Re: Remastering games, is it really worth it?

Posted on 2023-10-13, 17:02

IMO remastering only makes sense on consoles without backwards compatibility. For PC, it makes no sense at all. So many Windows games still play fine on modern operating systems, and if a game doesn't work "out of the box" there is almost always some fan made patch or something to get it working. …

Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession I've always been intrigued by the post-Gold Box SSI D&D games, so I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this! As a big fan of the Universal horror movies from the 30s and 40s, I really like the setting of Ravenloft, and I definitely plan on playing this game and its …

Pillars of Eternity I'm partway into Act II, and I am really enjoying this now! I'm glad I decided to give it another chance. The mechanics are completely different from AD&D, but once you get into the game, they aren't really that different. It's very cool how you can enchant your weapons at any …

Dungeon Lords: Collector's Edition I know this game is reviled, but I'm a fan of D.W. Bradley's work with the Wizardry series, and the version of this game available on Steam is actually quite different from the original game (the class system was completely revamped). Fans of the game generally …

Pillars of Eternity I cleared Act 1 and started exploring the hub town (somewhat similar to Baldur's Gate in BG1). Unlike with BG1 , I've been fully exploring all the wilderness areas, since they are smaller (and fewer) and always have something of interest in them. It also helps that the game has …

Pillars of Eternity This game finally clicked, and I became addicted to it. I started with most of the autopause options enabled, but one-by-one turned off the options I found to be annoying, and now the combat makes a lot of sense. I still have the "auto slow" option enabled for combat, though I …

Pillars of Eternity Now that I've completed several of the games that inspired this, I decided to give it another chance. I started over and decided I'd completely ignore the companions, in favor of "hiring" (creating) a full party of adventurers ASAP. If you gather absolutely everything you can …

Congrats! This game is in my library, but never felt motivated enough to try it due to some of your original issues. But now I'm more likely to try it with the mod you suggested. Thanks! Here is more information on that mod, if you ever decide to give NWN another try: https://steamcommunity.com/ …

Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition Completed! I've given this game so many attempts over the years, beginning with when the game was released back in 2002, but always got really bored with the large maps full of trapped and locked chests that contain mostly trash, the lack of party control (or …

That's a good point, but I'd wager that a huge portion of the typical Steam library consists of games purchased for pennies in bundles. My pet theory is that most people that would actually consider themselves "gamers" don't really spend that much time playing games to complete them. Most just fool …

I've seen people online complain about having a games backlog (a long list of games that they have, but have yet to play), and I think " What? How is that a bad thing ". Having games that you have yet to play is a great thing, I believe. It means I never get board, and given how barren and …

One of the "benefits" of Steam is that as the years go on, you end up building up quite a library of unfinished or even unplayed games ("benefits" in quotes, because the reason for this, of course, is that you don't own anything you "buy" on there and can't for example sell a game if you don't like …

Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition I've actually become quite addicted to this. It's not a good game, but it is so close to being good. There's tons of nonlinear exploration within each Chapter, lots of optional quests, and quests even have multiple solutions based on your build. If Bioware had …

Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition I completed Chapter 1 and made some progress into Chapter 2. I'm still using a mod that let's you add more henchmen, It's amazing what a difference it makes. It blows my mind that Bioware went through all the effort to design a massive campaign with some cool …

It's cool that they offer the ability to switch between the old and new graphics, but I don't care for the new look. High poly Laura on low poly backgrounds with high res textures just looks messy and inconsistent to me.

Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition I decided to give this game another chance. I've tried playing it so many times, starting back in 2002 when the game was first released and I bought into the hype. I hated it then because it felt like such a massive drop in quality from Baldur's Gate (only two …

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I have fond memories of playing this on the original Xbox back in the day (in fact, it was the reason I bought the console), but never got very far into it. For some reason, I decided to play this last night and became very addicted... once I was done, I …

At least it's finally over. Phew. I liked this a lot more than you did, but I agree with pretty much everything you wrote above. The game is definitely at its best up until you arrive at Baldur's Gate, and then takes a nosedive in quality. I mostly skipped everything there. I, too, had tried …

Yes I'm in the same boat - I really want to like it, but it just leaves me cold because of the dull interactions. Same experience with Fallout 4 for me too. New Vegas though I really got into - must be the Obsidian factor. Much better characters and writing in general I think. I think a part of me …

Titan Quest I finally completed Act I. I've focused 100% on Hunting mastery, but now that I'm in Act II, I'll probably start developing my second mastery (most likely Rogue). Steam tells me I'm 14 hours in, but that includes a couple of false starts, so 12 hours is probably more accurate. This game …
