Well, it sold well .... for an indian game. It is considered one of the best cRPGs of ... modern years, because there is really nothing for the past 10 years.
And those 2 arguments are too fallacious. I am yet to understand all the buzz about DOS2, except it came out from a very sterile era.
There were tons of good CRPGs that came out in this new renaissance era of CRPGs.
Wasteland 2 Torment Tides of Numenera Shadowrun Returns Shadowrun Dragonfall Shadowrun Hong Kong Pillars of Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2 Tyranny Masquerada Pathfinder Kingmaker Divinity Original Sin Divinity Original Sin 2
To the best of my knowledge, DOS2 sold the best out of all of those. By a wide margin, even.
Thanks for pointing out this list of of very unimpressive games. It was a terrible decade indeed.
CDPR is currently the only studio that understands how immersion is central to a RPG. They really mastered the technique.
And don't understand the hate for Obsidian. New Vegas is close to a masterpiece. PoE was designed as a throwback to IE games, not exactly an original game. Now that they have budget and ?time I want to see their full potential. Curious how Avowed will turn to be.
