The sales of BG3 on PS and especially Xbox won't surpass the sales on PC. PC players are more open minded when it comes to games like this. Console players aren't. Also, this is a PC franchise like Cyberpunk 2077. Remember how that game had more pre-orders than both the PS4 and Xbox one combined?
Wait, only a little more than half the people who were selected actually played? God damn, I love that I am the bottom rung for getting picked on these because they have to make sure every homosexual with a single subscriber on YouTube can get priority access and not even fricking play it.
>Consoles
Who gives a shit? Imagine owning one of those overly expensive fricking bricks with no mod support or 3rd party software.
Fricking garbage locked down PCs anyway running on x86, nothing is inhouse anymore.
just fyi, the numbers aren't going to last. millions of people don't actually find crpgs fun. the only reason it blew up is because normies saw the funny bear meme and decided to buy the game on a whim without looking into what kind of game it actually is. they don't care or want to play a boring game with roleplaying, stat checks, dice rolling, and worst of all, turn based gameplay. they want fun and fast paced gameplay with satisfying feedback, stuff like fromsoftware games. the game is actually quite bad and boring and more people are realizing this. it's just a fad.
>it's not going to last people are going to hate it
No homosexual, this means BG3 is many's first CRPG and over time it's going to have an audience who will want more. Same shit happened with Witcher 3, Elden Ring, Skyrim, and many other series.
It expands what's considered a common game genre, just like how Stardew Valley lead to an explosion of farming sims and comfy games. And with Microsoft owning both Blizzard and Obsidian as well as Bethesda we were really struggling to have proper isometric RPGs being made outside of Larian when they hit it good with the two Source Saga games.
Anon, tweens and teenagers exist. They don't know what they like yet. I didn't know I liked RPG's until I played Jade Empire for the first time at age 11, after which I went and played everything else Bioware had, well, until DA:I. Same with JRPG's, nothing in that genre caught my eye until Persona 4 when I was 15. That's just how interests are formed. You don't know if you like something until you try it for yourself. Will everyone who is playing BG3 right now automatically become a lifelong CRPG fan? Probably not. But it sets a precedent, and that's important. Just like the other anon said, until Stardew, farming games were super niche and a rarely talked about genre. Now? Even my brother-in-law who is a super serious Navy guy is addicted to farming simulator. Bottom line: Everything in the world is always in a state of flux and always will be. Big genres will become small, small genres will become big. Things change.

This is me after around 40s hours. I'm in Act 2 and thinking about dropping the game. I really hate this dnd combat shit. Its so boring and tedious. I don't even hate all turn based games as I loved the 2 modern xcom games and I even liked Midnight Suns last year.
I'm considering refunding on steam while I still can. I think the story parts can be quite fun and some of the characters make me laugh or I think r cool but that just isn't work 80$ to me when a movie is 20$(or free) and will do all of that better.

Last year VG awards, they showcased a new trailer revealing the final release date, showing returning characters like Minsc, even on Ganker a lot of people didn't know about him.
yeah, it was a bit sad, I mean BG is a big name on WRPG, it was an odd silence, with almost zero applause. On the general chat there was people who thought it was Kratos
Ganker would have a meltdown over how reddit minsc is with his space hamster companion
its a good thing noone here has played it
BG threads already have people that seethe at Minsc
Beside this, I think that Larian bet that people will recognize Minsc as a meme on the trailer and that will make people scream, they showed also Jaheira, but again no one cared.

Last year VG awards, they showcased a new trailer revealing the final release date, showing returning characters like Minsc, even on Ganker a lot of people didn't know about him.
Uhh... Why did they give him Halsin's face?
I honestly thought this was supposed to be the same guy, but apparently not. They just share the exact same face type which they didn't even bother to change around.
Minsc was cringe back then, and he's cringe now.
But cringe was a much rarer commodity back then, so it was easier to stomach.
Now he suffers from being cringe in a cringe saturated market.
Plenty of people were actually mad about Minsc in BG2 because of how they played up that angle a lot.
In BG1 his hamster stuff was just a cute little obscure reference to Spelljammer and his primary motivation was Dynaheir.
The bear thing was on every media outlet, people is curious, include sex and it will call the attention for sure. BG3 gained a lot of traction after this.
Any Baldur's Gate fan was just exhausted by how much Minsc has been shittily introduced into everything, NWN MMO, some shitty 5e comic book. I groaned when I saw him.
He doesn't even have the right VA anymore.
For good or for bad, he become sort of popular, I mean, there is a reason of why Larian did a trailer showcasing him as a returning character. The thing is no one recognize him on chat/forums or even here on Ganker so he is not well known outside the fandom. My bet is Larian thought the character was popular enough thanks to memes and shit.
> I didnt know Baldurs Gate was this popular
It's not. Baldur's Gate uses AD&D ruleset, which is the only really good D&D ruleset for CRPGs. BG3 has nothing to do with BG1/2 except that the setting is stolen from those games.
>BG3 has nothing to do with BG1/2 except that the setting is stolen from those games. >Be owner of IP >pay someone to make another game in the setting >This is theft
The seethe is off the charts. I know Ganker is contrarian central but damn.
Why the frick one of the best games ever made is so popular, am I rite? >oh but I don't like it!!!
Then frick you bro. You got shit taste. Deal with it.
there is nothing contrived or contrarian about being confused about elden rings popularity
it was an entirely social phenomenon, spread by word of mouth, had nothing to do with the games quality, which is nothing to write home about at all. yet another souls game, whoopee.
>there is nothing contrived or contrarian about being confused about elden rings popularity
and you don't even have the self awareness to realize you just doubled down on being a contrarian by insisting it isn't contrarian. >It's a social phenomenon bro >uh no the company having an extraordinary track record for the last 5 titles they released has nothing to with it
We all know that most people aren't even going to get halfway through act 1, but still, it's impressive to see how normalgays actaully even considered playing the game to begin with. Was the marketing really that good?
Genuinely yes. Thanks to Critical Role, DnD is now synonymous with wacky fantasy hijinks. The Bear Sex scene (ESPECIALLY the flabberghasted squirrel) was confirmation that it is just as troglodytes intended. DnD is dead, Matt Mercer killed it. It's popular now, but it's complete slop, and will forever be like that.
Yes because literally every single one of my friends began talking about it whenever I brought up BG3.

