Production values, they don't hate lots of dialogue if it's got 6/10 animation behind it and it's just a way to channel their desire to play D&D (They've never played D&D in their life they just saw The Big Bang Theory say it was cool and have no actual drive to play it since it requires work on both the DM and player's part to have more fun than "I roll to hit goblin" x200) without the """downside""" of not having something visual to look at when they do their actions
tl;dr npc behavior
Did you just wake up from 2016 or something? Current day normies are not watching fricking big bang theory lmao. It’s literally just social media word of mouth. Once the zeitgeist decided this was the greatest game ever, 90% of normies who have never even heard of an rpg play a game that takes like 80 hours to beat and also agree it’s the greatest thing ever.
>NPC Deduction and Opinion
D&D is a popular franchise, that has recently regain steam, and this is big production videogame with lots of little details. >Plus it's multiplayer. >Plus Larian is a popular CRPG maker with two highly acclaimed titles under their belt. >Plus it had hype from the demo.
Reboots are treated as whole new IPs in the eyes of the majority as well. They haven't heard of Baldur's Gate, so it might as well be wholly original to them. This game was a guaranteed hit, there wasn't much surprise with it being GOTY.
you are poisoned. you've made up a load of people to feel better than and you're going on schizo rants about them enjoying a thing that you like in the wrong way. get some perspective for your own sake.
Anon it looks like HIRE THIS MAN tech demo mongrels could do a better job than the actual BG3 devs when it comes to production values.
The game looks THAT shit.
>bitches about Dungeon's and Dragon's gameplay >Shows a fighter attack like 9 attacks on a single turn
Looks like a level 12 Fighter to me. You seemingly don't know shit about Dungeon's and dragons. Fighter might not be able to pull off fancy magic bullshit to nuke a room but after like level 7 he's a fricking living beyblade of destruction.
Games that are focused on long out-of-gameplay conversations with your party members have been pretty consistently successful, see Mass Effect 2 and Persona.
>normies hate turn based games and lots of dialogue.
Publishers have tried convincing people that's the case, but gaming at the time was simply overshadowed by the rise of 7th generation and a LOT more people getting into visually impressive games whereas RPGs had different priorities.
Depends on the turn based game.
JRPGs? Yes. It's just selecting menus.
Not that JRPGs suck but they carry the gameplay with stuff like worlds, characters, story.
BG3 is the type of turn based combat that's good. Larian makes good turnbased combat, it's why Divinity OS catched on.
normies hate turn based games and lots of dialogue. why is this shit popping off??
>lots of dialogue
What the frick are you talking about? >normies hate turn based games
Not the kind Larian makes. Not all turnbased RPGs do the "select thing from menu" thing
All this tells me is you're proving JRPGs have mogged westoids since the 90s and continue to do so even after BG3, yet westoids will continue to cope about this.
>why is this shit popping off??
It's really only popular among CRPG nerds and the autistic Bioware fanbase who needed another gay dating sim to replace Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
Look at youtube or tiktok comments for any BG3 video. They are always full of normies saying how stupid and boring the game looks and how they had never heard of it until it won GOTY.
the biggest and funniest example of it is snoy and westoids in general going full anti-japan only for both xbox and console to speedrun their demise while gacha waifus become the biggest industry in the planet in record time
>That's just been an excuse by incompetent developers for doing a bad job of it.
So it's kind of like how Emil justifies his shit writing by saying that that gamers don't care for the writing, which makes me question why he even bothers writing in the first place if he thinks like that.
Because it is. The entire game is a Tencent botting and shilling campaign. None of the other numbers add up.
whoa, that was hard to disprove!
>wrong filters
disinfo
Never understood Why would search terms would show how good a game is? people could be looking up if it is good, or if it is bad. it only shows it's relevant and how many people know about it.
Because for his schizophrenic ramblings to have an ounce of validity, he needs to find a way to claim discussion is inorganic, and google trends might indicate this.
The problem, naturally, is that he's not only a fricking idiot, he's a fricking idiot at the peak of mount stupid and doesn't grasp how obvious his idiocy is. He genuinely thinks he's being sneaky why he pulls this bullshit, regardless of how many times it blows up in his face
>Why would search terms would show how good a game is
he just want to "prove" that nobody actually played the game and that the ENTIRE internet(youtube, reddit,steam,twitter,4ch) is botted/shilled to help BG3, I'm not even joking.
It absolutely is. First shills claim everyone loves BG3 using that search term. Then China realizes before launch it's not working so they switch the adspend to Baldur's Gate 3 and suddenly "everyone" is searching almost exclusively for that. Total bullshit.

Do muttmericans actually believe they're the only ones playing videogames
Because it's a dating sim that caters to many fetishes. Gamers don't give af about gameplay or story. Persona 5, Mass Effect and FE Three Houses were all smash hits because of this. Developers should take notice.
They hate it when it's done properly. See: old BG games, PT, IW, etc.
When you: >use dumbed down version of dumbed down system (5E) so that even the biggest gorilla Black person moron can get into it >fill it with redditcore le quirky smug irony dialogue and hide it with flowery language that appeal to pseuds >add some copious sexual stuff (which is mostly talked about, actual deal is pretty mild and not that different from what Mass Effect did) and violence (ditto) playing on that GoT crowd >pack it into excellent visuals >and finally spend massive chinkbux on xbawxhuge advertising
You get nearly perfect product for normalgay masses/redditors. BG3 is not an CRPG, it is a video game product loosely based on CRPGs.
It's easily digestible normalgay slop disguised as that cool nerd shit they 've hears of so much from reddit and youtube and Critical Role.

Is that the classic legendary Baldur's Gate? Amazeballs!

You could have the most mediocre game ever made but these things can save it for gamers
The game is great and it has high replay value, its digital Dungeons and Dragons perfected, thats literally it, nothing mysterious about it.
Best RPG turn based combat system also helps its case.
Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 got popular because they were really good, in the past good games used to be less popular because of the lack of word of mouth through social media, nowadays its easy for a good game to spread like fire in a forest, if its good and streamers give it good word, then its destined to do well. and co-op helps it too.
Elden Ring is alright, but it's worse in most ways than the Dark Souls games. The reason it's popular has more to do with the previous games building up the hype.
BG3 is just pure quality. It does have some major flaws of course, but overall it's just the highest quality game released period.
As the guy who has used F95zone since 2016, I can assure you that VNs are more popular than ever before, it's not even close.
I remember when the biggest VNs were considered ones with 200 likes and 100k views, now they have 10k+ likes and 50 million views. It's crazy.
pokemon is the highest grossing franchise on the planet homosexual the games are turn based
where did this meme that turn based is hated by normies even came from?
They're really not. Pic related is what actual normalgays think about this game. The people playing it are troons and your usual CRPGgays, both of which make up a huge portion of the PC market. Hence why BG3 is big on steam and a relative flop on consoles where all the actual normies are.
I mean, it's still a CRPG, it broke the CRPG glass ceiling but normalgays could never play a game like that.
Normies are playing Call off, Fortnite, and Nintendo's games.
Because they don't? Normies love polish and don't give a frick about potential or uniqueness. If you play couple hours a week, everything is unique anyway.
Take something like alpha protocol. Unpolished, janky, but has a good idea of an RPG choice system in a shooter. Flop, but in places like Ganker it's getting way, way overrated
Elden Ring sold like 5 times as many copies as BG3, has way more replay value and had nowhere near that many players 5 months after release. I know you desperately want this to not be true because you like BG3, but Tencent is known for using bots to inflate concurrent player numbers. It's not really a big financial deal for them to have 200k copies of BG3 running around the clock on some botnet.
Not him but I have 3 characters and I binge one at a time and take a few weeks break. Not saying everyone does this but I do. Also I know talking about streams on twitch and shit causes everyone to shit their pants here but there is always people streaming BG3.
Elden Ring is not "More replayable" You have 6 endings and only one way to get to all of them. BG3 has 4 endings and still undetermined number of ways to get to them. While also every companion having their own conclusion.
Simply being able to get to one of Elden Rings 6 endings with a different build doesn't make it more replayable. While you can go through BG3 with the same build every time and get a different pathing and ending unintentionally.
Also it's co-op and the holiday sales happened so people bought it.
people replay Elden Ring because it has actually fun gameplay and there is a big multiplayer community. BG3 is an ultra linear single player RPG with 3 actual endings and there is no "unlimited number of ways to get to them". Also once again, Elden Ring sold 5 times as many copies as BG3.

You think nobody plays BG3 together? It has online with up to 4 people. Drop in drop out co-op with created characters. The only thing it doesn't have is a in-game text chat. You can only ping so you have to get on discord with people if you want to coordinate. >BG3 is an ultra linear single player RPG
So you've never played it? Your team is a team of 4. each of which can be controlled by a real person. You fail a single Skill check and your ass is on an entirely different story path than someone who passed it. elden ring. You fail to make a jump or kill and boss and your ass wakes up at a bonfire to try again. You will always run through cailed. You will always run through the Storm wind castle The school. The elevator or stairs to the plateau, To the City, to the mountains. to the ruins and to the final boss.
You claim BG3 is linear but you have to go to these places and fight the same bosses with the same actions to get to the same final boss.

