I petered out on WL2 and I'm not sure why because i've played Wasteland to completion probably 14 times. I'm locked at the rail nomads and I don't know why. The game won't hold me.

I have never played any of the Divinities.

i ran out of steam on WL2, divinity AND shadowrun. not sure turn based rpgs do anything for me anymore. or maybe those games weren't actually very good. divinity seems kinda overrated.

if it's the only game you play and you have a lot of free time to burn, those games are super fun and rewarding. but if you don't they seem like work and once a game passes into that realm, I have a hard time going back to it.

divinity felt like it really overstayed its welcome with a setting and story and characters that were poo poo and that i didn't care about and a bunch of stupid mechanics like crafting and weapon degradation that were only in there because it's a ~crpg~. shadowrun was at least short, and dragonfall owned.

divinity has really good coop when neither of the people playing know what is going on and just get killed repeatedly in amusing ways

divinity owns because it's basically a 2014 version of Ultima 7 and a bunch of other 90s pc games, and everyone has to say that they love it even though they were bored to tears because ~90s pc games~

I decided to buy it. It's actually very nice! About 3" by 3" so it's pretty substantial. The metal's a little thinner than I would have wanted, but it's about as heavy as it can get without you needing to worry about it weighing down the branches of your Christmas tree. There were a couple of nicks and marks from production not buffed out but that took a couple seconds to fix with a Dremel. 8/10 buy it if you want a Pikachu on your Christmas tree.

just wanted to say that Valve has some of the best sound designers in the industry. the Half-Life games alone have some of the best audio effects I've ever heard

there's a fair few stock sounds in those games that i've heard elsewhere unless valve recorded them originally

Libraries or no they picked the best sounds. To this day the ar2 is one of the most convincing firearm sounds ive heard in a game
