You know you can literally check every single one of those 500,000 reviews and see if they're real people right?
>play early access >see it all wokefied on release >leave a review >see if the game redeems itself later >it didn't so review stays
Is it really so hard to grasp?
one of my only reviews was me raging about XCOM 2's mission timers
they fixed that issue and I went on to play it a shitload of hours
my negative review is still there though because I'm too lazy to change it
Everyone remember this post when you hear something like "YOU DIDN'T EVEN PLAY THE GAME", they don't care if your opinion is well-informed or not. They don't care if you think the game is good or not. The ONLY thing they care about is that you put your money down and play the trash. That's their only goal. They want you to pay them. Don't buy the game, don't even pirate it with the anti-woke mods. It's not worth it. Play good games and let this slop be forgotten like all the ones that came before it.

Except that's not the case with that picture, disingenuous homosexual.
He played 127 hours, left a bad review, and then played another 100 hours after the fact.
The author of that review is a steam forum troll who reposts his shitty reviews and bait threads to Ganker for validation.
I wasn't talking about that one specific guy but just a moronic sentiment in general of why do people play bad games for long periods of time and don't even try to pretend this doesn't happen. I'm not a terminally online literal homosexual who is obsessed over random anons trolling steam forums so gtfo with that bullshit.

Why are you literal homosexuals so disingenuous?
you know there are several degrees of playing the game other than "barely touch it" and "play 300 hours"?
if the woke stuff was so bad that he felt the need to give a bad review on that alone how did he play 100 more hours? is he an autistic gay that needs to turn every rock to check if there might be trannies under it?
Duh. Plus nobody is going to waste 10$ on a visual novel when you get the exact same content from simply watching the memes, seeing as how it's just a slideshow.
>Pretty impressive tbh.
steam is the last place i would trust the score the forums are moderated by the company that runs the game so any complains just get removed same with negative reviews.
Here's how you use the review system on steam: >see what % it's at >go to the reviews, filter by negative >look for ones with good grammar >read a handful of those and see if there are any consistent issues >if the issues are based on gameplay, performance, degeneracy, or other similar factors that would effect your enjoyment of the game, then you now know the game will be bad >if it's people complaining about a lack of updates, comparing it to previous entries, or similar games, then proceed at your own risk
Remember that 1 well-written negative review is worth 100 well-written positive reviews when it comes to how much you can learn about the game.
You're awarded social media points if you grandstand about how good BG3 is on Twitter, Reddit, etc. Obviously people want to go out of their way to post a review.
Did any of these people finish the game? Act 3 is terrible. There's even a literal troony quest giver. It's like it was created by a different team than Act 1 and 2, the writing went to shit. It was like a slap in the face and no one is talking about it. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

The right choice if you ask me.
>The player has the choice how they interact with the game world.
That response makes no sense. What does that have to do with there being disgusting trannies shoved into the game?
Eric doesn't like when people point out how many disgusting diverse minorities and degenerates are in the game so he copes by saying "you can kill them" and posting this webm
I feel this way about the Act-3 consensus I see everywhere. Having spent about a hundred-ish hours in it, it's by far my favorite and it's not even close. I wonder if people just parrot what they hear, or if they just balk at the density of content because no one has an attention span anymore.
Act 3 is jam packed with content to the point that it could've honestly been split into a 4th act. From sabotaging a newspaper to breaking out those ungrateful fricks from an underwater prison to fighting a dragon to a whole ass temple of murder. And yet you're screaming and crying about a singular character at a circus who has like 8 lines of dialogue. Christ you homosexuals are insufferable.
>JAM PACKED WITH CONTENT!
wow more shitty fights! The problem with Act 3 is that at the end of the game you're supposed to let things become focused, not frick around with moronic sidequests when stakes are theoretically at their highest.
All these CRPG-newbies have it backwards. Act 3 was the first time the game opened up and felt like Baldur's Gate for me. Everything beforehand were Skyrim tier >good or evil?
Choices.
God, I fricking despise Nocturne. >Hijacks Shadowhearts story all the way in first act of the game >"Oh, you slaughtered every member of my church in a fight I was the only absent person in? Well we don't need to fight even though I will refuse to stop worshipping the deity that imprisoned and tortured your parents for literal decades. Now listen to the story of how I transitioned!
>Did any of these people finish the game?
Around 40% finished Act 1.
4 (four) fricking percent of players finished Karlach's romance, one of the most popular characters.
This is what happens when a company that hates the originals (or is lead by a person who hates it) makes NewGame 3(tm) solely focused on normalgay enjoyment. The fact it has so many defenders on Gankereddit shows how fricking dead this board is.
Why was the ending so fricking bad? Everything from the Morphic Pool onward feels unfinished and rushed. Also the best ending (Gale bomb without any Flayers) feels hidden behind several layers of bullshit and contradictory dialogue. Rest of the game is pretty aight tho. Romancing Lae'zel then letting her leave with Orpheus + joining Wyll and Karlach in hell + promising to reunite with one another after you complete your separate missions is such a great ending though.
BG3's endings are literally fricking worse than ME3 endings. Nothing matters. The fact that no one gives a frick shows how much the gaming as a hobby degraded. The normalgay infestation already reached critical point years ago.
>4 (four) fricking percent of players finished Karlach's romance, one of the most popular characters.
Ah gee I wonder why people don't want to romance a whacky r*dd*t humor hulk with the hair of a dyke.
Lae'zel is probably the best romance in the game that most people miss on because she is mean to them while being held in the cage right after crashing the squid ship.
>popular = objectively good choice
Who the frick said that? They were talking about popularity. Why do homosexuals that like the least popular option always do this, can't you read? Is following a reply chain too hard for you?

>Who the frick said that?
She is literally the second most popular romance, moron.
BG3 is a game that people are desperate to love for some reason. Like all those doppelganger/cultist fights were each some unique little rainbow or garbage like the printing press quest or Gale's gay cat were these epic quests
I can understand why some people feel it was weaker than the other acts at the very least, the progression and storytelling of the previous acts did feel a lot more cohesive because of the level design, whereas the game opens up a lot more once you reach Baldurs Gate itself, and in comparison to the other acts, it can feel a little messy due to this. But terrible? take your meds and these breasts.
don't worry they are just hardcore fans baiting so the thread will keep getting bumped
game is really fun still, personally I'm waiting for patch 6 to start my honor mode run