It's not beating Elden Ring. ER is 2 years old. BG3 is new. There is more people who bought Elden Ring that BG3 right now.
Why are you so hellbent on making this some sort of issue between those two games? Are you one of those Discord trannies and the new script this week is to attempt to have BG3/ER perform some infighting?
Because shitposters desperately try to rile up fanbases so they can hide behind people that actually play games.
When they’re on their own it becomes blatantly obvious that they haven’t played shit
What is this rewriting of history, everyone complained about Elden Ring being the least replayable to now acting like it's more replayable than a game that lets you approach Act 1 in so many different combinations that you can't reasonably expect anyone to try them all
Elden Ring's open world kills replayability
>has no real characters, coherently-explained plot
Neither does BG3. >romance
Fricking barely. There are porn games with better character development than BG3.
>Neither does BG3.
It has more than Elden Ring has, and more importantly its plot is spoken aloud instead of requiring reading item descriptions to fully grasp.
What the frick are you even talking about? I'm explaining why more normies are playing it for longer periods of time. I prefer Elden Ring because I'm not homosexual enough to play BG3
Yep. I completed my personal run and me + my friend's run months ago and put the game down.
Then a week ago my OTHER friends wanted to do an honor run so I said why not and we're ~20 hours into another run. Now that the game is 'solved' and the good builds and items are known it's kinda fun to come back and break the game in half, even if it isn't a hard game at all.
>18 own it >Only 1 is currently playing it
You might be on to something.
You don't even need to do that. Just check the Steam Achievements. >only 48% of players made it through Act 1
This should explain you the reviews, too.
The game has 3 acts and act 1 is like fricking 10s of hours content to play through. 48% of players getting through what is essentially 3 video games worth of content is not remotely a minor thing. Most plebs these days can't keep their attention held on a single game for more than 2 hours.

Anon. I just stated how long it takes to finish just Act 1. I didn't say how long it takes to finish all 3 acts.
If your focused and know all the main objectives and tackle them right after the other you have 60+ or so hours of game all together. If you just go in blind you have roughly 150+ hours all together. While BG2 is effectively the same timeframe for completion.

I finished the game in 94 hours and I am moronic completionist. The number is also skewed imo, because BG3 throws at you a ridiculous amount of time-wasting mechanics.
Then again, there is the question of quality. I have disliked solid portion of those 94 hours. There is only very little I dislike about BG2.

That means you know what you must do to complete a game. I have friends who spent 80+ hours on Act 1 alone because he's directionally challenged and actively likes reading every scroll, book and quest notification.
Anon this means basically nothing. Check ALL games on steam and you'll see less than half do "first checkpoint of progress" unless its super early. Hell most games lose 10-20% of people for the tutorial achievement alone.
It means people don't play the things they buy, and it has meaning.
You just don't like the meaning so you reject it having one. You'd be the exact type of person to commit a genocide because I asked you to keep birds out of my view.
He's been told that literally hundreds of times already. He just switches over to some other talking point and keeps pushing his narrative. It's funny watching you newbies argue with this schizo ad nauseam. Every single bg3 related thread every day for the past 5 months it's been the same thing.

funny because a bunch of my normie friends who have never touched a CRPG or ever wanted to bought BG3, played it for 6 hours or so, and never touched it again.
so at least 5 easy sales Larian got from trend-chasing idiots with more money than sense
If you build it (a great game) they will come (paying customers).
It's the best selling single player game on PS5 and XBOX as well. It's selling faster than Elden Ring, Cyberpunk, Hogwarts Legacy and even the CoD games on Steam/PS5/XBOXSX.
This one creepypasta narrator/true crime/deep web youtuber the site keeps recommending to me once took a sponsorship for a scam. None of them care as long as they get money for shilling it.

how the frick does this mystery meat content mill continue to bait views
So how come these numbers aren't happening for Pathfinder: WotR, Pillars of Eternity, or any of the other CRPGs (although Divinity Original Sin 2 is still doing pretty well)
>Pathfinder: WotR
the game had 8k player 5 month in.
that a pretty good player retention for a linear single player game .
As to why BG3 is doing better? My guess is that the game is getting a constant flux of new player, it's still at the top of the steam's sells chart right now.
Pathfinder doesn't have multiplayer? I didn't known that. I dont like CRPGs (especially none with DnD, fantasy settings) so I was asking out of legitimate curiosity.
Here are actual answers
Combat. Pillars has shit combat, you may disagree with that, but rtwp objectively is less popular.
Writing. Pillars has boring loredump words words words writing. Owlcat a little less, but also word-y. Larian's dialogue flows very well, it is easier to optimize such a thing where there is simply less of it. BG3 has the benefit of an established universe, so they can only explain the things they have to explain, and leave unimportant background as an exercise of the viewer.
Polish. Every dialogue is a soft-cutscene, you could say it has better screenplay. Every minor NPC you can speak to has it's own unique look, whereas all those other games have missing portrait galore. Every line (except yours! which is on purpose) is voice acted.
Content. BG3 has whole sections of missable side content. Animal speaking, dead speaking, playing as a paladin, playing as a drow. DoS2 has elf corpse eating and animal whisperer. I'm playing through RT right now and it doesn't have a single such a mechanic. Maybe psykers get something extra, haven't played as one
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG OUT
I've being said this for months now: the numbers are faked. Baldur's Gate 3 is created by Tencent which is a Chinese company known for use bots to fake the numbers. If this is not obvious by now you must be very very stupid and worthless. No one cares about this garbage trash game except for all the gullible idiots
Tencent pride is easier to break than a chopstick. They all feel deep shame for who they are. Even having to type in english here upsets them but they don't have a choice.
For me it's the fact that the rampant tencent schizo repeatedly and blatant replies to himself, and tries absolutely pathetic I know you are but what am I style posts like a fricking infant whenever he's called out.
It's like how manlet tears never seemed to grasp that nobody ever believed him when he samegayged support for himself, and that it only served to confirm that it was him rather than a copycat
>mindbroke Ganker
It's the same Discord trannies trying to start shit all the damn time for countless other games and their only means of attack is the bear sex scene that nobody gives a rats ass about besides them.

No one fricking cares about muh woke moronation other than polBlack folk and similar nownhite third world swineherders.

Fully voiced game where you can frick anyone in your party. Women love that elf dude. See a lot of social media post from a lot of them talking about the romance options.
Most like an eastern version of a weg. Tencent esg sensibilities and a high budget but very awkward sex scenes.
It will have the same curse as all other wegs it'll never get completed.
So basically BG3 is just the western version of persona 5.
>muh frick anyone
it's funny how everyone tries as hard as they can to reduce it away from being one of the only video games that has meaningful choices and actual different things you can do.
you can't see nearly everything in a playthrough because your choices matter, so it has *actual* replay value too. Not "I used a two hander instead of two swords, im playing a totally different game!!"
more like you are coping with the fact that people will just like something and overrate it based on a single thing and that sex sales for the most part.
That's why you always see a hentai game in the new and treading list on steam, or why sexual mods are always made and why most gatcha games are mostly getting cute and hot girls.
but i can tell you people like this game because it has actual choices and actual replay value, which other games do not have.

now go replay your favorite jrpg 4 times with completely different decision paths that result in character deaths and faction changes with different events happening and different endings as a result. I'll wait.
Anon. People are trying to not engage with discord trannies trying to make every fricking game a shitposting war between any 2 games.
We have BG3 vs Elden ring and Dragon's Dogma 2 vs Starfield among others right now. Shits so obvious that somedays I open Ganker and just say to myself "Not fricking worth it today" the moment I see "I'm so excited for DD2 but I got to say..." in like 4 fricking threads.
I started playing again a couple of weeks ago, to do a 2nd playthrough. Lots probably are doing the same, new people get it after GOTY at TGA and Steam Awards, play coop with their friends that already played it, etc.
Who gaslit Ganker into thinking this is a leftist game?
Because there are like 2 little blips in the character creator? Because you can frick whoever you want?
Aside from that, it’s 100% murdering shit across the land, and taking your half elf wienersleeve’s armor so her perky little breasts bounce all the way across Faerun.
No one, the game is full of leftist philosophies because it is an ESG vehicle by tencent.
Everyone gets what the game is they just make fun of it for it.
I have no idea.
BG2 at least had tolerable combat speed and depth... and character customization. Didn't have a bunch of shoe horned checkbox characters and other garbage. Planescape: Torment had infinitely better atmopshere, writing, and gameplay. I quit after the druid grove and I sure as frick didn't buy it so maybe I just didn't tolerate slow, poorly optimized, bad first writing impression games.
That homosexual always ''reports'' the most obvious and well know thing that is also the most trending. >whoa a lot of people are playing BG3 after the winter sales >BG3 the GOTY for 2023 >BG3 that won a ton of other awards
Anyone shocked by this must be a complete moron.
Is this game supposed to only appeal to millennials? I have 25 zoomer friends on Steam and only one person (unfortunately and unironically a trans dude) owns it.
No, I'm a Zoomer as well. Most interactions I have with Millennials comes from Counter Strike so I barely have any Millennial friends. And I was friends with that troony before he became a troony.
Also I don't think it's turn-based that they hate. Zoomers like competitive Pokemon, so perhaps it's more of the medieval atmosphere they're not attracted to.
You get mindflayer larva (tadpole) stuck in your skull, which is supposed to kill you, destroy your soul and turn your husk into a new mindflayer in a few days, but it doesn't. Turns out it's a super magical tadpole using ancient Netherese magic that can't be removed by anyone ever. You try anyway for a while.
Along the way you discover that there are a bunch of other people with magical tadpoles and they are all high ranking members of a cult, so you go investigate the cult hoping to get rid of the thing. Also you find out that eating tadpoles gives you superpowers and a voice in your head tells you that would be a really good idea.
You track the cult to its lair, find the leaders are actually the Chosen of the evil gods of death and they are using Netherese magic to control a mindflayer elder brain (hence the tadpoles). You hunt them down, kill them, and try to gain control of and/or destroy the brain. Once the Chosen are dead you find out the brain is now a super brain because of all the extra magic and only a real mindflayer is strong enough to stop it. Turns out that voice from earlier is also a mindflayer (and kind of a dick) and you can either trust him or sacrifice someone else. Either way you have to stop the brain while it's attacking the city.
There's also a subplot about the Githyanki messiah and he is one of the options for turning someone into a mindflayer and also the reason you haven't been mind controlled but really it doesn't matter much unless you care about Laezels companion quest.
It's basically DoS2 story, but in Faerun. The writing is about as shitty as in DoS2.
ah now i see why no one ever bring up the actual story in these threads...
You mean that an indie belgian studio that was crowdfunding their last several games sold almost as much as one of the biggest studio on the planet, responsible for the most famous western RPGs ? Damn, pretty successful if you ask me.

