The best decade for PC RPGs was 1997-2007; from Fallout, to Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, Morrowind, Fable, Oblivion.
I agree. Diablo 1 & 2, Dungeon Siege 1 & 2, NWN 1 & 2, Baldur's Gate series (incl. Icewind Dale), Torment, Temple of Elemental Evil, Sacred, Nox, etc. Not to mention console games such as the Zelda series. Edit: WOW!! I forgot to mention Morrowind and Oblivion. *HOW DARE I* . LoL
@@Jawn15 I personally loved Oblivion. It wasn't better. It was more broad. Skyrim was MASSIVE and I enjoyed that as well. More to do in Skyrim. But was it better? It's subjective.
@@HazVsRPG No, no way - no legit outlet can stock it. And nzgameshop in UK have now run out of stock ... 😲 So I'll be waiting for maybe a sale on US PSN, or a possible UK restocking.
The thing I loved about NWN is that it feels like an action RPG, you can play lone wolf, and there isnt an insane amount of text. So many of these CRPGs try to force you into playing with with a party and have you reading pages and pages of text. I really hope BG3 allows for lone wolf play as controlling a whole party hurts immersion of the experience.
It would be great to see a comparison between PC and console versions. In have a bad habit of buying the same game on Xbox ,Steam, and GoG and then hitting analysis paralysis when deciding which version to play! Xbox games are played on my comfy couch with a controller and huge TV PC games are played from my computer desk with a 49” monitor using controller or keyb/mouse.
Oh i get this totally too haha!!! Nice one! I also have the 'consoles are for the couch / lounge and pc is for my room, keyboard mouse kind of mentality!
I never played this but I always wanted to. I'm a huge Baldur's Gate fan and just started as a thief on the PS4 version, never had an issue with thieving skills on the controller.
What you said at 2:53, applies not only to Tomi but also to the other henchmen you want to hire to defeat the enemies together with your own character.
Any way around this, Or is it a constant pain? I do want to play this, but if my team mates just charge everything I can see that as a major frustration.
I'm having a somewhat difficult time understanding this game. Any chance you can make a "how to play" video for this game and maybe future games (just for the hell of it)?
This is a really interesting idea. I have never really thought about it to be honest. What difficulties are you having with it?? Help me to understand what you would be looking for in a video like this because I'm actually interested!
I think the PS4 version is very good when players get the hang to controls and combinations. Of course I see clearly it can be quite a nightmare for a sorcerer/wizard type of character with radial menus and quickslots. What I don't like is that the Hordes of the Underdark crashes pretty often. I bought it from PS Store for 9 euros. Of course I have bought it for pc long long time ago but I have trouble running it on windows 10 so I have to rely on the PS version.
Goldbox D&D is what I cut my teeth on!! But tbf the greater RPG community doesn't even know or has heard of them, Neverwinter Nights is 'arguably' the game along with Baldurs Gate pretty much put D&D in the sights of gamers. At least that's how I was meaning it :D
Glad you're having a good experience on PS4. Me, less so. All the edges of my UI have fallen off the screen so I can't see the left column of my inventory or read the bottom row where the text appears when you fight/interact with things. I also encounter frequent crashes when zoning to/from the city core and it even took 4 loads to access the merchant's house in the Peninsula district. At lease the game loads quickly, I would recommend you save before going through any doorway that leads to a loading screen. Not what I expect when playing a 20 year old game on a PS4 Pro.
I have had this happen maybe 3 tines so far also. Along with 3 crashes out in the open. Shadows of the Undrentide was more unstable! I do remember the original game being unstable also, but I hope they can work on this a BIT!!
@@HazVsRPG At least it's not just me! The height of instability appears to happen in multiplayer. I play with my SO in the same room on 2 different PlayStations and every time I try to enter the same room/zone I have a 75% chance of crashing, minimum! In 30 minutes of attempting to play, I crashed 5 times, lost all my multiplayer characters, had to load a single player game, resave the character and try to join again. Exhausting, which is why we only lasted 30 mins of coop play.
All I want to know is... why did they remove the mouse cursor in menus? As in not in a game but setting one up. They actually went out of their way to remove a cursor.
NWN was so different from BG Infinity engine. But have many good features and eyes candy to look at. The combat animation is so great (character can avoiding, parring, blocking depended on enemy action) its so dynamic and beliveable i really love them. Shame that NWN2's animation design choice didn't reach this level.
@@HazVsRPG I agree with op. I feel NWN 1 is better. NWN 2 had a different Ui that seemed VERY watered down. The game was heavily designed around having a closer view. Plus NWN 2 was made my Atari and Obsidian. It was not made by Bioware. I felt that NWN 2 was entirely a different game. The viewing angles are way off, the character selection is empty feeling, the toolbar is not reminiscent of NWN 1 whatsoever. I found the graphics looked nicer in NWN 2 but the game and physics were more clunky and clumsy. I still have and play the game. But when you make a perfect masterpiece, how do you beat that? It's like movie sequels. The visuals get better but the story and breath-taking attempts are detrimental to the product itself. Just my take on it.
