>horrible act 3 performance issues and major quest chain breaking bugs. Patches ironed out some issues while making performance and crashes worse in most cases
>generally buggy everywhere to extent that any other developer would be crucified
>every patch introduces major new bugs, like not being to click past doors, which actually has a major impact on game experience, or the game remembering your choices completely wrong
>accidentally cut out hours of content and thousands of voicelines
>patch 4 introduced a bug where enemies literally take minutes for a single turn
>PS5 version was outright unplayable for weeks, as in the game straight up did not work
>now the xbox version is deleting dozens of hours of progress, AND THEY'RE BLAMING IT ON MICROSOFT WHEN NO OTHER GAMES HAVE THIS ISSUE
The insane thing is how often patches make the game buggier and perform worse. Is their QA process just completely broken?

don't bother criticizing dumb normie games they don't care about any of the issues you brought up
Who gives a flying frick about Xbox. The game works perfectly well on the platforms that matter, mainly PC
>Larian shill force just completely ignoring all the major issues that were listed for all platforms.
Not really. The door issue OP mentioned is in PC, unless they fixed it at some point leaving on the Larian sync makes saving a multiple minute wait, I'm still seeing plenty of enemies taking forever to move and interactions breaking characters (just today I tried to pick up the Githyanki egg and my character stopped moving until I saved and reloaded). Playing with friends the game often randomly treats viewing other players' conversations as private even if they aren't set to private, including locking me out of seeing the intro cutscene to Act 3 while my friends were watching it, so I got to look at the campsite without being able to move. That's not to mention how often cutscene camera angles are pointed at the back of characters or just at nothing, and how often animations bug out in cutscenes or end seconds earlier than the cutscene does. Also at various points there has been a bug where moving platforms will only carry the primary character and the rest don't move so they fall Wile-E-Coyote style.
The game isn't release Skyrim bad, but it has been plagued with bugs on PC since its launch.
The game is good and you can tell people actually cared about it so people are .lre forgiving. Also most of the issues are in act 3 and I would bet at least half of the normalgays haven't gotten that far yet.
>make a game that's been in alpha for 3 years
>take feedback from the most autistic nets who'll spend every hour of every day defending you for validating their frickery
>release it after 3 years while paying journalists to lie about how it's a great game
Done
It's a simple marketing technique - target the underdogs who need attention and they do the marketing for youo just like any cult really
I wonder who the next vidya pump and dump will be
On one hand, I had to undervolt my GPU to keep from crashing. Not during the beta, not during release, but 3 weeks after release because of a patch. I stopped playing after 50 hours and this still was not fixed.
On the other hand, the game is actually fun.
release is beta, anon
It was in an alpha state before release
It's still in beta
It's still focusing on the 'strong' female characters despite written like stereotypes 99% of the time
It used to be blacks then zombies/survival shit
I reckon we'll possibly be seeing the concept of 'social' relationships of characters in games in an idea to make morons feel 'close' to the character
persona it is.
Not like that, no
Persona is already a niche.
Imagine something like standard RPG where you get long monologues about how the character is feeling. Like 10-15 minuutes. That kinda shit, all 'voiced' by AI with 'emotion'.
Anon, is there ar reason your only argument had to try to goad that user into a flame war in an attempt to distract from a fact?
anyway, less than 37% on steam go t to act 3 which is very worrying since Act 3 is where the meat nad potatoes really is for a D&D game with more choices
>Ganker is still coping and seething about BG3 winning GOTY
Best RPG ever made, don't care about some bugs on XBOX, I play on PC anyway.
95% of players never got to Act 3
The trick is that Baldur's Gate 3 is the best game everyone started and nobody finished and most people that did start it aren't going to admit they tuned out as soon as they realized the combat was slow-ass turn-based tactical RPG shit.
The completion rate on Steam is comparable to any other big RPG. Cry harder you fricking homosexual.
No it isn't. It doesn't even have the same completion rates as AA or indie RPG's on steam.
Oof
Tencent marketers
Japan has been shitting on westoid games for 2 gens straight now, discord troony "journalists" had enough of getting ass blasted and pretended this game was good
BG3 is Chinese
Thats even more of a reason because china owns most western media
BG3's audience is basically the same as the WEG coomer patreon audience. As long as they get to coom they will gladly coomsoom whatever is slowly dripped out to them.
Once a year at least one game will receive widespread dicksucking that elides all criticism. BoTW, Hades, Elden Ring, now BG3. It's like winning the lottery as a game dev. Who will be 2024's big winner? Can't wait to see.
Most people dropped in act 1.
Because of all the nudity and sex.
Because it's the best game in a long time.
These issues are to be expected in cRPG development. Just look at Owlcat's newest cRPG; it's a buggy, broken mess after the first act. It's becoming standard for the initial few hours to receive the most QA and bug-fixing while the latter half of the game will take a few months to receive bugfixing passes. Most "players" moved on after the first 2-10 hours in most cases anyway so no rush.
Not even gonna mention Starfield. That cRPG needs an entire fricking game patched in to it. It's an empty hole right now it.
I actually have no idea.
>Normiebook post for latest hot patch
>Hot patch is filled with fixes for errors introduced by patch 4
>Comments: OMG, BEST DEVS EVER.
They had a whole month where the PS5 version was unplayable after act 2. Zero blow-back.
It's easier to forgive shit when you're having a good time. That's why Skyrim didn't mind-break everyone despite being fricked for some on launch, cause it when it work you were having fun.
They made a dating sim. You may not like it, but dating sims are automatic GOTYs. Just like Persona 5
People let you get away with a lot when:
1. Your game is pretty good
2. You're polite about frickups and take responsibility with a road to fix it.
Game sucks though people let you get away with stuff if you show boobs
worked on my machine
weird how that shill never tried to reply after I posted less than 40% reached act 3 according to steam achievements...
>free pass
Larian is my probably my favourite studio and I haven't bought the game yet. They pulled this same shit with OS1 and then again with OS2. I'm not getting it until it's finished. I'm not eating my fill while it's broken and incomplete again.
Don't bother trying to spoil it, I'm not sticking around to see it.
>playing a PC game on xbox
Works on my machine. Sorry, got to get back to eating my frogfu's hairy pussy. Better luck next time, microcuck.
>Xbox
I'm sure the 5 people playing it are pissed their save right before they get fricked in the ass by a bear was deleted
The cancer playing on xbox deserves it anyway.
>it's broken on xbox so that's ok because like I don't like xbox
shills be wildin