Woah, we got a socialite here with so many irl friends he has to post and mock people on a Vietnamese fly fishing message board. You are so fricking cool dood, send me your addy so I can come suck that dick.
I don't think you realize just how much the pandemic revitalized table top games. They have a more complex barrier for entry because you need multiple people for a campaign, so having a single player D&D campaign that has a ton of depth that rivals the tabletop game has a large audience.
>Was the marketing really that good?
I mean, all the stuff posted here is even making me want to buy it. But I'm keeping my expectations in check. There are already lots of negative reviews for it so I'm staying away. It seems like a very 50/50 game. You'll either love it or hate it
depends on whether you like the battle system, some people say it's boring, but it's basically fantasy X-COM
the only major problem with the game is they went too far with the loose gender/sexuality/romance mechanics so you can't just be bros with your party
everything else is god tier RPG
I didn't notice the game until I saw a crowd of game developers preemptively doing damage control on Twitter and complaining that BG3 was going to be too good.
I didn't notice either before the funny gay bear sex stream
I swear, like two months ago BG3 threads barely got 100 replies and never reached bump limit
BG3 appeals to coomers of multiple demographics, given its DA:O origins.
DnD being popular now that's to critical role, etc. Plus old timers want forgotten realms not spelljammer shjit.
CRPG gamer autismos thought rtwp was a good system when in actuality people were crying out for a low apm comfy turn-based system they could pause, save and leave behind when someone visited irl, etc.
Ganker tends to forget that DOS was crack cocaine for catladies who lived their evenings under a throw with a coffee in their hand and a cat in their lap.
Can we all agree this is more embarrassing for the chuds than the hogwarts shit was for the left? The chud meltdowns over this game were 10x as big and the game has smashed expectations while hogwarts was already expected to sell well anyway.
Yes anon, you owned the chuddies, they all hate the game and it's not just a vocal minority on Ganker wanting every AAA release to fail
Feel free to go back to twitter or reddit to celebrate with your leftie friends
The right was literally flooding the internet with calls to boycott it. Did you miss when this board was nothing but bear sex threads? Don't try and pretend it didn't happen now that the woke game is a massive success.
>The right was literally flooding the internet with calls to boycott it.
When? Where?
I go on some fairly rightwing rpg boards and no one anywhere I go did more than point and laugh or say that it was going to be shit.
No talks of boycott here either.
You should seriously consider them if you're this desperate for a "win" over something so inconsequential.
The closest i've seen is some on here calling it shit.
As for the shitty Hogwarts game you sperged out over?

I remember that thread. Pretty sure the dude was just pretending to be moronic because he straight up said he watched beastiality porn and was calling everyone Black folk, trannies, israelites, etc. and telling them to kill themselves (while living in a pansy ass homosexual country where the government literally monitors people's online activity and arrests them for internet hate speech)
More like: third of people were mad, another third were making fun of people who were mad and the last third questioning if this was a shilling campaign.
>hogwarts shit was for the left? The chud meltdowns over this game were 10x as big
trannies were literally disowning friends and family members for playing the game they made an entire site just to track streamers who play the game so they could harass them
No.
Unlike the political-brains here I’ve actually played the game.
I wouldn’t consider it political enough to be a win for any side.
Having some janky sex scenes doesn’t make it political imo.
There are close to a million people wading waist deep through the plot right now, yet none have come forth to whine on Ganker about ideologically charged writing.
It’s a true neutral aligned game.
Hogwarts had tran- *ahem* ‘the mentally ill’ leading a witch hunt against anyone who dared play the game publicly.
Yet everyone played it anyways.
I consider that a total loss of face for them.
I'm just amazed at how effective advertising is on people and how easily some get swept up into hype. I've seen people who bought this on steam who have never shown any interest in rpg's before. I bet 90% of them won't play more than a couple hours, but something still got them to make that purchase.
I mean good for them I guess, but the sheer popularity of the game was definitely a result of the early access sales model. Lots of people already bought the game and made videos and hyped it up even going back a year or so. I just hope this means that everyone else doesn't start doing the same thing with their games. I will never buy an early access game.
Really the ‘early access’ in Larian games is more akin to how ground zeroes was for MGS5.
A little vertical slice to play around in that game people an idea of how the main game would play.
It’s a little more reassuring when the dev is saying “we will add this thing we already have working, but just more of it”
rather than “we will totally add enough for it to be fun bro trust us.”
But yeah EA can easily be a complete cancer rest.
they're harvesting votes
leftists rented internet cafes in atlanta to run 50 instances of bg3 each, artificially inflating player numbers
investigate 3/11
the first time this game takes a dip on a quiet Tuesday afternoon this whole board will be like "aha flop confirmed lmao". Then when it goes back up on Saturday night they will be like "hmm suspicious"
what I'm trying to say is. Ganker is full of gays.
They do update correctly, but anyone who launched the game at least once is counted as player. That's why most games don't have 100% on an achievement that you can get by playing for 5 minutes, someone installed the game, launched, but just didn't play it for some reason.
It's not janky MMO tier, but it's not great either.
I don't know how long it would take to do Descent From Avernus, but normally the "Take Your First Step" achievements has about 80-90% completion.
if you don't know shit about d&d, making your character is EXTREMELY daunting. they're probably sitting there watching a youtube video trying to figure out the difference between sorc, wizard, and warlock and then all the sub classes.
the tooltips don't really do that much to showcase the differences and it's not exactly cut and dry what classes do what for people not already interested in d&d. like for the wowgays that end up buying it, if they want something similar to wow rogue they'd end up going thief but what they actually want is way of the shadow monk.

