Someone put together their own definitive edition trilogy using the original releases and some of the best mods for them. Grabbed it from one of the usual shady places to check out yesterday and so far my over all impression is "DAAAAAAAMN! :O ".
They look/play so much better than this new crap! Ok mebbe the new ones still have better lighting and more shiny, but damn the old ones modded up look and play great and a whole lot better than this garbage...IMHO.
Still gotta give the newest re-release of the official one a try, but it makes me so sad to play them. I feel like I have to though, just to know how deep the rabbit hole goes...y'know?
