Isn't this for games that run primarily on DOS? I'm pretty sure I did run my old ICW2 using compatibility mode and OpenGL/OpenAL.Originally Posted by Onikaroshi

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

A lot of those old games are based around the assumption you have a dos based OS. Originally Posted by Makabreska

Nope, they need to generate unhealthy amount of hype for idiots to pre order. Originally Posted by Gaidax

Idk if preordering this is actually being an idiot, though. Larian has proven themselves similarly to CDPR with a complete lack of fucking up. It's probably a safe bet this isn't vaporware and will be good. Originally Posted by Aliven

I did the early access of OSD2 and never regretted it. Considering they did a awesome job with that game, I feel very comfortable doing the same with BG3. Originally Posted by Aliven

Wouldn't really call it a preorder though, you generally get nothing to play with a preorder. EA is going to be quite lengthy, talking about it being the length of DoS2, which is huge. Originally Posted by Aliven

Or I could actually preorder and receive my Collector's Edition on time which is what I did with Wticher 3? Kinda did not want to buy an additional digital copy on the release day for that. Or in case of Cyberpunk - you are not overpaying anything and you will have refunds regardless. GoG is good with them, for Steam its everyday stuff. Originally Posted by Aliven

Also sometimes game is cheaper that way and again, refunds exist. What I do despise are the preorder bonuses (again, CDPR games do not have them). Now that is a scummy tactic, makes false scarcity of a digital product. This plus reputation (or the lack of it) means I will never preorder shit from, say, EA, by principle. But there are exceptions, as I said, not everything is black or white. Originally Posted by Shadoowpunk

No it's not. There is good reasons for me. I do not want to wait. And I can afford to buy a game when I want to. But normally I do wait until they have been out for a while to fix some bugs and also, to get a discounted price. I do that a lot with games I am not too sure about, but find interesting.

Larian so far did not fail me and BG3 seems awesome too, especially because its combat system and gameplay is inspired by DOS.
So yeah, ready to smash that pre-order buttons as soon as it lights up in Steam.

While waiting for this game I've been enjoying Wasteland 3 these past 2 weeks. Fantastic game, despite the bugs.
The way the music breaks in during key fights is just so epic.Last edited by Daedius; 2020-09-18 at 12:36 AM.

So I saw this game got delayed
https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs...elease-delayed
I've never played a Baldur's Gate game but I heard it being compared to Diablo a lot. Is the gameplay the same as Diablo, ARPG or is it one of them boring turn based games like Divinity?
