Yeesh, I'm a "Baldurs Gate Oldhead" XD man I'm getting old.
I could just cry at the fact that BG3 is download only. If they never release it hardcopy I will never be able to play it. Being out in the boonies. Even if they could just put what they can on a disc ya know?
Been looking for a good split screen to play with my gal, and yet what I'm sure is a masterpiece is out of reach.
There's also the Dark Alliance Oldheads, they don't need to be quite as old as me to have played those. Just replayed Dark Alliance II with my gal and it was well worth the heavy price tag for such an old title. Unlike the new Dark Alliance garbage. Which I bought to play split screen and it is not.
Buy it on gog, head into town and download the installer to a usb stick.
Gonna need a fast connection in town or plenty of time. The GOG install is 108GB.
Yep, probably a good two hours on a coffee shop wifi. Be sure to drink lots of coffee and leave a nice tip!
Not to mention it's in 28 parts if you're downloading the standalone installer and not using Galaxy.
What's gog? I was hoping for it on PS5, don't have a powerful enough computer I imagine. Just a 10 year old laptop.
PCMR knows what GoG is, console users don't need to know.
Have fun on ps5 when it releases!
Sorry pal ๐ for what it's worth, I'm old enough that I played part of BG2 on PC as a kid. But I was too young to understand THAC0 back then. Lol
This is my first hearing this. Damn this seems like a big deal for a game of this scale?
Yeah I was teenager playing Baldurs Gate and 2 on PC. I only knew THAC0 because I was a D&D enthusiast and read my uncle's old books.
I'm still new to Beehaw not sure how y'all are clipping pieces of the conversation, and replying.
It seems like a big deal to me, but everyone has been saying the industry is moving to online only anyways. Like the new Diablo.
