I absolutely despise BG3 and larian
Putting aside woke shit and terrible writing it's just a bad game
Last year we got Jagged Alliance 3, Xenonauts 2 and Rogue Trader and in comparison to them BG3 is just boring, basic and just not fun

Good blog post.
Bland yes, but I am just happy it cucked Todd and Starfield for GOTY.
lol
Starfield had no chance of winning even without BG3
I don't give a shit about any of these "trends"
Game sucks
You'd have to be pretty sick in the head to be like "well it's a bad game but it doesn't have battle pass so it's fine"
It's pretty easy because most of the time halsin just breaks and doesn't want to do anything
It's a bug, so maybe it's fixed by now
I mean I legitimately love BG3 and I okay at the hardest difficulty and it’s a damn good time. The fact it’s one of the few new games in my library without a fricking always online or battle pass requirement is just kind of nice. When the internet goes down your solo campaign shouldn’t.
like I said anon there's a very low bar ATM so what can you do, it's this or some f2p mobile shit
>it's this or some f2p mobile shit
It's either bait or you're fricking moron
There's plenty of actually good games without all this shit
>JA
>shit or mediocre at best
God abandoned us...
games such as...
Jagged Alliance
I don't really like bg3 in comparison to 1 and 2, but I appreciate that it was noticed for a few reasons it's not just a walking cutscene game like TLOU or filled with battle passes, so maybe it'll help shift industry trends back to companies making actual games considering this slop can win so many awards, just look at how low the bar is
How easy is it to avoid the cuckoldry stuff in the game? I assume it’s possible
Very, VERY hard. If you get into a romance with Shart, she will try to cuck you.
just kill halsin lol
he's worthless anyway, even if you save him he just gets captured again
or you know, you could just not take shart to a prostitute house.
Just don’t be a spineless pussy.
I understand this is difficult for cuck homosexuals, so this is likely where the confusion comes from.
So just don’t play the game then?
Shart is the only romance where the cuck narrative comes from.
And there’s no way to romance her without that stuff being brought up?
plenty of ways
Yes, of course, you're falling bait mate
Why are you lying? We've been over this time and time again, Shart is ALWAYS looking to hook up with Halsin, and ALWAYS into polyshit. This is part of her character. You not finding out about it in character in your playthrough doesn't change this fact (though the former is basically impossible to miss unless you space bar through all convos).
I'm no shartcuck apologist but here's all the cuck narrative origin I can think of:
>said that Shar's follower is forbidden from relationship but her followers "finds a way"
>brothel, make sure you have Halsin and her, go to the drow twins, ask for a 4some (you need to have sex with her at least once because she wants her first time with you to be "special"), Halsin ask to join, if you refuse him shart disapproves
>meet her troony mtf childhood friend in act 3, said that the 2 of them used to be close and kinda implied that he used to be her lover
>manlet sharran angry at her and said that he can't believe he kissed her, this is kinda tricky because it means you need the sharrans to be alive while also make them angry (you just kill everyone if she becomes good)
With Shart, zero chance. The rest don't have cuckshit.
God damn, you people are such weenies.
How do you even browse this website?
Ironic
>nooooo! you must accept homosexualry to be a man! muaaah!
why are you homosexuals like this?
homosexuals have been using outright lies and femoid tier non-arguments to defend their behavior since the 80s.
I'd say as long as they existed. denying reality and being disingenuous lying israelites is what makes a homosexual a homosexual.
its impossible really.since the devs who worked in this game are themselves massive cuck homosexuals as shown here.
Haven't played JA3 yet and Xenonauts 2 is >early access, but BG3 is a much better game than RT in every aspect other than the writing. And even then RT has some awful plot development and character writing.
>but BG3 is a much better game than RT
No
RT is very buggy but it's head above BG3 in everything except production value
>terrible writing
I see this thrown around all the time but nobody ever gives examples of better written characters in any voiced and animated game. For example, Astarion is a genuinely greatly written character with tons of interesting dialogues and reactions. Under all the superficial sarcasm he's ultimately an escaped prisoner deathly scared of being brought back to heel.
He's the most generic "I can fix him" character you can get, he's Sebille but genderswapped.
Also, in true Larian fashion, EVERY companion you get is a fricking butthole, something that fans told them to frick off with in D:OS 2 as well.
Karlach isn't.
Agreed. Neither is halsin or jaheira or Wyll. Haven’t played with them all yet but it’s about a 50/50 butthole versus hero split. Maybe 60/40.
>Neither is halsin or jaheira or Wyll
But you either get them very late into the game, or they are so bland, you don't want to hang out with them, or both.
Your essential pick for companions are: 5 Morrigans, Oghren and Jacob Taylor. I am blown away.
Look, Swen, I don't want to make a fuss, but if you are ineptly copying Bioware, I would expect you to add some Garrus, Mordin or Leliana into the mix.
