How do elitist virgin boomers feel about this game being considered the best CRPG?
1/10 bait, please see me after class.
>best CRPG
Already claimed by Pillars of Eternity, however BG3 can share the spotlight as it almost manages to attract the same level of grognard seething.
7/10 bait, not bad
History rhymes.We've lived through Ultima 8/9, Two Worlds, Oblivion, ME3 and Cyberpunk - we'll live through this too.
What does this even mean.
What of those games were even considered good on release barring maybe Oblivion?
I dont mind it, the game is a masterpiece of RPG and its a game that fires on all cylinders.
I dont know if its the best, but its definitely one of the best CRPGs.
I don't know but I just beat it and the ending was just kinda underwhelming, you don't get a proper goodbye, the boys just go to a pier and say "whelp guess that's its" and frick off to do their own thing. It just doesn't feel very satisfying for the narrator to just say "wowzers, you beat the big baddies wow woah wowzers", then followed by a lukewarm goodbye and credits roll
Reminder that before all the pre-launch cutting, Larian was bragging about having more than 17,000 combinations of endings you could get, and it was cut down to what 3?
I made an appointment with my endocrinologist to begin my hormone replacement therapy.
I haven't felt anything in years
Being considered by whom? The majority of people hans't played any other crpg
>any other crpg
Why would they when they've played the only good one, BG3.
Keep coping pretending like anyone gives a frick about Planescape Torment or whatever dogshit you pretend to still play
How would they know its the only good one then
even Owlcatslop is better than BG3
Not RPG, not even a good """""" game""""""".
>Not rpg
Elaborate
she means she doesn't like it
As an elitist virgin boomer this game gave me the extra push I needed to come out of the closet. Boy I sure do love RPGs and wieners and semen. Unironically.
Frick off, Tim Cain.
Are there anti-degeneracy mods yet?
Yes
https://basedmods.eth.link/
There is mod that removes gayness, mod that turns most generic npcs into whites, mod that turns Wyll white etc
>mod that turns Wyll white
does it turn his father white too?
I dont know, i only tested Better Aesthetics (makes generic NPCs more white) and No Alphabet (removes homosexual stuff)
Game is pure homosexualry
when it's finished I'll let you know.
they literally phoned in part 3 just to make deadline release
RPGs have a long and storied history of phoning in the latter half of the game.
This is true and a good point. However, for games like bg3 (and cyberpunk), when the developer is sitting on a giant pile of money (Larian had three million sales + WotC money, and three years of public beta testing, CDPR was sitting on Witcher 3 money + GOG income) and they’re self-publishing so they ultimately determine when the game is coming out, I can only blame developer incompetence for the final product being mediocre. In a way, when developers had a shoestring budget and were often rushing a game out the door or they’d go out of business, or a greedy publisher demanded cuts, that provided cover for developer incompetence because at least they had an external excuse to blame. No such thing here.
Cyberpunk fell victim to horrible scope creep and unrealistic expectations set by the management. The "faked" E3 demo shows how out of hand the developement (management) got, not to mention the shitshow of a release it was (especially on console, after the initial patches it worked ok on my pc). Now three years and an expansion pack later I consider cp2077 a 8.5/10 game.
It's not really an (c)rpg however, but that's another discussion.
I'm curious what they might do with the next cyberpunk game ("orion"). At least I hope they will shut up and not build unredeemable hype like last time and fix it decently before release.
I’d be really curious to see what portion of the devs from Witcher 3 stayed on to work on cyberpunk, or if it really was a different team. Feels like it. I think CDPR lost the magic. We’ll see I guess.
I dunno, apart from a few of quests (like, really just a handful) I did enjoy 2077 for what it was:
An openworld action adventure with minor rpg elements.
The athmosphere and the map design/architechture of night city is a real milestone in gaming even if saying it out loud sounds memey. The aesthethics overall are pretty great if you dig the cyberpunk vibe at all. The gameplay is bretty good if you like fps-gameplay. It's like a far cry game with better gameplay and more bespoke content (along with the filler like the ncpd-scanner stuff that would be the main content in an ubisoft game).
