Larian isn't just any studio.
yeah, it's a surprisingly shit studio
An epilogue is not an ending.
Remember how people shit on Mass Effect 3's ending and then they literally did the exact same thing Larian just did?
Yeah frick off.
People didn't complain about ME3 not having an epilogue, they shat on it for having a garbage ending that didn't acknowledge choice.
On the other hand no one complained about BG3's ending itself, but that it was abrupt and that there was no epilogue.
people shat on MH Rise for doing the same shit

**“There are many different endings. We wouldn’t do it any other way. How could you go through all three campaigns playing as your Shepard andthen be forced into a bespoke ending that everyone gets? But I can’t say any more than that…” **

“Every decision you've made will impact how things go. The player's also the architect of what happens."
“You'll get answers to everything. That was one of the key things. Regardless of how we did everything, we had to say, yes, we're going to provide some answers to these people.”
**“Because a lot of these plot threads are concluding and because it's being brought to a finale, since you were a part of architecting how they got to how they were, you will definitely sense how they close was because of the decisions you made and because of the decisions you didn't make” **

**“For people who are invested in these characters and the back-story of the universe and everything, all of these things come to a resolution in Mass Effect 3. And they are resolved in a way that's very different based on what you would do in those situations.” **

“Fans want to make sure that they see things resolved, they want to get some closure, a great ending. I think they’re going to get that.”
**“Mass Effect 3 is all about answering all the biggest questions in the lore, learning about the mysteries and the Protheans and the Reapers, being able to decide for yourself how all of these things come to an end.” **

