Brilliant game. Totes will pick up.

 

[Silterpy]

I'll probably get it. Shadow of the Templars was the first Broken Sword game I ever played. It's probably my favorite one.

I think I still have my Shadow of the Templars cd somewhere so no thanks.

Man, last time I played a Broken Sword game, I used a Playstation Mouse,

 

[Phearoz]

Game is superb.

 

[JuanMena]

Best Broken Sword game!

I wonder if you get a discount if you already own the original remaster on steam? Dont expect a free upgrade, but a 40-50% discount would be nice. Broken Sword II was brilliant also btw.

This game is good, but "Unavowed" is better.

Oh man, I remember occasionally playing this on my big bro's PC many, many years ago, but always getting stuck 'cus that's how point and click games be, lol.
Might check it out, tho, they really could've used some other word aside... "reforged".
Just 'cus, y'know... the one other game with that uses that word too was basically hated by the entire world, eh.

Broken Sword is one of the grandfathers of modern point and click games. If it wasnt for Broken Sword, Monkey Island series, Sam and Max, Gabriel Knight etc. Unavowed wouldnt even exist. It might be a fun game in the genre, but it doesnt come close to the importance of SoTT

I used a PS/2 mouse for the demo of the first game way back when I still had Windows 95. Heck the first game even has a GBA port!

I'm not sure I'm convinced by how it looks, I guess I'll wait and see.

Got this on the Wii as a gift, played for maybe 20 hours but never finished it. Honestly felt like shovelware to me.

Shovelware! How dare you sir!

But seriously, i don't think I've ever came across anyone with that opinion before. I assume you're not a huge fan of point 'n' click? This is usually considered to be one of the best.

Setting the genre doesn't mean it's better. Look at the first StarWar, it didn't aged well - now it just looks silly.

Your entitled to your opinion but i guarantee more people would agree with me on this than you. ive played both and BS1 is still the far superior game. I admit some of it is nostaglia from playing it back in 1997 on my playstation, but it is a genuinely great point and click game.

You admit it's nostalgia, and you 'guarantee' more people agree with you? So people will agree with you that nostalgia clouded your judgement? People often think that a game or a movie is better back then than now, until they went back to play them again, then realized they didn't aged well.

Not a grammar police - but it is "You are" or "You're", not "Your".

I like this game way back then and played it on many different devices over the years, I enjoy these point and click adventure games.

Oh,... Mygad. Awesome news. Played it as one of my first PSX games back in the 90ies.
