Waiting for the Android version ...
might play the pc version tho in the meantime

PC is the only *real* gaming platform in there anyway. In any case, I'd rather have a buggy mess and actually have the decision to play or wait for fixes, rather than waiting for some douche in an office some place to click "approve this app" in between tweets and FB status updates when it was fixed a week ago.

PC FTW again.

Doesn't seem so enhanced to me, but I'll get Planescape Torment EE if they ever release it.

Oh come on.... i have to buy this game for the 4th time? (have it in 2 languages and also in dvd format)...
OK!

People who got the game on GOG should be able to get this version for a discount otherwise the publishers are being jerks.

Publishers can be jerks when they got such a good game for sale. Thats when you know a game is good, hen customers dont mind spending money on the same product again and again.

Argh! Android but no Linux version. That seriously sucks.

Not me, big fan of solid software releases myself, even if they are late.

I liked BG2 more than 1. Icewind Dale series was good too.

 

[borisof007]

BG2 was definitely the king of RPG's. Immersive story, large world, plethora of classes, options, items, spells, and more.

Great artwork, great design.

If they ever make another baldurs gate (a true sequel, not necessarily a remake) hopefully it'll stick to the original formula that made it great. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

borisof007 - exactly.

Look at how many things weren't broke in Diablo 2, which Blizzard decided to completely change for Diablo 3. A perfect example of what NOT to do.

They then spent millions in marketing videos and such to explain to everyone how the old system (already a massive commercial and critical success, for over a decade) was somehow "wrong" and their new approach would be "so much better".

This Christmas, an afternoon has been set aside to fire up some Diablo 2 co-op. Diablo 3 is not even up for consideration.

yay, now show us a developer who didn't have a multi billion $ success and how they improve games.
the less money devs have, the more they focus on making one market happy and not taking a shotgun and trying to hit everything.
