Don't even know who that is I just grabbed the most watched vids.
Everybody was talking about this. The fact that BG3 won the GOTY is extra hilarious.
Modern vidya devs are borderline scammers. They should be crunch timed to death.

Yeah that's why I didn't notice or give a frick. Piss off with this hyped up flavor of the week normalgay drama bullshit and go watch more asmongold.
I started off with AAA devs seething about BG3 on twitter. Youtubers just covered it. And I for once agree, since I kinda care about vidya industry. BG3 is not some super duper out of the ordinary game that CANNOT be replicated by the AAA parasites. It's the bare fricking minimum. And I'm glad the publishers saw it winning GOTY and will now rape their dev employees over the coals for not doing better.

Josh is a homosexual, no one wants voiced novels in games, it worked in divinity and bg3 because dialogue is short and not full blown novels like in poe trash.
Even reading in poe became tiring because most of it was just irrelevant shit.
Fricking agree. I have tried to get into PoE literally 3 times now and the opening act filters me every time. It's just endless text dumps over the most asinine shit. Apparently someone said they were backer characters or some shit, but how the frick am I supposed to know?
I have played all the classic CRPG's and read every line in Planescape Torment but PoE is insufferable to read and absolutely dry as shit. Doesn't help that the set up for the story is gay as frick and the opening dungeon is apparently not meant to be entered until later in the game.

Everything is overly detailed. A lot of trivial parts of the environment and characters are described too in depth. The game has a problem with being verbose, and it's a common criticism that you don't hear about most other CRPGs

I've replayed it multiple times and never thought of it as verbose, but in retrospect some of the companion quests were quite wordy. I blame Avellone for that, however.
Not just him, I was filtered too when I played it at launch. Didn't help that I had the powers to see their stupid ass stories prior to even getting the powers, not such if they patched that since but I don't care enough to even see. Very, very poor game design in an attempt to get shekels for funding from morons. This plagues seemingly all of the modern isometric crpgs, including Owlcat with Darvin. Imagine if BG3 had some character in your camp who literally *teleports behind u* and sends you on some poorly designed quest that makes no sense in the narrative and has no impact other than giving you awesome items for taking the nothin personel kid OC's side.
Darvin was fricking awful, at least once you figured out what was going on with the backer NPCs you could safely ignore them.

More like a shamelessly scripted advertisement. Shameful that Elijah Wood and Sean Astin had to sit through this garbage with an absolute fricking robot of a human across the table.
It’s interesting because he posts it everywhere and convinced no one. It might actually be schizoid delusion. He might be the only one that cares. I kind of understand if this is like “baby’s first aha! moment.” And he thinks he’s discovered something groundbreaking.
It’s manlet tears style dunning-kruger delusions.
He genuinely doesn’t grasp that his style of blatantly samegay and then Uno reverse anyone who calls him out is pathetically transparent to anyone with a brain cell. He also has the newbie mentality of endlessly post until he gets the last word, because he thinks that means he’s won.
Not just to force perspective, that's easily done. The main reason they made a prop like this is to make it seem really fricking heavy, like after Bilbo drops it and it immediately falls flat with a heavy thunk.
The amount of practical visual trickery they used in these films is mental, IIRC they found a really tall (as in ~7ft) guy to play Gandalf for shots from behind when he's with the hobbits.
Yeah, it's sad when people who don't know anything shit out opinions. Unlike most people here i've been playing Larian games for 2 decades. >they had barrel shenenigans even in Divine Divinity >there are only me and probably only one other person here who played Divine Divinity >most probably never played Divinity 2 where you could converse with the dead >few had sexy time with princesses in Dragon Commander >talked to clams in Divinity Original Sin >snuffed a 1000 candles in Divinity Original Sin 2
Most people on this site don't know what they're talking about 99% of the time and the same goes for youtube personalities.
>quit talking about RPG devs, meanie
My god you redditors are boring, we get it, Josh called you a real woman, he's still not gonna frick you, get off his dick
Yes he has. I would hope if you're posting on the video games board you would be at least as interested in video games as he is and less so in talking about the personalities and politics of game devs as seen through twitter interactions.
This is clearly a teaser/foreshadowing for Larian's next project right? >LotR rpg >new IP with Elijah and Sean playing some of the leads >BG3 expansion with Elijah and Sean voicing new characters, maybe a new gnome, halfling or dwarf companions since the game doesn't have any
>No, Embracer Group owns rights.
Which they can license out to other companies, duh. What do you think Embracer buys all those IPs for? >Larian doesn't make DLCs.
Larian used to be a 30 man indie dev. They're now 400+ man AAA dev and can afford to work on two games simultaneously. Swen's new game won't go into full production for at least another year. There's a perfect window of opportunity to squeeze in an expansion for BG3 before they put their entire focus on to the new game.
>squeeze in an expansion for BG3 before they put their entire focus on to the new game.
I see no room for a story DLC in the game. Entirely new campaign? Probably.
Why did josh turn into such a gay? People would have been sucking his wiener if he decided to shit talk starfield. How mind broken do you need to be to shit talk great games and give mediocre trash a free pass?
>bullshit criticisms
Such as? Nothing that has been posted in this thread so far could be labeled as such. Think about how much you being a fanboy is affecting your judgement on the matter, be honest with yourself.
If the Lord of the Rings IP wasn't currently being butchered by Amazon I'd have hope, but as is I'm pretty sure they negociated rights to upcoming RPGs
But the Larian rpg system seems like an efficient and kino way to make campaigns in lots of different formats so maybe they'll get offers to adapt popular IPs who know
His autistic hatred for romances in RPGs is the sole reason POE flopped, when he finally decided to cater to coomers, all he could come come up with is.........................a buckbroken fish

