Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series released on PC

[Volourn]

It won't helps Champions be made since a different publisher us involved. Interplay owns the rights to BGDA not Champions, IIRC. This is because Interplay/Bis are evil pieces of shit who like to lie and make up shit.

can only imagine what kind of ownership hell the CoN games are in, wouldn't ever expect them to get any sort of remaster
It was originally published by a division of Sony that doesn't even exist anymore. EQ itself has changed hands a bunch of times since then. Who knows who actually owns the rights to CoN.

If you like these games(DA/CoN) I'd recommend emulating Justice League Heroes, it was the last game in this 'series'.

First Dark Alliance was... ok. The cracks began to show by the last dungeon.

I wonder how the X-Men Legends games hold up today.

I forgot about the x-men legends games. those were a lot of fun too.

Started playing DA2 with my bro. While still playable, this games are nowheere near as good as I remember. Still alright and, of course, better than most of the shlock now adays.

Both DAs would gratly benefit from actual total remakes not these lame rereleases. They are almost 20 year old games. Do some actual work. LMAO

 

[ResetRPG]

Any change that they'll bring Fallout:BoS back too

Instant GOTY for a Fallout BoS remake/remaster.

 

[Zlaja]

I still own both Champions Of Norrath and it's sequel, so I remember both these games well. The first could really use a remaster, not just because it's an old game only released on PS2, but also because it has some horrific slowdown issues in dungeons when certain spell effects go off. Whenever goblin mages would use an ice spell the frames would dip to single digits. Literal slideshow.

It's also worth noting that these CON games feature a gameplay where enemies hit like a truck so you can't really afford to just trade blows with them and hope for the best. You have to actively block to avoid getting hit, 'cause normal enemies hit more like in Dark Souls rather than D2/Titan Quest/Sacred etc. The sequel is even more brutal in this regard.

If anyone of you encountered any problems with DA2 you can report me as I am one of the developers of this port

Nice, didn't know about this game at all, might give it a try later this week.

While I beat both games with my little blow, what you described is true, and it felt cheap af.

One other thing that they would have to consider are the random dungeons. The game had a chance of locking up while playing on PS2.

Champions next plz and thank you.

Whatever this game is, "day 1 purchase for sure "

This is how aesthetics for female characters should be for all games. The moment they started trying to ban chainmail bikini armor it started going wrong

You got terrible taste then, these women look like dumb bimbo street workers and not in a good way. THIS is tasteful:

The point was not what woman can or cannot wear. They can be naked for all I care. This was a question about taste and what women "should look like". And all you could produce is cheap softporn C-movie level crap. Even Xena and Hercules look like AAA production in terms of aesthetics compared to the crap he showed. Personally I do not care about chainmail bikini. To me it always looked stupid. That is not to say that you cannot look sexy in armor.

Here is a good example how to look sexy and have at least semi functional armor:

While not 100% functional still offers decent protection to vitals while looking sexy and tasteful.

Other examples:

Holy shit. What a faggot.

I'd imagine the second is still fun, and the first is probably even more annoying than it was on release. That first X-Men Legends game did some weird shit that even on release made you wonder what they were thinking...like having a whole single player section you have to do before you can get to the multiplayer part of the multiplayer game. There's also some annoying shit that was going on with stages; I want to say the pathfiding may have been kind of shitty in that first game, but I mostly played the whole game with three other people the whole time.

There was that Marvel: Ultimate Alliance rerelease a while back.

All I remember about X-Men Legends is my wife played Storm the whole time we co-oped and never used any power other than trigger-Y.

Is that true for all difficulties? I thought it was just Hard being particularly brutal for me...
I've had to cheese some bosses by only getting one hit in between every block for the entire fight.
Atleast it FEELS cheesy, but maybe that's how it's meant to be played ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hard? Are you talking about Dark Alliance games? Difficulty levels in Champions Of Norrath and it's sequel are Adventurous, Courageous, Champion and Legendary. In order to play on higher difficulty you have to import a character that matches the minimum level requirement of said difficulty. Higher difficulties offer rescaled enemies and higher tier weapons and armors. Which makes these games infinitely more enjoyable from a loot standpoint than Dark Alliance games, whose difficulties are your standard easy/normal/hard that you can switch whenever.

Dark Alliance II also had that for extreme difficulty. Import characters with the proper levels. Gain loot that was scaled up.

I just knew the existence of Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes

It runs pretty well in Xemu emulator, I'm just an hour in but the game looks pretty good, I think being xbox only exclusive made disservice for this game because I never heard of it before.

This sure is a saucy tart wanting more than gold.

GOOD LORDY IS SHE HORNY!!
