Let that sink in.
Less than 1/5th of players have completed a quarter of the game.
Kinda makes one think that all the positive reviews might be bots or redditors overhyping the furry bear sex...
Less than 20% of BG3 players have completed Act 1.

I’m at the beginning of shadowlands and it keeps hardcrashing my pc
Daily reminder only 11% of players finished wrath of the righteous after all this time
Normal gays don't finish games, they pick the lastest slop/fotm, play 10 hours and call it a day. Look at steam reviews, you have people giving the game a 10/10 while playing for 5 hours
and 10% Dos 2, your point?
I would love to keep playing but I have no idea why it’s fricking up my PC
Change where you have it installed
I have over 1000h NWN and have never finished the main campaign or the 2 expansions.
Most people play with mods, which disable achievements
>D) Is boring having to slowly jog everywhere
The curse that plagues every (C)RPG
turn down vsync to double buffering instead of triple
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE SHILLS SQUIRM OH MY GOD THIS IS BAD THE GAME IS LITERALLY DYING AND NOW THIS COMES OUT THEY DID NOT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS HOLY FRICK I KNEW WED WIN IN THE END BUT I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE THIS SWEET
meds
But the shills are the ones pretending the game is dead and no one is playing it?
a friend has issues with hard crashing. try playing the game on the other one, whichever you're not using, dx11 or Vulcan. one or the other causes hard crashes for specific hardware setups so that might help as temp fix.
>meanwhile I restarted for the 6th time because I'm an indecisive motherfricker
I restarted for the 6th time because I'm an indecisive motherfricker
I think I literally re-made characters about 8-9 times because I kept being autistic and going again if I made a decision that seemed OOC, or wanted to try another class.
Took me 65 hours just to get out of Act 1 for the first time.
the optimization sucks balls
Why are tendie cultists like this? Tears of the Tendie lost, nobody cares about your $70, now frick off and let adults discuss the REAL GOTY
I'm probably halfway through Act I and I'm not in a hurry as it's not the only game I play.
This.
If after weeks or months it's still 20% players then okay you'd have a point. But in a long game shortly after lunch it's pretty normal.
by dinner it will be more im sure

BG3 SHILLS BTFO HOLY FRICKING SHIT THE GAME IS ALREADY DYING HAHAHAHAHAHAH LMAO THIS IS BAD!
>weekend ends
>less people play
NYYYOOOOOOO
>666k
>dying
Based person with an actual life outside of one game.
>bg players have to force themselves to play that shitty overhyped game as a side-dish to actually fun games
>b-but this doesn't mean it's bad!!
It’s almost like 80% of players got bored once they realized this game is
A) Wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle
B) Combat is utterly broken and flat out doesn’t work with spellcasters in mind
C) Dialogue choices not actually mattering or being mind-bogglingly moronic (ie you can only be virtuous or evil and can’t be neutral especially when a companion attempts to seduce you)
D) Is boring having to slowly jog everywhere
E) 70% of the game is inventory management
Overall the game is no higher than a 6/10 when you think about it.
>D) Is boring having to slowly jog everywhere
one of the worst things, holy shit the playtime gets inflated by movement being so damn slow
and of course it's slow because if you went any faster, the game would absolutely melt
Slowly jogging everywhere provides a sense of scale. Fast-traveling everywhere makes the experience feel arcadey. No thanks
you can keep sense of scale and movement by adding alternative mobility options that cost resources, like rental horses.
B and D are bullshit, the rest is true.
Are you implying that you *dont* slowly jog?
Or that if you have a caster in your party you have to long rest after every battle?
>He's never played DnD before
Use your Cantrips or play a warlock if spellslots make you cry. Not every fricking enemy needs your level 10 gigafrick spell to be used on them.
In normal D&D the DM paces the battles on purpose so that you're not forced to blow your wad on every battle. An entire session tends to be a set of challenges designed for the players to pace their per-encounter and daily abilities. I cannot say the same with BG3 and the obvious meta in that game is avoiding spellcasters altogether if you don't want to have the game grind to a halt for the shitty "camping" experience. Once modding becomes a thing I'm going to add a custom party mod and I'm going to add a quick full rest mod.
>>In normal D&D the DM paces the battles on purpose so that you're not forced to blow your wad on every battle.
And you're not in BG3, either. I was able to get through the entire Goblin Camp with a single long rest.
I can tell you're being disingenuous because there's more than a few instances of pure bullshit where the game surprises you with an encounter and there's no expectation of when you should be resting. It's a dumbass system that basically does become "waste all your spells every fight, then sleep". Same as quick saving every minute. The game is full of bullshit and you know it. It has no semblance of pacing.
Sounds more like you just have no idea how to fight without spamming spells, I bet you run nothing but blaster-casters and try to burst down enemies like it's fricking WoW or something.
BRO YOU ARE USING YOUR WIZARDS WRONG SO WHAT IF YOUR ROGUE WITH A BASIC ATTACK DOES DOUBLE THE DAMAGE OF THE CANTRIP, SO WHAT IF THE MONK DOES DOUBLE THE DAMAGE OF THE CANTRIP, IT MUST BE BECAUSE YOU ARE ABUSING YOUR LEVEL ONE SPELLS TO STAY ON PAR WITH BASIC FIGHTERS
Yep, you have no idea how to play a spell caster in D&D. If all you do is spam cantrips and level 1 spells to do damage you are absolutely playing the class wrong.
I'll give you a few hints, the best spells for a level one wizard are fog, grease, and magic missile, and of those you will be using grease and fog way more than magic missile.
Grease is a meme. You only ever need Tasha's hideous laughter or sleep to run control. I just fricking nuke shit first turn for anything dangerous and cc the rest. Mid-way through Act 2 now.
>Grease is a meme. You only ever need Tasha's hideous laughter or sleep to run control.
Tasha's and Sleep only affect one enemy for a short duration, Grease affects an unlimited number of enemies for essentially an entire fight. Even if enemies don't slip on it, it halves their movement speed. Put in a choke point and you can easily overcome a large number of foes as they try to navigate it. And of course, you can always explode it with a bomb once enough enemies are clustered on the grease.
You only need to control 1 enemy in 99% of the fights here. If you have any firm grasp of knowledge on the game, you'll be one-to-two-hitting most shit, which usually leaves only that one enemy worth ccing.
Grease is a wasted slot in BG3, don't use it.
???? Did you even play this game?
I'm 62 hours in my main playthrough 24 hours in the multiplayer. You can enlighten me on grease memes if you got vids. Otherwise, I ain't impressed by little damage combos when this game is already filled with busted shit that's better.
grease + fire cantrip melts stuff though
grease up your elven butthole and I'll slide a lightning bolt up there
You don't even need the fire cantrip, anybody with a molotov potion or a bomb could detonate it. I killed half the enemies in the outer area of the Goblin Camp with grease and minor illusion cantrip as the only spells I used. This homie complaining about long resting after a small encounter. Lol.
>bro I killed a small group of goblins with my grease spell
>of course, grease takes a spell slot, to be effective for the next fight, I'll have to rest
It takes only one spell slot, of the several I had available. I didn't require a rest after that fight due to being thrifty with my spell slots. In fact I did not need a long rest until after I'd assassinated all 3 of the goblin leaders inside the stronghold, cause by that point I'd used my arcane recovery.
>bro I just love playing my wizard as a grease mule, this is really fun
See
I just strongly suspect you did not even really play this as a D&D player would, and more like a power gamer who plays MMOs, so all you focus on is combat and doing "big damage" and you never think about alternate ways to complete objectives. Some of the best uses of magic with my wizard involved charming people, making myself invisible, or feather-falling into parts of the map ordinarily beyond reach.
>anon has fun using all the various spells the game gives him for literal free with a bit of banter and fluff inbetween using them
>compared to you using the same boring sounding OP tactic against everything you see
I really fail to see how you think you are making a good argument here.
I use a wide variety of spells with my wizard, but in combat, I stick to what's functional. For example, I use fog and minor illusion constantly to help Astarion steal from people under their noses. Fog is also useful for sneaking past enemies. Feather Fall allowed me to avoid the worst of the traps in the Hag's lair. And so on.
Wow it sounds like you really like to rest after using all your spells for utility
Minor illusion is a Cantrip you stupid Black person
>fog
>feather fall
Okay buddy
Why do you people have so much autism you can't let basic mechanics be criticized.
Feather Fall is a ritual spell
A single cast of feather fall affects the entire party for a few minutes, more than enough to get a lot of use out of it.
Minor Illusion is a cantrip, furthermore as an illusion-focus wizard it's enhanced so I can use it as a spammable bonus action in combat. It's rather useful, actually.
And fog is a level 1 spell which means arcane recovery lets me recover spell slots it uses pretty easily. Since I save my higher level slots for stronger spells, I'm a little more free to use level 1 slots for utility purposes.
>bro I love to ration out my spells like it's the Great Depression
Or you could, I dunno, full rest whenever you fricking want and not feel constrained and have even more fun.
This is the basics of D&D so I think it's just clear table top games aren't for you. Magic is very limited at low level, it takes time to become super powerful.
It's the basics of D&D in a crafted D&D session with a DM that knows how to pace a session. BG3 is an autistic interpretation of what D&D and its rules are. For frick's sake most D&D sessions are carefully crafted dungeon crawls and basic pacing. In a normal D&D session the rationing makes sense, you understand when you're fighting trash, you understand when you're fighting an elite and you understand when you're fighting the boss.
>bro, you HAVE to play this game like the TT version where an actually sentient DM is present to back you up, because, because, you just have to OK!
You can cry around all day long saying that others are playing this game wrong, but at the end of the day, everyone will just think that you're an autistic sperg.
Man this sounds like such a troony way to play wizard
That is a standard way to play wizard in D&D. You should stick to WoW and other MMORPGs where casters are just ranged DPS class with minimal utility and the only thing to do is grind repetitively on monsters.
I'll appreciate a system where magic has more uses than just shooting lightning bolts.
Illusion wizard is NOT the only way to play a wizard.