kys biowarehomosexual
It's nice that Elijah is still alive even after calling out Hollywood pedo homosexuals. If he had gone harder I think he would have had a mysterious overdose that totally wasn't murder.
Josh Sawyer needs to make more historical detective games for his long dialogue
Or work with other existing settings that are more interesting than Pillars of Eternity. I just didn't care about the generic DnD fantasy setting.
So did I, I thought it was great. I feel like that's where Sawyer is in his element, writing about things he's passionate about. Better at exploring ideas within a setting than creating from scratch.
There's something very dark about this because it feels like Swen just put Elijah and Sean through some kind of humiliation ritual to flex on LOTR. Nothing in the video implies he's a legit fan. Something really feels off about this whole video.
That image isn't wrong in any way.
What I don't understand is how gays on Ganker who have had the right idea of "they're just drawings/3d renders, who cares" for years, suddenly got into a screeching outrage over """bestiality""" in muh sacred christian vidya.
The defense shouldn't be that it's a shapeshifter in-game, the defense should be they aren't even real to begin with.
The idea is less about bestiality, and more about the hypocrisy of being pro bearsex and anti e-girl. Somewhere along the way, though, it just became a shitflinging meme to use against the game
Mostly it was a big "here's my repulsive degeneracy" moment that was somehow widely advertised and celebrated instead of reviled, and people took the chance to make some others look in the mirror and see the equivalence of their degeneracy. Personally I feel like whatever harmless degeneracy you're up to, it's fine behind closed doors (on anonymously). But when you make a big deal about it you better expect public reaction and backlash.
I agree that they push gayhomosexualry too hard a lot of the time, and it's repulsive even as a gay myself to see it so shoved in everyone's face. But I don't think the bear part was supposed to be anything but comedic and not a fetish thing. Feels like the kind of humor you'd see in CRPGs decades ago.

I wish AAA companies didn't have bottomless amounts money to compensate for their constant failures and that their lazy devs were crucified in public.
Lamenting the fact that wegs have gone mainstream when they spent literally decades trying to maneuver it so it wouldn't become wegs.
Just off the top of my head: >Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring >Battle For Middle Earth I/II >Lord of the Rings: Conquest >Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith >Lego Star Wars 1&2 >Star Wars Battlefront 1&2 >EA Battlefront 2
I REALLY wish that I could enjoy this game. I spent about 20 hours, made it to Act II, and realize that I can’t make myself like this game. The combat alone takes way too long. I don’t mind TBC, but even minor battles can take over ten minutes.
It's crazy tbh. CRPGs are normalgay repellant.
I think the bear sex meme unironically worked. Whoever put that in the marketing unironically deserves a promotion.
Marketing is just for getting the game into people's hands. I'm assuming the player retention is from the game feeling similar to old Bioware games like Dragon Age.
A lot of people are hungry for cinematic rpgs since Bioware is dead now and CDPR make 1 game every 7 years.
Ganker conveniently ignores this fact. It was verifiably true that 2 months after launch only 0.1% of Steam players got the achievement for beating the 2 minute tutorial. All the shills will pretend it didn't happen even though the number """somehow""" jumped after people started exposing Larian.
It's actually standard for a lot of games. If you are the sort of player that completes most of the games you play, then you're in a minority of people. An absolute pitiful amount play to completion in any game
>It's actually standard for a lot of games
No it's not you pathetic shill. Name any single AAA game where only 0.1% of players played less than 2 minutes.
btw, 36% of players made it to act 3 in BG3
That's only because people started noticing and exposing Larian so they made their bots play through the game
only 0.1% of players played less than 2 minutes. >only 0.1% of players played less than 2 minutes >only 0.1% >played less than 2 minutes
You might want to reword that, anon. Also moot as 36% of players made it all the way to act 3. My point was also that most players don't complete games.. Most players don't even make it halfway through. Just go check the achievements for most any game