Interviewer: [Regarding the numerous possible endings of Mass Effect 2] “Is that same type of complexity built into the ending of Mass Effect 3?” Hudson: “Yeah, and I’d say much more so, because we have the ability to build the endings out in a way that we don’t have to worry about eventually tying them back together somewhere. This story arc is coming to an end with this game. That means the endings can be a lot more different. At this point we’re taking into account so many decisions that you’ve made as a player and reflecting a lot of that stuff. It’s not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C.....The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them.”
“We have a rule in our franchise that there is no canon. You as a player decide what your story is.”
Completely different anon and you know it
Maybe Its because the original mass effect 3 ending was actively worse then having no ending the game had 3 games worth of building up to this ending and the devs promised your choices actually mattered in the previous games when ultimately they didn't matter whatsoever. bg 3 on other hand has a ok ending that just showed what happened to everyone which is still better then mass effect 3's original ending which was basically choose your flavor of mountain dew.
Could be worse
This fight was still sik tho reminded me of when i use to watch dbz as a kid
We have reached the point where the norm is for devs to release a game unfinished and then patch in the content which should've been there originally, and the buyers will fellate them to no end for it. Why do gamers have such little self-respect? In what other industry could you get away with business practices like this?
The reason you've not heard about the ending being bad is all the shitposters complaining about BG3 never actually played the game.
There are numerous problems with BG3 but as soon as someone says "Act 3 is empty" you know they're an insufferable shazamposter and their opinion is invalid. Most of the regurgitated talking points about this game are either made up or you need to try very hard to get them.
I would have no issue with this if they werent dishonest about early access
it's OK when Larian does it!
excuse me, samegay, but this time it's free and coming not too far after release.
The extended cut dlc came out 3 months after me3 came out and it was also free.
have a nice day.
People hated the ME3 ending because everything involving the Crucible was shit, the lack of a true epilogue was just a minor complaint (which is why people still hate it even after the release of the DLC)
ME3's ending sucked so much it became controversial because the grand finale of their epic "choices matter" triology was literally just three different colors in the same cutscene so bioware had to scramble to put out a patch to explain what the frick actually happens, and it still isn't very good. Also they along with their media goons tried to put the blame on entitled gamers all the while
Remember when Monster Hunter Rise added its ending in a Title Update?
>Remember when Monster Hunter Rise added its ending in a Title Update?
That's literally every monster Hunter G/Ult version moronio.
Why do i need some words that tell me everyone lives happily ever after?
Is minthara romance in the game yet? If not i don't care what the epilogue says
>why would a story need closure?
I swear this game must be hypnotizing people or something. Even fricking bug fix patches for this game have people creaming themselves over it and licking Larian's boots. I feel like I'm going insane seeing the unnatural levels of praise it keeps getting, especially when Act 3 exists.
just some average shills/bots and redditors
Lmao why the frick would a singleplayer game not have 'offline mode'??
more AAA singleplayer games force online on you each passing year, I don't play most (or maybe even any) of that shit but it's there and it's getting more popular to force it on the player
Its free anti piracy mostly and lets em have more stores and shops in game. cant blame em
Man, what a shift of expectations consumers have experienced.
>I CAN PLAY OFFLINE???? GOTY GOTY GOTY
that's reddit's attitude with any game, if you buy one and it doesn't make your pc explode you should just be grateful for what you and thank the devs profusely. Unless the game is too hard, in that case you should cry about gatekeeping and all that
>that's reddit's attitude with any game
You make it sound like this place is any different.
But yeah, BG3 fanboys are fricking morons.
>Dude! This game doesn't have any of the shit that every modern game has!
>Literally has pre-order bonus with in-game items.
Greed and having the ability to pull the plug on your product once you're ready to release the next one.
Still no logical counter-argument
this has been refuted countless times
Than you have no problem posting one such argument, right?
A druid polymorphing into a child appeals to pedophiles, a druid polymorphing into a bear is an obvious joke that appeals to nobody because nobody actually wants/would be able to frick a bear. Pretty simple to understand.
>if bear isn't zoophilia then child isn't pedophilia
You didn't refute the logic, you tried to appeal to it being a "joke".
Then you wouldn't mind if such a joke was made with orin taking form of a child, right?
Zoophiles don't want to frick literally any kind of animal you moron.
>zoophiles frick only select few specific animals!
moron
of course they do you fricking dumbass.
>nobody actually wants/would be able to frick a bear.
wrong
A druid polymorphing into a bear appeals to zoophiles, a druid polymorphing into a child is an obvious joke that appeals to nobody because nobody actually wants/would be able to frick a child. Pretty simple to understand.
>nuh uh you're wrong
oh no no no... I got BTFO... how will I cope...
You can start by killing yourself, zoophilic freak.
You first, pedo.
>freak is projecting again
No, seriously. have a nice day. Your own family will be grateful for removing the massive burden you are on them.
>I'm totally not a pedo dude, the fact that I spend my time arguing on Ganker that being able to frick children in video games should be ok is just a coincidence!
sure bro
You got blown the frick out and projecting your own freakish nature no longer fools anyone.
No idea why did you come back for seconds after running from the thread in tears once already.
>gets BTFO because they have no argument besides "no u"
>has to resort to calling everyone who disagrees with them a troony to pretend that they won
Sad!
>cries about being called a troony in response to a post that simply calls him a freak
What a curious thing to say, what did he mean by this?
I accept your concession.
>seething this hard
Yea, you got BTFO'd big time.
literally not once
>look mom, I posted it again!
holy based Larian making pedos seethe
>get btfo'd everytime its posted
>go into frothing rage because of it
>h-haha, y-you p-p-posted it again!
holy projection
>xir's so assblasted he started trying to use "no u" unironically
>look mom! I still have no argument!
But you still felt the need to respond, looks like he's not the one seething and in fact cells you out
This shit short circuited my friends brain kek
Tell us more anon
They do this every game. Come back in a year and it will be a whole new game.
This game is getting shit on for that too, you just might not have noticed because it's drowned out by people shitting on this game for it's various other failures.
>epilogue =/= ending
Ganker is especially moronic today
You should be shit on for making such a stupid post.
They could've done a Microsoft and release Starfield and Forza Motorsports without any fun content, boring main story, and after 4 months release one patch which just fix the performance issues of the game
Lmao, the game didnt even have an epilogue? And people are talking about it being a masterpiece? What the frick is wrong with them
instead of finishing the game they just replay act 1 over and over
>Zoomers on Ganker think this is the first time its ever happened
Capcom and Cyberconnect2 called they did it first over a decade ago
It's ok except when larian does it.
>Shitting on a studio for adding post release content for free
What a moron
They get away with it because they haven't had any massive frick ups. they didnt have a ending so bad the fans were pissed off and they had to shit out a new one to calm them down or try and make people pay for it like asura's wrath. honestly the original ending was about average for a crpg I think its why people are more forgiving of them adding epilogue after launch.
i was thinking about the concept of patches the other day and the times I was softlocked or bugged out of my game during 00s
we actually have it so good, but games are succumbing into being marketing stunts 90% of the times
such is the future I guess
Where's the Upper City, Swen.
You want 500 hrs game? Act 3 is already ~50% of the game and we don't have the Upper City and the north-east part of the Outer City (Little Calimshan, Norchapel etc).