act 3 is not only a big step down in how you progress through it and the narrative, it's also way WAY buggier.
Apart from the usual bugs happening more often and performance being worse, it also has gamebreaking bugs that will just make you unable to progress the game at all. Like the one where the portraits of your main characters dissapear and you can't control them anymore, which I can tell you by experience that is not fun if you are doing an honor mode run
>it also has gamebreaking bugs that will just make you unable to progress the game at all
Like what? >Like the one where the portraits of your main characters dissapear and you can't control them anymore
That's not a "game breaking" bug, all you have to do is close the game or just quit to main menu.
Act 3 felt longer than 1 and probably was also this
The guys name is Lucretious, they knew what they were doing here
The real cringe is Nocturne
I haven't seen anyone talking about the actual troony who said they found solace and acceptance in the embrace of Shar aka female Satan. It was as bad as the drag clown if not worse.
Act 3 is pretty garbage honestly. A lot of quests become very linear compared to being able to do basically whatever you can imagine to complete them from Act 1.
There's several where you're given no way to talk your way through, you can only complete with combat or possibly stealth.
The biggest offender for me was the fireworks shop one.
Maybe I had missed something but I couldn't figure how to get to the upper floor without invis/sneaking or fighting. I expected being able to bullshit my way up there like I could in similar instances in the past.
It's so interesting some people think that. Act 3 was my favorite part of the game (granted, I didn't get to Act 3 until after Patch 5, so I likely missed the majority of the original issues)
I think it's because people try to binge the entire game and after 60-70 hours they reach Rivington, which is admittedly kind of weak, and give up on the game.
I like how this made Ganker so upset the mods had to ban the webm of the sex scene
If this were old Ganker everyone would’ve just had a chuckle and moved on not go on unhinged Fox News tier rants about it being a virtual porn game while threatening to get the game banned in Germany
the only people posting the webm were you morons spamming threads with it as the OP and a "Ganker IN SHAMBLES" or "THE BEAR THAT MINDBROKE Ganker" over and over again, trying to get a reaction

his companion quest doesn't even finish, you never get to see the shadow curse lifted. fricking piece of shit game EVERY other companion has a similar quest that they just pretend is finished after the game is done even though they never botehred to actually finish it.
Baldur's Gate 3 is fine but it's success has brought the schizos out of the woodwork to use it against whatever game they don't like, thinking that fans of the other game are seething when it's more "Holy shit! Two Cakes!"
It's a good complete game that isn't littered with microtransactions >muh cut content
it never made it in to the game so you can't complain the game is complete and you're not paying $70+$70 dlc+$100 worth of game speed ups+$100 for the in game gacha+tip
Congrats, this should be good for the future of the WRPG genre which has taken a downhill since Skyrim launched.
Can't wait for more epic CRPGs to release because of this, they are profitable when done right.
No more lame Action-Adventure games with RPG elements.

it's funny that i know you're lying because they still haven't fixed the grove battle bugging out if you steal the idol and have the druids fight the tieflings before the Minthara raid
the game soft-locks and Minthara and crew are stuck outside and you can never kill "all the druids"

it is a good game though
>the game soft locks if you choose clearly laid out binary choices >it's good though

unlike with Cyberpunk or Suicide Squad the fundamentals of BG3 are good enough to not look upon "bug fixes" with an eyeroll.

it apparently doesn't even happen all the time
if Larian doesn't fix it, a modder probably could do it

That's pretty good for a 100+ hour rpg, much shorter games have even less than that, far from a recent phenomena either. Considering the active playercount and genre it's probably people restarting with a new character.
Anons rightly complained about Cybermeme bugs and yet they praise this game even though numerous bugs are still there, half a year after launch.
Anons rightly complained about Mass Effect 3 endings and yet praise this game even though the endings are even worse. ME3 had RGB, BG3 has control or destroy. That's it.
Anons rightly complained about Owlkek's, Pillars, and other CRPGS for not giving actual choices that matter. And yet they praise this game even though it does the same exact thing.
Anons praise Larian for not falling for the usual dev shittery like cutting content or breaking their promises. Yet no one suddenly remembers that week before launch, Larian promised the Upper City. No one remembers promised Avernus. No one suddenly cares about 5+ storylines ending abruptly without any real ending.
BG3 is not a good game. It should have never been called Baldur's Gate. And not even 500 000 more redditors who didn't even finish the game will convince me otherwise.
>he thinks I spent 70 dollars on BG3

It is. He said and I quote "I go play games to have fun. And so we had to come up with some notion of what fun was. We knew it was an ad hoc definition, and it was the degrees to which the game recognizes and responded to the players choices and actions..."
So yeah it's out of context and I will not pretend it's not.
I have a confession to make. I did not care for Baldur Gate 3. I played it for 10-15 hours, tried multiple classes/ways to play, and still got bored of it. It wasn't fun to me.

Anons rightly complained about Mass Effect 3 endings and yet praise this game even though the endings are even worse. ME3 had RGB, BG3 has control or destroy. That's it.
Anons rightly complained about Owlkek's, Pillars, and other CRPGS for not giving actual choices that matter. And yet they praise this game even though it does the same exact thing.
Anons praise Larian for not falling for the usual dev shittery like cutting content or breaking their promises. Yet no one suddenly remembers that week before launch, Larian promised the Upper City. No one remembers promised Avernus. No one suddenly cares about 5+ storylines ending abruptly without any real ending.
BG3 is not a good game. It should have never been called Baldur's Gate. And not even 500 000 more redditors who didn't even finish the game will convince me otherwise.
BG3 was objectively not as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077 on release nor were the endings as unimpactful as "pick your color explosion" from ME3. You don't do your point any favors by making dishonest comparisons like this.
>BG3 was objectively not as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077
they were about the same. most of the footage from release was buried by youtube but I remember watching people floating off into nothing or falling through the floor a lot
>about the same
some VERY subversive people have successfully moved Cyberpunk's overton window from it's flawed fundamentals to the bugs that can be fixed.
it doesn't matter if BG3 was as buggy as Cyberpunk because BG3 is fundamentally a better RPG than Cyberpunk, full stop.
In other words, what holds Cyberpunk 2077 back aren't its bugs, its what they put in the game that DOES work.
>BG3 was objectively not as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077 on release
It was nearly there. Especially Act 3, which had multiple game breaking bugs. Most of those negative reviews on Steam are from this time. Frick, Act 3 is still buggy as hell. >nor were the endings as unimpactfu
Patently false. You can play the worst fricking murderhobo, but the main endings will still be the same.
>BG3 was objectively not as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077
they were about the same. most of the footage from release was buried by youtube but I remember watching people floating off into nothing or falling through the floor a lot
Cyberpunk 2077 was in a class of its own. People legitimately called the game unfixable with how busted it was.
>the main endings will still be the same
??? The gripe with mass effect was not about the lack of influence from renegade/paragon on the ending; rather, people were upset that the three different endings were literal palette swaps of either other. Lack of impact from your in-game choices on the epilogue is a fair critique against Larian; but that was both not the controversy with ME3 nor does BG3 approach that level of "frick it" with the endings.
I played BG3 200 hours on my first play and there were some bugs here and there that weren't substantial. They were just a drop in an ocean, and ultimately, it is impressive a game of that length and with that much going on only had so much bugs. I remember playing Kingmaker on launch and there was some video game in that bug. Same for DOS1 and 2. these games often ship almost unplayable. BG3 was playable at launch and all the issues with it were really superfluous, to me at least.
Writing did underwhelm me in act 3, but if we really grind down your post into the objective bits, no upper city is the only real complaint that stands. Trying to compare BG3 to cyberskunk is kinda inorganic discord troony/tencent schizo shitposting on your end, though. you overplayed your hand there.
Are they ever going to add more campaign stuff? I've held off on buying it ever since I learned of their lack of content/ cut content notably Karlach's 'good' endings (what was posed as good at launch was actually the neutral branch) which is unfortunate. Someone told me they did actually add content for Karlach but is this the completed "good" ending branches?
The idea that they're just "done" with it when it seems like a number of things including upper city doesn't make sense. Even if you forget about other CRPGs like Owlcat's or whatnot, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 both had updates and eventual Definitive Editions that added lots of new stuff, not to mention expansion type content.
>crazy what happens when people think that a game is made by people who are passionate about video games and not treating game dev as just a job
ftfy
most game devs are passionate if they weren't they wouldn't be game devs
For 6 fricking years it was the BOTWgays and the Tendies who were the insufferable homosexuals who wouldn't shut up about Nu-zelda. Somebody must have used the Monkey's Paw to get them to shut up because Baldtrannies and Tencent shills are even more obnoxious.
Contrariansisters, how could this be happening to us?
We spammed every BG3 with copypastas, we screeched about tencent woke, we schizoposted about tencent, but it did... nothing? Why do people, or sheeple, as I like to call them (I'm very smart) keep buying this woke slop blop plop?
I'm honestly gonna kill myself if Steam doesn't do something, this game must be banned!
You are the same moronic homosexual that has been repeating this useless sentence for a while now. Stop crying, not everyone has tastes as shitty as you. But hey, at least you have half a mil of normalgays on your side, c**t.
the politics of it all does get tiring
if you hate BG3 for woke, esg reasons, there's far bigger fish to fry in the form of Suicide Squad KTJL, Saints Row's "reboot", et cetera
if you hate BG3 because it appeals to "le evil gamers" there's far bigger fish to fry in the form of something like Kingdom Come: Deliverance which did NOTHING to appease "the message" unlike BG3, which did some things.
if you hate BG3 because it's immoral, or otherwise affects your religious sensibilities, you should be in prayer, helping your community, or creating something that affixes itself to those morals.
this is like Hannibal diverting his attack on Rome to fight some germanic tribes to the north FFS
it's past the point of cuteness now, it's a stale old clown show. this schizo needs to have another witcher 3 thread moment to resuscitate the show somewhat.
step 1: enter BG3 thread
step 2: the thread is an online mental asylum for lunatics
step 3: thank the god(s) or whatever the frick is up there that you aren't one of these miserable lunatics
Eric had a mental breakdown saying that BG3 was as bad as cyberpunk but that you should buy it anyway to "save the industry" and when he was confronted with his own stupidity he started talking to himself about how epicly he le trolled
that's some really transparent mental projection you're displaying there, bud. gaslighting people into not liking stuff is literally the bread and butter of miserable, mentally ill discord trannies like you.
>industry plants
Larian is a private company with no real connections to the industry.
Before BG3 dropped, the game had like 2 or 3 reviews out in the wild. Even for a solid 2 weeks after publication, the game had very few reviews.
All advertisement and marketing was done by Larian themselves, at their own studio, all events were attended by Larian developers including Swen.
Swen is also actively criticising the subscription models that the industry is pushing, and published an AAA game DRM free with no microtransactions, for $60, in 2023, when the entire industry is shifting beyond $70 + mandatory DRM and MTX for all games.
Larian is like the antithesis of game industry croniysm, and paid indians running smear them on imageboards like you are just another proof to add to the pile.

