It's pretty good. Don't bother interacting with the stupid kickstarter backer NPCs, but other than that the writing is excellent.

Better Pillars or the shadowrun series?

You're not autistic, just probably have no discipline and that's why you get so bothered by tiny nonsense.

I wish I could allow myself to play a human in this kind of game so I didn't have to end up editing one for my godlike myself

very bland
if you are used to older cRPG this game doesn't offer anything

Boring trite. Don't bother with this nu rpg.

I don't know if it's just me and my meh pc but the load times were one of the most annoying parts of the game.

I don't know why people rate a game by it's loading times.

>>381327741
Same reason why people rate a game by atrocious optimisation.

>>381327798
I don't understand that either.
>>
>>381327113
I prefer the setting but the game is dumb fuck mobile shit.
>>
>>381327798
That's not even the same. A game that runs at 20 fps can be nearly unplayable. Loading times takes 15 seconds aren't the end of the world.
>>
>>381327952
You might just be retarded then

It's a multifaceted product, it's not enough for just some parts of it to be good and others to be shit, especially ones that directly affect your experience, eg loading times and optimisation in general

>isometric game on Unity running worse than open world games
>not a issue
>>
>>381328104
Well what if they took 30 seconds? Or a minute? Judging a game (in a way) by it's loading time doesn't end at a single pillars of eternity example. Also poor optimisation is a bigger offender. Doesn't make long loading times good by being a worse offender, tho
>>
>game went from being 5 gb at launch to 15gb

>>381328329
Is unity just a really shitty engine or does it just happen to have a bunch of games that run poorly?
>>
Can a potato laptop run this?

It ran Skyrim on ultra
>>
>>381328184
>>381328116
But if you were so inclined to play the game, or the game is perfect you will play it no matter what.
I personally don't have problems with poor optimization, loading times, bugs, or anything like that; I've gamed for years on and old PC that was incapable of running San Andreas on High and I was happier while playing than I am now, with high end PC, loading times made me enjoy the content more, and bugs were either funny or exploitable, but never malicious.

How do you feel about loading screens?
>>
>>381328885
Oh, great, a weeb.
I'll be silent from now on.
>>
>>381328496
Not sure about its earlier iteration but the lastest Unity streams assets just fine. I think the issue is with Obsidian plopping their own fork within Unity so it can have that semi-dynamic 2D art. I dunno if people know this but PoE actually has dynamic shadows which is calculated on the fly which is hard as fuck to do in a complicated 2D image.

Thing is, Unity is so accessible that it's easy to make a fucked up product. It's like giving paper to everyone, you get dickbutt a lot but sometimes someone will release some top quality brown loli action.
>>
>>381328982
Good
>>
>>381328757

Their tech is pretty interesting.

It appears they atleast know that it was shitty and want to fix it in the sequel
>>
Is this better or worse than Tyranny?
>>
>>381328982
Welcome to 4chan newfriend
>>
>>381330441
Much better. Tyranny is on par (maybe slightly better)with Torment.
>>
>>381328743
>It ran Skyrim on ultra
Considering my laptop ran Pillars without any problems whatsoever but struggled with Oblivion, I think you'll be fine.
>>
>>381330441
Tyranny is a total disaster
>>
>>381325363
It's a fairly decent game but not good enough to lose your shit over
>>
>>381330441
Tyranny has a more exciting setting setting and a magic system that is interesting to mess around with but as far as the actual meat of the game, Pillars is a better experience.
>>
I didn't like it because of the absolutely hideous character models and shitty combat. I kinda enjoyed the story, but dropped it at some point anyways.
>>
>>381330441
Tyranny has fun characters and a plot that isn't just 'stop the bad guy' but Pillars has way more budget
>>
>>381330441
Combatwise, Tyranny isn't as deep but I enjoyed it a lot more because characters actually felt somewhat powerful in comparison to the festival of wet noodle slapping that is Pillars of Eternity.

And while Pillars has better writing, Tyranny has the more interesting story.
Both have equally unsatisfying endings.
>>
>neo-/v/ now praises Tyranny
I guess it's true that contrarians will praise anything just to appear as "expert" cRPG players
>>
>>381332295
Is it also true that people with no arguments will attach neo- and nu- to anything in order to try and discredit it?

>NOW praises Tyranny
The game is not even a year old you idiot. Did neo-/v/ begin last week to you?
>>
>>381325363
Considering even Obsidian have done little but shit all over it and promising to do better for the sequel, I'd say it was pretty fucking bad.

Desperate fanboys disagreeing with the devs themselves about the quality of the game is hilarious though, but when the writer admits they literally just went with the first draft of the story due to time constraints you know they fucked up.
>>
>>381332781
Found the retard. Get better tastes in games, sorry if you started with a mediocre one like Tyranny.
>>
>>381326248
he's got a point though, we have this thread daily.

>>
>>381332946
this, I remember when the game came out and people criticized it and everyone was "lol go back to COD! Biodrone!" and other memes but then even the devs acknowledged those criticisms as real
>>
>>381327113
you can beat Dragonfall in eight hours. So why not both?
>>
>>381333109
>lol dude Tyranny was awesome!! best game ever!
>>
>>381325363

Combat is really lame and it's 70% of the game. The remaining 30% are a 6/10 story and cringy fanfiction backstories.

have a look at underrail, its one of the best crpg's i've played in a long time.
>>
>>381333678
Its also not really comparable to typical CRPG's

Underrail is very fun and very good but its also not that story focused and youre not really given that many roleplaying options. Its a crpg carried by its combat rather than its narrative which is pretty crazy honestly
