So, only games marked as "AAA" can be praised and set to a pedestal? Lol, so silly and lame USA logic: "Oh, wait, lemme check the jewelbox! What? F*ck, no AAA mark? You gotta be kiddin' me, it's a trash, low level product!! GTFO!!11"

Darwinia has no AAA mark.
World of Goo has no AAA mark.
Aquaria ha no AAA mark.

But the games is well-known and awesome, they got the highest scores in reviews.

I hope I didn't ruin your little perfect imagination of gameworld.


You kill me, and there is that "across the pond" reference again. U.S., Russsia, Belgium, France, Australia...who gives a sh1t? Really!

He stated an opinion, not that the frickin box is marked as such! My copy isn't. If some publisher has put it on the box, it is simply an advertisement, quoted from a reviewer...oh my god, another opinion. I never played the games you mentioned, but they might be very good, as you say...oh my god, yet another opinion!

You stir crap up here more than anyone with mitigated facts, such as the size of the Dev team arguments, with nothing to back them up. Larian's home page states that there are ~41 people on the core team. Probably have subbed for more of the work, but Bioware has roughly 300 at their Canadian studio alone.

People are saying what a great job Larian did with their relatively small (compared to Bioware) team. You act as they are comparing apples to apples, when it's more like apples to grapes. I haven't played D2 yet except for a tiny bit of the demo, and from what I can tell, the games are nothing alike, except for a dark, fantasy setting.

I think Dragon Age is a AAA masterpiece as well. I hope Divinity 2 turns out to be one when I get a chance to play it too. No matter the size of the dev team (although that would make the effort much more impressive), the style of the game play, or which side of the frickin ocean I live on. Lenin and Stalin died decades ago, get over it man!

Is reality just a fantasy?