That's objectively false. It had 875.000 players at release peak, and still had some 60% player retention a month afterwards. There's still 150,000 people who play it daily And you realize that saying only 0,1% played it less than 2 minutes, means that the rest of the players played it for more than than 2 minutes, so your statement was dumb
These might be bot posts. They aren't really making coherent points just arguing the opposite of whatever keywords they pick up in the post they are replying to.
If the original post says water is wet they reply with wiki sounding posts saying it is not wet.
It's very sad to see.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
can i get a quick rundown
Josh has been obsessed with Larian for almost a decade now
He's a game dev anon. This is a postmortem where he's examining what they did right and what they could have done better. Divinity Original Sin II was a hugely popular game with full voice acting which influenced player expectations and made Pillars of Eternity 2 look worse in comparison.
There's nothing strange or obsessive about this outside of you making the connection that it is somehow supposed to be strange and obsessive.
Whatever you say, Josh.
And this is an edit. I'm sorry I have to explain this to you.
You can't be this dumb. Yes, anonymous, it's an edit, posted on an imageboard that features a lot of memes, holy frick obsidrones are dense.
anon I think youre schizoposting
Josh isn't gonna frick you
>i-it was just a joke
"I said X is true but actually... it isn't!"
Forgive me for not recognizing this as the comedic genius you intended it to be.
Not enough MCU references I assume?
it's fine, no need to get so defensive about it, calm down.
My small indie dev... Joshua...
>backed by one of the most prolific companies on the planet
>hundreds of employees
>we lack the funds and the talents 🙁
Obsidian started with KOTOR and NWN. Any RPG dev can do that.
>D:OS 1 and 2 set a new standard
My God, he's been "standard" schizoposting even before BG3 released. That's genuinely insane and hilarious.
you missed the point entirely
?
>schizoposting
?
A lot of morons on nu-neo-Ganker are incapable or afraid of expressing themselves coherently so they just throw in filler words like this and expect the reader to fill in the blanks to make some sense of it.
Dilate newBlack person moron.
Thanks for demonstrating my point with another worthless grey filler post, mongoloid.
Jump off a roof homosexual cuck.
Your parents did a shit job raising you.
Did you miss the shitshow about devs seething about Baldur's Gate 3 setting "unreachable insane" standards? See
Did you REEEAALLLY miss this or are you just being a b***h trying to damage control the narrative and rewrite the past?
>TheCuckMan
lmao
Don't even know who that is I just grabbed the most watched vids.
Everybody was talking about this. The fact that BG3 won the GOTY is extra hilarious.
Modern vidya devs are borderline scammers. They should be crunch timed to death.
I started off with AAA devs seething about BG3 on twitter. Youtubers just covered it. And I for once agree, since I kinda care about vidya industry. BG3 is not some super duper out of the ordinary game that CANNOT be replicated by the AAA parasites. It's the bare fricking minimum. And I'm glad the publishers saw it winning GOTY and will now rape their dev employees over the coals for not doing better.
>I started off with AAA devs seething about BG3 on twitter.
What were they saying? It's insane to me that they would criticize a game for being too good, the lack of self-reflection and just showing their envy and laziness openly is astounding to me. I wish AAA companies didn't have bottomless amounts money to compensate for their constant failures and that their lazy devs were crucified in public.
>another youtube clickbait ""controversy""
Yeah that's why I didn't notice or give a frick. Piss off with this hyped up flavor of the week normalgay drama bullshit and go watch more asmongold.

