That's not Alan Wake two.
Why not both?
OP is a gay, so it doesn't matter.
Yes
No
I sincerely think that there are no shills for this game on Ganker and that the love it gets is genuinely just from redditors and degenerates that infest this board.
Game is absolute trash, though. An RPG written by Larian is automatically bad.
It's the LGBT community that thinks calling this game a masterpiece and how it has changed the standard even know good written RPGs with deep mechanics have always existed, what they really mean is the standard that every game has to cater to this exaggerated fanbase and player count by putting 50 gay characters in every game, the voice actor was literally crying because it 'Moved trans people' or something. Does he know the entire industry is run by those people? That's how they get so much power by constantly pretending their not just a minority, but a minority with no power or sphere of influence when that's obviously not the case. It should be be crying that a game like KC:D can still be made and do fairly well in modern times, even though they ironically tried to cause that game to fail which just proves my previous point correct
*Should be me
>it was 800k of THE GAYS that put the game on record high playercounts on release
lmao
Nah, the woke shit can be annoying, but the truth is simpler.
This is really just the most normalgay appealing CRPG that exists, the marvel writing being a big element of that, and the woke shit too to another extent. On top of that, it has a big budget for the genre.
That's the reason for all the popularity. Guaranteed the average BG3 slop player wouldn't be able to find his way in a game even as casualized as Wasteland 2
I've played a bunch of the classics and I liked BG3. sounds like you're hung up on a bunch of Ganker culture war nonsense
still not playing your troony game
You can't astroturf something to this extent. Even if there was heavy astroturf involved somehow, it would never have made it this far if the game didn't actually have the merit to be successful. So from my perspective, it doesn't matter if it was shilled or not. The end result speaks for itself.
>You can't astroturf something to this extent.
Says who? The masses are more gullible than you think.
Says me and common sense. The game had no chance to be this successful if it wasn't good, astroturf or no. You can't astroturf literally any turd.
CRPG's are a fricking dead genre and Larian wants people to believe suddenly everyone wants to go back to Fallout 1 times again. Ask yourself why they haven't released sales figures.
CRPGs are gigabased
Larian is just shit at making them because their writing is garbage
Rogue Trader is kino and there's some recent more obscure indie games that are good too.
Well, it just turns out that CRPGs that are not Fallout 1 level junk, but extremely polished like BG3, are in fact in high demand.
Larianshits don't play actual CRPGs, though. You gays are stuck with your garbage. And That's A Good Thing.
>how do you expect me to know if this game is good or not without the sales numbers
frick off corpo israelite
this guy comprehends
there should be a way to filter it out by countries
im sure there are like hundreds of thousands of virtual machines in china running this game
CRPGs NOW are the exact opposite of dead, you homosexuals seem to forget that the genre was legit dead for near over a decade.
Larian could never react fast enough to reach your ever moving goalposts. I'm too lazy to go get the Shazam copypasta but yeah it's pretty clear to anyone who's been on this board in the past year how increasingly desperate BG3 haters' cope has become lmao. Most content, most popular game on steam, most awards, nothing matters by the esteemed BG3 haters' standards hahaha.
I literally wanted this exact style of gameplay (turn based tactical with emphasis on single/small group of character skill building) and it hardly fricking exists. There is a giant gap in this genre waiting to be filled by better games and BG3 was one of the first to do it decently.
^exactly. I wish there were 20 more games in this style. BG3 was fine but the level design/environments and story were very mediocre. I'd love a game that's much more creative and attractive but with the same sort of mechanics.
it definitely has a lot of merit, but it's really not for everyone which I think resulted in some (justified) anger when people try to say that it's objectively top 5 of all time or whatever
why? the game "is" good, there's legit reasons why this might be in someone's top 5 games
it's not an obviously flawed game like say, Alan Wake 2
Are you too young to have experienced the rise of Friends off the back of Seinfeld? You can absolutely astroturf trash into superstardom.
I think it's CRPGs in general, Rogue Trader is getting the exact same treatment just to a lesser degree.
Attention everyone:
OP is not reading this thread.
OP will not respond to you.
OP does not actually believe the thing he has posted
Your reply will not be seen, and you have no opinion on this topic worth posting.
I'm OP and you are wrong.
>this is how bg3gays respond to dissenting opinions
lol
have a nice day
These are some shit reasons to not respond to a thread. You don't respond to a thread because it's bad, simple ass.
I know, I just use the bg3 hate threads as bg3 generals.
Anyway, the completionist in me is annoyed that there aren’t enough tadpoles in the game to fully infest yourself and three companions at least.