For anyone expecting some deep rpg:ing with deep rpg mechanics it will be a dissapointment, invariably, but for an action adventure it's actually very, very good.
Yeah, it wasn’t terrible. Just underwhelming. I played it on release on PC and I’d probably give it a 7/10. They did admit they shifted the focus from RPG to action adventure somewhere along the way.
I don't think it's phoned in but it's really fricking buggy.
Cazadors mansion has been stuffed atop a wall in a random guard tower
Ducal palace was cut, Gortashs coronation takes places in a barracks
It’s pretty lol
Phoned in implies they didn't care. Act 3 doesn't feel like they didn't care, it felt like they were crunched at the last minute in terms of time (which is what happened, we know this) and just tried to shove as much of what was on the drawing board into act 3 as they could before release. Will Act 3 get better with later patches? Maybe, I'm not going to definitively say yes, but there's at least a chance some of the cut content will be added in over time.

Fair, you have a point here.
>Will Act 3 get better with later patches? Maybe, I'm not going to definitively say yes, but there's at least a chance some of the cut content will be added in over time.
Honestly, I was hoping for this, and giving the game another chance in a year or two, but it seems like they've chosen the gaslighting approach of "um sweety we didn't cut anything, we included everything we intended to, don't be a conspiracy theorist" and they're not planning on redoing or updating anything. Made me lose all remaining respect for Larian. I would've been a lot more forgiving if they were honest and said, "yea, we fricked up, due to our mismanagement we ran out of money and time, we're sorry and we're gonna fix shit as best we can"
>but it seems like they've chosen the gaslighting approach of "um sweety we didn't cut anything, we included everything we intended to, don't be a conspiracy theorist"
No they didn't, we have posts from them saying that the Upper City is blatantly unfinished
> We’ve started expanding the epilogues and you’ll see the first results of that in Patch 2 with the addition of a new optional ending with Karlach. It’s fiery, poignant, and gives her the ending she deserves.
>The third is about the things we actually didn’t plan for, and those we once considered but ultimately didn’t do.
>It was always our intention for the Upper City to be an epic, cinematic epilogue bringing the story of Baldur’s Gate 3 to a close. But we didn’t talk about that in advance because it would have been a major spoiler.
>We feel confident that there’s enough content in Baldur’s Gate 3, and the city itself, clocking in weeks-long playthroughs at a time. But that’s not to say Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t see cuts just as every game. It’s just important to know that what ultimately shipped was planned long ago, in function primarily of making Baldur’s Gate 3 fun to play, not for us to close development quickly.
Which is a fancy way of saying "yeah Act 3 wasn't done on time"
I disagree with your interpretation.

>Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s take a moment to focus on a conversation some of you have been having in the background. Many of the points that come out of this conversation are being funneled into the umbrella term of ‘cut content’, so we thought it would be helpful to give you some clarity about that as we think about the future of Baldur’s Gate 3.

>Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game with many release dates, and despite us moving its launch up by around a month, it’s still a couple years late. It was late because we grew teams, ambition, and ideas in function of it being the best game it could possibly be. Thankfully, not every idea makes it into the final launch. It wouldn’t be the game you enjoy if they did.
Translation: Umm we didn't cut the upper city because we ran out of time and money, we shipped exactly what we intended to ship, if something wasn't there it's because we just decided it wasn't a good idea, and we cut it long, long ago, we totally didn't cut it at the last minute to get it out the door, promise.
I've survived decades of Bethesda's or Bioware's garbage being called the best RPGs, this is just offbrand Bioware garbage but turn based.
The masses are irrelevant, they hold no sway over me.
I mean, bg3 is unironically as rpg as an rpg can possibly get. You might be the problem if you can't accept that.
BG3 is certainly an RPG, it’s just bad, that’s all.
No it is not, you stupid prostituteson.
Let’s hear you define what an RPG is, and then articulate why BG3 isn’t an RPG. I don’t even like the game, but you’re just being silly at this point.
I refuse. You are a Black personhomosexual.
>bg3 is unironically as rpg as an rpg can possibly get.
So is something like Neverwinter Nights 2, doesn't mean it's not gutter trash for lobotomites.
>So is something like Neverwinter Nights 2
No it's not. I would describe NWN2 (and all aurora engine trash for that matter) as a single player mmo with dnd mechanics half-assedly slapped in, but that would be inaccurate as DNDO is somehow more interesting and faithful.
There's no functional differences between NWN2 and BG3 outside of the latter being turn based, they're both the exact same garbage.
Can I pick up an enemy and throw them off a cliff in nwn2?
Can you play as a Genasi in BG3?
Fortunately no.
You answered your own question then.
I accept your concession.
>Gimmick gud if Larian
>Gimmick bad if anyone else
The mind of the Lariandrone is so simple, somehow even Obsidiots end up being more refined
Grappling and verticality is not a gimmick, it's a core dnd mechanic.
>Muh grappling and le verticality is le core mechanic thoughever (nevermind all the various core shit they didn't adapt or deliberately changed, such as spellcasting in general)
>Playable races? Settlements? Actual item crafting? Sorry sweety none of that stuff counts 🙂
It's really like I'm back in 1998.
>races
>Anon is so moronic he thinks dnd is a setting
Concession doubly accepted, you should feel embarrassed.
I know you're a clueless underage Lariandrone but both NWN2 and BG3 are set in the forgotten realms, the only difference is that one is 3.5E and the other is 5E, NWN2 also features Giths and Illithids if that weren't enough.
Whether your game has grappling or not it doesn't change the fact that it's still the same shitty, super scripted linear romp as NWN2, that also coincidentially falls apart the more you play because both are laughably unfinished, BG3 just has more gay sex.
>Playable races is "lore shit"
The absolute state of this board, can't wait until Larian's not hip anymore and it gets dogpiled like current Bioware.
Look at this fake boomer pissing and shidding himself because he got exposed.
The only thing that's been exposed here is Lariandrones' hypocrisy.
But that's no news anyway, it was already more than apparent when D:OS2 came out
>Le /misc/ thoughever!
Nice kneejerk reaction considering I didn't list gay sex as either a positive or negative, I simply stated an objective fact, keep up the good work LDF, as always you're pathetically easy to expose.
>>I need more planetouched snowflake Mary Sues in my dnd campaign
Considering how BG3 in its entirety is one of the worst examples of that, sure.
That wasn't the point however, and you know it, or you're actually that stupid to miss it.
>you're wrong
>mask immediately comes off and /misc/tard screeching begins
Lore shit doesn't matter, you cancerous tard. Pic related is dnd.
>5e
>crafting
huh
>I need more planetouched snowflake Mary Sues in my dnd campaign
Is this moron for real? I bet you complained about gays and minorities in bg3 as well.
>Is this moron for real? I bet you complained about gays and minorities in bg3 as well
Yes.
They've been put into an eternal mald cycle.
Don't worry Anon, your day will come. Don't focus on women so much. Do your own thing and it will happen.

The first post was a warning. Le sigh
On the cursed lands and I dont think I can finish it.
I think I just picked a boring character to play. Paladin/Warlock is pretty weak.
Maybe I can play as Dark Urge and do whatever I want. Maybe use cheats to give me max level too
people try to say bg3 is good yet all of my friends who have the game have gotten bored mid playthrough. yeah a game that fails to engage the majority of people who play til the very end is good what a great cope.
You don't have friends.
Nta but the game absolutely goes to shit mid act 2, and most people quit there or early act 3
>Paladin/Warlock is pretty weak.
Just respec bro.
>tfw there is no repsec in tabletop and your autism stops you from doing it in video games
I have 250 hours in the game on 6 different playthroughs all going simultaneously and I still think this game is just OK as a crpg. ama.
now vrpg can see how tg feels about dnd 5e.
Game straight-up sucks, 0/10 thread wouldn't bump
