"Baldurs Gate 2?"

Just wondering what people think of this game as a 2 player co-op?

Not really into beardy turn-based RPG nonsense, but I do like Gauntlet. Not looking for in depth combat systems with magic and skill points and all that kind of nonsense, I just want to kick the crap out of some monsters and by the sounds of that's what this game's all about. SO would I be happy with this game or is it too in depth and anal for its own good?

No need to take it so personally Whitestripes, looks like I hit a few nails bang on the head though.

I dunno, i thought the game was a bit average, i had to use my pure LOTR fanboyism to finish it.

True enough. But you have also resorted to said stereotypes Mr Pot.

Personally I like both types of games. Although fighting and point clicking with the mouse wasn't my idea of a great experience.

Well I do have to be careful in summer, cause I have very fair skin and burn easily.

I was using an example to show how stupid it is.

Stereotype much?

Ever thought that maybe they're more for casual gamers who don't have time to sit in front of their PC for hours on end buildiing up their elven warlords to take on the clan of beardy beards?

Resorting to them to prove a point is still resorting to them.

Well you've clearly never considered that RPGs with things like, depth (GASP!) might be for people who enjoy a long and rewarding experience that provides excellent gameplay, a decent story and well developed characters.

I'm sorry who are you talking to now?

Try quoting messages/elements of messages you're replying to.

I like both types.

I have...but then I remembered the social lepers that hang around in Games Workshop painting their ogres and I reverted back to that line of thought.

Baldurs Gate in essence is D&D. The console version just makes it less obvious by making it a hack and slash and doing away with a lot of the more RPG style nonsense usually found in these types of games.