Which powers do you normally go for?
concentrated blast is pretty good, I've been playing a Durge Tempest Cleric/Storm Sorc in my multiplayer game. I'll use witch bolt for an easy level 1 concentrate that does damage, then follow up with concentrated blast. You get the ability to use worm powers as bonus actions from the wiggly remover in the Creche.
yes, it was propped up by sony fans because it wasn’t starfield, and it was propped up by nintendo haters because it wasn’t zelda. Dnd nerds with no taste and women who just play the character creator shoved the game in everyone’s face as a masterpiece. these 4 factors got it to be goty
I've never seen so many threads for a game so many people didn't play
this is my favorite bg3 shill take
>post made that criticizes or speaks poorly about bg3
>"You didn't play it!!!!"
sure but it's apparent 95% of people here didn't play the game, there's no reason it deserves 3-5 threads a day for 5 months
well when the only negative things you have to say about the game are "shilling" and "degeneracy" instead of talking about actual game mechanics yeah that kind of tells me you didn't play the game
I watched dsp play it
you're on Ganker anon. this place is defined by contrarianism
People were just looking for something to get excited over. Nothing else really came out this year. Did you see the other GOTY nominations? It was a grim list.

No good CRPG has this. Skill issue.
>good CRPG
No thing like this exists.
>You will never know the joy of detailed character creation and skill/perk consideration.
Bro, do you even have a soul?
I played through FO1 and 2, that was enough for me.
>detailed character creation
BG3 doesn't even have face sliders. You can't even make a character that looks unique to you, you are stuck with a character 99% of normies could come up with. The opposite is already industry standard for RPGs.
I'm not talking about BG3
BG3 is shit
But by detailed character creation, I'm not talking about the appearance of the character, dummy
I will not believe anything about this game until they release sales figures. Nuff said.
No one played the chinese account botted game. The proof is all over the internet. /tg/gays seething
what is this screenshot supposed to prove? tga never gave goty to the most popular game, it that was the case it would have went to spiderman or zelda since way more normies played those
I'm pretty sure BG3 sold more than both of those.
BG3gays live in a bubble and are under the impression that every single gamer and every normie/casual has played or heard about BG3. Then when social media got flooded with actual normies asking wtf Baldur's Gate 3 is after it won goty the fanbase lost their minds. They keep coping by repeatedly claiming it sold 22 million or 33 million copies or some shit. The whole fanbase is delusional troons.
Wouldn't /tg/ enjoyers hate this slop more than anyone? Baldur's Gate 3 is not a real RPG, it's a putrid visual novel for perverts with comic book writing.
It's cookie cutter tabletop, because larian is a shit studio that can't translate systems or does it poorly. Always were.
It definitely is. Extremely fake hype, extremely forced meme (bear sex), absurd amount of media/journalist shilling, people parroting fake sales numbers around, and an overall ridiculous amount of unwarranted praise for a game that does nothing new or better than something like fricking Dragon Age. Never seen anything quite like this. Shit is surreal.
remove romance and it would be a 9/10
Astroturfed or not I enjoyed it for what it is. Is it a perfect game? Frick no. Is it a solid RPG that gives me Dragon Age Origins nostalgia while offering a lot of content/options without milking my wallet via MTX like most newer games? Yes.
>Is it a solid RPG
no, it's not.
We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one then.
nah, you're just wrong. an rpg has to have good characters and writing to be solid and BG3's is objectively bad.
what are better characters from an rpg in your opinion?
Personal preference, but I liked the characters and the writing was fine. The main quest and side quests kept me engaged all the way through. It's okay if you didn't like it anon.
He's right, you just have really bad taste in that case.
Ignorance is bliss anon. I'll happily be a moron that can still enjoy things for what they are. I mostly play older games so coming into this my expectations were low especially after all the threads I saw here. Ended up having a great time.
No, it's not. Ignorance is hell. I'm happier with the truth and my own self respect than you'll ever be crawling around in shit. Use your time for something more valuable than a garbage tier RPG with Marvel comic book writing.
You don't sound like a very fun person honestly.
Fun isn't a virtue. If how fun somebody is is how you judge them and their character, then you have no sense of merit. A man with integrity is worth more than a man who throws his integrity into the trash for "fun".
>Doubles down on proving how much of a stick in the mud he is
And you're doubling down on proving how much of a senseless flake you are. I'll be enjoying genuine friendship and self esteem while you keep trying to convince yourself that ignorance is fun and that wasting time on the lowest possible bar of entertainment is something to be proud of.
So angry for no reason lmao
Nothing I said comes from a place of anger. You're projecting because you don't like being judged on your own merits.
Ah yes sure anon.
What's a game for us high brow gamers who don't want to waste our time?
God Hand
Tired, cliched, played it ages ago. Got anything else?
Ultrakill is the most fun I've had in months. It skips all the bullshit and gets right into it.
great game but not worthing huffing your own farts over
>has to have good characters and writing to be solid and BG3's is objectively bad
lmao, name a RPG that's come out in the past two decades that you think has objectively good writing anon
>in the past two decades
there hasn't been one. that doesn't make BG3 better, and the fact that you had to include that little caveat really proves the point. even you know BG3 is fricking awful, but you're thirsty for a new game so you try your hardest to ignore the taste of shit mixed in.
>Anon thinks there hasn't been a single well-written RPG in twenty years
That's all I needed to know. It's not that you disliked the game's writing, it's that you're fundamentally a "nostalgia" contrarian that hates RPGs.
Now go back to your containment board, this is for people who enjoy video games.
nta but can you name one? I'm looking for something new to play anyway and if it's better than BG3 I'm already in..
