where did all of the baldur's gate attention come from? I feel like I'm crazy that suddenly everyone and their mother is talking about it and playing it when it was no where near this popular when the first 2 were around.
Are normies really pretending like they played these games and that baldur's gate was a huge thing or am I gaslighting myself?

It's a method to be part of a group and virtue signal at the same time. Normies gobble that up like npcs getting quest rewards
>virtue signal
I don’t know anything about the game, can I get a qrd?
Its shown to have gay stuff in it, then a bunch of people say "EWWW i hate gays get out my videogame" and then a bunch of people say "lol I buy game I ove gay so brave" and then they pretend they enjoy turn based combat RPGs to own the chuds
The game is fun and the majority of the world doesn't see everything as a win or loss based on meaningless politics. You're caught in the culture war mind trap kek
>its fun
Nah I was never much into fantasy dnd turn based shit. AlsoI dont agreee with supporting cub fiddlers
Lets me rephrase that, then. Its fun if you find turn based DnD to be fun. Should have been obvious enough for you kek
Also, you're still doing that polbrain shit. Must be exhausting
>Its fun if you find turn based DnD to be fun
it's not
then don't play it moron
>NOOOOO STOP SAYING IT'S NOT FUN
no
?
What? You're fricking stupid kek Nobody is trying to convince you. They're just surprised you somehow don't know you're moronic
>arguing with a Black person who can't do anything but spam caps
shiggy diggy
You think thats what an argument is? Bit of a drama queen arent you?
It's sad to see what gamers have become. Instead of making their own decision they just follow party line like the good goys that gamer gate taught them to be. The game has 0 DRM and people still refuse to see if they enjoy it for themselves. I think the metacritic shitposters riled up the tendies too so now they're anti shilling like crazy.
I ain't downloading >100gb of shilled content just to be one of the cool kids who played it when it came out. Especially not an RPG that will recieve dozens of fixes over the year. Also
>5e
>Western developer in 2023 Anno Domini
>Hit games like DOS
Romanceable quirky companions isn't even something that is expected, they marketed it as one of the most important things. That shit is vile as an addition, let alone as a mainpiece.
you can ignore the romance you homosexual, its irrelevant
why does it matter if some people play the game for moronic reasons like that? the game is still pretty good
Because it's made FOR people who want a gay sex simulator, gameplay is second fiddle. Because it's a success commercially, other shit studios will focus on making games in the same vein when it comes to story and characters.
As a game it's so-so, as a product it's horrendus because it made money and news.
>Because it's made FOR people who want a gay sex simulator
then it's pretty fricking bad at that considering there's about one sex scene per 40 hours of gameplay
people beat the game in a weekend, most of it is fluff
>you can beat a text heavy game pretty fast if you mash space bar a lot to skip the text
epic...
>admitting most of the game is pointless filler bioware cutscenes
I accept your transition.
You are a goddamn moron if you think mocking people for slapping the spacebar and skipping dialogue is the same as admitting there's nothing worthwhile to read. Like holy shit, shut the frick up, you win at making me mad and that's it
>there's nothing worthwhile to read
correct
its a fricking rpg you moron
being text heavy should be expected
99% of the gameplay in the original game is adventuring
No, it isn't.
How is it not? The only people that talk to you are quest givers, companions and enemy npcs sometimes
lol
Nta but that's literally BG1. It's not very exciting, but that's how it was. BG2 was more modern in is design. And huge.
all 369 of them beat the game in the first 4 days lol
>Because it's made FOR people who want a gay sex simulator, gameplay is second fiddle.
>you can go wild with gameplay customization with what kind of characters you want in combat
>full mage artillery
>balanced fighter, rogue, wizard, cleric
>make everyone sneaky for the most damaging and instant kill death squad
>throwables for messy floors and elemental chaos
and that's not counting the conversations where you can get more allies for a fight, make other people fight each other, or make the fight kill themselves in shame
you have deluded yourself into thinking any of that matters when there's a culture war to be won
sorry my bad, xir
Man I hate you fricking gays with your 'culture war' bullshit. It's not wanting to be served shit. Why do you even try to coin a phrase for something so natural is beyond me.
Oh, wait, it's not. You are one of the homosexuals serving shit in a disguise of a guest. Black person.
I did not ask for your feedback. Speak when spoken to, Rajesh.
Appreciate the ready-made copypaste, Black person.
You're not worth more.
that is just not true, the gay sex simulator is there for a certain demographic who probably play on story mode and use 10h to make their custom characters
I'm absolutely fine with the devs adding this if it sells more games, as long as it doesn't compromise the rest of the game
and it doesn't seem to do that as you can ignore it
>gamer gate taught them to be
No one gave a frick about GG
Gamer Gate is the new hall of cost. People don't like the shit you peddle? They must be culture war incels from GG.
It's the new hip way to swat away criticism by the same israelites in the industry.
I don't remember people pointing to gamergate whenever some trash was being marketed and there was pushback here, at least not until recently. You can tell the demographic of Ganker is worse every year, even when you think it's at the lowest possible point it still gets worse.
>even when you think it's at the lowest possible point it still gets worse.
That's generational shifts for you
Lack of proper selection and gatekeeping if you ask me. I am sure there are enough autistic homosexuals in every generation to keep Ganker culture going, this is just a free real estate at this point.
How do we gatekeep on an open image board?
By being who we are, the presence alone drives away those who aren't like us. Sadly Ganker isn't as free as it was.
If you want a practical example of declawing, gore to this day drives away shills and homosexuals, yet it's a no-no. Mods and jannitors are inflitrated, real gaming threads are deleted while slide threads and advertisment is left. You can and will get banned for saying Black person and homosexual at least once a year due to some moron on the mod team.
The game is propaganda, moron
Nothing enjoyable about experiencing propaganda
the only current politics theme i've seen in the game so far is the refugee shit and they present them as what they are, fricking thieves and shit
tieflings still your shit in the game lmao
besides the moronic companion romance system the game has no obvious propaganda
right it's a soulless corporate product with soulless corporate identity politics
what games do you consider soulful?
the writing is shallow but it's still better than other turn based rpgs which there is little of anyway
DOS2 was a joke when it released so buying this game expecting a decent plot is your fault
>buying
lol
lmao even
you probably wouldn't be as satisfied with the game's mediocrity if you bought it for full price 3 years ago
i enjoy the tactics and turn based combat story is background noise
if we could invade other player's worlds (you can't pause the game as if it were always online) i would have bought it just for that
>multiculti societies everywhere in a medieval fantasy setting when the only believable case would be different races living in different kingdoms like IRL history
>homosexual, troony and drag queen characters everywhere, when zero would exist in reality in such a setting, it would be patriarchal ethnically homogeneous societies everywhere
>emasculated male characters and stronk wamen everywhere
>zoomer haircuts and blue/green hair color everywhere
Its nothing but propaganda, you're just so fricking moronic its somehow impossible for you to see what is right in front of you.
This game has zero relation anymore to the original D&D source material from decades ago. The game takes place in an AIDS infested Black personhomosexual world that only deranged Cultural Marxists could think of.
I'm not playing your pozzed game. Any pozzed game. Ever.
And I will continue to ridicule anyone who does or even mentions any such games.
it's a modern goyslop game made for american audiences
it's in the image of the usa
white man's game is stuff like kingdom come which i want to play as well
All you need to know is that Belgians made it.
the two major rpgs from europe have made me hate those countries
maybe we should just go back to killing each other IRL
dnd isn't europe medieval history. it's american setting so you get american "humans". if you want to play medival game play kingdome come, not fricking dnd
>homosexual/troony/drag queen characters everywhere
My guy there are a few in Baldur's Gate, the setting's largest city, and one runs the carnival. If you played Baldur's Gate 1 (doubt you did you dishonest israelite) you'd know the carnival was full of weird degenerates, much like real world carnies. So holy shit you're a fricking clown, maybe you should go sign up at your county Faire?
>the only troony in the game is at the carnival
>this game is heckin pozzed and woke
lol
Be patient, friend. I am building a cRPG with RTWP that will be based and not gay.
Every NPC will be available as an in depth companion. There will be stat differences between genders.
Harems, killing nephilims, swords, warlocks, etc.
You are a shitskin obviously, its not meaningless to Aryans that there is hateful propaganda against our race and the way of life we find appealing in all media now
Your opinion is invalid because it is the opinion of a 3rd world untouchable sanitation worker
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like a little b***h? Because you do. Imagine feeling threatened by a video game.
guy's not even white.
It's not the game itself. It's the idea it represents being shoved down our throats recently in every media. Even if you aren't white know that your life will be shittier without whites.
Greasy Brazilian fingers typed this post
You are not an "Aryan", you are a 5'4 swarthy teen
>still doing it
Why do you morons always double down? kek
>based on meaningless politics
hey pervert, a bunch of disgusting queers and cross dressing freaks are revolting to normal people. we're not like you.
also if it's meaningless, then why are these homosexuals inserting it into every facet of the game? because they're a bunch of perverts and pedophiles.
they should have just called this game Sodom's Gate 3
>gays all over the staff
>queer companions intitiate gay romances with you

