I would make a review thread but it seems like reviewers just started playing, so there aren’t many yet.

Hardly any mention of this from Apple or their associated media, despite the fact that an AAA game launching a Mac port on day 1 is virtually unheard-of in 2023.
outside of Apple arcade, I don’t think Apple cares one iota about gaming. As evidenced by your observation. It’s a huge market to miss, but they don’t really seem to care. All they keep doing is adding old mobile remakes of games everyone has played before to their Arcade subscription nobody would ever pay for if it wasn’t bundled into Apple one…
They’ve been investing way more in gaming lately, but I imagine their long-term plan involves setting up Apple Arcade as a premium brand for high-end titles in a way that might be undermined by promoting their “competition” now. Like if Apple promoted a lot of shows that were available on iTunes shortly before launching Apple TV+. No idea, though, I’m just wildly speculating.
I don’t know, they are focusing a ton right now on re-releasing REALLY old mobile games, just with a plus symbol added to the name. That’s polar opposite from premium high end titles. If they do want to go that direction they need to change course immediately!
Announce to what gaming audience?
Because it only launches today on PC to not compete with starfield. Other platforms are the original release date
Unless it’s shipped to the App Store and not just Steam, they wouldn’t market it anyway. I don’t believe they publicise third-party marketplaces / appstores (which Steam arguable is).
Except it’s not available on Mac on day one. Larian hasn’t even announced when it will be aside from “at a later date.”
Update: Apparently, the Steam Discussions page has a post that lists it as September 5.
Only 10 more hours until it is downloaded 😍
2.5h left for me! CMON GO FASTER I NEED MORE INTERNETS
One for me! I’m averaging 25-30Mbps. Took the day off of work for this lol
Took the day off of work for this lol
Bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for 'em.
For me it downloaded within 40 minutes with swings between 300-170mb/s
Try doing a half day next time. That way it’s downloading while you’re at work and you still get to play for hours
I slept in till 11 so it was worth lol. 35% left to go!
I just love everything about this whole thing.
I love the game itself, what an incredible feat.
I love how almost naively passionate and nerdy the folks at Larian are.
I love how aside from a few AAA game developers trying to tell everyone that this masterpiece shouldn’t set the new standard for RPGs (LOL) Everyone else just seems so happy these maniacs have actually pulled it off.
I love the freedom this game offers. So many permutations, over 170 hrs of cinematics, most of which the average player will never see. All so that the world can feel almost as limitless as the tabletop D&D. There were no shortcuts to this goal. I’m sure the tech is great, but fundamentally, this wasn’t about clever technology, which can only do so much. It was about the herculean effort of 400+ people making content for over 6 years in some of the most indulgent over-engineering I’ve ever seen in a AAA title.
They could have rolled out the EA Act I a few years ago and it still would have been better than most RPGs out there. Instead, we get an Act I with 33% more content and 2 entirely new acts.
Got two kids under 4 and a demanding job so no idea when I’ll get to play even. But I’m just so happy something like this has happened in this shitty, cynical industry.
For the first time in years I lost track of time while playing a game. It was 6:15 in the morning when I thought about actually getting some sleep. Kids woke up shortly after that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Damn. That puts me off it rather than wanting to buy it. The kids and Mrs would have no mercy if I get that engrossed.
Look, the only thing I can say is that I have no regrets :). What I plan on doing is just waking up an hour or so earlier and having some game time in the morning.
Does the game have good controller support? Steam Deck is the only way to get gaming done with the kids around.
I have no idea what this is but after looking around I bought it. it looks amazing
Instant buy. I would buy it due to them making divinity original sin 2 with zero idea about this game. So fucking excited to play it.
Unfortunately, I really really really want to play this with a friend of mine so I gotta find until he has a good slot.
I’ve decided to wait for the PS5 version, but will definitely get it then. Thankfully, I still have FF to finish.
How is it if I want to try and keep my party minimal? It looks fun but I know I didn’t like having a lot of characters in dungeon siege
It’s very much balanced around having a party of 4 characters. But the game itself is incredibly open ended. You could probably make fewer characters work but the game would be harder.
So there is no equivalent of the Lone Wolf talent from DoS2?
As far as I’m aware, there is not.
I am a bit sad about that lesser degree of freedom, since I prefer smaller parties. Especially during the first playthrough I don´t want to have to learn 4 different classes in parallel :(
