Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Beyond Divinity mentioned in PC Gamer

I was thumbing through the latest edition of PC Gamer (the US version) at the newsstand and in their "Top 10 Games Games of 2004" acticle they had a sidebar where the editors listed the game they were most looking forward to (the ones they weren't being paid to hype <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />) and one of them listed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />!

It was only two sentences long, (definately not enough to warrant buying the magazine) but still it was pretty neat seeing a <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> fan at a big magazine.

Hehehehehe let's face it guys, .... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> has ..... FANS !!!!!

WOOOT <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Larian Studios is deffenately making their name know in the CRPG world.
Keep up the good work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, I did buy the magazine, and it says:

"Let me at Larian Studios' upcoming Divine Divinity sequel, Beyond Divinity (formerly called Riftrunner ). A 2D hack-and-slash RPG, this bad boy is set to pair a deep story with expansive gameplay for some rather "Divine" results."

the only reason I got divinity was because of the demo and review I got in PC gammer. I still have the demo and the magazine.

It is the same for me, i discovered the Divinity demo in a french PC games magazine called Gen4.
And I still have the demo and the magazine.
Everything as Lews.

Speaking of Kudo's,PC Gamer Holiday 2003 guide page 46. Eyewitness Report...
They are talking about the remake of A Bards Tale (can't wait for that BTW)
Anyhow,in the artical they talk about what a stellar year 2002 was for the RPG community.
" RPG's as a genre had a banner year in 2002, with Divine Divinity, Dungeon Siege, Morrowind, and Neverwinter Nights all introducing fresh ideas and fabulous gameplay."
Notice <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> was mentioned first! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
In case anybody else wants to know, they are talking a Q4/04 release date of A Bards Tale. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

I don't want that you would be disappointed but it looks like an alphabetical order. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
But i like this : [color:"yellow"]all introducing fresh ideas and fabulous gameplay[/color]

Well, PC Gamer calls every game "bad boy".
It's the golden rule of previewing:

Thou Shalt Praise Every Unreviewed game.

Have you ever seen a bad preview?

yes. once. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Awwww lews... We're here if you want to talk about it...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Aw shucks! Ya found me out! LOL! I can't get anything by you these days, can I Barta? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

GMR gave Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader a 4 out of 10.

Of course, I read that after I bought the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

And now... Black Isle Studios is closing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Yes ! Joystick a well known french magazine gave 3/10 to Divine Divinity <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

Hopefully, i had already got a demo of the game in Gen4 another french magazine, and i was not disappointed.

Not for Divinity. But I'm convinced it won't go as low as this one.

Gee zow! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />! Maybe we shouldn't buy that one! Thanks for the heads up Myrthos! A Larian game would never ever be that bad! The PIF would converge on them from all over the world and they would have to call in the riot police to disperse us! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> Could you just imagine everyone huddled in the new soundbooth? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

would it look something like this

I think it would look exactly like that Goldy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> I hope you don't think I was being serious! I was just using my sick imagination...

Hi Goldy
I am waiting for the release of Joystick.
If their preview about Beyond Divinity is bad, would you come to Paris ?

If I could go to Paris I would not wait for the review. That way I could to Joystick and warn them not to give <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> a bad review.