Man I sure want to frick spiders
You're afraid of spiders too? You really are a fricking queer kek
I don't give a shit how """""'"'fun and deep""""""""" your game is. The second you put in literal Resetera-tier propaganda, i.e. body types instead of man and woman, is the very moment that I reject your mind virus and mind poison. I don't need to play any games that eradicate man and woman as concepts and pushes transexual dogmatism of body types. I honestly don't care how much sex you have in your game, body types is troony shit.
For the record, I mod almost every game that I can to have naked women and custom textures
so your a brain dead coomer from pol, cool. thanks for the worthless opinion

yeah i defend troony body types because i played games in the late 90s and early 2000's when gamers werent such think skinned homosexuals and we thought it was funny to do that shit instead of cry about it on the internet
>yeah i defend troony body types because

nah. what are you gonna do about it, cry more?

Get stabbed and robbed please

give me some anime e-girls
frick america and their gay ass tastes lol
If you unironically think people are playing the game to own the chuds it is actually over for you
Thats not what he said.
>virtue signal
> people say "EWWW i hate gays get out my videogame"
Its outrage marketing. People on both sides get mad and talk about The Latest Product, regardless of they're engagement with it.
You got me, I'm just pretending to like good things.
Holy frick take your meds.
He's kinda right though
>tens of millions of people are spending $60 for the sole purpose of letting all their friends know that they approve of le gays
If you can read the above and think "seems reasonable", take a break from the internet for one month.
Sounds crazy but same thing happened with Brokeback Mountain, Dzanga, etc.
Brokeback Mountain is a story explicitly about gay sex. Baldur's Gate 3 isn't, believe it or not. If you brought up this idea to anyone outside this bubble they would think you categorically bonkers.
When playing a male character can you get your 100% male companions to bang girls? If not 100% what's the actual %?
>anon doesn't know why brokeback mountain was successful
You know how a lot of guys are into lesbian porn?
So Baldur's Gate 3 was made for fujos?
its the exact opposite. its virtue signaling from obnoxious tards addicted to culture war outrage. "i hate this goyslop so much right bros haha so based"
It's a whimsical rpg set in baldurs gate universe where you play as Baldur and keep your gate
It's a CRPG that's (poorly) using the 5th edition dnd system, hyped up as a gritty adventure with an early access years ago that has culminated in a half baked game where the adventure is full of woke bullshit and your companions only give you the option to jump their bones or insult them at the FIRST CHANCE when you rest.
It's amazing how people defend it and they've barely played it.
The marketing as all sex too. Bear sex, choose and customize your junk. This is a CRPG, if I wanted a porn game the japs have this slop beat a thousand times.
This. Basically woke sex ads. Mfkas eating corpo ad agenda like it's a frickin oxygen.
>You SHEEPLE just want to be part of a HERD
>implying npcs get the rewards instead of giving them
moron-kun, I...
true, it's zoomoid normalgays latching onto fotm
People really need to drop the computer rpg niche bullshit. Every fricking soul on this planet has heard of Fallout, Planescape Torment or Baldurs Gate, even if they havent played them, even if they've never owned a PC. These are some of the most influential games ever made, and some of the highest rated games ever. The "niche" horseshit hurts my ears.
Also, this is the 9th most played game in steam's entire history, not far from Cyberpunk or Elden Ring. Its not the most "popular turn based game". Its more popular than ANY game. This has sold close to 10 million copies already based on the CC numbers and will certainly go way pass that in the following months. You’re not fricking special in any way at all.
>Are normies really pretending like they played these games and that baldur's gate was a huge thing or am I gaslighting myself?
same thing happened with Elden Slop and Armored Core
>same thing happened with Elden Slop and Armored Core
cope
i've been a fromsoft fan since day one
seethe harder tendie
Yeah he should have called it Armored Cope
same anon, I dislike Zelda far more than ER, DS is pretty good
its just a fun game
it's the new fotm game for consoomers to just buy and play because it has le handsome elf man. Gaming is so shit these days
found the weeb
sorry xvi sucked so bad
Completely fabricated marketing by the gaming media
"OMGOSH DEVS ARE ANGRY BECAUSE BALDUR'S GATE 3ᵀᴹ IS SO FRICKING GOOD THAT NO GAME WILL EVER BE ABLE TO LIVE UP TO ITS QUALITY!"
This, what transparent bullshit.
Now we're gunna pretend BG3 isn't a buggy mess.
Act 3 is broken as shit but it still manages to be less buggy than most aaa games which is impressive
Graphical bugs ruining cutscenes before you even get to the underdark say otherwise.
I've only seen this twice and I'm in act 3
~~*Good*~~ marketing.
Bear sex became a meme. That's it. Whoever came up with the decision to show that deserves a raise.
It it just one good move, far from enough to garner so much attention. Before the reveal it was shilled everywhere like it's the second coming of gaming.
It's a good and extremely complex game that spent six years in full development and it shows. It has very very good word of mouth. Also isn't wrong either, the bizarre bear sex meme popped up right before release and had everyone talking about it.
>no where near this popular when the first 2 were around.
Vidya was smaller then. Baldur's Gate was pretty much considered the god of western RPGs for a long time.
extreme shilling
>new game comes out and people enjoy it
>anon feels threatened and confused
What?
>pretending that baldur's gate was a huge thing
Are modern Ganker users real ? It's one of the biggest names in gaming history.
Of course schizos need to find conspiracies in everything but BG3 is a great game, that's really all there is to it. It was in early access for a long time and it was obvious that the game would be great if they didn't frick it up for the complete release.
Shill defense force.
Majority of gamers today never played BG and don't give a shit about RPGs in general.
Don't reply to me if you're just going to larp as illiterate, Black person
Post more cats Black personhomosexual
>It's one of the biggest names in gaming history.
lol? Its not even in the top 50
i'll put it in terms you can understand: imagine if fortnite went away for 20 years then got a big-budget sequel. the younger gamers wouldn't give a shit, but you zoomies would be losing your shit
What the frick? are you actually trolling? baldurs gate 1 and 2 is not even in the top 20 biggest crpgs
When brown people get upset by something, they get EXTREMELY vocal.
I've noticed this too, all the shitposting is coming from brownoids. Are they just upset their calculators can't run the game or what? It doesn't even have DRM so it's not a matter of being unable to pirate it.
>Are they just upset their calculators can't run the game or what?
Pretty much this combined with the game being so text-heavy that it's incomprehensible to them.
You should have seen Day 1 where all of them were sperging about pirating the game, making white male paladins (because Paco's greatest fantasy is being a white male paladin, of course), and then immediately getting their oath broken by killing the Tieflings holding Lae'zel. It was hilarious how frequently it happened.
>immediately getting their oath broken by killing the Tieflings holding Lae'zel
I almost entirely refuse to believe anything can break an oath considering the mindflayer macguffin power, though maybe the game considers lying to get the trust of and murdering the evil aligned character the ideal strat of a vengeance paladin. if all it takes is being mean to the hekkin tieflingirinos then that really is some bullshit.
It's not Vengeance, they were going Devotion to be le heckin Lawful Good smiting templar and then chimping out on some random Tieflings because they have red skin.
>don't kill the frog woman guys (get attacked, violate oath for killing "Innocents")
>lie to save both parties (violate oath)
>kill the morons attacking anyone on the road who isn't like them (violate oath)
fricking around I may have started combat through a failed intimidation check, but my paladin was definitely able to kill the tiefling morons. if non vengeance paladins have to hold to larion reddit morality that tiefling dindu nuffin and mind parasite powers don't violate your oath, wew fricking lad. the class doesn't even get gud until near the end of act1 with lv5
It’s been 18 years and I still cannot help jerking off every time someone posts this picture
rape
It's a lot of shilling and used as a troll for Ganker.
/thread
same shit was attempted with battlebit but without the budget.
>battlebit
I cannot wait for this game to die.
?
it's already dying, all FOTM's do.
you're just being contrarian now
battlebit exploded because battlefield is shit and pro gay/feminist now
>battlebit exploded because battlefield is shit and pro gay/feminist now
2042 was broken shit but battlebit was shilled here though.
battlebit always was a thing to begin with, it's no surprise it's still played by 30k people
battlefield really shit the bed
it's a 5e game, 5e is still ludicrously popular and the crossover between tabletop and regular video game enjoyers is probably high if not 1:1
>normies buy into shilling
>never played a turn based top down rpg so they have no palette
>woah this rpg has party management and story choices???!? Gotyay!!!!
It’s pretty simple. Totk is the same where it doesn’t do anything genre defining but normies that play 1 game a year think it’s revolutionary.
>Are normies really pretending like they played these games and that baldur's gate was a huge thing or am I gaslighting myself?
Yeah, people like things sometimes. Is it really that hard for you to understand?
It's like the only AAA game to come out in the past 2 years
Larian is not an AAA studio, and BG3 was not an AAA game. These things do have meanings, you should find them out before posting authoritatively on it, and making yourself look like an idiot.
shills
Is this a bot? How does this image relate to the current thread?
moronic Black person
Be less brown in the future, thanks.
he's saying that it has been confirmed in the past for shills to promote games here so it is likely other companies employ the same tactics
Imagine the smell
>redditfrog
have a nice day
>popular title comes out