One of the best dnd games before Baldurs gate 3 especially on pc unlimited content you can download I had no clue this was on console but the reason why it’s so great is the custom content
Just got it on the switch last night, on sale for 20 bucks snagged one for myself and one for my wife, also any thing you have the name of highlighted you can click your right trigger to see what actions you can use/use against them, if they are henchmen you can set the behavior
Hey, how come your stream of this game isn't on RUclips? ;-) I think it might be too late to watch on Twitch since it was years ago. I doubt it's still up.
It's still in the archives on twitch, it's a lot of work to yet everything over here to youtube. There is thousands of hours of streams forever rotting on twitch where noone will ever watch them. It's terrible!
More hours than I care to admit playing multiplayer. Years spent with the same group across multiple worlds. Hundreds of hours playing just the campaign and expansions. Got the switch version.
Never played it,looks interesting maybe play after I finish Baldurs Gate, which I'm now on the second game, and gdamn, it's much more tense and the characters are so much better in 2,
Nice video, Sir. I have a few Bugbears with the PS4 version (pun intended). Firstly, I can't assign the Stone of Recall to a quick slot (before/after in bag). Second, it's slightly annoying that the inventory and journal are in the Options button menu. Why didn't they assign them to the two unused d-pad buttons? I completely agree with the NPC's going off on their own (and usually getting killed in my experience), and the way you command them (to guard/attack nearest etc). It'a almost full price here in the UK, but I didn't mind paying due to the overall content included. If Beamdog could patch the controls (afore mentioned), this would help greatly.
Yeah the stone of recall thing is a damn good point. I'm always using it!! I think triangle instantly opens the inventory, but there's no quick button for journal.... I don't think?!
Gamepad yes, UI scaling, there are a couple of different UI sizes that are possible yes! The sizes given arent exactly what i would call optimised, but they do the trick well enough!
Wait... Multiplayer is still in!? I'm not just hearing things, am I? If that's the case... hey - I can put up with "dated graphics" - which - in my opinion, are part of the game's charm - back then, and nowadays.
Huge Thank you for this Haz. Been excited since we cought one of your streams and you said the controls for this handled even better then Baldur's gate. Also thanks for still putting content out on you tube. Send Brain and Old Man Haz our best too :). Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and the lovely Mrs good Sir.
@@HazVsRPG we appreciate that even tho you have a following on twitch and toys we look forward to buying come 2020 you never forgot youtube :) and the fact the10- 12 hour time difference makes seeing your stream hard for us in central us sadly.
Thanks for a very good review/buyer guide. Had it on pc back in the day, and really want it for my PS4. But think i will wait for the price to drop, About 65$ here now 🤔
@@kittywampusdrums4963 no, it's not! Sad! And I think it's definitive that it will not be added either!! I wonder why that is tbh, could really revive the community!!
Once they add the real multiplayer to this game with raids and grinding and stuff like the old PC version I'll buy it. I just can't justify 47.99 for campaign only. Multiplayer on pc was mesmerising. I always remember being told it literally doo doo'd all over WoW at the time, and I was only 12 when I played this game. Some of the fondest memories ever. A random high level guy took me through dungeons and stuff and let me join his guild, don't get that friendliness anymore
I don’t know how to copy a spell from a scroll to my Wizard’s spell book...this was easy in Baulder’s Gate...any advice? It’s a quick way to pick up previously unknown spells & add them to my spell pool.
The commands dont work, no. They just take off, sometimes you have to continuously issue the commands also. Can get really frustrating on a controller!
@@HazVsRPG Yup the game is a mess and judging by replies on their forms they really do not seem to scare. I doubt I will be purchasing anymore Beamdog games.
There are virgins who live in their mother's basement that could have put out a more cosmetic pleasing EE than Beamdog. It's hard to look at, and hasn't aged well at all.
The expansion packs were much better than the game itself (esp . SoU) which was mostly running around fighting stuff based on DND principles...I found it boring. NWN 2 however...THAT's a game I really would like on PS4 soon.
How do I adjust my UI on my tv screen playing on Xbox one btw the words are cut off my screen and I can’t adjust the talk menu on the bottom what are the buttons any help would be appreciated.
@@HazVsRPG okay thank you for screen adjusting I just had to use my Samsung universal remote and press pic change how ever the talk menu is still kinda big again thanks for the help.
