March 26, 201510 yr You get the feeling the entire PC gaming community is getting behind PoE. I suspect it's a lot of reviewers nostalgic for the pre-cursor games, let's hope a new generation of people find them equally awesome. Or maybe, just maybe, the game is actually really, really good...
March 26, 201510 yr One of the reviewers noted that it took him 60 hours to finish the game with around 50 side quests on normal difficulty. I wonder how many side quests are there and if he had cleared the mega dungeon. An ex-biophysicist but currently Studying Schwarzschild singularities' black holes' Hawking radiation using LAZORS and hypersonic sound wave models. My main objective is to use my results to take over the world!
March 26, 201510 yr It sounds like SuperBunnyhop's George really liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml3EdUJJOPw

March 26, 201510 yr It sounds like SuperBunnyhop's George really liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml3EdUJJOPw Oh dear, looks like there's some serious Planescape verbiage in there.
March 26, 201510 yr My only question is does the current generation of 12-19 year old's even like to read? I grew up on Zork and Enchanter so I like text heavy games but does the modern generation? Other than that the reviews sound awesome! Looks like Obsidian hit a out-of-the-park grand slam!

March 26, 201510 yr Looks like Obsidian's best rated game of all time. Hope they can make more games like this.
March 26, 201510 yr Someone has already given it a 0 on metacrtitic didn't take as long as I thought for the trolls to come out from under the bridge. I can understand if people don't like it and give it a four or five, but 0 is a tad harsh.... "Those who look upon gods then say, without even knowing their names, 'He is Fire. She is Dance. He is Destruction. She is Love.' So, to reply to your statement, they do not call themselves gods. Everyone else does, though, everyone who beholds them.""So they play that on their fascist banjos, eh?""You choose the wrong adjective.""You've already used up all the others.” Lord of Light
March 26, 201510 yr So review scores are coming and them are just awesome, i need to get the **** out of my job and play the **** out of this. Edited March 26, 201510 yr by iampolo
March 26, 201510 yr 8/10 from GamereactorUK/ES http://www.gamereactor.eu/reviews/302404/Pillars+of+Eternity/ 88/100 from Pixel Dynamo http://www.pixeldynamo.com/reviews/2015/03/26/47773/pillars-of-eternity/ Edited March 26, 201510 yr by LordCrash
March 26, 201510 yr Nice to see the first perfect 10 is up but I am concerned about the two traitors that rated PoE with 9.0 and 9.2......completely unacceptable, should be banned from Metacritic. Escapist pegged it at 100. Looks good. As all reviewers should.....a very sad thing to say but I am glad some are doing what they are supposed to do. Edited March 26, 201510 yr by Darth Trethon
March 26, 201510 yr LOL, the first user troll reviews are coming in on metacritic - serious trolls would at least wait until the final release... I'm still looking forward to the review from IncGamers. Imho they are the new bastion of PC gaming. Edited March 26, 201510 yr by LordCrash
March 26, 201510 yr IGN Finland praises game and gives it 9.2/10 http://fi.ign.com/pillars-of-eternity-pc/68800/review/arvostelussa-pillars-of-eternity
March 26, 201510 yr That Gamereactor review was terribly written and vague. Yeah, that was the lamest of the bunch so far.
March 26, 201510 yr Couple more hours, then it is on like Donkey Kong! Those reviews all have me really excited. I thought I already knew what character I was going to play, but might have to rethink things.... "1 is 1"
March 26, 201510 yr 9/10 from MMORPG.com http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/1029/view/reviews/load/374/page/1
March 26, 201510 yr Don't pay attention to the user reviews on metacritic. They are invariably extreme. Its the ones from publications that matter. Especially the longstanding ones like PC Gamer and The Escapist.
