We are anno 2012 and today NEW gamers discover that masterpiece that is Divine
, still, after TEN years of it's release !!!
Indeed, I actually deleted diablo 3 few days ago [I think I'm too old for this mindless grindfest with shallow "story"] and installed Divine Divinity instead:) I was trying to understand what made DD so special and in my opinion it was:
- Kiril Pokrovsky's music
- Large, interactive and relatively open world
- Mysterious and beautiful locations [dwarf capital, chapel, castle & more]
- Hidden tresures & items [
LOOT]!
- Memorable characters [damien's girlfriend who order you to find her teddybear
]
- Intelligent humour
- Isometric non-aging graphics
Someone can say that those are simple ideas, but those simple ideas were perfectly executed and I really can't understand why games like Dragon Age 2 get more recognition than Larian products [I guess it's just a matter of money & good PR].