I just detected that you're a fudge packer. Do it. Down the middle, not across.
Did you break? Ugly homosexual.
How many panels after he says that is he sculling wiener!
Why would he need to cope, he has admitted to the flaws of his game and its criticisms compared it to DoS II because they released in the same market.
>Why would he need to cope
Because he's a pathetic piece of shit, hence writing this
Please attempt to express yourself more clearly.
>t. Josh ''hack'' Sawyer
Josh is a homosexual, no one wants voiced novels in games, it worked in divinity and bg3 because dialogue is short and not full blown novels like in poe trash.
Even reading in poe became tiring because most of it was just irrelevant shit.
Fricking agree. I have tried to get into PoE literally 3 times now and the opening act filters me every time. It's just endless text dumps over the most asinine shit. Apparently someone said they were backer characters or some shit, but how the frick am I supposed to know?
I have played all the classic CRPG's and read every line in Planescape Torment but PoE is insufferable to read and absolutely dry as shit. Doesn't help that the set up for the story is gay as frick and the opening dungeon is apparently not meant to be entered until later in the game.
imagine being filtered by some gold text npc that the game doesn't force you to interact with to progress quests
Everything is overly detailed. A lot of trivial parts of the environment and characters are described too in depth. The game has a problem with being verbose, and it's a common criticism that you don't hear about most other CRPGs
I've replayed it multiple times and never thought of it as verbose, but in retrospect some of the companion quests were quite wordy. I blame Avellone for that, however.
Darvin was fricking awful, at least once you figured out what was going on with the backer NPCs you could safely ignore them.
Not just him, I was filtered too when I played it at launch. Didn't help that I had the powers to see their stupid ass stories prior to even getting the powers, not such if they patched that since but I don't care enough to even see. Very, very poor game design in an attempt to get shekels for funding from morons. This plagues seemingly all of the modern isometric crpgs, including Owlcat with Darvin. Imagine if BG3 had some character in your camp who literally *teleports behind u* and sends you on some poorly designed quest that makes no sense in the narrative and has no impact other than giving you awesome items for taking the nothin personel kid OC's side.
Man who is owned by the Chinese congratulates other man who is owned by the Chinese. Schizos on Ganker create a lifelong rivalry based off of this.
Yeah they’re the schizos not you, the boomer who thinks everything in the world is because of China
So we're just going to pretend that Tencent hasn't invested billions into vidya companies now?
Are you just gonna pretend like that and schizo rambling that China controls Josh Sawyer and Larian and is behind people liking a game that makes you seethe are the same thing?
Larian is literally 30% owned by Tencent.
They always buy a significant minority share so that they don't have to contribute anything significant, but they can still throw a tantrum and threaten to buy a majority stake if anyone dares to offend them.
Now I don’t know much about stocks but since it’s a privately owned company I don’t think he has any obligations to shareholders to sell any of his stock for whatever price
They make an offer that the shareholders can't refuse. That's how they got 30% to begin with.
Whatever they have, Tencent can beat. They don't want to buy it out because with a majority share they actually have to give a shit about what the company does, but they'll do it if they feel like they have to.
My point is that since it’s private Swen owns the majority of shares and can refuse any offer he wants he owns like 60% iirc so he has no reason to worry that’s hardly being owned by China
Anon, everyone has a price. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if they got dirt on Larian as Tencent was responsible for all the shills and astroturfing seen in the internet. I mean, this game is perfect demoralization propaganda for the west while the chink version has no homosexualry.
Then they hardly own him if they have yet to buy him. Swen was also the founder of Larian and is obviously very personally attached to it. It has been a core part of his life and identity for some 27 years, and now the studio is more profitable than ever
>Plus I wouldn't be surprised if they got dirt on Larian as Tencent was responsible for all the shills and astroturfing seen in the internet
What dirt could they possibly have on the company? Why wouldn't they own the majority if they had dirt that could bend Swen?
Real life isn’t like the movies where the guy who has owns 51% gets to be a tyrant. If someone invests 30% or even 10% in a project, having a say in how the money is used is usually part of the deal
Swen owns 62% and his wife owns 8%. Swen is absolutely capable of disregarding any input if he wants. Having a say is not the same as owning Swen
And Tencent owns 30%.
It's a larian strawman they called their competition. It's fine that anons figured it out.
You're fricking deranged.
I accept your concession.
You don't have a point.
>You don't have a point.
Tencent owns 30%, Swen and his wife own 70%. Swen has the ability to shut down any demand from Tencent. That's a literal fact
That's nice darling.
Thanks
There was no argument to begin with, you ARE deranged. Now that I looked up the keywords of your schizo narrative in the archive, it only further proves me right.
I've already accepted your concession don't do this.
lol no you moron.
See, they've been using this strawman for literally years. It's dead now at least.
Deranged moron.

That guy is 100% dead now.

see
You remind me of an anon that frequented BG3 thread before release
>And Tencent owns 30%.
That's my point innit. Tencent can give its input, but Swen and his wife together own 70% of Larain. He absolutely does not have to do anything that he doesn't want to
>Man who is owned by the Chinese congratulates
But Sawyer is owned by Microsoft and Microsoft CEO is Indian.
Dutch*
Tencent shills are trying to form a weird made up rivalry between the 2 guys.
Mocking Sawyer is the only good thing to have spawned from BG3 threads.
What is Sawyer meant to be angry about in this image?
>DOS2 turned Larian into an AAA company
>POE2 turned Obsidian into a slopfactory
Plus he always wanted to make BG3
I see
>BG3 made by people with actual respect to the original games

>BG3 made by people with actual respect to the original games
Pathfinder Kingmaker already exists.
trash game
Half a decade of bugfixing later and even then that's an arguable claim
>respect to the original games
lol LMAO did you even play it?
Reread the post
I CANNOT imagine how utterly terrible post PoE2 Obsidian's Baldur's Gate 3 would be
What if he quit Obsidian and got hired by Larian?
Sawyer played the game on stream then never again because he had some 0.3 sec audio desync and promptly returned to cyberpunk shilling next week
More like a shamelessly scripted advertisement. Shameful that Elijah Wood and Sean Astin had to sit through this garbage with an absolute fricking robot of a human across the table.

>He's samegayging now
>Tencent poster is a schizoid waifugay
Who would have guessed ?
It’s interesting because he posts it everywhere and convinced no one. It might actually be schizoid delusion. He might be the only one that cares. I kind of understand if this is like “baby’s first aha! moment.” And he thinks he’s discovered something groundbreaking.
It’s manlet tears style dunning-kruger delusions.
He genuinely doesn’t grasp that his style of blatantly samegay and then Uno reverse anyone who calls him out is pathetically transparent to anyone with a brain cell. He also has the newbie mentality of endlessly post until he gets the last word, because he thinks that means he’s won.
>Does your escort post for you, or is the other one your phone?
>Doesn't know what greenposting means or how to use it
Sad but expected from the schizoid newbies
Well, a druid can't polymorph into children.