>and if it's better than BG3 I'm already in..
play literally any game, it will be better
Nah don't do that anon. Just give me a name seriously. If I've already played it that's fine.
Depends on your tastes, but obvious examples of games that are fairly "objectively" good in both writing and characterization from the past two decade are
>Disco Elysium
>Mass Effect 1
Played ME1, great game anon. I pirated DE but have yet to sit down and play it. Thanks for the reccs.
Jesus Christ, no. Those games both have fricking awful writing.
Me1 is pretty generic scifi shlock but modern videogame writers WISH they had a job writing scifi original B and C movies
you didn't ask for a well written RPG you dishonest Black person. you asked for an objectively good RPG. if you had asked for a serviceable RPG i'd have said underrail. but it's only serviceable, it's not that good in the writing department.
>you didn't ask for a well written RPG you dishonest Black person
>"name a RPG that's come out in the past two decades that you think has objectively good writing"
Pray tell what the frick I was asking for then you nonce ?
I disagree, but oh well, fair enough.
>Pray tell what the frick I was asking for then you nonce ?
you were asking for an RPG with objectively good writing, you fricking moron. you know there's a difference between "objectively good" and "decent enough", right?
Yes. If you believe that NO Role-Playing game with "objectively" good writing has released since 2004 but that there have been "objectively" bad ones, the problem lies with you and your very obvious contrarianism painted in nostalgia.
no, the problem lies with you and your low standards. you also don't seem to understand the world of difference between something that's objectively good and something that's objectively bad. literally anything can be objectively bad, it doesn't take effort to make shit. making something that's beyond reproach on a technical level is a genuine feat. it doesn't happen often. the overabundance of shitty games doesn't somehow make it more likely that near perfect games would have been made.
>Thinks no RPG with "objectively" good writing has released in 20 years
>Thinks everyone else is the problem
Touch grass anon. I'm not asking for perfect games, just those that have writing that is good according to standards agreeable by most people, which there are, since "objectively" is a meaningless word for artistic works.
There have been RPGs that fairly objectively have good writing.
For example, If you don't believe Disco Elysium is well written according to most standards, metrics and such, you are a contrarian or blind-deaf, objectively.
>Touch grass
i'm not even reading the rest of your post, you're very clearly a braindead npc who just repeats what other people tell him. thanks for outing yourself and saving me the time.
>Thinks everybody is wrong except him
>Won't touch grass
Checks out.
>touch grass
>disco elysium being anything but dogshit
Yeah, that tracks. You're exactly the kind of subhuman who would viciously defend a garbage pile game like BG3. No taste whatsoever.
ironic coming from someone whose entire "taste" consists of just doing the opposite of what's popular
No, I actually like video games. I don't treat them like a status symbol like you do. You HAVE to enjoy the latest slop, because otherwise what would you pretend to like on social media? You have no soul.
>I don't treat videogames a status symbol - person who goes into threads about games he dislikes to announce to everyone he dislikes them
ok
NTA but Disco elysium is great writing. Your denying that is just programming without thought behind. It is well written, undeniably, and you will never actually argue about that because you'd end up looking moronic.
No, it's not. DE is a shitty game with shitty writing and shitty characters.
Name a game with better written characters in the last two decades then, should be easy since it has shitty writing kek
Project Gorgon
Age of Decadence
All of the Spiderweb software games
Quern
Pathologic 2
Sekiro
This really wasn't a difficult task, you set the bar very very fricking low.
>Pathologic 2
>Sekiro
lmao nice writing you got there
>more is better
By the way, I don't know if you are aware, But your IQ is showing.
A young lord blessed with a power surrounded by covetous men who want to abuse his power seeking to end his own life for the sake of ending their ambitions and bringing the world closer to peace is more of a character than anything in Disco Elysium. In DE you're just a drunk loser with a bad personality. That's the whole game. Wow, great writing. No humanity, not virtue, no moral, nothing to look up to or aspire towards. Nothing. Just pure slop.
> Sekiro is great writing !
Schizoids will argue BG3 is redditcore and recommend Fromslop in the same sentence jfk
Nobody said it was great. You asked for "better than Disco Elysium" and that's what you were given. You literally can't even keep track of your own requests, how the frick do you think you get to have an opinion on what's good writing and what isn't? Go back to school.
You're coping lmao
But please, do enjoy your Fromslop
>In DE you're just a drunk loser with a bad personality.
The game gives you dozens of opportunities to help people and get Harry to overcome his personality flaws, with a potential ending being him showing his old squadmates that he's still a compotent police officer and that he managed to solve the case despite all his flaws. Furthermore, the game has a theme of overcoming the past, both on the macro-scale of Revachol moving past its historic conflicts and on the micro-scale of Harry overcoming his alcoholism. It would be one thing to say that you dislike DE, but to say that it doesn't even attempt to have morals is just false.
Nobody's going to wade through dozens of hours of being forced to play as a horrible person with a pathetic addiction just so they can see the game say "hey he got better" in the epilogue. Also nobody gets points for ditching their alcoholism. You shouldn't be an alcoholic in the first place, you don't get any credit for getting yourself out of a situation you put yourself into.
