I would say get the EE if it's your first time playing the game.

You should avoid the enhanced version of the first game because modding the entire thing into BG2's engine is a far better way to play it. For BG2, you can't really go wrong either way.

Soccer is boring, American football is boring.

I'm more of a handball guy, but any sport where stuff actually happens more than once every 30 minutes is gonna be better than fucking Soccer. Also, soccer players are assholes. The famous ones anyway...

Have a look at this, and then this. A few seconds later you can see trees on top of the first flying rock thing so it gives us an idea of its size. It's probably a few hundred meters long. From there you can extrapolate the size of the entire planet. For reference, this is what the earth looks like from the same relative distance. Even Mount Everest wouldn't appear as large as the rocks in No Man's Sky from that far. It's not just a small difference.

@curse_hawking: You can see the first planet when they leave the atmosphere at the very end of the trailer. It's just as small. The second E3 trailer also shows a few more, none of them look like actual planets. So yeah, of course this is just based on what they've shown but they've shown enough for me to be pretty confident that they're not going for realism.

And again, that's totally fine. I think it looks awesome that way.

Gas and dust in space indeed exist, but never that densly packed. You don't fly through clouds of gas in space. Nebulae appear dense to us because we see them in long exposure photographs taken from very far away, and on a very large scale. One pixel in a typical Hubble picture of a nebula is like 5 times as large as the entire solar system, at least.

Binary planets also exist, what I'm saying is that the two planets shown in the trailer are too small and too close to each other to be realistic. That's not an assumption, you just have to look at the trailer. I mean, you can see individual rock formations from space, and even from the surface of the first planet. It's pretty obvious.

You didn't say it would be a space sim, but you did say the galaxy would be 1:1 and no matter what the devs said I think that expectation is unreasonable based on what has been shown so far. I am personally super excited to play this game but I'm just saying people shouldn't expect it to look real.

OBJECTION! The planets in the E3 demo/trailer are actually very tiny, and so is the distance between them. Also asteroid fields don't exist and space isn't purple.

People shouldn't expect this game to be Space Engine: The Game. It won't be.

Whatever man, he already spent 3 games beating dudes up real bad and leaving them unconscious, lying in the snow with all limbs broken. The ones that didn't die of hypothermia or internal bleeding probably ended up in a wheelchair.

Batman is an asshole.

This is a very janky thread.

Did they say if it's 60fps?
