looks good to me

Tweened piece of vector gfx.
It doesn't only sound rude.

The style of the new intro is a good way to keep budget, and not make your eyes bleed.

[Blurt]

Heh the game is still good. But if you own BG1/BG2 already you are better off just modding it. No need to buy it again.

I got to say, I actually like the new one better. The original one, while classic, just didn't age well.

[Vegge]

Giant pool of blood is so fail

[Silly Grey Owl]

I kinda like the original better.

As for the huge pool of blood, my wife just said it best. "If humans had that much blood, we'd have fat vampires." >.<

They took out the Nietzche quote?? Wtf...that was the best part. And the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ still animation sucks. The new one was terribad. Why did they even bother? Maybe they should have spent a little more time making the game crash less.

[Pousto]

And what's the point (of the original post)? So there's a new intro... so what? Do you think that has any effect on the game itself?

If they change too much, people complain that it's not the same / as good as the original.
If they don't change much, people complain they're reselling the original under a new (Enhanced Edition) name without providing content.

At 50% off today, I'm finally willing to try it again.

[Turbo Nozomix]

The original carries a lot more weight to it, I prefer it.

Why don't you buy the game before you complain about it 'crashing so much' (steam profile shows that you don't own it - on steam at least). Honestly, I have not had one issue with the game thus far.

If you are just against buying the game because of the new movies then that is rather silly. The movies add what? 3-4 minutes of time to a game the probably takes new players 80 hours to beat.

Deciding not to buy based on that cinematic is really, honestly, quite stupid. It has no bearing on the game itself; if I bought games based on their opening sequences, I would have bought almost NO games in the 90s, lol.

I agree about the issue with "crashing" too. I bought it today since it was half off and haven't had a single crash. Sometimes legit versions are stabler. ;p

I think the fact that they chose to devote resources to changing something that didn't need changing from the original gives me a good idea of their priorities, and I'd rather not give them money then find out they changed other things that didn't need changing. It shows me they don't have the proper respect for the original.

You can't be serious.

They've even hired famous BG modders to the dev team. Those modders are now getting paid to create and fix things for BGEE. And you say they don't respect Baldur's Gate?

Yes I do say that.
