I've never really been a fan of Turn Based RPGs. I used to play them in the 80's, but then I moved to 3rd Person and First person games. So I purchased BG3 with little prior experience except for games like Neverwinter. The story of this game is great, and the lore is expansive. The use of in-engine cutscenes to tell the story is refreshing, and immersive. The combat is very X-Com like and not in a bad way. This game does not hold you hand very much and pretty much throws you into the thick of things. I'm only a couple of hours into the game so far, but I expect I'm already hooked. My one major gripe with the game is the poor camera control, very oftern objectives will be masked by terrain and you have no idea unless you use the camera's limited panning ability. The F1 key is great for bringing things back to view though and it helps. Backl in the old days you would have gotten a paper manual, something this game is sorely lacking.
I never expected to sit down and play this goame to completion is a single session. It's now 3am on a Monday Morning, and I have work in 5hrs LOL This game is simple, and yet stunning, you really get inside the heads of the characters. It's an ideal game for people who DON'T like video games, it really sucks you in.. The visuals are good, but not amazing, and any Windows XP laptop will run this game. The story is brilliant, and keeps you engaged. $10 very well spent, and I have just bought the sequel ;-)
Excelent game, with great characters and story. Not as expansive as Skyrim, but easily one of the best. Witcher 3 is going to have a lot to live up to,
Timelessgraphics and good physics
Great visuals, even though there is a resolution bug with Nvidia cards. Interesting story, although its quite linear. Nice controls, and an interesting concept. No way near as good as freelancer, but what is? 9/10 ;-)
Nausia inducing movement in this game, ships movement has little to do with control imput. Really crappy story and terrible dialogue. The only revelation in this game, is how it ever got published in the first place!! A truly terrible game thats best played when you are very very drunk (and have a bucket to hand to spew in).
I always wanted to be Bloefeld or Dr Evil :-) this game is great. A real sense of 70's Kitch, good gameplay great graphics and Music. Love it.. Come Mr Bigglesworth, time to feed the Mutated Sea-Bass...