What will your husband put around his dong now?
Not just to force perspective, that's easily done. The main reason they made a prop like this is to make it seem really fricking heavy, like after Bilbo drops it and it immediately falls flat with a heavy thunk.
You are incredibly dumb.
They used a magnet under the floor for that, not a giant ring
Substandard post
The amount of practical visual trickery they used in these films is mental, IIRC they found a really tall (as in ~7ft) guy to play Gandalf for shots from behind when he's with the hobbits.

That's because it isn't true. It's just out of context pictures put together with a fake story

>Ganker in 2030
>Baldur's Gate 4 comes out
>Ganker: "BG4 is garbage! Baldur's Gate 3, now that was an amazing game!"
kek, even Baldur's Gate 1 was criticized on release by basement dwellers for being too romance focused
and they were right. Imoen was an annoying moron, as was Aerie. Your waifu was shit and she is still shit 20 years later
BG1 had no romances.
I think you meant BG2. BG1 was (and still is) criticized by grognards for being a hack and slash action game for kiddies.
Which it is
Why would you lie like that?
He’s not lying I criticized it for being too romance focused despite no romances being in the game and I stand by my criticism
We need more people like you, anon, godspeed
BG3 sucks.
>average BG3 zoomie pretending to be a long time fan of the series he just bandwagoned to.
DAO was criticized for too casual RPG mechanics and BG2 rehash (it was actually KOTOR rehash *angry noises*).
DAO is more like World of Warcraft than KOTOR moron
BG4 is going to be so fricking pozzed. I can see it so clearly. It's going to be Spider-Man 2 tier in terms of killing the brand
Don't underestimate the power of coonsomers. Then again, is not like they have the same power as the Pokemon brand in terms of making people eat slop.

Most people on this site don't know what they're talking about 99% of the time and the same goes for youtube personalities.
P.S. Baldur's Gate 3 is a masterpiece 10/10 game.
I think mental patients shouldn't be allowed unsuprevised internet access.
Maybe anon should spend some more time showing interest in RPGs himself instead of obsessing over personalities and twitter posts.
>quit talking about RPG devs, meanie
My god you redditors are boring, we get it, Josh called you a real woman, he's still not gonna frick you, get off his dick
Video games?
Josh Sawyer directed tons of them, yes.
Yes he has. I would hope if you're posting on the video games board you would be at least as interested in video games as he is and less so in talking about the personalities and politics of game devs as seen through twitter interactions.
I'm not reading that
Zoomers only understand discussing that involves the celebs they read about on their gossip magazine, a.k.a twitter/X
I've actually genuinely never seen someone more mindbroken on Ganker. This game destroyed your life.
This is clearly a teaser/foreshadowing for Larian's next project right?
>LotR rpg
>new IP with Elijah and Sean playing some of the leads
>BG3 expansion with Elijah and Sean voicing new characters, maybe a new gnome, halfling or dwarf companions since the game doesn't have any
>LotR rpg
No, Embracer Group owns rights.
>BG3 expansion
Larian doesn't make DLCs.
>Larian doesn't make DLCs.
Larian didn't make GOTYs either, the epilogues are teasing a ton of plot hooks, there will 100% be an expansion
But there's no way you can continue story with the same cast. Their endings are too diverse.
>No, Embracer Group owns rights.
Which they can license out to other companies, duh. What do you think Embracer buys all those IPs for?
>Larian doesn't make DLCs.
Larian used to be a 30 man indie dev. They're now 400+ man AAA dev and can afford to work on two games simultaneously. Swen's new game won't go into full production for at least another year. There's a perfect window of opportunity to squeeze in an expansion for BG3 before they put their entire focus on to the new game.
>squeeze in an expansion for BG3 before they put their entire focus on to the new game.
I see no room for a story DLC in the game. Entirely new campaign? Probably.
that was adorkable, sean kinda looks like a lesbian though
>he got deleted
serves you right
Hello were is the hobbit sex? Instead we get fricking bears
if there was any other gaming company they would use the latest hollywood famous person to do this gay shit with cringe ass dialogue.
Why did josh turn into such a gay? People would have been sucking his wiener if he decided to shit talk starfield. How mind broken do you need to be to shit talk great games and give mediocre trash a free pass?
your definition of "shit talk" is questionable.
Making up endless bullshit criticisms that make 0 sense because you resent somethings success is shit talk
>bullshit criticisms
Such as? Nothing that has been posted in this thread so far could be labeled as such. Think about how much you being a fanboy is affecting your judgement on the matter, be honest with yourself.

