Better than starfield
that's not an opinion, that's just more whining about Starfield
I am sorry your game sucked.
go back
That is a very low bar anon, this one must also be shit then.
Oh yeah it's terrible
Low IQ spotted
I tried it for like 10 hours and it kinda sucked
rent free
correct
depends totally on what type of games you like. if you don't like turnbased rpgs then i'd stay away
turn based in what way? like FF7 type turn based?
Like xcom
I haven't played that
You're a fricking moron
>didn't play a game
>oh haha you're stupid
get a life and leave the basement
No "haha". You're just a fricking idiot.
please get help
Meds
Start playing video games little dude.
Then get x-com 2 war of the chosen and stop being a b***h.
It's a strategy RPG, so top down map movement ala shining force, disgaea, shit like that.
oh I haven't played those types of games
my only experience with top down is more Starcraft
Closer to Final Fantasy Tactics or Breath of Fire Dragons Quarter.
Just like some other anons said. It's a Disgaea with realistic graphics and western homosexuality.
never played Disgaea
I purposely tend to avoid anime type games
Then you will love it, bro.
While the game has positioning like an SRPG battles play out much more like 4 niggss in a row combat. Bosses have multiple phases and characters will take multiple actions every turn (with more variety in actions you can take) over something like Disgaea where you just surround an enemy and spam the highest level cutscene attack.
It's turn-based like actual Dungeons and Dragons. Combatants roll for initiative at the start of combat and they take turns in that order at the top of the round.
Baldur's Gate 3 is a superlative game. It meets and the hype and surpasses it. It is a true RPG in every sense of the word where the gameplay mechanics marry themselves with the narrative elements to help you create a story that is truly your own.
>it takes the worst aspects of a tabletop game and simulated them
that's like the opposite of the goal of crpgs
No it's not. The goal of a CRPG is to translate tabletop rulesets into a video game format. BG3 is a incredibly faithful adaptation of the 5e ruleset, outside of some personalized rules on Larians part. Some good, some bad.
>BG3 is a incredibly faithful adaptation of the 5e ruleset
Right down to the LGBT propaganda. Truly an achievement.
Ye, it's a shame they got rid of set racial bonuses. But it's a minor blemish on an overall amazing package.
Why the frick do you think they're called something as seemingly redundant as Computer Role Playing Games? It was always because of their relationship with the tabletop RPGs.
>the goal of a crpg is to be virtual monopoly
the lengths eric will go to to pretend this game is good is fascinating
thank you for a real reply
It's a great turn based RPG.
In a world where Persona 5 exists, no.
Hell in a world where P3 and 4 exist, no.
P5 is a bad turn based rpg underneath a layer of slick presentation
Frick off, I want more P5 and much less of terrible action rpg hybrids like Xenoblade.
If turn based is dead at least replace it with tactical rpgs.
You would want more P5 games because you're a friendless loser playing friendship simulators.
Dude, you’re a grown ass man. You can’t spend all your years in fictional anime highschool.
Haha
>turn cringe gameplay
>with RNG on top
bald guy 3 is simply a bad game
You fricking shills still keep fricking with the resolution so my filter won't catch you. You absolute homosexuals.
>ask a question
>ahhh it's a shill
It's the equivalent of dragon age inquisition only with a worse story, worse combat, worse companions and worse performance
Great gameplay, bad writing. Still deserves GOTY.
People say act 1 is great but the next 2 feels rushed
Get Divinity Original Sin 2 instead, it's basically the same thing but actually fun.
DnD is (and always has been) a terrible system
And so is the armour system.
DOS1 > BG3 > DOS2
Dude the writing in DOS1 was fricking awful. DOS2 was amazing. BG3 is better still.
Original DnD and AD&D were based and scrub repellant. Everything after has been regressive bullshit for babies that can't handle math and charts.
Even real DnD heads acknowledge OG was janky as frick. It really comes down to shit flinging between 3e and 4e. And once 6 comes out everyone will hate that and love 5e.
The dialog is one of the most cringe inducing sludge I have ever seen. Specially the boss reveals and the forced cinematics in between the fights. Utter fricking cringe.
>Specially
Not how that word works, ESL-kun.
>Is this game actually worth getting
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Who would have thought the first area in the game has more interactive jungle gyms than the rest of the game
The first area is like 60 hours worth of content, and the second and third acts are of a similar quality.
oh god all that top down confusing looking combat, maybe I don't want this game
Yeah if top-down bothers you I would not recommend it. It would be pretty silly to buy a game in a genre you fundamentally didn't like.
Here's an old webm I have of act 3 throwing Boo, which I thought was neat at the time.
After the devs made that furry little Black person immune to "throw(n)" damage I might actually try that out in my latest playthrough
there's a mod that unlocks the camera and you can play over shoulder, zoomed way out etc, it's great for screenshots
>The first area is like 60 hours
(X), the game has liek 30 quests total. THe only reason the game would be over 100 hours is because of the slow as frick boring combat, the unneeded constant cutscenes and dice roll minigame and... well what else?
>(X), the game has liek 30 quests total
There's a bunch of secret stuff to explore. Like in Act 1, it starts with you being between a Druid Grove and Goblin City, both of which you can explore, and between those is bunch of other minor areas of content, usually setpiece encounters, a tiny village or a dungeon. HOWEVER, while exploring these things you can find a secret entrance to the underdark, which is another entire zone, which also has several encampments, some big ruins to explore and multiple bosses, and underneath that is ANOTHER giant area with multiple places to explore. In one act.
Implessive
>there's tons of stuff you can click on and get cutscenes
>larian claims these single interactables are quests
lmao, I see now. It's literally a movie game
I want to crush your head with a rock, motherfricker, you can't be so dense
walking around and clicking on things to get cutscenes isn't "emergent gameplay", it's a movie game
I honestly can’t think of a game less like a movie than a crpg. You’ve clearly never played this. Or any of them.
Looking like a moron to try and win an argument isn’t the flex you think it is.
Are you moronic? i have more than 30 open quests in my quest log that i’m still working on as we speak.
>talk to random npc on the side of the road
>monsters spawn next to them

That is not at all the BG3 experience. Didn’t play it eh?
>the game has liek 30 quests total
Oh no, the horror! I so wish this game was full of shit quests like procedurally generated "go into this cave and kill bandits" ad infinitum.
Zoomer fricking complaint.
>game has 30 "real" quests
>the game is 20,000 gorillion hours long guise
soemthing doesn't add up
>soemthing doesn't add up
Adds up quite easily when you realize many of the quests track through all acts instead of last five minutes when you fast travel to Bandit Camp #375 and kill everything on sight. You'd know if you played the game and weren't a shitposting poorgay on a Norwegian canoe making forum.
>many of the quests track through all acts instead of last five minutes
I'm willing to bet the actual cause is the 25 minutes you spend in the cutscenes and combat for every little "quest" which are actually the equivalent of returning Kylee's dagger in BG1
Why are you talking about things you know nothing about anon? Are you moronic? You clearly didn't play the game.
There's 30 real quests in the game but larian marks hundreds of "quests" in you quest log. Almost all of them are focused on the cutscene and diceroll system with a hamfisted encounter at the end for the most basic quests. It's actually terrible game design, especially with larian's dogshit combat system
Nah, you already admited you didn't play the game the frick do you know about it.
>absolutely destroy the game in one post
>you didn't play the game
monumental cope eric
>admit you didn't play the game
>game is bad because I made shit up
>get called out
>samegay and praise yourself
Nah, frick off lmao... GOTY btw.