But I guess Larian doesn't like "nice" characters, instead of going full-in into shitheads.
shart is nice after a few hours, and even nicer after her conversion
laezel gets the most char depth of all of them turning into a heartfelt rel
the only true buttholes are gale and astarion
>shart is nice after a few hours
Yeah, after a few hours. At this point I really don't care about her. It's the first impression that counts and in BG3's case all the companions fall flat on the face, by being either needlessly hostile or just openly trying to frick you over. I have no need to hang out with shitheads that hate me, but I guess it's nice to know that some may like me slightly more after a few hours.
Also, that was also my problem with characters like Morrigan, Miranda or Camellia. If you are needlessly hostile to me from the get-go, why should I give you a chance.
Viconia DOES get a pass because she actively tries not to be hostile towards you, even if it's the PC specifically.
you just sound like a pussy tbh lad, character development cannot happen if theres nothing to develop, people have no reason to suck your dick and trust you seconds after meeting you
I wouldn’t even call gale an butthole. He’s bro tier. My issue was playing on the launch build and every moment with him having him aggressively flirting. Wish they’d included a lot more fleshed out dialogues for the companions you were clearly just trying to be friends with.
>Wish they’d included a lot more fleshed out dialogues for the companions you were clearly just trying to be friends with.
But that's how Larian rolls. They can't be bothered to implement any complex relationship system. It was even more noticable in D:OS 2 where all I wanted was to be a bro with a dwarf and then I realized to my horror is that he wants to frick me, because Larian programmers are too lazy to make different relationship routes.
She's a meme. She's Larian's idea of a "funny character" like Lohse was in D:OS2.
>hey, wouldn't it be funny if this big, burly violent demonic barbarian had a personality of a giggling schoolgirl? no, it doesn't make sense, but it's FUNNY!
Larian is incapable of writing actual, relatable character, they just go for "quirky" memesters. They all remind me of those new Saint's Row characters, that Violition tried so hard to be "funny and quirky".
Also, how many times Larian is going to repeat the same "evil bomb in my chest" plot line?
giggling schoolgirls are some of the meanest aggressive people on the planet though, so that tracks
Lohse was immensely better than Karlach in pretty much everything, including voice acting. In fact all of the DivOS2 characters were better than BG3 ones.
The companions is D:OS 2 were trash as well, and you can see where Larian's "everybody's a total shithead" fetish started. But at least they kept silent for the most part. BG3 buttholes won't shut the frick up.
They were entirely fine. I fricking detest moronic meme of characters needing to be likeable in some entirely arbitrary way for some god forsaken reason. Being c**ts isn't the reason why BG3 characters suck, they suck because they are awfully written snowflakes that also were dragged through several story retcons throughout development.
Well, if there is one thing that's worse than an butthole, it's an butthole special snowflake.
But even then Gale stands out.
>that also were dragged through several story retcons throughout development.
so was every character in the history of every single written story ever, what even is this point.
>hey, wouldn't it be funny if this big, burly violent demonic barbarian had a personality of a giggling schoolgirl? no, it doesn't make sense, but it's FUNNY!
Sure, it'd be funny, but what does that have to do with Karlach? Because I don't know who you were describing, but it wasn't her.
She's quite literally always amped up because of her infernal engine not to mention half her personality is also cope over being a demon's murder slave for 10 years in hell, exemplified by the way she goes PTSD nutcase and starts destroying any time she gets overwhelmed. Hell, if you try to break up with her after a lay she gets extremely insecure and angry. You can dislike elements of the game but don't be a reductive twat. And don't start moving goalposts
Look, unless they’re dry, Tolkien-esque characters driven purely by their lineage, they’re cringe and reddit. It’s very simple.
>I can fix him
That's not bad writing per se, and his redemption arc involves you the player letting him do his own choices and get a sense of agency, instead of actively fixing him.
>God I wish I was the one doing it
That's not bad writing, it's a genuine reaction to the injustice of spending 200 years away from the sun and freedom. He wants to be as free as the man who enslaved him. It ties in nicely with his backstory of being an ambitious but disliked city bureaucrat living in privilege and suddenly being stripped of his status to become a slave.
>That's not bad writing per se
That's Harlequin writing 101.
If you're just uneducated and not an actual moron, you would know that these redemption arcs in western society have been common for over 18 centuries and come from the stories of apostles, martyrs and biblical stories of characters straying from the righteous path and being redempted through a charismatic jesus and such figures.
Batman didn't invent vengeance and strife ffs
Hes a nut job who got tortured and abused and instead of thinking "Man torture and abuse might be pretty bad" he though "God I wish I was the one doing it""
I don't like it which means it's terrible
It suffers from this moronic larian writing when there's a lot of jokes that absolutely don't fit the game and you just can't take it seriously
By the way, I mentioned JA3 and it has over 40 mercenaries and every one of them has a lot more to say than companions from BG3 and it's all voiced as well
And it also has a better relationship system and each of them has something they like and don't like (including other characters)
And it changes over the course of the game.....