Did Sean Astin have 10 hours in makeup every day to make him look younger or did he just age 50 years in the past 2 decades? holy shit
He’s a fat, deranged twitter-liberal who’s been stress eating because of daddy trump the last 5 years. Many such cases!
Why are you sexless, kissless, gf-less chuds STILL mad about the success of BG3? Holy shit get a LIFE already
Good for Larian making fun games and not charging people out the ass they deserve all the praise.
imagine the announce a LOTR Crpg next with Elijah and Sean as VA
If the Lord of the Rings IP wasn't currently being butchered by Amazon I'd have hope, but as is I'm pretty sure they negociated rights to upcoming RPGs
But the Larian rpg system seems like an efficient and kino way to make campaigns in lots of different formats so maybe they'll get offers to adapt popular IPs who know
no one watched that shit
Nah, LOTR games should be action. Turn based is boring.
LOTR IP will surely come with huge restrictions from the license holder, and Swen mentioned he wants to make something different next time.
wholesome
That's so fricking funny. But for real now: Kill all sodomites.
Is BG3 any good?
its ok
It is pretty good.
Yeah
It’s great
its goyslop trash for zoomers and tra-
just joking its pretty good.
It's fine but it doesn't feel like a fantasy world filled with fantasy characters, more like a bunch of larpers running around the field.
yeah what it feels like when you run into a black woman in drow face. and that random korean npc I guess korea is a place in dnd?
Pirate it and find out
It's not a Baldurs Gate game, it's another game wearing its skin. Plus it's homebrew 5e so good is a highly relative term.
Josh...
OH NO NO NO LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD
Gay fish. When Avowed bombs he will jump through a window.
His autistic hatred for romances in RPGs is the sole reason POE flopped, when he finally decided to cater to coomers, all he could come come up with is.........................a buckbroken fish
No I’d say it’s because it was a boring as frick setting
DOS's setting is pretty moronic too, it's art direction carried it
They're pure cringe but you gotta play by the rules
Yeah POE looking more like a traditional CRPG definitely hurt it, it being rtwp as well
True, RTWP filtered me hard
PoE is hurt mostly by its lack of sovl. It lacks feeling. Tyranny unironically was the last game from Obsidian with sovl.
>troony
>le funny name hue hue hue
Fricking imbecile.
Fricking troony
The only good thing about POE1 is that this game actually fixed old school RTWP combat, but they didn't break Bioware's curse (2 million of copies as the ceiling for CRPG).
I'd argue that PoE 2 really nailed it mechanically. Pity about everything else. I end up replaying PoE and enjoying it while I struggle with PoE 2. God it could have been so good. Pirates and shit? Should have been a home run. Instead we get to chase Eothas' glowing ass after he shat on Caed Nua.
to be fair, rpg romance is pure cancer
it was one of the first during the revival, I'm glad there were no romances, makes more interesting characters most of the time.
>But I want to frick Grieving Mother
kys biowarehomosexual
>When Avowed bombs he will jump through a window.
He's not developing Avowed. He probably will never work with any big title in his life.
What the frick ?
If this not edited, this guys is pathetic and probably can't have a night without thinking about Swen
You can check the source video. It's very beginning of his speech iirc.
It's nice that Elijah is still alive even after calling out Hollywood pedo homosexuals. If he had gone harder I think he would have had a mysterious overdose that totally wasn't murder.
they should've made Sam a chick
and gay
Josh Sawyer needs to make more historical detective games for his long dialogue
Or work with other existing settings that are more interesting than Pillars of Eternity. I just didn't care about the generic DnD fantasy setting.
I actually really enjoyed Pentiment
So did I, I thought it was great. I feel like that's where Sawyer is in his element, writing about things he's passionate about. Better at exploring ideas within a setting than creating from scratch.
There's something very dark about this because it feels like Swen just put Elijah and Sean through some kind of humiliation ritual to flex on LOTR. Nothing in the video implies he's a legit fan. Something really feels off about this whole video.
>europeans shilling this game for free instead of spending christmas with their families
Europe is Muslim so why would they care about Christmas?
Muslims care a great a deal about Jesus Christ actually. He's in the same tier as Muhammad.
>He's in the same tier as Muhammad.
That's a lie btw
*underpaid pajeets and chinks
ftfy
That image isn't wrong in any way.
What I don't understand is how gays on Ganker who have had the right idea of "they're just drawings/3d renders, who cares" for years, suddenly got into a screeching outrage over """bestiality""" in muh sacred christian vidya.
The defense shouldn't be that it's a shapeshifter in-game, the defense should be they aren't even real to begin with.
The idea is less about bestiality, and more about the hypocrisy of being pro bearsex and anti e-girl. Somewhere along the way, though, it just became a shitflinging meme to use against the game
Mostly it was a big "here's my repulsive degeneracy" moment that was somehow widely advertised and celebrated instead of reviled, and people took the chance to make some others look in the mirror and see the equivalence of their degeneracy. Personally I feel like whatever harmless degeneracy you're up to, it's fine behind closed doors (on anonymously). But when you make a big deal about it you better expect public reaction and backlash.
I agree that they push gayhomosexualry too hard a lot of the time, and it's repulsive even as a gay myself to see it so shoved in everyone's face. But I don't think the bear part was supposed to be anything but comedic and not a fetish thing. Feels like the kind of humor you'd see in CRPGs decades ago.
>BG3 still causing asshurt
I was browsing youtube and stumbled on compilations of nintendo and spiderman fans losing their shit over Baldur's Gate 3 winning awards. I had no idea about the assrape that BG3 has done recently.
I'd watch it if it was just the two of them doing something fun together. But it's not
why couldn’t they make a good LotR game
Has there EVER been a good videogame that was based on a film? Yes I know LotR is a book shut the frick up you get the point
Robocop
Mad Max
there’s a King Kong game that’s supposed to be good
These are mediocre at best.
Rogue City is literal GOTY despite how hard LariaBlack folk try to bury it
>despite how hard LariaBlack folk try to bury it
Are you implying that people who like Larian are somehow running a campaign against a completely unrelated game?
They did it with Owlcat for years, they've done it against Bethesdas recently too.
Remember when they were calling people Farquaad? Granted, that was terrible for their public image but they did do it for years.
m8, Rogue City isn't even close to being in the same genre as Larian games
Yeah Robocop actually centered on being fun instead of shoving dicks in your face
And has absolutely nothing to do with Larian or BG3. You conjured up a connection based on nothing
Robocop was a budget title that literally pushes the new industry standard (a term heaped on BG3 to no end) with its use of UE5, yet LariaBlack folk tried hard to bury the game instead
>Robocop was a budget title that literally pushes the new industry standard
lol wat
>yet LariaBlack folk tried hard to bury the game instead
Why would they? The two audiences aren't the same and the genres are vastly different. You've made that shit up
>The two audiences aren't the same and the genres are vastly different.
what a moron
Enlighten me, then
did you miss how much attention Robocop got for using UE5 to great success?
I barely see anyone anywhere talk about Rogue City. What did it do with UE5?
Depressing that it wasn't more commercially successful than it is