Don't forget that eating the tadpoles (or not eating them) doesn't matter whatsoever in the endings. Like 90% of other things.
>moronic completionist.
That means you know what you must do to complete a game. I have friends who spent 80+ hours on Act 1 alone because he's directionally challenged and actively likes reading every scroll, book and quest notification.
>my clinically moronic friend spent a lot of time with X >therefore X has a lot of content
BG3 has a good amount of content. But 1) it is not indicator of quality - especially considering the absolute abortion that is Act 3, and 2) neither it means anything in regard to less than HALF players ever finishing only the first part nearly half a year after the release
There was supposed to be consequences for eating tadpoles but was cut last minute before release. larian said they didn’t want to punish players for using the cool tadpole powers.
This is true but since it's never brought up at all it doesn't get a point in the summary. The Emperor telling you to eat them and being super suspicious about it gets a point, but it's up to the reader to realize that that goes nowhere.
>Don't forget that eating the tadpoles (or not eating them) doesn't matter whatsoever in the endings
why lie? it makes resisting the emperor tadpole MUCH more difficult
What the frick are you even talking about? I'm explaining why more normies are playing it for longer periods of time. I prefer Elden Ring because I'm not homosexual enough to play BG3
Normies aren't playing it for long periods of time though.

Game has char creation to self-insert, but its really half-assed so you can only make generically attractive characters, so everyone gets to feel pretty
Game has degenerate NTR, futa, gay, etc shit literally shoved down your throat while you thank mommy for the experience and ask to go again
Game is easy because of poorly balanced mechanics and map design that lets you trivially one shot half the things you fight
And the game is DND which is already popular
>Game has char creation to self-insert, but its really half-assed so you can only make generically attractive characters, so everyone gets to feel pretty
There's like exactly 1 attractive face and 4 mutt faces though.
Why hasn’t yong released a video about the predatory dlc practices of yakuza. locking ng+ behind dlc seems like something he should be complaining about.

If anything the fact Starfield was played more just goes to show how irrelevant PC is as a platform.
My god like I JUST said youre ignoring any logic just to fuel your baseless delusions.
First of all baldurs gate 3 was released on xbox way later.
Second developers hate gamepass because it devalues their games
Third gamepass is cheap as frick which is how it can achieve higher playtimes despite being so hated and mocked
Seriously do you ever try to use your brain are you literally worse than normies at knowing nothing about the industry
BG3 is clearly the better game by a long shot.
Just because you want to fit in with the contrarian hivemind doesnt mean you're right. This middle of the road "theyre both bad" is just pussy shit because you dont want to admit into having a definitive opinion.
>is it just coping?
Always was. They noid out over pajeets so much because that is their southern neighbor on the globe.

Both are dogshit. You trying to start a flamewar over it is just pathetic. Let this game fail on it's own merits without dragging the failings of something else that failed into it. It doesn't make you look better by comparison.

BG3 is incredibly popular in all forums and gaming-related places except Ganker This site is the exception. So if you visit this board and suddenly read that BG3 is a very popular game you probably think it's a lie or a Tencent conspiracy against your ideals.
>So if you visit this board and suddenly read that BG3 is a very popular game you probably think it's a lie or a Tencent conspiracy against your ideals.
Nobody thinks that. It's just one very dedicated schizo pushing this narrative and spending 20h every day schizoposting about bg3 nonstop. The average Ganker poster simply assumes it's yet another normalgay ESG slop and doesn't give any thought to its popularity.
BG3 is incredibly popular on Ganker youre just letting a handful of schizos distort your perspective.
Thats why the tencent schizo continues to spam even when hes wrong because he needs to keep this delusional perspective hes fabricated and lure morons into believing his lie so it can be maintained.

Which is funnier if you knew that the tencent schizos spam started only when starfield was getting shitposted a few months back. He was pretty much the first to start this starfield vs Baldurs gate 3 shit
And he hasnt been able to cope when BG3 is a behemoth of title compared to the wet fart that was starfield.
Calling BG3 botted is giving normies the benefit of the doubt.
I had assumed they wouldn't universally enjoy an ultimately mediocre RPG that seemingly goes out of its way to be as disgusting as possible.
Well, normies are Black person cattle, this is known.
Just look at this thread, the more you throw straight up logic and facts at faces of BG3-haters the more wildier and baseless their delusional conspiracies become, on top of that they continue to grow agitated and over emotional.
All this over the basic logic that BG3 sold well because it was good game. But somehow thats too much, its so hard of a pill to swallow they'd rather throw out reality
>Defends BG3 because it's his whole personality
Tell me, why do you think BG3 selling well is a good thing?
For me if Lariant took out the gay shit or romance completely out i would consider it as good game
>Tell me, why do you think BG3 selling well is a good thing?
Because they're one of the few good devs left in the business who actually care about their games and aren't out to israelite the customer.
You know they partnered with wizards of the coast right?

I was gifted this game last week and have played about 15 hours with friends so far. I hadn't read anything on here about it until very recently, what is the big discourse about?
>guys they're spending a ton of money botting this game because uhhhhhhhhhhhhh >look, listen tencent controls 30%, a non majority share, hence its a hostile takeover
Ohh nooo the troony crpg discord and /tg/ said mean things to people calling out the shill op. I guess they should stop mentioning i-pppppppffFFFFFFFFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
>sequel to beloved franchise >game comes out and is a phenomenon >campaign takes forever to complete >highly replayable with different outcomes >people playing together making the campaign take even longer
lightning struck, you wont ever see another crpg get half those numbers
I like the game, pretty much the only game that came out this year I had any interest in, but I do agree the numbers are suspicious. Everyone I know, friends or streamers, stopped playing after a month or two. The hardcore D&D fans beat the game and moved on, but all the casual fans quit at some point in Act 1. I don't know who could still be playing. I guess nips are playing now, but they don't seem that interested in it to make a huge difference.
It's doing the same numbers as live-service games like Apex and Genshin.
Look at the twitch viewership people are still interested in BG3 but since it's a single-player it won't be able to retain this level of interest unlike Apex or Genshin.
normies hate turn based games and lots of dialogue. why is this shit popping off??
it's gabe fricking with you specifically. he knows you're a schzio and he's driving you to suicide. hopefully it works
If you're not gonna get a life, at Least get better comebacks. frick me that was moronic even for this board, you belong on kiwifarms or Tumblr.
Production values, they don't hate lots of dialogue if it's got 6/10 animation behind it and it's just a way to channel their desire to play D&D (They've never played D&D in their life they just saw The Big Bang Theory say it was cool and have no actual drive to play it since it requires work on both the DM and player's part to have more fun than "I roll to hit goblin" x200) without the """downside""" of not having something visual to look at when they do their actions
tl;dr npc behavior
Did you just wake up from 2016 or something? Current day normies are not watching fricking big bang theory lmao. It’s literally just social media word of mouth. Once the zeitgeist decided this was the greatest game ever, 90% of normies who have never even heard of an rpg play a game that takes like 80 hours to beat and also agree it’s the greatest thing ever.
>NPC Deduction and Opinion
D&D is a popular franchise, that has recently regain steam, and this is big production videogame with lots of little details.
>Plus it's multiplayer.
>Plus Larian is a popular CRPG maker with two highly acclaimed titles under their belt.
>Plus it had hype from the demo.
Reboots are treated as whole new IPs in the eyes of the majority as well. They haven't heard of Baldur's Gate, so it might as well be wholly original to them. This game was a guaranteed hit, there wasn't much surprise with it being GOTY.
you are poisoned. you've made up a load of people to feel better than and you're going on schizo rants about them enjoying a thing that you like in the wrong way. get some perspective for your own sake.
>these seething replies
Seems you found quite a few sore spots with this one. Guess you hit a little too close to home.
Anon it looks like HIRE THIS MAN tech demo mongrels could do a better job than the actual BG3 devs when it comes to production values.
The game looks THAT shit.
nah, it looks good
>bitches about Dungeon's and Dragon's gameplay
>Shows a fighter attack like 9 attacks on a single turn
Looks like a level 12 Fighter to me. You seemingly don't know shit about Dungeon's and dragons. Fighter might not be able to pull off fancy magic bullshit to nuke a room but after like level 7 he's a fricking living beyblade of destruction.
>they don't hate lots of dialogue if it's got-

Ah yes because all normalgays LOVE Big Bang Theory in 2024
Games that are focused on long out-of-gameplay conversations with your party members have been pretty consistently successful, see Mass Effect 2 and Persona.

Sawyer just can't stop huffing that copium.
>normies hate turn based games and lots of dialogue.
Publishers have tried convincing people that's the case, but gaming at the time was simply overshadowed by the rise of 7th generation and a LOT more people getting into visually impressive games whereas RPGs had different priorities.
Depends on the turn based game.
JRPGs? Yes. It's just selecting menus.
Not that JRPGs suck but they carry the gameplay with stuff like worlds, characters, story.
BG3 is the type of turn based combat that's good. Larian makes good turnbased combat, it's why Divinity OS catched on.
>lots of dialogue
What the frick are you talking about?
>normies hate turn based games
Not the kind Larian makes. Not all turnbased RPGs do the "select thing from menu" thing
All this tells me is you're proving JRPGs have mogged westoids since the 90s and continue to do so even after BG3, yet westoids will continue to cope about this.
Astroturfed by commies and the like.
Biodrones
Chinese bots.
>why is this shit popping off??
It's really only popular among CRPG nerds and the autistic Bioware fanbase who needed another gay dating sim to replace Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
Look at youtube or tiktok comments for any BG3 video. They are always full of normies saying how stupid and boring the game looks and how they had never heard of it until it won GOTY.
It isn't really popular with crpg fans either. Too casual and too sex filled for crpg fun.
Sex, that's literally it.
Unironic chink shill money.
Pretty much nobody talks about act 2 onward on the internet, not even people making videos about the fricking game.
>normies hate turn based games and lots of dialogue
They never actually hated either of those things. That's just been an excuse by incompetent developers for doing a bad job of it.
reminds me of "gamers arent interested in rpgs" *final fantasy 7 sells a billion copies*
"gamers dont want to be impeded or challenged"
*dark souls sells a billion copies*
etc etc. they are always wrong. nobody wants god of war and horizon shit thats what people dont want.
the biggest and funniest example of it is snoy and westoids in general going full anti-japan only for both xbox and console to speedrun their demise while gacha waifus become the biggest industry in the planet in record time
its amazing how fricking stupid they are