Sounds like your problem because I don't have a single game installed that requires internet to play
You're never going to convince anyone you have good tastes in writing and tonality by posting pics of dedee bombastic moronation.
>they turned my boy Fidel into a reddit quirk chungus
>remember his kino schizo brainfart about becoming a big black bird of death in the afterlife
i never played Mass Effect but i imagine this is the rage anons feel about the ending of ME3 being the words "..downloadable content!"
I'm going to replay JA2 again just out of spite even if it takes me another 15 years to finish it a second time
Astarion is an obnoxious fricking moron. Completely unlikable, no redeeming qualities.
homosexual game made by homosexuals and financed by china
Finally someone dares to speak truth. Unless you are a woman or homosexual you are not intradested into social drama. I deleted that boring and unnecessary complicated RNG feast after one hour into the game. I can't imagine paying money for this woke trash.
anon, you're on Ganker. a game about dating crippled girls was the most talked about game on here for like a year or so way back when
You just said "i was bad so game bad" typical moron kid
only bad thing this game has in my opinion that angers me is a fact that most of your companions have cheap/shitty personality. Its like someone who has 10 years old try to write a character
That or being written by gay Kotaku writers.
...wait, they were.
What is the appeal of BG3 brahs?
Looked in to it but it just seems like moronic wokeisms packaged in to a D&D sandbox. Which sounds kind of fun actually but not for $60.
Memes, and exploding barrels, I guess?
People say that the game is the most non-linear game ever made, but those people never played real cRPGs like Arcanum, so they have no point of reference.
Based. Arcanum is great, I need to play that again.
shitty dating simulator and quippy homosexualry meme bait
just like witcher
>last year gave us *checks game list I haven't played just to make a point*
good one OP
>Alliance 3, Xenonauts 2 and Rogue Trader
Never even heard of the first 2, only heard of the 3rd on Ganker. You lost.
You've never heard of Jagged Alliance?
What are you, a zoomer? JA 3 is a great return to form for the series.
>Never heard about good games
>Keeps eating popular shit and thinks he's a winner
It's not about playing good games, it's about sending a message.
>it's about sending a message.
Jeremy Crawford thanks you for you volountary service.
I don't give a crap who he puts his dick in, I care that his design choices have made 5e stale as frick.
I'm still mad Mike Mearls was pushed aside way back when, he was way more open to wild swings for weird stuff and modular design.
Mearls had the balls to stand up to Crawford, so he ended up kicked upstairs and later fired. Never dare to question the Gay Man.
Same thing happened to Perkins, who had the gall to misgender one of the trans NPCs that Crawford sneaked into the module, because Crawford keeps doing that.
Remember the time when Salvatore was pissed that Crawford retconned Jarlaxle into being gay without informing him?
If they were good, I'd have heard about them. They're shit or mediocre at best

Seethe thread #772729
Waiting for next seethe generator games

These games have caused several thousand suicides in the sub human community
Any predictions on 2024’s Ganker buck breaking release? I don’t know of any I suspect to replicate this amount of seethe. They might get a year of reprieve.
Elden ring DLC will bring us a new wave of schizophrenia.
That’s a lot of buzz words to say you’re seething

damn shazamgays, just accept your defeat and let this one go
These threads are made by BG3 shills to keep it in the spotlight, okayy?? Wake the frick up
Rogue Trader is even more broken and shitty than BG3
>broken
Yes
>shitty
No
the game goes to COMPLETE shit after Act 2, nothing in BG3 is even close to as bad as Comorragh, and nothing is as brokenly overpowered as Argenta Arch-Militant after that point
>the game goes to COMPLETE shit after Act 2
>nothing in BG3 is even close to as bad as Comorragh
You're exaggerating
It's just another "frick you" segment from owclat
Nothing out of the ordinary, classic slavjunk design
BG3 doesn't have anything that bad because it has no balls and game is pretty boring
I like the game but it feels exactly like another Dragon Age. Not a problem for me being that I liked Origins and Inquisition but I'm surprised by the universal praise including on Ganker
I liked inquisition better than bg3, solas alone dunks on the entire cast of it.
Solas was my first bro in Inquisition because I was making an all mage party and that twist got me good. Made for a really satisfying playthrough. I understand why a lot of people didn't like the MMO-y gameplay but I thought the game did a lot right after how mid 2 was. Good characters being one of them.
>but I'm surprised by the universal praise including on Ganker
Yeah, especially since in includes everything Ganker supposedly hates, corporate meddling, gay propaganda, cuckoldry reddit and cringe humour and black people everywhere. Good games got shat on for much less here.