>you morons come out of the woodwork and call it a conspiracy
it's like clockwork. unironically take your meds
There were like 50 threads up at a time thats not entirely normal
You think you have an understanding of normal? lol
How many threads for the new zelda slop?
>spam threads with 0webms of gameplay
>replies encompass journalistic tier reviews about how much fun they’re having
>I-it’s genuine I promise!!
funny how that has no replies.
if your gameplay looks good in a webm then you've made a game for adhd spazbrains. Roleplaying isn't flashy.
Welcome to literally any popular game that isn't on a Nintendo platform
You'll be seeing the same behavior with Starfield and AC6 later this month
Gigantic shilling campaign, also known as ""marketing""
Streamers are gifted or offered in extreme discount the game for them to play, incels (internet celebrities) post about it because streamers are streaming it as well. Most zoomies play it (or watch someone play it) due to streamers and incels playing it so they spam their feed with it. Cyclical recycling of such content makes it appear extremely viral to the affected and viral to those uninterested due to the sheer volume of shit. Finally, hire one or two goons to moderate bots spamming threads of the game in question until people get fricking tired and other people make threads about the game for easy (You)s. This wouldn't happen in 4chad if everyone was autistic like it was meant to be. Now it appears it is the biggest thing ever and the next coming of jesus but to those aware its blatant shilling and better competitors in the past and future (arcanum, planescape, pathfinder, rogue trader, etc) assures this will not get past the fotm phase.
Basically this, nowadays marketing is social media. Campaigns had become extremely effective.
Nice post.
So with that logic, no one actually likes anything and there's always an underlying reason or they've been manipulated or paid off into liking it? Maybe, but no.
Pretty much
Culture war Black folk don't actually have hobbies, they just get mad about product and get mad about next product.
No. Some people actually like some things and they have no underlying reason and haven't manipulated or paid off into liking it. See, the other recurring threads about actual videogames which are between 1 and 20+ years old.
That said, proving or thinking that the recurring threads about actual videogames which are between 1 and 20+ years old are actually shilling campaigns is hard, especially if the devs behind it are indie and could realistically not afford such a year extending shilling campaign, and its easier to think that people are dedicated to the game because they like it or love it.
However, just like
said, in the post-culture war era its easier to think and prove that recently released games backed by big companies wanting their piece of cake can afford and will perform a big shilling campaign to all the corners of the internet, and because normalhomosexuals, susceptible to manipulation and extremely vocal, have become way more common, you can be lead to believe that alot more people enjoy the stuff when atleast half of them are just for the ride with everyone else and the other half will get off as soon as they see a shinier and louder bus.
homosexual your pro-LGBT Ruka thread died, you should do the same.
>streamers play it
>hour 18 and still not in the underdark
>viewers got bored and stopped watching 3 days ago
many such cases. I fully believe the 6-9% act 1 completion rate.
Yeah it's extremely blatant and anyone who says Ganker has never been the target of shill campaigns is mental or one of them.
The bear marketing campaign was extremely successful
Also the fact normalgays like RPGs now
Marketing. Casuals are moronic.
I have friends who've never even heard of BG asking me if they should purchase it.
Really sad stuff.
It's a competent cRPG that captured casuals who watch Critical Role, so they're new to these kinds of mechanics.
>baldurs gate is extremely popular
>5e is extremely popular
>larian is popular
>bear sex makes the game go viral
>poltards shill it for free with their seething
i don't know anon, why could the game possibly get attention?
You forgot the pozzpigs shilling it nonstop and defending it from le poltards.
right. even more reasons
They do get mad so easily, it's great
Literally nothing makes a tacoman more angry than playing video games
she looks like she does anal
Shills followed by useful morons thinking they are trolling by shilling for free.
Normie homosexuals eat it up and game sells.
It's not hard to figure it out.
Or people liked it, and were looking forward to it.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THIS Black person
Nothing is popular today purely due to merit, it's all marketing. If you don't pay people to advertise it on every corner of the web you will never reach mainstream because some other gay will do all of the required shilling for his thing.
This. The only games people actually play are the ones that run on Chang and Pepito's library computers. Literally no game released in the last decade has sold well.
It's definitely a popular franchise among it's own niché community but that's kind of the point, zoomoids and a lot of people that are now playing this wouldn't touch turn based unless it was suddenly the in thing which it is. Clever marketing, unironic shilling and the emphasis on the sexual scenes is what helped this game blow up more than anything. A few days ago before the normalBlack folk truely picked up on it the achievement for completing the first act was 0.1% or something ridiculously low. I'm on act 3 now and it's about that. It's become the trendy new thing but not with out all the aforementioned marketing. The amount of people that picked up WotR or Kingmaker, or any other CRPG is very low.
>A few days ago before the normalBlack folk truely picked up on it the achievement for completing the first act was 0.1% or something ridiculously low.
Steam achievements always bug the frick out on day 1 for pretty much every game, if you go to the main Achievements page it'll show the correct percentages
People like things.
You are naive or trolling.
You will learn to tell apart shills and troll from actual gamers talking about the game eventually.
Tip of the day:
If a game has steam release check it's negative reviews.
Top negative steam reviews are usually written by gamers of taste and experience talking about the actual game, what you can expect, how it runs, contents, lore etc etc.
Unlike the clowns with jojo profile pic at positive reviews or anonymous homosexuals making video game "discussion" threads here.
>Top negative steam reviews are usually written by gamers of taste and experience talking about the actual game

