	Yet Other Thread of Have You Tried This Game? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I was just at a store, I forgot which one it was... Game Stop I think and I spotted this game Divine Divinity and it certainly looks interesting. Have anybody given this one a try yet?

It's pretty good. They should fire whoever named the game though.

Diablo was OK, it got pretty boring pretty fast. I don't know why, normally I would like a game like that, but for some reason, it just sucked.

	Put an end to popups!

Haven't tried Diablo yet because I didn't have a computer when it came out. Now it seems too old to buy - I have a limited free time so I have to be very selective.

Anyway looked up reviews for the Divine game and those were mixed but more on the positive side. One concern for me - some reviewers mentioned crashing problem with Window XP and crashing is a such turn off for me.

CGW game the game a pretty good review. But I do believe it is Diablo like. Diablo is pretty old, but Diablo2 is still fairly recent if you want to check it out. And D2 is still a good multiplayer game to play- multiplayer is free and fairly secure on battle.net.

It may be worth it, but I'm wary. they gave dungeon seige good reviews, but I wasn't impressed with it. Dungeon seige had unlimited arrows, and the game seemed geared towards teenagers or something. I don't like kid games . I didn't like things like unlimited arrows. Even Diablo had a limited number of arrows you could carry (although if you wanted to you could fill up your entire backpack with arrows)

Yeah I thought about getting Diablo 2 and the expansion.

Dungeon Seige looked cool but yeah I've heard some bad things about it.

Divine Divinity is a Diablo clone with more emphasis on quests involving people. Lots more interaction with people and quests which are acheived through peaceful means.

I rate it over the Diablos for that reason. Its a little more cerebral and less frenetic than the Diablos. You're exploring as the story unfolds, not just bashing monsters to gain levels and loot.

and they are making a sequal to it.

The game may be worth checking out if you find it in a bargain bin. I haven't seen it in a bargain bin though. I'll probably pick it up if I do.

Game Stop had it but not in a bargain bin.

Last night I downloaded the demo - it took 5 hours?!

This morning I set it up and played. I start at around 9am and when I finally looked up to check the time, it was 1:30pm.

So you can guess, I enjoyed the game. There are flaws but nevertheless I had fun.

Diablos 2's just hack and slash without a storyline?

Divine Divinity (I really hate that title ha) remind me a lot of a shareware game I used to play - Exile. I believe that's the correct title anyway. IIRC it's for MacIntosh only. There was a similar version in which you could choose to play Romans or Celts in a fantasy world setting. Anybody know its title? And whether if there's a PC version?

Very crude by today's standards (it's a shareware after all!) but extremely fun.

Eureka! It just came to me! Nethergate.

There's a PC version indeed. You can find it here: http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/products.html

Exile games in there too.


Have anybody played those?

I was just about to go out the door to the mall and possibility buying the game then I realized, nobody answered me whether if they had a difficult time running the game on windows XP. According to reviewers, that was an issue - the game often crashed running on Windows XP.

Looks cool to me. Hopefully they fixed some issues from the first game.

Exile is alright, but I like its update, Avernum, better. It's simply much easier to play.

In fact, the entire series was updated. Truly, an epic role-playing trilogy. I'll never forget when I first assasinated the Emperor... Hawthorne, I think his name was.

Easier to play as in better interface or ? I certainly hope it doesnt mean the game has been 'dumbed'

It went 3d (or so I heard) wherein I lost interest.

It wasn't dumbed, and the 3D only affected the look of the game, not how it was played.

When they made Avernum they also included a bit more depth, and rebalanced the gameplay a bit (I think). I recommend checking out the demo.

It's hardly 3D. It's still extremely oldschool. For my money, Avernum 1-3 are much easier to play (and fun) than Exile 1-3. If you're looking for some simple RPG fun with an intriguing story, check out the Avernums.
