies sex, visible dongs and only very mild political commentary. I'm so sorry for not letting my intense fetishes influence game design back then.
>>729151105>t doesn't have any naked guys, intense orgies, sex jokes, interspecies sex, visible dongs and only very mild political commentary. Wrong.
>>729151381I don't recall any orgies in first Divinity.
/v/ is so fucking retarded.
>>729150498>deletes his post within 60 seconds!>*the post is still there, so are the replies*>Y-y-y-you are sick!Regardless, thank you. Your kind always provides.
>>729142656it's the best Divinity and will continue to stay so
>>729142557it's wild to say this with the fantasy race mixing in the new one
The thing is the older games are genuinely jank as hell, and suffer from both lack of experience by the devs, and corporate meddling.
>>729151565Incredibly low IQ moment. You're a certified Indian.
>>729151087Kill yourself. All *AI* defenders should kill themselves. You are too stupid to be allowed to live. *AI* companies are buying all the electronics components right now so there will be no console/PC gaming in the future but you faggots are over here defending it?
>>729150047>>729150127Retard publisher thought that alliteration would make it “pop” more, even though it makes no sense. Original title was “Divinity: Sword of Lies”
>>729152717Because I do not care. Gaming as an industry clearly wants to die, seeing that it works harder for socmedia ratings than money, and good riddance to it
>>729142557They are pretty mid euro slopDragon commander is cool tho
>>729143084>Linear story More nonlinear than 95% of western rpgs
>>729142557FUCK YOU SWEN!!
>>729143224Why are chinese backed games so much more kino then other games? No wonder the west is losing
>>729142557If you can turn unto a dragon in the new one I'm not playing it. Ego Draconis was awesome and the peak of Divinity so far. OS 1 and 2 are wildly overrated
>>729142557Okay, so if I ever play any of the Divinity games, it will only be the pre-Original Sin games.
>>729142557>and offensive.he didn't say thatyou made that up
>>729142842Divine divinity is the only non pozzed game they have ever made
>>729153485No, it's not like you don't care, it's simply an excuse since you are too retarded to think ahead farther than few days.
>>729153610I know this is bait, but it really says a lot that retards will unironically say that “China-backed games are better than the west” when specificslly talking about a game MADE by westerners. The Chinese continue to prove that their greatest achievements are paying someone else to make art for them.
>>729150402Oh hey I remember playing Divinity: Dragon Commander, the game was pretty bad and the skeleton tits didn't make up for it
>>729142557Divinity was always mid
>>729142656Basedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRzvLrriF1E
>>729142557>offensiveThat's obviously not what he meant, you disingenuous fucking retard
>>729150402Damn man I remember when those 5 and 4 years between mainline games felt like huge era shiftsNowadays the average game takes 8 years to make
>>729142557He's right though.
>>729142557>>729142632as if baldurs cuck 3 wasn't already telling enough
>>729142557Beyond Divinity sucked, but the other ones are fine.
>>729153545SOUL! It was the perfect mix between Diablo, Nox and Ultima
>>729143123>It has more reactivity than any other gameOnly really for the first act.