Is this how you cope with your gambling addiction?
>That's just been an excuse by incompetent developers for doing a bad job of it.
So it's kind of like how Emil justifies his shit writing by saying that that gamers don't care for the writing, which makes me question why he even bothers writing in the first place if he thinks like that.
Never understood Why would search terms would show how good a game is? people could be looking up if it is good, or if it is bad. it only shows it's relevant and how many people know about it.
Because for his schizophrenic ramblings to have an ounce of validity, he needs to find a way to claim discussion is inorganic, and google trends might indicate this.
The problem, naturally, is that he's not only a fricking idiot, he's a fricking idiot at the peak of mount stupid and doesn't grasp how obvious his idiocy is. He genuinely thinks he's being sneaky why he pulls this bullshit, regardless of how many times it blows up in his face
>Why would search terms would show how good a game is
he just want to "prove" that nobody actually played the game and that the ENTIRE internet(youtube, reddit,steam,twitter,4ch) is botted/shilled to help BG3, I'm not even joking.
He's doing a good job. I already suspected it but now I believe it.
>He
I assume. There are no girls on the internet as a rule.
eh, don't what's his problem, I just think the game is overrated.
It absolutely is. First shills claim everyone loves BG3 using that search term. Then China realizes before launch it's not working so they switch the adspend to Baldur's Gate 3 and suddenly "everyone" is searching almost exclusively for that. Total bullshit.
No one likes you. There will be a reckoning.
>people using Baldur's gate 3 instead of bg3 prove my schizophrenic theory
OK schizo.
>switching popular search terms is totally normal
nobody switched anything, you are just a schizo
you literal shill schizos post batches of bg3 threads all at once, like clockwork. every day around the same times. it's not even funny how obvious you are. only the chinese could be so dense.
>people talk about a popular video game on Ganker?
>this prove my schizo theory!

Do try to get some help. You seem very unhealthy.
Do you have a point to counter those stats because those stats are real. I just tested them.
Maybe you're the unwell one?
You’re soooo dumb dude. My goodness, you’re one of the stupidest people I’ve seen on here. I was referring to your unhealthy obsession.
"search term" means searches containing this term
anything else there means it's a topic, meaning it congregates multiple search terms, so it can refer to all searches of both "bg3" and "baldur's gate 3" but also shit like "astarion" (character name)
The longer you keep this thread up, the harder you lose.
Your disinfo does nothing for anyone that matters
that schizo is spot on
dead internet ~~*theory*~~
>Never understood Why would search terms would show how good a game is?
Any victory for Ganker contrarians. According to them a game selling millions of copies is still a bomb with their shitty math
Not a single sale has been reported outside estimates from a Chinese embassy. It flopped.
The "success" is the CCP rescuing Tencent with Temu money.
1. This is generally speaking for every game
2. You're coping
>every game
every game not a literal Tencent bot and shill campaign has their sales reported and it's the same number that shows up in their recorded financials.
Tencent hides behind the chinese firewall. Like every other chinese bubble company.
You do realize that an overrated game doesn't have to have bots and payed people to shill for it right?
People nowadays just mindlessly enjoys something because it is popular or because of something minor.
Like how people ate up Bethesda shitty games until follow 76 happened or why most people like the most surface level anime.
>76
When this was announced I pretty much abandoned Bethesda and I'll still install FO4 or Skyrim and have fun for 80-120 hrs.
Do muttmericans actually believe they're the only ones playing videogames
>It flopped.
Sure it did, anon. Sure it did. You also have Steam to base sale on, so there's that
turn based games are a normie genre tho? its for low iq women-like brains that cant handle critical thinking hence the "turn-based" "gameplay".
Divinity 2 was pretty popular idk what you mean.
My normie friends love to play this because its popular
FOCUS GROUPS hate that
sex and hype marketing
I hate those things too but somehow I still find the game very enjoyable.
Because it's a dating sim that caters to many fetishes. Gamers don't give af about gameplay or story. Persona 5, Mass Effect and FE Three Houses were all smash hits because of this. Developers should take notice.
True, my fetish is good games and it fits really well.
>my fetish is good games
Ah yes. You care for "the game" 😉
Cope
They hate it when it's done properly. See: old BG games, PT, IW, etc.
When you:
>use dumbed down version of dumbed down system (5E) so that even the biggest gorilla Black person moron can get into it
>fill it with redditcore le quirky smug irony dialogue and hide it with flowery language that appeal to pseuds
>add some copious sexual stuff (which is mostly talked about, actual deal is pretty mild and not that different from what Mass Effect did) and violence (ditto) playing on that GoT crowd
>pack it into excellent visuals
>and finally spend massive chinkbux on xbawxhuge advertising
You get nearly perfect product for normalgay masses/redditors. BG3 is not an CRPG, it is a video game product loosely based on CRPGs.
this
>when [turn-based games are] done properly
>old BG games
You Black folk are so fricking stupid.
It's easily digestible normalgay slop disguised as that cool nerd shit they 've hears of so much from reddit and youtube and Critical Role.
WOWZERS, DnD!
Is that the classic legendary Baldur's Gate? Amazeballs!
It's like I'm a cool nerdy oldgay connosieur!
etc etc
graphics have plateaued and don't sell games anymore
true gaming kino is coming back to the spotlight
>Multiplayer campaign
>Sex
>Le quirky scene where you can hit the squirrel and frick the bear xDDD
You could have the most mediocre game ever made but these things can save it for gamers
It's good
>normies hate turn based games and lots of dialogue
They don't actually. This has been a myth.
It won goty when it was up against Alan Wake, RE4, and TotK. I don't think it's a myth anymore, anon.
It has the same appeal as Persona. Story focused, great characters, acceptable combat and a degree of player freedom.
The game is great and it has high replay value, its digital Dungeons and Dragons perfected, thats literally it, nothing mysterious about it.
Best RPG turn based combat system also helps its case.
Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 got popular because they were really good, in the past good games used to be less popular because of the lack of word of mouth through social media, nowadays its easy for a good game to spread like fire in a forest, if its good and streamers give it good word, then its destined to do well. and co-op helps it too.
>Dungeons and Dragons perfected
We're a long way off from that.
Elden Ring is alright, but it's worse in most ways than the Dark Souls games. The reason it's popular has more to do with the previous games building up the hype.
BG3 is just pure quality. It does have some major flaws of course, but overall it's just the highest quality game released period.
>its digital Dungeons and Dragons perfected
Congratulations for winning the Biggest homosexual ITT Award!
>normies hate turn based games and lots of dialogue.
This is not true.
VNs are 100x more popular than even 5 years ago.
BG3 is a 3d interactive VN.
>VNs are 100x more popular than even 5 years ago.
I don't think that's true
As the guy who has used F95zone since 2016, I can assure you that VNs are more popular than ever before, it's not even close.
I remember when the biggest VNs were considered ones with 200 likes and 100k views, now they have 10k+ likes and 50 million views. It's crazy.
Because people wants games where the developers listen to them
I dunno, but I know ultranormies who play nothing but like CS and the yearly FIFA and CoD who have bought and played BG3.
because its such a good game that normies love it
pokemon is the highest grossing franchise on the planet homosexual the games are turn based
where did this meme that turn based is hated by normies even came from?
Normalgays are the ones playing this
They're really not. Pic related is what actual normalgays think about this game. The people playing it are troons and your usual CRPGgays, both of which make up a huge portion of the PC market. Hence why BG3 is big on steam and a relative flop on consoles where all the actual normies are.
now post the video.
post link to vid? wondering what the video is showing.
Honestly I don't think I've seen a game trigger normalgays and casuals this much.
I mean, it's still a CRPG, it broke the CRPG glass ceiling but normalgays could never play a game like that.
Normies are playing Call off, Fortnite, and Nintendo's games.
And then you click on the profiles for the comments and they are all snoys lmao
Youtuber shills
Starfield lost
I have never heard anyone but critics says they hate turn based combat
If there's one thing normalgays always do, it's buy into FOMO.
Sexo
Because they don't? Normies love polish and don't give a frick about potential or uniqueness. If you play couple hours a week, everything is unique anyway.
Take something like alpha protocol. Unpolished, janky, but has a good idea of an RPG choice system in a shooter. Flop, but in places like Ganker it's getting way, way overrated
>Dnd has been trendy stuff for a few years to normies
>Hey wanna play the official dnd game ?
>is also high quality so hardcore gamers also enjoy it
Prove that it's fake Rajesh.
It's highly repayable. I'm on my third character. Fourth if you count that one I only play with my friend.
Elden Ring sold like 5 times as many copies as BG3, has way more replay value and had nowhere near that many players 5 months after release. I know you desperately want this to not be true because you like BG3, but Tencent is known for using bots to inflate concurrent player numbers. It's not really a big financial deal for them to have 200k copies of BG3 running around the clock on some botnet.
Not him but I have 3 characters and I binge one at a time and take a few weeks break. Not saying everyone does this but I do. Also I know talking about streams on twitch and shit causes everyone to shit their pants here but there is always people streaming BG3.
Elden Ring is not "More replayable" You have 6 endings and only one way to get to all of them. BG3 has 4 endings and still undetermined number of ways to get to them. While also every companion having their own conclusion.
Simply being able to get to one of Elden Rings 6 endings with a different build doesn't make it more replayable. While you can go through BG3 with the same build every time and get a different pathing and ending unintentionally.
Also it's co-op and the holiday sales happened so people bought it.
people replay Elden Ring because it has actually fun gameplay and there is a big multiplayer community. BG3 is an ultra linear single player RPG with 3 actual endings and there is no "unlimited number of ways to get to them". Also once again, Elden Ring sold 5 times as many copies as BG3.
>Elden Ring sold 5 times as many copies as BG3.
How many did both sell?
>using Elden Slop as your argument
LMAO
>elden ring bad
>troony gate good
kys eurotrash/asiatic/chink, only those subhumans shill that game while shiting on American and Japanese games, because those subhumans have micro wieners and inferiority complex
i have more hours on bg3 than elden ring. i think bg3 is a more complete package of a game. elden is just swing swing roll for 80 hours.
lol look at this fattie bunching American and Japanese games together for no reason
someone post the sf6 yor
>Big Multiplayer community
You think nobody plays BG3 together? It has online with up to 4 people. Drop in drop out co-op with created characters. The only thing it doesn't have is a in-game text chat. You can only ping so you have to get on discord with people if you want to coordinate.
>BG3 is an ultra linear single player RPG
So you've never played it? Your team is a team of 4. each of which can be controlled by a real person. You fail a single Skill check and your ass is on an entirely different story path than someone who passed it. elden ring. You fail to make a jump or kill and boss and your ass wakes up at a bonfire to try again. You will always run through cailed. You will always run through the Storm wind castle The school. The elevator or stairs to the plateau, To the City, to the mountains. to the ruins and to the final boss.
You claim BG3 is linear but you have to go to these places and fight the same bosses with the same actions to get to the same final boss.
>You think nobody plays BG3 together?
Who the frick Watches porn with friends???
Gooning is to zoomers what gangstalking is to millennials.
And this is why nobody is on your side when you believe BG3 can't have been played and liked by real people. You're Discord troon head is stuck so far up your own gash you can't think of nothing but a sex scene with a druid.
>Ad homini and insults
Must of hit a nerve,huh? try not to make a video game you're whole personality
Nah, he's right. There's something really fishy if a game like this can beat Elden Ring.
It's not beating Elden Ring. ER is 2 years old. BG3 is new. There is more people who bought Elden Ring that BG3 right now.
Why are you so hellbent on making this some sort of issue between those two games? Are you one of those Discord trannies and the new script this week is to attempt to have BG3/ER perform some infighting?
Because shitposters desperately try to rile up fanbases so they can hide behind people that actually play games.
When they’re on their own it becomes blatantly obvious that they haven’t played shit
Ring sold like 5 times as many copies as BG3
>Source: My ass
Elden Ring has 0 replay value. It's the same 15 year old game for the 8th time
Or a bunch of people just bought it because it won GOTY and it was Christmas.
What is this rewriting of history, everyone complained about Elden Ring being the least replayable to now acting like it's more replayable than a game that lets you approach Act 1 in so many different combinations that you can't reasonably expect anyone to try them all
Elden Ring's open world kills replayability
>Elden Ring sold more
Okay? Who asked?
>Elden Ring sold like 5 times as many copies as BG3, has way more replay value and had nowhere near that many players 5 months after release.
Elden Ring is not the same kind of game and has no real characters, coherently-explained plot, or (most important to normies) romance.
>has no real characters, coherently-explained plot
Neither does BG3.
>romance
Fricking barely. There are porn games with better character development than BG3.
>Neither does BG3.
It has more than Elden Ring has, and more importantly its plot is spoken aloud instead of requiring reading item descriptions to fully grasp.
>flamewar
kek bing is not chilling.
What the frick are you even talking about? I'm explaining why more normies are playing it for longer periods of time. I prefer Elden Ring because I'm not homosexual enough to play BG3
>no real characters, coherently-explained plot, or (most important to normies) romance.
Localization strikes again.
Nah it's just an upset bingching.
Elden Ring is boring empty trash
it's the best game of all time, gay
This. Friend has beaten it once and now has like 4 active playthroughs he switches between.
Can't you pervs not control you're self?
having 4 wank session is not healthy
Yep. I completed my personal run and me + my friend's run months ago and put the game down.
Then a week ago my OTHER friends wanted to do an honor run so I said why not and we're ~20 hours into another run. Now that the game is 'solved' and the good builds and items are known it's kinda fun to come back and break the game in half, even if it isn't a hard game at all.
They keep on making free updates
It’s fake.
Post your friendslist and let’s see how many of your friends still play bg3.
I actually checked. Seems like 4 friends bought the game during the sale, 2 of them started playing, 2 still haven't.
NONONON NONONO DELET!
LMAO
you dumb chingchong
frick off with your fake shit botfarm game
5 out of my 17 friends
11 of them.
2 bought recently and haven't started, and 3 of them haven't completed it

