I reinstalled the huge ME PC Enhanced edition to try it out for a few minutes, then remembered how annoying the storyline and forced dialogue is and uninstalled it. -_-

Does the gog version specify the differences? I’m pretty sure I remember the gog store page saying something about Ray tracing and if you don’t have a card that supports Ray tracing then don’t even bother with it.

Cool to see that Sword Art Online Integral Factor has been addressed specifically. Its PC port is extremely problematic...
