OK just booted up sacred 2 remastered (loved sacred 1 and 2) and got greeted to a screen about modern audiences being offended... Lmao... Why is this even needed. Some boob armor making dweebs feel like Smithers from the Simpsons.. Or what is it? Lol

I'm just glad it's not censored then. Was a concern. Now onto the game. Glad it didn't cost much, I have a pc, Xbox copy and a ps3 copy I can't play due to broken system. Not going to lie, wish this was on the switch 2. Will quad dip if it comes over.

 

[Ceadeus]

Wait, it's out?

What!

Edit: i also wish for a Switch 2 version..

At least they didn't go full retard (i.e. full Disney):

It's a big turd of a demaster. Don't bother.

 

[Futaleufu]

Looks like many of the PhysX effects and interactions are missing from this "remaster"

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

"Modern audiences"

PhysX things missing might not even be their fault. Didn't Nvidia kill PhysX with their driver update? I might have heard that wrong.

 

[DeepEnigma]

The "modern audience" does not exist.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Reads more like sarcasm and a subtle diss to "modern audiences".

 

[semiconscious]

The "modern audience" does not exist.

yep. & the individuals involved in authoring these notifications to protect the 'modern audience' continue to be employed only as long as they manage to convince their superiors that they are necessary because that modern audience actually does exist...

 

[winjer]

The world is healing.

 

[Plague Doctor]

You know what's even better?

Not changing content and not talking about it.

You win nothing by addressing this shit because the people you will attempt to appeae really want complete capitulation.

 

[Zathalus]

Pity the actual game is complete dogshit. The original game was basically the definition of jank mediocre ARPG, and apparently the remaster is a technical disaster on top of that.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Jeez, this thing is getting savaged. I somehow missed the Sacred games, despite being an arpg fan, so I was curious to try this.
Will wait for some patches and a deep sale.

 

[RedC]

At least they didn't go full retard (i.e. full Disney):

I'd rather this than it being censored, or worse, forever locked away in some vault never to be seen again.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Was the 2nd one part of the games with gold with xb360? I seem to remember it being in my library, but I don't remember actually buying it or playing it.
I've got the 1st game on pc cdrom in a box. Maybe I'm thinking about that one.

"Modern audiences"

The 50 series dont support physx anymore

 

[Ceadeus]

It's a big turd of a demaster. Don't bother.

Yeah... unfortunately, that was bound to happen after releasing such a lazy remaster. I've read that it doesn't even feature online matchmaking.

 

[grvg]

They chose to censor the physics instead, darn

 

[yansolo]

i bought the gold edition years ago but never touched it, i ended up playing this ps3 version and loved it. i was looking forward to this, what a shame.

 

[Honey Bunny]

I hope that is tongue in cheek

[keefged4]

It's a big turd of a demaster. Don't bother.

Ah man I was looking forward to this too. Disappointing.

 

[Kamina]

They should have written modern audiences in quotes, after all we all know that the people being offended are not really their audience.

 

[Holammer]

Let's read that like a lawyer.
"virtually unchanged" does not mean identical. So there's been changes.

 

[RaptorGTA]

Wait...

Isn't this game that Blind Guardian performs in?

oh...bad reviews..damn

 

[TintoConCasera]

So there's been changes

Yeah, and all of them for the worst, at least according to some Steam reviews:

Isn't this game that Blind Guardian performs in?

Yeah!

 

[pudel]

Yeah, and all of them for the worst, at least according to some Steam reviews:

Yeah!

 

[TintoConCasera]

Putting in the effort costs money.

At least, as MagiusNecros pointed out in the other thread, this shit still includes the original game. So anyone could just play that with some fan patches in there.

Console players should avoid this turd like the plague tho.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Can you imagine hyping up a remaster of a cult classic, and instead of making it better you just gut it and fuck it all up.

It's ok though. Sacred Gold is the better game.

 

[Durin]

I'll still take it as progress, given it doesn't go through all the self-flagellation to apologize to this imaginary modern audience.

Just says it might offend you, and done.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

At least they didn't go full retard (i.e. full Disney):

"The rich diversity of the human experience "

And by diverse we mean everything we like and nothing we don't. So bold, so brave.

 

[Fake]

Santa is more real than modern audience.

"Modern audiences"

PhysX things missing might not even be their fault. Didn't Nvidia kill PhysX with their driver update? I might have heard that wrong.

No the 50 series has no hardware support for cuda 32bit (which physx 32bit needs to work) every other series does. 50 series still supports cuda 64bit and of course physx 64bit which is what Arkham Knight uses.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Dudes are real pussies nowadays. Worry too much about offending people. Who gives a fuck. Those offended people never were your customers and never will be. Fuck em.

 

[Sooner]

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and they are making fun of people who might complain with the "modern audience" thing.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Apparently it's also a shit remaster, but like I've come to understand: playing the original game is just fine. These boo-shit remasters aren't for me anyway.

Hilarious that the devs thought modern gamers are such a pack of absolute fucking pansies that they couldn't handle the absolutely 0 offensive content in the original game. I guess we've come a long way - the original Sacred was censored heavily for the US in its first release and removed pretty much all of the blood.

 

[consoul]

"May be offensive to modern audiences"
That should on the front of the box as a selling point.