Literally none aside from the viral marketing we're seeing on Ganker and twitter.
>>with the exception of ubislop, Nintendo, and indies, game studios are taking like 6+ years to put out new games so fricking nothing comes out anymore
This year has been jampacked with games and AC6 as well as Starfield are weeks away from coming out. It feels like this only took off on Steam because the only big summer releases were console exclusives.
off popularity of 5e
Literally who?

>jampacked with games and AC6 as well as Starfield
exactly, bg3 competes with games like that so of course it's well recieved
Even Starfield with its FO4 combat absolutely mops the floor with Baldgay's coma inducing gameplay.
this will ultimately be the case, zoomers will flock to the more polished combat experience
forgot your ADD meds while playing, zoomie?
Seethe homosexual. Go suck off Cthulu with your alphabat soup friends.
you're already seething enough for both of us.
>n-no u
Enjoy your 15 minutes lol.
what are you even saying
>boomer
>doesnt recognize 15 minutes of fame
Brainrot from playing so many shitty games in your childhood.
Case in point
Literally only took off so much on Steam because its a timed PC exclusive. We'd see half this many players if it was a simultaneous release on all platforms, and even then the point and click nature is better suited for mkb.
>Literally who?
Why do people on this site get away with being so confidently ignorant these days?
>ac6
Nobody really cares about a new armored core they just want to play the newest fromsoft game let's be honest here
Only my gay friends are talking about it. It isn't even wishlisted by any of my normie friends. Feels like only crusty homosexuals who should have quit gaming years ago bought it.
Ya it was all just a massive psy-op to promote homosexualry.
Actually really impressive when you consider the resources involved
>good game
>shit industry
>Divinity 1 and 2 were fairly popular
>D&D at height of popularity
>nerd shit at height of popularity
>genitals
>no micro-transaction for those who care
>Twitter drama from other moron devs
There you go, perfect storm for an already great game.
d&d is not at the height of popularity my dude, its been dead for quite some time, and there are no games with d&d anymore, thats why everyone moved to pathfinder
ive been craving D&D games since forever, but im gonna wait for more patches for BG3, their shit is still broken and basic skills dont even work still
Maybe it's just where I live then? There are loads more active D&D groups and like main stream white bread normies getting into it where I live, way more than when I was growing up. I live pretty rural too.
>thats why everyone moved to pathfinder
How's the weather in bizarro world? D&D is being played by more people right now than ever before. I'd even bet big bucks on there being more people still running 3.5e than Pathfinder.
Divinity 1 & 2 were not popular, you are aware divinity is not divinity: original sin, right? Do you morons ever google before posting?
divinity 1 and 2 are so unpopular people pretend they don't exist and it's only original sin
The first game is (was) certainly not unpopular.
looks like a witcher 1/nwn clone
That's an insane take. More like a diablo, in most aspects. Quests are more crpg-like though.
The first game, Divinity, was released in 2004 and practically nobody has ever heard of it. It's so unpopular, fricking morons like you think DOS:1 was the first divinity game.
>2004
Sigh.
He clearly means DivOS, anon.
DOS:1, DOS:2 if you want to be brief, but Divinity II was a different game entirely, use the right names, they're both CRPGs from Larian. Is it that fricking hard?
I meant DOS1 & 2. change your diaper and fix your bib you fricking whiner, everyone just refers to it as Divinity 1 and 2
I got into it in late high school through a friend group. So I'm biased but I thought it was good throughout so probably just not for you.
dont worry theyll forget once starfield comes out, same with d4, literally no threads no one gives a frick or talks about it like it even existed at any point in time
I literally bought this just to have something new to play while I wait for Starfield, so you're probably right.
>people stop talking about a new game once it's no longer new
whoa
I saw two SF threads yesterday.
And?
Just wait until the aspie spamming these threads starts spamming anti-starfield threads which will probably last into the winter
It will be worse, because this has shills and those who wear nostalgia glasses, hoping BG3 will be just as good as they remember BG was.
Bethesda has unironic fanboys who will do all of this for free.
Are you moronic? This isn't 25 years ago where d&d and pc gaming is niche. There are a lot of people who are interested in d&d 5e from ecelebs but never got to play it, so having a vidya single-player foem of it was always going to be a recipe for success
like every time a game gets a frickton of Ganker threads shitting on it, the game is fun
Dev interns shill their company's games here for free
Isn't this actually proven
Happens every single time a new game with marketing money behind it comes out
Yeah but I'm pretty sure devs have actually owned up or accidentally doxed themselves here before
It was proven multiple times, and far more than just games. It literaly costs the company nothing to tell some gay employee to post on here, reddit and twitter how much they enjoyed the game. Like an avalanche, people will discuss shit on their own once it reaches a critical point of popularity.
i mean battlefront2 was the biggest case in point, i'm sure some oldgay can bring up the huge image compilation of the many threads made about it.
Dead internet / chatbots / homosexual hipster interns
If you believe 1/10th of what you see on an anonymous image board you are a Black person.
The only real truth of this board, or any other, is;
Frick jannies

