Only Single Player writes "[T]he inherent issue with Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition... is [that it is] perhaps too faithful to the original.
I can understand why they'd want to keep so much of the original - series fans would complain if a new direction was taken, and the original game is quite strong by itself. The problem is that many of the enhancements just aren't obvious enough. I'm torn by that - I don't want the enhancements to be obvious, because I want MY Baldur's Gate experience, just the way I remember it. It shows the developer's skill and familiarity with the series, too, to be able to add new content that does not feel out of place. It's just, for a re-release, I want something extra - something to modernise the experience enough to justify the purchase."
The Enhanced Editions of Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 have just shadow dropped into Xbox Game Pass days before the Xbox Showcase
They could add a still image of cartoon poop as a game and you'd still say it was an excellent addition and xbox/gamepass owners are eating good.
But yes, this is indeed a good addition. Perhaps Icewind Dale & Planescape Torment will soon follow, unless it's already on there.
They came out last gen and have been on sale for very cheap many times.
These games are ancient. There is no shadow dropping. They released an couple of ancient games on a platform. This is the same with every other ancient game that gets released on every other platform. Title: "Now You can play BG I & II on Xbox."
I am beginning to wonder if either of you know what the term "shadow dropping" means.
The Humble RPG Legends Bundle just launched today. It includes nine items including Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Neverwinter Nights: Complete Adventures, and more.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon has just added several more new games under $10 and $20 to celebrate its Prime Day, but these deals are not limited to just Prime members. That means even if you are not a Prime member, you could take advantage of these deals right now across multiple gaming platforms!"
Nice work, Trent and the gang! Nice to see they pulled it off. It's also nice to hear Baldur's Gate is still relevant. Kinda makes me pine for the Bioware of old. There's no doubt I'll be picking this up. I actually think I still have my Baldur's Gate disks around somewhere.
Wow, excellent review. All in all I hope they keep enhancing more games in the set.
Even though I still have the originals on CD and re-bought them both again on COG.. I'm still gonna buy this.
Always try to run away... always manage to catch up to me >_>
Is it available on Google Play for android?
