If we're in a golden age of anything, it's remakes. You could argue boomer shooters too. Even if they did cite other RPG's in the article, it's a clickbait title.
>You could argue boomer shooters too.
Shooters unironically are in their golden age. They have become a staple of indie while keeping a stake in AAA field, they are plentiful, and they draw from 30 years of community experience. Yeah, pixel stylization can get stale, but i will take "too many indie shooters" over the opposite any day of the week.
I think shooters are in their all time low.
Every new release is a failure ir a lukewarm reception. People are playing the same stuff from 20 years ago. A golden age would have new titles banging left and right and being praised to hell and back.
Im not a shooter guy but returnal was great. I also played cod Cold War recently (own it for zombies, didn’t play much as they sort of fricked it up) and the campaign surprised the frick out of me for being actually good.
The actual golden age of shooters was probably the Halo 2/3 glory days, but they’re doing better right now than they have in a decade, in my limited experience.
Yeah cause Skyrim at least have a physic engine to create organic interactions with the world and not "we coded this line and this spell to run that cinematic" all over the place

This is how it is for most games. Most people's attention spans are just fricking fried. A game like BG3 is way too long for the typical normgroid. Especially considering that some of the quests aren't clear about where exactly you need to go like most normgroid games
Exactly my point
The fact that half a million people manage to have almost the exact same schedule for a week is completely fricked. It's hard enough to get 20 people's schedules to match up for an MMO raid.

Just use your head for more than half a second jfc. It's not the same people playing day in and day out. It just happens that most people have similar schedules (9-5 jobs) so the activity graphs spike at certain times.

So let's say it's about a million people, all across the world, with similar enough schedules to make the graph look identical for several days in a row.
That's even more improbable don't you think?
The amount of people went up over the weekend, but the graph form looks the same somehow even without the 9-5 job getting in the way? The more people try to defend this the more suspicious it becomes. Do the pattern stay the same like this for other games too? Do you have any examples?

Any game with an active playerbase has a similar looking graph with player counts going up and down at the same time for weeks. BG3 is at the top of its hype cycle, but it'll go down eventually. There's nothing suspicious about it, it's always been that way.

That graph doesn't look like it's been copypasted 7 times though, peak times are to be expected but the falloff and climbs aren't identical for days in a row like everyone is playing on a schedule even on the weekends.

Neither does the BG3 graph, there's very obvious day-to-day variances, but the pattern is clear.
Here's the graph for Skyrim. Bet you'll be talking about Bethesda botting 10+ year old game now too.

That graph is basically identical to the BG3 one which makes it look even more suspicious. What kind of schedule are these people on? How can the graph be THAT consistent a decade after release? New games I get you want to complete ASAP to not get spoiled but how can Skyrim have such a dedicated playerbase to keep the graph that steady?

If the BG3 graph is fake, so is every other graph. Here's GTAV. You'll see pretty much the same thing when it comes to games with active playerbases. If you don't trust Steamcharts you can track these numbers by using the counter on the game's Steamcommunity page, but you'll get the same thing there. If there are data errors, then it comes from Steam.
That said if you consider that most people have 9-5 jobs (which is consistent), and that these jobs are spread over different timezones which means that there will be certain hours where different timezones overlap, it makes perfect sense that will be peaks and lows at specific times (people playing before/after their work vs people being at work and sleeping).

That graph is the most unbelievable of them all, but iirc doesn't GTA5 have a botting thing going on with the online? Might explain why in that case. I think it was Lost Ark who had a hilariously weird graph due to all the botting going on.
But yeah I'm not doubting the waveform with ups and downs, that makes sense, it's the sheer consistency of it.

So here's another chart, which is hourly posts on Ganker. This trend isn't limited to video games, and it's just a matter of popular things being popular consistently.
I think a big problem with the steamcharts graph is the scale. It's squashed, so you don't really see the difference in the peaks/lows as well as you would in a proper graph. In the GTAV example the difference in peaks is roughly ~10k people (if not more) which is is significant but might appear as a mere 3-5px difference. The numbers do seem to be about right though, and even historically if you've ever played a game that published live playercounts (i.e. SC2 used to do it) you would have noticed that in general there are certain consistencies and that you need to look at long time data to make any informed judgement about the trend where the player count is going.
If you still think that there's a conspiracy then be my guest, but the data does seem sound.