Apparently, Swen's dick tastes that good.
Ok
>Rogue Trader
kek imagine playing owlcuck shit on release year.
I was with you until you pretended Rogue Trader wasn't a steaming pile of shit.
And why aren't you b***hing about another game that fails as BG3 does? That's right, because you're an attention whoring little Black person
The reason BG3 is so popular with normalgays is because a lot of focus is on dialogue options and the companions. It's like an updated Bioware title, a modern version of Mass Effect or Dragon Age. The writing is fine but it's the presentation that made it catch on like wildfire.
The combat's fine and the amount of world interactivity is really neat, and the game is good for sure, but you gotta keep in mind that normalgays don't play that many games.
The writing is shit (especially the dialogue), the RPG mechanics are 5E and thus quite shallow, and for all the praise of the visuals, the animations are amateurish. Overall it's a poor game that suceeded through random chance and collective hysteria, sort of like that Barbie movie.
Nah the barbie movie was great, people need to stop licking nolans taint tho
The writing is fine. Have you ever played a video game before? The bar isn't high. BG3 does enough to keep the player interested and actually has some great sequences, like the Auntie Ethel section for example.
I pirate a lot of slop for fun and just off the top of my head, here's a bunch of games with worse narratives and dialogue that come out in 2023:
>SF6
>Jedi Survivor
>Hogwarts Legacy
>Viewfinder
>Starfield
BG3 has quite good writing for a big release in current year. I'd say it's on par with the first Dragon Age.
The animations are similar to Bioware games in that they pick from a library to suit the scene but many animations are hand-animated specifically for a scene, even mundane dialogue scenes. The game's fricking huge, they obviously couldn't have TLOU2-tier animations throughout. It's fine.
Once again, what you have to understand is that normalgays don't play games. BG3 succeeded because it's got everything normalgays like, such as cinematic presentation, dialogue wheels, easy combat, multiplayer, zany quips, creating your own character, sex jokes, etc.
>random chance and collective hysteria
This is just word of mouth. BG3 had great word of mouth instead of being a frontloaded release where 90% of all copies are preorders or sold in the first two weeks.
>I'd say it's on par with the first Dragon Age.
No, it isn't. It's not even on par with Jedi Survivor. At least that game could keep a halfway consistent tone. BG3's plot is hackneyed and lazy, its humor is flat, and the characters are just fricking awful, totally unlikeable.
>BG3 has quite good writing for a big release in current year.
As someone who knows Forgotten Realms lore, the writing makes me want to kill myself. Larian understands FR lore about as well as Bethesda understands the lore of Fallout.
The entire plot is just a collection of random "popular" lore tidbits flimsily connected together. The cult of the Dead Three kidnapping some random Elder Brain to "brainwash" people into getting more believers it's the dumbest idea I've heart about yet.
>it's the dumbest idea I've heart about yet
is this your first video game?
It's on par with Little Lamplight or other idiotic ideas by Bethesda. Larian were never good writers, but I expected more from them.
it's on par with bioware when they were at their best
Inquisition has better plot, writing and characters than bg3, even talking into account moronic corypheus ass. His plan and existence still makes more sense than absolute stupidity of what larian came up with.
Total dnd newbie here. What's wrong with taking stuff from some lore to make your own story and why is that exact idea stupid? It'a not like they claim to be the "ultimate version of FR lore"
Because it's pointless. The way illithids work, this doesn't benefit the Dead Three in the slightest, it benefits the illithids. Forcing someone into worship via mind control doesn't empower the god they are forced to worship, because otherwise everybody would be using mind control to push themselves towards Greater Godhood. And the Dead Three have much more efificient means to get the worshippers they want than this shit.
>b-but it strips other gods from worshippers too.
Which grants the Dead Three NOTHING, because they still aren't getting any boon out of it, it only empowers the illithids that are the enemies of EVERYONE, including the Dead Three.
>b-but Jergal lampshades that this plot makes no sense
Just because you point out that your plot makes no sense, it doesn't make it good.
>I'd say it's on par with the first Dragon Age
lol lmao even
>many animations are hand-animated specifically for a scene
Did you see a moronic face expressions? That alone fricking kills it and i wish the game didn't thought so highly of itself to force extreme closeups every other camera shot during dialogues. Character model portraits also looks really fricking bad, doubly so with how unpleasant most faces are, there are no sliders to fix larian fckups either of course.
>The game's fricking huge
It is smaller than Dragon Age Origins of all things, hell it is smaller than DivOS2.
The reason BG3 is so popular is due to a top-down astroturfing campaign funded by israelites for a literal sodomy simulator and transhumanist dyne in babylonian hedonism.
>literally "HURR DURR I DON'T LIKE IT AGREE WITH ME!"
