I just started Divinity OS:EE. Should I skip it and go to Divinity 2?
The release sales aren't that great according to Steam stats. 70k copies sold in the first few days. Most people bought it during early access
That's 70k simultaneous players on Steam, not sales. It's a number that any developer would be thrilled with.
That's not how Steamspy works. To get reliable data for 14/09, you need to wait 3 days, so the result for 17/09 will be interesting. Wouldn't be surprised if it rises another 30K, making for an estimate of 100K sales on launch day, combined with the 230K before. Even if we reduce the backers from these numbers, that would still make for 300K sales at full price. And that's just up until day one. This will easily make money for two new Divinity games.The release sales aren't that great according to Steam stats. 70k copies sold in the first few days. Most people bought it during early access
No, sales. Game had 230k owners on Steam before release date.
People saw third-person mouse-controlled real-time combat and never looked beyond.Funny thing is, even good ol' Divine Divinity was already far from the Diablo clone it was often derided as back then. (Because it looks like it at first glance I guess?)
It already had all the Ultima7-esque world interactivity for instance.
Does this game have co-op like the first one? The GF and i had a blast couch co-oping the first one. We even had a drinking game when we played a weekend once. Drink everytime you hear the cheese guy yell: "No one has as many friends as the man with many cheeses!". We ended up quite drunk despite trying to avoid him lol.

Divine Divinity had auto-attack, something Blizzard actively avoided.
I think the game is going to be a big success, word of mouth is already stellar and I'm expecting great reviews. But more than anything, I can't think of any other game that offers what this game does right now.
You don't have to play D:OSEE to 'understand' D:OS2.
Divnity 1 is a pretty good RPG too, but they aren't connected by story at all save some minor lore nods.
Didn't play the first I feel like I have missed out on some of the finer details people in the world more or less assume you already know the world, apart from that the story is self contained.
Absolutely not, DOS is fucking incredible. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a nonce.
No you shouldn't skip it, the first is a brilliant game. Take your time and get 2 later.
You should do the same as the rest of us. Pick one, get to Ft Joy and rinse/repeat!Excellent game, even If Im spending more time in the boat at the start of it because I'm paralyzed by class decisions
Larian have always been doing fine work. Glad they're finally getting the recognition they deserve. (Also glad they're still around because damn...)
No, sales. Game had 230k owners on Steam before release date.
Really want to give this game a shot, just wondering do I have to be familiar with the story of the first Divinity or can I jump in blind?
Why is Divinity 1 still full price?
I really hope it does, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to play this game on my notebook.Awesome love the first - and good sales means good odds for the sequel to arrive on consoles
It's been on sale for $12-15 before (depending on the platform).Because of the free Enhanced Edition [complete revamp, new content, full VO, new ending, new modes explorer/classic/tactician, full controller support etc.] for the owners.
Peak concurrent players is at 75k, which is 3 times higher than the original game and ten times higher than the EE.
I'm sure Larian is quite pleased.
Edit for context:
That number puts it at the highest of any crpg, with next highest being Pillars of Eternity at 41k to concurrent.
Once you fall in love with it, you will be even more impressed how the second one improves on it in every respect.I just started Divinity OS:EE. Should I skip it and go to Divinity 2?
