It's a $20.00 game.
I am greatly enjoying this game. But IMO it isn't worth anymore than $19.99. ( Again, let me say IMO).
I know people are going to get all bent out of shape but reaslistically, the play value just isn't there to warrant such a high price.
Graphics 6/10
Meh. Oh, graphics don't matter, it's about the story? Yea, I've heard that before but I don't see too many people talking about Zork so yea, graphics are important.
( Don't get me wrong, I fully understood what I was buying and I'm not saying they are terrible but they are just...meh.)
Story 7/10
The story is good. Not "oh my God I can't believe this" good but good nontheless.
Balance 6/10
Now I have a pretty big party and I'm playing on normal and truthfully I haven't really run into much that I haven't been able to beat. Sometimes I don't even need to heal the whole time I'm playing. Yea, yea, yea. "Go play on hard or Ironman or whatever". But why should I have to? It should be balanced enough that the game takes into consideration the size and experience of my party and react accordingly. I should NOT be too over powered or too under powered at any given time UNLESS I so choose that option.
Replay Value 2/10
I will not even consider replaying this game after I complete it. Maybe if there are mods or another chapter to the story but start all over with a different party or different difficulty? Nah.
I Would rather pick up one of the enhanced edditions of the old school games that replay this one. ( NOT to say I hate this game ) Shees. I'm tired of having to keep saying that. I don't want all the fanboys yelling in my ears.

Overall I give Pillars of Eternity a Solid 5
and for the record POE is Path of Exile.....not Pillars of Eternity

Let the complaints begin!

You think people are going to answer an obvious troll post?

So are you posting your review here because you don't know about the section for reviews, or because you think you're special?

It is pitch dark. You're likely to be eaten by a grue.

You know what's $20.00 game?

The Order 1886

Start the game in the morning, finish it by dawn. Hence their company name Ready at Dawn.

Of course the ps4 peasants ate that up like it's the coming of messiah with that "OMFG BEST GRAPHIC INTERACTIVE MOVIE EVAH!" reaction.

Don't do that.

There are plenty of reasons why people have their profiles set to private, and appear level 0.


Hint: many are not, although they probably don't farm cards like you do.

That's a very subjective opinion.
Personally, looking back at all the AAA titles released these last years (often more than 70$... followed by dlcs) I am not sure what makes a game worth full price. Because those definitely weren't. Yet no one moved such complaints towards them. Mmh. Looks like what set a game's price is production value and marketing rather than actual content or quality. Making it more an illusory perception of the gullible consumers than anything else.
Sorry but no, I refuse that. If there is a game worth full price, that's Pillars of Eternity.
It's a rare masterpiece nearly under all aspects. And, without questions, offers far more value for your money than anything else vaguely similar released recently.
Why no one said anything about Inquisition costing so much? That game has little content, poorly made too, and is an all-around terrible game. In fact I can't remember a single AAA being this great, 2015 or 2014.

Because they are VAC banned? Or want to hide common information with the intent of lieing about them? Otherwise there is very little reason.

OP, you dont get to decide the price of games.
garmie Mar 29, 2015 @ 7:30pm