>dozens of hours of being forced to play as a horrible person
You can reject your internal monologue telling you to drink within the first half hour. The decision whether you want to take drugs to boost your stats or abstain and try and make it with lower stats is introduced, again, in the first half hour of gameplay. You can play the protaganist as pure and noble as possible (allowing for failures due to dice roles, which is a basic RPG mechanic) from the first moment of the game. There might be moments where the protagonist unavoidably comes across as pathetic, but the game never forces you to do bad things (again, not counting failures due to dice roles).
The problem is that the theme of the game and the gameplay itself is centered around incontinence. I have no sympathy and no relatability towards incontinent people. A lack of willpower is a very disgusting and pathetic trait.
this game was made for people that cut their wieners off to try and get better privileges
>I have no sympathy and no relatability towards incontinent people.
The original point was about writing quality not moral values. A character can be pathetic but still be well-written because they are realistic, explore a certain theme, or because the quality of the writing itself is good in terms of language, imagery etc. It's like arguing e-girlta is badly-written, ignoring Nabokov's attention to language, just because the protagonist is a bad person.
wew lad you really stepped in it now.
>Fire Emblem: Three Houses
>Disco Elysium
>It Takes Two
and I don't even play games.
>Disco Elysium
>DE is a shitty game with shitty writing and shitty characters.
lmao, so is DE a shitty written game or not ? Make up your fricking mind if you want to barge in a thread you haven't read anon
What kind of autistic sperg thinks normies are posting vidya games on their social media, unless they're getting paid to do so or are an actual child?
Yeah, that's the thing Larianredditors don't get
Stuff like Kenshi or Underrail don't have some incredible amazing writing or anything. But it's serviceable. It's there. It's the equivalent of say, Wasteland 2's graphics (Another game with competent writing). No one is gonna say that it's GOOD. But it serves its purpose and it does it well. And in Kenshi and Underrail's case, they are very simplistic.
Larian's writing and characters actively DETRACT from the game. Their RPGs are lowered into dogshit for how unfun it is to try to engage with them at any level other than the "Kill everything" perspective.
>Kenshi
>underrail
>dogshit for how unfun it is to try to engage with them at any level other than the "Kill everything" perspective.
The irony of this comment won't be lost on me.
There's no irony whatsoever and you're a moron when even you spell the answer out and still don't understand.
So close to getting the point, and yet so far.
Oh there is irony alright, going out of your way to quote Kenshi and Underrail to contrast with a game being dogshit unless you go out of your way to kill everyone is very ironic kek
in what way do bg3's characters detract from the game? do you have an exemple?
Every companion in this game is like something you'd see out of a Marvel movie if they were fantasy instead of capeshit. No exceptions. Unbearable reddit writing.
>Every companion in this game is like something you'd see out of a Marvel movie
I would believe this more if they couldn't stop telling jokes every 5 minutes and always no matter what succeeded while having no actual personal problems outside of being perfect all the time. In the game this isn't the case at all though.
>muh marvel quips
it's just a meaningless buzzword people here use to signal to others they are also contrarians
Yeah that makes sense, I guess the closest you can say to that are Astorion and Gale, but everyone else is either secretive, an butthole, or so hung up on their problems that include terminal illnesses and living in fear that the marvel comparison falls apart pretty quick.
if you haven't played the game at least look up the companion's dialogue on youtube if you want to shitpost about it, the fact that Laezel and Minthara exist alone disprove the they "all talk like cali/marvel people" meme
The characters are obnoxious. You just have no frame of refence because you immerse yourself in obnoxious subhuman personalities on a daily basis.
>Reads Tolkien
>Full of songs and cringe dialogue like
>My dear Bagginses and Boffins, he began again; and my dear Tooks and Brandybucks, and Grubbs, and Chubbs, and Burrowses, and Hornblowers, and Bolgers, Bracegirdles, Goodbodies, Brockhouses and Proudfoots. ‘ProudFEET!’ shouted an elderly hobbit from the back of the pavilion. His name, of course, was Proudfoot, and well merited; his feet were large, exceptionally furry, and both were on the table.
Is Tolkien Reddit ? Is everything Fantasy related Reddit ?
Yeah Tolkien is reddit as frick
Here, I'll explain it neatly for you. Redditors are largely (and statistically) young, college educated (usually some easy social science degree like psychology) and left-leaning. They have extremely basic, normie opinions, tastes, and humor, but because of their shitty meme science degrees they have an inflated sense of intelligence and pseudointellectualism. Tolkien is not any of these things, he just has some goofy humor. (Similar to old-fashioned Ganker which had extremely goofy but unusual and non-normie humor.)
The difference is that the reddit humor is deliberately trying to be quirky (and failing).
It's funny seeing anons who'd rather believe buzzwords than play or watch footage of the game.
They're obnoxious and have terrible personalities, and they all talk like modern Californians. Not a single one of them has even one redeeming quality.
Based
BG3 is trash because of the Larian writing, it really is that simple.