Deny all you want but it's quite conclusive.
>The story originally came from Chinese website Speed Daily, whose source was apparently a Tencent IEG insider. It claimed that Larian, the hero of DnD games after the triumph of Baldur’s Gate 3, was initially seen as a target buyer, but that, lacking the funds, this developer then introduced the deal to Tencent. >“We regularly talk to Tencent and enjoy multiple partnerships with them across a number of our IPs. We don’t make a habit of commenting on internet rumors, but to be clear: we are not looking to sell our D&D IP,” the company says.

It's the best RPG ever made. Where's the issue?
I don't browse Ganker that often anymore, and I generally just got bored of posting the pasta. it still baffles me just how angry people get over this game
Well eric when you make metrics bait threads and don't actually talk about the game most people posting in the thread are going to be calling you a moronic Black person
I don't know who that is, and I didn't make the thread, I just post my pasta whenever I see a BG3 thread in the catalogue. I used to do it quite frequently when every other thread was about BG3 when it first released. you've got the wrong anon
I too feel the need to go on autistic rage to defend games I like, as seeing someone criticize or even joke about something I like is akin to insulting me directly.
This game has completely broken Ganker >same metacritic score as Elden Ring >GOTY like Elden Ring >probably more longevity than Elden Ring
Completely mind broken
I was honestly expecting BG3 to pass along with only a few niche CRPG players giving a shit, and thought the unfortunate timing of Starfield would overshadow it.
I was not ready for it to be as good as it is (I enjoyed DOS2, but I didn't think Larian had it in them to do all that much better than that), much less for it to actually appeal to a shit ton of people outside the diehards.
It's going to be a while until we see something of this caliber for a bit, hopefully inspires more to attempt their dream game like Sven.
I wonder how many other studios are going to see Larian pulling this thing off and thinking that they need to make a "Baldur's Gate killer". We'll probably see a couple of AAA CRPGs soon.
I don't really see that happening, because BG3 worked because the CEO himself is a huge fan of the genre and allowed his devs to devote more time than would by typical for things they're personally really wanting to see done well (majority of all the extra bard stuff was from a dev who just really liked bards in D&D).
Other studios want to get out the easiest to make product for the maximum amount of money.
Now, DEVS might be inspired seeing that something like this still can have a big audience, but they're not going to be allowed to make it without someone who actually gives a shit in charge.
Even now, after seeing the success of the game, I look back and go, "What the hell were they THINKING? 100 million+ on a CRPG?!". Yeah there's just no way any company's going to try this.
I think it's more likely that tenured devs who own the source code to old games will attempt to "re-develop" them without having to start from scratch. Soooo mounds and mounds of new content, but very little that's actually good(because the original team moved on a long time ago) and probably will ruin the original version
it's the only other way they can make remasters more annoying, I fear there's a chance Warcraft 3 Reforged was only the beginning
What's there to disagree with eric? you posted a completely irrelevant factoid and are self bumping while saying "u mad". Mad at what eric? these threads are fricking moronic
So what's next? Pictures of copies of the game? >this picture contains copies of game, you are mad
lol, fricking moron
>There are very few games that have buck broken Ganker as hard as bg3 has.
It's fricking nuts. Full on conspiracy theory shit to justify in their heads why it could possibly be wildly successful when they personally hate it.
No, the general rule reviews are 1-2% from real sales, you could check it before gaben lobotomized steamspy. When the ratio differs it means somebody doing something suspicious.
First off, terraria has 1 million while also being overwhelmingly positive so this doesn't matter. 2nd, the game is pozzed out the ass and the combat is mind numbingly boring, so I have to asssume most of these reviews are bots.
The pozzed shit is way blown out of proportion. It's nowhere like the troony thing in the Siege of Dragonspear expansoin where it felt completely out-of-place in the setting.
The game's not preachy, they just exist, and they're not giving special protections that prevents you from doing shit to them you could do to any other NPC.
and how does that affect me?

Tencent marketers working overtime. I know BG3 is a good game but this is ahistorical nonsense and obviously artificial.
How come tencent doesn't do that to all their amazing games?
How do you know they don't?
Because not all their games have nearly as high a playercount as BG3 had
And you think that indicates what?
Obviously it indicates that Tencent doesn't artificially inflate all their games
Do you think it is applied evenly?
I don't think it's applied at all
How cute.
Why wouldn't it be?
If it's so easy for tencent to do and get away with, then there's no reason not to do it for every major release from devs they have stakes in.
You know you can literally check every single one of those 500,000 reviews and see if they're real people right?