Yes? How is this even a question? I barely know the rulesets beforehand and had no issue. It's actually exciting not knowing how classes evolve throughout the levels or what spells are there.
Tactician will need you to really, actually tactically think and position for fights. Otherwise there will be a ton of reloading. Shit, I'm playing on Balanced and I had to try like 4 different approaches for a tough fight today (finally got carried by the most obvious solution simply with Shadowheart landing a 5man fear).
I had to reload so I could push the ragedude down the spiderpit without aggroing the entire goblin's nest. It worked, but not always, and you can't pause the game to select your actions.
>he didn't go up above from the hidden wall in the courtyard >he didn't then destroy the stairs meaning the 20+ goblins couldn't do shit as they were sniped down one by one from 20m away
Skill issue.
Anyways, game gets a lot better at level 5
Frick you, goblins throw acid pots at you from anywhere. I burned down a ladder and set myself up high but that was just boxing myself in for the infinite acid rain, so I had to spread out my team instead.
Enemies have disadvantage when attacking you from below and only have los if you're at the edge, literally just move to edge, attack, then retreat and repeat

NTA but I've been playing sorceror for 9 hours, are warlocks really better? Having to long rest after every fricking spell is such a pain, mother of frick.
Fiend is the best early
Repellling Blast + Agonizing Blast at level 2
And pick Pact of Chain at level 3 for the op Impbro summon
Warlock is the only class that can instantly kill enemies into the void as early as level 2 with ease

similar thing happened with the hobgoblin fight, got hammer bashed into pit with spiders and separated from my party
It happened to me with the Hag bossfight. The room is suspended inside some giant root tree.
I literally did a double take when I saw Astarion get pushed into the bottomless pit, instantly dying. This fricking game man lmao.
All I want is the ability to create custom party members without having to go through some funky multi client bullshit.
Modders need to get on this. The rest I can deal with ingame. (by killing every gayPC)
Thanks for confirming that BG3 fans are raving cuck leftists, what a revolting group. Maybe you should try playing actual games and not LGBT story books
Good rpgs have been a rare breed.
I think people are just desperate for a good game and BG has the brand name. One of those you always heard about but never tried because it looks dates. Well, now is their chance to hop in. Word of mouth as well.

I get that it's fantasy but come the frick on
I am debating on whether I want to be a paladin or a wizard. On one hand, I want to LARP as the good guy hero paladin, but the spells that wizards have access to seem more fun. Plus, I want my character to be intelligent in game, which seems to be the lowest stat for paladins. Any advice?
You get a wizard companion so you can just play around with his spells.
Intelligence has very little impact on dialogue, the most you'll get is knowledge checks.
Also, and this is moronic, there's no group formation function yet, so if you're leading the party with your MC (like almost everyone) for dialogue, etc., he'll be in front.
When the fight starts you don't want to be a wizard in the middle of pissed off enemies.
>Ganker wants the game to fail
Meanwhile in reality >Ganker is pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the western gaming industry in regards to sexual content
Why do the shills need to lie? Your game's selling well. Shouldn't you be happy about that instead of lying about shit?
Do not notice that the "just watch porn, pedo pedo pedo, nazi incels" spam disappeared from the Skullgirls thread and all the "How come this western game can show sex but Japanese games can't" posts got drowned out with BEAR SEX BEAR SEX U MAD /misc/ IS SEETHING which was then spammed all over the board for months
Then suddenly the Skullgirls thread were filled again with "Pedo incels" and the bear threads stopped
Do not notice the clear patterns of an obvious raid
Do not notice the zero reply posts in the thread screaming /misc/, chud, incel, etc that are spammed again and again until they get replies
?t=205 >one of the companions you take with your through the adventure just fricking suicide bombs himself and your entire party then the game abruptly ends with the credits scene roll
bro what in the frick is this?
They did it specifically so I can live out my fantasy of putting its teeth on the curb and stomping the back of its head until I see only a red paste, based Larian.
The hype around this game feels so incredibly fake; manufactured entirely by "influencers" shilling to their mindless sheep followers.
You just know 90% of those people have never played a CRPG, let alone Baldur's Gate 1 or 2.
>You just know 90% of those people have never played a CRPG, let alone Baldur's Gate 1 or 2.
This doesn't matter at all. I can only buy games i'm familiar with? moronic as hell.
Most people play games of genres they know they like and are familiar with, yes. Nobody spends $70 on some boomer genre game he's never played just to try it out.
No you're just being stupid. Elden Ring the first souls game for many people. Just like these will be the first crpg for them. Not everyone stays their whole life playing with their marios and pokemons just because they grew up with it.
Elden Ring was also an influencer-driven shill campaign. Any game hyped up by some big streamer of youtuber will be a financial success, and people will buy it even if they have zero interest in the genre.
bro the counts already stopped a lot of us wont have time to be playing during the week
now we can finally just state that it was commercially successful and put all this sales obsession to bed
i hope the metacritic arc wont be as bad (it will)
>Why are so many people playing it?
Unironically the bear sex scene got a frick ton of people interested in it who bought it for no reason other having seen that scene.
Why are people comparing Elfen Ring to this? Ellen ring is an action game with barely any RPG in it. It's like comparing Call of Duty to Xcom just because they have guns.