If your game has garbage characters and writing, it's not a good RPG.
>Muh objectively good
Here's a list of games released in the past year that have writing that is at least 5 times better than Larianredditslop
>Rogue Trader
>Colony Ship
>King Arthur: Knight's Tale
>Expeditions Rome
These games are better RPGs. Simple as.
>Rogue Trader
>Not reddit slop
Anon, 40k is pure distilled reddit essence made to sell edgy funko-pops
Look, dude, I'm not the biggest fan of Warhammer. In fact, I prefer Forgotten Realms to Warhammer 40k grimdark. (Though they're both not great)
But Rogue Trader does a good job at filtering that as well as you can. BG3 is unbearable Larianslop.
You're a fricking moron.
40k is like the only fictional setting we have left that hasn't been pozzed by homosexuals and destroyed completely.
Imagine comparing a tabletop war game to fricking funko pops. Cope more Black person.
>Rogue Trader
>Expeditions Rome
>good writing
lol
I like how of the games you listed, only two got any attention out of 4.
Anyways
>Colony Ship
Has a shitty act 3 that ruined the game for me. But I enjoyed the world building, especially the hydroponics. Honestly I wished the game focused on that, we don't get much mutated animal games.
yeah, yeah it is.
>A game is great, appreciated by 97%+ of players and most anons
>Somehow election tourists seethe at culture war stuff and pretend it's astroturfed
Like pottery.
No
You don't even know what astroturfing means, newbie
>the most obviously astroturfed game
Maybe not, but Valorant is either no.1 or no.2 behind it like all Tencent shilled sloppa
Is Druid of the land worth playing? or should I do spore Druid?
Land druid is okay early on with the classic druid CC kit. It quickly loses out to sorc as the levels climb though. Spore druid is a bit of a mix, mostly bad.
If you want a fun druid experience you should probably add some mods (there are a bunch of really good ones).
nta but you know anything about storm sorc mods? friend who is a tabletop gay says storm sorc ingame is pretty nerfed, and that there is a mod to give it loads of stuff.
We all agree that OP is in fact, a homosexual.
It's just a game that appeased normalhomosexuals just right. I played it and thought it was shit but I can see why people would like it. It's basically DnD made accessible to the masses.
>Free Druid from Goblin Prison
>Want to fight my way out
>Hobgoblin homosexual wrecks me
the cope this far out of release is just sad. the game is a massive hit, no amount of your crying on here will change that
i first heard about it on south park, then i though i ought to try it out from fitgirl
while downloading it i looked at reviews online and realized it was a troony game for other homosexual trannies
i stopped the download and deleted it
>South park told him to check it out
>He crowdsourced his opinion rather than thinking for himself
Most sheep-like thing I've heard today.
Yes, it's clear that the hate for this game is totally artificial. Probably just pushed by a single autist
>Larianredditors pretending their shit game isn't reddit incarnate
This is my favorite part of these threads: It's when I post screenshots!
>Anything slightly goofy in a game
REDDIT REDDIT OH MY GOD OTHER WEBSITE
the people crying about any jokes in the game never played BG, even up to Throne of Bhaal has jokes in it.
most of the people crying about bg3 don't even play crpgs
It's just the jokes are shit only a redditor could laugh at
at this point I would trust reddit to have a better sense of humor considering most people's idea of a joke here is caricatures of the objects of their obsession.
Didn't ask.
this is exactly what I mean. you had so much time to come up with something funny and witty to respond with, and instead you settle for that.

I never played dnd and thought bg3 combat looked like watered down disgaea. Then a friend got it for me as a gift and I've clocked about 300 hours into it. astroturfed or not, its fun. I'm just happy that zelda didn't win GOTY. Frick tendies.
All turn based tactics systems are derived from or inspired by table top systems, including 4 homies in a row combat since Wizardry, Bards Tale and Might & Magic were inspired by D&D.
5th Edition DnD is basically fantasy themed Nu-XCOM.
Yeah, you're astroturfing it right now.
>No, I'm just pointing out the game sucks!
So why post another thread about it? Unless you want more eyes on it.
Larian's games can just be perfectly described with "xD". That should be their tag on steam.
Are these supposed to be bad?
They're pretty fricking awful. Have you never been exposed to real writing before? Because this stuff isn't tolerable to people to actually read books.
Seems like you guys are desperately looking for anything to complain about. I don't see anything super egregious here.
Seems like you're being overly defensive of your favorite game's shit reddit writing. Very sad to hear. Did you do this for Borderlands too?
>favorite game
kek you're trying really hard. I pirated it and enjoyed it but relax.
Because you're a tasteless slop consumer who lost his ability to sense good from bad.
Oh man I sure am a sheeple for disgreeing with you and the currently acceptable opinion Ganker. Sorry I enjoyed something without nitpicking it to death so I could look fit in on the internet.
>You're just le contrarian
>You're just le nostalgiagay
So glad Rogue Trader is out now and I can point out to a new and relatively popular CRPG that shits all over your redditcore shit. And a fricking grimdark Warhammer game at that, no less.
