  • I don't understand, why you waste youe spells on goblins...

  • this game is so shit only losers like it

  • @AussiesRus1 You truely are an idiot.

  • @AussiesRus1 You, my friend, are too stupid to insult.

  • @AussiesRus1 , so you took time out of your day to go on the internet come to youtube type in baldurs gate gameplay watch this vid and say losers like it? Why go through all the trouble? Moron

  • @TheAtomBuster Maybe he got it through related videos?

  • 9/24/2000 - WE'LL NEVER FORGET

  • I bought BG 1 with no manual whatsoever and it confused the crap out of me. Is it worth trying to get into?

  • @Belwaer Yes, they are amazing games. Not complicated either, £3 on gog.com atm.

  • hmmm looks liek do not want

  • dude how do u make ur videos on frapes compressed cause i recorded like 30sec o a game and its size is 1gb???

  • i tried playing this recently andi just couldnt get into it by i usually like RPG's alot like KotOR is my favorite game ever, do you think its just cause im used to playing modern games? im only 15

  • 0:55 MSN ! xD

  • wooo This looks pretty old!

  • Mute your msn, and learn more how to play with BG2! :)

  • Now I'm a noob, so don't pummel me with your protective nerdness over this game, but I can't see the difference between Baldurs Gate and BG 2 ...

  • @aloeverabutikken As far as i remember, the difference is in the engine. BG2 could handle a larger resolution than BG, and a few more graphical things. BG2 also introduced more classes, spells, items (of course) and a higher lvl cap. Some BG spells were modified as well. I might have missed a few things.

    On a personal note, the introduced Wild Mage class was genious... GENIOUS!

  • ahhh. so nostalgic..

  • You should've muted your MSN...

  • I remember when these graphics were modern.. A friend playing Baldur's Gate even said to me "You HAVE to play it! It's almost like real life." :)

  • Was that your msn?

  • @TheHappyWhaleshark The graphics are Diablo style which I personally enjoy very much.

  • @TheHappyWhaleshark looks like no one agrees. dumbass

  • TOP VIDEO, MSN.... FRAPS MARKETING... BABY MUSIC .... NICE JOB BOY :D

  • i hate you joshimo D:

  • There is a mod called Baldur's Gate Trilogy that makes 1&2 into one game with 2's updated graphics engine. I recommend it if you want to have an epic session.

  • THEIR MAKING ELDER SCROLLS 5:skyrim .like next year.

  • The thing is, I could forgive Oblivion for being shallow if the gameplay was actually fun, but it isn't. It's shit. The entire game, aside from presentation, is shit.

  • Just watched a video of Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance. I think consolel gamers would have a heart attack just watching this video!

  • this game takes me back, and for the people that say it is stupid have no sense of gaming at all................. and for people that say its hard to pick up the game after playing top end graphical rpgs are not true rpgers at all because this game is the definetion of RPG!

  • What a stupid game.

  • @CROGrof Bet you LOVED Dark Alliance didn't you?

  • @MrLoadingscreen You needed to write that pretty long :P

  • maybe it's me... but after playing games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Dragon Age Origins it's very hard to pick up and play a game like this... those TOP rpg whatever lists are all biased in one way or another...

  • @gr4ndhustle Nobody who is happy to play retro PC cRPG's like this care, as they are to busy happy to be playing them and you are the only one missing out!

  • @gr4ndhustle Some people just don't like rpgs that much unless the graphics are there; I prefer BG-like games to Elder Scrolls type games (although I played Daggerfall forever way back in the day) I don't know, I just think the games are better overall. Oblivion has no personality at all, imo, a very lonely game. I grew up playing D&D so I'm fine with "imagination" over graphics. Actually, the graphics in BG 2 are pretty nice and look just fine especially with the high res patches.

  • @Ohmythatspainful Oblivion is a joke. Please don't mention that game on this page, it disgraces real RPGs. Oblivion is a shallow, polished turd, and anyone who embraces what a real RPG is all about knows exactly what I'm talking about, and those who don't are probably stewing reading this because they are too ignorant to realize the truth: your game is an overrated POS, put up on a pedestal by children who somehow enjoy randomly wandering through pretty graphics. Pointless crap, Oblivion is.

  • @imisssoundgarden I agree with you 100%; maybe you're talking to the wrong person? I hate Oblivion, I tried a few times to give the game a chance but... even with the best mods; what a lonely, lonely feeling, dull game. Oblahvion.

  • @imisssoundgarden Every video game thats an RPG is pointless crap, DnD is were its at.... thats real Roleplaying

  • @imisssoundgarden Oblivion is not the best game ever, thats true. But you have to realize that there is a sincere lack of next gen RPG's or at least pseudo RPGs on the market now days. I've been playing straight up table top DnD for about 5 years on now and its pretty fun, but whats fun for me might not be fun for the majority of players out there. The Elder Scrolls series has done more for the promotion of next gen RPG games than you could possibly imagine, so cool off a bit before you bash it

  • that is the worst thing i ever see in my life aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • @iraklis1313 me too :D:D

  • Don't waste your time here, If you want a cool original concept, full great voice acting, quality 2000 and before tactical gaming buy fallout 2, I might be biased here but I also think many of fallout 2's characters are far more interesting but that is just because they are so original like fallout 2 itself.

  • @madax132 Fallouts 1 and 2 are great, but are you really gonna totally disregard BG 2 like that, man? Come on :D

  • @Ohmythatspainful Yeah At the time Of writing I'm fairly sure I came off of a forum of baldurs gate 2 fans bashing fallout 2. It's a good game, if generic.

  • I played the demo for this. It was awesome, so I ordered both games (with expansions). Can't wait until they arrive.

  • Can you also go in Villages and trade and talk to the npcs like in Morrowind ?

  • is this game fun? it looks boring from the gameplay

  • Oh and I forgot to ask, is this game turn based or real time?

  • @438bloody It's based on AD&D -- so it is turn-based, however there are fractions of turns (for attacks and whatnot) and you can also pause at any moment and command each member of your party, if you so choose. I hope that answers your question.

  • Damn does this game look fun. My only problem is the fact that its all party based, requiring the micromanagement of multiple characters in one play-through. But, then again I have yet to have played this game, so once I get the money I'ma get it and see what its like.

  • @438bloody And yes... this game is exceptionally fun, with lots of fun side quests to do. This game is an RPG, one of the best out there, and it has an amazing story, too. So, I'd highly recommend buying it.

  • The graphics doesnt sucks...its art..it really feels like ur in a other world..diablo graphics are simple and not as much detail

  • this is the true RPG game.

  • I love this game!

  • GO FOR THE EYES, BOO!

  • Is the Mage Book supposed to look like a butt?

  • @ldelporte It is, a gimp follows you around with spell icons tattoo'd on his butt for you to memorize.

  • I´d play this game if I didn´t have to control a group of characters , hell , I hate that , I prefer games when you simply control 1 character and develop him , instead of having a look on like 4 or 5 of them and you have to care that noone dies , you don´t have time to fullfil the max. potential of each character then cause you have to look for the others or that they don´t die off <.< I HATE THAT

  • @Puddingforce

    Don't you know that you can pause the game at any moment to give orders, and that you can go on your own?

  • If you don't like this game, but love rpg's, then please, by all means, don't breed.  ... or speek.

  • man, this game souns awesome! I never played though! In fact I've never been much of a pc gamer... And it looks a difficult game to master the skills, pretty complex!

  • This game just sux! Diablo pwns this one...

  • @horiscax Idiot.

  • IWD is lot more better than this game

  • @TheSomeguy8874

    Not even close!

  • reminds alittle of Diablo is it alike????

  • haha I kept on checking my msn cus' of the sounds! XD

  • @KIDcanFLY haha same thing happened with me

  • looks alot like diablo 1

  • LOL this video kept making me check my MSN messenger : D

  • Im getting the four in one boxset. :D

  • shit game

  • Hey! someone is calling you on MSN

  • anyone who hasnt played a baldurs gate game should consider not judging it at all.

    best rpg series. together with fallout 2 bg 2 is the most kickass game out there

  • @horsthorstmann666 I dunno, Morrowind beats everything in my opinion, but these are great too

  • @MaMastoast Wtf your comment made me want to play.,,,

  • think they should release baldurs gate 3 when they are finished with other upcoming games :)

  • this game is for homosexuals

  • And do we have to pause when we fight?

  • @cloudinas

    no, but it's easier (yes i know it's 7 month old)

  • And do we have to pause when we fight?