>1 recommends it

MYSTERY homieS
STOP IT YOU STALKER CHILDS
THESE PEOPLE DO NOT EXIST, THEY ARE YOUR DELUSIONS SPEAKING
literally everyone but me on my friendgroup is playing
you're moronic
>18 own it
>Only 1 is currently playing it
You might be on to something.
You don't even need to do that. Just check the Steam Achievements.
>only 48% of players made it through Act 1
This should explain you the reviews, too.
The game has 3 acts and act 1 is like fricking 10s of hours content to play through. 48% of players getting through what is essentially 3 video games worth of content is not remotely a minor thing. Most plebs these days can't keep their attention held on a single game for more than 2 hours.
Shhhh don't tell them that Act 1 alone is bigger than your average AAA game
no one asked
Context matter for you schzoid rants.
>it takes longer than CoD, therefore it is a crowning achievement
Shhh, don't tell them how long it takes to finish BG2.
What the frick those games are really not THAT long
BG1 is about 25h if you just stick to the main story and ignore the side content. BG2 is about 35-40h. BG3 about 60-70h.
Bg3 is only 70h with side content. Main plot only is probably closer to 30
Anon. I just stated how long it takes to finish just Act 1. I didn't say how long it takes to finish all 3 acts.
If your focused and know all the main objectives and tackle them right after the other you have 60+ or so hours of game all together. If you just go in blind you have roughly 150+ hours all together. While BG2 is effectively the same timeframe for completion.
>If you just go in blind you have roughly 150+ hours all together.
I finished the game in 94 hours and I am moronic completionist. The number is also skewed imo, because BG3 throws at you a ridiculous amount of time-wasting mechanics.
Then again, there is the question of quality. I have disliked solid portion of those 94 hours. There is only very little I dislike about BG2.
>moronic completionist.
That means you know what you must do to complete a game. I have friends who spent 80+ hours on Act 1 alone because he's directionally challenged and actively likes reading every scroll, book and quest notification.
Anon this means basically nothing. Check ALL games on steam and you'll see less than half do "first checkpoint of progress" unless its super early. Hell most games lose 10-20% of people for the tutorial achievement alone.
It means people don't play the things they buy, and it has meaning.
You just don't like the meaning so you reject it having one. You'd be the exact type of person to commit a genocide because I asked you to keep birds out of my view.
He's been told that literally hundreds of times already. He just switches over to some other talking point and keeps pushing his narrative. It's funny watching you newbies argue with this schizo ad nauseam. Every single bg3 related thread every day for the past 5 months it's been the same thing.
>everyone who disagrees with me is the same person
>I am not mentally ill, others are
Looks like anons really hate what happened to lariantencent.
Nope, games fail all the time.
You idoit lol the game is an unmitigated success. You gonna push toothpaste back in the tube? At any rate, what you’re doing is not going cause this game or company any issues. You’re just irritating people on this site.
Same, but with tencent shills.
I started playing with 2 friends a week ago. (I hate it)
100% of my steam friends still play it.
I only have 1 steam friend.
I work at a liberal college and the DnD club runs their games in the library where I work.
They've literally never once brought up BG3.
If it isn't bots and shills, it's a form of life more pathetic than oldschool tabletop geeks. Trannies and leftist propagandists.
It's obviously bots and shills. Actual nerds laugh at wotc branded roleplaying the way cinema snobs laugh at marvel flicks.
I have two friends, 2/3 of us own it, ones still playing it for about 4 months now.
1 ingame right now
4
~140 hrs
~145 hrs
~140 hrs
~70 hrs
>26 friends who have it

yeah basically everyone.
2 ingame right now
I have 8 friends who have played "recently"
3 friends bought it.
1 completed it in 40 fricking hours.
2 never touched it.

nah my friends are literally obscessed with that game and keep redoing runs in multiplayer
funny because a bunch of my normie friends who have never touched a CRPG or ever wanted to bought BG3, played it for 6 hours or so, and never touched it again.
so at least 5 easy sales Larian got from trend-chasing idiots with more money than sense
yeah, only about 50% of players have gotten the achievement for finishing the tutorial. (before you land on the beach).
Do you usually just make shit up?

oh wow more clickbait huh? This time from the cringe wannabe voice actor?
Why are you watching a Yong Yea video?
If you build it (a great game) they will come (paying customers).
It's the best selling single player game on PS5 and XBOX as well. It's selling faster than Elden Ring, Cyberpunk, Hogwarts Legacy and even the CoD games on Steam/PS5/XBOXSX.
Just a reminder that this guy unironically took a onions sponsorship.
This one creepypasta narrator/true crime/deep web youtuber the site keeps recommending to me once took a sponsorship for a scam. None of them care as long as they get money for shilling it.