Try deflecting onto muh Starfield and muh Tendies next, bro. That's where you lariangays go next. For me, I stay consistent: You're a redditor.
>owlcat game
>real writing
Oh god, frick. I'm not defending BG3's writing by any stretch but for the love of god, please use a different example.
Unironically torrenting rogue trader now, if it's good then I'm in for a good time. It's called not being so bitter that you can't enjoy things.
>You're a redditor
Oh no. Oh god? Does this mean I use more than one website? Wow that's really bad. How will I ever recover from this lmao
>It's called not being so bitter that you can't enjoy things
You mean like I enjoyed Rogue Trader? Where was my bitterness then.
BG3 makes me bitter for the same all other Larianshit does: They couldn't make good RPGs t save their lives.

>Heh, our game may have insufferable reddit writing, but look, your romances are doo doo. Are your companions even playersexual?
Even when you try denigrating other games, you reveal yourself for what you are, larianredditor.
>pretending owlkeks care about anything other than romance
I've seen your threads homosexual, although I can't blame you considering the game barely works so it's not like there's much to talk about besides romance
I'm not even an "owlkek". Wrath was shit. Kingmaker was alright (Much better than any Larianshit).
I just play good CRPGs, and Larianshit doesn't fit that mold. Simple as.
>kingmaker was alright
lol
>I just play good CRPGs, and Larianshit doesn't fit that mold. Simple as.
yeah neither does cuck trader sorry to say owlkek
Underrail is pretty much a straight dungeoncrawler bro, it's not even comparable. It's closer to fricking Diablo than something like Icewind Dale.
>I can't tell good writing apart from bad
Yeah, we know. You defend Larianslop.
>xD
Ganker is just mad because people are enjoying a game from a small studio that actually released a early access success. Is it mediocre? Yes. Do other cRPGs blow it out of the water? Yes. Is it a full game that didnt scam people of their time and money? Yes.
You can nitpick about how "woke" it is but its nowhere near the shit that was pulled in Wrath of the Righteous. Its a pretty game that is entirely mediocre with a competent vision of what it wanted to be. Thats it. Also Minthy and Shadowcute basically sold the game, theres a lot of people myself included who just like Faerun as much as we hate modern D&D.
>Is it mediocre? Yes. Do other cRPGs blow it out of the water? Yes.
based
Didn't read the rest of the post, this guy is right.
> small studio
literally a larger production team than Starfield
>Ganker is just mad
is it though? seems most people are just tired of these stupid threads filled with stupid people that are so stupid they can't even talk about a videogame
why come into a thread about shit you don't like?

Cope divinitroony.
Why do larianredditors think "You can choose to ignore all the moronic dialogue options that infest the game" and "You can kill every annoying character you meet (Everyone)" are good excuses?
I'd just rather play a RPG where I had a tough time thinking of which option I'd want to choose and where I like the characters I interact with tbqh
because secretly they don't want you playing "their" game, and therefore they do not care about profits or community success, only the political side. if the political side is satisfied, everything else follows, not the other way around.
frankly you should be able to join the dead three but with upper city getting cut and parts of the story being very linear I would not hold my breath
Because you are a moron that hates everyone, and there is an option for you. You will not use it, because as a certified rightoids you cant play anything leftards approved first because that would mean you agree with them. The very same thing that happened to Hogwarts.
what the frick are you talking about anon? a crapton of "rightoids" shilled for Hogwarts despite it being more of a woke game than BG3
they actually convinced themselves they were owning the "libs" even though they were just endorsing a faction of leftoids that just so happen to understand human biology
Feminized imbeciles think that anger and revulsion of their behavior is an illegitimate emotion. That is why every gay defending garbage are nothing but flippant dismissal.
>nowhere near the shit that was pulled in Wrath of the Righteous
Larian hired an actual sex offender troony to voice a canon troony character. That's as evil as it gets.
no they hired a drag queen to voice a minor drag queen npc who's in the literal circus, wrath had your major ally NPC be a transexual lesbian
The drag queen isn't the troony I'm talking about. I'm talking about the actual child groomer named "Philosophytube".
They hired a professional groomer who tells kids to become trannies on breadtube. Pathfinder is awful for having a troony character, BG3 is worse for funding an actual troony groomer who built his life around grooming kids on the internet.
a one off character you see for 10mins that you can kill or entirely avoid, not some forced party member Black person lesbian who I might add is forced on you in the first 5 mins of the game and is rubbed in your face about how lesbian and troonypilled she is.
Why are you acting like this is a contest? Both are unacceptable. Neither one should be played by people who value their integrity.
>MUH INTEGRITY
>Arguing about people enjoying a video game on the video game board like a manchild
I'm arguing against supporting a company that willingly employed an actual proven groomer pedophile. Screeching "BUT I'M HAVING FUN" is not an argument against my point.
>He actually pays attention to names when viewing the credits and then looks them up on linkedin
Larian literally advertised it themselves, they were proud of getting a youtuber troony who grooms kids as a voice in their game.
If there is one thing I admire about you. It's your relentless spirit to find a way to think about trannies no matter what, both in game and off game.
