oh come on. the only reason the game was praised is cus there was barely any competition in big blockbuster first person shooters, so it was more novel. it's not actually a good shooter and it's certainly not a good metroid game.
of course they didnt, theyre fricking reviewers, next youre going to realize they play on the lowest difficulty to. If you want an actual crpg addicts opinion the game isnt very good
>8.5 user score >game has been playable on moat people's machines for hours at most >vast majority of players still on character creation
Definelty grassroots. Not astroturf. Nuh-uh no way.
I'm looking at Steam and there are 70,000 positive reviews but 7,000 negative ones. All of the positive reviews are either one-liners or memes, and all the negative ones are long and detailed. Can someone explain to me what's happening here?
People only review a product if they really like it or really hate it. People who hate said product have more reason to list the reasons why they dislike it than People who like the product do to list the reasons why it's good. I hope this helped moronkun
No, I'm sorry. You misunderstood my question. Of the 15,000 overwhelmingly positive reviews Baldur's Gate 3 has gotten today, all of them are literally just a few words long. That's not a review, as far as I can tell. Yet when I sort by negative reviews, I no longer see this. It'd be okay if there were also long positive reviews, but there aren't.
Realistically the game just hit 1.0 today and nobody can formulate a cohesive opinion of the full game as its a mammoth to get theough but do know that they enjoy it and want to leave a positive review.

No, they enjoy being part of the zeitgeist.
You need to understand how pathetic the average person is, they just want to be part of the popular event.
They don't actually care if the game is good or not just that they get to be excited about it with other people.

I mean, if people are buying a game and just treating it like some funny event a la crowd doing the wave, I don't want to be a part of that. This game could be pozzed as frick and I wouldn't care, but the normalgay horde acting like they suddenly care about CRPGs because this has dating sim elements in it are what's really offputting.
Most people haven't finished the game and left a placeholder review to farm gay points.
The people who left a negative review probably won't play it again
>all the negative ones are long and detailed.
The game hasn't been out that long. How on earth could they have anything to say other than screeching about politics?
Because the actual big ass city runs between 20-45 fps on a 4090 regardless of cpu or gpu family. It has lots of dips outside of the early access areas. Not that anyone here comes to shill political views cares about that. It's a stutter show for low-mid rigs outside of the early access areas. Trying watching some of the 10 viewer literal whos streaming this and you will notice the annoying performance hits. Shit was rushed just a bit to avoid starfields release and needs some more time to iron shit out. I've had 4 CTD since I've been playing.
No clue but droping to medium seems to fix it but the frame times are still fricked in a lot of combat encounters and when I transform on druid I've had the game hard crash twice. I know it's coming too because it always happens around "round 2 of my turn"
Games been in early access for a couple years. People really only do proper reviews if they're autistic. Steam's system incentivizes you to do funny or digestable reviews, as people can give you awards which gives you steam points for profile backgrounds and all that.
All youtube "reviews" have the same 3 bot comments. This game has sunk lots of money in shilling. Never going to buy it out of principle. If you think you can manipulate me into buying your shit, I don't want it, because I hate you and everything you stand for.
I find it funny that no one can admit it's being astroturfed. That alone proves to me something is fricked up here. We've got so much evidence, all one anon needs to do is compile it and the shills will shrink up.
Accusations of astroturfing only made (very little) sense when we assumed it was a typical Crpg with a typical Crpg audience. Given the launch day numbers it now makes perfect sense that there were so many threads about it. It’s going to be one of the three best selling single player games of the year.
I am just telling you that it is not doing anything particularly crazy for a single player game.
In fact, it's just as buggy as cyberpunk without any of the hype.
So take a guess how quickly this game falls off.

Ganker is the only good board related to entertainment it's not even close
I can usually read an entire thread on Ganker and get some entertainment value out of it. Here you're all as insufferable and moronic as the whiney b***hes on /LULZ/, the only redeeming parts are the rare nostalgia threads that happen late at night.
Unironically, why are you even on Ganker if you hate it so much? Fricking hell, half of this board is normalgays and Reddit refugees who think they belong but also wanna shit on everyone.
I enjoy video games but don't get that news from anywhere else, no reddit, twitter, facebook, random google articles, so I skim the catalog to see if there's anything new.
Even when I see a thread that's promising I'm let down every time.
This just felt like a good opportunity to call everyone gay.
Bookmark Gematsu and subscribe to a YT channel like GameRanx or SkillUp. There, that's all the news you'll ever need. As someone who actually, y'know, *enjoys* gaming Ganker tends to be at least an hour or two behind stories when they get published.

