Bugs and frustration abound in Divinity II.... 2010-01-25T20:55:44+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=14233 Jim Rossignol has kicked up some thoughts on the early part of Divinity II at Rock, Paper, Shotgun but it seems he's about to give up: This is where things start to trundle downhill. I’d already managed to swallow the laggy menus and stuttery performance – hey, that’s how it is on my PC, I’m sure it’s smoother on other PCs, with other builds – and to focus on the characters and questing.... 2010-01-20T21:39:59+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=14230 Action Trip's Ure 'Vader' Paul posts his review of Larian Studios' Divinity II and scores it above average at 6.8/10. He played the XBox 360 version and spends some time talking about its flaws, plus he's also less than thrilled with the way the dragon transformation ability worked out in the game: Combining flying, shooting and classic RPG gameplay was a nice idea.... 2010-01-20T16:11:36+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=14228 There is a new trailer for Divinity 2. This one introduces the Necromancer and shows off how you can make your own monster. There is one odd part to this video. It shows the PC summoning a ghost. You don't need the Necromancer to do that. You can v... 2010-01-20T10:14:02+01:00 http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?rwsiteid=4&newsbit=14209 IGN has reviews for both the PC and X360 versions of Divinity II.  The PC review is the main one, with Charles Onyett keeping the main text and adding a different summary for the X360 version.

You begin this third-person role-playing game as a newly recruited dragon slayer, eager to join a bloodthirsty party tracking down a fearsome lizard.... 2010-01-09T21:44:50+01:00
