This game is really fkn gay.
And thats a good thing chud
time of gay's is over.
Still has multiple daily threads on v. What the frick are you talking about?
>thread every day for two straight months
honestly unreal for post-zoom Ganker
>shadowCUTE :3
>frogwife 😀
>redditgf:)
>EVILgirl(:
this is not discussion. this is gooning!!!
It's lame gooning too, since none of the girls have sex appeal. They're sweet and have interesting personalities, I'll admit that, but the Western fear of voluptuous figures is shameful. I would have given Larian more leeway in doing the typical Western thing and avoiding huge breasts, but after the Gay Bear Sex and big hullabaloo about having a big diversity of body types it triggered my, "you're a hypocrite!" sirens.
I have no idea what you're talking about, Shadowheart is perfectly conventionally attractive and her breasts are pretty big. I gave her Minthara's camp clothes and her sideboob was super hot. Did you expect hentai game character designs or something?
For everything else the game is bizarrely anti-stacked and fatphobic.
it actually didn't have many overweight people in it, that's actually a non-woke thing.
Yeah that’s what I mean. All the good-aligned characters are rail-thin or jacked and the only overweight ones are evil and stupid or monsters. It’s even played for laughs like some badly-aged 80s comedy in the barn scene.
You accidently posted image depicting BG3 (GOTY of the year) instead of Shartfield.
is that 200 million hours played in the last 30 days? jesus christ
there's genuinely too much content in bg3. I'm on my 3rd play through and I'm still finding new stuff.
Unironically this. BG3 is one of the biggest games i've ever played.
I stilll havent beat the game because I kept remaking characters, doing multiple choices. Thats not to mention I haven't even touched origin characters.
>less players than Cyberslop or fricking Apex Legends
Get tf out of here
people are STILL playing PUBG???
if you like BR and don't like Fortnite there is no other option
>those hours played
jesus christ
how the frick did Larian do it?
Like every 8/10 it has its detractors but the overall vibe is that it's good. Even people who like it will admit it's not perfect, and when that happens on Ganker that's how you know it's a good game.
CCP stopped their bots and trannies are getting tired of constant daily 24/7 organized shilling
>people like a game?
>no, it must be an organised psyop!!!
Even the normies at my work are talking about BG3. Anyone with a PC or who has a group of friends for multiplayer are talking about it. You need to go touch grass.
The game is shilled by people who haven't played it. Even as someone more interested in Dragon's Dogma 2, I see people using BG3 as a club/catalyst to trash and beat down other games.
This happened with FO4 vs The Witcher 3, Skyrim vs Dark Souls, and Outer Worlds vs FO76.
Outer worlds ended up being more forgettable and worse than fallout 76
I don't know if I'd go that far, but OW was so unremarkable of a game.
>The game is shilled by people who haven't played it
It's the complete opposite. The high metacritic scores and the bear sex joke broke brains and caused cuck and troony obsessed freaks to spam nearly every thread.
>The game is shilled by people who haven't played it.
On the contrary - the game is unjustly bashed by utter morons and other morons who haven't played it.
You'd genuinely need to have something wrong with you to be playing a turn based game
Over 5 million people did it just fine 🙁
>You'd genuinely need to have something wrong with you to be playing a turn based game
>something wrong
Yeah. High IQ, being white and having high T. Oh, also straight.
you're 5 foot tall and have a crooked penis
I'm 6'4, uncut, 7.5 inch and girthy. And white, unlike you. Cope shitskin homosexual.

Literally something moronic ceos believed in before BG3 shown them (and everyone else_ how fricking stupid they are. But shill tards are so fricking dumb that they are incapable of learning anything even if it hits them into the face. They are just coping whole day.
I think that's why the market is losing it's mind now, Turn base is much harder to make entertaining so they wanted to write it off but now more and more turnbase games are big sellers making it harder to convince everyone that they can't sell.
>the combat is entertaining
do you often play with the toys in waiting rooms
I never said they succeeded. What's wrong with you?
Oh I thought you were baiting but you're actually just stupid. Nobody is "going crazy" in the market for BG3. It had mediocre sales despite a massive marketing budget and being released in a historic drought. It being turn based which is pathetic in current year has nothing to do with sales. Everyone agrees the combat is the worst part about the game besides the narrative and bugs
>It had mediocre sales
>5+ Million
> mediocre
Ok buddy moron
Yes 5 million with a massive marketing budget and a historic name behind it during a historic gaming drought is basically a flop
the only thing that flopped is you on your fricking head as you were born
Console exclusives were selling 10 million copies a decade ago and that was during the peak of gaming where you really couldn't lose picking up a game, so there was lots of competition.
There's like 2 games a year released anymore and they only sell 5 million copies across multiple platforms?
>Console exclusives
Who cares about NPCs. Consoleshit aren't games.
>It had mediocre sales
>even phil and microshit had to go out of their way to praise how much of a success BG3 turned out
>hack devs got preemptively defensive about the public having raised standards after BG3
Your desperate coping is honestly pathetic to watch, jeet.
>phil
who? oh the fat guy for xbox? nobody cares about spokespeople anymore, what is this 1965?
Pretty sure the only people I've seen spew this garbage are homosexual zoomers in their late teens/early 20s who don't have the attention for anything except shit like Fortnite.
Nobody ever debated FO4 vs Witcher 3, it was Bloodborne v Witcher 3 you fricking zoomer
No, it wasn't, it was Witcher 3 vs. FO4.
People were b***hing about BB being on PS4.
post Toranic it's just be a bunch of losers wanting to bash big name games over each other for (You)s people try to have Starfeild and Cyberpunk fight threads among others. -if- BG3 is becaoming a club that works on all others it means it's getting the most (You)s for one reason or another.
>FO4 vs The Witcher 3
fo4 was non-contender, people just shat on it
>Skyrim vs Dark Souls
Wrong again, dark souls wasnt even popular back then. Certainly not to the scale of a colossus like Skyrim.
>Outer Worlds vs FO76
Both were genuinely terrible and shat on
>that bad?
Yes, it really is THAT bad. That is, not at all.
None of the people who hated it actually bought it on Steam because they expected it to be shit. Which it unsurprisingly was
Did they review the whole game or just act 1?
They played the game, which already makes their reviews more valid than yours.
Hmmm, you didn't answer my question, curious ;/
>Hmmm, you didn't engage with my bait in good faith, curious ;/
What do you consider bad faith about that question? Come on, let's dialogue.
>please engage with my totally not bait in a serious manner oh pleeeeeease
Hmmmmmm, no, I don't think I will.
I'm starting to think you have nothing to say, meaning you have what it takes to be a larian writer ;/

yeah hype marketing + only polish the start of the game. pretty common marketing strategy nowadays. Basically early access without the label.
At least they were upfront that they were never going to finish the game by asking people for a full 60 dollars 3 years ago
I wonder how much of it is sunk cost fallacy
because larian is a garbage game dev that appeals to impressionable normies who don't get past the halfway point. it's been the same for divinity 1 and 2
stop the seethe Todd
Name your favorite games, Black personhomosexual. Now.
>How come suddenly everyone either stopped talking about it or turned against the game?
Why does Ganker love to lie so much?
All the secondaries dropped the game and now all the people left actually care about games
I haven't paid attention.
For me, the game is just really expensive and I don't like the content even if it's 'optional' (bear sex, so much homosex, and the party members all wanting to frick the PC). People also genuinely get upset if you don't like it, and I was blocked by someone over it.
I've also played Larian games and their writing is dogshit, and I doubt BG3 is any better, and the quality in their games drops off heavily after Act 1 (an issue in DoS).
>so much homosex
This hasn’t been a problem from me. When player sexual characters give me the chance to flirt with them as a male character, I don’t choose those options. Weird that you do.
Why is it weird that I do? Are you a homophobe?
>Are you a homophobe?
As a matter of fact, I am. What are you gonna do b***h boy? Suck my wiener?
>the game is just really expensive
Speedreader-kun.