>you didn't paly the game because I said you didn't
that's not how it works eric
>I-its not a REAL quest unless its got dragons, explosions, car chases and bank robberies!
Correct, most quests in the game are talking to some random person (or animal) which is actually just an excuse for larian to drop a bunch of mobs on your head
Dude. Just stop. We know you haven’t played it if that’s your comparison. You’re looking dumber by the moment here.
Bethesdrone spotted.
There's a ton of that in act two and act 3. You just gotta look. I'd even argue that act 3 has the most.
>using a precious voidbulb on such an easy fight
That's is extremely wastefull. Void Bulbs should be used only on bosses IMO.
There's some secret ones in the final nautiloid fight, you can grab like 7 of them before you leave, and then you get even more in the goblin city. Larian games give you way too many utility items in general. (Bg2 had the same problem with giving you enough scrolls to fully equip the spellbooks of a 6 caster party) I don't like saving items, I use them when they are useful. I'm playing honor mode so it's better to use items than be stingy.
>you can grab like 7 of them before you leave
It's really hard to do in honor mode while also trying to kill the cambion commander.
Nah, with my bard durge and laezel I had 2 mage hands and just had them drag them all to me. Managed to kill the commander and got the 2 cambion adds halfway but it was too risky and I had to leave.
I throw those frickers away. Maybe I’ve been wrong.
Dude, voidbulbs are overpowered. You can pull so many strong enemies into the void, they are probably one of the most usefull utility consumables in the game.
>You can move enemies around, and kill them with environmental effects!
So it's just like new Zelda then?
Fake fun.
Thought this was dos2 from the first 5 seconds before I looked at the portraits lol looks exactly like the tutorial fort area.
it's passable, it has everything to be a commercial success.
Pretty good graphics, very one-dimensional characters that you can easily put in boxes after one or two interactions, multiplayer to hide downtimes, subpar gameplay, forgettable music but uncensored penises for the "lol random" part
What down times?
Gameplay is exactly what it's supposed to be. If you don't like rpgs that's on you.
Not particularly a fan of any of the characters myself but they aren't horrible by any means and it has superb voice acting to help, specially by the narrator.
Music is great.
Anon, seems like you are just salty because it's more popular than your game?
As someone who disrespects it with every fiber of my being, and even outright hates it because this is what the normalgays turned my favorite genre into, I tell you to pirate it and see for yourself if you actually care.
I will tell you that it's horrid garbage with dogshit writing and abysmal gameplay made for shallow waifugays and mentally ill gay theatre kids who ERP when they play DnD.
Its playerbase will tell you it's the best RPG of the decade with no competition whatsoever, and that any and all detractors and haters are just angry politically motivated bad faith actors.
Neither will show you any actual videogame footage baring sex scenes. I won't because there is no gameplay to speak of. They won't because there is no gameplay to speak of.
The answer lies in your own head, you'll have to see for yourself whether you're willing to forgive the things people like me aren't, and whether you're as fascinated by its "strengths" as its fanbase.
>Its playerbase will tell you it's the best RPG of the decade with no competition whatsoever
Underrail, D:OS1 (and arguably 2), Disco Elysium and Black Souls 2 are all better games. Being a top 5 RPG from the last decade and #2 in the 2020s is still a great achievement.
I don't think you like rpgs. You literally said black souls. I mean Jesus lol. There are other good recent RPGs, like Knights of the Chalice 2, Expeditions Conquistador, Deadfire, Grimrock, etc., but sounds like you might just be moronic or something.
Grimrock 1&2 are great, but I wouldn't put them in my top 5. Currently playing Expeditions: Rome and enjoying it, but I wouldn't even put it in my top 10, and I heard Conquistador is worse than Rome.
>Deadfire
I don't like RTwP.
>Knights of the Chalice 2
Fricking hell, it's a sub-100 mostly positive reviews game on steam. That's more obscure than Spiderweb.
>Grimrock
Grimrock is an enormous deal and there is no modern crawler that comes close to its map design, 2 especially.
>Currently playing Expeditions: Rome and enjoying it
Rome is goyslop for morons. Every game after Conquistador was worse than the last. Why did they have that moronic owlslop looting mechanic where you free camera the whole map to pick up like 3 random chests, which are otherwise empty and devoid of content? God Rome sucks.
KotC2 is a grognard game. It has a 500 page megathread on codex.
>this is what the normalgays turned my favorite genre into
Elaborate. From what I know Sven was a big fan of BG2. Why would he shit on something he liked?
it's heavily shilled and my post will be attacked by marketers for saying this game is a waste of time.
actual DND 5e is more fun that this garbage for zoomers that is just overhyped for mediocre pillow humping sex scenes.
But of course zoomers never played an actual tabletop.
Is BG3 the best game, of course. Is actual DND 5e more fun, yes.
Where's the Tencent pajeet?
Did he get rangebanned?
It's a good game
Don't talk to the priest Last Light Inn
I pirated it.
The UI is very cumbersome.
I was expecting it to be a genre-defining game but it's really more of the same. If it weren't for shadowheart's cute face, we wouldn't be talking about it.
It's not the game of the year for nothing
>b-b-but
cope
no one was saying anything idiot
I know nothing about the game so quit crying and go tip your fedora and hug your anime pillow.
Maybe start playing video games instead of being a Black person.
>gets mad at me for no reason

What a projection
The biggest faults are the moronic party members and the last third of it being dogshit
you know what ya'll? I'm gonna go ahead and say it! BALDURS GATE IS A homosexual PROPAGANDA DISGUISED AS A VIDEO GAME, IT WAS MADE BY homosexualS FOR homosexualS. AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF PRETENDING ITS NOT!
I am sorry ya'll, but it just had to be told.

Trump is no longer a factor, I have his mojo.
>the game made me pick the gay option! I'm not a gay, it's the game's fault! I just can't stop sucking wieners!
So stab the gay character. Easy fix. You can kill anybody.
That doesnt remove him from the game, problem still there
It is if you like to GOON
It's a very high budget porn game thinly veiled as an "RPG".
hm see now that's more of a good reason not to buy it than just the gameplay
If you like porn games, then go for it, you perv!
overrated garbage
>points out homosexualry propaganda paid by china
>hur hur u r le seething chud

yet you cannot address the points because you have no counterpoints
checkmate shill marketer
I'm still a little upset that bladesinger isn't in the game. All I want is to be a melee wizard, casting magics in melee and then swinging my sword. It's a shame Eldritch Knight forces you to use your bonus action for it.
There are mods which fix both.
Bard and necro are both better for this.
If they can't let me cast a spell at something and then smack it in the face in one turn, I don't care.
Overhyped turd. The game is just kinda boring. 5th edition is just too braindead.
It's impossible to hear an unbiased critique of the game, leftoids treat it like their Citizen Kane and thus provoke an equally extreme reaction from the opposite side.
It’s not a political game. It’s a massive game that has a lot in it so of course you’ll see a troony orc for 2 minutes in your 160 hour adventure.
All the bullshit adds up to 10 min max. Caring about 0.3% of the game is as moronic as obsessing about 0.3% of the population…
It absolutely is a political game. The devs intended it that way and many of the actors confirmed it. It's the only leftist media that actually succeeded in 2023 besides Barbie so they will champion it as hard as possible.
>it's a leftoid game because. . it just is, okay??
>unhinged name-calling ensues
please have sex before it's too late, just frick each other and thank me later when you're not obsessed with this shit
It's a leftist game by design and it's completely self-evident if you play the game.
I am not giving my opinion one way or another, but it is a fact.
of course a disingenuous blind homosexual like yourself will fail to see that its not just the gay sex or literal trannies that make bg3 homosexual propaganda. but its very essence. from the conception to creators. to how characters look sound speak and look.