Everyone remember this post when you hear something like "YOU DIDN'T EVEN PLAY THE GAME", they don't care if your opinion is well-informed or not. They don't care if you think the game is good or not. The ONLY thing they care about is that you put your money down and play the trash. That's their only goal. They want you to pay them. Don't buy the game, don't even pirate it with the anti-woke mods. It's not worth it. Play good games and let this slop be forgotten like all the ones that came before it.

if the woke stuff was so bad that he felt the need to give a bad review on that alone how did he play 100 more hours? is he an autistic gay that needs to turn every rock to check if there might be trannies under it?

That's only for a specific small time period and only if they provide proof of suspicious activity. Also, it removes all reviews, not only negative.
It makes it so reviews are actually about the game and not some /misc/shit about how the dev or some eceleb said something about the game.
Additionally, you can opt-out of it in your Steam settings and have the unchanged review numbers including the review bomb period.

You're awarded social media points if you grandstand about how good BG3 is on Twitter, Reddit, etc. Obviously people want to go out of their way to post a review.
Did any of these people finish the game? Act 3 is terrible. There's even a literal troony quest giver. It's like it was created by a different team than Act 1 and 2, the writing went to shit. It was like a slap in the face and no one is talking about it. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

>I feel like I'm taking crazy pills
I feel this way about the Act-3 consensus I see everywhere. Having spent about a hundred-ish hours in it, it's by far my favorite and it's not even close. I wonder if people just parrot what they hear, or if they just balk at the density of content because no one has an attention span anymore.
YWNBAW
Act 3 is jam packed with content to the point that it could've honestly been split into a 4th act. From sabotaging a newspaper to breaking out those ungrateful fricks from an underwater prison to fighting a dragon to a whole ass temple of murder. And yet you're screaming and crying about a singular character at a circus who has like 8 lines of dialogue. Christ you homosexuals are insufferable.
>JAM PACKED WITH CONTENT!
wow more shitty fights! The problem with Act 3 is that at the end of the game you're supposed to let things become focused, not frick around with moronic sidequests when stakes are theoretically at their highest.
If its insignificant, why is it in the game at all?
>If its insignificant, why is it in the game at all?
I'm sure the people that rated the game as good the very first day of release finished the game.
All these CRPG-newbies have it backwards. Act 3 was the first time the game opened up and felt like Baldur's Gate for me. Everything beforehand were Skyrim tier

>Did any of these people finish the game?
Around 40% finished Act 1.
4 (four) fricking percent of players finished Karlach's romance, one of the most popular characters.
This is what happens when a company that hates the originals (or is lead by a person who hates it) makes NewGame 3(tm) solely focused on normalgay enjoyment. The fact it has so many defenders on Gankereddit shows how fricking dead this board is.
BG3's endings are literally fricking worse than ME3 endings. Nothing matters. The fact that no one gives a frick shows how much the gaming as a hobby degraded. The normalgay infestation already reached critical point years ago.
since when was Karlach 'one of the most popular characters'
pretty sure everyone wants to frick Shart or Asstarian
She is literally the second most popular romance choice, anon. Look up Larian stats.
>4 (four) fricking percent of players finished Karlach's romance, one of the most popular characters.

Lae'zel is probably the best romance in the game that most people miss on because she is mean to them while being held in the cage right after crashing the squid ship.
>popular = objectively good choice
Who the frick said that? They were talking about popularity. Why do homosexuals that like the least popular option always do this, can't you read? Is following a reply chain too hard for you?
>Who the frick said that?
BG3 is a game that people are desperate to love for some reason. Like all those doppelganger/cultist fights were each some unique little rainbow or garbage like the printing press quest or Gale's gay cat were these epic quests
Skill issue.
All trannies and gays were killed in my playthrough.
Did you play it? act 3 was good.
I can understand why some people feel it was weaker than the other acts at the very least, the progression and storytelling of the previous acts did feel a lot more cohesive because of the level design, whereas the game opens up a lot more once you reach Baldurs Gate itself, and in comparison to the other acts, it can feel a little messy due to this. But terrible? take your meds and these breasts.

game is really fun still, personally I'm waiting for patch 6 to start my honor mode run
What's so special about patch 6?
More gay sex.
Minthara origin too apparently. don't know if true though. big if true
I highly fricking doubt it.
Would be amazing if true.
Now that I think about it, I remember hearing something about new camp interactions and "improved smooching" for a patch launching around Valentine's Day.
It's just a patch to help romance animations since the janky cutscenes still aren't finished yet
I read about it ages ago, it might not be patch 6 but it's allegedly in the pipeline. pinch of salt of course. I suspect they'll eventually come up with a less convoluted way of recruiting her since mods literally do it better
>I suspect they'll eventually come up with a less convoluted way of recruiting her
What do you mean?
You just have to knock her out now and she'll be at Moonrise.
You don't need to do that polymorph into sheep shit anymore. Blows my mind that people discovered how to do that.
they made a "proper" way
>have to steal something in front of her or just generally some kind of low crime
>she HAS to have the "temporarily hostile" tag
>knock her out
>she appears at moonrise later
>if you knock her out without the temporarily hostile tag she just dies
wheras mods do it so that she just needs to be knocked out which is just simpler with no wierd bullshit
Oh, I didn't know about the temporarily hostile thing.
Yeah, that's silly.
well it's cool they added it as an "official" way of recruiting her without the sheep jank, it's just a really strange roundabout way of doing it which makes me think there will be a better way in the future, ie just doing what the mod does
act 3 is not only a big step down in how you progress through it and the narrative, it's also way WAY buggier.
Apart from the usual bugs happening more often and performance being worse, it also has gamebreaking bugs that will just make you unable to progress the game at all. Like the one where the portraits of your main characters dissapear and you can't control them anymore, which I can tell you by experience that is not fun if you are doing an honor mode run
>it also has gamebreaking bugs that will just make you unable to progress the game at all
Like what?
>Like the one where the portraits of your main characters dissapear and you can't control them anymore
That's not a "game breaking" bug, all you have to do is close the game or just quit to main menu.
Act 3 felt longer than 1 and probably was also this
I haven't seen anyone talking about the actual troony who said they found solace and acceptance in the embrace of Shar aka female Satan. It was as bad as the drag clown if not worse.
>Act 3 felt longer than 1
It IS longer. It has so much content that when i was first playing it my brain started fizzing out.
>n the embrace of Shar aka female Satan
You know fictional charactes like Shar and Satan aren't real, right?
Act 3 is pretty garbage honestly. A lot of quests become very linear compared to being able to do basically whatever you can imagine to complete them from Act 1.
There's several where you're given no way to talk your way through, you can only complete with combat or possibly stealth.
The biggest offender for me was the fireworks shop one.
Maybe I had missed something but I couldn't figure how to get to the upper floor without invis/sneaking or fighting. I expected being able to bullshit my way up there like I could in similar instances in the past.
It's so interesting some people think that. Act 3 was my favorite part of the game (granted, I didn't get to Act 3 until after Patch 5, so I likely missed the majority of the original issues)
I think it's because people try to binge the entire game and after 60-70 hours they reach Rivington, which is admittedly kind of weak, and give up on the game.
Just here to see if schizo is still alive.
What the frick is your problem
I didn't leave my own review but it's overwhelmingly positive too. I don't leave a review for every game, just the ones that deserve a proper review.
It's just the best game of 2023. And it's been a long time we haven't seen a game like this.
God this game is fantastic. Will there be an expansion pack or some sorts
No, the ceo is already teasing a space game on his Twitter
Dont see it. As long it has the same mechanics as BG3 im okay with it. Didnt like the divinity games
If you love DND mechanics in video games, just WAIT until you try shoving broken glass up your rectum.
What BG3 is really missing is the two and a half minutes of scrolling through a pdf file to see how much damage you did
I've never seen someone as mindbroken as you, Tencent samegay.
>eric accusing others of samegayging
oh boy here we go
They'll probably do the dnd version of space called spelljamer, which is less Sci fi and more magic ships and space whales
Ok but it is a good game? I wasn't paying attention.
Good, it’s a great game, it deserves it.