The problem for me is that every character assumes you want to frick them and all the friendly options are seen as flirting, then when they eventually proposition you the only way to turn them down is to tell them multiple times in a row you want nothing to do with them romantically and then they get upset and the game tries to make you feel guilty as if you were leading the character on. I wish the game just had a sexuality selector in character creation so you can set your character as gay, straight, or bi and only get appropriate interactions based on your preferences. Without that it feels like the writers think everyone is a bisexual sex addict and close friendship simply doesn't exist without a romantic and sexual context.
what's great is your feelings towards it are what most girl players want. Most female streamers have admitted they get uncomfortable that the whole party wants to frick them. Most defending this biorgy shit is guys.
this game has nothing on mass effect, an actual gamer series made for white males. This slop was made for no demographic in existence except apparently petrol drinking goblins
I know it's overused but I feel a fully sexual degenerate community would be the only type that would enjoy this idea of everyone wanting to frick you.
>everyone wanting to frick you.
Just like in Mass Effect?
Mass Effect wasn't this bad, most of the cast you had to tell them you were interested first. BG3 would be like after talking to the gay shuttle pilot twice he shows up in your quarter's asking for sex and the only way to avoid the fricking was to tell him that he should kill himself.
people forget but playersexual was created because mass effect was too "problematic" with its "male fantasy" of being star trek man fricking aliens
the only reason playersexual exists in games is a monument to the death of games as a male oriented hobby despite men still making up most of gamers
>Most female streamers have admitted they get uncomfortable that the whole party wants to frick them.
>female streamers
>streamers
You mean politically charged ugly feminist roasties got mad about some non-issue? Wow, riveting!
I have no problem with playersexual characters, but it's insane how easy it is to get them to frick you just by being friendly. That's the reason it needs a sexuality selector. If you had to explicitly flirt with characters and work harder to make them frick you like Mass Effect it wouldn't be a problem.
>I wish the game just had a sexuality selector in character creation so you can set your character as gay, straight, or bi and only get appropriate interactions based on your preferences.
You sound like a butch lesbian complaining about how man who showed some basic human decency towards her are wanting to frick her brains out.
You haven't played the game. Even if you ignore talking to them, you eventually get unavoidable long rest scenes where they come on to you hard. Shadowheart is the only one that if you ignore doesn't have some forced scene asking for romance/sex. It's why one of the top searches for the game right now is how to make a full custom team, people are getting tired of the horny talk.
>Even if you ignore talking to them, you eventually get unavoidable long rest scenes where they come on to you hard.
Stop lying.
>talk with Wyll a lot
>get along well
>take an interest in his life and past
>one night he shows up and tries to dance with me and literally starts flirtatiously calling me his "partner"
>tell him I'm not interested
>have to confirm it multiple times
>sad music plays over a 20-second long scene where Wyll slinks away frowning and dejected
It's just ridiculous.
definitely not a but, happened to me just the same.
However, "20-second long scene" with sad music is quite an overstatement.
The whole scene was super cringe and I really did not want to dance with the guy, but it was not THAT terrible. I honestly forgot it even happened before reading this message
>However, "20-second long scene" with sad music is quite an overstatement.
That's how it felt. It was sad music and frowning as he backed away for an uncomfortably long time just because I didn't want to have a gay dance with him.
Yeah, to be fair, I could also not wait for that interaction to end.
But now that I think about it, I would have to say the same for Gale.
The first time when you do that shit with the weave and he looks at you all romantic clearly wanting to kiss (and this is very early on in act 1) and then AFTER REJECTING HIM THE FIRST TIME he pulls that shit again when he's moping in a grass field or something.
having said this, when Mizora wants to frick, oh boy I jumped on it immediately
and Wyll was frowning after that as well, jesus christ frick off
DnD is a kitchen sink power fantasy setting so the fact a single player game for it has everyone want to frick you by default shouldn't be surprising
BG1 was low fantasy because it was more akin to sword and sorcery and conan, which was the original way it was created. Actual geeks wearing robes and rolling die with the occasional chad barbarian. Wizards of the Coast turned it into marvel super power simulator, then the euros turned it into a coom simulator
DnD was always a power fantasy, by the end of BG2 you and your party are literally demigods. By the end of TOB you have the opportunity to ascend to godhood.
Isn't there a meme about low level being the best
Like I said, the problem isn't that they want to frick me. The problem is that they actively claw at my belt and force my wiener down their own throats if I say anything non-dismissive toward them more than once, and if I deny them it's treated like some horribly sad affront as if I was leading them on when I was just being friendly with an adventuring buddy.
In my experience only Gale is like that
>The problem for me is that every character assumes you want to frick them and all the friendly options are seen as flirting
So just like real life? Like seriously, 5 different guys came out to me when I was in high school and that was ages ago, can't even imagine what it's like now
I've never had a gay friend who tried to flirt with me and any advances from gays in ambiguous situations instantly disappear the moment I say, "Nah man, I'm straight." That's why BG3 should have a sexuality selection, people in real life don't make romantic and sexual assumptions about the intentions of people they know have an incompatible sexuality.
Are you ugly?
>Are you ugly?
Did you read:
>advances from gays in ambiguous situations
That wouldn't happen if I were ugly. I do have an imposing frame and demeanor, though, so maybe more fragile twinky types get hit on against their will more?
Sounds like youre ugly :/
I'm just not a pushover so when I say no people know it means no.
Whatever helps you cope lol
Not everyone has a gay rape fetish like you.
Your complaint is a bug that was addressed the first week
The shit I described with Wyll in
literally happened to me on Friday in a fully updated version of the game. I've only been playing the game for a couple weeks, I have no idea what it was like at launch.
Wyll flirts with literally everybody.
In my party he flirted with Lae'zel, then flirted with Shadowheart, and Shadowheart called him out on it
You're trying too hard
>your complaint isn't real
>okay, it's real, but it's a bug
>okay, it's not a bug, but you should stop caring
Meds
Gale offered to show me some magic at camp and I thought he was being friendly so I said yes, then that night he came and fricked me.
The game really doesn't have friendship options. Any time you try to be nice to someone at camp they seem to take it as an invitation to frick.
and this is what the trannies in charge of the romances put in every game now
i really wish they just had a "everybody is Bi" checkbox that you could turn off in settings. and that would disable all gay/lesbian romance options and use alternative voice lines for all the ones they have "subtle" implied interest.
>wipe out the goblins
>attend the party at camp that night
>LITERALLY every single party member has an incredibly hamhanded rendition of 'if we were better friends i would have fricked you tonight' or 'hey great party do you want to frick immediately?' and when I turned them down and talked to them again hoping for some actual dialogue, they all had some variation of 'nah son you already had your chance to frick me, go away now' and that it
The frick is this game.
Don't you want to see Gale's magic trick?
Desu.
I went for Gale once because pretending to be gay for content doesn’t melt my brain, and with a gnome and the fancy astral love scene with a mini-person it just becomes giant eight-armed Gale with only my char’s two little feet dangling and visible which cracked me up.
A dating sim and then suddenly not.
you dislike a game you haven't even played because of your feefees
It is goty. I want to talk about it but the game is so huge it takes a long time and I don’t want spoilers.

I don't. Seeing some of the troons that were hating on Cyberpunk 2077 on twitter was enough for me. There are too many troony abominations browsing the internet sadly.
You only need to pay for a month of shilling to get all these sweet FoMO bucks.
Do you mfers have ANY data that proves that A) marketers post here and B) The posts here effect game sales?
Most of the threads posted for these FOTM eurojank games is verbatim twitter marketing
I wouldn't down the absolute slimeballs that post here wouldn't post twitter marketing for attention
*I wouldn't doubt the slimeballs that post on Ganker crosspost twitter marketing for attention

I don't get it, are some humans worse than others, doomed to "live" like cattle and never attain human status?
People finished it and the game does not actually have good replayability like shills would have you believe.
Toddpreet, you do not have enough influence to shape the opinions of this board with your gaslighting.
Overshilled game. They finally stopped paying indians to promote it
Keep living in your virtual reality.