My god, this site is moronic.
>caring about reviews
I don't but others do and it's clear why they're playing the fricking game.
So how come these numbers aren't happening for Pathfinder: WotR, Pillars of Eternity, or any of the other CRPGs (although Divinity Original Sin 2 is still doing pretty well)
>Pathfinder: WotR
the game had 8k player 5 month in.
that a pretty good player retention for a linear single player game .
As to why BG3 is doing better? My guess is that the game is getting a constant flux of new player, it's still at the top of the steam's sells chart right now.
Pathfinder doesn't have multiplayer? I didn't known that. I dont like CRPGs (especially none with DnD, fantasy settings) so I was asking out of legitimate curiosity.
For one you can actually look at the faces of your characters in BG3 instead of just a portrait
Here are actual answers
Combat. Pillars has shit combat, you may disagree with that, but rtwp objectively is less popular.
Writing. Pillars has boring loredump words words words writing. Owlcat a little less, but also word-y. Larian's dialogue flows very well, it is easier to optimize such a thing where there is simply less of it. BG3 has the benefit of an established universe, so they can only explain the things they have to explain, and leave unimportant background as an exercise of the viewer.
Polish. Every dialogue is a soft-cutscene, you could say it has better screenplay. Every minor NPC you can speak to has it's own unique look, whereas all those other games have missing portrait galore. Every line (except yours! which is on purpose) is voice acted.
Content. BG3 has whole sections of missable side content. Animal speaking, dead speaking, playing as a paladin, playing as a drow. DoS2 has elf corpse eating and animal whisperer. I'm playing through RT right now and it doesn't have a single such a mechanic. Maybe psykers get something extra, haven't played as one
Well, I have zero interests in those games, so I imagine I'm on something of a similar wavelength to everyone else.
>If you're not gonna get a life, at Least get better comebacks. frick me that was moronic even for this board, you belong on kiwifarms or Tumblr.
When you know tencent is involved it becomes much less suspect. They have a history of botting games.