it's fricking cozy, how are you not seeing this
summer nu-neoGanker are you okay? It's a video game, that you can play single player, pirate easily, and has a ton of content. Skip the gay shit or do the gay shit, it's really up to you.
>at some point in game, their refer to a fricking woman Duchess as "Duke" instead like you would call a Queen a "King" instead
I know this is a small thing but it annoys the fricking shit out of me. Just use the right terms for it. They want to "empower" women yet they can't bring themselves to use the positively feminine words of those titles that DO in fact show power as a woman. They think in order to show it is to call a woman by the male rank instead.
XVI shills, SEgays, and actiongays are still going to say turn based is dead. Even when Mario RPG outsells XVI, they will still say TB is dead. Nothing will change. You can't win against these schizos.
Seeing as this is likely going to be the first RPG that people play, is there a chance that future RPGs are going to be turn based rather than real time with pause?
There's nothing deep or big brainer into spending the first 30 seconds buffing yourself up and then just spamming MMO buttons to win.
That's literally braindead gameplay that you could find in shit games like Baldurs Gate 2.
I literally never heard about this game or franchise until gay bear spam. It's really alienating to me how popular it is. Like I feel like I shifted to an alternate reality.

How? it's almost Elden Ring tier, I didnt know Baldurs Gate was this popular
you are confusing curiosity with popularity. On the showcase there was a uncomfortable silence when BG3 was revealed.
what showcase?
Last year VG awards, they showcased a new trailer revealing the final release date, showing returning characters like Minsc, even on Ganker a lot of people didn't know about him.
Kek I still remember the crickets
yeah, it was a bit sad, I mean BG is a big name on WRPG, it was an odd silence, with almost zero applause. On the general chat there was people who thought it was Kratos
Beside this, I think that Larian bet that people will recognize Minsc as a meme on the trailer and that will make people scream, they showed also Jaheira, but again no one cared.
Uhh... Why did they give him Halsin's face?
I honestly thought this was supposed to be the same guy, but apparently not. They just share the exact same face type which they didn't even bother to change around.
Ganker would have a meltdown over how reddit minsc is with his space hamster companion
its a good thing noone here has played it
BG threads already have people that seethe at Minsc
Minsc was cringe back then, and he's cringe now.
But cringe was a much rarer commodity back then, so it was easier to stomach.
Now he suffers from being cringe in a cringe saturated market.
Plenty of people were actually mad about Minsc in BG2 because of how they played up that angle a lot.
In BG1 his hamster stuff was just a cute little obscure reference to Spelljammer and his primary motivation was Dynaheir.
so why is it actually so popular. are there just that many DND nerds
Where have u been? hasbro has been hard at work at getting DND into mainstream goyslop for the past 10 years.
The bear thing was on every media outlet, people is curious, include sex and it will call the attention for sure. BG3 gained a lot of traction after this.
Any Baldur's Gate fan was just exhausted by how much Minsc has been shittily introduced into everything, NWN MMO, some shitty 5e comic book. I groaned when I saw him.
He doesn't even have the right VA anymore.
For good or for bad, he become sort of popular, I mean, there is a reason of why Larian did a trailer showcasing him as a returning character. The thing is no one recognize him on chat/forums or even here on Ganker so he is not well known outside the fandom. My bet is Larian thought the character was popular enough thanks to memes and shit.
OP is fake, moron
It still has like 800,000+
600k currently, which is still a lot, so why lie about it?
Ah so it stopped at 800,000 peak then, I didn't check
Anyway OP lied to get free replies
>so why lie about it?
They are very insecure. Shlils have done nothing but lie non stop ever since BG3 was announced.
Dragon Age was pretty popular
Witcher is popular
D&D is popular
> I didnt know Baldurs Gate was this popular
It's not. Baldur's Gate uses AD&D ruleset, which is the only really good D&D ruleset for CRPGs. BG3 has nothing to do with BG1/2 except that the setting is stolen from those games.
>BG3 has nothing to do with BG1/2 except that the setting is stolen from those games.
>Be owner of IP
>pay someone to make another game in the setting
>This is theft
The seethe is off the charts. I know Ganker is contrarian central but damn.
The better question is how the frick elden ring was so popular
>Wtf why is Dark Souls open world edition popular
Why the frick one of the best games ever made is so popular, am I rite?
>oh but I don't like it!!!
Then frick you bro. You got shit taste. Deal with it.
Nah it's gay
The COD crowd decided to expand to Souls games years ago, not impressive, what's impressive is they now expanded to Baldurs Gate 3
Snoys have literally nothing else to play
>It's another Ganker NPC arms race to have the most aggressively contrived, contrarian opinion possible episode
there is nothing contrived or contrarian about being confused about elden rings popularity
it was an entirely social phenomenon, spread by word of mouth, had nothing to do with the games quality, which is nothing to write home about at all. yet another souls game, whoopee.
>there is nothing contrived or contrarian about being confused about elden rings popularity
and you don't even have the self awareness to realize you just doubled down on being a contrarian by insisting it isn't contrarian.
>It's a social phenomenon bro
>uh no the company having an extraordinary track record for the last 5 titles they released has nothing to with it
cope
Anon you are knee deep in cope if you think elden ring wasn't one of the best games of all time.
Not him but it just seemed another souls games with less soul.
Elden slop was zoomie's first open world rpg
I ask the same thing, Elden Ring is just a souls game with open world meme, I guess normies just realized dark souls exists
I have no fricking idea. It's fricking boring I dropped it halfway through.
It's like their Witcher 3 moment basically.
We all know that most people aren't even going to get halfway through act 1, but still, it's impressive to see how normalgays actaully even considered playing the game to begin with. Was the marketing really that good?
Genuinely yes. Thanks to Critical Role, DnD is now synonymous with wacky fantasy hijinks. The Bear Sex scene (ESPECIALLY the flabberghasted squirrel) was confirmation that it is just as troglodytes intended. DnD is dead, Matt Mercer killed it. It's popular now, but it's complete slop, and will forever be like that.