Kind of hard when all the games the industry makes are shit now
AAA gaming as a hobby is 100% dead, nobody in the industry is capable of making games anymore
I knew you weren't too bright, but damn.
Not an argument, the industry is dead. It's funny you would claim people aren't living in reality by claiming this. BG3 is a worse dragon age in all respects, there's nothing new or interesting about it, not a single idea that's innovative. In many ways most of the game is actually regressive even ignoring how it's unfinished. Regressing from basically 0 which is where everybody's expectations should be after 3 years of stillborn games
Midlife crisis: the post.
The people undergoing a midlife crisis are the boomers claiming that BG3 slop should be celebrated because it's the only slop there is. Well what if we don't celebrate slop because it's all we've got?
Cram in more buzzwords into your posts.
You're not even capable of responding to what I'm saying, let me guess, regular Ganker poster?
BG3 GOTY?
>p-please engage with my nonsensical doomer babble
Hm...
No.
You are engaging me you're just too stupid to actually formulate a coherent response
you must post "BG3 GOTY" a lot
That's nice.
I accept your concession that you feel compelled to let me know that you're a moron that spams that BG3 is GOTY
Amazing.
BG3 is GOTY, no, GOTD, even, and there's frick all you can do about it. How does that make you feel? Are you red in the face right now?
It is GOTY, but more in the sense of being the only to show up.
Its competitors just didn't really try.
I'm white so I have never cared about the Hispanic GOTY award show where 90% of the websites polled are from latin america, no
If you don't care then why do you sound so mad?
I hate spics
Sounds like a prime case of mad to me.
Yes hispanics are subhuman morons and you can tell when one is posting when they say GOTY
because if you didn't know most of the websites polled for GOTY are cheaply made one-off Hispanic websites that last 6 months
u mad
I accept your concession that you are probably brown and mentally moronic
I can see why you like BG3
u mad?
u mad
Stop bullying him. Can't you see he isn't mad?
Act 1 is great and everyone agrees. After that it really loses steam, the magic is gone. Act 3 felt like a chore that just doesn't ever want to end. It wasn't fun at all outside of like 2-3 highlights.
The sheer amount of Black folk, homosexuals and other SJW propaganda is downright comical.
It's an okay game overall but nothing even remotely close to the "DUDE REDEFINED THE GENRE LMAO" quality that normalgays keep saying. Hopefully the definitive edition will make it a lot better.
Snowflake triggered by gays and blacks existing, lmao.
It's fun how homosexuals used to run around saying how awesome they were because they were all unique snowflakes and together formed a mighty avalanche but in reality they got made fun of so much for being dweebs they turned it into a "no u" situation.
I can overlook the homosexualry and obvios woke push, the game is good and I actually welcomed (yet, I haven't finished it) act 3: I thought the game was gonna end very soon and no, you get bombarded with an infinite amount of shit to do. I haven't experienced the performance drop a lot of other people mentioned on act 3, as well.
I went in expecting the worse and yes, the other characters do try to frick you in the ass but once you tell them to frick off, I never got molested again.
Imho, it's a great game and def one of the most refreshing ones I've played in the last 10 years. I can actually see myself replaying this since the game gives so many options. Playing split screen or multiplayer really makes it shine, as well.
>once you tell them to frick off, I never got molested again
The problem I have is that I shouldn't have to tell them to frick off in the first place. The fact that being close friends always leads to sex and getting out of sex requires being an abrasive c**t is really irritating to me. I love the rest of the game, but the writers clearly don't understand the concept of platonic friendship.
I agree, it's part of pushing an agenda, and it really does bother me simply because it feels forced, not because it shouldn't happen like ever. that's what you can overlook tho since the game is so good.
it all just becomes so overbearing and you dont know where to turn for fear of missing out some stupid crucial quest.
Act 2 was mostly fine, except it was set in a dark depressing shithole, and they crammed too much shit into act 3. It just felt hectic and they wrapped too many character storylines up too fast to the point where you are constantly switching, as well as introducing new characters and new subplots
>The sheer amount of Black folk, homosexuals and other SJW propaganda is downright comical.
I dont really see this, I think they give you enough dialouge options to play however you want, in your head canon you can do whatever you wantn too, I dont know how many people in the game are unkillable, if there are it's probably like an oversight.
What does killing anyone or "playing how you want" have to do with the text you quoted?
he's trying to cope and say it's okay the game is full of homosexuals, Black folk and trannies because you can kill some of them
I think between it, Starfield and Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty, it wins by default.
CDPR and Bethesda seem to be in terminal decline while Larian appears to be in top form.
Wasted potential and assets. They could have slapped a rudimentary toolset or DM Mode and keep the game going without having anyone waiting for some "definitive" edition to keep playing.
people got tired of baldur's trannies, they are the new furries/Bronies
if you shit on the game, they cry and call you a pajeet, bring up the muh score etc, back to /tv or reddit if you're so obsessed with scores or sales
The game overall was a 6.5/10 at best, nothing new under the sun, nowhere near a masterpiece, but i know npc's have shit tastes
>baldur's trannies
It's just one exceptionally mentally ill spammer, he desperately craves attention so he will spam the board with BG3 twitter marketing for months on end
I was blocked for not liking the game.
>Is it really that bad?
Only contrarians on Ganker say it's bad.
man I'm getting 2012 Ganker vibes here
Im at the final stretch, 150 hours in
The game still has issues but is more soulful than anything released in the past years
>Is it really that bad
No it's a masterpiece, what was the point of this thread
>How come suddenly everyone either stopped talking about it or turned against the game?
Shilling money dried up. They are still using bots but online shilling doesn't exist anymore. Anyone who thinks a 3 year old early access game getting that much popularity overnight despite literally no one caring about it before is organic they should kill themselves. Vanguard/Blackrock wants to push their agenda so badly.
It's a solid game with an engaging plot and very nice characters. But since we are on Ganker is shit.
>is it really that bad?
No. Stop your pathetic astroturfing, Black person. BG3 is the GOAT. One of the best RPGs ever and an instant classic.
I love space frogs
Everyone talked about this game as one of, if not the best game of all time. And then they got to act 3, and felt super embarassed.
I'm one of those people.
It just too railroaded once act1 ends
It's got 10 threads right now and even more that mention it, wtf are you talking about?
>multiple threads active at all times
>including this one
>LOL WHY DID IT FAIL SO HARD
moron alert.
It's utter shit exactly like Starfield
Act 1 and 2 are amazing but Act 3 is disappointing. So many bad quests and lgbt policy.
Combat is meh. Every fight looks same and its easy later in game. Max level is too low. You get 12 level early in Act 3.
Game feels unfinished but still had a lot of fun.
>Act 1 and 2 are amazing
(X)
I don't see how that's possible when the story and gameplay is so terrible
I like parts like circus, the Bhaal Cultist plot, the submarine and all that it's just so bloated between all that.
All Larian games have a reverse difficulty curve where the beginning of the game is brutally hard but as you level up and gain more resources to use in combat it becomes piss easy. I always play max difficulty on Larian games and suffer through the difficult opening because normal difficulty would be mindlessly easy very early.
How can people dislike act 3? It's so good lol
It's literally people who haven't played it. Act 3 is the best act and it's not even close.

dos has best turn based gameplay on the market, nothing even comes close to it
Troubleshooter has better turn based combat than DOS2 thanks to not having a moronic iniative system. Said iniative system also factors into combat a lot better than just CC spam.
>why would I play a half finished game
>what is VMTB without patches
>what is KOTOR 2
>what are DivOS games
So you don't actually play RPGs, moron? Figures.
Whoa, there hold up. VTMB is half a game WITH patches, it doesn't even work without patches. And let's not forget that PST and Arcanum become unplayable slogs in their final acts, as well as the games in their entirety being wonky and unfinished, as in much lower in quality in their entirety than bg3's act 3. And then there's NWN 1 and 2 who's base campaigns are universally hated and their only praised for their buggy paid expansions. Oh and both pathfinder games phoning in like an entire 80 hours of gameplay after the fall off in the first 2 chapters. (out of like 8)
I mean, it's just absurd. No crpg is good when held up to the standards people are criticizing bg3 at here.