The play style isn't "illusion wizard", in fact the only illusion spell I mentioned is minor illusion. Fog Cloud is conjuration, Feather Fall is transmutation, and Grease is also conjuration.
It's a basic utility build for a wizard. Cause, again, dealing damage with spell slots is a huge waste when martials can do the same or better damage without consuming any resources that require a long rest to get back. By saving spell slots for things the martials can't do, like turning people invisible, conjuring fog clouds, or negating fall damage, I contribute to the party in invaluable ways.
You remain obsessively focused on battles and doing damage as the only worthwhile use of spells.
>You remain obsessively focused on battles and doing damage as the only worthwhile use of spells.
You might be stupid but 5E is the combat-focused version of D&D meant to be played on tactics maps.
And I get it, utility mule is your way to have "fun" with a wizard but to pretend nuker isn't a valid way to play a wizard is asinine.
lol the only way you can play "nuker" as a low level wizard is if your DM gives you nothing but babby's first encounter full of single digit HP enemies. That's pretty much the only way you will feel "powerful" at low level as a wizard, because spell slots are precious and a fighter can outclass any damage you do without consuming anything as valuable as a spell slot.
Wizards start off weak. That's the way it's supposed to be. They only become powerful later, as they get access to better spells and the number of spell slots they have also increases. They go from a supporting roll in combat to potentially ending a high level encounter in one turn.
I don't care what the utility mule player thinks, you clearly don't actually play D&D because you have too much autism
I play it every week, sometimes more than once per week. And I play with DMs that don't coddle the players, unlike you, mr. "I should be a god at level 1"
Yeah you're one of those shitty DMs that shits up public groups
I've played wizard in several of ways on the tabletop and this one-finger-pushing-up-glasses kinda way is pretty gay and girly.
So you like using your utility spells for that end, after which you have to rest.
But you ape out when the other anon says he likes to play a nuker and then has to rest?
You honestly sound autistic as frick. How long does all that shit take you? How many hrs do you already have logged?
>>So you like using your utility spells for that end, after which you have to rest.
No, not really. As already mentioned, Minor Illusion is a cantrip and Feather Fall is a ritual, neither consume spell slots. The only one that does is fog, but I rarely have to use it more than a couple times, often only once if I need it at all.
>nuker
You shouldn't be playing wizard.
>You shouldn't be playing wizard.
Oh, gatekeeping ways to play a wizard, the autistic utility wizard is the only way to play one? Okay buddy.
I like how you didn't answer my last questions, nerd.
Skill issue
Wizards become so much more powerful than Rogues it's not even funny. Rogues are the worst class in the game so your post confirms it's a skill issue
Play on Explorer difficulty, buddy
lol it's so funny seeing people ignorant of D&D complain that wizards are less powerful than rogues. Wizards are more powerful than the rest of their party put together once they get to mid level. Starting at level 5, when you first get level 3 spell slots, wizards just get ridiculous.
moron my entire point is you have fricking rest, not that spells aren't OP.
If you can't end a battle with like 2 spells max you don't know how to play wizard.
>end a battle with 2 spells max
>because the monk, rogue and fighter do all the damage
If the fight requires damage, the classes that specialize in damage should do the damage. Wizards have so much more utility and power than dealing damage. If an opportunity arises to quickly eliminate foes with a fireball, sure, I'll chuck a fireball and spare my party the trouble of having to get into combat with them. Else why bother wasting spell slots I can save for more useful things?
>bro wizards are so fun, you basically use them for utility where they do nothing 50% of encounters
Do you even listen to yourself?
Yes moron, if one class needs limited resources to do a thing but the other doesn't then it's better to try and use the FREE option first before wasting resources on something you can clear without using it. That is how you play casters (except for Warlock) in DnD, you use slots only when necessary and 90% of the time you'll never need to use more than your cantrip(s) and 1 or 2 spell slots per battle since you'll spend more times killing bandits, spiders, goblins, imps and skeletons than you'll ever spend time at killing dragons, beholders or mindflayers
Except this game isn't like real D&D it's a poorly paced braindead implementation of D&D where you play with an autistic dick as your DM.
Black person, you do know that pretty much EVERYTHING a caster is able to do can be replicated by using your environment right? You can throw almost everything not nailed to the floor if your strong enough, alchemy lets you create slightly weaker versions of almost every casters best spells, shit like high ground/LoS makes a HUGE difference in combat and pretty much every map in the game has multiple choke points you can abuse regardless of class. Combine this with the fact that for every mindflayer you meet, you'll fight atleast 20 bandits/goblins/undead you'll pretty much never have to use a single spell slot during the entire game.
The spell slots are also taken 1-to-1 from 5e so yes, they work identically to how they do in (modern) DnD
>The spell slots are also taken 1-to-1 from 5e so yes, they work identically to how they do in (modern) DnD
Modern D&D has a DM pacing encounters, they even make it really obvious when the party should rest in a particularly long dungeon. This game may use D&D rules but it is NOT D&D because it's not only missing a DM but it's missing even the facsimile of a DM.
But way to basically say wizards are useless. Yes, anon, I already know the meta is not to use wizards at all.
Are you seriously dumb enough to not understand that shit like goblins, zombies and bandits are fricking canon fodder? There is literally no DM on earth that would coddle players to the point where they straight up tell you when to use spell slots/resources since that would turn a ROLEPLAYING GAME into a Snoy movie game but with supremely bad acting. There is also literally nothing stopping you from long resting as much as you want since the only way to run out of camp supplies is to long rest TWICE per battle since that is the only way Larian can make the extra supply costs work on tactical difficulty without breaking the game
I'm not going to argue with someone being disingenuous. The game can throw heavy encounters at you back to back and even if you ration your spells you will get fricked. The Underdark has multiple encounters in row that will eventually force at least one rest and there's no indication of when you *should* rest because the game itself is poorly paced. So once again, the correct option is to nuke everything and rest once you're running low every 1-2 encounters.
>The game can throw heavy encounters at you back to back
Name one instance of this. Heavy encounters are pretty far spaced apart. When you're fighting repeatedly it's always low level enemies that you should have no trouble with.
Spectator into the Bulette into the Duergar Camp into the Mushroom people area into a fight with the Duergars into a fight with the Mushroom people with that one mushroom NPC into going to the Duergar city into fighting the group trying to open the side door where you have to convince the ox to work into fighting the whole city when you free the guy from the rocks.
When should you rest, hmmmm?
At literally any time that you are out of combat and you feel like it. The ONLY time the game doesn't allow you to long rest is when the mini-map is red or when you are in combat, otherwise you can literally sleep right in front of the army that The Absolute uses to march on Baldurs Gate
My whole fricking point is the mechanic is moronic and the game would be better without it. I'm pointing out that rationing is a feels bad system especially in a soulless implementation of D&D in a CRPG. The game would be 100% better with a quick full rest so you can skip the camp screen altogether.
The only soulless thing here is you. Even TT 5e forces you to use resources when you rest and that version is actually even more anal about it than BG3 is. Without resource costs the entire game would be reduced down to gambling with a d20, d10, d6 and d4
GEE ANON I WONDER WHAT MAKES TABLETOP DIFFERENT FROM CRPGs? CAN YOU TAKE A GUESS?
It's the BO
snacks?
I don't fricking know because you haven't made an actually coherent argument for this entire thread moron-kun
Another disingenuous liar response. Anon you're either actually moronic or you're lying about not understanding. It's the DM, that's the difference. And here's the weird thing about having a DM, they know how to craft a campaign around the group, know how to help the players understand when they should be rationing especially if rationing is going to be focus of the campaign. But guess what, dumb frick, BG3 is not written around rationing, you can long rest whenever the frick you want.
>WAAH! I'm a moron that can't learn context clues from stuff so I need a homosexual that holds my hand through everything!
The only way your this fricking dumb is if your a shitposter or if you've never played any other video game ever in your entire life
Black person, you rest when you run out of spells, it really is that fricking simple. If you are running out of spells so quickly that you have to long rest at least once per battle the that just means that you are supremely shit at the game and no amount of DM handholding is ever going to fix that unless the dude literally starts fudging numbers on enemies to the point where they all have 3HP max, they all keep missing or every enemy in the encounter all have a collective IQ of 5.
Like I said before, there are multiple ways to clear encounters in this game so that you waste 0 resources and none of them require you to be autistic of have the game fudge the numbers for you to the point where you don't even need to short rest or buy HP.
Did you know that everyone has "Shove" as a bonus action and that there are pits, ledges and high ground everywhere? Or that martial classes can do ANY action (which includes throwing things) that can potentially deal damage as an extra attack each round starting at level 5?
>bro you should rest every 2 battles
>this is a fun mechanic
Your literally shit to the point where you might be mentally moronic if you have to rest after every encounter. There is no way for you to run out of spell slots unless you are wasting ALL of them on level 2 12hp goblins for frick sake anon
Why would you not be wasting every single ability when the game lets you rest as often as you want to?
Because your being a massive fricking baby about being forced to rest you mong, if you don't want to rest then you don't have to which is what I've been saying for 20 min now atleast. Rests exists for two reasons in BG3, the first one is this:
the 2nd one is their way of time progression since there are a few mechanics that counts the amount of long rests you have done to progress quests/the story
>disingenuous bullshit argument
Jesus fricking Christ, how about you fricking morons read that anons post at full first before replying? Nowhere did he ever imply that a spellcaster is weaker than a rogue or whatever as a whole, or that he only uses cantrips and lvl 1 spells. Jesus Christ you Black folk are so fricking stupid.
Wizards being OP is a meme from idea guys talking about bullshit no sensible DM is going to allow you to do and is totally against the spirit of the game like "ignore the entire plot and open a shop then buy end game gear with the rules in the book", in video game format they are haste dispensers.
Why the frick wouldn't you burst down enemies in a turn-based game? A 1 HP mob does the same damage it would do at 100 HP. That other mob there that can mind-control, hold person, and summon- are you really going to let him have a chance to do any of that shit?
No, which is why you CC them with a utility spell at the start of a fight.