Honistly ive only played never winter nights on the pc and i didint get vary far in the game so i dont know much and im planing on geting it when i get a swim light bc my ant smashed my ps4 but i wanted to make sher it was werth it

Anthony A. P. Dellaquila never had to in the original. Assuming you are buying the disc copy. By law they need to state on the box if it requires internet/subscription
Personally, I could never get past the dated look. It was the time between 2D background against sprites and/or primordial 3D models and games like Spellforce, Divinity OS etc. Anyway, informative review, as always. Sounds like Beamdog could have used some button combo or dedicated option within the radial menu to stop your henchman in his tracks as well as provide explicit location feedback. Furthermore, I wish they would have ironed out those ancient bugs (numerous bugs were in vogue with complex CRPGs back in the day). Finally, off topic: How are folks on the main islands holding up since Whakaari volcanic eruption? Stay safe.
I have since found a radial menu catch for henchmen, it's not quick however. It involves pressing the touch pad, hovering over Tommy while holding one of the triggers and selecting a command. Impossible to do real-time as the cursor has to be right on him and in combat he moves around like a maniac causing numerous attacks of opportunity!! So something is there, but it is cumbersome! Thanks for asking about the volcano heh, nz is very large white island is quite a ways off shore, so new Zealand is very much unaffected at all. I don't watch the news so I didn't hear anything until people in the stream told me 👍
@@HazVsRPG Yea, that game was truly meant for Hotkeys & Mouse. Keep up the great job and I am glad to know that the mainlanders are remain safe. Cheers.
Can you give an update as to weather the multiplayer is alright? I always liked the capture the flag PvP. And some other PvE servers. Last time I heard anything about it my friend said the multiplayer is all roll play "porn" type servers.
I'm playing it on mobile and the online works mint people have MMOs they've made up on there it's awsome I havent seen any porn rp but I havent gone looking xD
Performance for me was amazing, constant framerates the whole time. The big issue I had was crashing, as I've tried to make clear in my newest vid : ruclips.net/video/nl0KKFUOkc8/видео.html
Fair enough! It's not for everyone, it's a d&d 3rd edition slow burn kind of experience. There is and absolute tonne of content in this pack, enough for 250+ hours or more. Multiplayer community I'm guessing will pick up as well!
HazVsRPG Are the Singleplayer campaigns that come with it solid enough though? I am curious since I received the game for both Switch and PS4 and plan to use it in between BG1/2 playthroughs since I just finished Throne of Bhaal a week ago.
@@TowerBooks3192 I would say give it a try, if It doesn't tickle your fancy, give it a miss. I'm right in the middle of the original campaign now and loving it, but then, I am a long time fan of the slowness of it heh!
Much more accessible especially when compared to BG or the other infinity engine games. Also the fact it’s 3D helps. The online was awesome back in the day with all the stuff players would come up with and RP servers. That being said I think $50 is a little steep even given everything they are giving with it.
Towerbooks3192 a few of the last ones like Heir is Human and Dark Ranger are fairly short. Think of them like quest as opposed to a campaign. The Wyrm one and I think Witch’s Wake are more like expansions. I can’t remember but there’s a really cool one that has you choosing which of your fallen allies to resurrect to join your party. One also has a talking sword.
can't remember if this came out just before wow, or just after. but i remember having to choose between the two and i chose nwn. i tried WOW many years later.

Honistly ive only played never winter nights on the pc and i didint get vary far in the game so i dont know much and im planing on geting it when i get a swim light bc my ant smashed my ps4 but i wanted to make sher it was werth it
Really great, but buggy!! I hope patches will solve a lot of the stability issues!!
You probably didn’t get far because of your low reading and spelling skill. Stick with head to head fighting games or football
My friends and I cant do multiplayer thing. We dnk y. But we like it so far.
I need to try this and see for myself, I haven't even tried multiplayer yet!!!

Im not sure if that is possible but if you try definitely let me know!!
Playing Baldurs gate 1 and I killed a witch that was innocent for a fisherman
Get the job done!!
HazVsRPG wanna play neverwinter nights online
Dated is a understatement
It did look kinda dated when it first released hah....
does ps4 version have online??
I'm not sure if it does, it didn't at the time of playing this!!
@@HazVsRPG well at main screen can click the multiplayer button?
thn join internet
@@HazVsRPG o ok jsut wondering how is it playing with a contorller
Does the ps4 have crossplay ?
Unfortunately not :(
Is a internet connection needed to play the game? Thanks
I haven't encountered the need for it yet?! For multiplayer, obviously it is however!!
@@HazVsRPG thanks, i have no internet connection whatsoever so i can't play any game that requires one. Thanks again for the quick reply.
Anthony A. P. Dellaquila never had to in the original. Assuming you are buying the disc copy. By law they need to state on the box if it requires internet/subscription
@@BloodScorchedSun Thank you, just got it and it's fine.
@@anthonya.p.dellaquila8183 do u need the internet to play it online?
