I never even heard of this game until like a week ago and the only gameplay related discussion I have found anywhere was that someone said it's turn based and modeled after D&D. I got so frustrated trying to find out what the actual fricking game is that I looked up a let's play for the first time in a decade and the hour of gameplay that I panned through was 50% cutscenes, 20% character creation, 20% walking around, and 10% combat wherein the guy playing use maybe like three of the available buttons. The guy playing wouldn't comment on what he was even doing, instead talking about how nice everything looked and how the voices sound good.
I'm still not fully convinced that this is an actual game because NOBODY FRICKING TALKS ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY. I don't understand how so many people are interested in this when it's nigh impossible to find out what the actual GAME part of the game is.
I've played RPGs before but the way people talk about this one you would have thought it was a first person thing like TES. I read like a dozen threads about the game here and honestly did not know that that wasn't the case until I watched the let's play.
The gameplay is literally just dnd combat, ie. turn-based tactics game with different classes.
Most of the time is spent talking to npc's and exploring though, what else would an rpg be good for if not for that
Is the combat similar to/as good as xcom? The let's play kind of gave that impression but between the guy not explaining things and there being such an insane number of UI elements I'm honestly not sure.
It's like that yeah but not as tactical. No explicit cover mechanics, no destructible environments outside of a few select areas and such. It leans more into space control and mitigating risks by using spell buffs.
It's fun, but the meat of the game is in its story and roleplaying for sure. Never in a million years would I buy this game solely for the tactics shit.
Thank you. First genuine opinion on the actual gameplay that I've read here out of hundreds of posts. Might just replay xcom and pass on this one then.
It's literally a game that's made to pander to zoomers. Nobody has ever heard of baldur's gate before this like five night at freddys or like Friday night funkin where it just became popular out of nowhere thanks to zoomers all liking it since it trends on tiktok.
This. Zoomers love reading dialogue. Zoomers love making decisions. Zoomers love tasks that require multiple dynamic steps to complete. Zoomers love slow strategic combat. Zoomers love having to pay attention. Everyone knows this.
>he's wildly out of the loop and out of touch with society >he tries to inform himself by watching streamers >he's too adhd+autistic+moronic to even watch the videos he found anyway
I think you might be every single problem with the world today wrapped up in one fat ugly package
I am the most in touch with vidya person on the fricking board, it's just that I play video games instead of watching twitch streamers and falling for viral marketing so hype doesn't work on me.
>>he tries to inform himself by watching streamers
Also I tried a LOT more than that, if you'd have read my posts here you'd know that. The issue is that NOBODY talks about the gameplay. I typically never, ever watch gameplay videos but had to here because hype riddled spastics refuse to actually tell you about the game 99.999% of the time.
>The issue is that NOBODY talks about the gameplay
Why do all of you spergs say this? When do you ever see people typing about the gameplay of any game on a forum? Never? Go show me a post describing elden rings gameplay. Show me somebody "talking about" frostpunks gameplay.
People talk about weapons and and bosses all the time in ER threads. Even the posts that make of the game or b***h about it make fun of the dodge roll spam or the the open world being sloppy
What the frick do you even want you troglodyte? Can you actully put it into words or your reading comprehension is too low to do that? You want to see what the game is about? Theres one quadrillion different videos on youtube talking about class building and customization alone. Just go and see them for yourself. If you are waiting for someone to diggest what the game is about in 10 words or less because your brain lacks the processing power to understand anything more than that then thats your problem
Being a D&D game actually limits it. If you want a tactical RPG then you're better off with Divinity Original Sin 2 by the same devs. Amazing game if you have a friend to play it with that also likes those sorts of games.
it's a turn based combat role-playing game set in Faerun, the DND world. It's based on DND.
I can show you what a telltale game is like to play and it would be functionally the same percentage of time dedicated to stuff that's not gameplay, except there's even less to think about outside of the "gameplay"
You either have to watch someone start the game and learn to play it for the first time to grasp it (large time investment) or play it yourself (also large time investment but you have fun because you make the choices)
Seious question. Does it have traces of trans/gay/Black folk/Lgbt+/white people hate/feminism or anything woke in it? If the answer on any of this is yes, then into the trash it goes for me
Haven't met any trannies yet. There's nothing about gender identity (apart from a non-binary identity thing in the character creator) or anything about feminism yet either. Like in the story and game itself there's no hints of it.
Very few black characters but also since it's fantasy, human "races" are never really touched upon, it's all fantasy racism.
Characters are pretty lax about sex and your companions don't care whether or not you're a man or a woman, they'll let you hit anyway.
zoomers just don't have the attention span for rpgs. or are the 15 year olds gen alpha now? regardless, they're adhd addled brains can't comprehend reading something longer than a tweet.
People have different tastes Anon. I personally can't understand how people can enjoy stuff like dwarf fortress but there are people who do. If someone actually has fun then let them have their fun.
Not really, I bought it cause I've been starved for good AAA production value WRPGs, and I want more of them. Last one was like Mass Effect 2 or something.
why do you care
Because I am emotionally invested in this game failing and now that I am losing I can't stop shitting my diaper over it
Because the game only lets you make characters with small boobs, it deserves to fail.
I pirated it because it's the first high-budget game in forever that actually allows you to roleplay. It's fun and I'm enjoying it.
shouldnt you buy it now that you got to try it and and enjoy it?
I'll buy it in a year maybe. I have zero money right now (I'm a student) and when my check arrives Starfield will be out.
no you wont
>just because it's new
B-b-but muh funneh bear wiener meme...
i wanna have a full Ganker party lets goo !!!!
i call dibs on being the bard
It’s the opposite. They had 3 years to sell the game so the numbers being big aren’t surprising.
Haha I bet you were one of those Black folk spewing that it would flop and now you are in full seethe.