  • Baldurs Gate II Shadow of Anm +Trone of Baal the Best Pnp RPG game.

  • BEST GAME EVEEEEER!!!!

  • best game! :)

    hehehehe msn go to talk :P

  • this game is similar to diablo?

  • general question:

    could you play Baldurs gate 2 without playing the first one and understand whats going on??

  • Yeah quite easily, but the first one is alot more enjoyable imo and there's alot of important story that unfolds in the first. If you're thinking of playing Baldur's Gate, play the first one first - gameplay and graphics are practically the same if that's your concern?

    For me, the story is what makes these games. The gameplay is also brilliant, always a challenge and requires alot of input/strategy

  • Thx. No graphics arn't a huge concern for me. I was really asking for the story

  • @Tethil

    Well... There is a mod that allows you to play BG1 with the BG2 engine.

  • @Tethil What was the name of your character in BG? My is green haired elf called Strummer Joe.

  • lolz msn XD

  • Baulder's Gate 2 is one of the greatest games of all time in my opinion.

  • @BiowareNut You're damn right it is. I've yet to play and RPG that comes close to it.

    Baldur's Gate forever!!!

  • @BiowareNut You're damn right it is. I've yet to play an RPG that comes close to it.

    Baldur's Gate forever!!!

  • I have this and Fallout 1&2 on my laptop for rainy days :)

  • dam,stupid messenger.xD

  • I played BD 2, but I don't like.

    Dragon Age ever :D

  • on of the best games ever !

  • Diablo 2 is better

  • @ForsakenZOL

    No, Diablo 2 is different. Diablo 2 and Baldur's Gate 2 are 2 of my favorite RPGs of all time.

    Diablo 2 is the most addictive, without a doubt and the most multiplayer friendly.

    Baldur's Gate 2 is a deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, the deepest role playing experience, matched only by Fallout 2 and i'm not to sure about that either.

    This game is a masterpiece, enough said

  • @Nekuriddo Personally I think this game takes a back seat to planescape torment.

  • @ForsakenZOL Diablo 2 is not half as challenging as this one, the story sucks, and the role playing element is really weak. It's fun, but doesn't come close in depth to baldur's gate.

  • @sorrysonofa I agree except for the PvP factor, D2 was the best PvP game ever to be release on console or pc, better than WoW,CoD,Halo or any other game.

  • omg you suck

  • 1 of the best rpg:)

  • Both are good games. I always wanted to play BG2 back in the day but it's probably too late now.

  • Probably my favorite game ever. Has everything, great story, great battle system, complex but not too much so, great characters, graphics (for its time) look great, especially the backgrounds...i could go on about this game, but its a shame they dont make em like this anymore

  • Find traps, anyone? :D

  • i like baldurs gate one its much better

  • jemhson, sorry man but your blinded by all the dicks you suck, thats why you cant understand the game

  • best game!

  • Awesome game!

  • no fuck u this game is better than any other RPG because with this game you need brains

  • that sentence does not make sense...now i know why you dont like Baldur's Gate

  • wtf? what u want anyways? wanna fight fool? i kill u man!

  • hahahahahahaahahahaha thats funny

  • lol n00b

  • So basically if you can't fully understand the game in 5 minutes, it sucks?

    Kids these days...

  • I don't know your age but if you're the kind of person who'll seek out BG2 videos in order to tell (pronounced "troll") everyone that the game sucks, then you must still be in kindergarten mentally.

  • beware man! obsession in a game may lead you to some kind of a mental disorder thats what they call BG freak or BG maniac and trust me kid it aint good to be called maniac, ur so loyal to this game that you insult people like me who dislike this game so much, remember kid this game is not your god to trust it so much to be the greatest game of all, explore other games first coz u aint paid by BioWare to insult people who dislike this shit!

  • So because I have played BG2 I haven't explored other games? I'm afraid you're not as omniscient as you think.

  • i have to agree with you...this game looks awful

  • yah thats true but im not really hatin this game for its graphics actually considering its made a long time ago but trust me man if u play this game you'll really hate the gameplay, awful gameplay I've ever seen.

  • i am not a graphic madman , cuz i played diablo II long time, even last summer i played it with some friends, one of the best game ever, but this game looks pretty static,it takes more time to set up the speels of a character then playing the game, don't know how to say it exactly...sorry 4 my english, i'm from romania :)

  • Ha-ha, it's Dungeons&Dragons system, you fool! Don't compare it with diablo-shit!