10 minutes in 160 hour game? The funniest part is being this obsessed could only come from a huge loser who’s never touched a woman. You are a sad pathetic genetic dead end who disappoints his family to know end so you obsess over a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the game. Maybe it’s a escape from your dreary life, who knows.
homosexuals are bottom tier, but at least they have sex putting them above you, LOL.
you dont know me. yet what I speak of the game is truth.
>woman "insult"
You’ve got issues, bud. Plus you can kill anybody. Don’t like the tiefling kid who steals your shit? Fireball. Done. I don’t remember a troony orc? But fireball, done.
>you got issue that you just dont coomsom homosexual propaganda
I'll pass. call me what you wish.
You’re free to pass, but you have nothing of value to add to this thread. You’re just an angry little dude with nothing going on. Nobody here is going to stop playing because you hate gay people, bud. You’re a child throwing a tantrum and this ain’t /misc/.
so at least you agree that bg3 was financed by tencent to spread homosexual propaganda? you cant deny the "game" is filled with it.
Alright so this russkie is also the tencent spammer lmao. Let me guess, Rogue Trader is a better game, right?
>you cant deny the "game" is filled with it.
I can, and I will.
Problems, Black person?
Nothing gay has happened in my games so far. Maybe stop trying to bang the men?
It’s a great game, I’m not going to let insecurity stop me from enjoying it, and at least it’s not like dragon age explaining dead names and forcing me to like it. I’m just here to be a necromancer, kill bosses and raise zombies out of the folks I don’t like.
Who gives a shit if one of the thousands of NPCs has a same sex companion, or if you can bang a male companion if you choose to and work for it? That takes effort I’ll never make.
Frick dude you’re like totally obsessed and it’s just kind of sad. Just play another game. Like it or not, BG3 exists, and we’re playing it, and nobody care about some random anon who’s just seething at the thought of a gay NPC in a videogame
>at least it’s not like dragon age explaining dead names and forcing me to like it.
BG3 literally does this if you find Nocturne's journal
>"it just makes sense that if you go around the world for long enough you'll see trannies"
>for thousands of years billions of people lived full lives all around the world without ever once seeing a troony

So do I, you are a sad uneducated seething loser who’s clearly never been with a woman. It’s so obvious and cringe. Bet you spent New Years alone or with your parents you sad fricking homosexuals.
>So do I
That doesn't make sense responding to either post. Bot or ESL?
> yet what I speak of the game is truth.
> So do I
Haha, dumb illiterate loser homosexual can’t even read. Thinks it’s all about him like a toddler. No surprise you are a dumb uneducated poverty embarrassment to the family line.
>> yet what I speak of the game is truth.
>> So do I
Still wrong. He didn't say "I speak truth about the game", which would warrant a "so do I" response because the 'do' is corresponding to the verb 'speak'. The main verb in that sentence is "is". "So do I" has no meaning because that isn't a "x does y" sentence. It's an "x is y" sentence.
>"This apple is red"
>"So do I"
Can you see how moronic that sounds?
you're trying to use logic with a literal homosexual. if he has any logic he wouldn't be a gay to begin with.
You understand how bad that insult is to a person who actually frick women, unlike yourself. LOL

sodomy is the root of human suffering. the distorted use of our sexual energy leads to worship of the ego and the illusion which enslaves us to this satanical system.

dont care homosexual
cry more Black person
think you do care. you insist on defending the homosexual propaganda. funny how you homosexuals at least dont deny its propaganda. you just ignore whats being said and strawman an argument.
whatever you say pablo
you will never be white
or human
personal insults on a make believe persona instead of arguing with whats being said.
you homosexuals are so tiresome. I long for the day the earth and the seas swallow all you golems up.

still cant refute that bg3 is homosexual propaganda.
why are you homosexuals so disingenuous? why do you insist on personal attacks when you have no idea who I am or how I live? stop being such liars. concentrate on whats being said and refute me. I want to be wrong. I dont want video games to become nothing but gay propaganda akin to bg3
Go to bed, ivan.
cant refute I see.
>refute my delusional ramblings
Take schizophrenia medications and it'll refute itself.
anon, why dont you homosexuals answer this.
does tencent own 30% of larian or not
is the game filled with homosexualry yes or not?
try being honest once here.
>why don't you engage with my delusional ramblings
Reread my post, pyotr.
why you denying reality when its obvious tencent owns 30% of larian and its obvious the game is filled with homosexualry.
You forgot your verb, vladimir.
cant interact with the truth huh? its nothing but strawmans to stir away from the fact that tencent really does 30% of larian. anyway, enjoy your homosexual "game". not much I can do but to deny homosexualry until my last breath.
Vadim, you're having a mental breakdown again.
Tencent owns everything man. It owns part of fromsoft even. Who cares? They probably own a percentage of half the AAA studios out there. They even own part of CDPR.

Not very Christian Anon…
hating all that is foul and sordid and vile and profane is a virtue.
>hating is a virtue.
I can see why your would think that, incel chantard Black person.
Yeah but I’m here to discuss something I enjoy. You’ve spent the whole morning complaining impotently about gay people in a game you hate and whining.
Not the same, man.
have a nice day you Black person. go "be better" then. what a lil b***h.
You should really take your meds before your mental breakdown drives you to suicide.
I already am. That’s why I made the comment. You’re coming across like some b***hy little child who’s angry that people are having fun with a game he doesn’t approve of and… who cares, man? BG3 ain’t preachy about it like dragon age, and that’s good enough for me.
call me what you wish anon.
at least Im not here defending a literal homosexual propaganda of a game sponsored by china.
Dude, nobody cares who you are or what you think. You’re as irrelevant here as you are to the people you know in real life.
But your the one with a mental disease who will never have sex with a woman. Seriously, your dumb religious parents must be so disgusted and disappointed by you.
why do you homosexuals insist on personal insults based on a character you made up in your mind when the homosexual propaganda pushed by tencent and larian is very clear and real.
>homosexual propaganda pushed by tencent and larian is very clear and real
take your fricking medication you schizo Black person
why are you denying reality? is the "game" not filled to the brim with homosexualry? does tencent not own 30% of larian?
Take. Your. Fricking. Meds.
Black person
tell me, is that a lie? does tencent not own a huge portion of larian?
listen Black person, stop being disingenuous and explain to me how am I wrong that the game is filled to the brim in homosexualry. characters speak like reddit commiefornia homosexuals. heres a challenge, using the character randomizer find a true male or female character. lets start with character creation in just how deep the gayggotry runs in this pos propagagnda.
"true male or female character"
Explain what this is.
I don’t know how to be more clear? You live a sad lonely pathetic life, the cult of pol offered you a way to not feel like such a loser, so you became a gullible sad disciple.
It’s a DND game 99% of the time, yea 1% is gay. Your average person is heterosexual enough not to give a frick but because you have and never will be with a woman, and you’ve been brainwashed by your handlers to froth at the mouth like Pavlov’s dog every time a trigger is presented, you are upset.
This is why nobody in your real life takes you seriously.

BG3 is more like an apolitical gay porno with top notch world design and gameplay. It's kind of disturbing that ideologically possessed people are fuming over it, old Ganker would have shit all over these whiners.
You say that as if turning one of the most iconic and beloved cRPG franchizes into an apolitical gay porno isn't reason in and of itself to shit on the game.