It won't, Black person. Kill self.
>people with taste and working brain
If this was true you wouldn't be here crying about bg3 20 hours a day. The fact of the matter is you never really liked rpgs or thought critically about them, and you probably have brain damage.
>projection projection cope
Compelling.
I'm not sure how any of those games would be any more pandering to neckbeards than BG3 does. They are practically the same thing, only BG3 is the gay, current day version of those games.
It's a matter of standards, he's trying to pretend he has standards by naming old RPGs while in the same breath saying they were shit
He's a shit eating goblin, the same morons like say BG3 is good
BG3 is great, same as those RPGs that moron mentioned.
>the game should've been 1,000 hours instead of 300!
Play the game homosexual
I think they should have made BG3 and hired obsidian and have taken a copy of BG1 and stapled it to Josh Sawyer's forehead.
>why would I play a half finished game
yeah you should be preoccupied with killing yourself at the earliest opportunity instead Black person
Ok I really like it. Combat, characters, story, dialogue, all of it.
But can they PLEASE fix the FRICKING GLITCH WHERE YOUR PARTY MEMBERS WON'T FOLLOW YOU IF YOU JUMP AWAY AT A RANGE THE AI THINKS IT CAN'T REACH
Every now and then I look around and realize there's only 3 of us and fricking Shadowheart is just standing by a random cliff edge looking like a dumbass
Press G a couple times to un-group and re-group them and they'll follow you over.
It shouldn't be this way but taping g twice from time to time will fix this. more so if you can get in a habit of doing this with jumps. Alternatively invest in Giant Hill potions (the hag sells three a long rest before leaving the grove, and the underdark dwarf sell 1~3 a long rest as well) and have your whole party always at a str 21 which makes their jump range massive
You are way to desperate for (You)s
It's called "finishing the game".
It’s an 8/10 at best. It’s buggy both in and out of combat. The combat balance is laughably bad. The evil route does not exist. And of course in true larian fashion act 2 is lower quality than act 1 and the final act is barely held together by duct tape. It reeks of rushed and cut content in several areas. That being said there’s still a lot of game despite falling short. However it’s a sad indictment of the state of the industry that this flawed game is being held up as a messiah.
>8/10
That's using the spicsole grading standard.
For being a turn based game in 2023 it automatically starts at 5/10, perfectly mediocre. I'd give it a +1 for the broken cutscenes and then a -1 for being clearly unfinished and regressive in its design. Some of the things they don't understand just on a basic QoL level doesn't meet standards 15 years ago
>For being a turn based game in 2023 it automatically starts at 5/10
Filtered
Even reddit hates the combat and they're these sorts of people
Haven't touched the game even though I played 1 and 2 way back when.
Seems like it's for normies who are into degenerate stuff, rather than someone who enjoy an RPG adventure.
Picking one of the origin character as you player character is the worst mistake you can make in this game
>first playthrough
>custom character
>Astarion is my favorite companion
>didn't finish his questline because Durge stuff got in the way
>second playthrough
>pick Astarion as my char
>all his voicelines are removed aside from one cutscene
>most of his unique dialog is removed and replaced with generic MC lines
>he's basically a custom character wearing Astarion's skin
Big disappointment
That's a shame. I'm glad they made custom characters feel more worth playing in BG3, though. In DoS2 it felt like you were just gimping your story experience with a custom character and at the same time it always felt like you were just controlling 4 characters simultaneously rather than playing as one character interacting with the others. BG3 fixes a lot of that and gives you a sense of having an actual avatar character so overall I think it's a better experience.
Sometimes this game feels amazing with the attention to detail it offers and then in other moments it completely falls flat when going for a plainly obvious solution to a problem
>want to keep a hostile NPC alive
>toggle non-lethal combat
>knock him unconscious
>toss a potion on him after battle just in case
>game treats it as if he died because you won the combat encounter
It's trying to give you player freedom but then you can't even do basic stuff like this
the talk to dead spell is the epitome of this. early on it works well but later on it doesnt work at all with corpeses just saying they dont respond.
why did this game in particular game mindbroke Ganker so bad???
Because it's a great game but it's not "redpilled" like Ganker wants (has gays and black people)
It's not even that bad, a solid 7/10 in my opinion, but unfortunately, BG3 will go down in history as the most overrated RPG of all time.
It's got a long way to go before it can match up with any Mass Effect or KOTOR game's rating-to-quality ratio.
Mass Effect is utter garbage. A shitty RPG and an even worse TPS. KOTOR is overrated. It embodies everything that is bad about the second half of BG2.
Mass effect makes these games look like poojeets made them
Mass Effect is a garbage RPG and only literal children on XBOX thought it was good.
And yet, mass effect makes BG3 look like it was made by shit eating indians
You are insane. None of the bioware slops even comes close to the BG3. You are probably kind of subhuman which would defend rgb ending and starchildren.
You're incoherent
BG1 and BG2 are so far beyond BG3 it's not even worth arguing. BG3 is just Divinity Original Sin 2.5, a mediocre game through and through. BG1 and 2 are some of the most iconic cRPGs of all time.
>BG1 and 2 are some of the most iconic cRPGs of all time.
Seems like BG3 has both continued and surpassed them in that respect. I think BG3 is the FF7 of baldurs gate, the swansong from which the IP has been fully exhausted and will only decline from here.
>I think BG3 is the FF7 of baldurs gate
BG was already dead. The franchise wasn't alive.
BG3 is not a good continuation to the BG series but it's a great RPG in itself.
Again "great" in your mind is "unfinished slogs" so in fact, objectively, you have shit taste
>BG3 is not a good continuation to the BG series
Neither was FF7, it was drastically different from its predecessors and surpassed them in quality by such an absurd degree that it killed old FF.
Doubtful. I think it's more accurate to say BG3 is the Skyrim of the franchize. Sure, it will without a doubt go down as the most commercially successful entry, but as time goes on, more and more people will notice just how flawed the game actually is and how its RPG mechanics and "meaningful choices" are as deep as a puddle. I honestly don't even think BG3 should be treated as a Baldur's Gate game. It is Divinity: Original Sin through and through.
>BG3 is the Skyrim of the franchize
That would require it actually having any influence outside of the month it was released
You're delusional. BG3 literally revitalized both RPGs and gaming industry at large. It is probably the most important game released in the past two decades. It will go down in history as either a turning point or a last flicker of greatness before the great depression.
>i-it's saved the gaming idustry!
Oh sweet so BG4 early 2025 and more than one AAA RPG release this year? Tick tock only two more months
>no arguments
Cope harder, Black person.
>most people have shit taste and are moronic
Shocking.
>the gaming industry is saved from death! it just looks exactly the same as if it was still dead!
brilliant!
>every change is instantaneous
moronic Black person.
>vague schizo nonsense
I accept your concession again
>I'll pretend to be illiterate and moronic because I can't provide a counterargument
Continue embarrassing yourself, Black person.
>vague schizo nonsense
It sold less copies than Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring did.
I do think bg3 may end up being a potential keystone release, but specifically for D&D games. Interestingly enough, it may do so in a way similar to BG1/2.
BG1/2 served as a template and example for several other D&D based RPGs, and was accepted as an adequate approach to the question; how do you do D&D in a video game?
BG3 in its way provides an alternative, and I would argue, better, way to adapt D&D to video games. It's interesting because the changes aren't severe, but cumulatively feel intuitive and closer to the table-top experience.
Turn-based makes sense, it's slower than real-time, which may be why BG1/2 chose real-time, but turn-based is a more accurate depiction of how real table-top D&D feels, and yes, real table-top D&D is somewhat slow, but BG3 shows that's not necessarily a bad thing by trading off slower combat with more creative combat, allowing the player to do things like throw items/characters/enemies, push enemies, interact with the environment, etc.
The heart of table-top D&D isn't pace, but creativity, and in that way BG3 hits closer to the 'real' experience. I also liked how the game included spells like create water, spells that on their own don't have much use, but with creativity can be used to do interesting things.
