I need to learn that going back and playing some games years after fact is making me notice that time isn't nice to a lot of games. My PS2 led me to believe that then I went back and played old 360/PC games and that was just.........disappointing.
Divinity 2 has got to be one of the worse things I've experienced this year and it is painful. Graphics aged worse than Persona 2 for all I could tell, that voice acting was fucking awful and the gameplay doesn't lend itself well to anything but mashing and potion whoring. Which is weird considering the amount of content you get per game area but there is really only three areas and it is just fetch quest to the extreme.
The game can be broken down into, the easiest way, bother every npc you can for a quest. Run out and mash x kill everything in fifty mile radius and jack their shit. Run back mash quest turn ins, move plot, rinse repeat till you lose your god damn mind. Not that you can just play the story because levels are static and the game scales damage accordingly so if you are 2-3 levels below something you hit for maybe 2-5% damage and get smacked for 30-50%. Not that the plot really matters at all, the way the game ends makes it so that whatever you did is absolutely pointless and didn't mean a damn thing.
Add onto that there is really no reason to ever be good during any point of the game. Being nice just costs you money and time going out of your way even more to do shit where you can just fuck everyone and their mother and be rewarded more for your actions money/exp and just real life time better spent doing other things. The worst you get for being an asshole is an annoying voice that says that wasn't nice of you and that's it. Lady if not being nice just has a useless bitch say I'm a meanie then by all means I'll murder every mother fucker I meet because there are no characters in the game that have personality or make you care in the least.
The only good, well good by standards of everything else being utter crap is becoming a dragon and flying around burning things. Which becomes a nice novelty because you can't kill ground forces as a dragon and every dragon mission is the same boring thing with more enemies/towers thrown at you as supposed challenge, it really just becomes an exercise in am I done burning immobile targets yet.
I could rant on and on but I've more than made a case of why I regret this game like I haven't regretted a purchase in awhile. Ignoring all the glitches, little direction, Divinity thinking it's a platformer with it's broke ass physics, but I'm done. I'm happy to say fuck Divinity 2 and everything about it and I'll never play it again and that makes me the happiest out of the entire experience.