If this were old Ganker everyone would’ve just had a chuckle and moved on not go on unhinged Fox News tier rants about it being a virtual porn game while threatening to get the game banned in Germany
the only people posting the webm were you morons spamming threads with it as the OP and a "Ganker IN SHAMBLES" or "THE BEAR THAT MINDBROKE Ganker" over and over again, trying to get a reaction

is there a mod to convert her back to normal with the power of dick yet?
Tragically no, but I like the Aylin/Isobel dynamic.
Nah frick all that.
I want to kill Isobel and then break Ayyyylin free and frick her senseless thinking about how I was the one who killed her one true love while busting a nut all over her face.
Only THEN can my BG3 experience be truly complete.
is this halsin or whoever?
his companion quest doesn't even finish, you never get to see the shadow curse lifted. fricking piece of shit game EVERY other companion has a similar quest that they just pretend is finished after the game is done even though they never botehred to actually finish it.

All the hype for BG3 seems astroturfed, I've never heard anyone irl talking about it
its a niche game, not for everyone
Most botted game of all time. Yes, more than Palworld.
Never even heard of Baldur's Gate until this game came out.

Hey eric when are you going to have a nice day
What's the current state of the game? Last I heard everything up to act 3 was pretty bug free, but I'm waiting to play until it's all polished
Pretty good from my experience. I did get a few conversation camera glitches and some minor viewmodel issues. Nothing that upset me.
I had a miniboss vanish into thin air with no xp given and then got softlocked because of level geometry. I played for maybe four hours total.
woke games always flop, except when they don't.
no it's not lmao, literal shit can get a positive rating on steam.
You have a positive rating on Steam?
No, bad games can. Didn't you read my post? How can a person get a Steam rating?
RE4R was fantastic and you aren't interesting for pretending like it was bad
>RE4R was fantastic
Wrong. Says a lot about the mentality of BG3gays though. You don't understand story or atmosphere.
This the bear game right?
How creepy. And they like it? Fortunately if I go out the chances of meeting one of them is almost zero because they never leave their basement.
Congrats, this should be good for the future of the WRPG genre which has taken a downhill since Skyrim launched.
Can't wait for more epic CRPGs to release because of this, they are profitable when done right.
No more lame Action-Adventure games with RPG elements.
homosexual thread about how half a million homosexuals love a homosexual game filled with homosexuals made by homosexuals for homosexuals.
Why was the ending so fricking bad? Everything from the Morphic Pool onward feels unfinished and rushed. Also the best ending (Gale bomb without any Flayers) feels hidden behind several layers of bullshit and contradictory dialogue. Rest of the game is pretty aight tho. Romancing Lae'zel then letting her leave with Orpheus + joining Wyll and Karlach in hell + promising to reunite with one another after you complete your separate missions is such a great ending though.
>it's only the ending that's bad
I generally enjoyed the rest of the game, yes.
>there are people that save scum dice rolls
imagine being too moronic to play DnD lmao
Being able to crit fail ability checks is moronic, so yes I will save scum.
being unable to adapt to bad rolls makes (You) the moron
Yuck, did they really put critical ability checks into BG3?
the entire game revolves around a homebrew dice roll dialogue check system that also relies on your skills
Dice rolls in dialog checks are not abnormal at a table. How does Larian frick it up?
shut the frick up eric
Frick off baitposter this shit already ruined TOTK threads.

Crit fails and successes
They did, yes. It also means your wizard with 5 strength could succeed a DC 20 strength check with a nat 20.

it is a good game though

nah
only found the idol bug on my latest playthrough
everything else fundamentals wise is a blast and that bug can be fixed
also so you can't accuse me of being a tencent shill west taiwan is rightful taiwanese clay
Nobody cares, the game is trash. That's cool you like playing a trash game, but don't claim the game soft locks easily and is good at the same time
nope, the game is good
If ESG weren't a thing it'd be even better cause you'd see stuff like the Underdark and maybe even the Abyss rendered with no holds barred
>it's a good game
>but it soft locks easily on quest progression
>it just needs 1000 more bugfixes
lol, larian is such a meme
unlike with Cyberpunk or Suicide Squad the fundamentals of BG3 are good enough to not look upon "bug fixes" with an eyeroll.
according to
it apparently doesn't even happen all the time
if Larian doesn't fix it, a modder probably could do it
Ser Aylin was a very complex mod with no official "mod tools" released yet
also mods that un-ESG a lot of if not all of the game
i guess the blackpill really is a suppository l o l
>fundamentals of BG3
Absolutely trash larian combat or the 2001 tier bioware cutscenes?
>2001 tier bioware cutscenes
i fail to see the problem
>trash larian combat
that's your opinion, I for one like the combat even if DnD 5e makes it snoozeworthy at times
That's weird because the game is just DOS 2 reskinned. Maybe that's why stupid people like it so much because they impulse bought it and the media told them it was good
Motherfricker, I want 500 IQ engaging gameplay I'll play Kenshi or Tenchu

>I'm mentally moronic
Yes I know, you're defending BG3
>Ser Aylin was a very complex mod with no official "mod tools" released yet
Small correction, there is no "ser aylin" mod. There is a mod that removes LGBT elements from the game, which includes genderbent Aylin.
originally it was standalone, if the mod author worked with the others to make a complete package, tis pretty gud all the same
It was not. Not sure why you're trying to argue with me about something you clearly have no idea about.
Nobody cares, troony. Frick off.
I was there when the creator first released the mod on Nexus and got axed by the bunch of homosexuals you silly homosexual https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM98vkJk4RE
you read only what you want to see.
That's not the creator, you moronic homosexual. That's some attention starved kid who stole the "ser aylin" part of the no alphabets mod and then passed it as their own.
Do you have evidence to backup these accusations?
projection.
damage control isn't necessary for successful games
>yeah BG3 is trash and I'm damage controlling for it, but it made money

I'm happy to see good games make money.
you like to see good games make no money for political purposes.
We are not the same.
He didn't say it was trash though, have you taken your meds?
He did say it was trash, he literally admitted to it being as buggy as cyberpunk, now he's saying he's glad it made money

ohhhh i get it now
i don't really play a lot of modern trash so i have no frame of reference. if I was a normalgay playing every single FOTM game i would probably find BG3 amazing too
too bad i don't engage in such silly behaviour and as a result find BG3 quite mid
I've played BG3 right after I finished my BG2 replay. I just can't do it, man. The writing is so fricking incredibly bad in comparison. The arstyle, too.
The real creator is this guy
https://rpghq.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1122-no-alphabets-4-3-0-baldur-s-gate-3
He's been working on his mod since October. I just noticed that thief is also asking money on subscribestar for a stolen mod. I wonder how many idiots are going to fall for the scam.
They're on the same team you fricking moron, Yedlike talks about this, including orinesque indirectly when referencing not all the team agreeing on everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQV0FvOp8ic&t=220s
Pic related is Orinesque confirming the statements.
There's no team, you stupid moron. Orin is the sole creator of the mod, with some people offering help from time to time. You can comb through the thread and see the exact progress of the mod. Yedlike stole it, didn't credit the original creator, passed it as their own and is scamming gullible morons.
So Sophocles, If Yedlike "stole" it, why did Orin apologize to Yedlike for differences they had on the team?
Why is Orin crediting her for "speaking out" and continuing modding?
Still waiting, homosexual.