>You say that as if turning one of the most iconic and beloved cRPG franchizes into an apolitical gay porno
It already was that. BG is not a serious campaign, it's a pop culture blockbuster with a hilarious amount of big bads and high stakes, it's always been that and that's exactly what BG3 is.
huh? Care to name a single gay character from BG1 or BG2 (that wasn't retroactively added to the games with the Beamdog enhanced editions)?
I'm really getting a bit tired with historical revisionists like yourself outright lying about shit.
Ok, and? BG 1 and 2 don't have you accidentally having sex a few hours into the game, BG 3 does.
99% of people who play video games had no idea what Baldurs Gate was before BG3. You think you're Skyrim but you're not.
> BG3 is more like an apolitical gay porno with top notch world design and gameplay. It's kind of disturbing that ideologically possessed people are fuming over it, old Ganker would have shit all over these whiners.
This. I can’t tell if it’s the turd world or zoomers are fricked.
The Baldur's Gate games were some of the most beloved cRPGs ever made. Why do you assume fans of the genre and fans of the original games would appreciate Larian turning it into a gay porno? How are these people not justified in voicing their grievances with BG3 if it so blatantly disrespects the original games it is based on?
I’m a huge fan of the originals, would rank it 1 > 3 > 2. You could be gay in 2 I think. BG3 is not a gay porno it’s whatever you want. Characters are player sexual, and that’s only if you even want them to be. You can choose to have a sex free game and turn off all nudity. Besides the Demon that’s pretty much what I did.
I’m not going to say the game isn’t gay, I’m sure it can be. I just didn’t see it?
It's not zoomers, it mentally ill milennials that got left behind and can't move on.
You could be right, now I’m curios?
Imagine growing up with the xbox and how that would effect your view of what video games are. They want mountain dew ads, booth babes, and press X to awesome "comfy" games. A lot of these people are just saying they like bg2 because they've been told it's a classic, it's just regurgitating what people before them said to appear authentic.
zoomers like you tend to forget that Xbox actually had games like Kotor, Lost Odyssey and Dragon Age: Origins. Those games are all less accessible and less casual than BG3.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
? BG3 is objectively the most casual friendly and accessible CRPG ever made. I mean, you guys always brag about the player numbers but you don't want to admit what that actually means? You have to sacrifice complexity and depth in order to reach that level of mainstream appeal.
LOOOOOL
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THIS STUPID homosexual LITERALLY LISTED A BUNCH OF SHITTY CONSOLE RPGS WHERE YOU JUST QUEUE UP THE SAME ABILITY 5 TIMES AND MAKE A SANDWICH AHAHAHAHA LOLLLLOLLL
2 most based posters in the thread. I hope it’s just one awesome guy.
It's shocking to me how so many rabid BG3 fanboys have never actually played BG2 and that they have to pretend that nobody else played the original games either as a coping mechanism.
Here's me playing BG2. BG3 is better.
Boomers be like
>DAAAAMN THIS GAMEPLAY IS BADASS FOR REAL DAWG!
>dice roll D&D gameplay, but the dice rolls happen in the background in real time to speed up the combat
DAAAAAMN THIS GAMEPLAY BORING AS FRICK
>dice roll D&D gameplay, but every dice roll takes 1 full turn and slows the gameplay to a crawl
DAAAAAAMN THIS GAMEPLAY FIRE AS FRICK I LOVE BG3
>play shitty action RPG with rules of D&D that doesn't fit it hiden behind
This is shit
>play D&D as it's intended to be played
This is good
you do realize that BG3 uses D&D as the underlying core system too, right? Everything that you make fun of in BG2 combat is 10 times slower and worse in BG3.
No it isn't, RTwP is abomination that takes worst parts of turn based and action combat.
weren't you the guy who was really impressed by all of those systems you can abuse in BG3 to cheese bosses? Why would you post a webm of the same thing being done in BG2 as something negative now? And no, you didn't play BG2, that's not your webm. Nobody who has played BG2 would seriously consider BG3 to be the better game. That's like someone claiming Age of Empires 4 is the better game to AoE2. It's simply factually incorrect.
>And no, you didn't play BG2, that's not your webm.
Yes it is. Here's me playing IWD2EE. I got like 100 of these webms. BG2 doesn't have exploits, you just stack resistance gear (AC does not matter, at all) cast the same 5 buffs, then pierce>breach>done. Every fight is that.
Overhyped turd.
>shit dialogue
>shit worldbuilding
>shit exploration
>shit combat
>shit stealth
>shit visuals
>shit controls
>shit immersion
did anyone ever manage to make mods that remove all the woke cringe
>remove all the cringe
>all that's left is DOS 2 gameplay but worse
Just was interested to know if mods saved it. I would have pirated it if they did. But you're right it's better just to play a different game.
why give any attention to it in the first place. there are so many other games out there with zero homosexual propaganda and much better gameplay.
why bother, there'd barely be any game left
It's a decent RPG but it's developed a cultish fanbase that refuses to see it's flaws. It's also attracted the worst types of fans due to the amount of pandering the game does to their sensibilities. .
It's pretty good but remember, the promise of sex is what drew in a lot of people. Remember this is currently most people's first crpg like this. I've talked to a lot of people unaware there was even a BG1 or 2 and they get very emotional the moment you point out a problem with the game.
It falls apart after act 1 which like 70% of people don't finish
Act 1 isn't even that good.
You get a whacky sci-fi opening and then you get dumped in some shithole countryside where every inch of civilisation is overrun by little green Black folk or some other kind of monster Black person.
did anyone truly find the druid vs thievlings narrative enjoyable? shit was boring as frick. I hated thievlings for being disgusting refugees and I hated the druids for being such spineless cucks. not a single interesting character in this shit "game"
My last playthrough I led a raid on the grove, killed both groups, and joined up with a drow paladin and a goblin army. You know you don’t have to side with the Druids or the tieflings right?
I imagine the other factions are just as gay as the druids and thievlings
there is no saving this POS
>Never played the game
>Obsessed with it
Why are poltard tourists like this?
>I imagine
The only thing avaliable to you, pathetic incel.
>he doesn't take out every goblin on sight, as a principle
And you can literally kill them both by siding with goblins. So if you don't like them, the game allows you eliminate them all.
>RPG
There's no actual roleplaying though. Either be a generic good guy or be a moron murder hobo that loses 40% of the game's content.
I’m neither of those things… how are you so bad at creativity?
I pirated it and tried playing a couple of hours. It's kinda shit. It has good graphics and the females aren't all hideous however. But beyond that, not great.
Is there still no easy way to make a custom party? I have no interest in the characters from what Ive seen and would rather just have a full party of exactly what I want, its the only reason I never played it.
BG3 has LGBT in it, that's enough of a reason to not play it.
this. and the creators themselves are also reason to stay away.
homosexual game
made by homosexuals
4 homosexuals
>LIfe has LGBT in it, that's enough of a reason to not to live it.
Follow your own advice and have a nice day ASAP Black person
What are some other good turn based that are good to play like bg3 or dos? I tried pathfinder but that games combat just feels like shit to play compared to bg3.
I'll always recommend solasta but I'm sure it'll play like shit compared to bg3 now, and it always looked bad.
Thanks I'll check it out
Underrail is a game with fantastic turn-based combat, but it's much different than BG3/DOS.
I heard some people say that ToEE is peak turn-based DND, but I haven't played it myself yet.
>additional question
i have a dragon age origins itch, is this good for that?
It's blatantly a DAO successor far more than a successor to Baldur's Gate
It's a successor to DoS2. It has absolutely nothing in common with Baldur's Gate nor Dragon Age gameplay wise.
Absolutely.
Absolutely not. This is the netflix marvel version of dragon age with shittier gameplay. Think dragon age guardians of the galaxy version
Guardians was good though. This is like the Captain Marvel.