I remember the Witcher 3 having a scene that was on a stuffed unicorn, you just don't have a sense of humor because politics has rotted your brain.
The unicorn sex scene was not played for humor, nor was it at the forefront of everyone's mind two weeks before release.
> nor was it at the forefront of everyone's mind two weeks before release.
Sounds like a personal problem.
Yes because literally every single one of my friends began talking about it whenever I brought up BG3.
>Yes because literally every single one of my friends began talking about it whenever I brought up BG3.
Yeah uhuh totally believable
That reads like you are shilling your friends
>online friends are really friends
Is this what zoomers consider friends?
Woah, we got a socialite here with so many irl friends he has to post and mock people on a Vietnamese fly fishing message board. You are so fricking cool dood, send me your addy so I can come suck that dick.
People you meet online are not your friends anon.
It was literally just a book reference.
DnD isn't dead, just don't create a slop campaign moron
I don't think you realize just how much the pandemic revitalized table top games. They have a more complex barrier for entry because you need multiple people for a campaign, so having a single player D&D campaign that has a ton of depth that rivals the tabletop game has a large audience.
>Was the marketing really that good?
I mean, all the stuff posted here is even making me want to buy it. But I'm keeping my expectations in check. There are already lots of negative reviews for it so I'm staying away. It seems like a very 50/50 game. You'll either love it or hate it
It's high production value eurojank.
depends on whether you like the battle system, some people say it's boring, but it's basically fantasy X-COM
the only major problem with the game is they went too far with the loose gender/sexuality/romance mechanics so you can't just be bros with your party
everything else is god tier RPG
Yes, since normies see gay bear fricking and think it's hilarious unlike the schizo chuds here who believe it to be part of some grand conspiracy
It's got a little bit of jank, but if you can handle it then you're golden.
I have a theory its a incredibly mediocre game released in a sea of absolute dogshit.
>Was the marketing really that good?
I didn't notice the game until I saw a crowd of game developers preemptively doing damage control on Twitter and complaining that BG3 was going to be too good.
I didn't notice either before the funny gay bear sex stream
I swear, like two months ago BG3 threads barely got 100 replies and never reached bump limit
BG3 appeals to coomers of multiple demographics, given its DA:O origins.
DnD being popular now that's to critical role, etc. Plus old timers want forgotten realms not spelljammer shjit.
CRPG gamer autismos thought rtwp was a good system when in actuality people were crying out for a low apm comfy turn-based system they could pause, save and leave behind when someone visited irl, etc.
Ganker tends to forget that DOS was crack cocaine for catladies who lived their evenings under a throw with a coffee in their hand and a cat in their lap.
Why must you turn our board into a house of LIES?
IT'S OVER
IT'S SO OVER IT'S NEVER BEEN THIS OVER
Can we all agree this is more embarrassing for the chuds than the hogwarts shit was for the left? The chud meltdowns over this game were 10x as big and the game has smashed expectations while hogwarts was already expected to sell well anyway.
Yes anon, you owned the chuddies, they all hate the game and it's not just a vocal minority on Ganker wanting every AAA release to fail
Feel free to go back to twitter or reddit to celebrate with your leftie friends
The right was literally flooding the internet with calls to boycott it. Did you miss when this board was nothing but bear sex threads? Don't try and pretend it didn't happen now that the woke game is a massive success.
>The right was literally flooding the internet with calls to boycott it.
When? Where?
I go on some fairly rightwing rpg boards and no one anywhere I go did more than point and laugh or say that it was going to be shit.
No talks of boycott here either.
Meds
You should seriously consider them if you're this desperate for a "win" over something so inconsequential.
The closest i've seen is some on here calling it shit.
As for the shitty Hogwarts game you sperged out over?
I saw meltdowns that actually affected people during that like pic related.
You should seriously consider medication schizo, lmao.
Wasn't this debunked? It was months ago so I don't remember everything but I remember someone saying on a stream that this streamer's retirement was already planned before the hogwarts stuff.
>Wasn't this debunked?
No, troons did desperately try to paint it that way.
She was pretty open about considering stopping streaming permanently.
>don't remember
cuz you lost and don't want to remember? kek
someone on Ganker literally tried to get the game banned in germany by contacting some federal agency
I remember that thread. Pretty sure the dude was just pretending to be moronic because he straight up said he watched beastiality porn and was calling everyone Black folk, trannies, israelites, etc. and telling them to kill themselves (while living in a pansy ass homosexual country where the government literally monitors people's online activity and arrests them for internet hate speech)
>When? Where?
You've literally never been on this board until today have you?
>Flooding the internet
>this board
Not how it works
>Did you miss when this board was nothing but bear sex threads
Yeah, I remember how it was half people mad about it and half people enjoying it
More like: third of people were mad, another third were making fun of people who were mad and the last third questioning if this was a shilling campaign.
yeah man THE RIGHT got f*cking owned, xister!
I mean... yeah. Yeah... that is what just happened.
me (chud): I'm not buying the game its gay cuck shit
you (cuck): look ihow many its sold chuddie you mad
me: ok...
>hogwarts shit was for the left? The chud meltdowns over this game were 10x as big
trannies were literally disowning friends and family members for playing the game they made an entire site just to track streamers who play the game so they could harass them
Nah, is just people who was drawn for the bear porn. Before this, BG3 didn't had any kind of hype.
No.
Unlike the political-brains here I’ve actually played the game.
I wouldn’t consider it political enough to be a win for any side.
Having some janky sex scenes doesn’t make it political imo.
There are close to a million people wading waist deep through the plot right now, yet none have come forth to whine on Ganker about ideologically charged writing.
It’s a true neutral aligned game.
Hogwarts had tran- *ahem* ‘the mentally ill’ leading a witch hunt against anyone who dared play the game publicly.
Yet everyone played it anyways.
I consider that a total loss of face for them.