If you want to mod out gays or whatever fine, but it seems twice as pathetic to make a big deal about
>uh there were no queers in medieval societies as far as I was told by some talking head tradcath larper on youtube, so this world with orcs, elves, tiefling, gobins, demons and squid monsters where magic is real and various gods interact with people on an individual level would be unrealistic if we didn't remove the gay!
Its really just a case of not liking or finding queers gross and okay if you want to mod them away fine, but don't fall back on 'realism' in the setting.

That's pretty good for a 100+ hour rpg, much shorter games have even less than that, far from a recent phenomena either. Considering the active playercount and genre it's probably people restarting with a new character.
i get why people like this game but i don't get why they do it to such extent

Why do you always use this quote out of context?
It's not out of context and that's what pisses you off.
Gabe meant exactly what he said, seethe
>It's not out of context
It is. He said and I quote "I go play games to have fun. And so we had to come up with some notion of what fun was. We knew it was an ad hoc definition, and it was the degrees to which the game recognizes and responded to the players choices and actions..."
So yeah it's out of context and I will not pretend it's not.
I have a confession to make. I did not care for Baldur Gate 3. I played it for 10-15 hours, tried multiple classes/ways to play, and still got bored of it. It wasn't fun to me.
That's meaningless on a platform that deletes negative reviews.
Were you really sitting there refreshing the page to capture the exact moment it hit 500,000 reviews?
Fricking virgin.
yes
I will never understand why anyone praises the combat in larian games. They are so braindead easy it is insulting.
Anons rightly complained about Cybermeme bugs and yet they praise this game even though numerous bugs are still there, half a year after launch.
Anons rightly complained about Mass Effect 3 endings and yet praise this game even though the endings are even worse. ME3 had RGB, BG3 has control or destroy. That's it.
Anons rightly complained about Owlkek's, Pillars, and other CRPGS for not giving actual choices that matter. And yet they praise this game even though it does the same exact thing.
Anons praise Larian for not falling for the usual dev shittery like cutting content or breaking their promises. Yet no one suddenly remembers that week before launch, Larian promised the Upper City. No one remembers promised Avernus. No one suddenly cares about 5+ storylines ending abruptly without any real ending.
BG3 is not a good game. It should have never been called Baldur's Gate. And not even 500 000 more redditors who didn't even finish the game will convince me otherwise.
BG3 was objectively not as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077 on release nor were the endings as unimpactful as "pick your color explosion" from ME3. You don't do your point any favors by making dishonest comparisons like this.
>BG3 was objectively not as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077
they were about the same. most of the footage from release was buried by youtube but I remember watching people floating off into nothing or falling through the floor a lot
>about the same
some VERY subversive people have successfully moved Cyberpunk's overton window from it's flawed fundamentals to the bugs that can be fixed.
it doesn't matter if BG3 was as buggy as Cyberpunk because BG3 is fundamentally a better RPG than Cyberpunk, full stop.
In other words, what holds Cyberpunk 2077 back aren't its bugs, its what they put in the game that DOES work.
>BG3 was objectively not as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077

>BG3 was objectively not as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077 on release
It was nearly there. Especially Act 3, which had multiple game breaking bugs. Most of those negative reviews on Steam are from this time. Frick, Act 3 is still buggy as hell.
>nor were the endings as unimpactfu
Patently false. You can play the worst fricking murderhobo, but the main endings will still be the same.
Cyberpunk 2077 was in a class of its own. People legitimately called the game unfixable with how busted it was.
>the main endings will still be the same
??? The gripe with mass effect was not about the lack of influence from renegade/paragon on the ending; rather, people were upset that the three different endings were literal palette swaps of either other. Lack of impact from your in-game choices on the epilogue is a fair critique against Larian; but that was both not the controversy with ME3 nor does BG3 approach that level of "frick it" with the endings.
I played BG3 200 hours on my first play and there were some bugs here and there that weren't substantial. They were just a drop in an ocean, and ultimately, it is impressive a game of that length and with that much going on only had so much bugs. I remember playing Kingmaker on launch and there was some video game in that bug. Same for DOS1 and 2. these games often ship almost unplayable. BG3 was playable at launch and all the issues with it were really superfluous, to me at least.
Writing did underwhelm me in act 3, but if we really grind down your post into the objective bits, no upper city is the only real complaint that stands. Trying to compare BG3 to cyberskunk is kinda inorganic discord troony/tencent schizo shitposting on your end, though. you overplayed your hand there.
Are they ever going to add more campaign stuff? I've held off on buying it ever since I learned of their lack of content/ cut content notably Karlach's 'good' endings (what was posed as good at launch was actually the neutral branch) which is unfortunate. Someone told me they did actually add content for Karlach but is this the completed "good" ending branches?
The idea that they're just "done" with it when it seems like a number of things including upper city doesn't make sense. Even if you forget about other CRPGs like Owlcat's or whatnot, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 both had updates and eventual Definitive Editions that added lots of new stuff, not to mention expansion type content.
I will never play a game that encourages bestiality.
Crazy what happens when a game is made by people who are passionate about video games and not treating game developer as just a job
The industry STILL seethes because of this, case and point
it's fricking weird, because Larian is on "their side" politically, they just happen to also like games, which is a big no no I guess.
>if you tell me to kill myself for damage controlling for BG3 you are everything wrong with the industry
these threads man
>passionate about video games
They release an unfinished, shallow, static piece of shit?
>crazy what happens when people think that a game is made by people who are passionate about video games and not treating game dev as just a job
ftfy
most game devs are passionate if they weren't they wouldn't be game devs
For 6 fricking years it was the BOTWgays and the Tendies who were the insufferable homosexuals who wouldn't shut up about Nu-zelda. Somebody must have used the Monkey's Paw to get them to shut up because Baldtrannies and Tencent shills are even more obnoxious.
I can't believe this game still causes so much butthurt.
Contrariansisters, how could this be happening to us?
We spammed every BG3 with copypastas, we screeched about tencent woke, we schizoposted about tencent, but it did... nothing? Why do people, or sheeple, as I like to call them (I'm very smart) keep buying this woke slop blop plop?
I'm honestly gonna kill myself if Steam doesn't do something, this game must be banned!
Honestly same sister, we can't let BG3 (bald gay bear sex 3, as we intellectuals call it) keep winning.
This is a clear j*wish subversion.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. We're gonna make it, contrariansisters. Trust the plan!

