'Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition' Returns to App Store Following Contractual Dispute

Nice, but $9.99 is too expensive. I'll wait for a sale.

Are you aware of what Baldur's Gate is? It's a huge, complex RPG ported from the PC. It's not you're traditional dumbed-down iOS game. $10 is a steal.

Based on that review, sounds like it's worth waiting for the patch (and reviews about whether the touch controls are better) before buying it.

That's what I took from it too.

Oh I know exactly what Baldur's Gate is. I've bought and play the PC versions. It's just not a game I'm willing to pay $10 for to play on my iPad. I'm just saying, I'll wait for a sale.

Value judgments on apps are so messed up I can actually see what you're getting at, even though I own BG:EE and can tell you it provides the same value as a $10 game on Steam. I also hemmed and hawed a bit. It's a great story with hours of gameplay and a completely new UI. It's also buggy as hell but I found work arounds and I'm sure they've patched many of them out since then.

Here's one thing. Enhanced Edition has a second really fun campaign that's basically an arena fight within an RPG framework. I've played through in about five times as you level really quickly and fight fun enemies. It's a great way to test different group makeups. If this campaign were its own app, it'd easily be worth 4 or 5 bucks.

The patch that was on the way before the problem occurred seemed to be a real improvement. I hope it is not far from release now.

Good. That means there is a future for BG2EE after all.
