First of all, your opinion remains only your opinion; I felt "games that cater to the German market" like Drakensang, MUCH much better than "games that cater to the American market" like NWN 2 or Oblivion. In fact, I feel Drakensang is the best RPG to come out since The Witcher, which also happened to be a European game. And that one was the best one since Gothic II, which also happened to be a European game.
I don't even know how to reply to that. Saying that Drakensang was better than NWN2... does it mean that good writing and, you know,
freedom of action , mean nothing to you in a rpg? NWN2 has really a lot of faults. Yet, it was a million times better than Drakensang. Drakensang's characters are extremely one-dimensional, and you can't interact with them. Your own character in that game has no big and varied level advancement, as compared to all the classes and multiclasses of NWN2. More importantly, you character in that game has
no personality whatsoever and you can't decide how he/she will interact with the world.
And you say Drakensang is better than NWN2. It's just... I don't know... it's.... it's like saying the the moon is made of cheese and claiming that I can't prove the countrary....
Gothic 2: meh.
The Witcher: I really disliked it. But, to its defense, I'll say that it's a wellcrafted videogame: I can't say it's a bad game (like I can freely say about Drakensang); I can only say it really didn't suit my tastes.
Lun-Sei Sleidee , you're not "worrying that the game might disappoint you."
In your anger, you already decided to be disappointed. And regardless how good the game is, with that mentality, it'll suck for you.
Who knows, it could well be.... I hope so anyway.
I would suggest you to inform yourself a bit better, especially on when reviews happen.
Last that I checked, reviews have the odd habit of not appearing months before a game is released. Also, your claim is false, as there is already some buzz about the game on several english speaking websites.
If you confuse hype with quality, nobody can help you.
I'm not saying Divinity 2 is perfect (I dislike several things myself). But even the international market - which routinely rates german games BETTER than the german press does - has so far looked with a favorable eye on the game. That is saying something.
But, why is all that delay happening? Why do I get the feel it's because they don't plan for the game to sell much copies in other countries?
Maybe I'm just speculating. Maybe I'd need the word of people (not reviewers) who actually played the game and can tell with good reason if it's good or not.