I feel like future D&D adaptations, even if they don't implement turn-based, will take inspiration from BG3's inclusion of more non-combat and more creative/interactive features, spells, etc.
>turn based
pass
D&D in real life is literally turn-based
Okay?
>I want to play a D&D game
>Nooo this game is too much like D&D!
I want to play a fun game
Fun is subjective.
Do you find racing games fun?
If you don't, don't you think it would be odd to criticize a popular racing game by saying the cars are too much like driving cars in real life?
If you dislike the genre of turn-based RPGs, do you not see that it is somewhat counter-productive to criticize them, with your only justification being "I don't like it"?
You don't say
How the frick did you respond that quickly, you read and responded to my post within 9 seconds
Yea
I think it is pretty productive to lynch gays because I don't like them.
Yeah probably because your desire for sucking dick is so great the only way you can withstand your temptation for slobbing knob is to eradicate the source entirely
Oh look if it isn't the "taste of shit is relative" guy
It's an amazing game and shook the cobwebs loose from the industry's complacency like said.
Games like Warhammer 3 and Payday 3 floundering in reviews right now as a direct result of BG3 universally raising gamer's standards for quality and not getting held down and raped like roadkill by dlc online garbage.
>but as time goes on, more and more people will notice just how flawed the game actually is and how its RPG mechanics and "meaningful choices" are as deep as a puddle.
We can already look at it now and see those things objectively absolutely dwarf bg1 and 2. What "meaningful choices" do those games have? lol god you people are dumb
"meaningful choices" was a marketing meme invented by the gaming industry in 2010 to try and pretend games like Witcher 3 were good
I accept your concession.
Meaningful choices have been a big thing in the CRPG community since forever. The Witcher 3 is not a good RPG because the main character is too defined of a character.
Nah, it's a meme invented in the 2010's to pretend moviegames like Witcher 3 were good
C&C was already big way before. Look at old Codex posts. You just were too young to be part of the CRPG community.
Sure, but it wasn't known by anybody until it was used as marketing memespeak for console moviegames like witcher 3
nobody actually cares about 10,000 gorillion endings
>Sure, but it wasn't known by anybody
It was known by genre fans.
And harping on about endings is also something people do who don't understand what C&C is about. Torment doesn't have lots of endings, yet it has a lot of C&C because there is a lot of small-scale reactivity along the way.
>I'm a real fan because I hold the same beliefs as videogame marketers from 2010
no
I literally told you why these marketers are wrong.
Frankly, you have no idea what you're talking about. You're clearly a newbie to the genre who probably has some political gripe with BG3.
Black person if you want to talk about reactivity say reactivity, don't use marketing speak from witcher 3's release
C&C has been used in CRPG communities since the early 00s. You're just too new to remember.
Thanks for completely ignoring what I just posted, you're larping.
You're a huge moron who thinks choice and consequence were marketing buzzwords from the 2010s and I corrected you.
BG2 has a lot more reactivity and actual choices than the pretend-reactivity of BG3. To name one very simple thing, turning into the slayer and using the Bhaal powers in BG2 actually has a gameplay effect whereis whever or not you consume more tadpoles and give in to their power is completely meaningless in BG3. As if Larian completely forgot that was even a system they had in the game, let alone a core story element.
>BG2 has a lot more reactivity and actual choices than the pretend-reactivity of BG3
moronic shit bait. You clearly never played any of Baldur's Gate games and it shows. Kill self please.
so tell me, after your epicly slow turn based journey to defeat the Elder Brain, what unique ending did you experience? Did you per chance sacrifice yourself? Or did you sacrifice Karlach? Or did you side with the Emperor and sacrifice the Gith prince? Those are but the 3 endings I'm aware of, surely there are hundreds of endings one can experience when playing BG3 due to its incredibly revolutionary reactivity!
Best ending happens in the act2
Stop exposing yourself you absolute moron
So you quit playing after act 2 and getting the fake ending? I suppose that's why you have such a positive opinion of BG3, you never experienced the absolute trainwreck that is act 3 nor the laughably bad real endings.
What fake ending you absiolute moron? Best ending in the game is the act2 ending. The very fact that you dont understand what I am saying just exposes you further as someone who have not played the game. Stop talking you clown.
Are you moronic or something? There is no "act 2 ending", there is one non-choice that prematurely ends the game in act 2. The only real endings this game has are after act 3. Are you seriously suggesting the best way to experience BG3 is if you skip the entire last act?
>Are you seriously suggesting the best way to experience BG3 is if you skip the entire last act?
Considering how shit a3 is...
No I am suggesting that story-wise best ending where least people die and least destruction happens is an act2 ending. So what you gonna say now? No choices matter, huh? When you can choose best ending in act2?
moronic dishonest piece of shit.
> Are you seriously suggesting the best way to experience BG3 is if you skip the entire last act?
NTA but yes
>after your epicly slow turn based journey to defeat the Elder Brain, what unique ending did you experience?
You wouldn't get it.
I wouldn't. As somebody that actually knows about the setting killing mindflayers is something a mid level jobber would have to deal with
>I'm unable to have fun because of my mental deficiency and autism but it's the games fault!
No, you're just moronic.
I mean if I was completely ignorant of the setting and mentally moronic I can see how I could think the game was good.
>haha it's actually good that I can't enjoy things because of my moronic autism
Weird cope but OK
If by "autism" you mean me actually being informed on the game and having played the original games than sure.
How many morons do you think bought the game no knowing what turn based is
I love and enjoy playing every BG game - BG1, BG2 and BG3. You evidently can't. Your loss.
>How many morons do you think bought the game no knowing what turn based is
Don't know, don't care. morons be morons, nothing new.
Do you like dragon age? because BG3 is discount dragon age
>Do you like dragon age?
DAO is one of my favorite games. But BG3 is superior in almost every way.
I don't know. Origin precedes the pozzed industry and is a gem for that reason only, in comparison BG3 seems "low brow"
>Origin precedes the pozzed industry
lmao
Yes. After origins everything had to be playersexual. Dragon age 2 had hamburger helper
It's funny how DA:O was woke in their day but now seems practically outdated because it still showcases women as sexy and stuff.
>Origin precedes the pozzed industry
Oh my sweet summer child
I guess gay sex and cucking back then was "redplilled" (before term even came to be)
It was still directed at a male majority audience, the last AAA crpg game to be so
now we get frog sex and a red ogre with horns and tons of dudes trying to frick you
actually that's not true because there's trash like larian in existence, sorry forgot about you in your own thread
>frog sex
>red ogre with horns
What are you? Gay?
Why do you care about women playing the game, Anon? I thought you wanted a gamer girl gf
Dragon age has Ogren and BG3 doesn't, so BG3 is shit on all fronts.
Dragon age sucks dick, dungeon siege for life
>turning into the slayer and using the Bhaal powers in BG2 actually has a gameplay effect
It unreasonably lowers your global reputation (even if nobody was around to rat you out), which I always found a dumb mechanic. I used it to remain morally neutral to avoid having my evil characters leave my party.
>turning into the slayer and using the Bhaal powers in BG2 actually has a gameplay effect
Anon, Dark Urge is the gorion's ward of bg3 and giving into bhaal powers carries serious consequences. Are you for real right now?
>giving into bhaal powers carries serious consequences.
Serious consequences = 16 ac
Durge, a side bonus mode character, has more CnC than bg1 and 2 in their entirety.
Shhh, no deflecting to bioware schlop. "giving into bhaal powers carries" carries no serious consequences in bg3.
>carries no serious consequences in bg3.
Yes it does.
Name them.
Drastic changes in NPC perception based on your behavior and dramatically altering the storyline.
No changes in how npcs treat you long term and no dramatic difference to the storyline.
Jaheira literally gathers an army to fight bhaal chosen outside of bhaal temple in an attempt to stop you at any cost but ok
I guess it doesnt really matter
Considering how shit of a character she is (probably the dumbest character in the whole game), this just translates to more exp when you're already level capped.
