Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance

Game works great on my laptop. They didn't change the original (thank god). The only difference I can see is that the right stick no longer swirls the fire around on the loading screens. I see some people are playing this on keyboard - why? Game is too expensive for a straight port, too. But it is perfect. Maybe add achievements when you port the second (which I will also buy immediately)?

Just trying to balance out the review score with an actual review and not just whinging about what it costs. Which isn't a review. While I haven't played this PC version (yet) I absolutely loved this game bitd on PS2 and now Gamecube. If you like fantasy worlds and possibly mindless dungeon crawling then you will probably like this. I am someone who enjoys Dynasty Warriors greatly so I can imagine that some people might get a tad bored. If I remember rightly though you can choose one of three characters/races which play differently and have different skills. I personally had many, many fun hours playing. Oh and it is Baldurs Gate as it is based in the world. Like saying Lega Marvel isn't Marvel because it's different.

I played this thing back in the days... not for long though. It is clearly the weakest game of the Baldurs Gate series, it felt like a mediocre Diablo-clone. And now you charge 30 bucks for this. Have you completely lost your mind, or are you simply insulting our intelligence as gamers? I really like in general what GOG does, but this is simply impertinent.

Now, that's an old title. Yes. Graphics and art tell it immediately. Google it for further proof if you must. So, yeah.. $30 for a game from 2001. You gotta be kidding me. But ok. There are collectors, there are relentless fans that just have to have it. It's business. Alright. I understand. But what I DONT UNDERSTAND is why EVERY other game on GOG has Genre/WorksOn/ReleaseDate/Company/Size metainfo, and this game doesn't have ReleaseDate mentioned. With this wastly-overshot price tag, I can't help but fanthom, is this intentional? Dump a 'new' BaldursGate game, set a high, but not rocket-high price, and keep quiet about its age, maybe someone buys it not noticing its 20yrs old? Bad GOG, bad GOG!

This is a SHIT EMULATION!!! And the game is priced too high! I wanted to give zero star.
