Original, Director's Cut or Reforged?

[LordBritish284]

Hey guys, maybe you are interested in a comparison of the original game with the 2009 Director's Cut and the new Reforged version? Have a look:

The graphics of Reforged are really better, in my opinion. Only thing I'm missing are the Nico-Chapters from the Director's Cut. What do you think?

Original.

The original is timeless perfection.
No need to pay for extra chapters or a 4K mod pack.

Original in any case!
Director's Cut was not playable even with glasses, you could only play it with complex filter settings in ReShade.
Reforged... maybe at some point, it fails because of the operating system.

Nice comparison. Thank you.

Id like the original interface and "gameplay" in reforged. Now the mouse is assisted when you pass close to an interactive spot. I dont like the giant icons either. The original interface was way more subtle

Timeless perfection???? I laugh my ass off when I'm reading so much rubbish. You're a deluded fanboy. BS is a good game, but far away from perfection.

Incorrect.
When you compare Broken Sword to other Point and Click greats, it shines in many ways. The art style hold up, it doesn't suffer from obtuse puzzle design, and it's mechanically super simply to play. No "OPEN" or "CLOSE" or "TALK" nonsense.

While Broken Sword isn't my favourite Point and Click, it is kinda perfect. I honestly wouldn't change anything. I certainly wouldn't make it 3D or 2.5D like the later ones. They were trash.

A little off topic sorry but why I remember the first game starting as a girl searching for proofs about a mime murderer, but at the same time I also remember this explosion intro with a guy?

Edit: nevermind, apparently I played both the original and the director's cut back in the days... They start differently.

Just stick with the original. Although it was cool to see additional content in Director's Cut, something about the art and the UI just didn't work.

The original might be low resolution with audio that is compressed to hell, but it's just the better experience.
