How can a Studio fall so low? They created one of the best RPGs in the early 2000s, and one of the most woke and terrible RPG in 202X.
>2000: among the top 100 best games
>2024: the first game ever to win all 5 major GOTYs in one of the strongest years in gaming history
that's a massive upgrade, no amount of contrarianism will change that
have a nice day you moronic lgbt Black person, downgrade from BG2 in every single way
you mean another game you didn't play?
I love BG3 but the last year was crap. Remakes, sequel and slop.
It didn't win my goty award, which is so exclusive that I have never awarded any game with it.
So they can still improve
>one of the strongest years in gaming history
>Alan Wake 2 showing up on ever nom
>didn't even sell a million copies
>but trust me BG3 was a hit
>didn't even sell a million copies
BG3 sold 15 million copies.
wishful thinking
>How can a Studio fall so low?
Obvious
I'm actually disappointed in you Ganker. You're normally better than this.
Fake hype fake awards West Taiwanese Scam
Seethe chang
Don't care about BG3 because the "lizard" there is fricking trash
New Divinity when
BG3 is the best CRPG ever made and you will seethe till the day you die.
DOS2 is better
homie they released beyond divinity right after divine divinity
everything after that is a massive step up
>oh man, they created one of the most highly rated, most talked about and best game in the history
>really, can you fall any lower than that?
I know this thread is just bait, but I seriously hope all contrarians fricking kill themselves in some painful way.
>everyone with a different opinion than mine must be baiting
brainlet take
You don't have an opinion that matters.
You're being replaced for a reason. Touch grass, pencil-dick.
lmao - ywnbaw
>more buzzwords as "arguments"
I accept your concession.
You don't have an opinion. You're screaming WOKE WOKE WOKE into the air. This is literal downie behavior, and we definitely hold the opinions of downies in very high regard.
Who is we? Speak for yourself only and stop presuming, chud.
>one of the best RPGs in the early 2000s,
lol wut have you actually played that shit?
yes. have you?
what didn't you like about it?
>DivDiv
>one of the best
Unfounded claim.
How is it unfounded when I found it right here?
I liked DOS2. It was really good. Still not going back and playing 1
same and same
This isn't about the DoS bullshit games which are just as bad as BG3. It's about the OG game, moron.
The og soundtrack is surprisingly good
I liked DD (somewhat, it had neat ideas but actually wasn't that great), Div2, DOS, and DOS2, but will not touch BG3 with a ten-foot pole.
They were already putting up red flags during EA when they started pandering hard to the datesim normalgays and delayed it indefinitely instead of having an actual schedule. The fact that they desecrated an old IP with this mess doesn't help. Then the standard male/female selection nobody would actually complain about gets changed to pronoun shit, and on release you get dude nudity lmao for no reason. Anyone who bought the game before release (however moronic they were to do that) should be legible for a full refund whenever.
I don't care if the actual gameplay is still likely good thanks to the original devs and definitely not the hundreds of moronic new hires; my desire to even check it out is completely gone.
*eligible
you'd probably really enjoy it
>delayed it indefinitely instead of having an actual schedule
>"noo, you can't release a game early, it will be incomplete!!"
>"noo, you can't delay the game, I need the game NOW!!"
moron
>they started pandering hard to the datesim normalgays
All you've seen about this game is based off of bullshit you read on Ganker. Romance is a big part of the game as it was in BG2, means it's like 0.01% of the game, because you likely haven't played BG2.
>dude nudity lmao for no reason
What a weird thing to dismiss a great game on.
>I don't care if the actual gameplay is still likely good
And the fricking mask falls right off. Don't care about the gameplay, I just want to be outraged at made up shit and do the old=good, new=bad larp.
The absolute state of (You).
>noo, you can't release a game early, it will be incomplete!!
Yeah so just release it late but still incomplete, that's great.
Right-wing people are strange.
Even if you personally don't like a game, doesn't mean it is bad. I personally don't like Souls-games are fun, but I would be insane to call DS or ER terrible games because of that.
This isn't about right wing, this is is about extreme views. Extreme right or extreme left cultists are equally illogical and brainwashed.
I just see majority of Ganker shit on BG3 on release, and Ganker is a right-wing board afterall. Anons even tried to get it banned in some country, Germany or Belgium if I remember right. Ganker in general shits on good games for political reasons all the time. Be it Mario or Zelda wearing feminine clothes or character creator having A/B bodytype/style stuff
Frick off troony avatar poster.
Wtf I just like posting cute girls. Oh right, even cute girls and anime is woke and leftoid stuff these days. Doesn't surprise me you go to moronic insults when someone instantly doesn't agree with you and dares to criticize right in any shape or form.
