I played a bit at my brothers house and I’m copping a switch because of it.


Question for you Hex, is Divinity 2 really that good? I love games like that so any feed back is much appreciated

"Divinity: Original Sin" 1&2 are both GOAT level if you like old school CRPGs like "Baldur's Gate", "Neverwinter Nights", etc.

It's out and I already downloaded it but I probably won't get a chance to get into it for a couple days.

Is it really gonna be the same length tho? It's cheaper than the base game. Either way, we gone eat.
The fact that it's a prequel kinda puts me off to it. I've never really heard the pitch of any prequel and thought that's a interesting story to tell I really want them to make that.

I was wondering why this thread was so dead then I realized it's not officially out until Friday. :mjlol:

Anyway, I been playing this and it's dope as fukk. They really bumped the graphics up, it looks real nice.

Combat system is almost completely different....Drivers can now equip weapons separately from their Blade, and you can play as your Blade directly. And when you swap them in it's kinda like "Marvel vs Capcom" where they do a quick attack (in this case, Break, Topple, Launch, Smash) and you regain HP when you swap characters. Also each character has a Technique Art which gives you a big boost (recharges all your Arts instantly, lets you evade all attacks for 10 seconds) but also has a downside (halves your HP instantly, uses all your Arts) so you gotta be strategic with how you use them.

I've only been playing a little while so I haven't found a town or Inn but you can use camp fires to rest (and spend extra EXP), craft things, or prompt conversations with your party.

So far this is well worth the money.

Fred.

I'm addicted again :snoop:
Mostly filling out affinity charts for now. It's a lot more manageable than the main game cause there are only 6 blades total. I'm already almost 4 levels completely filled out on Jin's chart.

The new battle theme, the re-worked battle system :wow:
Told y'all this was about to be the Brood War for RPGs

So was the first iteration as good as people say? I mean I thought it looked ok and didn't think it was going to be as good as the first Chronicles. It seems though everyone praises the 2nd one. Honestly I've been stuck on Zelda BOTW and havent played any other switch game since I copped it for my bday this past March. Only other game I have is Mario Odyssey and that is still in plastic wrap

I'm level 60 in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (I beat Odyssey and BOTW, with all shrines completed), I think BOTW is my favorite game on the Switch BUT if Xenoblade 2 continues to keep me glued, I may have to reconsider. The storyline is probably better than BOTW.

Thread dead as fukk. :gucci:

Where is everyone? This dropped today, didn't it?

I just got the ability to Chain Attack again so I'm tearing shyt up.

Game is low key sad as fukk because 90% of the people in it are dead in "XC2".

I'd be no lifing the shyt out of this game if I wasn't starting a new job so soon :manny: I remember how I did the first game and this is supposedly better across the board

Can't make that investment right now or the switch screen will be the only light in my apartment :mjlol:
