[Elman]

Divinity has a free Enhanced Edition coming in "Septemberish or Octoberish" if that helps. It's pretty good as it is, but I'd wait for the new additions.

This is growing on me I'll admit. Much better flow now than in the beginning.

 

[Blizzard]

Can this Day9 guy host the VGAs?

Sounds good to me!

 

[Uthred]

Pillars of Eternity expansion sounds good. Hopefully the plot doesnt turn to shit like the main games.

 

[chubigans]

The host is entertaining love this guy

He's great! This conference is chill and laid back, it's really nice.

Part 1?

They already announced that it would be split into two parts. It's supposed to be a very large expansion to the game.

Sure. So, with the Kickstarter we announced that we were going to do an expansion, and so how we're approaching that is to actually do the expansion in two parts, and have one part out sooner than the other part. The idea being that people are really enjoying Pillars right now and they're going to get finished their first or second playthrough within in the next two weeks, a month, something like that. And so, we definitely want there to be content for them to enjoy and I think we're going to be talking about that pretty soon. I don't think we've released anything specifically, but it really ends up being this concept of this story that expands parts of what you would see in those sort of old school expansions we made for Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate. So not just these three, four hour downloadable DLCs, but definitely big chunks of a story and a new hub to go to and things like that.

So that's kind of how we're really approaching it, like we've done with Eternity throughout is this idea of, these games kind of went away but not for a reason they should have. The industry shifted to so much console with this idea that PC wasn't so much of a gaming platform, which I know no one thinks that anymore. So, back then when you got an expansion you got this meaty thing with hours and hours of gameplay. And that's really what we're trying to do. So, while we're splitting it in two, it is like one continual story that people get to play.

Day9 being awesome as the host. As expected.

 

[kukubrew]

Highlander was a FANTASTIC move, don't make me come over there.

 

[Sendou]

Especially when you give an entire year of notice you are leaving.

Sometime I hate the gaming demographic.

The whole DayZ marketing was centered around one person: Dean Hall. He was the visionary behind the project. Of course it's disappointing when he leaves mid-development to release another Early Access game with a new company. Year's notice would be nice if it was coupled with a chance to get your money back.

I backed PoE and it's still in my backlog.

 

[Ricker]

Teaming with Paradox...

Bungie look at this

 

[Corpsepyre]

Had a rocky start, but this conference is delivering. Yes, it doesn't have the superduper budget of the big publishers like Sony and MS, but I like the more personal nature of the conference, and there have been some nice announcements as well.

 

[shandy706]

Heh, just realized I'm watching this on my X1 and not my gaming Rig (hooked to same TV).

..while posting on Gaf from my laptop. Heh

 

[Peterthumpa]

The host is really, really good. Great pace, jokes at the right times, knows about the subject, positively surprised.

 

[Agremont]

What was shit about the plot?

 

[Willectro]

50% of Twitch chat is <message deleted>.

 

[Dmented]

This is getting much better. Bit faster paced and more gameplay/reveals. Enjoying this a lot now.

 

[Corpekata]

Teaming with Paradox...

They already did. They signed with them like a year ago.

 

[Darkroronoa]

"Highlander is an underappreciated classic"

how i change vote? xD

 

[Xiraiya]

"part 1" oh oh

They went through this months ago, they're doing a major expansion where part 1 is the first smaller part, and Part 2 is supposedly the bigger, meatier part of the expansion.

 

[RyudBoy]

Has Blizzard been on yet?

There's no hope for a Warcraft 4 announcement, huh?

 

[epmode]

This could use more awkward moments. ASK ABOUT AVELLONE

 

[lednerg]

Day9 looks to be halfway through his note cards. He's been killing it.

 

[Vamphuntr]

What was shit about the plot?

It fell flat on its face after the riot event.

 

[LordDash]

This is growing on me I'll admit. Much better flow now than in the beginning.

Sean Plott is an excellent host, I don't mind him hosting every other gaming related conference. Witty and smooth.

 

[Sober]

No mention of Avellone. DO IT

 

[Elixist]

The host is entertaining love this guy

i believe he's a starcraft/blizzard e-sports guy.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

I backed PoE and it's still in my backlog.

Bump that shit up the list son. One of the better crpgs in years.

 

[speedpop]

Always love having Feargus Urquhart talk.

 

[XChainfireX]

I backed PoE and it's still in my backlog.

Play it. It's charming and has great writing.

and the other half is toxic trash. Better to turn the chat off.

 

[Laieon]

If there's ever a Warcraft 4, I would completely expect it to be the big Blizzcon announcement.

 

[Dimefan3]

http://www.twitch.tv/nerdcubed is probably the most entertaining version of this right now.

 

[shandy706]

The host is really, really good. Great pace, jokes at the right times, knows about the subject, positively surprised.

The host and guests aren't bad at all....the crowd sucks a fat one though.

Don't seem interested at all....is it all press right now?

 

[Blizzard]

I asked a friend and they said they'd report the fake Valve site internally at Google. Hopefully it stops being the top result.

I was kind of surprised that the actual real Valve websites (valvesoftware.com and steampowered.com) have privacy protection. Their whois entries are still U.S. though, in Florida.

 

[Majine]

I like this laidback format. A breath of fresh air after the super scripted production of everything else.

 

[Tenebrous]

I need that Paradox jacket. I always want one every time I see it.

 

[Chaos17]

Shenmue haters need to listen to Paradox!

 

[Agremont]

It fell flat on its face after the riot event.

Can't say I noticed.

 

[Elitro]

This is growing on me I'll admit. Much better flow now than in the beginning.

Absolutely, it helped they started to include either trailers or gameplay while talking about the game (i'm especially fond of this last method). Also the AMD ad at the beggining was a bit of a buzzkill (yes i know it had to be done).

 

[Stoze]

How confident and well-spoken are you on a scale from 1-Day9

 

[Ricker]

50% of Twitch chat is <message deleted>.

and the other Kappa lol...

 

[Wagram]

I love how the host laughs and then immediately stops and makes it temporarily awkward.

 

[Ifrit]

The host knows his stuff while being entertaining, so far so good

 

[Zoned]

day9 is my man. Him and Geoff at VGA would be sweet.