the politics of it all does get tiring
if you hate BG3 for woke, esg reasons, there's far bigger fish to fry in the form of Suicide Squad KTJL, Saints Row's "reboot", et cetera
if you hate BG3 because it appeals to "le evil gamers" there's far bigger fish to fry in the form of something like Kingdom Come: Deliverance which did NOTHING to appease "the message" unlike BG3, which did some things.
if you hate BG3 because it's immoral, or otherwise affects your religious sensibilities, you should be in prayer, helping your community, or creating something that affixes itself to those morals.
this is like Hannibal diverting his attack on Rome to fight some germanic tribes to the north FFS
Cyberpunk is the better game.
Elden Ring
Baldur's Gate 3
Cyberpunk 2077
three excellent games
Yes, but cyberpunk is the best of the 3.
BG3 haters are the most dishonest posters on Ganker. By a fricking mile.
It's not that I hate BG3, I just think its the lesser of the game compared to cyberpunk.
anyone else think its really cute how mad Ganker gets about this game? especially since it won GOTY?
Ganker has been infested with cronyism for a long time, it's expected at this point.
it's past the point of cuteness now, it's a stale old clown show. this schizo needs to have another witcher 3 thread moment to resuscitate the show somewhat.
eric quit talking to yourself
I don't want to talk about this
There are other threads on Ganker. Is someone holding a gun to your hear forcing you to be here? Fricking moron.
Welcome to post-2016 Ganker(nel).
Now we have Honor Mode. Which is great and more people should play it. It is the way the game should be played.
this thread is boring
about as boring as the game
palworld is better
>more players
>200k+ positive reviews, no doubt it will overtake BG3 eventually
your days are numbered bg3gays
step 1: enter BG3 thread
step 2: the thread is an online mental asylum for lunatics
step 3: thank the god(s) or whatever the frick is up there that you aren't one of these miserable lunatics
Eric had a mental breakdown saying that BG3 was as bad as cyberpunk but that you should buy it anyway to "save the industry" and when he was confronted with his own stupidity he started talking to himself about how epicly he le trolled
repeat ad infinitum
Players? Bots. Reviews? Bots. Devs? Bots. Steam? Bots. You the reader? Bot.
homosexual troony Gate.
It's good to know people can be gaslit into liking a game
that's some really transparent mental projection you're displaying there, bud. gaslighting people into not liking stuff is literally the bread and butter of miserable, mentally ill discord trannies like you.
you can like a game, but making threads about metrics is astroturfing
and be gaslit into mindlessly defending obvious industry plants as well, wow
>industry plants
Larian is a private company with no real connections to the industry.
Before BG3 dropped, the game had like 2 or 3 reviews out in the wild. Even for a solid 2 weeks after publication, the game had very few reviews.
All advertisement and marketing was done by Larian themselves, at their own studio, all events were attended by Larian developers including Swen.
Swen is also actively criticising the subscription models that the industry is pushing, and published an AAA game DRM free with no microtransactions, for $60, in 2023, when the entire industry is shifting beyond $70 + mandatory DRM and MTX for all games.
Larian is like the antithesis of game industry croniysm, and paid indians running smear them on imageboards like you are just another proof to add to the pile.
>Larian is a private company with no real connections to the industry.
>trying to sell DnD to the chinese
>Larian is Hasbro
moron
No larian is tencent
>Larian is trying to sell DnD to itself
You have measurable brain damage. There's no way in hell you're not one or two toes above mental moronation.
Yes larian (which is partly owned by tencent) is negotiating with hasbro to sell the DnD IP to the communist chinese
so you're objectively wrong about them being the "antithesis to industry cronyism" or whatever

Okay but the negotiations to sell DnD were with hasbro, not wizards. Wizards has no say over if the IP is sold
Deny all you want but it's quite conclusive.
>The story originally came from Chinese website Speed Daily, whose source was apparently a Tencent IEG insider. It claimed that Larian, the hero of DnD games after the triumph of Baldur’s Gate 3, was initially seen as a target buyer, but that, lacking the funds, this developer then introduced the deal to Tencent.
>“We regularly talk to Tencent and enjoy multiple partnerships with them across a number of our IPs. We don’t make a habit of commenting on internet rumors, but to be clear: we are not looking to sell our D&D IP,” the company says.
Here's one more for the sake of it.

I consider this matter settled, it's over.

you're the one denying (and spamming)
wizards has no say if DnD is sold to the chinese

stop trying to take credit for white man's company, tiny dick wumao
>you're the one denying
Nah, thats you.
A WotC exec shut down the rumour. WotC is a subsidiary of Hasbro. They can't comment on these topics and IP policy independently of the IP holder.
wizards has no say in if the D&D IP is sold to the chinese
And thats why you are wrong. This Wizards exec is just a mouth piece for the IP holder. Any more schizo lunacy you want to discuss?
Uh you don't understand how subsidiaries work apparently

BG3 is great but stop using botched game journalists to lie about Tencent wanting to buy D&D(which they've wanted to do for years for pinko china reasons)