I've being said this for months now: the numbers are faked. Baldur's Gate 3 is created by Tencent which is a Chinese company known for use bots to fake the numbers. If this is not obvious by now you must be very very stupid and worthless. No one cares about this garbage trash game except for all the gullible idiots
You forgot your picture bud
STAY STRONG SIRS
>farquaad posting
it begins.
No game, EVER, mindbroke Ganker as much as BG3.
Their levels of copium could OD even a mammoth.
Ganker will never be the same.
You mean the wumaos. Being found out has buck broken them like nothing I've ever seen. Just bringing up tencent derails every thread instantly.
Tencent pride is easier to break than a chopstick. They all feel deep shame for who they are. Even having to type in english here upsets them but they don't have a choice.
For me it's the fact that the rampant tencent schizo repeatedly and blatant replies to himself, and tries absolutely pathetic I know you are but what am I style posts like a fricking infant whenever he's called out.
It's like how manlet tears never seemed to grasp that nobody ever believed him when he samegayged support for himself, and that it only served to confirm that it was him rather than a copycat
>mindbroke Ganker
It's the same Discord trannies trying to start shit all the damn time for countless other games and their only means of attack is the bear sex scene that nobody gives a rats ass about besides them.
Ganker hate's BG3 because it's woke and woke game that sell is defeat to gaming as whole prepare for influx of gay content in the next foreseeable future
No one fricking cares about muh woke moronation other than polBlack folk and similar nownhite third world swineherders. The serious points to criticize about the game are:
>abhorrent shitty writing
>shit story (and that is saying something since this is D&D)
>missing content, basically one whole act
>bugs galore
>other technical issues
>moronic fricking AI with pathfinding on par with BG1
>basically no world-building whatsoever
>makes complete joke out of previous game story and companions
>ME3 tier endings
no one gives a shit about any of that except seething incel grognards, as shown by literally everyone and their mother praising the game
>popular = good
It seems to me that lower IQ = more of an BG3 fanboy.
>No one cares about that shit! These are what matter!
>Actually, no one cares about that shit either, based on the reception
>I-it's not a good game!
moron without comprehension claiming he has enlightened taste, LMAO
I mean he does got a point in that post, just because it's popular doesn't necessary means it's good, Like how people used to like fBethesda games for a very long time despite being the buggy messes, lack of RPG elements and terrible stories that got worse and worse every game, or how COD always has sells well despite being the same fricking game over and over again (only recently has it lost steam) or how the most popular anime shows tend to be badly written (or the fact the most popular character in akame ga kill! was fricking garbage and a villain sue) and some things people don't realize is shit until like years latter (and vice versa).
At least you are happy, you dumb mongoloid frick.
>No one fricking cares about muh woke moronation
Say's the Wokie moron
This was tencent caring. Players don't give a shit that is why they all made themselves in the CC.
It was obviously them having to act as attack dogs because they are on the ESG train with tencent now.
They are sort of forced to act this way when you think about it.
Thats the 30% showing it can push the other 70% around since it is the purse. Very sad to see unfold in real time.
Probably goes back further. Larian has been calling people farquaad since "the owlcat days" so it is since deadfire and shit.
I guess asking 3rd world brownoids to have basic reading comprehension is too much. The post you replied to is talking about you.
You can be upset about it it doesn't really change anything.
I have no enemies. Seriously, try googling the article headline that is what people do when they want an article sourced.
Your enemy is tencent dummy. You don’t spend all day every day talking about how terrible something is and get to pretend you’re not its enemy. You don’t even understand the concepts of basic words.
I don't have enemies. Tencent isn't worthy of being anyone's enemy when you think about it.
You’re not even honest with yourself. You really are fricked in the head.
Your struggle session tactics won't work here.
i'd say cyberpunk had more shitposting, the whole board turned yellow whenever they announced a delay
>No game, EVER, mindbroke Ganker as much as BG3.
Any game that dared to feature anything left of Hitler
Then don't feature Left in anything homosexual
Proving my point
I'll add this one to the collage
, thanks.
Collages won't stop anything. The false flag collage from the witcher 3 thing failed to do anything.
Please, we'll see if anons are still seething about it in 6 years like they were for BOTW.
No one really cares about zeldas, it's just the same shizo posting like rockstargays usually do for cheap (you)
>No game, EVER, mindbroke Ganker as much as BG3.
How big of a newbie do you have to be to believe this
needs a full song
Most likely bots
literally all chinense bots
Because it is. The entire game is a Tencent botting and shilling campaign. None of the other numbers add up.
whoa, that was hard to disprove!
>wrong filters
disinfo
the anti china filter is on my pic too bro, trust me.
you have the wrong terms lmao
why would you compare exact search terms instead of google's definition of those video games
next cope
>Tencent spends money on adspend
>Worldwide
Try again, Ziganwu
Where are those searches coming from. Not what country. Website. What website are the searching for the games? If it's Google? Makes sense. If it's anywhere else. It doesn't.
I've been here since 2006 and I'm pretty sure this game has actually mindbroken Ganker the most of any game in that span
When the schizos are going on and on with tinfoil hat theories, bots, paid awards and the CHINESE GOVERMENT THEMSELVES getting involved, you know Ganker is mindbroken beyond repair.
My favorite part of the BG3 shill campaign is an eceleb being paid to manufacture drama and literally faking evidence that didn't exist so BG3 shills could play the victim.
thats crazy, did you know people who arent losers dont pay any attention to videos like this or people that talk about games on youtube
did you know that if you have any interest/regard for people who talk about games on youtube it pretty much pigeonholes you as a zoomer
Mine was the years old farquaad spamming coming undone by weaponized autism.
>literally splicing audio to misrepresent some other gay
what the frick
Now I KNOW you didnt watch that video because I did and its actually taking down the argument AGAINST BG3 made up by journos and game devs about how games shouldnt be expected to meet BG3s standards.
Like how the frick could just outright lie about the contents of the video that basically props up BG3 like this one and calls the whole industry lazy homosexuals for not delivering a product like BG3.
This is a fricking argument made within the video itself about how disinfo and out of context cuts spread like crazy
I remember a thread where everyone on shitting on the Japanese for leaving negative reviews even though the OP mentioned most of the reviews were positives and was just talking about how funny the negatives ones were being.
Honestly the tencent schizo has been so thoroughly proven wrong so many multiple times that its no wonder youre seeing anons absolutely lose their fricking minds over this game.
They really dont have anything to help them cope theyre just outright wrong with no room debate.
This is why youre seeing homosexuals like tencent schizo go into full delusional mode and just fricking make up facts outright lie and when you ask for any sort of proof he only gets madder.
What blows my mind is that they're anonymous.
If these people were trying to farm upvotes, or at least had trips they wanted to protect, I'd at grasp why they'd want to damage control, but these morons could, at any moment, just stop posting about it and nobody would ever link their embarassing moronation back to them.
There is absolutely no reason to make themselves a punching bag in every thread they don't have nogames sycophants giving them asspats and shouting down opposition
>Honestly the tencent schizo has been so thoroughly proven wrong so many multiple times that its no wonder youre seeing anons absolutely lose their fricking minds over this game.
uh if anything my post proves that the BG3gays are just as insane and schizo as the tencent schizo because they just start attacking people for daring to even disliking a game.
yes, yes, anon, I'm rubber you're glue, etc, etc.
get new material
Yep just ignore what i said because you know I am right.
>watches hour+ long youtube videos on games you hate
I don't even understand how you gays even watch these kinds of videos even if it's for games you like.
WAS GETTING CAUGHT PART OF YOUR PLAN?!
Fully voiced game where you can frick anyone in your party. Women love that elf dude. See a lot of social media post from a lot of them talking about the romance options.
So basically BG3 is just the western version of persona 5.
but not as good
Most like an eastern version of a weg. Tencent esg sensibilities and a high budget but very awkward sex scenes.
It will have the same curse as all other wegs it'll never get completed.
Persona 5 doesn't have actual bestiality sex scenes.
So if anything it's just a literal WEG.
But it has you dating cute girls.
which is why americans hate persona
you will frick the manfaced goblins
you will eat the bugs
you will live in the pod
you will own nothing
you will be happy
>muh frick anyone
it's funny how everyone tries as hard as they can to reduce it away from being one of the only video games that has meaningful choices and actual different things you can do.
you can't see nearly everything in a playthrough because your choices matter, so it has *actual* replay value too. Not "I used a two hander instead of two swords, im playing a totally different game!!"
this sounds like cope.
right, i'm coping with you not liking a historically successful game. whatever gives you a reason to shitpost I guess. (You).
more like you are coping with the fact that people will just like something and overrate it based on a single thing and that sex sales for the most part.
That's why you always see a hentai game in the new and treading list on steam, or why sexual mods are always made and why most gatcha games are mostly getting cute and hot girls.
i dont care what other people like
but i can tell you people like this game because it has actual choices and actual replay value, which other games do not have.
>no it's le sex
okay 🙂
>but i can tell you people like this game because it has actual choices and actual replay value, which other games do not have.
Well considering the first thing everyone hears about this game is "you can have sex with a bear"
I say yes, infact it wasn't notable until that.
I said I would tell you something, not ask you something. I don't care about a single word you have to say on this, you aren't old or wise enough to understand or analyze anything about this situation.
now go replay your favorite jrpg 4 times with completely different decision paths that result in character deaths and faction changes with different events happening and different endings as a result. I'll wait.
sounds like I just won the argument.
What meaningful choices are there then? enlighten us
>one of the only video games that has meaningful choices
Is this bait? Are we talking about BG3?
>americans just can't stop fricking the bear
Tendies are desperately trying to ignite a shitposting war between these games.
>trying
I don't even need to try. TOTK is more critically acclaimed by the true gamers than the china slop.
true gamers don't care about critics, ratings, goty or scores.
>true gamers
All the 8 year olds?
They're soo pathetic, holy shit.
Anon. People are trying to not engage with discord trannies trying to make every fricking game a shitposting war between any 2 games.
We have BG3 vs Elden ring and Dragon's Dogma 2 vs Starfield among others right now. Shits so obvious that somedays I open Ganker and just say to myself "Not fricking worth it today" the moment I see "I'm so excited for DD2 but I got to say..." in like 4 fricking threads.
But Zelda:BotW did win GOTY against Horizion:Zero Dawn and Elden Ring after that against Horizion:Frobiden West
meds
I started playing again a couple of weeks ago, to do a 2nd playthrough. Lots probably are doing the same, new people get it after GOTY at TGA and Steam Awards, play coop with their friends that already played it, etc.
how many runs do you need to see every meaningful outcome?
Who gaslit Ganker into thinking this is a leftist game?
Because there are like 2 little blips in the character creator? Because you can frick whoever you want?
Aside from that, it’s 100% murdering shit across the land, and taking your half elf wienersleeve’s armor so her perky little breasts bounce all the way across Faerun.
No one, the game is full of leftist philosophies because it is an ESG vehicle by tencent.
Everyone gets what the game is they just make fun of it for it.
it's leftist. perky breasts bouncing is a leftist thing. it doesn't serve you, it just feeds your vices.
>ugh. They took all the sexy girls and fanservice out of games. Fricking leftists
>ugh. They’re trying to feed my vices. Fricking leftists
Nobody want's leftist troony breasts
It's literally only because it has degenerate shit in it and because it's popular, any analysis beyond that is cope by Gankertards
YONG OUT
I liked him more when he was a fat nerd
Bear sex is kino bro
I hate this narcissistic moonfaced homosexual so much
I'm sure it's totally not a sad sack of shit who posted that comment.
Not as sad as a guy who thinks he's a legendary VA despite being talentless
>screenshotting your own sperg out in the YouTube comment section
even for here that's a new low
I have no idea.
BG2 at least had tolerable combat speed and depth... and character customization. Didn't have a bunch of shoe horned checkbox characters and other garbage. Planescape: Torment had infinitely better atmopshere, writing, and gameplay. I quit after the druid grove and I sure as frick didn't buy it so maybe I just didn't tolerate slow, poorly optimized, bad first writing impression games.
That homosexual always ''reports'' the most obvious and well know thing that is also the most trending.
>whoa a lot of people are playing BG3 after the winter sales
>BG3 the GOTY for 2023
>BG3 that won a ton of other awards
Anyone shocked by this must be a complete moron.
Trump lost
its pretty clear its bots at this point, there arent that many people playing it anymore
Who cares? The game sucks and it's fans are annoying.
?si=mAU82_G9cpKAhi-n&t=330
Is this game supposed to only appeal to millennials? I have 25 zoomer friends on Steam and only one person (unfortunately and unironically a trans dude) owns it.
Zoomers hate turn-based. It's like garlic to vampires. No amount of praise and awards will get them to play it.
Also, why do you have a bunch of zoomer boys and trannies in your friendlist? Are you a pederast groomer?
No, I'm a Zoomer as well. Most interactions I have with Millennials comes from Counter Strike so I barely have any Millennial friends. And I was friends with that troony before he became a troony.
Also I don't think it's turn-based that they hate. Zoomers like competitive Pokemon, so perhaps it's more of the medieval atmosphere they're not attracted to.
So what's the full plot of this game anyways?
something about gay tentacle men and brain parasites
ah now i see why no one ever bring up the actual story in these threads...
It's basically DoS2 story, but in Faerun. The writing is about as shitty as in DoS2.
gay sex with bears
written by homosexuals
homosexuals are the most creative males anyway. It's no surprise the game sold so well.
isn't that popular fallout 1 designer gay too
the guy that made pretty much every beloved 90s disney villain was also gay
Game got outsold by starfield of all things. Both entities are using "players" as metrics over units sold but you get the gist.
You mean that an indie belgian studio that was crowdfunding their last several games sold almost as much as one of the biggest studio on the planet, responsible for the most famous western RPGs ? Damn, pretty successful if you ask me.
Yep. All the tencent shilling couldn't help them. Bethesda is an ingrained studio in the west.
It sounds like you're coping and pretending Tencent "shilled" the game
There's nothing to cope about though. Tencent shilling is what it is. It's funny how good it was at turning people away from the product but it's not out of normalcy for the bugs.
>It's funny how good it was at turning people away from the product
The product selling about as much as the AAA studios ?
Are the tencent shills in the room with us ? Shoule be easy to prove since it is what it is.
>The product selling about as much as the AAA studios ?
Oh, did the numbers finally drop? Are we still going off of 'dude trust me it's popular'?
With such compelling proof, their scheme is sure to come tumbling down!
Where? It heavily outperformed Starfield on Steam
And more obsessed with degeneracy and pedophilia.