How can you not figure this out
Whoops you just wasted a spell slot, you're supposed to be rationing those
Anon is absolutely right, you would have to be extremely fricking stupid to be that bad
You're not supposed to long rest after every single fight. You're supposed to conserve your spell slots. Learn to play D&D, literal 90's baby moron
>You’re not supposed to use your spells just use a weak bow or dagger bro
Holy frick this board is infested with complete idiots.
Black person you have cantrips for a fricking reason. Eldritch blast ALONE can carry you through most fights.
moron the only cantrips you can have are level 1 slots.
No one wants to deal 1-8 damage on their turn in act 3 when a common enemy has 70 fricking health
>the only cantrips you can have are level 1 slots.
Oh cool, another homosexual who didn't play the game.
Lol.
>He's unable to build characters
>He hasn't learned to shove
>He has no alchemy
>He doesn't use debuffs and advantage giving spells
>He doesn't look for scenery to break to cause enviormental damage
dios mio, maybe play on Explorer
Sounds like he wants to play a computer DnD and not DivOS 3. Truly what a moron he was for getting BG 3 and not expecting it to be BG instead of DivOS.
In DnD you can do everything I suggested. Tabletop games are all about fricking lateral thinking, and the fact that the Anon from before is upset about SPELLSLOTS in a DND game is stupid as frick
Where the frick was I talking about DnD or TTRPGs? Read my post again, m8.
This has to be a troll
There is no way you are not aware that the entire foundation of this game is the DnD 5e rule set
>moron the only cantrips you can have are level 1 slots.
Are you actually moronic? Cantrips don't consume spell slots. They're free spells you can spam in combat. They don't do very much, but they let you contribute something as a low level caster. There's also scrolls, and stuff like alchemist's fire and various bombs.
At a low level spells casters need to conserve their spell slots and focus on utility and crowd control rather than damage.
Couldn't hear you over the sound of my Thunderwave and Chromatic Orb.
Tunderwave is pretty useful for its knockback effect, especially at level 1 you can easily kill a lot of difficult enemies with that.
But they're both pretty small potatoes vs something like fireball.
Cantrips also automatically become more powerful at every 5th level (e.g. at level 5 fire bolt will deal up to 20 dmg). That's how I know this homosexual (like nearly every other homosexual complaining about this game) hasn't played it.
There are legitimate criticisms over this game, but it's very odd that all the people complaining the most almost always inadvertently reveal that they haven't played the game.
Black person, even if firebolt deals up to 20 dmg after lvl 5, an actual lvl 2 or 3 spell still completely shits on it. Nothing what you or the other moron said diminished the original anons argument in any way whatsoever.
>an actual lvl 2 or 3 spell still completely shits on it
No fricking way! You mean a higher level spell that costs resources is more powerful than a cantrip? That's fricking crazy bro, who could ever think of such a thing?
Lmao, imagine being this desperate to shit on a game you've never played, that you willingly break your own ability to structure logical arguments in your brain.
My level 3 and up are exclusively for counterspell
I NEED to cuck everyone out of their cheeky shit
>You're not supposed to long rest after every single fight.
>He isn't long resting after every third fight
Imagine being this moronic, the game gives you so many supplies and you don't even need them to long rest to begin with.
Interesting. I avoided long resting because I thought it would progress quests where I did not want them to.
>it would progress quests where I did not want them to.
There are three or so quests where you'll progress them by long resting and they're all quite obvious.
Curious, as some article tells me to actually long rest as often as possible as to not frick up the wonky script work they did.
Hmmm.
so basically what you're saying is that DnD is a shit game in videogame format, which makes Baldurs Gate 3 shit? Got it, cheers.
Yeah, if anything everything is too crowded, feels a bit themeparkish at times. And no, I rested 7 or 8 times the entire game and I'm with 40 hours on the shadowlands, I only saw the Shadowheart and Lae'zel fight cutscene right after talking to Elminster. 5e casters are even more busted than Pathfinder ones, at least in BG3.
>E) 70% of the game is inventory management
Are you perhaps autistic?
>doesnt work with spell casters in mind
my dog took the time to alphabetize shit he don't even know about holy FRICK i love this website and the bird brains who type in places they don't belong. go ahead and (you) it up, people like this are a waste of time to argue with. They're worse than the people that never beat act 1, they never even played it.
>UHH NO i PLAYED IT FOR 8 HOURS AND I REALLY -
you didn't play the game.
lol this Black person hasn't even downloaded it yet
Whats wrong with spellcasting?
A Is my favorite because you know damn well the homosexuals treating BG3 like the savior of RPG's are going to condemn Starfield for doing the same thing.
Truth, I'm near the end of act 1 and it's already starting to feel like a chore. Glad I didn't pay for this shit.
ur so mad and poor
Absolutely filtered
Sounds like you have trouble reading, because you can tele to any land mark, and you can shift/ctrl click items to select multiple at once. Combine the shift/ctrl click with searching inventory by tags like “arrow” or “potion” and use bags quickly and easily manage inventory in seconds.
It’s not the games fault you suck ass at reading/thinking
Keked because of how wrong you are on all accounts. Have a (you)
I hate that there's no way to speed up the game during combat. Especially since sometimes the enemy gets stuck for a couple seconds before ending their turn
Dude the playerbase of this game is 70% chinese key sellers who keep client open and post fake reviews. The only reason they play beyond prologue is for cards to drop.
the frick am i supposed to do, power through this in two weeks
it took me a year to finish divinity original sin co-oping with someone since we only got to play a few hours for a day during the weekend and it was like 120 hours and didn't even get to sync up every weekend
even solo this game is massive
>a quarter
Black person the game is frontloaded as frick, act 1 is about 40-45% of the game.
I’m guess you never played act 3 because it’s longer than 1 and 2 combined.
Nta but Act 3 is a total forced woke shitshow. Thank god 80% of anons didnt reach it because they would rip it apart.
act 3 is a literal railway to the ending and the most streamlined act of all
what the frick are you doing that it's taking you "longer than 1 and 2 combined" lmao
>act 3 is a literal railway to the ending and the most streamlined act of all
Why are you lying?
>act 3 is a literal railway to the ending and the most streamlined act of all
The city is so massive that it's actually bothersome, what are you on about?
there is literally nothing there and half of what's available is bugged and broken
answer the question - literally WHAT do you do in act 3 that is taking that long ?
Talking to NPCs, doing quests, trading with vendors.
anon you don't have to pretend anymore, people have actually reached Act 3 by now
Every quest I find, it might not end up taking as long as act one, but I'll be really surprised if it isn't longer than act two. The density of quests alone is going to stretch this shit out for ages I'm sure.
I can't walk five steps without falling over another quest or returning NPC in Act III, you haven't played shit.
t. never went to the iron throne
How do you actually play larian games? I'm trying to play DOS1 for the first time, I made it to the city but I feel I'll end up dropping the game because inventory management is already getting out of control and the puddle effect kicks in, drowning me in chores. I wish to just replay BG1 or NWN1 to be honest.
You're playing them as intended, Act 1 then quit out of a combination of boredom and frustration.
the start of dos1 is the worst part. it takes finishing a few city quests before you can safely start to venture out of the city and start fighting a lot of battles. many anons complain about this part. there are some optimal starts/routes that get you out faster but that would be spoilers. just know that once you leave the city none of the other towns or zones have that much frick huge dialogue and characters to talk to without some combat and stuff to break up how boring it might be. i do think it is worth it sticking with it. if you hit about 5-6 hours and end up stumped in the city then it might be time to get some hints or guide the quests you can't figure out so you can move onto the rest of the game
legend of heroes series has insane completion rates considering the length of the games. it's not a big seller, but the few that buy them are dedicated
I haven't started yet because I want to beat Wrath of the Righteous first
I'm 41 hours in and still in act 1
actually this, act 1 is massive
Do you have a job OP? Not even as a dig on NEETS, I fricking hate having to work, but I'm asking because of the time management aspect. BG3 is thrust fully into the normie line of sight and lots of people that work full time and/or have other hobbies are playing it. It's close to what, 2 weeks out? That's some 15-30 hours a week depending on how much you zoom through it, not to mention if you make any alts.
57 hours here, but I spent about 10-15 noodling around on a druid before going back to pally
Do you know that there are programs that unlock achievements without playing the game?
If they were bots, they would use them to make it seem like there is progress. So if anything it's people who bought it because of hype and now found out cRPGs aren't actually for them. Or maybe just people who don't have that much time.
Also, it's 23.5% right now.
It's that they aren't into this type of porn game masquarading as a crpg AND larian is known for their games falling to complete shit after Act 1.
Even if you support Larian you know about this meme.
To a rando trying it on a blind whim it would just look like an unfinished bad game to them because they won't know all Larian games are like that and people somehow justify it because it's normalized for them.
>porn game
I've seen breasts once so far and I'm in act three with 60 hours clocked, you gays are way overstating the smut content.
They aren't though. Almost every interaction is some form of ESG pandering.
Are you off your meds? How does that make it a "porn game"?
The amount of porn being non-0 is what makes it a porn game.
It's a zero sum game to people that aren't interested in porn in their games.
The game just isn't good enough to take up people's time now. That is where the shill narrative has landed somehow in a bid to counter anons saying the game is just shit. They won't admit it is shit, they just keep insisting no one is willing to set time aside to play it even though that is what all people do when playing any game.
>The amount of porn being non-0 is what makes it a porn game.
It's got the about the same amount of wiener, breasts, and balls as CP2077, it doesn't full on show penetrative sex at any point so no it's not a porn game. You think normalgays are massive prudes or something? They loved shit like Game of Thrones, a little bit of tit and some flacib peckers isn't going to scare off many normalgays.
People that avoid porn in games probably avoided 2077 for the same issues.
Is whataboutism the only thing these marketer fricks have?
These people barely exist if they even do at all, you avert your eeyes at sex scenes in movies or something homosexual?
>denying reality
now I've seen it all.
I'm not misunderstanding. I'm saying your anecdote about you not caring shouldn't be used to extrapolate to all people.
You're a moron and a minority, adults don't care about seeing a bit of tit, we're not all all big fricking babies like you.
