“Great game, can’t wait for that sequel”
- me, nearly 20 frigging years ago
That was me, too.
And then, 6 years ago when they showed it at E3 : “Wait, what?.. Uh, I’m good Ubisoft, I don’t need whatever this is anymore.”
And then of course it disappeared again anyway.
So you are the one who wished it away! You can’t run away now! Everyone catch him!
😁 Sorry not sorry!
Nah, I wouldn’t even wish it gone, really. I just couldn’t care even a bit about anything they had to show that day.
BG&E was that charming single-player adventure game, with quirky and lovable characters and a tiny handcrafted universe. And with a non-ending that begged for a direct sequel.
What they showed in that E3 preview was yet another freaking Ubisoft open-world. It was supposed to be planet-level huge, because of course it was powered by boring procedural bullshit. It was always online, multi-player oriented, and “if you really want it, you could play it alone, but why would you?”
Oh, and it was a prequel with different characters, because fuck your closure I guess.
If video games had a Dr. Eliot’s Five-Foot Shelf of Books this would certainly sit on that shelf.
What a great game and experience.
I wonder if you can invert the y-axis independently in this version. I remember picking up the remaster on Xbox 360 and still having it invert the x-axis as well. Maybe the third time is the charm?
Played nearly to the end of the story on steam over a decade ago. Then a save bug messed my play through so badly i needed to start from the beginning again. I gave up. Always waited for a remake.
I always wanted to play it as a kid, guess now is my chance. :)
