they were just offering a second viewpoint given that yours was the only one present below their comment at the time 😅

it's a turn based old school rpg. of course it isn't for everyone...

if you like any turn based old school rpgs there's a good chance this is worth a shot.

It's a highly frustrating game with annoying mechanics

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

this game series wasn't for me

Obviously.

So, my opinion is invalid, but yours is okay?

Please read your first comment again. You didn't present it as your personal opinion, but as if the game was objectively bad, which is what I have contradicted.

I also wrote in my last comment.

If you don´t like it that´s fine but don´t present your individual opinion as being objective.

So I obviously did not declare your opinion invalid as you can see.

You, however, are using biased sampling

No, I am not. The ratings I linked are based on the ratings of everyone who played the game, not just people who played the game and liked it. It´s just that the vast majority of people who played the game liked it, so the ratings are impressively good. What do you even mean with that critique? The only people who can rate the game are the people who actually played it, right? So no, I do not see a flaw there.

What about people who don’t like what you like? They’re not spending $50 on a game they don’t like.

How would they even know they don´t like the game without buying and playing it? Besides that, I generally recommend buying games on sale and also to make use of the refund function of steam if you do not enjoy a game.

I tried DOS (1 & 2) because of the reviews and my live for games like Baldur’s Gate and Pillars. But this game series wasn’t for me and I’m allowed to say so.

I agree, and again quote what I wrote earlier

If you don´t like it that´s fine but don´t present your individual opinion as being objective.

and like everyone else who felt that way, you were free to leave a negative review that impacts the games overall rating, which I assume you did.

I hope it is clear now that I at no point intended to invalidate your opinion, which I do in fact respect. So let us stop this nerd battle, my fellow rpg connoisseur, shall we?

it used to be that certain status effects (from abilities) are not applied if the ability is blocked by physical/magic armour. There was a perk to enable status effects to work even in that condition.

Yes, that is also what I remember.

The new update made it so that status effects will be applied even on having armour

What? Why would they do that, doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Sorry to hear it.

Containers, when thrown using telekinesis, do damage that scales with their weight. By nesting multiple heavy containers inside the top container, you can do hellish amounts of damage pretty quickly. For extra ease, use the golden chest that appears very early in the game, since it's indestructible. It breaks virtually every fight in the game. Also, you have to lug a chest that weighs as much as a neutron star around with you.