Shit thread. I'm gonna go play DQ
Understandable, but Ganker is just extreme right. The extreme left journalists, reddit, resetera and whatever are doing the exact same thing, shitting on a game which is considered "le right wing" just on principle. Nothing ever changes with extreme views.
How do I get rid of anal skin tags?
wrong thread?
Get the doctor to burn them off with liquid nitrogen
Haven't played BG3 but what was in it that mindbroke OP so bad into thinking that Divinity (the shitty) 1 is anything above mediocre?
It's old, so it automatically has to be good
Old things are always better compared to the current standards. It's a universal rule whether it be movies, music, games or culture. Reject post-modernism.
This is Ganker, not /misc/, you won't get points for your epic tradlarping.
Aside from that, really, try to be less of a jaded little homosexual. You'll see that life can be anything other than loneliness, sadness and anger.
Why are you replying to me? Your reply has nothing to do with my comment. Post-Modernism is cancer. Simple as that.
So you admit it's contrarianism just for the sake of contrarianism?
Lmao.
Why do you think Bubsy 3D and Action 52 are better than Elder Ring and Noita?
i don't think thinking is for stupid leftwingers
He's just being a contrarian troll. Like most of Ganker. Nobody thinks Divinity 1 is one of the best games ever made. That's why whenever people talk about Larian's prior great games they always talk about divity 2 and not 1.
Their next game won't be as pozzed since it won't be be a dnd game, have some faith.
name me a single good space rpg.
kotor 1 and 2, the 40k one lol? why do fantasy gays always have to do this. every single time they build up a good catalog of fantasy games and then shit the bed with scifi. you ever noticed how every good scifi universe is just fantasy with magic and knights pretending to be scifi? it has to be because if you don't make up space magic and reasons why not everyone would use a gun the sandbox of tools would be empty. star wars and 40k both do this
>name me a single good space rpg.
>kotor 1 and 2,
You did it for me
millions of rpgs. only 2 decent ones that cover the ever-expanding setting that is literal all of space, and ones a sequel of the other. not a good look. incoming stinker starfield 2.0 inbound
Swen thinks that it's already better than BG3 and judging by how shit DND 5E is, I trust him.
Colony Ship: A Post Earth RPG is a recent one I quite enjoyed. Granted, you aren't really exploring space, but the inside of a transport ship in transit.
>Colony Ship: A Post Earth RPG
WTF this looks good. How have i never heard of this game?
Mass Effect 1
It has space magic but no knights or melee weapons (at least until the third game...) and is relatively grounded compared to the stuff you mentioned.
I really enjoyed rogue trader
Star Control
Mass Effect (that is literally Star Control for dudebros).
Common Swen W
DOS2 didn't have BG3's budget and BG3 didn't have DOS2's Larian charm, the space game will be kino, 100%.
right looks like it is those mobile games ads
You fricking morons. This is about DIVINE DIVINITY, not DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN. No wonder you love your cuck shit BG3, you can't even read or even know that DIVINE DIVINITY exists because you are all lgbtq zoomers pozzed to the max.
There are like 10 people who played Divine Divinity, grandpa.
>There are like 10 people who played Divine Divinity
And they are all awesome people.
don't pretend like divinite divinity was good
larian games before dos were ass
divinity 2 was the least jank at it was still shit
>don't pretend like divinite divinity was good
I am playing it right now (99 cents on GOG). It's good. No handholding, gameplay a mix between Baldurs Gate and Diablo. No very far in the game to be fair, but i tend to keep on playing it.
FROM THIS
Witcher 3 sucked though
TO THIS
Why are they all wamen?
Diversity
Not very diverse, isn't it?
Its a photo that was taken on Women's day when all the women in the studio were celebrating, since then the photo is being used to push the narrative that they have "le fallen" lol and that now its all women there which is obviously false.
fpbp
Another dead giveaway is that major AAA studios are employing hundreds and hundreds of people at once to sustain these giant games. There's like 60 or 70 women in that picture, if that's all the women at the company that isn't actually a lot.
Reminder that people who left during Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk development are now working on a vampire RPG
Source?
Google Rebel Wolves (their studio name)
They game's codename is Dawnwalker
And it's not the only strudio that has ex-CDPR devs, many left after or during the Witcher 3. For example, some worked on Ruiner and Ghostrunner 1 and 2
This is why you always follow the people, not the studios.
It does sound interesting. Did any of the devs work on Blood and Wine? Because playing that made me desperately want a CDPR vampire game
I dunno but you could compare credits with the website listing
>ugh I miss when this dev wasn't on Ganker's radar now I have to hate them or anonymous people will make fun of me
I think the massive piles of money they made off BG3 will help them sleep at night
I still don't understand how can you call BG3 woke. If there's an NPC that doesn't fit your views - whatever those might be - you just right click and attack it, which is much more than other games offer as a solution to that problem
Bex is a political extremist
Bex sex
morons need their daily (hourly) dose of seethe. Add contrarianism to the mix and here you go - hordes of brown seething politically obsessed moronic tourists makings any discussion void and nil.
>i didn't like dos 1
>i didn't like dos 2
>somewhat dislike larian games
>bg3 comes out
>suprise suprise its divinity original sin but with baldurs gate slapped on top
>i obviously dislike it
>morons: heh you are just le Ganker contrarian
funny how that works
I mean you could also just have shit taste
please include that option next time you post about Ganker contrarian boogeyman
im not surprised
im just showing you the error of your ways
>board full of contrarians
>post an opinion widely considered as contrarian
>surprised that you've been bunched with the rest of the contrarians
There are two kinds of gamers
Those who think DOS2 is the best cRPG ever
Those who think BG3 is the best cRPG ever
Everyone else is a tastelet
>created one of the best RPGs in the late 2000s
ftfy
Now THAT was an unfinished game
I think they got incredibly lazy and uninspired, and they wanted to appeal to the lowest common denominator. They probably thought that they needed to make way more money in order to fund their next pet project so they just decided to do the most generic shit ever while glazing the trans and homosexual community to basically make the most shameless product that would pander to as many people as possible while offending as few as possible and also be super fotm.
Ketheric isnt the final boss moron
Did you even play the game
Dont straw man, the comparison is clearly with the exactly identical costume design.
>make the most shameless product that would pander to as many people as possible while offending as few as possible and also be super fotm.
Literally Witcher 3
Which is probably why they decided to copy witcher 3, because they wanted that exact same appeal.
Show me one other character with the specific combination of white hair, green eyes, mascara dripping down the face, and a facial scar. Show me just one. I know you cant but it’s hilarious watching you kvetch this hard. They even had to add in that fricking facial scar just to drive the point home.
>mascara dripping down the face
This fricking Black person thinks witcher invented girls crying and their makeup being washed out from tears
AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
Couldnt even show one example, LOL. Just one example and you couldnt even do it. You dumb mother fricker. HAHAHAHAHA
>kvetch
kys zionist dog
>attractive girl with eye makeup?
>well, witcher invented that
>skeleton-styled armour?
>of course, witcher invented that
>cold, heartless warriors?
>you've got it, it's only witcher again
KEK
fricking delusional
I think Divine Divinity wasn't that great, weirdest balancing of the enemies that suddenly one-hit your dude when you've been cutting some down like lawn. It's just a subpar Diablo, but still an ok game. Newer titles of the studio I haven't played.
it's not even a diablo clone even though those belgiumese Black folk advertised it as such back then.
It's just sad how much of a downgrade from Divinity Original Sin, BG3 was. Yet it takes all the normie attention simply because it is tied to a moronic mutt IP.
DoS 2 was easily their best game.... not only are you a boomer homosexual but you are also a contrarian Black person... literally the worst of both worlds.
Neo-Ganker still cannot explain what's actually "extremely woke" about Baldur's Gate 3 besides degenerate sex/porn content (as if that's somehow woke), and if you're anti-porn Ganker's the last website you should be posting on anyways.
It's like Ganker's become a bizarro world version of itself filled with puritan prudes when a 15 years ago you were always 3 clicks away from viewing e-girl futanari nipple fricking
Isn't there a troony necromancer in the game and a bunch of gay gnomes? Also tiefling refugees seem to be an obvious allegory to real life stuff.
I think the game is obviously woke but its not the bad kind of woke because its not directly trying to push a political message. In a lot of other media they make it so obvious it becomes annoying.
Yeah it's the subtle brainwashing kind of woke where every "normal" character is a dyke
>Isn't there a troony necromancer in the game
Yes, but it's a masculine stereotype of a troony with a male voice who works in a circus and looks like a clown.
CRPGs have had casts being "playersexual" regardless of the player's gender for almost 30 years.
All you're saying is it's okay for bg3 to be shit which isn't a good argument
Why is it okay when Baldur's Gate 1 does it?
>you can permanently turn yourself into a woman with a spell in BG3's world
why doesn't the necrotroony do this?
If I recall it's a drag queen rather than a legit troony
Again all you're saying is it's okay that bg3 is shit
>all you're saying is it's okay that bg3 is shit
Nobody said this.
You are literally doing nothing but apologizing for bg3 being shit
Will the Girdle of Femininity make a return in Baldur's Gate 4? It's been missing since BG1
you can kill the refugees and every gay character you come across
how is that woke?
