Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 See this Twitter thread from an actual FIG investor in the game: And this is just another of the many reasons why Obsidian is selling itself to Microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massdriver Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 That sucks. I enjoyed Pillars and I really enjoyed Tyranny which I finished right before I finished Prey earlier this year. In fact, I like Tyranny better than any of the isometrics I've played recently. I think the ending was cool. I bought Deadfire for $30 on a sale recently and intend to play it. Obsidian selling to Microsoft makes a lot of sense. What's odd is we see that isometric RPGs are not dead. Divinity OS 2 sold really really well. Obsidian went the wrong route with their 2d art I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked how a lot of the evil players weren't really evil. They were very human conquerors in a fucked up harsh world. That's how I tended to play my character too. I really liked their engine in PoE II. It was still rough in some places, but it felt like they were finding a good spot that blended art with CG. Lack of camera control was the biggest issue though.

I look forward to playing it some time after I finish D:OS 2. For whatever reason, Obsidian's rpgs just were not selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Maybe it will do decent sales on PS 4 when it comes out in March? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably don't have a marketing budget for it, so I doubt it will sell all that well. I hope I'm wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlityn Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Don't worry big dog, I'll pick it up eventually so you can rely on that $.04 return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massdriver Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I started Divinity OS 2 and I love it. It is so beautiful and everything feels solid. I’m sad to see Obsidian probably done for a while with the rpgs I love, but I am glad Divinity is doing so well because I would love another sequel and more games with this engine!
