I'm sorry if you guys misunderstand my question. I meant.

If both Divinity and Witcher 3 is available for purchase right this second. and you have neither of them. Which one would you choose?

I just read Last Wish and Blood of the Elves so I'm pumped for some witcher action

Hey SteamGAf quick question.

If you can choose one of these games to be yours right now. What would you pick? Divinity Original Sin or The Witcher 3?

Like if both were available right at this moment. what would you choose

I would choose Bad Rats.

Actually, I would choose Sakura Spirit.

Divinity as I haven't finished Witcher 1 or 2 yet. Got put off by the combat in the first game and Divinity sounds more my thing.

there is no IF, both Witcher 3 and Divinity ARE available for purchase right now

Divinity for me then. I'm afraid I haven't actually finished Witcher 1, much less started 2. I keep meaning to, but then so many other games pop up and I want to play them.

I could do that right now, but Pinball FX 2 is keeping me away. Must beat people's high scores.

Divinity, because it's probably the one out of the two I'd actually be able to run on this old computer.

You can play one game now and the other next year.

I would choose Divinity because my laptop can't handle the Witcher 3.

I don't even have Witcher 2, so I guess I'd get Witcher 2+3, if they were available now.
But divinity looks good, too. And I never played top-down rpgs, so there's some curiosity.
 
Take Wizardry also it needs a good home
I would, but I already got Wizardry from a very kind member of SteamGAF.

Maybe ModBot is a bit busy. We'll see in a few minutes.
Looks like the one I went after (Thunder Wolves) got claimed by someone else. I'm kind of confused, though, as I entered after the giveaway was done, nobody had claimed it, but it says 3 entrants now?

ModBot must be having a rough day.

Divinity: Original Sin.

I want The Witcher 3 immensely, but I'm definitely sure my current PC won't be able to run it, so... D:OS it is.

Is it considered an honor or a stigma to have your game in a bundle right after its release?

Of course more exposure is a good thing, but I'm asking if the net result is usually positive.

That means those previous entrants weren't eligible so none of them got it.

The DXHR key and Missing Link one *might* be taken, so if you win and they were used let me know.

Well it has been very active these days so it wouldn't surprise me if it slows down a bit.

Right now, Divinity.
Both available, Witcher 3.

listen to the mad man
Is it considered an honor or a stigma to have your game in a bundle right after its release?

Of course more exposure is a good thing, but I'm asking if the net result is usually positive.

There's no easy answer. I think at this point the consensus is that if you were expecting your game to do well, you don't want it to be in a bundle too quickly. But if you're one of the dozens of games releasing weekly that no one cares about, the bundle will give you enough money to pay rent + hopefully generate some word of mouth. A lot of games are in bundles before release to raise support for Greenlight + pay the rent.

Looks like the one I went after (Thunder Wolves) got claimed by someone else. I'm kind of confused, though, as I entered after the giveaway was done, nobody had claimed it, but it says 3 entrants now?

ModBot must be having a rough day.

ModBot only gives away three games per heartbeat, every 45-ish seconds. If someone gives away a bunch of games, it takes a while to process the full giveaway. You entered for a game that was ready to be drawn for but hadn't been drawn for yet. It was not that nobody had claimed it, it was that others had claimed it but ModBot wasn't ready yet. The other reasons that you might enter something that's not taken and be surprised when you don't win is if you're throttled, not eligible because of the rules, or blocked. In all three of those cases it will feel like you "ought" to win, but you won't.

Separately, I think you're throttled right now anyway:
Code:
GA: Begin Claims: Selected electroflame to win game 2146438BD7EDA562
GA: Claim Process: Reading posters from thread 851713
GA: Claim Process: Reading posters from thread 847028
GA: Claim Process: Storing Lurkers for now.
GA: Claim Process: Poster nominally meets no-lurker requirements: electroflame -- 35
GA: Claim Process Throttle: Poster has won 7 times in last week.
(... logs relating to throttle operation and throttle timer calculation here)
GA: Claim Process Throttle: Poster must not have a win since 1404850594
GA: Claim Process Throttle: Poster has won too recently: 1404936831 which is after the limit 1404850594 for electroflame

Nooo, did you beat my scores already? I worked really hard to beat yours. :'(

Your scores are safe for now, I'm still trying to figure out how to do well on the Deadpool table. Having a set-up where your ball can still fail after being "saved" is really annoying design.

Oh definitely. The characters were great, and their stories are basically the reason to play ME2. And it is worth playing.

But coming off ME1 (and I literally beat ME1 and started ME2 the very same week), it's hard not to be disappointed that it squanders so much of the potential that ME1 set up.
Yeah, I totally know what you mean. I played the whole trilogy right when ME3 came out (actually that's the reason I did, because several friends were bothering me until I finally agreed to do it), so as soon as I was done with one game I started the next one. I thought the first hour or two of ME2 were shit, I kid you not. Total shit, from plot to game mechanics and controls, and it had technical issues too (had to disable a CPU core to make the loading times bearable). But then it got better, once I could accept it was different from the previous game and that I either dealt with it or dropped the franchise entirely. And I'm glad I did, because the side missions were worth it, as were the characters and their backstory.

The problem with this game is that I felt it had no reason to exist, nothing meaningful ever happens. The franchise could have jumped from ME1 right to 3, skipping it and retconning a few things here and there, and it would have been exactly the same. As far as I remember, there's nothing significant or important here, and even if 37 of the 40 hours that my playthrough took were great (didn't like the first 2, nor the hour or so of shitty planet scanning), there's still the feeling that it was an appetizer instead of the main dish. Side quests and character development instead of main missions and story advancing. Which isn't a bad thing, because as I said, it's very well done, but it could have (and should have) been much better.