>I hope that was elucidating
>Dead internet
There's no escaping this, it's so over
Well we got AI manipulating stocks for years, it was bound to happen.
~50% of internet traffic is bots. (look it up). ~50% of human internet traffic is indistinguishable from bots. (my opinion)
>tired meme
>tired meme
>tired meme
kek
I know the FBI has doxed themselves on here before so I knew for a fact devs have
Doesn't even need to be an employee any more. Feed a bot a lot of posts from whatever site you want to shill on then have it go to town for you, hiring marketing firms is common too and they don't even need to disclose that they're shilling like streamers do. They're also paying shills and using bots to shit on other games. All that Elden Ring hate wasn't organic it was a mix of corporations and fanboys trying to make people not buy a competing product.
Happens on every site now too, it's why every site feels the same and why everyone's opinions always seem to overlap. The same shill companies are praising and hating things using the exact same talking points.
>brown people out of nowhere

Yeah. Aqua is best girl.
How did people like this slop? I read 15 chapters and couldn't stomach in any more. Does it get better later?
what you are seeing is post-gamergate hype and sensationalism
gamergate was industry orchestrated in order to push away the older, original audience for an eternal era of "perfect consoomers"
Its a modern day bioware game. Whats hard to understand? Also it helps a lot that larian has a great track record with dos games
>games can only be of value if their predecessors were succesful
you're a braindead Black person and there's nothing for you to understand, you do not have the capabilities to do so
nobody gives a frick about games they didn't play before, and nobody gives a frick if a new game comes from said games or not, all that matters is if the game is good and/or if the game is being played by their favorite e-celeb
Social media-derived personality modification.
hard astroturfing started with the bear, do not engage
larian isn't publicly traded
The people who own DnD are publicly traded
Oh.
Everyone that uses WotC IPs is obligated by the contract they have to make the worlds EXACTLY as WotC demands
Enough of your cope in every single thread
WotC is run by israelites and owned by Hasbro which is run by israelites, and the stock is largely owned by Blackrock and Vanguard groups
And every single dev who makes D&D, MTG, or other WotC owned setting, HAS to make it pozzed because WotC demands it and they can revoke the contract if they do not obey
GPT?

all the theater kids and tumblrites who play DnD came out of the woodwork to defend bear sex
Because it's being shilled by paid shills

>where did all of the baldur's gate attention come from?
When a bunch of game developers started publicly doing damage control on Twitter, saying that Baldur's Gate 3 was going to be too good of a game.
I have never seen that before.
I remember BG3 releasing on early access years ago, but had completely forgotten about it. Now I'm playing it and it's refreshing to just rolls some dice and have 12 levels total
Game is quite simple in many ways
How do /misc/Black folk cope with knowing this game is objectively an enormous financial success?
>israelite methods make you a winner in israelite marketplace
WOW

Ah, I see.
Yes. Why be mad about a symptom when the source is way worse?
>Go woke go broke, libtards!
Who are you quoting?
The type of homosexual that writes "israelite marketplace".
Ah, so your imagination. At least make a tulpa dumb Black person, instead of being a demoralized gay.
>completely morally bankrupt, wholly embracing metaphysical material culture, absolutely self aware of how your product has no intellectual value and is complete garbage

Are you antisemitic?
Yes, and your israeli tactics at attempting to subvert an objective success will not work.
oy vey
Seems like the opposite.
Perish the thought
Well what you're describing is a company that is compeltely morally bankrupt whose only goal is to maximize profit by any means necessary and this is a board about videogames, so pointing out how this is a bad thing is the right thing to do, no?
What exactly are they doing that's morally bankrupt? They didn't go with the flow of AAA wienersuckers and jack the game's price up to $70, they aren't nickle and dimeing the playerbase with DLC and microtransactions, and the game has no DRM. I'm not seeing anything morally bankrupt about the game.
>reboot a long dead series with characters that were killed off and bring them back from the dead to make a soulless FOTM original sin 2 clone
yeah totally not morally bankrupt
The only similarity it has to D:OS is that it's turn based. If you had actually played the game you'd know that apart from that they're dramatically different. Also if they had gone with RTWP like BG 1 & 2 you would just screech about how they're copying Obsidian and that it's a rip off of PoE instead.
who the frick are you schizoid?
It has high system requirements and costs $60 which makes it incredible racist against russians, filipinos, etc. They could have been more considerate of Ganker's main demographics.
>Monetary success is the only metric of value for a product
It's over, he is too far gone.

