Yall ever play pillars of eternity.

If so is it worth my time on ps4

If you like RPGs, sure. I haven't played it much but it's more in line with old school CRPGs like "Neverwinter Nights" than something like "Final Fantasy", though.

Need a ps4 announcement asap.


Everything I've read says the game is selling better than the first.


The crpg renaissance has been fun to watch and get into.

A console announcement is more or less guaranteed. They ported the first game and that took 3-4 months to hit the same sales this did in 4 days.

Larian Studios just said they're gonna focus on patches for the PC version, take a vacation, then come back and look at things like console ports, etc.

"Pillars" plays exactly like the games you listed so you'd like it.

I prefer "Divinity" to "Pillars" just based on the combat system alone. Everything is affected by real world physics and the elements react like they would in the real world....IE, if you're fighting in a forest with a lot of uneven terrain you can make it rain which causes puddles....then if you use any Lightning spells not only will it do more damage, it'll also electrify any puddles which stuns enemies. There is literally dozens of things you can do like that in combat.

the music is so dope in this game :ohlawd:

it does a good job of not just being 'generic rpg music'. I guess the instrument I picked in the beginning (flute) plays into that

Theres some peeps on my steam friends list playing this shyt like its literal crack. One dude got 150 hours. Has this shyt even been out for 150 hours?:wow:

If I like regular JRPG's mostly will I like this??? Turn based combat is enticing. But one thing that rubs me the wrong way is people say the game looks incredible...shyt looks average to mediocre to me graphically from the pics Im seeing. Are they plants in the reviews??? :jbhmm:

If I wanna use a controller will I feel inadequate? I hate using KB and mouse, but from screen shots theres mad shyt on the screen, how does controller adapt to that?

Eh....stylistically there's not much difference between an old school turn based JRPG and this. It's more open world than most of those games.

As far as the graphics, I dunno....I think the game looks great.

As far as a controller, it works great. I played the first game when it first came out on PC with a KM/mouse....then the Enhanced Edition when they ported it with consoles (but still on PC) and I actually prefer the controller.

it looks good for what it is. it's an isometric RPG, so the camera never really gets close enough for 'amazing graphics'. there's also no cutscenes with motion capture and all that

but the game has a cool style, and makes good use of color. the effects look good, and overall the graphics are very clean