Yeah it doesnt matter
because... it just doesnt! I SAID SO!
kys troony, facts dont care about your feelings
The fact is that jaheira doesn't matter because she's the stupidest character in the game and just another druid
ack yourself
Can't, am not a lariat drone.
join the ack
you do not matter
you are an npc

kys rajeesh
>you're already level capped
Are you one of those morons who also didn't play BG1? Vanilla BG1 ended at level 8 or 9, depending on the class.
>BG1?
>Shhh, no deflecting to bioware schlop.
>he is demoralised to the point that he can only respond with greentext because each and every single one of his arguments got torn apart
gg ez
Why do you keep bringing up bg1 and 2 when the thread is about bg3, made decades later by a different dev on a different system?
I never even selected her character so she did this to me as a level 1.
moving the goalposts I see. That poster was talking about the tadpoles. Giving in to the tadpoles does indeed have zero negative consequences in BG3 nor is it ever even mentioned if you decide not to consume any of the tadpoles. don't you think that's a huge story element they have just forgotten about?
Getting branded by the gobbo priestess carries no negative consequences.
Letting volo lobotomise you carries no negative consequences.
Doing bhaal shit carries no negative consequences.
Perforating your brain with bugs carries no negative consequences.

>whole world gets destroyed in one big ffa slaughter
>no consequences
is this moron serious?
>"giving into bhaal powers carries"
Giving into Bhaal powers doesn't have serious consequences in BG2 either. The actual choice is made at the very end of ToB when you're undergoing the trials. Before that point all endings are open to you.
>Giving into Bhaal powers doesn't have serious consequences in BG2 either.
>Shhh, no deflecting to bioware schlop.
>Giving into Bhaal powers doesn't have serious consequences in BG2 either.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. If you turn into the Slayer you lose "reputation" (which is moronic given that fact that it even happens when you do it in a dungeon), but otherwise it doesn't matter. It doesn't keep you from achieving a certain ending or whatever. In BG3, you don't even get these blessings if you don't make choices BEFOREHAND, e.g. murdering certain NPCs, murdering party members, upsetting people, etc.
When it matters, none of your choices matter. BG3 is one of the most on-rails linear cRPG I have ever played. Also, I really don't give a shit about choices and consequences when the core gameplay loop as well as the story and writing are complete ass. BG1 for instance had very little meaningful choices, but it was a great game as a whole.
Completely wrong, it is most off rails rpg
Why shills are so dishonest?
>bg3 sucks because choices supposedly don't matter
>they didn't matter in the other games either, but that doesn't count
Dude, this is just mental illness. Your opinion is not credible.
You need to learn to read. I said they don't matter in other games if the game itself is good. Meanwhile, you can have as many choices and consequences as you want, if the game itself is bad, it doesn't matter. BG3 is just a bad game, from the combat, to the writing of the dialog, to the overall characters and story, nothing about the game is good.
>the combat, to the writing of the dialog, to the overall characters and story, nothing about the game is good.
All of those things are good lol. What kind of drooling moron thinks bg1 has better combat than bg3?
>BG3 is one of the most on-rails linear cRPG I have ever played.
You haven't played a lot of CRPGs then.
You should be more subtle, indian subhuman.
Bg1 and 2 both have horrible bioware writing.
You would have known if you played any of them.
read
Its true thought. Bioware writing is atrocious. The only well written bioware game is me2 and it comes at the cost of destroying everything original was and completely sidestepping what series were about.
Bg1/2 writing is horrendously bad.
you've clearly never played BG1 and 2. Also, someone who likes Larian games has no right to criticize any game for its writing, not even Forespoken is as badly written as BG3.
I did. Are you going to tell me that elf bearing a name "John" while even humans have exotic names like "Imoen" and how the frick rogue leader was called, I cannot even pronounce that, is a good writing? Plot relying on 10 different McGuffins to get you from start to finish is a good writing?
Its horrible.
Like absolute bottom of the barrel pulp fantasy writing akin to dragon lance and even worse because dragon lance wont call an uber elf dark messiah a John.
Please have a nice day, shitskin tardjeet.
You are seething rajeesh because yet another of your shill threads were exposed.
>BG1 and BG2 are so far beyond BG3 it's not even worth arguing.
>le trying to fit in "oldgay"
All BG games are great, BG3 included. Yes, I just played through them not too long ago.
If you like BG3, why do you hate Mass Effect so much? It's basically the game that popularized the core design philosophy behind BG3. A cinematic, story driven spectacle based around choices and romances. Only ME did it much better even back in 2007.
>It's basically the game that popularized the core design philosophy behind BG3.
Complete nonsense.
In BG3 every hub is completely open, you can go anywhere you want, the game features SIGNIFICANTLY more checks and dialogue options opposed to a shitty dialogue wheel where you half of the time don't even know what your PC is going to say/do, the game allows you to freely engage in combat at any point, you can employ all sorts of skills freely in the world in order to progress, etc.
BG3 is MUCH closer to Fallout or Arcanum than it is to the piece of garbage that is ME.
He's Ganker's resident pajeet agitprop spammer that was hoping to get children in this thread and got people probably older than him shitting on his FOTM so he's trying to reverse bait and claim mass effect is worse than BG3 now
Yeah, that's my point. BG3's overratedness is nothing compared to the apologism people throw out to defend anything from those two franchises.
only good kotor is kotor2
only good me is me2
KOTOR 1 is better than KOTOR 2 though.
>haha look at me being so contrarian aren't I unique and interesting
Name your favorite RPGs right now or have a nice day.
Wizardry 7
Temple of Elemental Evil
Jagged Alliance 2
Knights of the Chalice 2
Baldurs Gate 3
yikes
>haha let me name the least known Troika game and a bunch of old shit half of which aren't even proper RPGs
Kill self contrarian Black person.
And BG3 has earned it's place among the best RPGs. To believe otherwise is insanity.
>half of which aren't even proper RPGs
Which ones? What RPG has more rpg mechanics than Wizardry 7? Even BG3 doesn't have opposing faction parties dynamically traversing the map killing each other and searching for quest items.
wizardry is not an rpg, its a dungeon crawler
he probably thinks dork souls is an rpg
he's mentally moronic
Wizardry 7 is literally a CRPG, it's a non-linear open world game with towns and factions and everything lol
>Wizardry 7 is literally a CRPG
it literally isn't
>it literally isn't
>Literally granddad of crpgs.
>wizardry is not an rpg
Literally granddad of crpgs.
wew lad why is everyone that dislikes bg3 a moron
Man, turn based cRPGs really make a sorry list when compared to all those famous and iconic RTWP counterparts.
Those are tactical games with stats, not RPGs.
Baldur's Gate 2 (which is great despite being weaker in the second half)
Planescape: Torment

Shadowrun: Dragonfall & Hong Kong
KOTOR 2
TOEE
Knights of the Chalice
...
Not really. BG3 is without question the most overrated RPG of all time and quite possibly in the top 3 of the most overrated games in all genres.
Not sure why you'd think Kotor or Mass Effect games would be anywhere near the top 50 in that list. They are neither overrated nor underrated, they are just appreciated for being good games. If anything, I'd say both ME1 and ME3 are actually slightly underrate, the former due to the narrative that it's clunky and the gameplay sucks and the latter due to the ending controversy. Keep in mind, nobody mentions the endings of BG3 as a negative and they are even worse than the endings of ME3.
Nobody cares what you think rajeesh
BG3 is the game of the decade
India lost
>play through a single player game
>beat it
>enjoy it a lot
>don't incessantly spam threads about it to avoid being called a shill
>if there aren't enough threads then the game is dead and that means it was bad
what do you fricking want from me
"BG3 talk is dying down" sounds like pure cope to me. The game still competes with CSGO and Current Bethesda Game on Steamcharts, is just about to release on console, and still gets big marketing pushes from that dumb live-action RP thing. It still gets regular discussions on every board and even on RPGCodex. Maybe you're seeing slightly fewer blatant spam threads and concluded that everyone's stopped caring?
No, it's actually pretty good.
>pick it up again for a second playthrough
>remember that none of my choices actually matter
>drop it for a week
>repeat
Was fun before I knew that there were just 2 endings. Not worth another 150 hours
I played as durge for my second playthrough and it was pretty dang different.