homie the only people I see screaming woke is your schizo twitter ass
This game could sell a trillion copies and it wouldn't make you a real woman.
I identify as a chud and I am seriously considering hanging myself over the success of a game I am not interested in
I'm just amazed at how effective advertising is on people and how easily some get swept up into hype. I've seen people who bought this on steam who have never shown any interest in rpg's before. I bet 90% of them won't play more than a couple hours, but something still got them to make that purchase.
It makes you realize how important marketing is. Especially when doing something as ridiculous as the bear sex thing
Why is the left so good at making games?
I mean good for them I guess, but the sheer popularity of the game was definitely a result of the early access sales model. Lots of people already bought the game and made videos and hyped it up even going back a year or so. I just hope this means that everyone else doesn't start doing the same thing with their games. I will never buy an early access game.
Really the ‘early access’ in Larian games is more akin to how ground zeroes was for MGS5.
A little vertical slice to play around in that game people an idea of how the main game would play.
It’s a little more reassuring when the dev is saying “we will add this thing we already have working, but just more of it”
rather than “we will totally add enough for it to be fun bro trust us.”
But yeah EA can easily be a complete cancer rest.
frick off OP
Keep calling it woke please. I want people to associate woke with high quality, successful products.
We only know how to win #winning
bros......
It's over.
Itsowa
they're harvesting votes
leftists rented internet cafes in atlanta to run 50 instances of bg3 each, artificially inflating player numbers
investigate 3/11
why are lefties so desperate calling a triple A game selling well a win on this board?
>larian
>triple A
I hope this leads to the creation of more western rpgs
Controversy is free shilling. Ganker must learn to not seethe and stop playing into the hands of these companies.
every time you tell them this they start screaming
>V is moronic
more news at 11
the first time this game takes a dip on a quiet Tuesday afternoon this whole board will be like "aha flop confirmed lmao". Then when it goes back up on Saturday night they will be like "hmm suspicious"
what I'm trying to say is. Ganker is full of gays.
it already did the OP's pic is fake
Impressive, very nice...
Let's see those achievement stats.
https://steamcommunity.com/stats/1086940/achievements
>70% didn't play long enough to get 4 rests
is this normal
Yes, most people buy games, play them a few hours, and then drop them
On steam, yes because the stats are fricked - they don't update properly.
Still doesn't change the fact that these numbers are astroturf.
They do update correctly, but anyone who launched the game at least once is counted as player. That's why most games don't have 100% on an achievement that you can get by playing for 5 minutes, someone installed the game, launched, but just didn't play it for some reason.
It's not janky MMO tier, but it's not great either.
I don't know how long it would take to do Descent From Avernus, but normally the "Take Your First Step" achievements has about 80-90% completion.
It took me like 15 hours to do that personally, charisma builds yay
I played for 5h and rested once.
>30% of players have not played for 15 minutes
Huh.
if you don't know shit about d&d, making your character is EXTREMELY daunting. they're probably sitting there watching a youtube video trying to figure out the difference between sorc, wizard, and warlock and then all the sub classes.
Not even close. The game has tooltips
So does Pathfinder
the tooltips don't really do that much to showcase the differences and it's not exactly cut and dry what classes do what for people not already interested in d&d. like for the wowgays that end up buying it, if they want something similar to wow rogue they'd end up going thief but what they actually want is way of the shadow monk.
are people who dont know the D&D ruleset seriously buying this game?
people that played and enjoyed the divinity original sin games will buy it and the d&d rule set is very different even from that.
Yes? How is this even a question? I barely know the rulesets beforehand and had no issue. It's actually exciting not knowing how classes evolve throughout the levels or what spells are there.
People bought this thinking it was another The Witcher 3/Skyrim, didn't they
(literally)
Owie Zowie right in my D20s!
>Couldn't even beat troony Genocider, or New World
Dead game.
The game already peaked days ago and will never surpass Elden Ring, so let it go.
I just spent 3 hours reloading so I could kill the 3 goblin commanders on tactician. Is the game going to get more or less frustrating?
you arent supposed to play on tactician your first playthrough moron
Tactician will need you to really, actually tactically think and position for fights. Otherwise there will be a ton of reloading. Shit, I'm playing on Balanced and I had to try like 4 different approaches for a tough fight today (finally got carried by the most obvious solution simply with Shadowheart landing a 5man fear).
I had to reload so I could push the ragedude down the spiderpit without aggroing the entire goblin's nest. It worked, but not always, and you can't pause the game to select your actions.
Shift-space or click the button to enter turn-based mode. You can "pause time" like that to set up surprise attacks or react to fleeing enemies.
>he didn't go up above from the hidden wall in the courtyard
>he didn't then destroy the stairs meaning the 20+ goblins couldn't do shit as they were sniped down one by one from 20m away
Skill issue.
Anyways, game gets a lot better at level 5
Frick you, goblins throw acid pots at you from anywhere. I burned down a ladder and set myself up high but that was just boxing myself in for the infinite acid rain, so I had to spread out my team instead.
Enemies have disadvantage when attacking you from below and only have los if you're at the edge, literally just move to edge, attack, then retreat and repeat
Warlock by far
What subclass?
do you need your spells picked, too? just try it out and respec if you dont like it
NTA but I've been playing sorceror for 9 hours, are warlocks really better? Having to long rest after every fricking spell is such a pain, mother of frick.
Start with spelling sorcerer right.
You can respec? Oh okay, then it's fine.
You can pay 200 gold and respec your whole character, from appearance to classes. Don't minmax in a first playthrough man.
Fiend is the best early
Repellling Blast + Agonizing Blast at level 2
And pick Pact of Chain at level 3 for the op Impbro summon
Warlock is the only class that can instantly kill enemies into the void as early as level 2 with ease
>Push boss off ledge
>All the loot is gone forever

