Thanks for funding BG3

BG is literally on phones.

I hope you enjoy them. They were terrible on PC, and you were better off playing the original versions.
Nolan Price
What makes them so bad? I have Planescape in my backlog and I keep telling myself I'll get around to it eventually but I'd like to experience it in the best way possible for when that day finally comes.

Beamdog is a guilty of a number of different crimes. Here are the major ones.
1. The Enhanced Editions are essentially a collection of free mods that had existed for nearly twenty years. Beamdog gathered them all up, slapped "Enhanced Edition" on it and resold it as a new product. There's very very little in the Enhanced Editions that wasn't already out there, and most of it is stuff you don't want (like obnoxious character outlines).
2. The games didn't sell so well and the originals were still far outselling them, even twenty years after their release, so Beamdog had EVERY digital distributor stop selling the originals and ONLY sell the Enhanced Edition. If you want to buy a digital copy of the originals now, they're "bundled" into the Enhanced Edition. Now these scumbags can claim sales from people just wanting to buy the originals as their own.
3. The infamous 600+ bugs on launch. The game is still riddled with bugs (as even a perfunctory glance over their forums show) but the fact that it took nearly two years for them to get a game that had been working fine for 20 years to reach playability after launch is telling of their wild incompetence.
4. This is where we get to the ones that really piss people off. Beamdog couldn't just remaster the game, they had to fuck with the content too. New dialogue for existing NPCs like Jaheira, Viconia, Safana, Kivan, et cetera was written in to make the characters more progressive and leftist friendly. Beamdog shills will argue that "adding content isn't changing content XDDD" but it is when the new content changes the core personalities of the existing characters. This is in addition to adding a slew of their own LGBT (hitherto there were none in Baldur's Gate) NPCs, all flooded with OP attributes and magic items to encourage people to play them despite their cancer.
5. Siege of motherfucking Dragonspear.

Oh boy, I wouldn't be too proud of that.
Evan Lopez
Well shit, I had no idea it was that bad. I appreciate the help.
Eli Nguyen
youre welcome, god knows you guys need any game you can get.
Xavier Carter
Is planescape torment a meme or should I get it for the switch? Been curious about it since I first got addicted to this god forsaken site
Noah Rogers
They are also coming to Xbone and PS4 too.
Adrian Kelly
its one of those games you only play for the story
Henry Wright
Not the guy you're quoting, but fucking wew lad.
I was mildly excited about this announcement, but I don't wanna have an experience that's been ruined in that manner. I'll try playing them on PC sometime. I'm guessing all of these ''''Enchanced'''' editions suffer the same issues?
Benjamin Powell
exclusives are always bad, everything should be multiplat

>planescape / icewind dale
let's put a largely narrative driven game with a game like icewind dale which is purely mechanical grognard dungeon crawling
why?
Dominic Reed
Thanks for eating our leftovers, Switch shitters.
Lucas Martinez
Isn't Planescape 'words words words' the game?
Lucas Richardson
>NWN without mods
big yikes
Benjamin Jenkins
Its more like constantly updating your journal: the videogame
William Martinez
But people say the ending sucks?
Ryan Smith
So say i hate old crpgs where you have to click to do everything and would much rather wasd to move around. Can i play it like that for the story or do i have to suffer right hand only like most old mmos?
Anthony Hill
Planescaoe: Torment EE is the definitive way to play the game, don't listen to that dude.
Nathaniel Garcia
And it's terrific!
Gabriel Bennett
Can you at least make a decent case for it? I'd like to believe you but the other guy provided evidence for why it should be avoided.
Kayden Scott
they didn't add any of their own bullshit to PS:T, the only thing they did to the text is to proofread it and correct things as needed, and that was done by Chris Avellone himself. otherwise the game runs easier on modern systems and is in widescreen, etc. it's the most non-offensive of the beamdog ports
Nathan Morgan
You can check out the playthrough Avellone and his friend did when they were promoting it, but like the other user already said, none of the bullshit that the other dude was ranting about was in the game, they updated the textures and made a couple of welcome changes that made it easier to play without impacting the game in any negative way.
Camden Howard
That's really good to know, thanks.
Easton Roberts
Sweet!
Henry Wilson
this. FUCK beamdog
Benjamin Nelson
I've never once seen someone say the ending sucked. Combat is trash, but the story is one of the best in all of gaming from start to finish.
Jacob Ward
you guys realize this is a insomniac with a hateboner for anything beamdog who posts this on anything relatively to due with beamdog right?
most of his points don't even make sense
>ee is a collection of mods
what mods do a remake of the alternate infinity lighting engine? or the other qol features it brings?
>new npcs
you can tell them to fuck off every time you encounter them
>SoD
good thing it was an expansion and adds zero stuff to the actual baldurs gate experience
also about time you add another point to your shoddy list
inb4 shill for being devil's advocate
