The funny thing is; this guy is not only confusing game quality with game sales, but also is he confusing Divinity 2 with a mediocre game the likes of Loki. If you decide not to buy a game because you think it won't be a blockbuster... Fine. But then don't run your mouth about the game quality or the marketing strategy, because, quite frankly, you're ignorant of those things, and it has no bearing on your choice of purchase.
You tell ME about not buying a game because it's not a blockbuster???? I'll have you know that I once bought the PS3 game "Lair" at its full price. Yes, even after everyone gave extremely negative reviews of it! :P
Heck, now I'll tell my most hidden secret and reveal that I also bought "The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon". A game for kids.
So, no, it's not the popularity, or the reviews. I don't care about wether it's a blockbuster or a game nobody knows.
What I care about, however, is the quality, and I somehow am worried that Divinity 2 may be another case of Loki, Drakensang, Gothic 3 (which I never played however), etc., which were all pretty mediocre games. I make the association because Divinity 2 has these points in common with all those somehow less-than-average products:
1) It was first released for the german market, and it was publicized only for the german market, and the only good reviews it got (so far) come from the german market;
2) no important magazine ever mentions this game;
3) it's not a big budget title (as I said, I'm not implying this necessarily means it doesn't have to be a good game).
So I kind of make this association, see, and worry that Divinity 2 may really disappoint me.... like it was with those other games.