The smaller story differences and quest outcomes sound cool but I can't be bothered to slog through the game again knowing that it all amounts to just kill or control the brain. Makes everything seem pointless
Mentally ill moron who hasn't even played the game spamming the same threads over and over I see.
Off yourself.
The mental illness I understand, but what the frick drives people to false flag while using the same fricking filename?
With a game that already has at least 3 demonstrable schizos treating it like it fricked their mother, do they seriously think nobody is going to check shit like this?
It's one moron who is butthurt about the game. He got BTFO'd too hard on /vrpg/ so he's trying his luck on Ganker now.
What else you can do? Other than implementing IDs we're just gonna get mentally ill schizos that repost the same things just to hate on games for a long time.
>How come suddenly everyone either stopped talking about it
First of all that's clearly not true because there are multiple threads up right now. Second, the full release was 2 months ago so even if your claim were true, it would be quite normal.
If you want to look at a game that everybody stopped talking about real quick, look at Starfield.
>wizardry
moron is clearly baiting since Swen himself mentioned it's one of his favorite games.
It is bad and completely forgettable because of the ending (or lack thereof). I've completely forgotten the game. But before the terrible ending the game was fricking amazing.
Can anyone tell me if there's an achievement for fricking everyone in the party? Planning on doing that during my Durge playthrough.
>wizardy 7 is an rpg
exposed yourself clueless zoomer morons
back to experiencing game through youtube
You already embarrassed yourself enough, no point in doubling down.
Yes, you did that. No need to cope. Dungeon crawler is an rpg, my ass.
Why can't we just enjoy games?
Games are so bad now it's more fun to argue about them being bad than playing them
I hate games
>get to town
>get buried under 80000 dialogs and events
>can’t deal with it
>quit game
I can’t make it through these games, why can’t they just make a story without questdumping you every time you reach a camp or town?
It's almost as if the number of NPC quests corresponds to the number of NPCs.
it's a larian game so 90% of the content is trash
>Mfw i still don't know who baldur is or what his gate does
>who Baldur is
The owned of a gate.
>what his gate does
It opens and closes
baldur is a purple homosexual and his gate is your ass
it's not actually baldur but balduran
>Balduran
They got past act 1 and everything stopped being new and exciting. It's like getting past rennala in elden ring.
I mean I suspect most of the morons that bought the game paid 0 attention to the early access because it was known by many that there was no new content added to the game for a very long time and the only finished part was act 1
Everyone finally reached act 3 and the final big bullshit ex machine choice that goes over like a shart in a crowded elevator.

You are the only one trying to force narrative of BG3 being bad. Stop samegayging.
oh look who it is
>BG3 being shit
BG3 is awesome. Try harder, shitskin jeet.
It's not very good, co-op does a lot of heavy lifting for longevity though, I know a lot of people still just restarting runs with their friends in act 1
>ending is all the same your choices dont mat-
ends game in act 2 with gale
>game has no consequences you can become bhaal spawn and-
jaheira turns on you and tries to kill you
you can murder whole world in the ending
starschizo pajeet shills whats our next made-up cope attempt?
incoherent
cope
do you really shit in the street and wipe ass with hand?
It's funny how hard starfield lives rent free in the minds of trannies and mindbroken indian pajeets even in a BG3 thread.
Because they're shilled and anti shilled by the same people
That explains a lot then, thanks.
by the same person in case of the starshit
Yeah, he likes to talk to himself. uses Ganker x to scramble his reaction images from twitter, larps as an oldgay WHILE BEING an oldgay. completely off his rocker
i beat the game so i'm playing other stuff?
nice
i kneel
Ganker is very conservative, the game is popular, conservatives generally are reactionary in the sense that they are obstructionists on principle. Check out literally any other communication platform for conversations on this game not centered around identity politics. It's a pretty good game anon
Was a paladin troony a character in bg1 bg2 or in nwn1?
Lets settle this once and for all Gankerirgins. Baldurs gate 3 is an objectively good game even if fails in some departments like writing.
>Its too easy
Its easy if you are an adept player of dnd. Doesnt mean its not fun since roleplaying is the major focus of the game and broken builds can be fun for powerplaying
>gameplay is bad
You are a Black person. The gameplay is good because it offers a variety of ways to solve problems. The handcrafted scenarios enable you to aproach combat in many different ways and combat doesnt overstay its welcome, emphazing player engagement
>too many gays
True. Doesnt mean the game is broken; just that you are a snowflake homosexual
reasons you dislike are entirely subjective which is fair but doesnt take away the game's merit. Dont you dare to (you) me
I don’t think it’s too easy or bad gameplay and I’m the opposite of the type that complains about gay people.
My entire problem is the story falling apart into nonsense in act 3 and bugs.
Act 3 didnt really bother me all that much. I only played as Durge though, his story kinda makes act 3 less of a mess. As for bugs i had some annoying ones like dialogue skipping but as of my replay in patch 3 i have yet to see it again
I was cursed with crazy noclip into the abyss bugs and being unable to complete stuff like the steel watch factory because of things just ceasing to exist, but at this point I think my gpu might be dying or something since it seems to be a me issue.
>the story falling apart into nonsense in act 3
I still don't get this complaint, what part of the story was nonsense? The only thing I thought was silly was the final twist at the very end with the elder brain being behind everything because it feels like a crazy ass pull that accomplishes very little, you were always gonna have to confront the brain at the end of the game so all this means is that the final fight is against a mastermind rather than a mcguffin pawn.
The emperor is just a hollow shell that adapts to however the PC wants to see him. Making him balduran was completely unnecessary and trying to shoehorn in extra “epic”ness that wasn’t needed at all.
A netherbrain is not a thing that exists or is at any point so much as hinted at as a possibility or a thing that has ever existed anywhere in the lore or game world. It is not a thing. “The control method that worked for possibly a year now suddenly doesn’t and the thing it was controlling has magically morphed into something that doesn’t fricking exist, so now someone has to turn into a squid because this other squid with nebulous intention that is very into people becoming squids, has a *hunch* that the control method for this thing never before seen in the history of the world will now work if you are a squid” is just…nonsense. Fricking pants-on-head nonsense. It crumbles under the slightest thought.
This idea that eating someone’s brain would assimilate their magic powers into you is fricking nonsense.
That suddenly goblins appear out of nowhere and the whole sequence leading to the new impossible asspull brain is nonsense.
Does extra attack from paladin stack with sword bard or sword warlock's extra attack
No.
Dammit, I remember someone saying there's a multiclass combination of paladin and something else to get three attacks per round.
Yes there is, it's unclear whether it's a bug or intended feature but if you multiclass paladin with pact of the blade warlock you get 3 attacks per round with your pact weapon at paladin 5.
it stacks with warlock sword bond shit, but not with sword bard.
sword bards is a generic extra attack. no generic extra attacks stack, only improved extra attack stacks with generic extra attack.
warlock's stacks because... it just does, okay!!
>Gay sex simulator
no doc, it will lose to Starfield
Act 1 is GOAT. Act 2 is mid and Act 3 is a trainwreck. Also, the wokeshit gets worse the further you go.
>Act 3 is a trainwreck.
How so
It's an overpozzed piece of shit, there has never existed a woker, more disgusting shit than this. They stole my money, but fool me once shame on you, fool me twice - you won't fool me twice, gayian.
>ctrl+f
>no china
>no tencent
If you're not exposing the obvious fake hype shill campaign, you're encouraging paid shills to shit up the board again
Not only is BG3 not actually that popular, it's the first game to be tied to 2 corrupt governments for funding via the Belt & Road initiative, the Dutch and Chinese governments. The links between Nasper/Prosus/Tencent/Larian are blatantly documented.
Sorry dude, the Dutch embassy in China said the game sold gangbusters its over
>the Dutch embassy in China
Would be funny if it wasn't the only source for sales, but it is. Now it's actually nauseating.
The fact they're trying to play up a CRPG as mainstream of all things is the most China thing imaginable.