>suddenly one pushes Shadowwaifu into the water
shit got serious quick
similar thing happened with the hobgoblin fight, got hammer bashed into pit with spiders and separated from my party
It happened to me with the Hag bossfight. The room is suspended inside some giant root tree.
I literally did a double take when I saw Astarion get pushed into the bottomless pit, instantly dying. This fricking game man lmao.
specifically that boss, if you push her down into the chasm, you can find her body later in the underdark
it's a neat detail
uhh chudbros...
obvious edit, there are only 8 million humans on Earth
Debunked thoever
>99,97% of players have already dropped it
What a fricking failure. I hope the devs kill themselves out of shame.
remember when someone made a website that list is you played that potter game
those were funny times
Chuds on suicide watch.
All I want is the ability to create custom party members without having to go through some funky multi client bullshit.
Modders need to get on this. The rest I can deal with ingame. (by killing every gayPC)
Anon...
you realize the respec npc already does that, right?
Pretty sure he only lets you add pre-made hirelings unless i'm missing something.
How is it on controller? I don’t have space for mouse and keyboard
put your keyboard vertically like all the others of your kind, russoid
the UI is hideous when you use controller.
8/10
The UI gets wanky when you have to click in very narrow spots, bur it's very well made otherwise.

And all of these games are extremely successful games, what's your point?
>Cyberpunk
>Extremely successful
In terms of sales, yes
Pre-orders alone were enough for the game to break even.

Good rpgs have been a rare breed.
I think people are just desperate for a good game and BG has the brand name. One of those you always heard about but never tried because it looks dates. Well, now is their chance to hop in. Word of mouth as well.
people want to see bear sex
It'll go higher next weekend.
I want the game to do well, too, but there's no way.
>create custom party through co-op

Fricks sake.
Ok so what's the modability like?
I pirated this shit. Frick multiplayer. Aint paying for anything I dont have to these days,

I am debating on whether I want to be a paladin or a wizard. On one hand, I want to LARP as the good guy hero paladin, but the spells that wizards have access to seem more fun. Plus, I want my character to be intelligent in game, which seems to be the lowest stat for paladins. Any advice?
>I am debating on whether I want to be a paladin or a wizard.
Either one would make you gay, so it's up to you.
Multiclass and be both?
>multiclass
You did not beat the game.
You get a wizard companion so you can just play around with his spells.
Intelligence has very little impact on dialogue, the most you'll get is knowledge checks.
Also, and this is moronic, there's no group formation function yet, so if you're leading the party with your MC (like almost everyone) for dialogue, etc., he'll be in front.
When the fight starts you don't want to be a wizard in the middle of pissed off enemies.
>you now remember the Ganker boycott threads
>>you now remember the Ganker boycott threads

Why are you faking numbers I dont get it? Steam and Steamcharts says 814, you rounded up by 86,000 that isn't how math works
Shazambros, we couldn't stop it. CRPGs and cringekino are back, stronger than ever.
shadowheart is the sexiest video game girl created in the last 10 years. I'll play her game on PS5 though.
Good luck, it's going to take you forever to loot all the corpses and boxes with controller.
>Ganker wants the game to fail
Meanwhile in reality
>Ganker is pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the western gaming industry in regards to sexual content
Why do the shills need to lie? Your game's selling well. Shouldn't you be happy about that instead of lying about shit?
Do not notice that the "just watch porn, pedo pedo pedo, nazi incels" spam disappeared from the Skullgirls thread and all the "How come this western game can show sex but Japanese games can't" posts got drowned out with BEAR SEX BEAR SEX U MAD /misc/ IS SEETHING which was then spammed all over the board for months
Then suddenly the Skullgirls thread were filled again with "Pedo incels" and the bear threads stopped
Do not notice the clear patterns of an obvious raid
Do not notice the zero reply posts in the thread screaming /misc/, chud, incel, etc that are spammed again and again until they get replies
>BEAR SEX BEAR SEX U MAD /misc/ IS SEETHING which was then spammed all over the board for months
the bear sex reveal was one month ago
>Anon learns what astroturfing is
Now look at the sample size for opinion polls and your mind will be blown
Every game that doesn't use Denuvo and is successful is a major win in my book. Frick you Square Enix. Rot in hell.
?t=205
>one of the companions you take with your through the adventure just fricking suicide bombs himself and your entire party then the game abruptly ends with the credits scene roll
bro what in the frick is this?
thanks for the $70 now preorder the next one which is just cut content from the first yahoooooooooooo
How will Ganker ever recover from this?
its not real bro
Just checked. It peaking at 800k is still fricking insane.
Larian bros actually won.
There's definitely some ass hurt from it being successful.
Remember, people said it would never break 100k.
>Remember, people said it would never break 100k.
you mean the devs
No moron, 100k was their goal.
recover from what?
Ganker was never against the game, every bear thread was full of people defending the game. It's why each thread got to 500
its not even real
i hate the troon/bestiality shit, but everytime a non triple A game beats the frick out of trash movie games made by sony, everyone wins
Not surprised normies enjoy the most tedious, mind numbing, anti-fun shit imaginable.
CHUDDIES STATUS?
WHY THE FRICK DID THEY PUT A troony DRAG QUEEN IN THIS GAME????
Just kill her lmao.
i can't the game won't fricking let me
Haven't gotten that far, but that's very gay if true.
I'm pretty sure any character can be killed though.
They did it specifically so I can live out my fantasy of putting its teeth on the curb and stomping the back of its head until I see only a red paste, based Larian.
Bro I never play these type of game before should I buy this game
Are you asking genuinely?
Why not? Play on easy. I don't know how easy it is but it's probably doable. You can change difficulty at anytime.
Does this have a memory leak? It starts to stutter really badly sometimes.
So far the game is great but I have some performance issues.
The hype around this game feels so incredibly fake; manufactured entirely by "influencers" shilling to their mindless sheep followers.
You just know 90% of those people have never played a CRPG, let alone Baldur's Gate 1 or 2.
>You just know 90% of those people have never played a CRPG, let alone Baldur's Gate 1 or 2.
This doesn't matter at all. I can only buy games i'm familiar with? moronic as hell.
Most people play games of genres they know they like and are familiar with, yes. Nobody spends $70 on some boomer genre game he's never played just to try it out.
No you're just being stupid. Elden Ring the first souls game for many people. Just like these will be the first crpg for them. Not everyone stays their whole life playing with their marios and pokemons just because they grew up with it.
Elden Ring was also an influencer-driven shill campaign. Any game hyped up by some big streamer of youtuber will be a financial success, and people will buy it even if they have zero interest in the genre.
Good. I'm glad devs can make money with good games now instead of having to make games morons with bad taste would buy on their own.
Holy frick, imagine not wanting the crpg genre revived.
Guess you'd like it if Armored Core flops, and mecha is never touched again.
bro the counts already stopped a lot of us wont have time to be playing during the week
now we can finally just state that it was commercially successful and put all this sales obsession to bed
i hope the metacritic arc wont be as bad (it will)
Is this the most successful CRPG? Why are so many people playing it?
>Why are so many people playing it?
Unironically the bear sex scene got a frick ton of people interested in it who bought it for no reason other having seen that scene.
ghahahahah yeah dude millions of people are playing because of the bear sex webm from Ganker that nobody in real life saw
fricking coooooooope
It was at a major summer gaming event shown to millions of people. Memes have incredible sales power.
So if I made a game featuring badger sex I could get hundreds of thousands of people to buy it?
Word of mouth and it's genuinely good. There hasn't been a good heavy dialog/multi choice rpg in years.
Isn't it too early for word of mouth?
no, word of mouth takes like 30 minutes.
No? It's been in early access for years.
Why are people comparing Elfen Ring to this? Ellen ring is an action game with barely any RPG in it. It's like comparing Call of Duty to Xcom just because they have guns.
Because Ganker is filled with moronic ghetto and trailer park trash along with third world shantytowners nowadays.
Elden ring won goty last year, is Japanese and popular so it MUST be defeated by literally anything else
>turn based
I don't know man the last turn based I play is the persona 3 and that it 10 years ago
BG1 is my favorite game and I dont care what you fricks say
STOP THE COUNT!
STOP THE COUNT!!!!
Will we get more CRPGs? Also why didn't bioware do this? None of their games had a PC launch this big.
because bioware games were barely good to begin with, and nowadays are the definition of slop, even below bethesda standards

