A good sidekick can bring out the best in a hero. Whether it's providing support in combat, some light comedic relief, or unwavering moral guidance, they're able to make a protagonist's journey a little easier or at least more enjoyable.
However, a few of the most interesting sidekicks are cut from a stranger cloth. Designers seem to take more creative license with their tag-along characters, resulting in some bizarre and zany personalities that can overshadow their more straight-laced protagonists. These 10 sidekicks are the weirdest partners gaming's ever seen.
But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.
Baldurs Gate 1&2 were my games back in the day on PC. Icewindale and Neverwinter Nights as well
Square Enix has announced multiple classic Final Fantasy titles will receive physical releases this December;including Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX.
7,8,9 only Switch
7 remake & rebirth only PS5?
Is this accurate? Wish it was all for both.
Why can’t they just do a cool classic collection with VII, VIII and IX in with some goodies similar to what they did with the Pixel Remaster.
I would honestly go for a Remaster Collection, just AI upscale some textures (there are really good fan mods for that), widescreen everything where possible, higher native resolution, etc...
It seems like a no-brainer to make such a large portion of what was FF's golden age into a collection of it's own.
Weird that 7 and 8 are together for 40 and 9 is 40 on it's own.
8 should be the one on it's own as it actually has redone models.
I have ff8 ps4 remastered physical euro version. They should have put these on PS5 physically so lame.
I'm actually so tired of hearing about FFIX. Just replayed it with Moguri Mod earlier this month. That might as well be the definitive version.
Nintendo confirms that its mysterious Close To You video is a Pikmin animated short, featuring a baby and the iconic Pikmin in a heartwarming pacifier chase.
I would have said Johnson from Shadows of The Damned. He was extremely funny too :D
All I know is if I woke up in a morgue with no recollection of who I was i'd want Morte at my side. I'd go as far to say he is one of my favourite game characters.
Somebody make a bloody Planescape Torment sequel, please.