I don't know man, you could do the same thing with Blackrock and Vanguard with every other AAA studio in the west. Would that change anything? The era of claiming the chinks are "corrupt" when posting from the US or europe is very, very laughable. the west is as corrupt and almost as totalitarian as the chinks.
So chinks are not corrupt?
I think you got this thread confused with a witcher 3 one.
Not a witcher3 thread, rajeesh
what?
Let's just say I immediately regretted my "good guy" choices. The characters are ABSOLUTELY dogshit.
I'm still waiting for them to fix Act 3
Wait for the Definitive Edition next year or the year after then.
Delusional post
Bad faith Black personhomosexual. It's a good game, give it a try. Thought I'd hate it but I felt like I'd gotten my money's worth before I even finished act 1. Just try it before acting like a homosexual
Why do you morons get all smug when discussion of a single player game starts to die down after people have already played it?
Getting upset over homosexuality is a symptom of lower intelligence.
homosexuals are simply disgusting. That's all there is to it. Like maggots in a rotting wound.
>t. closeted insecure gays
I think all women should get out of the gaming industry too. microsoft literally picked the CEO of 343 because she rode motorcycles
sorry she wasn't even ceo, she was VP which is just below ceo
It's not that we should kill all homosexuals, we should kill all the homosexuals making videogames and putting homosexuals in videogames
then I can go back to playing videogames and not talking to homosexuals like you on this board
This is the first long game I played in a while where I just started another run right after I beat it. I played RE4 Remake right after on a higher difficulty, but it's a much shorter game. Usually if I beat a 100+ hour game, I'm done for a long time, usually years before I replay. I have attempted it with other games, but I get bored. There's still so much I missed in the first playthrough though. Like not accidentally having all the tieflings and druids get killed, seeing the secret bandit lair or whatever, seeing what it's like entering the underdark from the other side, actually getting the stat buff from the hag and not getting my eye removed. The replayability is so good. At least for two playthroughs. Still remains to be seen if I'll get bored by act 3 though.
People play games, beat them, the play other games. Welcome to reality.
and then never talk about them again
If you are mocking me, there's a general on /vg/, you fricking idiot
at some point Ganker moves on
I'm fairly certain that playing normally you encounter more character who are openly homosexual/bisexual than people who display that they are heterosexual.

Going on adventures is gay. If you wanna crawl around dungeons and fight dragons and shit, you probably suck penises.
The only reason the game is not 10/10 but it is expected considering the WotC mandade about ''diversity''.
What if I like that
Gays do not contribute to the continuation of humans, so your opinion is irrelevant.
False
Gays created civilization. Homosexuality is generally the first sign of a society evolving into a civilization due to a signifier of reproduction control and male alliance-formation, which is reflected by more advanced social species in nature.
>continuation of humans
>implying that's a good thing
i don't think the game has even one cutscene with a straight couple kissing or doing something sexual, it has at least two such cutscenes with lesbians.
and i think i remember a male dwarf casually mentioning his husband.
You're not having fun until you're throwing enemies at other enemies and seeking gear to maximize it.
>schizoposting for ants
you're not changing any minds. 1 person samegayging 3 posts acting like those images are cringe when there's 128 people in this thread.
Meds.
Anon your image isn’t legible
>you're not changing any minds
That's because you homosexuals don't have any "mind" to begin with, you worthless cattle.
not a bad comeback, i'll let you have this one
Thanks. All those years spent arguing about shit on Ganker finally paid off.
>Baldur's Woke 3.jpg
>obsessing over the sexualities and genders of fictional characters
Yikes.
Also if you hate them so much you can just like kill them you know.
Good that I never played beyond ACT 1.
Typically for Larian to hide their BS in later parts of the game.
The characters look totally hideous as well.
It was fun for a while, but I reached the end of act 2 (64 hours) and vidya fatigue kicked in.
just beat the game
what a poopoo ending needs a definitive edition
Many people on here are FOMO slaves and Baldurs Gate 3 isn't that new anymore.
"People" that makes these posts should unironically fricking die in the very moment
I fricking hate how this board just has to hate shit that becomes popular.
Especially cringe because you fricking KNOW if this game was as popular as like Divinity Original Sin 2 Ganker would instantly call it the best RPG ever made.
But nope. Best selling CRPG, by far the most popular/relevant CRPG (effectively bringing the genre to normies) and this is it. You're now going to have homosexuals larp over Planescape Torment, BG1 and pretend that they played Ultima 7 and shit just so they can shit on this game.
In a way it's amusing though. You just know that those people are literally doing homework (for free) on older RPGs just to effectively shitpost this game for a thread that will die out and their autistic ramblings to be instantly forgotten. In a way, it's also kinda respectable, going to insane lengths just so that your critiques can have weight, you're gonna see homosexuals talking about RTWP (they never knew what it was prior to BG3 releasing), you're gonna see a huge flourish of BG2 lovers pop up when you were lucky to see a BG2 thread on Ganker once a month prior to BG3s release.
Just non stop larping zoomers who've never touched a CRPG, suddenly turn into experts and don't be fooled, they 100% are experts. They have curated the thoughts of some eceleb youtuber with 20k subscribers (those are the ones that cover long form CRPG analysis) by carefully noting down what that reviewer said throughout a 2+ hour video. Throw in Spoonys Ultima retrospective and there you have it, a person who has never touched a CRPG, sounding like an expert.
And btw, every single reviewer you're parroting the opinions off, love BG3. I can guarantee it. God bless you autistic low lifes
All that cope just because you refuse to accept that people don't like what you like.
Ganker bandwagoning in a echo chamber means absolutely nothing anyways.
Why the frick do you feel the need to cope over people not liking what you like? Jesus fricking Christ, are you all women or something?
I’m not reading all that
The first half is good, but the second half is so “paid beta” that if I were a more antagonistic person I’d be trying to get my money back.
>You're now going to have homosexuals larp over Planescape Torment
I'm not sure what you mean by this but Planescape Torment does some things way better than BG3. Obviously it's a game with a much more limited scope, the combat is a complete non factor and in a sense it feels like more of a predecessor to something like Disco Elysium than to BG3 but I fricking wish BG3's writing was half as rich, dense and interesting as PS:T's.
Black person, Planescape Torment is nothing but fricking writing. It's called a VN and you attributed its comparison to another fricking VN. It's not even an RPG, you're characters predefined.
So thank frick BG3 didn't turn out anything like it
It could have had all the good things BG3 had going on and also better writing. I don't think someone saying they preferred the writing in PS:T has to be LARPing as an oldgay to shit on the current popular thing. I played PS:T for the first time last year and Dak'kon immediately became one of my favorite RPG companions, and none of the BG3 companions were as interesting to me even though I liked most of them well enough (Halsin and Wyll were big misses for me and I killed Minthara in Act 1 so I don't know what she' s like as a companion).
>It could have had all the good things BG3 had going on
And how do you know that?
What games have offered you (name one) as good of a package as what you're requiring? You just named two right now, one excelled in roleplaying (BG3), the other excelled in writing quality (Planescape). Only difference is, the writing in BG3 isn't dogshit the same way the combat in Planescape absolutely was.
morons like you just make me wonder why we don't just round you up already.
>hurr durr, I wish this game had combat like DMC4 but writing as good as Blood Meridian. DURRRRR

kek, I guarantee gays do this all the time
>Can't play as a goblin
>Can't fug a goblin
Larian absolutely knows what they're doing with these designs. Why not go all the way?
Goblins are for slaying, not for laying, stupid.
you creaking old bag of shite
You were saying?
sazza, was she in that cage about to get crossbowed? what's the point in helping her flee, goblins still don't attack you in their camp. and if you get less globlin combat aren't you just saying no to a lot of exp?
this game needs more random caves with combat encounters. also needs to give like half exp since you get max level way too early.
screenshots don't prove anything you moronic piece of shitlicking homosexual
>screenshots don't prove anything you moronic piece of shitlicking homosexual
Yeah because I edited a screenshot in under 20s.
Take your meds.
you edit a web page element and then screenshot, you fricking zoomer