Okay game, absolutely mental fanbase though.
What gave it away?
>Lesbian learns there is no such thing as lesbian
Wowzers, more news at 11.
It's a good game. Ignore the seething samegay.
Morrigan>Shadowbawd
>DAO gays ban finally expires.
>Seething and shitposting everywhere
Do fans really call Shadowheart "shart"?
They've been calling her Shadowprostitute, lately
>points out homosexualry propaganda paid by china
of course you deny reality. you are a homosexual after all.
i hate poltards so much it’s unreal
you cannot be okay with homosexuals without being one yourself. /misc/ or not
I guess the 95% of the population who’s having too much sex to care is gay… Are you fricking moronic?
delusional
You're not okay in the head, Black person. Neck urself.
The setting is FR, so I honestly did expect the worst. The actual gameplay is enjoyable if you like D&D, which I do. The UI is feels cluttered, but it works well enough. The story, setting, and characters are all standard FR fare, which is...not a good thing. If you like FR, you'll probably like BGIII. Romance in video games is usually not a positive addition and everything about what they did in BGIII will make you cringe on a whole different level than what we saw in DA:I. Sexual content is present to be present. It isn't well-written or character defining. In other words, fan service. Fortunately, you can ignore it entirely. Overall, the game feels like someone's bad FR campaign complete with over-the-top characters, high magic, and romances that the last ERP enthusiast you had to boot from your tabletop group is probably fapping to as I'm writing this. In other words, it will definitely be GOTY. On a positive note, I was pleasantly surprised by the level cap being 12 instead of 20.
It's pretty easy, actually. I work with a few. One of them is even a friend. Seriously, gay people are just people who have different sexual preferences. What exactly do people like you want, anyway? Lynching and witch trials? Bands of thugs going house to house checking to make sure that you only have sex in one of three approved ways? The Inquisition?
Go touch grass and maybe order a dildo and watch some gay porn. Clearly, that's the actual problem here. Your same sex attraction isn't wrong and you can stop feeling bad about it. It's okay.
homosexual. no wonder you like bg3. it was made by those like you.
I didn't like it actually, but thank you for confirming that you have the reading comprehension of a primary school student with learning disability.
>Who gives a shit
Well, see, when he sees it and gets hard, it's because the Chinese gay propagandists are trying to 'turn' him. Well, you know what comes next. Then, post nut clarity hits and he has to come and rant on Ganker about gay propaganda because he's obviously not gay in any way shape or form. Damn those insidious Chinese gay propagandists! They're probably working with that uncle who touched him when he was five!
That would actually explain a lot. Dude is a sad, angry little man shouting into the void.
>deny reality
>reality
Your mental derangement isn't "reality", brown homosexual.
says the one denying bg3 is homosexual propaganda made by homosexuals for homosexuals.
which it is.
plain as day.
thanks for saving the west by shadow boxing and shitting up the thread
so you agree with me that bg3 is homosexual propaganda made by homosexuals for homosexuals? I knew you would. its very obvious after all.
cringe
cringe? cringe would be accepting homosexuals. cringe would be playing bg3 in denial that its anything but homosexual propaganda sponsored by tencent.
Are you a turd worlder, mentally ill milennial, or zoomer. Me and my friend are curious?
Dude you really should take it to pol. You’re kind of depressing everyone here with how sad you are. You come off like a 120 edgelord b***h.
have a nice day, Black person. that should make you feel better.
Dude you try too hard.
yet you cant deny it
>you can't deny my schizo nonsense
you just going to keep denying the reality that the "game" is filled to the brim with homosexualry and that tencent owns 30% of larian, huh? okay then.
Kek this /misc/troony is still mad after months.
Months, literal months. WTF?
>which it is.
>plain as day.
Can you resolve the grove questline in a non-evil way without forcing the druids to take in all the tiefling refugees?
Kill the goblins at the camp. Just wipe them out. You don't even need to kill the ones out front. Do small group fights inside, kill off the leaders one by one. The goblins are literally the one common problem both the tieflings and druids are worried about. I didn't even talk to the druids.
Nice, I thought the game would force you into a didactic tale about how heckin epic and morally correct it is to take in demons from hell as refugees.
BG3 is one of the best games ever made
that's just the truth
haters be hatin' n' seethin'
won't change the fact
>play game with friend

>tell my friend I have zero interest in continuing, we play some shitty survival co-op instead
You couldn’t figure out stealth? You press down on the d-pad and you don’t walk into the red cones representing vision. Not only is it simple, it’s something anybody who plays games is extremely familiar with.
Are you handicapped?
And yes, the game tells you when you’re in combat. And there is no auto attack feature.
What a fricking terrible post.
>combat is slow as shit and mainly consists of selecting autoattack and waiting for the AI to slowly think for ages before autoattacking
Wow, just like Level 1 in every video game ever made.
>if someone is downed you can just throw a fricking health potion at their corpse fifty feet away to revive them lmao
How is that a negative? If magical health potions were real then where's the logical inconsistency?
>have to watch a slow as frick not fully skippable animation of a dice roll every thirty seconds
Right mouse button you turbo homosexual.
>every single character is boring
>we agree to permabench Shadow the Edgehog because of how insufferable her voice and dialogue are
>talk to the wizard once, he's so annoying neither of us talk to him again
Completely subjective. Most party members at the start are a little distant because you're all strangers, but they come out of their shells soon enough.
>stake the vamp because he tried to kill me in my sleep, don't know why anyone would ever choose something different in that situation so I guess that was a total waste of time and effort for the devs to make a companion nobody who is playing the game seriously will get to know
Suck your blood =/= kill. The voice actor won numerous awards for his performance and is a fan favourite so once again you're the outlier.
>crashed the squid spaceship in a random spot, there just so happens to be an ancient crypt with treasure within a 30 second walk from the crashsite, which is within a 30 second walk from a secret tiefling hideout, which is within a 30 second walk from a goblin camp, which is within a 30 second walk from an owlbear nest...
Damn bro almost like it's a fricking videogame. Also it's a druid grove, not a tiefling hideout.
>neither of us can figure out how the frick stealth is supposed to work, game doesn't tell you if you're spotted or not
You're moronic. Actually fricking moronic.
>fighting a miniboss when it just vanishes, have to assume it just glitched out of existence
Never happened in my 400 hours unless you're talking about Ethel turning invisible, which is a spell.
>get stuck on terrain and game is now softlocked
Never happened in my 400 hours, and even still you can fast travel to any portal on the map; you're just moronic.
>tell my friend I have zero interest in continuing, we play some shitty survival co-op instead
Sound like a pair of totally braindead cumgargling homosexuals tbh.
>hur hur sordid disgusting homosexuals exist therefore you should accept them
No, therefore you should have a nice day at the earliest opportunity, hypocritical Black personhomosexual.
I see that made you angry, good.

Lol
Lmao
You didn't even mention JA3 and Void Stranger.
Surely you mean Long War 1. XCOM 2 is a downgrade.
What I hate most about X-com is how close it was to being a great game, but missed the mark. I’ll have to try Long War my wise non poltarded friend.
Nah man, legendary difficulty. It’s a completely different game with the way everything takes twice as long to develop and costs twice as much and the enemy deployment is changed so you’re always up against challenging odds and underequipped. Instead of a few missions with magnetic weapons that’s all you get for like 6 months and you have to be crazy tactical in every battle, but it’s still 100% fair. I’ll take that over mods any day.
It’s pretty great actually, OP. Still a bit buggy in places, but I’m playing it again already.