I'm neither. Normies aren't the minority lad, they are the majority, the norm.
The game's own metrics given out by Larian show how much the game flopped. It isn't coming from anons anymore, anons are just pointing out what Larian released.
HOLY FRICK THIS
SO MUCH FRICKING THIS
HAHAHAHA THE NARRATIVE IS COMPLETLY FALLING APART AND THEYRE TOO FRICKING STUPID TO SEE IT
Thanks for the bumps lad.
1/5th of the playerbase dropped it 1/3rd of the way through. Less than 400 people completed the game at all. There were almost 1000000 players.
Of those 10000000 less than 400 completed it. that is a fraction of a fraction of a percent.
Completion percetnage doesn't matter at all in this conversation moron, we're talking financial success. I'm pretty sure most games have abysmal completion ratings anyway, lots of morons buy shit and only play a tiny amount of it.
I'm not talking about financial success. We don't have any statistics on refunds and Larian won't release units sold yet for some reason.
This entire topic is about statistics of players, Larian refuses to give statistics on sales.
>I'm not talking about financial success
Then you claiming it was a flop is just an asspull from a moron, I shoulda known. I don't really care if the completion rating stays the same, I'm 60 hours in and I might finish it this week, but the game is rather mediocre so I could understand people not bothering with more than act one. It's better than their Divinity games, but it's got nothing on proper tabletop. But no video game will ever be made that can rival actual tabletop.
>Less than 400 people completed the 60+ hour game over the opening weekend
Now I know you're baiting. Well done.
Bro you must be older than 18 to post here.
Either that or you have very very low critical thinking skills
>The game's own metrics given out by Larian show how much the game flopped
Huh? I've seen nothing about it flopping, source this since all I've seen is it's a huge success. And if you think a bit of tit and sex scenes causes something to flop you must be completely moronic since shit like GoT did not flop.
You dumb Black folk said the same thing about CP77 and Elden Ring. This entire board is the definition of the Dunning-Krueger effect in action because homosexuals see numbers and go apeshit.
You are literally using comments from random anons and using it as an argument for the game being "bad". Should I tell you that's also anecdotic? While you are also using those comments to extrapolate to the "low" player count? I don't wanna take you on bad faith but it seems you are fixed on thinking the game is 'bad'.
No I'm just saying the game is bad because it is bad.
The metrics by Larian show that most people just agree with me.
Nope. Elden Ring was lauded for having a ridiculously high clear rate for being a from software game.
Like massive high clear rate. People like Elon musk were talking about the game openly. Meanwhile, no one will even put time aside to play this game.
ER had so many Shazam Trannies trying to pull another TORtanic on here it was unreal. CRPGs from a AA company don't have the same pull as Fromsoft.
If you want to get deeper into it. CRPGs also have a much higher time commitment than a souls game, in ER I can load in, hack and slash my way to the next Grace, and close it in under two hours.
You're comparing apples and oranges, bud.
Yes, the metric that shows that a little porcentage of people completed the game... I really thought for a moment you were trying to have a conversation, good bait, you got me typing good.
>Elden Ring was lauded for having a ridiculously high clear rate for being a from software game
The frick are you smoking troony? It has abysmal clear rate. Literal fotm garbage that everyone dropped immediately.
40% of the psn players got ALL TROPHIES.
No, it's claimed from the sourced data Larian gave out for some reason.
I believe you are misunderstanding, the fact I want to have a lot free time to play it doesn't mean I didn't feel like my time was rewarded when playing, I think I need to be focused when playing a CRPG instead of something like mobas or ARPGS where I can just zoom out and press the buttom. I work from monday to friday and I have been setting time weekends in order to finish it. I can agree most people may not feel like the game is worth their time but for me its been quite fun.
Kinda makes one think you are a moronic homosexual...
less than 400 people cared enough to finish the game kek.
looking at achievements as any kind of metric is terrible
mods can break them, not to mention some just aren't tracked correctly when you try and look them up
not to mention everybody playing who pirated
No it's a pretty standard thing to do. Devs integrated them specifically so they could interpret the data better post launch.
Looking at them to extrapolate is totally normal.
All those whataboutisms are infinitesimally small compared to normal people that purchased the game and played it.
i've played maybe twenty hours since release
i have other games i'm playing, also a job
I have like an hour a day of free time. Some of us work for a living
The narrative before launch was that this game would stop the world in it's tracks it was so life changing.
Now people can't even set aside time to play it.
>The narrative before launch was that this game would stop the world in it's tracks it was so life changing.
Can you post some links to back that up?
Good goy! Clock in for another shift wagie.
Could someone please post the "BG3 forces you to be gay" meme? I need it.
Ok but only if he behaves himself.
When does act1 end?
When that achievement triggers, officially.
>DnD game cryptically references somewhere dark
Use your noggin on where the trigger will be.
Or maybe not everyone that's playing is a NEET that can sink 10 hours a day into the game or speedrunners that skip half the content. I'm actively playing every day or two and still in Act 1. Just finished the Underdark and I'm finally about to go through the Mountain Pass.
Astroturfed trash.
>An entire space
ESL moron
>he doesn't know
Know what? Is there an inside joke about not speaking English?
The joke is the post the chad image over obvious moronation and then post a soi jack as some ironic straw man.
Too many levels of irony given a bunch of contrarians actually agree with the framing in the bottom.
I'm not gonna finish it before the big patch is released. I've heard enough warnings about how unfinished everything after halfway through act2 feels.
What the frick is the poster in that pic on about? From what we know there is very little cut content and the system that tracks flags internally is just fricking broken thanks to either some minor but severe coding mistake that they never got around to fixing or there were some changes to the system that were never fully tested shortly before release that broke it, either way that poster is blowing shit wildly out of proportion
Nobody should be surprised by this.
The Underdog Indie studio remaking a game that everyone has heard about got more free media (or paid interviews) than just about any other game this year
Probably one of the best marketing campaigns in recent history to push a game they knew people would drop after 10 hours or a few bad rolls of the dice.
It is going to harm wotc in the long term just like all their decisions do.
They are in a really weird short term profit for long term loses game right now with all their IPs.
As they try to stranglehold more control, they lose more marketshare.
I am pretty sure WOTC hates its consumer base a it is and wants to replace them with some non exsistant consumer base.
i have 45 hours in it and i'm still doing act 1 because i am autistic and go try to do everything. so i'm in the mountains now after doing underdark. i've actually missed quite a few things already because of time gating, the game is massive.
>act 1 can take you up to 70 hours
>whoa less than 20% have played 70 hours in a single week
So... OP is a moron.
That's because the game is front-loaded as frick. Once you go past Act 1, the game just starts to break down. Act 3+ are way shorter, maps are just placeholders and the plot just flounders. Act 1 & 2 is like a 10/10 but Act 3 and beyond plummets to a 6/10.
but wasn't this game's act 1 already finihed for like a year? What have they done throughout the early access that the rest of the game is still rushed?
>What have they done throughout the early access that the rest of the game is still rushed?
caught and tamed a bear to motion capture genuine bear sex
>makes you think
you’re not thinking at all though? you are surviving off the smallest amount of brain power. how sad
I've been nearly no-lifing this game since release. Over 40 hours and I'm still nearing the end of Act 1. Most people (ie. not Gankerneets) only play 1 or 2 hours a day which is not enough time to finish act 1 unless you're rushing.
Also consider that this game attracted a LOT of normies to a genre that is notorious for filtering the frick out of non-autists. When you consider all that, 20% seems surprisingly good.
You can take the total hours played given out by Larian and divide that by total player count to get a rough estimate of how long each person on average played.
The narrative that people aren't playing it because they are too busy or too normie is a cope that flies directly in the face of the marketing's aim.
In-game player count isn't an accurate representation of actual total players since it's not the same 600-700K people playing 24 hours a day
Do you think they give a shit how long anyone plays it? The plebs already gave them their money.
>You can take the total hours played given out by Larian and divide that by total player count to get a rough estimate of how long each person on average played.
Where are you getting these numbers besides the opening weekend numbers Larian released last week?
Do you genuinely believe people with jobs and families are spending more than 2 hours a day playing any game? You are the one that's coping over this game's success, not me.
>Do you genuinely believe people with jobs and families are spending more than 2 hours a day playing any game?
That isn't material to the discussion. Implying that is everyone playing the game is a folly.
If anyone cleared the game (they did) then everyone can do it.
They just don't care to. That is a rather poor reflection on the game's quality.
I skipped a week of work when Oblivion came out. It isn't a good sign when that type of dedication isn't there for BG3.
you dont understand
The poor mom and dad gamers who have kids and work and responsibility just dont have time to play the game!
In a couple months they will show you and beat act one instead of playing Todds game or Fromsofts game and fogetting all about BG3!
>Act 1 can go easily to 50hours
In that time you could have easily complete the entire catalogue of PlayStation 5 exclusives
I thought the combat would get better after a few levels but it didn't so I stopped playing after the moon tower battle
I spent the last 10 hours creating new saves and learning how to play and rerolling shit, the game is not as simple as diablo
Doesn't seem too strange
The average clear rate for the souls games is dumb high when you factor in how hard the games actually are. Not just the meme hardness, but the games are actually difficult to normies.
And they still power through to get insanely high percentages.
The elden ring metrics showed how much that game truly dominated people's time when it released. BG3 was a flop by comparison. Sales wise it did great, but the cultural impact is almost nothing.
What were the Elden Ring completion metrics a week after launch, though?
Something to do with the game not launching with achievements I believe, only 72% have lit the first bonfire which is like 2 minutes in
Hag yes, fish cult I don't think so, where was that
it's a very missable crevice down near the arcane tower. it has some interesting outcomes if you can roll well.
I haven't finished act 1 because I keep making alts and playing multiplayer with my friends
I'm playing with 3 friends and it took less than 30 hours, doubt we did everything but pretty sure we explored everywhere, I can't imagine what else there could be to do that would make people take so long
did you find things like the hag and the fish cult?
oh the spider cave was easy to miss too.
>pretty sure we explored everywhere
I'm pretty sure that you didn't.