>"take control of the nautiloid and escape the hells"
>ie. finish the 15 minute tutorial
>"0.1% of players have this achievement"
am i missing something here
nobody is actually playing the game except you. there are over 500,000 dummy steam accounts deployed who sit in the main menu to boost player numbers.
Yeah you achievements are broken, it's like 70%
>He played it
look at most single player games and you'll see something similar.
consumers buy for the sake of buying, not to play.
It's bugged. Same appeared to me but the stats are bugged.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh TODDBROS.......this doesn't look too good
i'm legit super curious to see how starfield does
getting a huge, detailed RPG mere weeks before bethesda's big project, I wonder if it'll make everyone pay more notice and see how fricking shitty and amateurish Bethesda games are
Who's the best girl? Red, elf, blue or green?
Shazam giving Jim Cramer a run for his money.
>Ganker wonders why this is popular
>game plays like a point and click adventure with dialogue options and stats
it's fricking cozy, how are you not seeing this
That's great OP. Happy for you
Still not gonna buy your furry game. You enjoy yourself tho.
Anyone have a link to the update as a GOG installer? It's still not up on gog-games.
summer nu-neoGanker are you okay? It's a video game, that you can play single player, pirate easily, and has a ton of content. Skip the gay shit or do the gay shit, it's really up to you.
>at some point in game, their refer to a fricking woman Duchess as "Duke" instead like you would call a Queen a "King" instead
I know this is a small thing but it annoys the fricking shit out of me. Just use the right terms for it. They want to "empower" women yet they can't bring themselves to use the positively feminine words of those titles that DO in fact show power as a woman. They think in order to show it is to call a woman by the male rank instead.
XVI shills, SEgays, and actiongays are still going to say turn based is dead. Even when Mario RPG outsells XVI, they will still say TB is dead. Nothing will change. You can't win against these schizos.
Seeing as this is likely going to be the first RPG that people play, is there a chance that future RPGs are going to be turn based rather than real time with pause?
Is that a bad thing? Turn based allows for more variety in the actions you can allow a player to take.
Yes in my opinion real time with pause is more fun, more interesting and capable of more depth and strategy
There's nothing deep or big brainer into spending the first 30 seconds buffing yourself up and then just spamming MMO buttons to win.
That's literally braindead gameplay that you could find in shit games like Baldurs Gate 2.
DnD has become the biggest normalgay bait on the planet in recent years because of podcasting, I have no idea how people are surprised by this shit.
>Check my discord friends status daily
>None of them are playing this.
I chose them well

What ruleset does BG3 use?
I literally never heard about this game or franchise until gay bear spam. It's really alienating to me how popular it is. Like I feel like I shifted to an alternate reality.
>This game could sell a trillion copies and it wouldn't make you a real woman.
>just learned you can change dice skins
neat
I wanna talk about the game
Which thread are we doing that in !!
After a gorillion years, devs finally realized that controversy and sex sells. Doubly so in the tiktok era we live in.
