WTF? I just read about this game, and it made me SOOO angry. If somebody should get a new Baldur's Gate game it should be us, and not those stupid, pathetic PS2 Kiddies. I want to see Dark Alliance on the PC. It is rightfully ours. F*ck the playstation, they now nothing about real RPGs. And what gives them the right to make a Baldur's Gate game anyway. Doesn't Black Isle have the copywrites or something. This is just not fair.
Oh yeah, and what's all this BS about "The environmental effects working in BG: Dark Alliance would bring your friend's fastest PC to a crawl. It could be years until the PC can do all of the things that you'll see in BG: Dark Alliance." I saw those screenshots and they're nothing special. It seems the developers haven't seen a Geforce 3 before. Read this if you don't know what I'm talking about. This is where I learned about this (somewhat late, but whatever): http://www.dagameboyz.com/g/preview_278_p1.html |

As a PS2 owner, I am very happy
As a PC owner, I am very sad. As a FR/RPG players, I feel it should be on PC, because Dark Alliance only has you playing as one man rather than as a party, and its more of an action/adventure than strictly RPG. (Think Tomb Raider meets Baldur's Gate) However, the graphics are amazing and I sincerely hope its as gun as it looks. I hope that future FR titles follow in BG II's footsteps, however, because its one hte finest game I've ever had the pleasure to play. I wouldnt worry about Dark Alliance. Its just a blip on the future of RPG gaming. More titles will hit PC, you'll see. |

I can't believe they would even say that publicly! Years before is right, because when BG came out it was well overmatched to Dark Alliance. Now, if they compared this game to BG2, well I don't think their game would be hitting the shelves. What fun is adventuring with a single character? Especially at such a low level. Yea, the graphics may be good, but what about the gameplay?

I don't think this game can even compare to the PC Baldur's gate series. I saw those screenshots and the graphics aren't that great. I think you can't really copy a great game like baldur's gate and make a good game out of it on PS2.

Most of the playstation games are action, because you can't really control an RPG on it. (Most of the RPGs are controled only with the mouse).
