    I've played through BG, BGII, and Icewind Dale multiple times, and a portion of the way through Planescape.  Amazing games (BGII is in my top 10, BG my top 25).  But they are older games that were intended to be played with a mouse so they may not be for everyone.  Did you ever play Dragon Age?  I consider that a spiritual BG3

    Had to look that one up, so I have not. KoToR was probably the closest (and newest) that I have gotten to this type of game maybe (saw Bioware and action-RPG when I looked up Dragon Age)? I have had BGII on the shelf for a long time, I just haven't played the PS2 much. The portability of the Switch makes it a better choice at this point in life. Planescape is one that I have wanted to play for many years, but never had a comfortable setup.


  • I will end up with these but I was expecting an Icewind and Icewind Dale 2 as a pack, wonder if this means more may come in the future and I wouldn't mind Neverwinter Nights 2 as well.

    Fyi I've played BG on a tablet with a stylus and it actually wasn't bad at all. I think it will play well on Switch.
  • I hope these don't use a stylus. That's an interface I can't get into.

    The BG games on PS2 were totally different.  Action RPG dungeon crawling types.  Still fun though.



    Baldur's Gate - huge epic old school western RPG with a great story and a great turn-based/real-time hybrid combat system, that is tough as nails

    Baldur's Gate II - even huger, epic-er, old school western RPG with another great story

    Icewind Dale - BG spinoff that is more combat-oriented

    Icewind Dale II - haven't played it, but I assume more of the same

    Planescape Torment - same engine, but in a different D&D campaign, and more story-oriented.  I only got a dozen hours into it, but people swear by this gmae

    Dark Alliance - action RPG that basically shares no similarities with any of those games

    Dark Alliance II - ditto

    Fallout BoS - a Fallout version of Dark Alliance

    Neverwinter Nights - never played this, but I know the emphasis was more on the ability to mod or DM your own games and campaigns

    Neverwinter Nights 2 - never played this either

    Dragon Age - basically Baldur's Gate III, with a very similar type of combat engine that mixes real-time and turn-based, with another huge campaign and epic story



    I haven't played any of the new stuff either (new Planescape, Pillars of Eternity I & II, etc.), but if you like any of those I imagine you'll like these games



    KoTor could be a seen as in the same vein, just very much stripped down and simplified.  Not to say that I didn't love that game too, but it's shares more with Mass Effect than it does the games that precedeed it.





     
  • Good to know the PS2 BGs are different, thanks Brock. Looks like I'll be going into them with completely fresh eyes then  .

  • LRG has a preorder up for Power Ranger: Battle for the Grid.
  • I'm kind of pissed at the pricetag for Power Rangers. Why is that game $60?
  • I looked at it and wanted the limited, but it is quite pricey compared to normal releases. 90 bucks.

    I would presume that has to do with Sabans License fee, almost feels like when Tatio does a release its high as shit. But I am not too keen on that price tag either. $40 maybe not $60 and fuck $90 for some coins or whatever that is supposed to be.

    Damn, that is so awesome! Really need something like that as right now I am so overwhelmed with the collector editions and their different sizes.  



     
  • I have some more updating to do.



    Who is excited for today? I can't watch the direct until I get home tonight. Hoping for a surprise or two.

    I'm in the same boat. Can't watch until later. Really hoping for a couple things. I know they said there will be no hardware news but I'd love to see a tease about the rumored new models.
