You should probably just get the divinity collection (which is real cheap right now) and if you like it you can get OS while it is cheaper/finished down the line.

and if you don't like it, well, it's cheaper than getting DivOS right now.

Edit: Check out this amazing Divinity II review from a very reputable site:

gently caress I accidentally clicked through the age chooser too quick and now I can't view any good games for a while. Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaam :negative:

But are any of these games worth getting? I don't recognize most of the names except for the ones that came out in like 2001 or earlier.

You don't watch poo poo in mirror's edge because it's first person, dumbass

It'd be better if it was third person without a hack so you could see her gumby limbs fly around though

You're really stupid.

Do you say "I'm going to watch myself go to the store" when you go to the store? You aren't watching somebody do something when you're looking through their eyes.

I don't know if I'd say it's better, since they play a bit different and Sonic is less item focused, but Sonic is awesome too.

Actually I'm correct because the example he gave would be incorrect. I'm not watching myself play the game, I'm watching the screen. Despite it being in first person view I'm still watching the girl even though it's from the game's first person camera.

Where as I can't watch myself unless I'm viewing myself from a camera. In which case yes I can watch myself go to the store.

I am separated from the game itself, where as his example made it be a direct action. They don't work, it's like clementines and cucumbers.

You aren't loving watching her do the poo poo, you're seeing it through her eyes and directing it. You are watching the environment, not watching her. "Watching x do y" implies you are looking at object x as it performs action y.

Here's a better example: you don't say you're watching somebody record a cat doing funny poo poo, you say you are watching a cat doing funny poo poo. Maybe you'd say you're watching a video of it, but if you used that terminology you'd say you're watching the game, not the character you're playing.

Just learn to admit when you're wrong and you'll look a lot less stupid.

Dude I am playing a videogame, I am watching the screen. I am not Faith herself. I am using a controller to make things move on the screen. I am still looking at the screen.






Watch is defined to look at something carefully, usually at something which is moving. Stuff is moving on my videogame computer, much like it would be on a TV screen.