Did you find the secret base beneath the burning inn?
Did you find the secret chamber in the tollhouse?
Did you find the hidden island in the swamp?
etc.
>secret base beneath the burning inn
With the bandits or smugglers? Yes
>secret chamber in the tollhouse
If that's the hidden room where you need to sit in the chairs
>hidden island in the swamp
Maybe if it had mud elementals or quasits or whatever they were but that wasn't very secret so maybe it wasn't that one
If you mean the tower underground then we missed that
>If you mean the tower underground then we missed that
yeah, that one. might wanna go back and do it. it's one of the more interesting short side quests so far in my opinion.
BOO AL BOO AL
All the tiefling stuff
All the druid stuff
Auntie Effle
The swamp area The Underdark
Blighted village
Gobo camp
The secret thieves hideout
The phase spiders
That dungeon where you find Withers
The mountain pass
The burning house and the flaming fist
The githyanki creche
The harpie fight where you save mikron
Plus talking to everyone and all the companions.
>pretty sure we explored everywhere
You did not or otherwise you did not do quests at all
I think I’m getting old because I can’t distinguish the shitposts from the actual morons anymore.
It's just zoomer brains - they're all legitimately moronic and proudly make up new mental disorders to tell everyone about every week.
You can play the game yourself and see how overrated it is. Just don’t buy it because you will regret that purchase.
whats so hard about it anon? shills and shitposters run away if you shit on the game with arguments, while the morons start seething and bring up the score because they can't bring up anything else because no sales numbers
they bait the morons pretty good and toke their money, like how they did with Dos 2, great 2 acts, everything fall apart after that, same old story.
I will buy it next year for 20$ when its fixed.
To be fair I'm not getting too invested right now since I'm waiting for PoE new league and I know if I start BG3 again I will screw my schedule and wont be able to bruteforce the league start.
Too be fair not many people are getting invested at all for a variety of reasons and the steam data shows it.
That's why I said rough estimation. Even then you'll have a person that played for 1 hour next to people playing 200 hours and an average being achieved.
It's messy but it would work.
I'm 100% sure of it. I've never seen a company derive such glee from intentionally upsetting their fanbase. It isn't sustainable.
That's where I'm getting it.
>That's where I'm getting it.
So you're using player numbers within 3 days of the game's release, and combining that with data across the whole lifespan of the game, to derive player retention numbers...
You should consider graduating from middle school before posting.
I admit it is not as retentive as other gamers but that could also be attributed to the genre of the game. As others said with elden ring there was a good point of stop which was pointed with graces. When I play BG3 I feel like I have to complete a certain amount of quest to feel like I did a session which sometimes makes me feel I can put up to 3 hours to advance the story, meanwhile I'm like, ok I can play 2 games of Dota or perhaps run certain amount of maps with PoE.
Wow it's almost like the complete inverse of Ganker praising games like Hatred for "owning the libs" despite it statistically selling like dogshit.
Pot meet kettle...?
Took me 49hrs to do act 1 and doing everything there is to do. Too many zoomies rushing through the game.
I'm 25 hours done, not even halfway done act 1. Even people I know who are 40 hours deep aren't done act 1. Game has been out like 2 weeks? People have lives.
Been playing but I'm busy with work. Not to mention half of my reason for buying was before I enjoy watching AAA devs seethe.
Who woulda thought forcing players to manage 4 unique characters in combat would burn them out. AI/lone wolf feature when
Wasn't a problem for any other crpg ever. Someone there are a lot of copes to explain the failings of this game and for some reason it's always the player at fault, never the game being shitty.
Dead game.
I'm just having a lot of fun exploring and killing troony looking NPCs.
Why does Ganker post shit like this like it's some damning evidence? This is incredibly common for modern games and it's the reason why content for most games is front-loaded because of the low clear rates from players. Either you don't know this because you're moronic or you do know this and just pissed off BG3 is successful. Or both.
all my time is dedicated to respeccing or stealing
a homie ain't got time to finish quests
to be fair i have very few achievements in skyrim while having nearly 800 hours, i just mod it so heavily i can't get achievements due to the code making achievements not appear for modded games. it could also be that BG3 players are gay coomers only interested in the bear sex and stop playing after whacking off
That isn't happening with BG3 though. It isn't known as a modding heaven like Skyrim was. People just aren't as interested in the game as the marketing implied.
THIS
SO MUCH FRICKING THIS
WE WON POL BROS
WE FRICKING FRICKING ONE
THE GAME JUST ISNT AS POPULAR AS MARKETING IMPLIED!
i have work you moron, i can't just play 30+ hours a week you fricking jobless loser
Others can, and they don't even care enough to finish it with all that free time. Millions of hours were played per Larian's data. Less than 500 completed the game and most never left the beginning. The metrics show people just stopped playing at a specific point.
How long will it take before normie opinion realises its mid?
Game falls apart after Act2/Moonrise tower.
its ok to not love turn based by imagine getting the game and not knowing its turn based, then dropping it immediatly just because its turnbased. loathsome fricking subhuman
Games already lost over 200k players it’s over nobody is gonna finish this game ahhahaha
>coping because the game is good
classic Gankerpol/
OIf course its mostly bots/non gamer hyping it up. The comminutiy manager had a meltdown when it was discovered that most real players are actually heterosexual white men with a character representing their mental stability and not disgusting sex perverted pedophiles with girl penis and demon eyes.
don't check how many people beaten Godrick The Grafted in Elden Ring
it is like this in most games on Steam. these stats are broken or people are straight up buying games to have them and not ever play them
I completed act 1 at around 25 hours. To think that a quarter of millions upon millions of people have poured 20+ hours into a CRPG is completely unbelievable. This game is unironically changing gaming as we know it.
>people can't even be assed to set aside time to play the game
This is actually the narrative the shillforce is putting out there to try and explain the data.
I dropped it in Act 2. The game is mediocre as frick.
Filtered by the dark
This game 100% has a bought and paid for shill campaign
I have yet to meet someone who is actually playing it and maybe 3 people on all the dicord servers I lurk in play it. Even a server with several mentally ill leftoid troon people. Who is actually playing this?
People who aren't mentally ill, so people you aren't interacting with.
I don't have many friends on Steam, but two of them got the game.
I have 10 fiends actively working through the game. Only 4 including me and the friend I am playing with have made it past act 1.
Several of my co workers have been playing the game. (Software engineer position)
My tech lead is playing the game.
To me it seems like people who actually work enjoy the game. If you aren’t underage, maybe get a job and stop complaining on video game forms.
its fricking tuesday night here and I have lots of friends playing
last time Ive seen this many of my friends play the same game was elden ring
that doesnt count i dont know anyone that plays it so no one is all your "friends" are probably trannies lol good thing Starfield is coming soon
Why does this game trigger the trannies so hard? They have been seething for months.
>Less than 1/5th of players have completed a quarter of the game.
Act 1 is like 60% of the game its mega frontloaded like all of Larian games
And not even 1/5th of them cared to complete that much.
Player count has already dropped by hundreds of thousands.
I don't think anyone actually is. the metrics don't support there being an actual playerbase.
>Player count has already dropped by hundreds of thousands
This happens with every single player game. For your own sake I hope you're pretending to be moronic.
Yeah that's me, I got gifted this game ages ago while it was in early access and I haven't got round to installing/playing the game.
just like you trannies said every antivaxxer will be dead by now. the one thing is sure, you will never recover your balls

this was never actually a problem for me, but i do dislike the mechanic in general, so yes.

i didn't even know this could happen
>RTwP babby is filtered by piss easy turn-based combat and out of combat mechanics
Might as well cheat at this point.
>filtered
Funny you keep using this word, I don't think you actually know what it means.
So if the turn based is so damn easy, why would RTwP ppl want it to be RTwP instead? Maybe because it really is easy as all fricking shit but it being RTwP would speed up everything by like times 10? Hmmm.
>t-turn based is easy, also banalize every single mechanic and let me rest spam like in le old RTwP days
You are deranged.
>calls turn based easy himself

You're a very special kind of moron.
RTwP is dead and it's never coming back.

Awesome move right there, champ.
Cope.
Attaboy, keep on making a fool out of yourself. You're doing quite great in that regard.
(me again)
I posted the above before fully finishing reading your moronic dribble you probably call an "argument"
>implying you can't just as easily rest spam in this game
You are actually massively beyond being a special kind of moron.
>thieves tools should only be used up when rerolling checks involving them, not on fails
This is such a non-issue with a rogue in a team. My vampire fricktoy rolls 30+ all the time.
They should NOT make short rests that fricking OP since that would make long rests completely pointless and it would make fighters lose their one good gimmick.
Pretty much the only good points you brought up were making sure that dipping 1 level into wiz doesn't allow you to learn every scroll in the game and Halisin should become a party member sooner (right at the start of act 2 would be perfect).
My own hot takes would be:
>Lock some crafting shit so that it's exclusive to rangers, rouges and wizards
>Make rituals cost gold to use and create an AOE version of every "until long rest" party buff
>Add more detailed breakdowns for dice rolls as an option for every number in the game
>Take some of the Cleric only religious dialogue and turn it into a general "What god do you worship?" customisation option on character creation
>Add more benefits and disadvantages to the different backgrounds and add hints to the journal on what you need to do to gain at least some of the insight (make them optional/lock disadvantages to Tactician for people that like them how they work now)
>Rebalance all pure martial classes (and rangers) completely so that they aren't completely reliant on magic gear to function at later levels
>Remove concentration from half of Paladins buffs or at least from all of the smites
>Add some optional buffs/debuffs to long rests like if you use too much alcohol to rest you'll get a "hung over" debuff until next short rest or if you eat certain high value food you get stuff like extra HP until next long rest or advantage against CON saving throws or something else like that
>Remove the level caps for multi-classing (just make it extremely hard to achieve) so that you can potentially be level 12 on two classes at the same time
>short rest should fully heal
durable feat. dishonest post: opinion discarded
On my end, the game REALLY needs custom hirelings.
I'd like to be able to make my own party without janky workarounds that Larian is likely to patch out.
