    Kotaku Raves about early Pillars Experience

    in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)

    Posted · Edited by kozzy

     

    never played it, but we did see frequent complaints about south park bugginess at release.  it were one o' the only things we do recall from reviews o' a game we had no intention o' playing.  we like south park (most o' the time) but a sp game didn't grab us.  regardless, we do recall bugs being mentioned. 

     

     

    Not sure what they were talking about. I played it release day and didn't hit a single bug that I can remember. Might have been some problem exclusive to consoles.

     

    There was a handful of reviews that said they had issues, but most where positive and didn't mention bugs.

    Keys ? When ?

    Now to pray Green Man Gaming is on top of it and releases their steam keys at some point before release. Wont be too awful as i have a great internet speed, but man it would be good to get going those couple hours sooner. I wonder if the manual will become available upon entering in your key for the preload or if everything is encrypted until release.

    Wish you luck man, most the time they seem to give the keys up in a good manner of time but I have had two experiences with them where I didn't get my key early enough to preload the game and a bit late, but that was rare!

    Game journalists seem obsessed by Obsidians reputation for bugginess, yet when New Vegas had almost the exact same (if not worse) bugs as Fallout 3 and Skyrim, it was Obsidian who had Russ Pitts frothing at the mouth and screaming that he was done with the developer, while Skyrim was of course best game forevah and evah. Seems a little two faced, especially when South Park and Dungeon Siege (both steady as rocks) were not praised for their lack of bugs.

    This is one thing I never understood at all. Bethesda games get praised and rarely mentioned for bugs, yet Obsidian has got slammed in the past, while Bethesda just gets away with it lol. I had 1 crash in my first playthrough of Fallout New Vegas, while having 5 in Fallout 3.

     

    I had some issues in NWN2, New Vegas had some quest bugs,etc.. but in all honesty I have yet to have any gamebreaking bugs where I can't go ahead or it messes up my whole game with Obsidian. I heard some people having non stop crashes with Alpha Protocol, only issue I had in that game was some ai bugs and one spot where the fps would dip down, no crashes though in two playthrough's. Then as you said, South Park and DS3, the least buggy of Obsidian's games that I have played and yet there is little to no mention about this with reviewers.

     

    I have loved some of Bethesda's games in the past (daggerfall and Morrowind the most), but imo they have had just as buggy games as Obsidian if not more buggy from my personal experience.

    Actually I could go for a pizza right about now.

     

    Will Obsidian get a pizza delivered to my house?

    mmmmmmm pizza, stop teasing me! :w00t:

     

     

    I don't have pizza but I do have homemade fishcakes and chips (fries for all you Americans) in the oven - they should be done in about 15 mins.

     

    mmmmmmmm fishcakes and chips, why must you all tease me!

    If this article isn't a breach of the NDA I don't know what is...and at first glance it seems positive but it isn't really, note the cramped area remarks etc :/

    If you read the whole article it is overall very positive... its not 100% positive and some issues they have but that is how most first impressions go. Once again I am not acting like Kotaku (or any site) is the holly grail of opinions, just that its nice to see a big huge gaming site having positive things to say and bringing some new interested gamers to Pillars (I have already seen on other forums this article made a handful of people preorder, so its doing some good).

     

    After Alpha Protocol reviews and New Vegas getting 84% instead of 85% and them not getting there bonus happened, its just nice to see some positivity coming Obsidian's way in the mainstream gaming press!

    But I have a strict policy of doing the opposite of what Kotaku tells me to do... ;(

     

     

     

    Quick Obsidian, pay them off to say your game is garbage before people get the wrong idea.

    I usually feel teh same about most big gaming websites and reviews but this is Obsidian, I always like to see them do well. If a mainstream website says they like it, that is good in my book just for the fact it will get even more people interested :biggrin:

     

    Would love to see Obsidian get rave reviews all around :bow:
