    >Mario and Luigi Brotherhood: go to the polls
    >NES championship featuring commentary from black speedrunners
    >One Piece Rip-Off the Videogame
    >More JRPG slop!!!
    >Sports switch 2 twerking update!
    >Silk Song ripoff because real Silksong is never happening
    >Disney woke troony mouse plataformer DLC
    >Hello Kitty farming sim cause we need another one RIGHT?!?!
    >Looney Tunes multiversus skibbidy basketball videogame
    >"LMAO THAT homosexual SAID SUS UNIRONICALLY!!!"
    >Shitty palworld farming sim rip-off
    >DK country but Dixie is a troony
    >Batch of Dragon Quest demakes to bank of Toriyama's Dead
    >"OH MY SCIENCE IS THAT FUNKO!!!!"
    >LUIGI'S MANSION 2 (yes again)
    >The rolling moron mmo
    >Metal bawd TD without succubus, females and Dio is now a troony
    >Darkest dungeon (the bad one (2) )
    >Gameboy Advance and N64 games, $50 each.
    >Perfect Dark 64 (the censored one)
    >Tranime
    >Kick Scammers simulator: Fight stick edition
    >super Mario Party DLC this late into the switch lifespan
    >Legend Of Zelda: Gone Woke, now it's up to the all powerful and asexual Princess Zeldass to save the useless Twink LINK!!!!! Sheik is confirmed trans
    >Just Dance: The globohomosexual injection continues: your kids are next!
    >Lego Nikocado Adventures (not an exclusive)
    >The game about a cat and trans robots: 5 years later
    >The Hobbit: BLM simulator
    >Miles Edgeworth: journey into the noose
    >NOT Danganronpa: school shooters are all white
    >Genshit but Elden Ring But Xenoblade
    >Metroid Prime 4: 10 years and still same shit
    I'm amazed they didn't mention how Samus is now trans but i did saw the trans flag decal on the morph ball.
    TL;DR: Nintendo Is no longer a videogame company, they have gone woke, for good this time.

        the internet made people WANT to be schizophrenic. doctors helped. legalizing weed helped. covid helped. go to /wsg/ and see their schizo threads. the echochamber of the internet has mislead them about the nature of schizophrenia. tv and movies aggrandizing the disorder hasn't helped. wanting to escape the world has always been a thing, now you can find others who want to escape the world and not wanting to be in the world can become your world and you will live forever.

      are you sincerely suggesting that clickbait that went viral over half a year after the release of the game was part of a coordinated campaign?

    I've played a lot of crpgs and tactics games but bg3 combat filtered me
    I don't see how so many normies are palying and beating it unless they're just on easy mode with mods

      Literally just because of the nudity and sex.
      It's like how 50 Shades of Grey was the big thing for a while when it was just a smut book.

      If you were playing on normal, you might just have brain damage. If you were playing on hard, swallow your pride because you are clearly shit at games.

      Larian can make difficult games apparently (I've heard DOS2 tactical mode is insane but maybe that was a meme), and bg3 can be hard early game but idk how the frick you're getting filtered

      ...how
      the game throws so much shit at you in form of gear and consumables you can brute force encounters by just chugging a healpot every turn if you really struggle, +you absolutely can long rest after each fight, theres so much food in the game

      I started playing crpgs 3 years ago after seeing ssseth vid about arcanum, from there went arcanum(obv)->(bundled in -75% sale)bg1->bg2->iwd1->planetscape->bg3 early access so I'm not a completely new player to the system but learning something like the dnd system bg1 uses with AC etc is a lot harder than bg3

    Bear sex. Unironically. The popularity of games is all about marketing, not about the quality of the game itself.

    Forgotten realms Faerunslop setting to rake in the dnd fans. No other campaign setting would work.

      Larian are pretty good slop marketers. They put in broken multiplayer and then market the games as multiplayer but don't talk about all the limitations. They make fromsoft proud

    BG3 is a good game and people are starved for actual good games. Elden Ring DLC is gonna sell like fricking crazy because it will most likely be good and theres literally nothing else to play. It's either Elden Ring DLC, soulless woke triple aaa dei goyslop, or wade through pages and pages of "overwhelmingly positive" 2d indie titles on steam.

    it was pretty mid. I didnt enjoy the combat or the dialogue or the world building and dont even get me started on the companions. DOS2 had some of the most memorable encounters of any rpg i have ever played and there was usually no way to skip the content. its the opposite in this game. combat takes fricking years and you skip all the memorable sections because its easier to skip/cheese. luckily bg3 released at a time where the game industry was releasing nothing but absolute fricking GARBAGE and broken games (this game was really buggy on release too).

    I think the biggest problems with this game specifically is how much it encourages savescumming and how obnoxious the rest system is. They have to make a lot of climactic encounters total bullshit where it throws out all your prep or spawns 50 adds or cc every character or whatever else because encounters have to party wipe you in one shot. you cant go through a grueling gauntlet of small battles because long rest and short rests are so free. You always have peak resources. Lots of things are gatekept by dice rolls (including dialogue which is moronic) so you either maximize your advantage and trivialize every dice roll or you savescum so that you never miss any content, completely defeating the point of dice rolls and chance in the first place. the game also takes forever to do anything, but thats just a larian problem in general and modern vidya isnt much better about that.

    The fact that this is held up as the gold standard of RPG gameplay and not a game like fire emblem fates conquest is just proof of how fricked normies tastes are. they dont think any deeper about game design than how the game made them feel in the moment so they chase spectacle and online discussion instead of engaging well made gameplay.

    The magic system was fun though