>vlaakith instant-killing your entire party if you refuse her should be removed, let her rage and rant and teleport guys in to fight instead
That's completely moronic. If there's anything that's in-character it's Vlaakith being petty and killing you with style points.
>>left alt should highlight ALL interactable objects; ALL of them. not just some
Why would this be a hot take? Actually, why the frick is it not the case?
It's smells of devs demanding players play the game *their* way, there's a lot of hidden frickery in this game because I guess they don't want someone to scum find hidden items or something, I dunno.
>only one human-looking female companion that you can bang as a hetero male character
Come on.
Why would you wanna bang a human in a fantasy setting? You can go outside and bang any broad you want, right anon?
Why would I have sexual desire for anything but a human though?
People completing it at all shows it's possible. You are coping by saying people didn't have the time when others did. The reality is they didn't care to do it when others did.
the game isn't holding people's interest. 80% filter out of the game by the close of Act 1.
Dumbass, I already know you're baiting, so stop. No one can have logic this flawed and still be able to breathe.
>People completing it at all shows it's possible
This is so incredibly moronic it must be a bait.
>liking githyanki and tieflings
Are you guys for real...? Don't they look uncanny valley-ish to you?
Githyanki look a bit fricked up due to the nose, but Tiefling are just humans with horns and a tail, literally Star Trek ayyys level of boring homies in makeup tier fantasy race. I'm a Teraurge appreciator so none of the playable races would be particularly difficult lays.
i have a job, weird shift schedules
i played 33 hours so far
i'm deep in the underdark
taking it slow, i'm looting every container i come across (i can't stop)
what's the rush ?
Act 1 gives you a pretty noticeable warning, or rather a suggestion that the player should be mindful of clearing (unfinished) quests they want to before moving on to the next act, so I think it's fairly common for people to spend a loooot of time clearing everything they can before moving on, as the game doesn't specify what quests or content you are locked out of if you proceed. And the first act is pretty big, map-wise at least.
It's strange though. They take all that time to clear the unfinished stuff, but then don't actually complete Act 1.
They just stop playing instead.
I'm not baiting, your copes just don't make sense.
The entire larian discord came out of the woodwork in unison to have the same cope that peole don't have the time or interest to play the game all of a sudden. It is a very strange cope when the narrative was the game would set the world on fire before launch.
It's almost like the discord sisters aren't actually consistent in their methodology and are only reactionaries and their reactionary nature now has them allying with Ganker but thinking they are countering it.
Both sides are saying that the game isn't worth the time to play it, one side is just saying it as a cope to counter the side that honestly dislikes the game.
We play the fiddle, you dance to it. That has always been how this relationship worked.
>peole don't have the time or interest to play the game all of a sudden
Dumbass, have you ever worked a day in your life? How the frick is a regular dude who works Monday to Friday (ie. the vast majority of adults) going to be able to spend 30-50 hours in a game in a little over a week? Genuinely, no sentient human can be this stupid. It's like your consciousness is so miniscule that you can't comprehend someone having a different lifestyle than your homosexual neet ass.
Yep. I work a standard job. The narrative by shills was the world would stop when the game releases.
Now their narrative is no one even cares enough to play it.
It doesn't matter why, all that matters is people are choosing not to play it.
>The narrative by shills was the world would stop when the game releases.
Cool strawman bro. The only way you can be right is if you fabricated someone who's wrong. Lol.
Lmao.
>They take all that time to clear the unfinished stuff, but then don't actually complete Act 1.
Because it's been a fricking week since the game came out, moron, and unlike you most people work a fricking job 30-40 hours a week and have other obligations weighing on their time. I'm almost 30 hours into the game now and nearly done with act 1. Technically I could've finished it a while ago, but I'm trying to explore every possible area before I move on. Not everybody's a NEET power gamer who speed runs the game on their first play through.
I have 115 hours in and still haven't completed act. Whats your point?
first of all, i pirated the game, so i'm not in that statistic, and second of all well excuse me for restarting the game thrice already
Not surprised at all. If I were to summarize the game in a single word it would be "tedious". The game simply feels tedious as frick to play. Wanted to see if it's actually the game or me being a 30+ yo boomer now, so I started up BG2 again after last having it played like 15 years ago and I'm having a blast again.
Why does everyone that shit on this game lie about it? If it was so bad, why aren't they pointing out actual flaws instead of making shit up? It's almost as if they are being paid to lie about a game they have never played.
This is what culture war obsession combined with being terminally online does to people. Because they think the game is "woke" they must impotently devote their lives to convincing themselves that it's less successful than it is. They will even break their own logic to justify this cope. Literal "it hurt itself in its confusion" moment.
They are pointing out the flaws.
The equivalent of trannies bringing Hogwarts Legacy steam stats like they matter.
>When Trannies do it against Legacy, steam charts don't matter and it's a singleplayer game anyway
>When Ganker does it against BG3 it's a bone-chilling death knell to the game.
Curious.
Does anyone know what triggers the completion of the ritual of thorns? Is it time gated behind number of rests? Because i'm thinking of hiring karlach and doing the creche before dealing with goblins
So far as I can tell, number of rests has nothing to do with it. I think that happens if you exterminate the Tieflings for Kagha, without getting Halsin to leave the goblin camp (by dealing with them all and then reporting back to him).
ok, thanks. that helps
I'm busy with work and taking my time exploring the Underdark before I leave. I've had the ability to leave act 1 for several days, via the Risen Road, but I have no reason to leave while there is still a ton of shit in the Underdark for me to see.
Why are gith such c**ts and why haven't they been genocided yet?
They live in space most of the time and have dragons on their side
just shoot the dragons
If you only have time to play for a couple of hours a day, act 1 still is a legitimate possability. its huge.
Its heavily front loaded so a quarter of the game isnt quite true.
>get to act 3
>Act 3 bugged as frick so don't wanna continue before patch
>Decide to just make a new character
>Get to act 3 (tactician)
>no patch
>Make another
>Act 3 right now
Fricking hell, guess I should just put the game down.
I got used to the poor performance. It's like I'm playing a Switch port or something.
Just make a character in every class and race 😉 That's how i played the early access. That's how i am playing right now.
>neet who plays games all days surprised normal people play games slowly
>especially considering act 1 is 20-30 hours
I kept restarting the game cause I’m not happy with my character every time. Then after doing that for like 3 days I just suddenly lost interest
act 1 is insanely big, and there are a metric ton of quests/sidequests. also, EVERYTHING is voiced. even random animals after you use a converse with animals potion. or talking with the dead.
no exaggeration, even witcher 3 has less content.
Larian knew what they were doing. Shifting all the LGBT woke shit in act 3 where you'll be too invested by then.
Game on release get massive positive reviews, and normal gay will take months to get to act 3 and finally get disgusted by the garbage. Absolute master plan from the Juden at WOTC.
nah, they know what their audience likes too.
based Larian delivering the coom
the armor is also good and fantasy appropriate.
Nice, butt curtains.
>fantasy appropriate
yes the male fantasy that is KEK
>drag queen in an evil necromancer in a circus
>this is woke
Okay.
>get to city
>everyone is gay
Hmm
act 1 is more like 45% of the game honestly
Cope tendie
>people play 5 hours and say its the best game ever and never play it again
zelda, persona, god of war, final fantasy.
23% actually, also if its anything like Divinity 2 act I will take 20 hours at least
it's so nice when fighters/barbs get their extra attack. also, around the same time gale can aoe nuke with fireballs or use counterspell.
save before fights though, it's not "save scumming" as you can literally get fricked by rolling a bunch of 2s and 3s. or, you might crit everything.
>save before fights though, it's not "save scumming" as you can literally get fricked by rolling a bunch of 2s and 3s. or, you might crit everything.
That's literally you admitting the the game combat mechanics are shit
if you don't know how to deal with RPGs having RNG this might be the wrong genre for you
Most rpgs have rng but most devs aren't moronic like larian and know truly random rng is shitty for all parties involved.
Everyone else knows how to adjust rng to not be arbitrary in it's randomness, larian just doesn't know how.
worked just fine for warcraft 3
second playthrough makes me realize how valuable some spells are and how scrubby I used to play.
bless is literally a fight winner, that and spirit guardians. plus fighter abilities or others that give disadvantage.
Dark urge monk is literally just Ryu.
makes me wonder if the population is capable of beating a game
Mods turn off achievements moron, there's no way of knowing if those numbers are right. I've been using a better AI one and didn't care enough to also download the achievement re-enabler. I've beaten Original Sin 2 3 times and don't have a single achievement because I use the IN GAME faster walking speed mod.
I have 70 hours clocked in and haven't beaten the first act yet because I have multiple saves, and I have multiple multiplayer games going on at once
It's well-known that 80% of players never reach the end of a game they play. Most don't even get out of the first couple hours.
Act 1 lasted me 20 hours.
I bet if you did an in-depth study it would find out that the optimum length for a game would like 3 hours or just 30 minutes Start-to-End per session. I like meaty games but I'm pretty sure everyone screaming 40 hours or die probably just play their "goty [enter year]" for two hours and never pick it up again.
Most people don't get into the sunk cost fallacy, they play a game for 10 hours, realize it's shit and boring, and stop playing.
Nonsense. If you need ten hours to tell the gameplay loop is trash your brain is running at room temperature. People actually just move on and lack the attention span to keep up with anything that isn't in the cultural zeitgeist
>bro you should know the rpg is shit within 1 hour of playing
It's pretty easy to tell if you actually play vidya. If an rpg actually can't grab me in the first hour of play it's honestly a mid title usually. Never been wrong before. The "slow-burner becomes kino" is always just overhyped shit. Great games know how to tease an opening and get you interested and after two hours you can figure out a gameplay loop and if it will matter to you.
Im playing a party of 4 real people, all with jobs and lives and one person lives a few time zones away. Just hard for all of us to link up but when we do, we usually progress pretty quickly. Add that on top of the game taking forever to do anything. You can dialogue just about anyone.
>consoomers are gonna consoom and forget because they have to get ready to consoom what's next
I just checked steam elden ring achivements and only 78% of players made it to the round table and apparently only 20% actually finished the game after all this time.