You get mindflayer larva (tadpole) stuck in your skull, which is supposed to kill you, destroy your soul and turn your husk into a new mindflayer in a few days, but it doesn't. Turns out it's a super magical tadpole using ancient Netherese magic that can't be removed by anyone ever. You try anyway for a while.
Along the way you discover that there are a bunch of other people with magical tadpoles and they are all high ranking members of a cult, so you go investigate the cult hoping to get rid of the thing. Also you find out that eating tadpoles gives you superpowers and a voice in your head tells you that would be a really good idea.
You track the cult to its lair, find the leaders are actually the Chosen of the evil gods of death and they are using Netherese magic to control a mindflayer elder brain (hence the tadpoles). You hunt them down, kill them, and try to gain control of and/or destroy the brain. Once the Chosen are dead you find out the brain is now a super brain because of all the extra magic and only a real mindflayer is strong enough to stop it. Turns out that voice from earlier is also a mindflayer (and kind of a dick) and you can either trust him or sacrifice someone else. Either way you have to stop the brain while it's attacking the city.
There's also a subplot about the Githyanki messiah and he is one of the options for turning someone into a mindflayer and also the reason you haven't been mind controlled but really it doesn't matter much unless you care about Laezels companion quest.
Don't forget that eating the tadpoles (or not eating them) doesn't matter whatsoever in the endings. Like 90% of other things.
>my clinically moronic friend spent a lot of time with X
>therefore X has a lot of content
BG3 has a good amount of content. But 1) it is not indicator of quality - especially considering the absolute abortion that is Act 3, and 2) neither it means anything in regard to less than HALF players ever finishing only the first part nearly half a year after the release
There was supposed to be consequences for eating tadpoles but was cut last minute before release. larian said they didn’t want to punish players for using the cool tadpole powers.
Larian was supposed to keep it in development for at least a year longer. The game is obviously unfinished.
I still lol when I think of the releasing it early over fears of competing with starfield.
This is true but since it's never brought up at all it doesn't get a point in the summary. The Emperor telling you to eat them and being super suspicious about it gets a point, but it's up to the reader to realize that that goes nowhere.
>Don't forget that eating the tadpoles (or not eating them) doesn't matter whatsoever in the endings
why lie? it makes resisting the emperor tadpole MUCH more difficult
>talk about the endings
>anons talks about tadpole
BG3 fanboys truly are stupid.
>doesn't deny the lie
Do tell me how does eating/not eating the tadpoles project into the ENDINGS, moron-kun.
it makes character look ugly or not during the ending
YOU LOSE!
It doesn't. What makes you ugly is the Astral one. You truly are moronic, I'm sorry to say.
>so many people with 1-2 digit hours in the game
>according to steam its still being played like crazy
knew it
It's indisputably botted, but the question is WHY?
This is just what tencent does.
Normies aren't playing it for long periods of time though.
It doesn't do this. AAA like starslop outsold it.
>It document do this
It doesn't do what ? Please don't tell me you're an ESL seething about imaginary foreign shills in a language you don't understand kek
The product selling, it doesn't do that.
Are you not a native english speaker
>shilling for tencent larian
yep, you are a foreigner. It isn't a problem.
Game has char creation to self-insert, but its really half-assed so you can only make generically attractive characters, so everyone gets to feel pretty
Game has degenerate NTR, futa, gay, etc shit literally shoved down your throat while you thank mommy for the experience and ask to go again
Game is easy because of poorly balanced mechanics and map design that lets you trivially one shot half the things you fight
And the game is DND which is already popular
>Game has char creation to self-insert, but its really half-assed so you can only make generically attractive characters, so everyone gets to feel pretty
There's like exactly 1 attractive face and 4 mutt faces though.
Why hasn’t yong released a video about the predatory dlc practices of yakuza. locking ng+ behind dlc seems like something he should be complaining about.
He has.
Oh, that shocks you? Hold my beer.
What site is that from?
Try typing the article headline into whatever version of google is used behind the great firewall.
You’re so certain of things but you don’t even know your enemy.
Clickbait yellow rag.
>not knowing starfield is on gamepass
Every time with you schizos forgoing any logic to fuel your own delusions
BG3 is on pc and consoles. They could have been on gamepass too but I bet tencent stopped it.
My god like I JUST said youre ignoring any logic just to fuel your baseless delusions.
First of all baldurs gate 3 was released on xbox way later.
Second developers hate gamepass because it devalues their games
Third gamepass is cheap as frick which is how it can achieve higher playtimes despite being so hated and mocked
Seriously do you ever try to use your brain are you literally worse than normies at knowing nothing about the industry
That's fine. It isn't a pissing contest both are terrible video games.
BG3 is clearly the better game by a long shot.
Just because you want to fit in with the contrarian hivemind doesnt mean you're right. This middle of the road "theyre both bad" is just pussy shit because you dont want to admit into having a definitive opinion.
No amount of bronwoid cope will change the fact that bg3 is universally beloved.
Only 48% of players made it through Act 1.
bg3 is a lolcow game around here due to the tencent shilling being terrible.
Sorry lad.
DO NOT REDEEM
SIR
DO NOT REDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM
Is it really just bad geopolitical relations causing this?
Bro if you were in a public space with anyone irl, they’d be telling you to shut up and annoyed at just how moronic you sound. You’ve really lost it. You’re lucky you’re in a space where its difficult to shut idiots up so you get to keep babbling.
kek look at how mad this lil fella is. You gonna judo chop me?
I’m not mad, more stunned at how childish you are. And childish people are in fact annoying. What do you hope to accomplish with this quest of yours you engage with every day? Whats you end goal? What do you hope to achieve?
>being new
kek
Are you getting paid to do this? Usually people who spend this much time on something have reasons or goals. You don’t have any, but your tenacious as heck. If you don’t have personal motivations then it stands to reason its financial. I understand ‘reason’ is not your strong suit, however.
Nobody refutes this, it's just you coping at clouds.
If anything the fact Starfield was played more just goes to show how irrelevant PC is as a platform.
BG3 is incredibly popular in all forums and gaming-related places except Ganker This site is the exception. So if you visit this board and suddenly read that BG3 is a very popular game you probably think it's a lie or a Tencent conspiracy against your ideals.
>So if you visit this board and suddenly read that BG3 is a very popular game you probably think it's a lie or a Tencent conspiracy against your ideals.
Nobody thinks that. It's just one very dedicated schizo pushing this narrative and spending 20h every day schizoposting about bg3 nonstop. The average Ganker poster simply assumes it's yet another normalgay ESG slop and doesn't give any thought to its popularity.
BG3 is incredibly popular on Ganker youre just letting a handful of schizos distort your perspective.
Thats why the tencent schizo continues to spam even when hes wrong because he needs to keep this delusional perspective hes fabricated and lure morons into believing his lie so it can be maintained.
Delusion ESL schizos =/= all of Ganker
I love these threads to see ESL Discord troons seethe about BG3 doing well
It takes 5 months to fight two goblins with how slow the combat is, so makes sense
Why do the chinese tencent shills obsess about esl so much when they are esl themselves?
is it just coping?
>is it just coping?
Always was. They noid out over pajeets so much because that is their southern neighbor on the globe.
Both are dogshit. You trying to start a flamewar over it is just pathetic. Let this game fail on it's own merits without dragging the failings of something else that failed into it. It doesn't make you look better by comparison.
>You trying to start a flamewar over it is just pathetic
Which is funnier if you knew that the tencent schizos spam started only when starfield was getting shitposted a few months back. He was pretty much the first to start this starfield vs Baldurs gate 3 shit
And he hasnt been able to cope when BG3 is a behemoth of title compared to the wet fart that was starfield.
It started three years ago.
> Let this game fail
Lmao, a little late for that, don’t you think, moron?
Are you okay Rajeesh?
See, it's always some indian name after the farquaad spam got tanked. They are just chinese marketers.
God I wish we had flags still.
Calling BG3 botted is giving normies the benefit of the doubt.
I had assumed they wouldn't universally enjoy an ultimately mediocre RPG that seemingly goes out of its way to be as disgusting as possible.
Well, normies are Black person cattle, this is known.
ESL.
Whiter than you, Muhammed.
>Calling BG3 botted is giving normies the benefit of the doubt.
It's calling a spade a spade.
>Ganker complains about games being shit
>actual good game comes out
>Ganker complains about people playing it
have a nice day
Just look at this thread, the more you throw straight up logic and facts at faces of BG3-haters the more wildier and baseless their delusional conspiracies become, on top of that they continue to grow agitated and over emotional.
All this over the basic logic that BG3 sold well because it was good game. But somehow thats too much, its so hard of a pill to swallow they'd rather throw out reality
>Defends BG3 because it's his whole personality
Tell me, why do you think BG3 selling well is a good thing?
For me if Lariant took out the gay shit or romance completely out i would consider it as good game
>Tell me, why do you think BG3 selling well is a good thing?
Because they're one of the few good devs left in the business who actually care about their games and aren't out to israelite the customer.
You know they partnered with wizards of the coast right?
Meds.
People are just making fun of you on the internet it isn't a big deal.
>You know they partnered with wizards of the coast right?
How else would they get bg3 license?
>You know they partnered with wizards of the coast right?
That is how rights work, yes.
>People are just making fun of you on the internet it isn't a big deal.
This is too much of an ironic statement that I cant even tell if youre trying to falseflag right now
I really want to believe that not all BG3 haters are schizoprenic and low IQ but I think like 3 seperate people I've replied to have all been just way too fricking moronic to live
>I really want to believe that not all BG3 haters are schizoprenic and low IQ but I think like 3 seperate people I've replied to have all been just way too fricking moronic to live
I don't know about that, the BG3 lovers are proving to be just as schizoprenic and low IQ as the people that hate the game.
I don’t think you really care about any of this. I think you’re lonely, and you found a system to get you attention and you are running with it for all its worth. You have nothing going on for yourself (obviously if you can do this in every thread for months) and this gives you a little bit of the human contact you crave. Really dude, you should just go make some friends. Get out there. Its not hard. You don’t need to do this everyday. You can live a good life, instead of whatever you’d call what you’ve been doing.
Youre really going to say that when you have an active schizo spamming the same disinfo for months and refuses to accept literal facts when presented at him. Worse when the same anti-BG3 repeat the same disinfo as fact when it comes from a literal schizophrenic.
You can absolutely criticize BG3 for being a bit too pozzed for my liking but to outright make up lies and try to spread those falsehoods as truth I see that as a fricking low. You completely lost the argument when its all based on made up shit.
Yeah, but you're a tencent shill, therefore I win the argument. What now?
>Youre really going to say that when you have an active schizo spamming the same disinfo for months and refuses to accept literal facts when presented at him
you already prove my point by confusing me with the Tencent schizo and I was simply was pointing out you guys are just acting like him.
and you in turn prove my point by writing that cringe as hell worthy post, like holy shit, get a life.
>you already prove my point by confusing me with the Tencent schizo
Black person do you read english? I was specifically reffering to him as a seperate person and not you.
Why do you have to make this interaction more embarrasing and cringe to read?
>Black person do you read english? I was specifically reffering to him as a seperate person and not you.
oh yeah, I did misread that as you calling me him, apologize for that, but I still didn't make shit up, especially seeing how that other guy that responded to me sounded like one of those people that tells you to get a life while also being chronically on twitter 24/7.
>Why do you have to make this interaction more embarrassing and cringe to read?
You implying that was possible? you all been making dumb as shit arguments the entire time.
>meds
Yes what a far fetched idea, right? Ignore that your insane take on things is adjacent to the idea.
I'm just saying you should take your medications.
Nothing really ironic about it.
CORRECT
I literally have no stake in all this. I just enjoyed the game and im laughing that some small minority of you homosexuals are legitimately self harming yourself over a videogame selling well.
Like get the frick over it, it's not the end of the fricking world you pussy. Admit to the reality that the game sold well and is popular with people and then shit on the other actual incoming flops that are heading this way like that shitty suicide squad game that SHOULD be shitposted to hell
BG3 because it's his whole personality
>saves screencaps of google search terms stats and random article headlines to post in every schizo thread to have internet fights with people over how ass mad you are that a video game is popular
blue eyes white dragon is in the retrograde AND quartz resonates the most to the term "baldur's gate 3"
such negative energies can only mean interference by at least two core three star golden dragon emperor divine demon cultivator
so it's a flop, cope and seethe
WE'RE BREAKIN THE LAWARARARARAAAA
>BG3 still breaking the minds of absolute mega-chuds.
lol
I was gifted this game last week and have played about 15 hours with friends so far. I hadn't read anything on here about it until very recently, what is the big discourse about?
>guys they're spending a ton of money botting this game because uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>look, listen tencent controls 30%, a non majority share, hence its a hostile takeover
Both are correct statements.
>because uhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Marketing.
To WHO homie the game has been out for like 6 months.
yeah your concession is accepted
If you really can't figure it out yet. They just leave it on the launcher.
It's weird that tencent expends the highest effort to shill a game for a company they have no stock in and can't even control by usual means
Ohh nooo the troony crpg discord and /tg/ said mean things to people calling out the shill op. I guess they should stop mentioning i-pppppppffFFFFFFFFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
It was the game awards GoTY and has multiplayer(which is kinda crazy for the type of game it is).
>sequel to beloved franchise
>game comes out and is a phenomenon
>campaign takes forever to complete
>highly replayable with different outcomes
>people playing together making the campaign take even longer
lightning struck, you wont ever see another crpg get half those numbers
record profits
Which broke this board worse, BG3, Elden Ring, or Zelda BotW/TotK?
If Yong Nepotism Shill is making a video about it then it's certain to be astroturfed happenings.
I like the game, pretty much the only game that came out this year I had any interest in, but I do agree the numbers are suspicious. Everyone I know, friends or streamers, stopped playing after a month or two. The hardcore D&D fans beat the game and moved on, but all the casual fans quit at some point in Act 1. I don't know who could still be playing. I guess nips are playing now, but they don't seem that interested in it to make a huge difference.
It's doing the same numbers as live-service games like Apex and Genshin.
Look at the twitch viewership people are still interested in BG3 but since it's a single-player it won't be able to retain this level of interest unlike Apex or Genshin.
>bg3 hating morons btfo themselves
Lmao even
A daily sight on vee.