interesting subversion tactic.
a bunch of devs start talking about how BG3 is the most impressivest game ever and nothing they make will ever match it sure doesn't sound suspicious
a bunch of articles and known paid shills acting like it's the best RPG ever made is totally organic and natural
>bunch of devs start talking about how BG3 is the most impressivest game ever
You mean seething about it and saying "don't hold us up to those standards"? You wouldn't be referring to Josh Sawyer would you, you moronic discord troony?
Wasn't it more like
>don't expect everybody to waste 100 million dollars on eurojank slop cutscenes
No, discord transcel, it wasn't.
>don't expect every game dev to get 100 million dollars to waste
what's wrong with this?
>Get
Larian earned that 100 million. we've entered the age of AAA indie developers.
>Larian earned that 100 million
how's that you dumb Black person
by reinvesting the profits from divinity original sin, and going early access, they had to bid for the rights to develop Baldur's gate 3, saywer and owl cat did too, they won out mainly from the sucess DoS, they risked it and made bank, becuse they actually made the game they wanted to make and didn't have a publisher breating down thier neck, we could do with more companies like them.
>larian didn't get 100 million dollars from wizards because otherwise criticism of BG3 makes sense
sounds like a personal problem
Nothing. They made that money. Not that 100 million is even much. Turdfield probably cosy 5 times that and it's a steaming pile of shit that flopped so hard that pajeetsoft is laying off thousands of employees and changing its future policy.
>they made 100 million dollars
no I'm pretty sure larian was given 100 million dollars and they couldn't even finish the game, also you're samegayging
Keep screeching, pajeet.
By the by, do you have a single source for this 100 milly figure or is it another piece of made up conspiracy theory feces you wrenched out of the bottomless chasm that is your anus?
Even if I posted a source you would samegay and deny it, or ignore it completely and bring up some other random subject and samegay that
>y-you wouldn't believe me anyway
So I looked up this guy's claim and the "source", the single source of the 100 mill claim in the entire Internet is none other than Josh Sawyer , seething moggee extraordinaire.
>if you don't post a source I'll make one up
eric when are you going to have a nice day
I still see Josh seething about the game. It seems to be a permanent status effect now.
Has he said more beyond "don't expect this kind of thing beyond this game" or "if I had BG3's budget" type stuff? I haven't kept up.
>a bunch of devs start talking about how BG3 is the most impressivest game ever and nothing they make will ever match it sure doesn't sound suspicious
They said the same thing about TOTK. Some gay devs hyping up a game they like on twitter doesn't mean shit.
>a bunch of articles and known paid shills acting like it's the best RPG ever made is totally organic and natural
It's the best RPG ever made. Where's the issue?
Well...it IS the Greatest Game of all Time of course...!!!
It's true!
All hail Larian! All hail Swen!
Peace and advantage rolls for ALL anons!
Good to know you're still around, thought you'd killed yourself.
I don't browse Ganker that often anymore, and I generally just got bored of posting the pasta. it still baffles me just how angry people get over this game
Well eric when you make metrics bait threads and don't actually talk about the game most people posting in the thread are going to be calling you a moronic Black person
I don't know who that is, and I didn't make the thread, I just post my pasta whenever I see a BG3 thread in the catalogue. I used to do it quite frequently when every other thread was about BG3 when it first released. you've got the wrong anon
>Larian owns DnD
This schizo is really the gift that keeps giving
bear sex sells
Take out all the degeneracy and homosexual propaganda and the game would have sold 90% less, even if is a fun game.
You're probably right, I honestly forgot about this game entirely until the moronic bear sex meme.
I’m part of the 5%
The characters look so bad I have 0 interest in playing the game so I don't even know what you do or why people say it's good.
In my mind they're all shit eating trannies.
Numbers don't matter.
Trooners Gate 3 still sucks.
Remove Larian troons
And still no voice when you raise him from the dead. Why?
I just went through that part and assumed this was a bug.
I thought so too the first I encountered this, but no it's not a bug he has no voice.
How many sales?
Two fiddy.
only about 3% of people leave a review on average so you do the math
I too feel the need to go on autistic rage to defend games I like, as seeing someone criticize or even joke about something I like is akin to insulting me directly.
>orgin - Lae'Zel
>bully/rape target - Shadowheart
Yep, it's gaming time
I still won't play your troony game.
Not really that impressive when you realize a lot of them are just bots.
Interesting how they are absent from Stellar Blade threads when tencent own 25% of them as well.
Or From Software or Epic Games. But he's just mindbroken so it doesn't really matter.
Is eric samegay spamming stellar blade threads saying it's the best game ever
This game has completely broken Ganker
>same metacritic score as Elden Ring
>GOTY like Elden Ring
>probably more longevity than Elden Ring
Completely mind broken
So, what are the sales numbers? They still haven't said anything. You'd think they'd want to boast about it if they were so good.
It's probably still selling pretty well so there's not much point releasing them now
and an average of 1 hour played between all of them. impressive
Hey, it's an hour more than most journalists.
I was honestly expecting BG3 to pass along with only a few niche CRPG players giving a shit, and thought the unfortunate timing of Starfield would overshadow it.
I was not ready for it to be as good as it is (I enjoyed DOS2, but I didn't think Larian had it in them to do all that much better than that), much less for it to actually appeal to a shit ton of people outside the diehards.
It's going to be a while until we see something of this caliber for a bit, hopefully inspires more to attempt their dream game like Sven.
I wonder how many other studios are going to see Larian pulling this thing off and thinking that they need to make a "Baldur's Gate killer". We'll probably see a couple of AAA CRPGs soon.
*being announced soon
I don't really see that happening, because BG3 worked because the CEO himself is a huge fan of the genre and allowed his devs to devote more time than would by typical for things they're personally really wanting to see done well (majority of all the extra bard stuff was from a dev who just really liked bards in D&D).
Other studios want to get out the easiest to make product for the maximum amount of money.
Now, DEVS might be inspired seeing that something like this still can have a big audience, but they're not going to be allowed to make it without someone who actually gives a shit in charge.
Even now, after seeing the success of the game, I look back and go, "What the hell were they THINKING? 100 million+ on a CRPG?!". Yeah there's just no way any company's going to try this.
I think it's more likely that tenured devs who own the source code to old games will attempt to "re-develop" them without having to start from scratch. Soooo mounds and mounds of new content, but very little that's actually good(because the original team moved on a long time ago) and probably will ruin the original version
it's the only other way they can make remasters more annoying, I fear there's a chance Warcraft 3 Reforged was only the beginning
That's how video games used to be made.
lol I was in this thread like 6 hours ago. People are STILL seething about the game?
Incredibly successful games get the most seethe typically.
Otherwise nobody would actually give a shit this long after release.
It's genuinely the best CRPG to come out in a decade. Maybe more.
True.
Nothing makes people seethe more than seeing something they don't like being praised.
Incelbros, the Larianfans are laughing at us again....
Aren't those the same thing?
I don't play NTR games.
>this stupid eric thread is still going
what's next, pictures of copies of the game for the OP?
>every post i disagree with is my one singular boogeyman
You need to see a doctor.
What's there to disagree with eric? you posted a completely irrelevant factoid and are self bumping while saying "u mad". Mad at what eric? these threads are fricking moronic
So what's next? Pictures of copies of the game?
>this picture contains copies of game, you are mad
lol, fricking moron
is "eric" in the room with you right now?
you need more lines eric
He's a moron troll/possibly the real Eric trying to poison the well. Just ignore him
BG3
>500,000 reviews
Holy fricking Hell. I remember it taking literal years for Half Life 2 and Portal to have that many reviews for their games.
So much mindbroken ree'ing ITT. What a thread.
>you need more lines eric
>ctrl+f "eric"
>32 results
Someone is really obsessed.
There are very few games that have buck broken Ganker as hard as bg3 has.
I'm just glad CRPGs seem to be back, at least for the time being.
>There are very few games that have buck broken Ganker as hard as bg3 has.
It's fricking nuts. Full on conspiracy theory shit to justify in their heads why it could possibly be wildly successful when they personally hate it.
it really has been the gift that keeps on giving.
Lol, if it were real numbers it would mean they sold 50 million copies.
The general rule used in the industry is 'number of reviews x 25'. So it'd be more around 12.5mil copies.
No, the general rule reviews are 1-2% from real sales, you could check it before gaben lobotomized steamspy. When the ratio differs it means somebody doing something suspicious.
500 gorillion sales, a new record!
This anon here has the correct answer.
Not sure where the idiot got the 50 million number
First off, terraria has 1 million while also being overwhelmingly positive so this doesn't matter. 2nd, the game is pozzed out the ass and the combat is mind numbingly boring, so I have to asssume most of these reviews are bots.
Not playing a gigapozzed goyslopmaxxed game that caters to beta ꜱoy guzzling homotroonoids and Black personisraelites.
dilate, troon
you will never be a femoid
The pozzed shit is way blown out of proportion. It's nowhere like the troony thing in the Siege of Dragonspear expansoin where it felt completely out-of-place in the setting.
The game's not preachy, they just exist, and they're not giving special protections that prevents you from doing shit to them you could do to any other NPC.
Not good enough, I don't want a single one of these homotroon degenerates depicted, let alone exist, in my planet.
>The game's not preachy
RPG of the Decade, and it's not even close.