It had a low budget, I assume? Wonder what the profit was

Anon, I do believe I've figured you out. You've taken me for quite a ride itt. You are a rascal. A fiend of a poster. You sly shitposter, you. Godspeed
At this point I don’t know if it’s more pathetic that this is a schizo that legitimately thinks he’s being clever, or someone putting a great deal of effort into pretending to be moronic.
I suppose a schizo at least has the excuse that he can’t help it.
>he
It's impossible to say. He may just be pretending to be moronic, but his shitposting power is based on actual autism. Genuine or troll, he's fricked either way
The fact he’s given up trying to keep to his moronic line of farquad being invented by Larian after getting repeatedly blown the frick out, and is now responding until he has the last word, probably indicates crippling autism
That's already been proven though. They've been doing it since the owlcat days and had to retire the persona a few months ago since anons started calling larian farquaad.
He "disappeared" right as the strawman was burned. Kind of puts the pieces together.
>anons
Read it this time
>They did it with Owlcat for years
kek
I think that he was replying with a meme. Also while Rogue City and Mad Max are good games they are not GOTY level.

Lamenting the fact that wegs have gone mainstream when they spent literally decades trying to maneuver it so it wouldn't become wegs.
Just off the top of my head:
>Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring
>Battle For Middle Earth I/II
>Lord of the Rings: Conquest
>Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
>Lego Star Wars 1&2
>Star Wars Battlefront 1&2
>EA Battlefront 2
>Fellowship of the Ring
Frick, I mean Return of the King.
for fricks sake anon
Peter Jackson's King Kong was pretty good
Aliens vs Predator 2 is the best movie-related video game
>they're old
i don't like it
I like watching Elijah Wood play video games 🙂
MISTAH WUUDS!
Do you vear vigs?
The people who enjoy BG3 are probably the last people who enjoy LOTR
>The people who enjoy fantasy are probably the last people who enjoy fantasy
?
>the people who enjoy adventure and tradition fantasy will enjoy a wokeslop dating sim with a gloss of game of thrones
Yes, BG3 is a great fantasy adventure.
I REALLY wish that I could enjoy this game. I spent about 20 hours, made it to Act II, and realize that I can’t make myself like this game. The combat alone takes way too long. I don’t mind TBC, but even minor battles can take over ten minutes.
i have to say it was quite funny, ad though it is
>Check the comments
>BG3 players unironically love Rings of Power
Surprise surprise
Its probably just bots that arent self aware.
No I don't lol.
>No I don't lol.
You don't want? Remind me of someone? How could you possibly know who you remind me of?
None of the top comment are, far as I can tell
Scrolled 6 pages worth of comments, haven't found anything of the sort.
Something tells me you're lying.
Does he wear wigs?
Will he wear wigs?
When will he wear wigs?
I'm really surprised normalgays liked this game, so much. Turned based DnD is like the antithesis of what they like.
It's crazy tbh. CRPGs are normalgay repellant.
I think the bear sex meme unironically worked. Whoever put that in the marketing unironically deserves a promotion.
>I think the bear sex meme unironically worked.
Bear sex can't explain players retention.
Marketing is just for getting the game into people's hands. I'm assuming the player retention is from the game feeling similar to old Bioware games like Dragon Age.
A lot of people are hungry for cinematic rpgs since Bioware is dead now and CDPR make 1 game every 7 years.
So it really is another TORtanic situation then. Guess this is TORtanic 2.0 when you think about it.
Bioware's old crpgs were not that popular among mainstream players. Even basically simple games like DAO and KOTOR.
lol wut?
He's right. When compared to BG3, all previous CRPGs have been niche. BG3 was abnomrally successful. Even had more players on Steam than CP2077
There was an article that like 90% of the people “playing” this game never got past the first mission. It’s all fomo
>There was an article
Well, where is it?
Actually, don't bother, I can just look at the steam achievements myself and deduce that you're full of shit.
But that completely proves me right though? It shows 90% of players never got past the tutorial
You think pretending to be moronic is "trolling", but it's actually just you being a moron.
time to brush up on your percentages and fractions, anon.
Ganker conveniently ignores this fact. It was verifiably true that 2 months after launch only 0.1% of Steam players got the achievement for beating the 2 minute tutorial. All the shills will pretend it didn't happen even though the number """somehow""" jumped after people started exposing Larian.
It's actually standard for a lot of games. If you are the sort of player that completes most of the games you play, then you're in a minority of people. An absolute pitiful amount play to completion in any game
>It's actually standard for a lot of games
No it's not you pathetic shill. Name any single AAA game where only 0.1% of players played less than 2 minutes.