If only NWN had a decent remake.
Is there guun be mods?
There are some included, but I don't know about how much access there will be with the existing community!
Personally, I could never get past the dated look. It was the time between 2D background against sprites and/or primordial 3D models and games like Spellforce, Divinity OS etc.
Anyway, informative review, as always. Sounds like Beamdog could have used some button combo or dedicated option within the radial menu to stop your henchman in his tracks as well as provide explicit location feedback. Furthermore, I wish they would have ironed out those ancient bugs (numerous bugs were in vogue with complex CRPGs back in the day).
Finally, off topic: How are folks on the main islands holding up since Whakaari volcanic eruption?
Stay safe.
I have since found a radial menu catch for henchmen, it's not quick however. It involves pressing the touch pad, hovering over Tommy while holding one of the triggers and selecting a command. Impossible to do real-time as the cursor has to be right on him and in combat he moves around like a maniac causing numerous attacks of opportunity!! So something is there, but it is cumbersome!
Thanks for asking about the volcano heh, nz is very large white island is quite a ways off shore, so new Zealand is very much unaffected at all. I don't watch the news so I didn't hear anything until people in the stream told me 👍
@@HazVsRPG Yea, that game was truly meant for Hotkeys & Mouse.
Keep up the great job and I am glad to know that the mainlanders are remain safe. Cheers.
pisses me off they wont make a third game
I believe it will happen, but here's the thing. I bet it won't be anything like what we think it would be....
@@HazVsRPG Baldur's Gate 3 type situation hopefully, when I say that I mean rather that than the new D&D game failure
Can you give an update as to weather the multiplayer is alright? I always liked the capture the flag PvP. And some other PvE servers. Last time I heard anything about it my friend said the multiplayer is all roll play "porn" type servers.
I will investigate this, this weekend and get back to you!!
Multiplayer isn’t working for me
@@Maikeru101 same my friends and I cant get it 2 work. Tho like the game. Wish we could play together 😭
I'm playing it on mobile and the online works mint people have MMOs they've made up on there it's awsome I havent seen any porn rp but I havent gone looking xD
Its expensive compared to PC version, dunno why
I got it for Christmas and heard it had a shit performance and was unplayable. This prevented me from returning it.
Performance for me was amazing, constant framerates the whole time. The big issue I had was crashing, as I've tried to make clear in my newest vid : ruclips.net/video/nl0KKFUOkc8/видео.html
i rather play this thn the mmo rpgs version
The MMO is definitely not the same game, i was hoping for more, but dissapointed!!
Nice
HUD looks terrible. 🤯
Gameplay was really fun though.
Its like Far Cry of CRPG. 🤡
i just looked on the ps4 store and they want 47 pounds for a VERY old and dated game?
Thats too much!
I don't get the appeal of the game. Like I get how good BG 1/2 and the Planescape/IWD pack are but not this game.
Fair enough! It's not for everyone, it's a d&d 3rd edition slow burn kind of experience. There is and absolute tonne of content in this pack, enough for 250+ hours or more. Multiplayer community I'm guessing will pick up as well!
HazVsRPG Are the Singleplayer campaigns that come with it solid enough though? I am curious since I received the game for both Switch and PS4 and plan to use it in between BG1/2 playthroughs since I just finished Throne of Bhaal a week ago.
@@TowerBooks3192 I would say give it a try, if It doesn't tickle your fancy, give it a miss. I'm right in the middle of the original campaign now and loving it, but then, I am a long time fan of the slowness of it heh!
Much more accessible especially when compared to BG or the other infinity engine games. Also the fact it’s 3D helps. The online was awesome back in the day with all the stuff players would come up with and RP servers. That being said I think $50 is a little steep even given everything they are giving with it.
Towerbooks3192 a few of the last ones like Heir is Human and Dark Ranger are fairly short. Think of them like quest as opposed to a campaign. The Wyrm one and I think Witch’s Wake are more like expansions. I can’t remember but there’s a really cool one that has you choosing which of your fallen allies to resurrect to join your party. One also has a talking sword.
The console and mobile ports are garbage, they tore out half of the game made it more linear theres no way I would play this on anything other than pc
the mmo reminds to much of wow
can't remember if this came out just before wow, or just after. but i remember having to choose between the two and i chose nwn. i tried WOW many years later.
I still have nwn hotu on disc in box still but I downloaded enhanced edition on steam bc servers are back
@@StormBK 2 years before but the original gold box which is the first version of the game came out in 1991
Why would you buy one of the coolest PC RPGs on a console peasant machine?
To provide info for those who cant play it on PC :)
$17.49 usd PSN sale until June 13th 2024
Too bad you can’t have custom modules, some are awesome
So many peeps have come through saying exactly that! It really makes me wonder!