Again, I'm not doubting the peaks and valleys, it's how consistent they are. Even that Ganker graph has some variation to it every day but the BG3 one has the exact same pattern every single day with the only thing changing being how many people there are total over the weekend (but it keeps the same shape). It could indeed be a scale issue making it look the same and I hope it is because the alternative is just depressing to think about.
Its okay to shut the frick up when you don't understand something. You don't need to make up a one dimensional conspiracy for everything you don't like. It's destroying your life and relationships and you're capable of so much more than being the loser who claims lots of people playing a huge AAA videogame at primetime is because an evil cabal is trying to trick you.
Checking achievement stats would be a better indicator. One of my friends said the first act was like 30 hours, and currently 23% of Steam players have the achievement (The Plot Thickens) for that.
Please do recommend me some other games that play like DA:O. Only other games I can think of(other than DA:2) are games like Kotor and maybe NWN2 with it's crappy third person camera, but even then I'm pretty sure they are semi-turn based and not real time like in DA:O.

That's half the reason I'm stilling replaying DA:O like once a year. Is it just basic texture/model swaps and some minor skill edits like most games?

It's both. But Action RPG is more common descriptor. Calling it Action Adventure is like calling an ADV like Machi a sound novel; the latter is a marketing word by Chunsoft.

Lmao, nope
BG3 litterally made every other developer shit their pants because it's so feature packed (compared to all the other slop on the market) that now the standard may be set to high for eveey one else to compete.
So, if anything, we live in a israelite Era of gaming in general, so a 2nd game crash is near the corner.
Gollum is the most underrated rpg of 2023 it will be remembered as a masterpiece in ten years and everyone will wonder how us ungrateful smoothbrains could have panned it so easily
The argument is actually stretching from 2011 with Skyrim, going through Witcher 3 in 2015, Elden Ring in 2022 to BG3 in 2023. And how most if not all genres drink from the rpg fountain. So basically, rpg mechanics sell games and those made with big investments are very successful.
No.
Larian CEO isn't solely focused on profits, openly stated as much when asked about Mucrosoft considering buying them, so no we're not because the USA is a diseased corporate dumpster fire with no soul left beyond the indies who are not corporate.

People think Baldur’s Gate 3 is already amazing.
Just wait until Starfield comes out and people start to see Baldur’s Gate 3 as even more amazing than before.
Starfield is going to be the game everyone is going to hate on due to mob mentality because everyone will simultaneously realise all at the same time how SICK they are of this open world cut and paste bullshit they’ve been putting up with for over 10 years.
Starfield is gonna be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. You can only do one thing so many times before interest dwindles. Even Call of Duty fell from grace eventually and has to make big changes to become relevant again.

Back to twitter, X, or whatever it's called you drama queens.
I thought I would like it but I didn't, I didn't realize it until I ran into the chick from Uganda. Then I explored hogsmead for a bit and I started to hate my life, but by then it was too late...
Genuinely good self contained experience. Why are we mad about a game intended to be played, enjoyed, and put away?
It was better than I expected it to be in every way. Better than the unbelievably dull skyrims and mass effects of the world that people somehow rave about
I trust that BG3, Rogue Trader and CP77 DLC will be all good, i mean i'm playing BG3 right now and its amazing. I'm worried about Starfield. Especially after Fallout 76.
>golden age of rpgs
i mean if that mean a movie game "rpg" when you have some gameplay after 30 min of talking and cinematic shoots, yeah sure. If we are talking about a real RPG, no.
There are gacha games with better stories than BG3. People somehow seem to think that lots of text = quality story. What part of the story did you like? The part where you punt a squirrel? Amazing writing, definitely 10/10 worthy.
How about the part where I make fun of my inter-dimensional hot ayylmao amazon gf for not knowing about the local customs of a place she has never visited before?
Well we've known for years now that marketers hang out on Ganker so it's not a conspiracy. If anything the conspiracy is that the shilling is automated rather than being done by a human.
Nah, I havent played any BG game, and if I play one of them, it would never be the 3, that looks like a woke fest, I dont waste my time o gay things.
Also: there are a lot of threads about BG3, but have you seen any game play footage? Because that game is ass, all the threads here are the troony's Gate 3 devs shilling their game here.
>that voice
>Exactly 10 minutes for max algorithm
Probably something silly they drag on for 80% of the video while looping footage.
8 minutes is the new algorithm checkpoint, akshually
Baldur's Gate 3 is like a 6/10. Even assuming what he says is true, what other RPGs have come out that would somehow qualify this as a golden age?

