  • I guess if we get new games in the long run I don’t really mind, it just seems weird.

    I played Yooka-Laylee on release and it was overall an enjoyable game. As I understand they fixed a number of bugs a few months after release, but by then us release day folks had beaten it (and reviewers reviewed it).

    The first level of the game was excellent, the later levels felt more rushed (or at least lacking the same level of polish). Maybe the changes will be to those levels, although level layout is key so I don’t know if you can just resize/move things.

    I played Impossible Lair about a year after release and thought it was awesome.

    Based on this trailer I doubt I’ll play the original again, but maybe I can be convinced.











  • Yeah anyone apart from Larian making BG4 is basically fucked. Maybe if they wait 5-10 years and a studio with an established brand comes in, but that isn’t what’s going to happen.

    Prior to BG3 I held BG1&2 somewhere in the top 5 games of all time. BG3 had an impossible bar to meet and they not only met it, but far surpassed it.

    I’m genuinely sad at whatever BG4 releases as. It’s like someone who loved Diablo 1&2 looking at Diablo 3&4. Diablo 3 was a shell of Diablo 2 and I literally just had to check if Diablo 4 was a released game. Maybe it’s fun to someone, but I’ve completely checked out of the series.

    So here’s to BG4, BG:TCG, & BG:Mobile, shells of the greatness that came before them.



  • April 30 is the release date for those wondering.

    I was ready to buy it before just to relive the game again. I could still play the original, but figured it would be fun to play this one.

    New levels are exciting, curious to see how they are fit in. I hope it’s a few twists concepts of existing levels put right alongside vs a new area. (But I’ll be happy with either.)

    (Also, please give us a better way of claiming the first star, I hate waiting for hours.)