Black person baldurs gate 1 and 2 released in 1998 and 2000. if you were caught playing video games then you would instantly be part of the minority ultra nerd caste that is gamers, of course you arent going to hear anyone talking about it. but then again, you were probably literally not even a sperm when this happened
No but the game was out in early access for 5 years and everyone that had that got the full game all at once.
This is probably the answer, the game has been out for a while in EA, slowly accumulating sales, so when it "truly came out" all of those people got counted as release day sales.
Only the first act was ever available in EA and that's not even close to a third of the game
That's irrelevant as far as what counts as a sale or not, but I don't care about sales I care about good games. Good thing this is good
Perhaps i expressed it poorly, never meant it was "fully out", but every EA buy was counted as a day1 buy, which explains the big number, adding to that the little bear stunt which im not sure truly how many sales or attention it really got in the cultural zeitgeist, but the spotlight was enough for people to pay attention to the game long enough for them to flaunder the "day1 sales" in their faces, and as we know, mankind is a social species with herd mentality, so they look at big number of sales and thing "if everyone is doing it then i will to", which explains why people who never touched CRPGS, let alone BG as a series would suddenly get involved.
I dont care either way, as i have no interest in this game, but it has been making enough waves that it peaked my curiosity to see what is going on some of these threads. If you like BG then good for you as a sequel is most likely secured if the devs take advantage of this lucky chance they got.
Summer drought means any major game release will be all anybody talks about, especially if the game is even half-decent.
this girl is probably like 35 now.
She hit the wall
its not the lore of baldurs gate, its the game system
and word gets around after people try it, like and tell their friends
It's because of the bear sex scene. If not for that, all the trannies, homosexuals, and tourists here wouldn't even care about the game.
shill and lefty
first the game is fun and by crpg standard the management of the classes are easy so the shill are not lying and it is a nice introduction into crpg
second: lefty, because this game have bear/man to man sex they will go sperg on this, they don't actually play the game but they will champion and games that have trans or bestialities in it, remember bridget from guilty gear? yeah that and no one still play guilty gear, as a matter of fact the population of fighting game community has been shrinking.
>playing through game, around 32h in
>read threads from anons claiming there's constant woke stuff and tons of sex, their companions trying to frick them nonstop and all sorts of shit
>have never banged any of my companions or noticed anything that I'd consider woke
Something tells me these anons might not have played the game.
Well yeah of course not. Only wokeshit I saw was the lesbian couple and the drag queen troony in the circus.
the people shilling the game have not played the game either, every person that plays the game says it was "meh"
Congratulations, you've caught onto all these threads being poorly made bait threads by shills to bait people into off topic posting in their threads
>every person that plays the game says it was "meh
sauce?
would you like to be a contrarian today?
oh right I don't consider people who say they enjoy turn based and that's literally all they got out of the game "human"
>immediately descends into angry tardbabble
>saying the game is good is contrarian
Uh...
Yes saying "the game is good because I like turn based" is something I would consider a particularly subhuman opinion
do you agree with that?
I don't particularly care for turn-based, though it's better than RTWP. What does that have to do with the current discussion?
I like the game and don't really like it more than I would if it were rtwp really. Weird take
>I like the game
Why
It's good and makes brown people on Ganker really angry by existing. Two great tastes that go great together.
>It's good
why
Extremely complex levels of world interaction and dialogue autism that accounts for pretty much everything you could possibly do and every party composition you could have, which is the best thing possible for a game with as much fricking talking as most cRPGs have
Limited by the necessities of middling 5e combat because wotc a shit but that doesn't stop it from being good overall
>Extremely complex levels of world interaction and dialogue autism that accounts for pretty much everything you could possibly do
i convinced the druid b***h at Last Light that she didn't need to know why i could ignore the parasite, and the next scene i talk to her in she mentions that i can use my artefact to walk among the absolute cultists without suspicion which made me realize they didn't spend enough time to check if two conversations you can have back to back would make sense
but yeah you're mostly right
whats wrong with turn based? why are you even in a thread talking about a turn based game if you prefer something like cs or whatever you play
I've noticed that turn based really caters to morons, doubly so because wotc has been progressively dumbing down DnD since they acquired it so a DnD turn based game is really going to be for morons
Specifically the combat is waaaay too slow and heaps advantages and debuff spells on you and really feels artificial, like the game doesn't trust the player to understand the ruleset so it keeps lumping gimmicks on you, which probably has something to do with how dumbed down progressively DnD has gotten since 2000
>doubly so because wotc has been progressively dumbing down DnD since they acquired it so a DnD turn based game is really going to be for morons
Because it's complicated for most, so they streamlined it.
What you are left with is tic-tac-toe bullshit to keep your hands occupied, most attention is put on LARPing on the level of ERP.
Yeah I don't like busy work combat and I don't get off seeing my character turn people into pink chunks at level 1 either. Turn based is very "anime" just like the tabletop
>comes into a thread about a turn-based game and laments how much he despises them and the people who enjoy them
Are you moronic? Do you go into dance game threads and get mad at people who enjoy Just Dance?
There were turn-based games before RTwP, there were turn-based games during the heyday of RTwP, and there will be turn-based games long after RTwP has been relegated to the dustbin of history where it belongs.
Huh? I've played it and it's probably the best game this year homosexual
T. My cropped image
>this year
there's been like two games released this year you moron, what a moronic metric
And it will be better than any other hyped release this year I bet, starfield is going to be shit. I very much enjoyed pikmin 4, rain code and totk for what it's worth
>plays JRPGs unironically
oh of course you like BG3, my mistake
Literally none of those are Jrpgs you fricking idiot
What's an JRPG?
Most they are turn based games made in Japan in a particular style like 4 homies in a row
Rain code is a detective game like danganronpa there is 0 turn based anything. Pikmin is a strategy game, and totk is an "adventure" game
OK do you concede that assassin's creed or is a wrpg? I guess that's consistent
>assassin's creed is a wrpg
lol no, asscreed is corporate slop and largely the reason why we're even having this discussion. Asscreed was the first popular game to not have "idea guys" and instead focus test all their decisions. That's why it's a bland formula for morons, it was made for moronic people
Corporate slop is a game genre?
Yes, it's a product entirely composed of focus testing and outsourced assets/content
like this game
Tears of the kingdom is a quintessential JRPG with side activities
>Tears of the kingdom is a quintessential JRPG
Yes
I have transcended. nu zelda isn't an adventure game, it's just a console JRPG with puzzles
It also makes you wonder what their secret fantasies are if this is what they're making up.
nice crackychan
BG2 can be seen in a lot of top 100 games of all time
So people might know a bit of this game without really playing it
I think it's top 50 on metacritic... Also, bg2 still best RPG
I don't mind bg3 and I guess the attraction it got won't hurt the video game industry. And it's probable few thousands of 12yo kids end up play this and get the same fun that we did with fallout, diablo and bg back then too.
what's the story behind this image?
That's creepy chan homosexual
Lurk more.
>it when it was no where near this popular when the first 2 were around
Anyone who was a PC gamers knew about the games. Like how you would know about Duke Nukem even if you don't play shooters.
And the most ridiculous thing about this is how expensive it is.
Most indie devs have to put low price on their games because they have hard time getting any audience at all,
and hyperhyped shit like BG3 gets all the attention in the world and puts such a high price.
It's "rich get richer and poor get poorer thing".
>And the most ridiculous thing about this is how expensive it is.