  • Diablo is only hack and slash game. You dont need to think during playing Diablo ;)

  • not really :)

  • @Del1010 Actually my friend you need to think while playng diablo... and allot. Please dont comment if you dont know :)

  • @raclariu it's like 10 years old by now...STFU

  • so..diablo II it's from 8 years ago...but i think diablo it's much better....i didn't said that i dont like this game, i didn't even played it...but from my view...it loks awful...but i heard many consider this game one of the best ever...whatever i got my opinion.u got urs :)

  • @raclariu The graphic engine is practically the same as diablo 2. Isometric sprite based RPG game. You can have a difference of opinion on which game is better , but aesthetically speaking there is no difference. Saying this game looks awful is saying Diablo 2 looks awful.

    I hope you understand the difference.

  • dude i meant the interface looks awful ! diablo is more simple, speaking of the interface , just mana/life bars and first click/second click spells :) hope u understand my english it's kinda bad cuz i'm from romania :)

  • @raclariu Diablo is a hack n slash RPG. BG is more of a strategic RPG. Diablo you control 1 character, BG you control a group of characters. Your group makeup is more important then the individual characters you bring. There is also crafting and a deeper story in BG. So the interface needs to be able to support that.

    Simple mana bars and some assignable mouse buttons aren't going to be enough.

    You want a fun evening play Diablo, you want a fun month of evenings play BG.

  • @ch3dder you're right here...i like games where you have a party, i played Dungeon Siege and even i finished Dragon Age yesterday, and i like games when you're playing on your own...maybe i don't like this game cuz i am tthe type of guy who likes more to fight (not all hack&slash games) not set up tactics...buuuut...told you i have finished dragon age , a game where it's important to know a few tactics and i have to say it's one of the best games i have ever played...

  • @ch3dder you get fun year whit diablo on bnet...

  • As you said, you never played it. So your view doesn't count. Go spam somewhere else.

  • Ooooh a cute little boy

  • @jemhson wtf? its fucking pure realism that this game is a great game..if u dont like it there's something wrong with u. I like other games too ofc..but this is one of the best games ive played. I dont know how old u are but maybe u were a little kid when this game was realesed in 2000..many kids these days cant play anything older than 3 years or so.

  • @jemhson and i would give a 8.5/10

    10 would be perfect

  • @Psykoosi86 yo i'd rather play brick game than this shit! wastin my precious time... and yeah this game is 10 yrs old since its release but seem like the graphics is older that 8 bits tetris, damn!

  • @jemhson

    Have fun with your bricks then.

    I guess you miss out on many legendary games if you judge games only by looks.

  • @jemhson Graphics don't make the game, kid. Baldurs Gate beat Crysis in all ways. And this game is legendary, if you havn't played this you should be ashamed of calling yourself a gamer.

  • @Tabe112

    i dont care about crysis coz it too suck like your face, and you said BG beats crysis IN ALL WAYS? that means including graphics? oh come on go home kiddo! and merry christmas and a happy new year to you!

  • @jemhson Did you even read the beginning of my comment? Come back when you can read, kid. Or go play with the toys you got for chrismas.

  • yeh a lot of ppl quit because they cant understand the game, but thats the point of the game its suppose to be smart and complex. i love it

  • @jemhson

    Aw, the poor little idiot got mad because he wasn't able to master the gameplay in the first 10 minutes, cry me a river. God forbid someone make a more complicated and deeper game than Diablo, one which actually requires thought and user input. Try reading the manual or spend some time learning the ins and outs of the system before you start crying about how it's too hard for you.

    Diablo is a fun game series, don't get me wrong, but it basically plays itself, "RPG for idiots".

  • omg you dont suck

  • gay

  • u have no idea how much influence this game had on modern rpgs, they'd be NOTHING without this.

  • UR GAY

  • yah its gay tell this people who likes this fucking game, there so stick to one or loyal to this game and saying this game is the best of them all without even exploring other games first.

  • hahahaha i thougt its my msn all the time xDDDDDD

  • lol msn

  • you should try disabling 3d acceleration, it might get rid of the hoirzontal grid marks you see in the graphics

  • BEST game EVER made. I love this game, no games can compare to the awesomeness and depth that this game has.