Incredible game we that makes subhumans angry
>cringe? cringe would be accepting homosexuals. cringe would be playing bg3 in denial that its anything but homosexual propaganda sponsored by tencent.
>what does one being a virgin or not has anything to do with bg3 being a massive homosexual propaganda disguised as a video game?
cant refute.
cant get laid
>hur hur muh dick
youre such a Black person
I could see myself getting frustrated at the RNG dice rolls so i purposely avoid this game.
How poorly optimized is this game? What's the shittiest rig that can run it without having to make the game look like complete ass with everything turned off?
It's optimized NOW, it used to have an issue in the third act. You need to be at least on par with a modern console in terms of specs, I would not run it on minimum specs. I ran it on an old mid-range rig at 1080p with a 2070s and i7 on ultra setting np, but if you're Brazil tier probably not.
https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/baldur-s-gate-3/18813
I mean, I haven't been into PC gaming for years now, and back then system requirements were often inflated bogus trying to get you to buy newer and more powerful hardware or the games were so poorly optimized that not even the recommended requirements could run the game without constant FPS drops.
BG3 is the voice of a generation. Suck my dick. Choke on it.
If you're considering this game just look at how the people bashing it act. The way the criticize it clearly indicates they didn't even play it and are basing their opinions on it off of silly 10 seconds clips like "lol bear sex".
reminds me of the aspie samegay defender that spams buzzwords about the game and then has a mental breakdown
Damn people are crying really hard over the GOTY.
I like it, it's fun for me at least. You should pirate it and play for a few hours or so to decide for yourself.
Checked out of the game after that cringe "I AM LESBIAN HEAR ME ROAR" scene with that big paladin dyke.
>Checked out of the game after that cringe "I AM LESBIAN HEAR ME ROAR" scene with that big paladin dyke.
Same, dropped 10 minutes into the game.
You checked out 50 hours into a 100+ hour RPG because of a line or two from a NPC?
I wish we could see flags in BG3 threads. I am convinced 90% of the unhinged schizos hating on the game are broke thirdworlders with their insane fixation on homosexuality.
And it has been proven that /misc/ is primarily used by shitskins.
Its pretty good, though the writing and line delivery range from awful to serviceable at best.
And IMHO, doesn't have much replayability since your choices don't really matter too much and everything can be done in a single playthrough.
Why should I play a game that features LGBTP poz propaganda that starts as soon as you click play and enter the character creator, all the way through to the final act of the game?
Because the so called propaganda is literally like .1% of the game. Maybe you're against it out of principle, but lets not pretend its invasive.
yes 99.9% of the game is filler
You've already convinced yourself the game isn't for you. You just wanted reassurance.
So the few times in the game that aren't complete filler are overburdened with larian homosexualry
It being there at all is invasive, regardless of how much of it there even is. You say it's 0.1% of the game, but everything I've seen, all the discussions online, all the screenshots and videos, confirm that it's not just 0.1%. Watch this game get the "GLAAD" award this year.
Your discourse on this game is as
said. Probably the only thing you know from this game are little clips here and there posted on Ganker taken out of context, or something completely optional that is a 10 second cutscene in a massive game.
if most of the game is filler and then there's gaygays everywhere, then the gaygays will really stand out
Theres like 3-4 questionable NPCs in the game out of hundreds. Unless you think the existence of something like a black NPC guard is "propaganda" in which case you're far too gone.
most of the NPCs in the game are filler, so the few that are not being homosexuals really stands out
Why should I play a game that has homosexual troony propaganda in it when I could play a game that doesn't?
Do you like fish sticks? Do you like fish sticks in your mouth? You're a gay fish and the face of 2020! Suck my dick and choke on it!
Wrong game.
Your Ganker chuddery wont take back their sales or awards. They won. And they will make even more. You will kneel eventually.
DuPont makes billions a year, that must mean they are beloved and have the trust of the general public.
Who is buying the product if nobody likes them?
Are we really at the stage of coping where you insist everyone is merely pretending to like the game?
Well that's exactly how modern games are sold, 90% of people don't actually paly the game and just buy it because of the marketing. This "model" of selling a game is accompanied by devs stuffing dozens of half baked features into their games to overwhelm players and make them think the game is good
Journalists will literally open a game, look at all the features and then give it a good review based on how many bloat features it has. A perfect example of this is elden ring, where journalists saw the horse riding, horse combat, jumping, crafting system and open world and just gave the game a 10/10 review without even playing it at a time where it was stuttering like crazy and had extremely low framerate and would freeze
I have not met someone who disliked Elden Ring that wasnt being disingenuous or grossly nitpicky. Sure go ahead and not trust reviewers. But the overall masses loved ER too. Look for reviews of people who played hundreds of hours.
All these games have something in similar and the similarity is that they're shit games with tons of features to get good reviews from journalists
I don't like any of the souls games nor elden ring. Not my cup of tea. When pressed that's my answer and it boggles the mind.
I own Elden Ring, I made it past the first boss and feel no feeling of wanting to play it anymore.
>I can claim everyone likes these games if I just dismiss all criticism as disingenuous or nitpicking
literally go back to twitter. you won't ever be happy here.
Well, not to be as inflammatory as the other anon, but anecdotally I can tell you that most people who say they love FF7 have never played past the Midgar section of disc 1, let alone arrived at disc 2.
I think it's fair to assume that most people who buy a game don't end up finishing it.
>comparing media entertainment to a chemicals company
ok Black person
They're both deadset on grooming children to be homosexuals and trannies.
have a nice day
Why are you homosexuals like this now?
Why are you such an irredeemable Black person? have a nice day.
>Dame Aylin saying "Thanks for freeing me now im going to go have sex with my wife" somehow completely broke an entire game for people
I didn't even know she was Lesbian until Ganker told me because on my playthrough I killed Nightsong because I thought it would help me to get into Shadowheart's panties.
The entire thing Ganker's panties are twisted over is that once you save her and meet back at Moonrise she goes "Now if you're excuse me I am going to spend time with my beloved and reacquaint with her mind AND body." and Isobel is like "Aylin please." Like thats it.
Oh right, you also need to save Isobel. If you fail to save her from kidnapping in Last Light Inn she will die after you defeat Ketheric. So you need to choose a very specific way of actions to see that lesbian dialogue.
If you like turn based and like a challenge then no. Updates might've made it better dunno. Game was too easy all around and relaxed. Any garbage build was viable. If you like turn based but want more challenge or fun I'd go roguetrader. Bg3 looks good runs well enough on modest hardware. Roguetrader less eye candy more soul more builds better lore. I beat bg3 in act 2 on my first play on tactician. I had to go out of my way to get to act 3 and play it on rails the second time. It's a very good entry level game for folks into DND and the genre though. You can't go wrong with it however again very cheesey bad writing forced gay stuff and too easy.
Is OP being genuine or is he just trying to stir shit for attention and start a flame war?
Ganker is the last place you want to ask about whether you should play a game. You might think that people here just "Tell it like it is" but in reality most people here are spergs who will shun a game over one line of dialogue they deem political.
I'm the OP, I was genuinely just looking for opinions but apparently everyone wants to fight over it now.
I hate to appeal to authority but it won tons of awards including every single organization's GOTY as well as being a 10/10 on almost every site, on top of being universally praised outside of here. Theres a very low chance a game like that would be outright bad, and you would probably know if you liked it within the 2 hour refund window anyway.
the problem I have with that logic no offense is so did Starfield it got a ton of praise wasn't very fun in the long run
that's why bethesda is confused about the reception of starfield, it's the perfect journalist bait. Tons of front ended features with zero depth and open world
Starfield won no awards, and is generally widely disliked and negatively reviewed outside of "professional" review sites which are unironically paid off.