I just got to act 2. I'm 106 hours in.
this is pretty common in all games. people buy it and then never start
Yeah I have one friend on steam who's like OP, guy went straight onto the game on release day, played it nonstop for like the next 5 days, finished it, and now he's just sits here bugging the rest of us to finish it so he can talk about it.
Sorry bud but I'm enjoying this. OP, when you watch a movie do you fast forward to the credits? Why not? That's the same moronic attitude you have here.
>Every piece of dialogue is either
> A) I'll kill you and then rob you.
> B) Give me your things or I kill you.
> C) I want to suck your wiener. Let's have gay sex.
> D) I will not suck your wiener.
> E) Join my party, we have good wiener sucking here.
> F) I will help you
> G) Leave
I'll kill you and then rob you
>I will rob you of your semen!
This. I haven't actually played this game, but I feel in my heart that this is true.
/Pol/sisters, we are actually winning!
>dragon age origins and Baldur's Gate but shit and not actually real time
My fricking sides
considering act1 is longer than most AAA games now thats pretty good.
its an CRPG moron with 120+ hours only for the story, not the average AAA title
im impressed how good pathing is, you can look way ahead and click and it isn't janky at all.
Multileveled houses in Baldur's Gate have started making me want to kill myself
I have 100 hours played and am still in Act 1
are you moronic?
are you me?
Not everyone can power through video games 8 hours a day. I'm still in Act 1 because of all the shit distracting me both in the game and out.
I've ppayed the game for 3 days and while I hate it, I am not out of act 1. at least, I haven't started act 2 for real yet, because I did jump in the giant spider hole.
>Let that sink in.
Most people have a life. You can spend 50 hours in act1, that could take more than a month for most people.
Imagine buying a game and not playing it for 24/7. What do you losers have, a job, relationship, or personal obligations preventing you from playing the game all day l???
If so... how do I get one?
hahaha i knew people would get sick of larian's boring gameplay quick
>20%
That's a lot for 100 hours+ RPG that was released recently.
Look at the percentage of achievements of any game on Steam. It's shockingly low. Normies just play slow / drop games. It's nothing new or unique.
>you rolled 1 (1d20, advantage)
this is why people make so many save files.
happened to me more than once
and then after that, i'll get karlach to get 3 crits in a row or high roll damage hits, no fight in this game will ever play out the same way.
This game is more linear than a visual novel and I have yet to see anyone point out just how railroaded everything actually is.
the cope just keeps getting more desperate
>nobody will buy a crpg
>le bear sex l! nobody will buy this! degenerate!
>game releases and proves moron contrarians wrong
>l-l-look at the global achievement stats ! they're still only in act 1!
you homosexuals are pathetic
>game releases and proves moron contrarians wrong
When it arrives at 5-10 million than we are talking.
Larian probably won't release sales numbers, we never got OS2's latest numbers. Private company.
Swen said DOS2 has sold 7.5 million copies like a month ago
He said it sold 3 times as much as OS1, that isn't really concrete numbers. Its based of OS1s last sales update. OS2 could be 10m as far as we know.
And none of that means anything because the game is years old so that info now can't be interpreted.
They STILL aren't releasing the sales data for this game and choosing to use a different metric instead.
You only do that if the sales didn't meet whatever arbitrary threshold you or someone else set.
Yeah, 800k simultaneous players and staying at the top of the Steam best seller list for almost two weeks now means it actually sold like shit because they haven't told us the exact numbers yet
I agree. They would have advertised their sales if they hit whatever internal milestone they were aiming for.
Trying to shift the overton window by relying on a metric people don't use is poor form.
You are a silly person
>argumentum ad absurdum
It is so weird that they will employ every logical fallacy then fall back on attacking /misc/ when said fallacies fail.
He isn't silly. Larian would have been so in your face it isn't funny if their sales were where they wanted them.
No, he's a silly person. "They haven't announced total copies sold yet, that means it failed" is an outright silly argument when faced with what data we do have, i.e. BG3 being the highest-selling game on Steam by revenue for two weeks straight. Do you know how absurdly rare it is for ANY game to unseat CSGO? Let alone for multiple weeks in a row? It smacks of that "business expert" moron who claimed the early launch was because Larian was days from bankruptcy.
Also argumentum ad absurdum isn't a logical fallacy you fricking moron
I think the next cope is that everyone refunded
>the cope just keeps getting more desperate
Not only is the cope getting more desperate, the contrarians are actually becoming more and more unhinged. It's like they've invested their entire egos into predicting that this game will fail, and have spent the last week and a half desperately trying to convince themselves they were right, while everyone else is simply enjoying the game.
Actual sunk cost fallacy
I work 6 days a week and have other games I play, BG3 will take a long ass time just playing an hour or 2 per day like myself. Also if you’re a player who likes to experiment, you’ll get many more hours than someone who just wants to progress the story.
I cannot believe the popularity and numbers for this game is organic
It doesn't make any sense
I almost feel like this is some psyop because this game normalizes all sorts of degen crap
>No... it makes no sense that a fantasy video game is popular
>I'm not the weird one, e-everybody else is!
You are pathetic and delusional. have a nice day.
>only 3 feats that most people won't even take because you need to be raising your primary stat.
>like 30 feats total
0 build variety. pathetic.
Not enough feats per levels to really feel like you have choices. Combat is most of the game so noncombat feats are meme picks in all honesty. Even with Larian buffs to the dogshit ones some feats are still undeniably better than others and with you only being able to pump to 17 max at start, it really pushes you to focus stats first for an 18 in your primary before you think about anything else.
Larian also hates racial builds so all the racials run the gambit from trash to actually worth building something around.
>Combat is most of the game
I feel like I spend more time talking and poking around exploring than fighting tbh
>Not enough feats per levels to really feel like you have choices.
you don't have choices. 99% of the time people choose stat increase. that's not a fricking choice, that's a travesty
There is always lucky, spell sniping and just pure armor proficiency. Do you really need that 19-20 in the main stat in act 2?
i just want to feel like i'm making progress and growing stronger. God, 5th edition is such a shitty fricking system
I think the +2 is the best first feat to pick, higher odds of better rolls, then again there are some very strong alternatives
but high rolls are king, even if you can still roll 1 with +19 str/int/etc.
If you have more feats to pick during progression the others could stand out more instead of just attribute. Half-attributes with strong effects would look more appealing if you weren't so limited.
It's roughly equal for me and with a combat-optimized party I still have too much capability and leeway to make taking noncombat feats worth it.
>reach act 3
>not a single quest except the main quest
>every quest is bugged
>every character is gay
no wonder people are dropping this game...
>if I literally just make shit up, maybe people will stop buying the game!
it's literally the truth, no one bought the game the numbers are all fake
luckily Starfield is coming out soon
poor Starfield having to come out after the best PC game in years
Imagine not having this.
I have this, the game is boring on normal.
The game is boring on tactician as well. Way too easy, even compared to DOS2.
just loot barrels and you will end up with 1000+ camp supplies.
homie I just entered Act II today and I played every day
>hurr durr the game that broke Ganker
>not even a week later people already dropping it
I told you it was just the usual loud minority that praises bioshit-tier cringe romances. I told you bro.
Everyone saw this coming, even (especially) the marketers.
Their cope right now is people just don't care enough to play, but that doesn't mean the game is a failure in any way. It's surreal.
that happens with a lot of games tbh, i too used to look at achievements with intent to see how much players progress in games, and then quickly realized majority of people play only a small portion of any game
the game is massive
it took me like 70 hours to reach act 2 and I played all week
I dont understand how people are finished already or doing a second playthrough
are they just skipping half the content and every dialogue?
Yes, evidently. People who already "beat" it saw a fraction of the stuff you have.
I unironically skip the dialog because I don't care what amateur writers have to say about anything.
kinda funny since I'm playing an MP campaign with friends and an SP one at the same time, and I realize how much time I've saved by skipping through a lot of the dialogue I saw in MP and how many interactions there were with opportunities to talk my way out of things/go alternate routes/do weird little things like at Goblin camp. In my SP one I kinda blitzed through a lot of the goblin camp area and the surrounding places due to that, and I think I entered act 3 at like 75-85 hours. Lotta meat here to chew through.
literally every game with achievements is like that
bro it takes like 30 hours or something and the game has been out for a week. Most of us arent loser freaks who play games for 100 hours a week.
So, what are the must have mods?
Child PC Mod
Shadowheart Thicc
>a futa wiener for you romance of choice
>'alt' shows all objects
>more feats
>various bug fixes
I use "Highlight Everything" and shaders
>Kinda makes one think that all the positive reviews might be bots or redditors overhyping the furry bear sex...
remember the system shock demake bragging that some people had less than 20% something achieved?
pepperidge farm remembers.
>there's a mod that REDUCES carry weight
It's already ridiculous that my gnome can carry 50kg of camping supplies.
Carry weight is an outdated mechanic that was never fun and needs to go. It's fine to have it in games where carry weight has a purpose, like Survival sims or whatever. In rpgs when 90% of players are loot goblins however? frick outa here
I'd be fine with it if you just gave the player a bag of holding to explain it away.

Sorry for bggays, but Barry is yours now
farquad and barry are the same person
y/n?
Neither probably existed. It was just a slanderous name to give anons by people that don't see themselves as anons.
No one really tripgays/namegays anymore so they don't get that anons are just anons. To attempt to label them anything else is to try and attack the messenger and not the message.
Tourists don't understand that anons are shameless, we don't give each other little names like this because it would have no effect and it wouldn't stop someone shitposting.
Discord types do have shame though and do operate on it so they think attacks of that variety work, because it works on them.
Nice try, Barry
Doesn't have an effect since I'm anon.
It isn't silly, but it would appear to be to someone white knighting for an entity as a contrarian persona online.
Farquaad is 100% real
That's what makes me think he isn't real. I only hear about him in these larian threads so I doubt there is a farquad.
In every highly marketed game that Ganker reject the marketers always try to put a label on the people shitposting about their marketing.