That's only because people started noticing and exposing Larian so they made their bots play through the game
only 0.1% of players played less than 2 minutes.
>only 0.1% of players played less than 2 minutes
>only 0.1%
>played less than 2 minutes
You might want to reword that, anon. Also moot as 36% of players made it all the way to act 3. My point was also that most players don't complete games.. Most players don't even make it halfway through. Just go check the achievements for most any game
You are purposely misrepresenting my point, Chang Dong. I already said that this 0.1% stat was 2 months after release. I didn't say presently. Try to keep up, Wang Ching.
>I already said that this 0.1% stat was 2 months after release.
That's objectively false. It had 875.000 players at release peak, and still had some 60% player retention a month afterwards. There's still 150,000 people who play it daily And you realize that saying only 0,1% played it less than 2 minutes, means that the rest of the players played it for more than than 2 minutes, so your statement was dumb
Oh wow I made a typo, my entire argument must be null and void right? Is that one of the rules they teach you at communist shill training?
>It had 875.000 players at release peak
And the vast majority of them were bots that just opened the game and left it. That's why only 0.1% of players got the achievement for finishing the 2 minute tutorial until people started exposing Larian
Good luck in your untethered crusade of obsession and delusion
NTA but he doesn't need luck he's pretty convincing. I was there I remember the copes from the marketers about it being a bug that was only effecting this game because of the early access.
It was a good laugh. Everything about this game has been good laughs.
I remember the copes from some anons, days before full release, insisting it would become a huge failure. There was even a guy that genuinely argued that only act 1 would exist in full release, and that the game would end there
Wild how it all turned out like that. I remember when they added the ending in a patch lol. Still had to "fix" gale and karlach lol.
What a joke.
btw, 36% of players made it to act 3 in BG3
Most people played with friends. Most of their friends didn't like the game and dropped it half way through.
>Most people played with friends.
That doesn't change the fact that 36% of players made it to act 3
>Most of their friends didn't like the game and dropped it half way through.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Only 36% made it to act 3 because most quit half way through. They were playing with friends and didn't like the game.
>Only 36% made it to act 3 because most quit half way through
36% making it to act 3 is a huge amount of players. You'd only think otherwise if you didn't know the general statistics for completion across all games
>They were playing with friends and didn't like the game.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
>Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Yep.
Let's see it
Read the thread dumbass.
0 people will be watching the marketing materials. They already know how to operate given it is a tencent thread.
>Read the thread dumbass.
There isn't a single fact ITT to back that up. Viper you coward dont even smoke crack
>how do you do fellow Gankerners
no u
I got back into the game after a break, did they patch the difficulties? tactician feels harder now, the fake paladins of tyr almost flatlined me, i actually got divine smite nuked first try, the fricker legit killed 2 party members completely in 2 turns, had to just get him first.
>the fake paladins of tyr almost flatlined me
Divine Smite always has been strong.
yeah but this is like my 5th playthrough, never had this happen, besides, they`re not even real paladins of tyr.
Did nobody catch the "Wrapped it up" joke at the start? ARE YOU ALL BOTS? NPCS?
>Did nobody catch the "Wrapped it up" joke at the start?
I wrapped it up.
Why are 60+ post samegay chains allowed?
Are jannies sleeping?
Why does this happen in bg3 threads so much?
There are numerous facts brought up.
>Why does this happen in bg3 threads so much?
The accusation is part of their marketing flowchart.
There are precisely 0 facts ITT showing that most played it with friends and that they dropped it because their friends didn't like it. There is not a single strand of data that supports that in any post made
These might be bot posts. They aren't really making coherent points just arguing the opposite of whatever keywords they pick up in the post they are replying to.
If the original post says water is wet they reply with wiki sounding posts saying it is not wet.
It's very sad to see.
>anon says most players played it with their friends and dropped it because their friends didn't like it
>is asked for evidence on that claim
>keeps avoiding giving evidence
>tries to handwave it away by saying it's already posted in the thread
>no evidence is posted in the thread
oh i am laffin
Holy frick it’s Frodo
Ah yes Sean Astin, eternally Buck Broken by Trump.
People didn't like Astin, the rest of the cast got along
