Stop telling everyone how good it is, you will only make yourself look foolish when you realise it's nothing like Divine Divinity.


On the same note - has it occurred to you that some people might be playing and enjoying the game? That some people with a different oppinion than you might be posting here? So stop telling everyone how bad it is, I say <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


- Telemachos

PS. I've never bothered to return a game in my entire life - no matter how bad or buggy it was. Is that something you do often where you come from?


Well In the flame wars amongst DoritofDeath and others I've noticed more than one poster claiming how great it was but admitting to having only played the demo, whilst also claiming the demo is unrepresentative of the game. If someone has played the full game and enjoyed it well kudos to them, but based on it's release schedule many outside of Germany haven't yet played the full thing. However my opinion is that the game has serious flaws and I'm not afraid of telling someone. There are many older RPGS and they compare very favourably to BD since BDs graphics and system requirements make it look 5 years old anyway. If someone has never played Planescape Torment, Fallout, Baldurs Gate, or even Divine Divinity I'd recommend they play them all first. I'm only playing BD because I have played all those earlier games and I need something new.


As for for returning games, several retailers offer satisfaction guaranteed claims, and on several occasions I've gone in and said 'This game is crap, can I have a refund' Why buy and keep something that is rubbish. Would you keep a Stereo HiFI that has crackly sound. I haven't got that kind of money to throw away. Let's see, Hostile Waters went back, Some Diablo2 clone whose name I forget went back, plus a few more that were so bug ridden they were unplayable. Haven't you heard... The Customer Is Always Right. As I've gotten older I've become more fussy in my games, perhaps since I can compare them to older games I enjoyed and fully expect something built for a better spec system to be a better game.