The same thing happens over on /tg/ where the same marketers work. On /tg/ the made up nemesis is some dude that doesn't like /edh/ threads. The shills made up a whole fake dox for the guy.
It always happens when the principle people discussing the topic aren't actually anons. Anons don't care about this shit we are just anons here.
Just seems like you don't really frequent WRPG threads because if you did you probably would have encountered him
I do I just ignore the shills trying to lorepost about shit from their discords. It never matters to the thread it's always just complaining because people are shitting on you for trying to shill at them.
Nah you're some Johnny-come-lately /misc/gay who came for the bear sex, I can see it in your beady little eyes
Nope. I just don't accept made up narratives when reality doesn't support it.
Only larian shills see farquad, and they see him everywhere.
It is their own strawman, literally.

NOOOOO HE'S A MADE-UP LARIAN BOOGEYMAN NOOOOOOO
>It is their own strawman, literally.
Quite literally in this case.
Larian shill false flagging. You posting an archive link points to it since actual anons don't give 2 shits about archives (most of us were here before archives existed and simply don't use it at all).
But paranoid people with persona in their anonymity do that kind of thing. They never realize how cringe it looks.
You don't understand this place, that is why you are trying to sell me on some bogeyman. People didn't even complain about Manly Tears this much and that homosexual was quantifiably real.
why would they falseflag their own general, though?

I wonder who is behind this post.
There is a ff16bait thread and it's going slow as frick. He is here, with his number autism and everything
Take care of our schizo
I only started going into BG3 threads because I want to see if the game is worth it on sale, who is farquad? What's his brand of autism?
He's an annoying homosexual who shits up 4-5 boards on the regular with his utter homosexualry.
I meant more like what does he do? Like barry is obsessed with F15 and shitposts about games he feels is in competition with it, ACgay hates games with cutscenes in them.
He's a gay Hispanic obsessed with canon and being gay in WRPGs. Tends to make characters that look like Lord Farquaad and avatargay with them, and cheats his way through games to experience/spoil the story and romance his preferred husbando.
Made up nemesis to the larian shills. They've built a legendarium on him for years.
Tourists always fall into thinking Ganker is 1 person, and they make an effigy of him in their hatred.
an unironic mutt homosexual who comes into every thread about a game that has romances (so, crpgs usually) and starts shitting it up with his gay fantasies
I will forever be surprised with the amount of vocally gay posters on Ganker, a website were gay is a common word.
Icarus effect. They saw what focusing on Barry could do to a fandom and used it to attack anons with.
Farquad only exists if pro-larian discorders are posting in the thread. You'll never hear about it or see him without them mentioning him because he is their creation.
He isn't here in this thread, but watch him magically be in every future BG3 thread for the rest of the day because now they need to manifest him so they'll roleplay as him to make it self fulfilling.
PLEASE NO TAKE IT BACK
I know why XVI pissed him off, but why did BG3 piss him off?
it wasn't a flop like Flopspoken and Flop Floptasy 15
For being popular. He shat on Hi fi rush too because it was too popular at Ganker at some point. He shat on ff7r, neotwewy, dmc5, persona 5....
He got fricked over hi-fi rush
He got fricked over by his obsession with foreskinnen
He will get fricked over by bg3
Simple as.
I have been on Ganker since 2011 and I still don't know who the frick Barry is.
>everyone who doesn't like my mediocre game that would have been ignored ten years ago is Barry!
You people are just as fricking mentally ill as him.
Doesnt this cope ever get old?
No, never. The shills keep bending over backwards to play the game with us so it never actually tires out.
Im still on Act 1 and only have a couple hours a week to play games.
Most people are like this.
We don't all live like neets.
>mfw 80 hours played so far and still in act 2 because the game is buggy as shit and I'm trying to explore everything
I swear, Ubisoft's recent campaign with Mirage being "only 30 hours long" is unironically right. They know they fricked up with the 200h long open world fiesta.
More often than not, long ass games feel like a second job, just like online shit, and they exploit the same OCD tendencies.
why did you spend money and time on something you actively don't enjoy?
I really like fantasy and have OCD kek. But BG3 was a free gift for me.
Now I feel like I'm play testing for free, for homosexuals who ran years of early access. The game has its good moments but certain locations are so buggy it goes beyond save scamming memes and sours the experience.
Not even gonna touch Starfield.
thats how it is for all games you dumb frick
for bg1/2 i had a mod that restored spells after battle. feelsfineman
You guys think they're ever gonna fix Mage Hand Legerdemain? the way itis right now it makes arcane trickster practically worthless
It's summer, you mongoloid. Have you considered that not everyone is a fat loser that lives in mom's basement? Some of us are outside being social and having sex.
the game is dead no one bought it in the first place the playercount was botted no one I know played it so no one else did everyone quit before act 2 because the game is boring act 3 has no content and its all gay and bugged
>none of us bought it
bro, just admit you play genshin impact or fortnight. rest of us out here actually playing good games
>Dragon Quest had to release their games on a weekend because so many people would skip school or work to play the game
>people won't even put an hour into BG3 after work
I'm sensing the real world impact of BG3 is nada.
>Dragon Quest
what a dogshit game
Doesn't matter, you can see the real world effect it's popularity has.
You can see the real world effect of a lack of interest for BG3. Quality is not the issue.
you must live under a rock if you don't think BG3 isn't making waves
He's delusional, like all the Shazamgays on this board. Completely divorced from reality.
It made no waves. People won't even play it when they have free time (according to the marketing team).
When marketers get blown out they resort to 1 of 2 options
>absolute FUD
>porn post hoping thread gets pruned so no evidence of the blowout
Farquad is a literal strawman my dude.
but the /vg/ threads were generally very positive, why would marketers be getting blown out and trying to kill them?
They would be. /vg/ exists as a marketing board specifically. If you've been to that board you know it's all marketing by organized marketing teams cultivating a fanbase.
WotC markets on Ganker, /vg/, and /tg/.
Ok cool, so why would a supposed made-up strawman try to kill those threads?
Because anons don't like marketing so they dont post positively. In their rage the marketer starts spewing FUD.
Why do you think there is such a strange obsession with /misc/ in these threads specifically? Because that is the FUD de jure of this specific group.
When something produces tangible results you replicate it. Farquad is a retread of Barry afterall.
But anons were posting positively in the general
OP post is directing anons to a torrent of the game.
Why oh why would the marketers there try to derail that thread with farquad spam? Oh it's a mystery.
Anon, there is at least one poster that cries "/pol/!" in every Ganker thread, you are obviously a tourist or a shitposter
It's an easy shitpost but it is never applicable. When it happens its someone derailing and in these threads it is only employed when anons are shitting on the game.
If anons shit on the game the international FUD immediately starts up. And it's always a pro-larian voice starting it.
What you are saying makes complete sense but you are applying it completely backwards. It's almost as if you haven't noticed how there are atleast 15 BG3 threads on Ganker up at any one time and out of those 15, 13 are exclusively filled with shitposters while the last two that actually talk about the game are left to 404 from reaching the bump limit or is derailed before it reaches that point and gets saged/deleted
No I have it completely correct. Anons spend a lot of time discussing the marketing tactics employed on them and are pretty solid on how they see it.
We've never been wrong before because we too are shit people and all you have to do to get in the mind of a marketer is think like a shitty person. It's easy when all other anons are here as anons so you can spot the ones that are shilling/marketing instead of just being anon.
You'll notice the farquaad attempt has already fizzled out because anons just kept telling them farquaad was their own made up strawman.
We innately understand the marketing tactics employed against us.
or, you know, the thread is at bump limit and you refuse to accept any evidence or logical arguments presented to you
They aren't logical arguments. You just said I was right but completely backwards. You are just trying to use bargaining language to tell me I'm wrong when I know I'm not.
We see it differently. I'm okay with that. You feel compelled to change my mind for some reason.
that was a different anon, anon. You were literally just making nonsensical, self-defeating arguments when faced with proof so I stopped bothering.
>that was a different anon, anon.
I'm fine with that. Luckily the other anon stopped and you were here to continue his bullshit as if he never left.
Amazin'.
Yes, crazy how more than one person can respond to a moron
Got em!
I'm the guy that said you were right in your method but wrong on execution. You are applying your logic to actual discussion threads instead of the obvious as frick shitposter threads or do you seriously believe that Elden Ring is the worst thing since cancer or that the gacha threads that had minimal or no shitposting (which ended up with a fricking sticky of all things) were all organic? It's glaringly obvious when anti-shills and shills are doing their things and it's happening right fricking now with BG3
I had a co-worker ask if it was worth it to build a new PC for Baldur's Gate 3 after he quit video games in college
That's really cool.
Thats why you only see praises. Act 3 was such a fricking shitshow. It went down in terms of narrative quality heavily, the performance & stability of the game are complete dogshit. Questlines end abruptly.
You go from killing an apostle of god in act 2 to fricking playing Sherlock Holmes in act 3.
Don't forget to take your weekly booster, sister.
I have 40 hours in this game and I am still on act 1 lol
Damn, how fricking big is act 1? I have over 20 hours in and I don't have this cheevo yet.
big
big, you might think resolving the goblin conflict is the end of act 1 but you get 2 new regions after that
>RDR2 on PC is 5 years old but looks and runs miles better than BG3
Yeah I think gaming peaked long ago
easiest ending in the game only has 2.6%
Because most people don't actually want to nuke themselves and end the game early anon, I got it by saves scumming since there is nothing stopping you from pressing F5 right before you make the choice and then loading your save file again after you've gone through with it but I don't think most normies thinks like that
>force myself to murder every single goblin in the castle before realizing I could've just fast traveled out of it
Oops
Game desperately needs a real time limit, my immersion has been destroyed after realizing none of my resting supply management is ever going to matter.
Honestly, 10 hours in, just saved the goblin camp and I feel like I've experienced everything the game has to offer. All that's left is to finish the story, which is pretty boring by now as it's your typical "Go to this guy to fix your issue, wooops he's not the right guy, go to the next place" ad infinitum
I've got like 20 hours and am still in act 1, games been out like a week.
