>“Obsidian did a great job of capitalising on the timing of Kickstarter and the wave of nostalgia for these type of titles,” goes his hypothesis. “We've seen that most of the titles after Pillars of Eternity, if you look at Wasteland, Torment - they haven't been anywhere near that kind of success. So maybe it's that a lot of nostalgia fed into the initial bubble and that's why. These games have a market, but it's never gonna be that peak [again].”
>Wester shoulders the responsibility for Tyranny’s marketing, which ran with the slogan: 'Sometimes, evil wins.' It was an approach that wisely brought Tyranny’s twist on RPG morality to the fore - but didn’t touch so much on its singular world and cast.
UH OH, DIVINITY 2 PROVES THAT WRONG
Wow it's like Obsidiots don't want to admit that Obsidian creates generally unlikable and unsellable games
>B-BUT POE SOLD!
Only because of Baldur's Gate nostalgia
Dominic Davis
i've never heard of tyranny but divinity 2 has been inescapable. seems like a marketing problem
Lucas Kelly
How many more times are you going to post this. Did someone at Obsidian kill your dog or something?
Oliver Brooks
Yeah desu I'm not an obsidian fan but it's really obvious that it's the same guy making these threads over and over and its just kinda sad at this point
Hudson Carter
any news for the console release?
Wyatt Kelly
>Obsidiots this triggered and pretending to not be fans
hehehe I'm not a trump fan I just voted for him
Nathan Morris
>Obsidian >making good games Pick one
Grayson Scott
I'm not, I think new vegas is overblown as fuck and think its annoying there's a shitton of threads about it, but you've brought the autism all the way around.
Wyatt Ross
Are you expecting anything less from a man who can't let grudges go?
Michael Reed

Ryder Davis
The only Obsidian game ive liked is Fallout NV but thats mostly due to it being much better then Bethesda and their retarded idea of "FUCK IT MAKING RPGS IS TOO HARD. LETS JUST CUT ALL THE RPG ELEMENTS AND JUST MAKE IT A SUB PAR SHOOTER WITH BASE BUILDING. THOSE RETARDED COMSUMERS LIKE THAT TYPE OF SHIT RIGHT?"
Lincoln Moore
Obsidian has been dead for years. This is just their dead corpse trying to imitate the quality they use to have
Zachary Reed
Neither game had marketing though. D:OS2 gets talked about because it's really good. Tyranny's problem is that it is really mediocre.
Nicholas Williams
I played Tyranny and first D:OS, and I prefer D:OS tyranny felt bad, I wanted to be bad guy and all I did was unblocking ancient towers and getting legendary artifacts to increase my "power"
Leo Morris
tyranny? more like TRANNY HAWHAWHAW
Carter Sullivan
Yeah - where's all this DOS2 marketing?
Tyranny literally had Paradox (a publisher) backing it.
Jackson Brooks
>Larianiggers will defend this
Lincoln Torres
oh it's this thread again I see you made a new pic
Parker Myers
Larian shilled the game heavily with streamers and reviewers. Just because you didn't see huge adds on billboards doesn't mean they didn't market the shit out of their game.
Xavier Butler
Thank god Divinity 2 has romances and sex - I couldn't stand another sexless game for virgin nerds who hate women.
tl;dr: Because he sucks at getting women in real life, he wants his characters to be as big of losers as he is (if he isn't a big fag like Tim Cain)
Isaiah King
>Larian shilled the game heavily with streamers and reviewers.
Those all sound like things Obsidian could have done with Tyranny.
Levi Powell
Yea we know how that works
>thing is popular because it's really good
Yeap, that's what you see in every medium. And DOS 2 did have marketing.
Leo Lopez
Neither are very good. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, they're both bad in similar ways.
Larian just has more marketing and obnoxiously loud fans.
Eli Reed
>And DOS 2 did have marketing.
Where?
Jason Roberts
Hahaha, oh nu-Sup Forums
Dylan Jones
That doesn't make any sense. People who wants romance in-game are usually the virgins. They can't get one irl so they have to get a virtual one. Pathetic desu.
Hudson Flores
>Guy who virtue signals about how he doesn't find women attractive because he's a feminist >Not a total virgin like MovieBob
Yeah okay.
Joseph Hall
>Larian just has more
WHAT MARKETING
Nathan Flores
I really fucking hate the romance in Div OS 2. Like I do nothing special towards any of my companions but romance options keep popping up. They were shoving Ifan's dick down my throat. You usually don't get that many responses or dialogue with your companion so it's pretty jarring when [DO YOU WANT GAY SEX] option appears. On top of that the dialogue for them is so fucking bad. Companions in general are shit this game. They feel very distant and there's hardly any banter.
Xavier Clark
>Larian just has more marketing
WHAT MARKETING
Jaxson Flores
Clearly Ifan was seduced by your strong leadership and combat prowess.
Thomas Evans
>He didn't pirate both games
Brody Price
>More people have played NWN sex mods than Tyranny
HAHHAHAHA
Owen Gray
>Implying I would've had buyers remorse if I bought OS 2 though. It's so buggy and the armor system plus general combat leaves much to be desired. Doesn't help that Act 2 feels like a fucking slog and Act 3/4 are just pretty bad. Especially Act 4.
Hunter Evans
Pretty sure it has a system in place that detected you are a huge faggot.
Brayden Scott
I pirated Tyranny and really liked it but couldn't get through it because too much shit to remember.
Zachary Murphy
Divinity has had zero marketing. You think a man who had to take out several loans and remortgage his house can afford to pay for ads? Everything on OS2 has been word of mouth. Swen was so poor he couldn't even give reviewers pre-release copies.
Parker Green
>That doesn't make any sense
This is Sup Forums, it's full of delusion.
Tyler Adams
what level of autism is this
Adam Gutierrez
*boops everyone in this thread*
Jace Brown
*Cucks an Obsidiots GF*
Oh wait they don't have one
Jonathan Hill
My friend and I just reached act 4, how long is it? Also, the act 3 finale was pretty amazing.
Gabriel Barnes
Damnit, I read this in the narrator's voice.
Ian Nguyen
>years later he's still going at it
Ian Allen
Kill yourself, OP. You mentally ill freak.
Gavin Baker
were did you see diviniy advertisement? nowhere
Daniel Myers
Divinity 2 and Divinity Original Sin 2 are different games
Divinity 2 is fun and I want a sequel, perfect console RPG
James Cook
They may as well be the same game, autist.
Christian Cox
Tyranny was fucking shit, it's good that it didn't sell
>We'll let you play as the true Villain and pick from a variety of evil and even greater evil choices >Now pick between Blue and Red >DUDE KILL EVERYONE IF U AREN'T HAPPY AND MISS 90% OF THE STORY
Charles James
Action RPG = CRPG
Nice one tard
Adrian King
They need to brand their games better
Julian Lopez
I remember when Obsidiots defended this nonsense - when "being evil" was literally part of the games marketing.
Benjamin Peterson
JUST
Mason Perez
>>B-BUT POE SOLD! > >Only because of Baldur's Gate nostalgia Then how do you explain Deadfire's roaring success?
Luke Russell
That's Sup Forums people come here to shitpost and vent. None of this shit is serious. Relax guy.