Larian is pretty much an indie dev, but I guess you could say they are aa at best
It is average. like Da:O launch average it needs a lot of work.
>where did all of the baldur's gate attention come from?
Sex. It is just an adults only western hentai VN that normal people don't have to hide from being in their library.
>Are normies really pretending like they played these games and that baldur's gate was a huge thing
Yes? Not the first or the last series to turn into one giant case of FOMO.
the attention is different because we're 2 decades away from the originals. millions of people have finally been introduced into d&d more properly than satanic panic, millions of more people are playing video games, millions of more people are into "nerd" shit.
another reason is we're also deep in a shitty video game era where AAA is trying desperately to milk money out of people with low effort cash grabs, extreme homogenization, and getting people hyped from advertisements.
people are buying, playing, and talking about this game because they can spend $60 on an RPG that's giving people more freedom than whatever bullshit AAA devs attempt and a complete product that doesn't beg for more money afterwards.
we can debate on certain aspects of the quality of the game, but it's good enough that millions of people are praising it for not being the slop that has been releasing for nearly a decade now (strictly talking AAA casual gamers)
> people are buying, playing, and talking about this game because they can spend $60 on an RPG that's giving people more freedom than whatever bullshit AAA devs attempt and a complete product that doesn't beg for more money afterwards.
But isn't a BG3 a "bullshit AAA game"?
It seems it's extremely linear and visuals are painfully formulaic.
Don't know much about anything else because I haven't played it myself.
What's good about it at all?
>But isn't a BG3 a "bullshit AAA game"?
It is objectively not a AAA game. Larian is an indie dev that self-publishes and uses their own engine. They're much bigger than most indie devs, but they are again, objectively, indie.
Well, 30 year old "indie dev" somehow pulled a "bullshit AAA game" and now they're "bullshit AAA dev".
It reaches levels of AAA games with the visuals and even voice acting, it's about as polished as some AAA games as I've run into a few bugs here and there (unfortunately expected considering the size)
It touches the AAA level of quality you would expect many years ago without the current expectation of AAA games today being broken, half assed, or delaying parts of the game because it's not ready but they want your money anyway.
I don't want to say the game is perfect, but it's very good for what you pay for, especially when you compare it to other AAA releases
and the gameplay is fun and pretty satisfying, it's only "linear" in the sense that you WILL go to act 2 and 3 through a couple of paths, but all of the different things you can do on the way there are vast, wacky, and can easily give you at least a couple of playthroughs if you want to be as basic as Good and Evil campaigns
bullshit AAA in this case probably refers to microtransactions and a barely working game with missing content
BG3 works and is a complete game
it is not extremely linear, not really sure what to say about the visuals comment, I think the graphics are fine, formulaic in the sense its a DnD game sure I guess
what is good? you can approach situations in very many ways, you can kill or find some other solution, approach fights using a lot of different tools, there are 12 classes and each class has 3-8 subclasses (some subclasses of different main classes can function in a similar fashion, for example a shadow monk can work as a semi-rogue for thieving purposes), 11 races (40 subraces in total) which is mostly cosmetic I guess, but not completely, a lot of different magic, enviromental effects that can be exploited through use of magic (from spellacasters or scrolls), throwables, special arrows, just ambient enviromental stuff like flammable poisonous mushroom clouds or winebarrels, chasms where you can push or throw enemies to instakill them
its been a while since I played DOS2, but its somewhat similar to that, melee characters just feel a bit more useful from the start of the game and you aren't forced to disable/stunlock every enemy which got a bit samey after a while
the story and dialogue have been way more interesting in BG3 than DOS2 though, not sure which combat system I prefer at this point
AAA games are over $200 mil by mid to large studios. Larian is not an AAA studio, this game did not cost $200 mil plus, please stop using 'AAA' to describe shit that isn't 'AAA', moron.
the game was at least 100 million to make, which is hilarious
Holy frick, read the reply chain before you sound moronic yourself, moron
moron, I didn't say Larian is a AAA studio, the comment was with respect to "people are sick with AAA bullshit" and an interpretation of what AAA bullshit meant (microtransactions, incomplete and broken games, generally subpar shit)
None of those issues are limited to AAA studios, in fact, many smaller studios are responsible for barely any gameplay games that are filled to the brim with microtransactions. You think I don't understand what you're saying, but you're still an idiot because none of this shit relates to AAA designations. You chose your boogeyman, it just was a stupid boogeyman.
I'd rather you shut up instead of attempting to one-up anons because you made a mistake after being aggressive for no reason
I didn't make that argument in the first place, just speculated on what was meant by it
and if I may speculate some more, the problem with the mentioned stuff with respect to AAA studios in particular is that big AAA studios should have the resources not to have those problems, but they still do
>It seems it's extremely linear
it's one of the least linear games to come out recently
choices actually matter and change the main story, characters can become your best friend until the end or just die in first chapter when you meet them
if you meant the progression, yes, it's kinda linear, all players pretty much travel in the same zones in the same order because it's imposed by the story structure
other than that the amount of freedom is ridiculous
> millions of ppl
b***h why you lie? It didnt even break 900 thousand concurrent users on Steam.
>millions of people have finally been introduced into d&d
d&d anon
idk how your illiterate-ass brain got bg3 from d&d
it's the first feature complete video game we've gotten since Elden Ring, and i can't even remember the last time we got one of those before Elden Ring. Baldur's Gate and Elden Ring might be the only two feature complete games that have been released in the 9th Gen. people have been fricking dying for a new narrative-driven RPG experience too, Mass Effect Andromeda was garbage and all the Owlcat games look like they were made to run on a tablet. if you "don't get it" then you're just outta touch.
>all the Owlcat games look like they were made to run on a tablet.
The Owlcat games are pretty good, Pathfinder is just inherently more autistic so they're more niche than D&D
the Owlcat games have great character creation and class variety, but everything else about their games is mediocre if not downright tedious. don't even get me started on their companions, either. Owlcat games are like one step above Pillars of Eternity. i'm still buying Rogue Trader though, cause even a mediocre WH40k game looks outstanding compared to all the shovelware-tier jankshit 40k games on Steam.
it's crazy that we get so few feature complete releases these days that zoomers don't even know what the term means anymore. goddamn.
What is a "feature complete video game"?
>it's the first feature complete video game we've gotten since Elden Ring,
Hahaha wtf is a "feature complete video game"?
has all of its planned features on launch and not after 10 DLCs and 5 years
Also, Elder Ring looks like "bullshit AAA game" to me as well. Is it any good? Why should I play it?
Black person just pirate it and try it yourself if you're curious
>it’s another zoomie moron thread that thinks Baldur’s Gate are some niche indie games when they’ve been hailed as some of the greatest games ever made for decades and are now surprised at the amount of attention the 3rd game is getting after people have waited nearly 20 years for a sequel

dont have a horse in this race but none of Ganker's current dominant demographic were even born when BG 1 and 2 came out so I don't see how you could trust the vast majority of anon's opinions on its popularity to be informed at all

there's only one active fortnite thread homie, we're still no zoomer central
>>Ganker's current dominant demographic
He presumably meant pic related
so reddit is more of an american thing then
It's a good game
People on the videogame board like to talk about games that are good, its not rocket science
>why is there video game discussion on Ganker?
I have never played a Baldur's Gate and I have no idea what it is. I have been alive for over 31 years. People have latched into this shit because there are literally no games to play.
yup, it's a sad state of affairs
I don't care about drama or the opinions of others, public discourse is lost on me. I'm a simple man, I'll buy and enjoy any game that let's me be a necromancer. Simple as.

Game is released.
And don't be mistaken, places like Ganker with constant prerelease clearly fakest of the fake outrage over bear shit is a major source of advertisement and sales to unaware folk. Streamers and more hitting people with "check out this bear scene" "check out this sex scene" capitalizing on the internet maymay of the week. (that was not only here, as this place mimicks many websites and platforms.)
>7.2 Billion Minutes Watched in One Week
I'm tired of people thinking of ways to create hilariously large numbers for normalgays to go "wohhh must be good"
Ok but that wacky metric is higher than just about everything that was ever created by humans. Maybe these new alien friends visiting us made a show that had more minutes per week of watching.
what else should people be playing? it's been a pretty shit year for games overall.
this year is pretty stacked with potential goty nominees and tons of solid titles. tears of the kingdom, re4r, diablo 4, ff16, bg3, sf6, starfield and ac6. we also had tons of slightly less critically acclaimed but still good games like star wars jedi survivor, hi fi rush, dead space remake, metroid prime remastered, harry potter terf edition, pikmin 4, remnant 2, octopath 2, wo long, system shock, jagged alliance 3, honkai star rail... didn't even mention indie games like oxenfree 2, viewfinder, paranormasight, pizza tower, terra nil, dredge, a space for the unbound, dave the diver, trepang2... lies if P and lords of the fallen are shaping up to be decent soulslikes and stalker 2 might also be released in december. cod and spiderman 2 will be huge among the biggest normie shitters. ff7r was annourced for winter (probably 2024) so we're only a few months away from the release date. what a year.
Like I said, not a great year.
maybe for stealth fans and quality immersive sims it was a dry year. racing fans will at least get new forza this year.
I'm surprised too. Turns out almost all people I know online are playing it, most of them only play MMOs or live service games but made an exception for BG3 and.... diablo 4.
I thought they played D4 because of blizzdroning, but the fact they play BG3 makes me reconsider that.
Turns out there's a huge unfulfilled demand for classic isometric RPGs that many people in their 25-35 crave (even normies)
I've been testing different crpgs since I tried this game and it fricking sucks, can't pick one to just delve into and play. thoughts?
maybe crpgs just aren't for you
they are, I just hate larian games because I have good taste
maybe you should go back to fortnite
don't play fortnite homosexual, but maybe you should kys
okay zoomer
Isn't this Creepy-chan? Whatever happened to her?
she came second on america's next top model, worked as a model for a bit, then got married and settled down
God, this is probably the first time I've seen Creepy Chan in like 10 years or so.
It's not that unusual if you've been into games for a long time

