LordCrash Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 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...
barakav Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 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. 1 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!
.Leif. Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 It sounds like SuperBunnyhop's George really liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml3EdUJJOPw

Monte Carlo Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 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.
CynicalP Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 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!

Justinian Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 You know an RPG has delivered when the German reviewers all love it... 2
Hiro Protagonist II Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Looks like Obsidian's best rated game of all time. Hope they can make more games like this.
rheingold Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 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
iampolo Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) 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, 2015 by iampolo

Darth Trethon Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) 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, 2015 by Darth Trethon
vetiver Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I'm so hyped up right now I think I got some sick on my collar.
Justinian Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 That Gamereactor review was terribly written and vague.
Sensuki Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Going to sell like hotcakes from the top of the metacritic list it seems. 1
LordCrash Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) 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, 2015 by LordCrash
Elerond Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 IGN Finland praises game and gives it 9.2/10 http://fi.ign.com/pillars-of-eternity-pc/68800/review/arvostelussa-pillars-of-eternity 2
gyanacheak86 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 That Gamereactor review was terribly written and vague. Yeah, that was the lamest of the bunch so far.
Michael_Galt Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 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"
LordCrash Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 9/10 from MMORPG.com http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/1029/view/reviews/load/374/page/1
talharbash Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 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.