Why are there real life analogs of the modern manufactured refugee illegal alien crisis? Aren't games supposed to be about escape?
Also why is it evil to not support them?
Their city literally fell into one of the hells. I don't really see how it's in any way representative ">modern manufactured refugee illegal alien crisis", but then again I don't have a /misc/tard mindest like you seem to.
>Also why is it evil to not support them?
It's neutral to not support them, not evil. Siding with goblins and slaughtering unarmed innocents is.
Okay so it's literal modern real life political propaganda that
You got so mad at your imagination you forgot to write the rest of your post?
refugee populations have been a thing for thousands of years and i guarantee you cant find a single fantasy story that doesn't have real world analogues
just because you read on /misc/ everyday about a border crisis in america doesn't mean the game is woke, grow up
>it's okay that the shitty game has real life propaganda in it because I agree with it
lol
>no argument
yawn
just because refugee plots have been a thing in the past does not mean that there is no way for a refugee plot to be "woke"
Oh the troony knows. It says blatantly incorrect shit for attention. That said an actual troony is so deluded they actually believe their own front hole gas
>age old fantasy trope where settlement gets destroyed, survivors flee and face adversity from those skeptical of outsiders is somehow real life politics despite even Tolkien playing on this trope
Is suikoden woke/modern politics now?
Are we back to damage controlling for BG3 being shit? Because overtly supporting socialist/communist propaganda in the game is bad
Why are you like this?
I like watching shitposters get on increasingly perilous soapboxes to bump their threads for shitty games
so real life propaganda is good because you agree with it, good. That means the game is trash propaganda. Probably because the game aspect is so weak
BROKE
>it's propaganda because it depicts stuff I don't like
you are precisely what you complain about
>It's not propaganda because I agree with the propaganda, open your boarders chud
are you an actual troony? because this is pathetic
>it's not propaganda because I agree with the propaganda
this is literally the standard you uphold for the slop you like
>It's okay that BG3 is socialist propaganda because...
you're STILL apologizing for the game being shit
Nope, don't even like the game, just telling you you're a blind moron that thinks everything he doesn't like is propaganda and everything he likes is naturalist truthsaying
you are a dumb motherfricker with nothing smart to say
>NO
cope, not an argument
You don't even have an argument. You lost. Ganker won.
You're not Ganker, you're a loser in a basement that posts here for attention. You have no possible way to argue BG3 is a good game
Why is it okay with Forgotten Realms/D&D to have refugee plot points for literal decades, but it's suddenly an issue when Baldur's Gate 3, in the same universe, does these things?
Why don't people go after Xenoblade 2 for literally having the same fricking refugee dilemma and plot elements? (High civilization takes in war refugees, war refugees refuse to work or adapt to their host's and turn a huge swarth of the host's city into a slum, and then start protesting that they're being oppressed when the host bends over backwards for them)?
How does that change anything?
If there was a game that directly told you
>trump bad
I don't think it would change anything whether I could join trump or not. The game still tries to push a woke message.
>actually "extremely woke
Like every companion is up for gay sex. Massive overrepresentation of gays.
CRPGs have had playersexual party companions for decades. And?
No, old games didn't have entire male cast down to butt fricking.
Plenty did, but genuine question though. How are you getting into situations in BG3 where you're constantly getting into gay buttsex scenarios?
Do you deliberately look for gay sex and then get angry when the game gives you gay sex?
don't care still pre-ordering larian's space game

Downvoted
Why do Lariangays keep falling for such blatant bait
The current fotm is stellar Blade, please Go shitpost about that game
Baldur's Gate 3 has been flavor of the month every month for the past half an year anon.
And? Not any more people are actually playing it
I am playing it right now.
What class should I play in Divine Divinity? What's most fun for a single player? This game is a Diablo-like right? Any tips?
I quit Divine Divinity after the graphics just plain broke for no reason. A reinstall would have probably fixed it but it really wasn't worth it. I don't want to see a steel skeleton ever again.
How does one gaslight themselves this hard into believing that BG3 was bad?
These creatures have over 4 years of practice doing just that since the announcement all the way back in June 2019. It's something you will never understand
I like most Larian games. I don't see the problem.
Was there ever a successful game that made Ganker seethe this much?
BG3 is a good game because I enjoyed playing it
This but unironically. I have excellent taste in videogames.
Him singing his Boss theme duing his Boss fight was kino.
BG3 was pretty fun but I'm really waiting for Dragon Commander 2.
heh
>muh woke
Yawn... get some better buzzwords you low iq Black person.
I want Divinity 3.
Not Original Sin, but like, the action RPG Divinity.