I don't go looking for them. I just reject them and anybody who supports them when they come to me. It's not my fault that they're getting forced everywhere. The real question is why aren't you as principled? Why can't you put down your toys for one second to do what's right and reject trannies, too?
>reject trannies
Damn dude why do you keep getting hit on by trannies?
I’m not moronic so I don’t care about transsexuals.
Then you're both moronic and immoral. All trannies are groomers who hurt people.
>n-no u!
Go back
then you're just a bad person. good people don't sit idly by while death cults are killing people.
Back to your containment board /misc/tard, you're a snowflake if you're triggered and screaming muh children for media having drag queens.
I don't care about the drag queen. I care about the actual professional groomer who makes a living off of lying to underaged kids about gender bullshit on youtube.
This is why BG3 won GOTY, whenever you wonder why just picture this image in your head. This is without mods, this is full vanilla gameplay. Is this a coomer game? Yes it is, and thats why its GOTY.
Very true
nobody told me bg3 looked like THAT
This is true.
Make larian release the *percentage playtime full party nude/undies* stats.
They won’t.
Ugh I'm gonna GOON
Alan wake exist
I had fun and you guys couldn't stop me. At its core, the game's basically just banging action figures together. Probably won't play it again though. It's a bit of a slog once you get an idea of what to expect and try to plan things out to find bits you overlooked.
>It's a bit of a slog
I've never heard anyone NOT say this about a larian game.
okay, can someone explain to me exactly how Larian, a company that was near bankrupt 10 years ago and had to basically build all of the money they have off of the sales of exactly 2 games, has the funding, to create the largest astroturf campaign in gaming history?
Like, how come, Larian, a company with little to no deep reserves, could spend hundreds of millions on this, managing to outdo, EA, Acti-blizz, Epic, Nintendo and even Microsft?
Like, where did they conjure up that money?
And before you say Tencent, why would Tencent, investing hundreds of millions promoting a game they only see a small percentage of return on, having only a minority share in a single subsidiary of a private corporation?
Even if it's some culture war thing, they why didn't they invest those hundreds of millions promoting games that are drastically worse in culture war stuff like the Horizon games where the world was literally destroyed because racist whites refused to embrace immigrants?
Or a game like GoW: Ragnarok that's all about emasculating white males?
Hell, the "good" ending for the most popular companion in BG3 is her embracing, voluntarily, tradwife status
Like, how does any of this make sense?
>hundreds of millions
The budget is just above 100M, they got money from tencent
already addressed that
why would Tencent spend hundreds of millions on a game they have 0 control over and would only see a result of 20 million on it if it made a billion dollar in profit?
>why would Tencent spend hundreds of millions on a game they have 0 control over
If you look at tencent history you will see that they never interfere with development process anyway. In PC gaming at least
>would only see a result of 20 million on it if it made a billion dollar in profit
They would get 300M from 1B
Tencent only owns 30% of a subsidiary that makes up about 6% of Larian
they own 2%
Also unlike the companies they actually own, they can't do anything about Larian, it's a private company owned with a comfortable majority by 1 person
by comparison, Tencent owns 1/3th of what his wife owns, and she's uninvolved with the running of the company
The actual answer is because Tencent is looking for a diversified investment in the entire industry, which is why they get non-controlling stakes in so many companies.
They don't care about control, they literally just think the market will keep growing and to invest.
sure diversified investments make sense, them putting money into Larian and expecting return, classic business
what however doesn't make sense is them investing hundreds of millions into a marketing campaign for a single game of one of their smallest investments
Probably part of the deal. Since tencent has the infrastructure to run the campaign.
but WHY?
Even in the case BG3 makes a billion dollar in profit (remember this is a single sale game with NO cosmetic DLC) they would still only get 20 million, how in the world could they justify making the largest advertising campaign in gaming history, spending hundreds of millions on it
think about that for a second
Yes, because they clearly didn't and that's schizo shit.
To push homosexualry to be more accepted to destroy the west faster so they can take over.
Almost all the gay pushing in media is foreign interests.
Just because you refuse to believe the truth doesn't make you correct, they literally openly state that they do this and their goals.
Just bury your head in the sand again hylic, if you haven't woke up yet you probably aren't able to anyway.
Do /misc/tards know that killing every woman, minority, and LGBT person in this game is a viable option? I imagine they would whine a lot less if they knew the game about choice included choices they like.
Shills cope with nobody liking this game by saying that you can kill a bunch of the npcs, which is weird
>nobody liking the game
There's only one person coping here lmao. shoo shoo
They don’t care. They’re triggered by it even being there.
what about the fact that the only troony in the game is the necromancer leader of a CIRCUS
that's right the only troony in the game is a circus freak using evil magic (yes in D&D necromancy is always evil)
No, but everyone can agree that OP is a massive homosexual
sure
Reminder that nothing you can do will change BG3 being objectively the best RPG released this millenium
>b-b-but it's not written like a fantasy novel so it's got "bad writing"
Doesn't matter. BG3 allows for actual meaningful player choice with actual class/race options that do things
>b-b-but the gays
Incorrect. In no universe are playersexual characters less gay than making characters explicitly gay/straight lik every other RPG
>b-b-but the gameplay is bad
No. BG3 is the only RPG in decades to put real thought into encounter design for every single encounter, with meaningful environmental interaction being core to the combat rather than mashing stat blocks together.