I'm saying there was enough "praise" for it on regular game sites to make people think it was worth getting.
A lot of people bought Starfield simply because they had blind trust in Bethesda, not because of review sites. Oblivion and Skyrim are great games. A normal person would 'assume' Starfield would be too.
How? Did Fallout 76, Fallout 4 not exist for those people?
Fallout 4 was "good enough" and 76 was an off shoot online MMO.
You have to remember that many of these "people" are sub-80 IQ and literally cannot make inferences based on past evidence. We are dealing with literal NPCs.
Look at how many people are shocked to find out that the jab did nothing to help and has a long list of awful side effects. They literally lack the brainpower to understand that there were people who were able to look at the evidence and predict all of that before it was announced by the authorities. And they still regard those people as "conspiracy theorists" because to them, the jab was perfectly safe (because the media said so) until it wasn't (because the media said so). To them, it's impossible to disagree with authority, so anyone who does so must be insane and/or lying.
The same applies to BG3. Doritos Pope and his friends said that BG3 is good so that means it must be good. They previously said Starfield would be good so Starfield was good up until they said it wasn't. The very idea of being able to predict that a game will be bad because the last games that the same studio made were bad requires far too much brainpower for them. When TES6 is announced they will remember their disappointment with Starfield, but their brains will not make the connections that are required to learn from experience. Their submission to perceived authority outweighs anything else.
I thought bg3 was to entry level babys first crpg. Starfield had a couple interesting ideas ran like crap and was awful with the ng plus ultra. Companions were terrible. Bg3 was a more solid product imo. Mods are what kept me from uninstalling starfield on the first couple of days.
Yeah Starfield companions are something else...that's for true
BG3 is literally reskinned DOS 2 with as many shit features and gimmicks included as possible to bait journalists into thinking it's a good game
its DOS2 with homosexualry propaganda cranked up to 11.
Is RNG reliant, so, to me it's trash.
overhyped turd
i've spent 30 hours in this "game" and it's a boring book for redditgays
Elden Ring did items better. I feel like BG3 needs more items.
>pop in to these threads every once in a while
>ask all these seething anons to point out where the game forces you to be/like gay or troony shit
>no responses every time
and I shall do it again
Gey wizard almost got me but I saw where that shit was going
I kill him every time because I play durge, it's funny, and he's basically a fricking redditor. Wyll is boring but at least he's not annoying like Gale. The rest are cool.
Funny that you mention it but I am on my 4th and I killed him every time. Didn't even notice. Can you blow him up?
Gale's not gay, he fricked a goddess.
>"this game is shit and filled with homosexualry and cuck fetish garbage"
>"AHA BUT DOES IT FORCE YOUR PC TO BE GAY? THOUGHT NOT, CHECKMATE CHUDS"
Show me 5 examples of cuckoldry present in the game. I'll wait
>Shadowheart cucks you with Halsin
>Shadowheart and Lae'zel cuck you with the other (confirmed by writer)
>same with Karlach and Wyll
that's five total possibilities just with the main companions
Shadowheart has sex with Halsin (or anyone else, for that matter) only if you yourself tell her you're open to the idea and then additionally pursue her doing these things. That you can't even understand this tells me you haven't played the game and are regurgitating boring talking points you've copy pasted and don't understand.
Thanks for playing. Maybe next time you can actually give me examples.
>ask for examples of cuckoldry
>get examples of cuckoldry
>"NOOOOOO THAT ONE DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE UHHHH YOU DON'T SEE IT IF YOU JUST IGNORE THIS LOCATION AND COVER YOUR EARS"
I accept your concession.
I asked you for examples and then directly refuted them. I'm (not) sorry that offended you, maybe if you didn't want to be so angry you'd provide a solid argument. Like I said, maybe next time
>"meet my arbitrary goalpost of five examples of cucking"
>"ok here"
>"NOOOOO THAT DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE OF RULES THAT I JUST MADE UP NOW"
why are leftoids like this?
>rules I made up just now
Or maybe I just used the dictionary definition of cuckoldry and explaining to you how inviting your partner to be in an open relationship with you isn't that? You're free to continue having a meltdown thought, if that's not satisfactory for your little brain. It's really funny to watch
>arbitrary goalpost
holy melty
bro, this site has damaged your brain
>arbitrary goalpost of five examples of cucking
Black person you are the one who said the game is "full of" cuck fetish shit lmfao. Holy frick watching you people seethe is amazing
> Analysis paralysis: the game
If you're not into games where mechanics are described, but not explained and you have to recombine them into a solution, then experience will be straight up unpleasant. Because there is no difficulty curve in this game, it's either you do the right thing and you proceed with gameplay loops (battles mostly), or you do not do the right thing and you get filtered. And then you end up second guessing your decisions, trying to understand what did you do wrong and how should you avoid it.
you could just say "the game is poorly designed and full of features that don't work"
I wanted to be more precise. It was exactly my experience. I call this "minefield freedom". You are free to act the way you like... but remember you are on a fricking minefield.
The features themselves kinda work, that's not something I had problem with. It's just that it has a lot of mechanics which are merely described, but never explained. So you end up with a lot of descriptive information, but nothing that is actually useful in combat (and this is a combat-oriented game). So you end up endlessly going through your memory trying to recall which item you should use with which tactic, recombining them and trying to imagine them in all possible scenarios until you are tired. And when you are tired, you lose all interest in the game and you quit.
Sure, you can just cheese or power through game, but then what's the point of it all? Aren't you supposed to play like some 4d-chess master?
>Sure, you can just cheese or power through game, but then what's the point of it all?
that's a larian game for you
Honestly, no. I had the same experience with any other RPG and RTS game.
Every RPG you've ever played has confounded you with useless features? Have you only played games released in the last 5 years?
My first RPG game wad Dragon Age: Origins. Same thing: describe features, not explain them. And whenever I read a description of an item or a spell I only end up asking: "So what?".
dragon age origins is an extremely dumbed down action game in the style of a CRPG anon, with no feature bloat. Compared to modern trash like BG3 zoomers would call it featureless
that's litterally any dnd based rpg because balancing all those classes and all possible multiclass permutations in combination with tons of items and mechanics is just impossible
i've yet to play a rpg where it wasnt possible to become op as frick
I'd say you can either be creative or efficient. I don't have any experience with these types of games and in my first run through I didn't experience the issues you were having. All the potions, elixirs, arrows, bombs, and other such items except maybe a few single use ones are vague on what they do. When it comes to buffs, debuffs, spell effects, they're all pretty self explanatory as well, in my opinion. You either get a boost towards something like bonus fire damage or a resistance or it'll give a debuff to enemies to their resistances or actions. I feel like you're just overcomplicating yourself. The mechanics in this game are standard RPG ones in my opinion and it all depends if you want to creative with the encounters or be efficient.
They are self-descriptory, not self-explanatory. That's my problem. "Item X gives boost to Y if Z" So what?
"Spell A makes N damage of type B; the save-throw is C" So what? How do I turn this information into a solution for a combat?
well larian is a bit moronic and thinks their spells need to combine to do things, couple that with the intrinsic frickery that is spell descriptions and you've got a clusterfrick of information
the only crpg I've seen that describe basically everything you would possibly need to know about a spell is pillars of eternity
Pillars of eternity was just too boring. Played it for an hour and dropped it. Partly because I got filtered hard.
It's not any more boring than a larian game. The only possible thing I can think of that BG3 has could entertain zoomers is the terrible cutscenes
Holy shit get better taste
Hello? Larian games have never been considered good. Combat wise DOS 2 was far behind pillars and all BG3 is is modded DOS 2
Larian games (at least since OS1) are great. Pillars is RTwP trash.