Oh yeah and I should mention that I even watched the trailer for the game on Steam and the cinematic bullshit didn't make it any clearer either.

The correct rebuttal would have been to say something, anything, about the gameolay of BG3. You've proved my point
>uhh uhhh mm the onus is ON YOU TO PROVE MY moronic CLAIMS WRONG
Nah

There is one absurdly over the top queerness gay vampire companion you find right after the tutorial. He's like reaver from fable 2 dialed up to 11
aaaand into the trash it goes. Thanks anon. I can spend my money on something worth my hard earned money
Yes. There's a black person in it. We Superior Aryans tremble at the sight of a black person. No true Aryan man should buy this game.
>just because it's new
I think it's more than that, they nuy it and they "overwhelmingly" like it
I can't wait until you zoomies go back to school holy shit
The sheer anguish BG3's success is causing on Ganker warms my heart.
Wait so this game is basically medevil xcom?
it's xcom with even less story
/ourboi/ asmon said to do it so here we are.
Wow, he's a brainless consoomer just like me fr.
Who the frick buys a product they have zero plans on ever using? Especially at full price?
>Who the frick buys a product they have zero plans on ever using?
the millions of zoomoids who follow ecelebs and do whatever they do
If you watch the video he explains that he did it to simply support the developers
50% gay dating sim
I watched like 3 streams of it and they were all just walking around talking to people
The frick did you expect from an RPG?
zoomers just don't have the attention span for rpgs. or are the 15 year olds gen alpha now? regardless, they're adhd addled brains can't comprehend reading something longer than a tweet.
>i'm playing this game because it's fun
how do you respond without sounding mad?
it's only artificial fun
People have different tastes Anon. I personally can't understand how people can enjoy stuff like dwarf fortress but there are people who do. If someone actually has fun then let them have their fun.
Can't wait until the PS5 release creates a whole new generation of CRPG fans
Not really, I bought it cause I've been starved for good AAA production value WRPGs, and I want more of them. Last one was like Mass Effect 2 or something.
