This time I was kidding with 007...

*...you\'re not a good 007*...

However I don\'t consider DA a port.

Post by: Sublimesjg on March 13, 2002, 10:20:46 AM: how is it not considered a port

i mean it is under the same name and title - if they add something extra it is still just a port.

so what do you mean you dont consider it to be one?

Post by: pstwo on March 13, 2002, 11:13:04 AM: Great news! I haven\'t bought this game yet but it got good reviews so this time I might get it. :D
Title: Baldur\'s Gate: Dark Alliance for Xbox.
Post by: AlteredBeast on March 13, 2002, 11:26:36 AM: BG: DA is not a port, it was built GROUND UP for PS2. It will be a port to the XBox, but will most likely feature some extras, like nearly all ports to the system so far.

are you kidding? :)

we refer to DA for PS2.

Post by: Watchdog on March 13, 2002, 12:23:36 PM: It is not even close to a port on the PS2. Have any of you played the PC version? Obviously not.

Post by: cloud345 on March 13, 2002, 12:30:49 PM: M$ isnt going to sell to much stuff when the games they are selling are mostly already on the ps2. And most people have a ps2 so if they also have a x-box why buy a game twice?

If you like the game and don\'t have a PS2...you\'ll buy the game...
...if you have a PS2 but you have to buy other games first...you could wait for the best version...

Post by: seven on March 13, 2002, 12:47:50 PM: well regardless of my (perhaps a bit) negativ comment further up about it being yet another port - it\'s still good news for all those who don\'t have a PS2. I myself haven\'t played it yet, but from what I\'ve seen it\'s quite nice. :)

No problem:)

...and yes...BG: DA is said to be a Great Game!

Like someone said, it was built on PS2 from the ground up. (Think a PC to PS2 port would look this good? No way José)

BGDA built for PS2
BGDA ported to Xbox (and GC) from PS2

Post by: ddaryl on March 13, 2002, 06:01:16 PM: there will be alot better titles on XBox to pick up over BG: DA by the time it releases
Title: Baldur\'s Gate: Dark Alliance for Xbox.
Post by: Paul on March 13, 2002, 07:45:37 PM: BG:DA is NOT a PC port. Period. Grrrrr...

Anyway, I think it\'s a pretty good dungeon hack&slash. It\'s nothing like the PC BD games(which I think is very lame - puny graphics + confusing story + map too big for it\'s own good and your party have to walk like minutes from one end of the town to the other just to get something!).

Anyone who enjoys Diablo series(I do!!) should get this game. I\'m going to buy this game maybe the next 3 months, after I finish off my current catalog(FFX,DMC,MGS2 etc..) first. :)