Eric is that you?
Your shit taste isn’t an argument. Stay in school silly baby. Perhaps develop some taste other than shit.
Turning the spreadsheet simulator genre into a fun game can absolutely be considered good.
can you actually describe specifically what's fun about larian games
Ah okay, honestly, man. It seems like user issue. You're overthinking stuff way too hard for mechanics that essentially come down to finishing an enemy a move or two quicker. I don't have that hang up because I'm pretty straightforward. I fight undead, I'm using turn undead, radiant, fire damage. If I'm fighting melee enemies I'll quickly put blade ward on my guys, or if I'm fighting spellcasters I'll blind or silence them. If I get the drop on them I'll position myself and set traps, stuff like that. I don't worry myself too hard about having the right buff or examining the fight in a hundred different ways and not actually enjoy the fight.
I understand what you mean. But is this supposed to be this way? They give you scissors - you give them stone, they give you stone - you give them paper and that's it? What about muh tactics? Muh 4d-chess superiour thinking those stoopid zoomies are incapable of? Muh oldschool hardcore gaem 4 1337 gamerz? I just feel like I'm playing this game the wrong way. As if I learn nothing and if a real challenge comes up, I'll be worthless against it. I like learning in videogames, figuring out clever ways and tactics.
The latter.
It’s fricking excellent. A BEAUTIFUL game
Act 1 is pretty good.
Everything goes downhill after, if you are patient wait to buy it when it goes on a bigger sale and Larian delivers the definitive edition.
The narration and visualized dice rolls break the immersion for me. If I wanted to play a table top, I would play an actual table top game
Haven't played it, won't play it. Too astroturfed.
Any tips on how to poison the goblin's alcohol?
The Druid you talk to when you are trying to figure out how to cure the tadpole at the grove gives you Wyvern Poison, use that
i have that, but the punch bowl is guarded
You can tell you're dealing with a juggernaut at debate when they resort to all caps I AM SILLY greentext strawmen.
>get game for christmas
>literally nothing Ganker has complained about is worth noting
>only annoyance is RNG and save scumming
>haven’t been solicited sex by every man
>haven’t seen a single bear sex scene
>haven’t seen a single “troony”
happens every game lol
>save scumming
You may want to devote one of Shadowheart's spellslots to Enhance Ability. It's really good and gives you advantage on almost every check.
But at least it had funny banter between characters. Did not like the gameplay, but all of Morrigan was worth making it to the end. Although, I cheated at around a half of the game.
buy a good game instead
Sure Todd, I am certainly buying Dragon's Dogma 2.
but i already own disco elysium
>hate older games of same genre
>love this one
If only the unrealistic amount of homosexuals and le strong female leaders didn't demolish my immersion.
if you want to play a better crgp then it's dragon age origins. however balur gate 3 is also pretty good but the forced goyslop gay Black person propoganda killed the vibe for me. I'm ok if anons who plays this game likes to suck wiener but when I want to play a game as a straight character i don't want some NPC to shove his wiener in me. Also after act 2 the game flops hard.
>if you want to play a better crgp then it's dragon age
lol no
frick off tronny . The dragon age origin game is good. even larian crgp and many other modern crgp games were inspired from it.
You're one stupid motherfricker, anon. Shame on you and your shit taste
Is the sex like maxing out an S-link in persona that you can get only once or can you repeatedly bang your waifu?
>muh eric
Of course it's a fricking asshurt nintendo fanboy shitting up these threads
Act 1: 9/10 (they released this more than 3 years ago)
Act 2: 8/10
Act 3: 6/10
Also, pretty shitty ending for an RPG.
This is correct and anyone who disagrees is moronic.
>Act 1: 9/10
>90% of it is pointless side hustles and a shit story about druids and tieflings
really homie?
It has a very large amount of content that is also quite reactive to your decisions, was very technically sound, and gives a good impression that your choices will resound further into the game. Of course that doesn't really happen; I realized when you couldn't even side with Ketheric at all at the end of Act 2 that Act 3 would be a very railroaded boss rush.
>content bloat makes the beginning of the game nearly perfect
LMAO
>content bloat
What did you consider not bloat?
Front loading a game is literally bloat, it's not a good thing. Rating game nearly perfect because it's front loaded with pointless content is a hilariously bad take
>rating game nearly perfect
Overall I'd give it a 7/10, I split up my scores by the acts. Regardless, you clearly have no idea what you even mean by bloat. The content in the first act of the game is solid, don't want to say well written but it still holds up better than later on, and allows the player to have clear impact on the game world at multiple points as a good RPG should. The bigger thing here is that they had 3+ years to add onto Act 1 and refine its content with an active playerbase, so I don't think the glowing praise for it is valid because of that in the first place.
You're sort of right to varying degrees. BG3 really nosedives quite hard though.
>you clearly have no idea what you even mean by bloat
I clearly state front loading a game is bloat
cope moron
Not really.
to be fair this is literally every western rpg ever made. even deus ex the holy grail of the wrpg fan becomes increasingly linear as the game goes on until it ends on one of the most pure examples of the ending vending machine where it turns out literally none of your choices matter outside of what button you pick in this empty room you've found yourself in
deus ex isn't praised because of its non-linearity though?
being able to handle situations in whatever way you want is the defining creation myth of what makes an 'immersive sim', whatever the frick that means
"immersive sim" is having a game that has a lot of features that actually work. something modern games wish they were capable of
>Also, pretty shitty ending for an RPG.
Maybe pre-epilogue update you would've had a point, but ever since the Withers party got added BG3 has a perfect ending for everyone imo
My character married Shadowheart and became Baldurian nobility, they still go on adventures together.
Astarion is free and became an adventurer and monster hunter. Remarking that people don't really seem to care if he feeds on people when those people are buttholes and murderers
Wyll and Karlach teamed up together and returned to Avernus, they have a hopeful lead to fix Karlach's hellfire engine
Lae'zel inherited Orpheus' dragon and his will. She's making strides in her fight to rebel against Vlakith
Gale straight up became a god
Jaheira and Minsc are still just doing their thing.
All and all very satisfying book ends that still leave possibilities for future developments. It's exactly the same kind of endings you gets in a real dnd campaign
You cannot even fix Karlach. Dropped game.
The epilogue update does not carry the whole shitty game, no
The game is amazing, what are you on about
>the epilogue update saved the game
>the game didn't need saving
way to instantly invalidate whatever point you were attempting to make
I didn't say the game needed saving, nor that the epilogue update saved the game. Only that anon may have had a point about the ending being bad before the epilogue ending.
Of course they'd riddle it with fanservice, anon. the player character is an extension of yourself and these are your character's friends and comrades. Do you seriously want to hear shit like "oh after you saved the city Shadowheart became a crackprostitute and Halsin killed himself"
Get over yourself, man. For real
>the game needs saving
>if the game gets updated then it's shit
Your point is moronic.
Gale God ending isn't "good"
The good ending for him is where he becomes a teacher
Of course they riddled the epilogue with cheap fan service. This is kind of nice if you're a really invested autist but the ending of the game itself is still the exact same thing every time and can't be achieved in any other way, it's ME3 with one of the 3 ending choices removed.
>but the ending of the game itself is still the exact same thing every time and can't be achieved in any other way, it's ME3 with one of the 3 ending choices removed.
Proof?
Buy it on GOG and then refund if you don't like it you have 90 days. That's what I did but I started loving the game and didn't refund. I like Larian for giving a shit.
no
