Holy shit, I got Baldur's Gate 3 recently on sale for less than this lazy remaster of a 19 year old game.

Gamers are lapping this shit up too. What happened to the rage people had for the Switch 2 being expensive?

Ive used this as an opportunity to be real fun at parties and point out to libs “Bethesda is on BDS, so this is kinda like Hogwarts Legacy and you’ll have to decide if a video game is worth it.”

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

Yes gigachad-hd

It doesn't even seem to have Denuvo, so it should be easy to pirate too.

I thought that it was basically just a texture mod at first, too, but apparently this is an unreal engine 5 game, so it actually is a lot more than a texture mod. Even if they call it remastered, it is essentially a full remake. I wonder what this means for the future of the Gamebryo engine.

[-] Parzivus@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

It's unreal doing the graphics but apparently it's still Bethesda's engine doing the rest of the game. I'm sure they updated some stuff but it's gonna play pretty damn similarly to Oblivion

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

The logic is the same as Oblivion and it plays exactly like that. It's a remaster not a remake.

But the deluxe edition gives you bonus horse armor! soypoint-2

Remember when people actually got upset about this sort of thing? When horse armor for the original oblivion was used as an example of game companies just being extremely greedy and blatantly anti-consumer? Haha, remember when gamers actually took issue with DLC and "upgrades" that did nothing but provide an empty cosmetic change to the game?

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

we were right to be mad at the time

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Deluxe edition also gets you an art book and the soundtrack

on the other hand, i also remember the dark days of N64 cartridge pricing here

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Remember when an Xbox 360 game could end up being $120 at launch at EB games? I sure do.

They're outraged they changed Gender to Body Type

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

did they? do any of us care?

[-] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

We're all going to mod in massive hogs for either body type so what's it matter?

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Oblivion is a bad game to start with

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

compared to morrowind but it's better than everything that came after besides new vegas (which bgs didn't make)

[-] kleeon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Skyrim is better than Oblivion i-think-that

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

The levelling, graphics, and voice acting are better, but the quests, which imo are the real draw, are vastly worse.

I guess there's no more marrow in the bones of skyrim?

Where's the remaster of their last actually good game? Daggerfall?

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Why not an expansion to Starfield? doggirl-smug

I have no idea who can afford this shit atm.

Also please fuck off with forever culture. Things can be in the past. It's ok to move on.

[-] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

You can afford it. Everything is free if you steal it. Take back your common inheritance.

what happened to ethics in gaming?

People were mad at nintendo because theyre racist af, more than anything

[-] Bay_of_Piggies@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

This isn't true. It has some significant changes, but still feels like the original. They nailed it.

There is new voice acting, and voices are effected by your position to the speaker. They improved the leveling system. They added sprint. The combat feels similar, but is a lot less janky. Of course the improved VFX and SFX. There is probably other things. But it's definately more than a remaster. It feels like a remake.