Golden age of RPGs was back in the PS2 era. The schlock coming out nowadays can't even come close to comparing. Just a shill thread.
dark cloud wasnt that good bro its time to put the nostalgia away
I liked SNES era RPGs more but I respect your opinion even if I disagree with it.
Starfield. The RPG to end all RPGs
Nice joke

I thought I would like it but I didn't, I didn't realize it until I ran into the chick from Uganda. Then I explored hogsmead for a bit and I started to hate my life, but by then it was too late...
Genuinely good self contained experience. Why are we mad about a game intended to be played, enjoyed, and put away?
It was better than I expected it to be in every way. Better than the unbelievably dull skyrims and mass effects of the world that people somehow rave about
because its the same as BG3
pozzed trash for goycattle
>Bg3
>Rogue trader
>Starfield
>CP77 dlc
We are eating good this yesr rpgbros
I trust that BG3, Rogue Trader and CP77 DLC will be all good, i mean i'm playing BG3 right now and its amazing. I'm worried about Starfield. Especially after Fallout 76.
>CP77 DLC will be all good
what the frick is wrong with you?
I played Cyberpunk 2077. It's a great game. Currently BG3 and cp77 are some of my favorite games of all time.

>golden age of rpgs
i mean if that mean a movie game "rpg" when you have some gameplay after 30 min of talking and cinematic shoots, yeah sure. If we are talking about a real RPG, no.
The golden age starts with AI, talking to companions directly, AI generated textures and models, animations, voice.
We're close, really close.
These are the last of the hand made RPG titles.
>Is this true?
Yes. BG3, Starfield and Blades of Netheril are proof. I can't HECKIN' wait for Doom if Icewind Dale.
There are gacha games with better stories than BG3. People somehow seem to think that lots of text = quality story. What part of the story did you like? The part where you punt a squirrel? Amazing writing, definitely 10/10 worthy.
How about the part where I make fun of my inter-dimensional hot ayylmao amazon gf for not knowing about the local customs of a place she has never visited before?
>game has gender sliders, full on nudity, modded genitals, pronums and omnigender npc
>this is regarded as the golden age
How are these threads not considered commercial spam? All these OPs are blatantly bots.
>newly released topseller generates a lot of threads
You are fricking moronic, not everything is a conspiracy.
Well we've known for years now that marketers hang out on Ganker so it's not a conspiracy. If anything the conspiracy is that the shilling is automated rather than being done by a human.
>30 threads per day for about a month its not shilling

FRICK OOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFF
?
Wrong thread sorry.
it's alright buddy
Starfield
I isn't out yet, there haven't been any other notable RPG releases this year.
Hogwarts, technically. Rogue trader is coming out as well.
Nah, I havent played any BG game, and if I play one of them, it would never be the 3, that looks like a woke fest, I dont waste my time o gay things.
Also: there are a lot of threads about BG3, but have you seen any game play footage? Because that game is ass, all the threads here are the troony's Gate 3 devs shilling their game here.
Even if BG3 was the best video game to come out to date, I wouldn't go near it just because of how forced everything surrounding it is.
Maybe Remnant 2, assuming you class that as an RPG.