This industry already takes itself far too seriously, so by putting my time into reading in-depth articles is playing into the idea that most games are actually worth playing, but they're not.
True enough, I only stay here because vidya is my preferred entertainment. It's all "fromdrone" this, "tendie" that, "snoygger" this and "shill" that. I fricking hate it here so much it's unreal.
You too, motherfricker. Leave. If you don't like Ganker then GTFO. No one will miss you. >wahhhhhh I hate it here wahhhhh why they use these buzzwords wahhhhhh
How long is an appropriate amount of time for a single player videogame to have threads made on it if there is more substance to it than "the hype event"?
Theres no substance to bg3 so it wont make it. Notice how wotr still gets threads despite being an unpolished mess. Theres no chance a year from now anyone cares about this, its going the deadfire route. I wish I was wrong
You guys forget that this is also a SNOY exclusive port.
just look at the anti starfield campaign of late or the derailment of any game talk that isn't balls gat deep 3.
last time Ganker went through such shill campaign, it was CoD and WoW Classic
The game will only come out on PlayStation on September 6th. It won't sell a fraction because the hype has been cleared already. Also lol, who buys these games on a damn console? You'd have to be a masochist to play it with a controller.

You're playing pozzed propaganda with gender identities, and giving more than an ounce of care towards a story written by millennial shut-in nerds who sit on twitter and tumblr all day. You're already gay, homosexual.
96 with 145 reviews seems impossible. paid reviews?

This is exactly like those ad pages with bot replies that create a chain of replies that make it look natural people but it's all just a chain of bots replying to each others to hype up a product.

FF16 got 9's from almost all of major outlets.
a couple of lower scores were from some no name sites that were mad that there are no Black folk in the game and woman are mistreated.
I make fun of this game a lot and its not for me, but I can believe a high review score. Seems more legit than zeldas.
Whelp, it’s Todd’s game to lose now. He’s got to get better scores and sales than bg or betheda will be an even bigger laughing stock than ever. They’ll lose their crown as the premiere rpg maker, possibly for all time.
>8.5
and dropping.
2 more weeks
maybe forever
96 with 145 reviews seems impossible. paid reviews?
>A good game is impossible, could this be a conspiracy?!??
But it's larian so we already know it's not a good game

Lack of meds.
Paid reviews is the norm now.
Always have been, underaged newfriend
Paid reviews wasn't as common in the past. It started to get a lot worse after 2009
Metroid Prime had 97 with 150+ reviews on the archives
That game is shit too what's your point
bait used to be believable.
oh come on. the only reason the game was praised is cus there was barely any competition in big blockbuster first person shooters, so it was more novel. it's not actually a good shooter and it's certainly not a good metroid game.
it's the in thing right now to hype the game so they give the game these 100/10 scores just because it's whats expected
There is lots of gay shit in it so take a guess as to why it has such high acclaim among journalists.
Doubt a single one made it past act 1.
yeah this is probably true, especially with bear rape scene, israelites love plebs fricking animals rather than their women
left-wing bonus and simple gameplay, same for disco elysium, journobait rpg.
left wing bonus? then why did forspoken flop?
forspoken is a 14/100 game
not possible unless it's Zelda and Nintendo bonus
which it is
imagine unironically being addicted to schadenfreude. sounds like a miserable existence
Sums up shazamies nicely
>145 critic reviews
There is no way they progressed past Act 1
It will backfire just like happened to Cyberpunk 90+ reviews
>It will backfire
Like the vaccines I guess.
of course they didnt, theyre fricking reviewers, next youre going to realize they play on the lowest difficulty to. If you want an actual crpg addicts opinion the game isnt very good

Because reddit buck broke reviews so people do memes to get upvotes and awards
>all the negative ones are long and detailed.

Majority of the negative are in EA and some have more of “I want this x and I will play the game”

Cyberpunk had over a million active users on steam alone.
This game is not even reaching half of that at peak.
You cannot tell me that this game and cyberpunk had even remotely comparable levels of hype and anticipation
I am just telling you that it is not doing anything particularly crazy for a single player game.

I'm surprised it has enough traction to be considered a hype event by normalgays. It's just another Larian fart.
It's because it's baldurs gate and normal gays have gotten way into d&d since certain popculture events

FF16.

Another /vpol/ loss isn't surprising though
twitter: the game
+1
You do know there are only 3 reviews of game as of now, one of them is an 8
then why does OP's pic show 145 reviews?
he got mad that somebody made a fake reviewscore image showing it being bad so he posted a thread with a good one that he made
Because he's getting paid to make this garbage sell.
that's just despicable. we should put a stop to this behavior.
Mods like shilling, either that or they can't be asked to deal with his VPN
My money is on this shithole getting paid to leave shill threads.