Nothing you can say will change this. Everyone who's played it knows you morons b***hing and moaning are lying through your teeth because you think it's on the other side of the culture war. You've lost.
Now that they added in the epilogue, how much unimplemented stuff is left over?
die mad lmfao
Nah, game is pretty good and you are just a contrarian.
Seethe and cope.
Game's great. Stay mad.
>ip count didn't go up
Contained my first post in the thread.
Stop relying on a feature you don't know how to use.
Cope troony
can't you just move on, it came out like a fricking year ago, it was good, overrated yeah but refreshing by todays standards, and by refreshing i don't mean anything new, just alot of old design philosophies. move on ffs
>NNNNNNNYYYOOOO THERE ARE MINORITIES IN LE GAME NYYYOOOOOO THIS IS HUWHITE GENOCIDE THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO KILL ALL BLACK PEOPLE
It was astroturfed in a way(ESG, subsequent partnership with all the typical game "journalist" outlets, being given its flowers at the corporate game awards show, its modding community)
However the game is genuinely fun, and some of the characters do help to make the game seem timeless.
It's not perfect by any means though. You need mods to help tamp down some of the checkboxy stuff, but other than that I enjoy it.
>some of the characters do help to make the game seem timeless.
nobody will remember a single character from this game in a month
No, I do think people will remember characters like Withers & Raphael. Not to mention some of the typical waifu options.
People will not remember Astarion or Wyll though. those characters are going to be the next Hugo or Bonanza Bros. Or the Sages from the first Jak and Daxter.
>Withers & Raphael
who?
cool gimmick
>Who is withers
He's the skelly you meet in the first dungeon. If you're nice to him he comes to your camp and let's you respec your character and hire hirelings if you don't want to bring any of the main companions. If you missed him and never woke him up in the coffin then that sucks for your playthrough.
>a vendor npc that breaks the fourth wall
>this is the writing people will remember
you're kidding right
I wasn't the same anon, I was just pointing out that you should wake him up in case you need him later. His ominous shit didn't do much for me but I liked having him around and he gets brought up often over in the /vg/ threads with jokes about him.
That's cool
No
>breaks the fourth wall
How often does he do this?
I mean look Withers might seem basic and boring to the low-attention spans of today but his character is:
>completely immersed in the world
>serves the story
>doesn't try to impose BS californicated nonsense on you
>has a reason for joining with you that you find out later
he has charm, unlike certain other characters in the game. It's not hard to understand why people would remember him
>EVERY GAME MUST BE WAHOO YIPE WAAA
>OR RAH, RAH, RAH BLONDE BOY IN A GREEN CLOTHING DOING GAY SEX NOISES
>OR DODGE, DODGE, ATTACK, DODGE, ATACK, DODGE, DODGE, DODGE, ATTACK, USE FLASK...
>YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
>t. Ganker zoomer
>1 week later and the tendies are still shitting and pissing themselves and crying about being humiliated by swen
Would have been a lot cooler if that was an armor set from the game. You got enough frick you money to show up to some shitty awards show in a suite of armor, might as well go all out and have it be something more meaningful.
Always do the opposite of what Ganker says and always believe the opposite of what Ganker believes.
the only place where people talk every single day about the gay options in bg3 is here
you can go to youtube, twitter, other forums, and rest assure, people comment about it, but not as much as Ganker, bg3 take ours and ours and ours to complete and you will see something gay for less than a minute inside those hours if you just say "No thanks frick off gale" for example, then that's it, its never brought up again
larian broke Ganker's mind
>anudda shadowcuck avatartroony
Divinitrash 3 sucks.
What he said is objectively true though.
You mean the part where he said that you'll see actual discussion about the game's dialog only when you lurk bg3 threads on Ganker? I believe that this imageboard buckbroke him, and not the other way around.
it's ok but has nothing on bg2
CRPG bros, how are doing after seeing this thread?
Show me your Hero.
Nah it's actually good.
>astroturfed
I think there were words you could have used here to make a coherent question that people will universally understand
I wish there was VR sex simulator with Gale, I would give him my virginity
Why does no one have any argument against the writing in this game being genuinely terrible
Simple language, simple structure, simple characterization. It feels almost patronizing
everybody knows the writing is terrible, it's a larian game
How is Astarion characterization "simple". Even Gale has more than one side to him
Shut up homosexual.
Answer me first b***h
It's because Astarion is:
"LE homosexual QUIRKY VAMPIRE"
No. I'd like to believe Rockstar games are, because I'd like to believe Ganker doesn't actually play 90 IQ Black person simulator slop, but I know that's wishful thinking.
This is 5e The Game, of course people were excited for it, and it ended up being fine.
Yes
do they even need to astroturf now that over 50% of the population are literal vax zombies?
>tencentschizo is still raging and making threads like these
heh
