And that shows that you are obviously in the minority with your opinion. Most people who played Divinity 2 gave it a positive rating, so many even that it got the excellent ratings I linked before.
I never played the original game and anyway liked Divinity 2 a lot. I think it's an outstanding rpg and recommend it to anyone interested in the genre. If you don´t like it that´s fine but don´t present your individual opinion as being objective.
So, my opinion is invalid, but yours is okay? Think about the base that is likely to play this game. I'm sure most of them have the same opinion as you. When it comes time review, they would probably like it.
You, however, are using biased sampling (people who bought the game, and people paid to play games) and an echo chamber to conclude that your viewpoint is the only valid one. Do you see the flaw here?
What about people who don't like what you like? They're not spending $50 on a game they don't like. 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.
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.

Obviously.
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.
So I obviously did not declare your opinion invalid as you can see.
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.
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 agree, and again quote what I wrote earlier
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?
