No they weren't. They might have had some updated graphics. The storyline, depth, complexity, and dialogue can't compare at all. Not to mention interparty NPC dialogue.

Amen.

Deus Ex > Baldur's gate?

I can't stop laughing.

I've always been a console gamer, so my experiences come from them. Having said that I believe America >>> Japan during the current gen. Japan >>> America during the PSX/64 era; and America=Japan last gen.

IMO is correct.

I can't believe something so bland and generic "is the best game to come out this year".

This game is like WoW or CS.. In a scale of overratedness, I'd give it a 10.

You have long established yourself as a raging weaboo.

Why do you try to make your own opinion come off as even remotely important to anything?

Forgot to mention Planescape, there's another WRPG that far outshines Baldur's Gate. I'd probably add The Elder Scroll games and Fallout 3 as well, and possibly Knights of the Old Republic 2.

And if I might be giving the impression that I rate those games especially highly, I don't. They're the best of a bad bunch, and yet there isn't a single Bioware game that even approaches them.

I doubt most people have even gone above and beyond and modded their game to their liking. I myself am a retro gamer, I just mod the games I play to the max. BG had an awesome story, awesome villains, feel, weapons, you had Drizzt, and Elminster, interparty romances, you had voice acting from David Warner. You can control and edit every single aspect of the game from top to bottom. They are all good games, but I have to say BG was highly underrated, and needs a sequel. Games like Diablo are really just the McDonalds verison of the same game.

BG does have a high learning curve, so the average gamer might find it too complex/ or be bored with it. But that is why I like it, it *isn't* for the average gamer. Things that "everyone" like tend to be massively watered down or dumbed down. WOW is fun for a lot of people, but it would lose its appeal if they made it a really complex game. So you have little choice but to McDonald's it down. That's the same thing with music and everything else. The paying fanbase won't pay for those certain things that hardcore enthusiasts like, so they make their money off of the large fanbase, something which others might consider "selling out" but it is a business.

Diablo, there's another one.

Diablo's better than BG? Reported for trolling.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that...
Rule 44 of teh internetz.

Only reason why people bought Dragon Age is either:

a. Western superiority complex

b. It was developed by BioWare

When I choosing between Demon's Souls and Dragon Age, I tried both games...
I have to say, Dragon Age didn't meet my expectations...
Baldur's Gate was way better.

I never actually played Baldur's Gate, so I cannot comment on which was better.

Western superiority? Lol. Please, Japan is the most overrated country in gaming, hell, in alot of things actually, but I digress. If you think a substantial amount of people bought the game for that, you truly are a deluded weaboo.

BioWare makes pretty good games, so yeah.

How was Demon's Souls by the way?

Haven't played through it yet... though I did try it out in the shop.

It's similar to Dragon Age. Bought it since I expect it to have a more decent storyline compared to DA. And way more challenging.

I'll have to finish Half-Minute Hero and Tekken 6 first on my PSP before trying it out.

i love this site. half the members on here suffer from some of the most severe cases of pretentiousness and delusions of grandeur i have ever seen in my life.

Everything remains the same. Dragon Age brings absolutely nothing new to the table. Its a failed recreation of the original Baldur's Gate at best.
Nobody cares what u think nebaris.

I can assure you I didn't get DA due to any kind of complex.

And yes, BioWare inspires faith in me that the game will be good.

Characters have depth and were well written. The dialogue in general was well written. Right down to the banter that party members have amongst each other. I.e.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o30kABPuSL4 😆

I actually got emotional over Morrigan and her relationship with the main character.

Combat, while a bit tedious, was something I learned and appreciated for its tact. I.e. traps and combat tactics.

Other than nostalgic feelings and being multiplayer, Baldur's Gate is not superior to DA.

Baldur's Gate was a watered down Diablo. Ironically it was the simplified system that made me enjoy it more than Diablo. It was linear, but fun. Nothing complex about it, just playing the class. And the thing that made it so much fun (little depth) is what it lacks as an RPG.

DA offers a story, choices, in depth characters and everything else Baldur's Gate has going for it (customization and combat).

If you want more Baldur's Gate, go get Marvel Alliance or any of the X-Men Legend games. They're practically the same.

Oh, and American.

I couldn't wait, so I just played through Demon's Souls a few minutes ago.

Contrary to the reviews, it isn't as hard as they say it is.. although I see novices and beginners struggling.

Controls are well-laid out.. love the camera angle.. graphics are very well-detailed.

Even the weakest of enemies can kill you with 1-4 hits, especially on the most critical parts of the body.
Realistic HP.

I'm itching to play the game now xP
Must... control... urge.
Have... to finish... Tekken 6... and Half-Minute Hero first.

Nah, BG1 and BG2 were way more complex. More party members, more spells, more depth about the spells (hell the instruction manual was several hundred pages because of it), you have reputation, romances, everything.

Dual class, multi-class, custom class, kits. The first Diablo had like, 3 classes. Baldur's Gate allowed you to summon Genie's, NPC's had their own quests. You had so many optional quests you could play forever. It went on and on. In Diablo you could potentially go forever in character levels (so they say), but you can mod BG to do that too.

No way is BG more watered down. In Diablo, you moved and hit. Diablo two had a little more depth, but the simplicity is also why people liked it too. But it wasn't more complex than BG. No way no how.

Also had better music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCXMXflff8s&feature=related
