    Billionaire wealth is an ethereal apparition that appears in different forms to different groups of people … to the billionaire, it is a source of power and control … to government revenue agencies its hidden as a tiny lump of coal … to common people it is the size of a mountain range … to the free market it is infinite … and if enough of these people should lose faith in what it’s worth, it all disappears in an instant

    Still - I wish I had a room full of gold coins so I could build a diving board right over it and dive into it, and break most my bones and teeth when I land and, like Peter Griffin, I realize it’s a great pile of solid metal not a soft liquid. I’d laugh while my teeth fell out. That would be so hilarious!

        It is Divinity, they fixed that particular issue in Baldurs Gate 3 because too many people were joking about it. Now the chests change to empty when you loot them.

      It’s Divinity: Original Sin 2. That’s The Red Prince on the left. It’s a highly frustrating game with annoying mechanics and turn-based combat.

          And? It has negative reviews too. I’m sure many people loved it, but many others didn’t. And there are many more who never played it because they didn’t like the original or heard bad things. Sequels are more likely to be purchased by people who liked the original game.

          Edit: You fanboys are something else. Downvote reality all you want, other people are allowed to have opinions too.

            And?

            And that shows that you are obviously in the minority with your opinion. Most people who played Divinity 2 gave it a positive rating, so many even that it got the excellent ratings I linked before.

            Sequels are more likely to be purchased by people who liked the original game.

            I never played the original game and anyway liked Divinity 2 a lot. I think it’s an outstanding rpg and recommend it to anyone interested in the genre. If you don´t like it that´s fine but don´t present your individual opinion as being objective.

              So, my opinion is invalid, but yours is okay? Think about the base that is likely to play this game. I’m sure most of them have the same opinion as you. When it comes time review, they would probably like it.

              You, however, are using biased sampling (people who bought the game, and people paid to play games) and an echo chamber to conclude that your viewpoint is the only valid one. Do you see the flaw here?

              What about people who don’t like what you like? They’re not spending $50 on a game they don’t like. I tried DOS (1 & 2) because of the reviews and my live for games like Baldur’s Gate and Pillars. But this game series wasn’t for me and I’m allowed to say so.

                they were just offering a second viewpoint given that yours was the only one present below their comment at the time 😅

                it’s a turn based old school rpg. of course it isn’t for everyone…

                if you like any turn based old school rpgs there’s a good chance this is worth a shot.

            I realize my input is mostly meaningless and I didn’t downvote you, but what I think is funny about this whole thread is that the game mechanics and turn based combat are fantastic. I don’t really think those points are subjective, those are literally two of the main things that make the game great. The dynamic aspect of the elements and the surfaces and how those all interplay are just really well done. I’m not in any way saying you should like them, but if you’ve played Pillars and other similar games and are not just a “random dumb shooter” player I’d personally imagine you could be objective about the good parts of the game and still just acknowledge, “but I just couldn’t get into it.” Or “I can see where they were going with the mechanics but I think it’s too much.” (Which would be valid criticism) To me that’s why you’re being downvoted.