man Gankerpol/ is not having a good week are they
I don’t know how to describe it but we’ve entered a new sort of hive-mind marketing era.
Things like Barbie and BD3 never use to happen. It’s not from the marketing spend or the quality of the products, something has changed with the people.
>Things like Barbie
mk ultra is working
go woke go broke was always a dog shit meme. You homosexuals just live in a bubble where aspies will rewrite history everytime they're wrong.
Didn't disney have to buy billions worth of their own tickets so they could claim black panther and captain marvel didn't "go broke"
>t. anon's ass
>one movie
member when anons were bleating about this shit to black panther as well?
>moving the goalposts
yeah and if it hits 2 then you will be 'duhhh, well if you factor in this shit then it needs to be 5 billion!'
>anon doesn't know how word of mouth works
get some vitamin D, not the dick from a troony or a trap but from just stepping outside
frick I didn't even watch the movie cause the only barbies I like are pornstares injected with plastic all over but you anons are going to OD on that copium
>this one movie was successful so go woke go broke is totally bullshit
>ignores all of the flops disney's been shitting out
Tell me again how much profit Disney movies have made in the last 12 months. Barbie had an intense misleading marketing campaign. If Barbie 2 makes a billion, then your point will have been made.
>go woke go broke was always a dog shit meme
How do people know what the movie is about before seeing it?
It is a high profile game that has not been made by venture capital parasites
That's it
they dont need to make it its pozzed as frick already
made by literal nerd gaygets
praised by media
fricking midwit
i really wish they'd ban all politics from boards and force them onto
board isn't fun with Gankerpol/ injecting conservatism into everything
>NOOOOOO YOU SEE IF YOU DONT ACCEPT BODY TYPE PROPAGANDA YOU ARE BEING POLITICAL
>WHADDYA MEAN I AM BEING POLITICAL TOO???
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
nice little troll post, it will definitely make the mentally ill mad
>another sad samegay thread
get a new hobby moron and stop shitting up my board
>/misc/ /misc/ /misc/
How do they live so rent free in your minds?
because they live rent free all over the entire website, despite having a containment board. which is hilarious when you consider my little pony gays actually stick to their containment board, which makes pol literally worse and more obnoxious then literal pony frickers. literally, just to add one more literal into the post.
Sounding very seethy and reñt free
>seethy and reñt free
No hablo espanol, senor.
yeah, im seething, im mad at how much pol has singlehandedly ruined this website
The sincere poster being slowly outnumbered by unfunny edgelord outrage tourists/refugees from other sites is what ruined the website, not the existence of a politically incorrect board.
is any consumer ever justified in a "political" objection? must all objections be game-based? if concepts cannot be criticized, what aspects of a game can be questioned? if commercial consumerism must actually mean monetary impulsivity towards every new product by brand, at what point can criticism, of any kind, be raised?
They are the Mexicans/Muslims of Ganker. Can't seem to stay on their own shithole and refuse to adapt to other boards.
>they are the mexicans of Ganker
literally as well as figuratively
/misc/ will become usable again in a few months with election season starting, it's always those like middle two years where it fills with morons
why do you associate the rejection of body types as political?
could it be that you are pushing for the regular implementation of body types and routinely justify it in conversation elsewhere?
/misc/ lost.
Baldur's Gate was one of the really big RPGs back when it came out, getting a lot of attention with their focus on character/story/side-content and with being an official D&D product. It would make sense that in a world full of samey Activision and EA bullshit, people want a return to classic RPGs from the early 2000s.
I've not played BG3 to know if it's any good, but that's definitely where a lot of the attention comes from.
it got attention because it's a good game, and people like playing good games. not sure why thats so surprising.
>gaslighting
zoomer spotted
>implying this game won't be forgotten within a month or two
>implying that because a lot of people are playing on steam that means "normies" (aka console players) give a frick about it
>implying this is some mega success situation on par with Elden Ring or Witcher 3 when there aren't even any sales figures yet
Ganker being a bunch of clueless morons as usual
the game is already forgotten, almost all the threads are bait threads.
Nonsense, Baldur's Gate was absurdly popular.
I remember hearing normies talk about it in school when it came out, by normies I mean those jackasses I didn't even know played computer games.
They were niche games. You are blowing its supposed 'popularity' way out of all proportion.
They were some of the first games that broke out of the "pc games are just for nerds" perception, don't talk shit about times before you were born.
Discord raid and massive guerilla shilling

never forget Ganker staff hates Gankerpol/
it's probably shills; same shit happened with hogwarts legacy. you bet your ass the same thing will happen with starfield, too.
some people mention elden ring but i don't think any shills were bombing the catalogue, it was just the hordes of unwashed fromdrones too ignorant to post in their own threads. they leaked into other boards, too. bless their hearts
They just take one aspect of the game that becomes memetic and bloat it out of proportion. The don't play the game, they're just viralizing the already viral thing for attention to feel like they "belong".
Same thing happened when Dimitrescu was announced in RE8.
I don't get it either.
Looks like Divinity OS to me, and that game was alright.
Also, hasn't BG3 been out for YEARS now? Why is it gaining traction now? It wasn't a secret game. Did that much change since EA?
>Did that much change since EA?
EA was literally only 60% of act 1, didn't include act 2, didn't include act 3, didn't include the ability to play as origin characters, didn't have all the origin characters, didn't have all the compansions, didn't have all the spells, didn't have all the classes, didn't have all the jobs, didn't have all the equipment etc etc etc.
EA was basically a demo of the game.
>Ganker:
diatribe of reasons to explain why this is a giant shill campaign led by streamers and botters that are artifically increasing the games CCU and the game isn't actually being played that much nor did it actually sell that well and it sure isn't a good game
>the rest of the world
>>it's a good game therefore is being played a lot
someone give me that meme template of the person jumping through hoops at the top and the person just walking at the bottom.
morons here love the "red pill" aka an explanation in the most cynical way possible. They are unable to understand simple information without a conspiracy attached.
understandable when you realize Gankerpol/ hates fun
How to tell if tourists are shitting up the board.
It's never worth playing a game the second it comes out. I'll be picking this up in five years on sale after all of the bugs are patched and any further potential add-ons are already implemented.
R/patientgamers unite xdddd

Its a great way to tell samegay or some gay using replies like a rating system

they can't help outing themselves

shock advertising and probably some online shilling
>a lot of people are talking about something it must be artificial
com back in one month. Starfield will wipe the floor with this literal FOTM. BG3 is just the appetizer before the true GOTYAY
>it was no where near this popular when the first 2 were around.
Bullshit. BG1 revived the western rpg. Yes it was a dying genre at the time. Shitloads of clones were released after it. And BG 2 was one of the highest rated and most hyped games of its time.
i miss creepychan
Multiple factors
The game is genuinely good and well made.
D&D became a massive fad among normalgays, admittedly much to the detriment of D&D itself.
BG3, despite being genuinely good markets itself and within many aspects of the game caters to "progressive" types of sexuality.
These 3 things just made it explode in the west.
On Ganker its likely played and talk about because its genuinely good, and even though the sexuality plays to certain "progressive" aspects, people who aren't mentally ill can definitely find stuff they enjoy in that area of the game as well.
When was the last time a big budget party based rpg came out? The failure of Bioware left a big hole in the mainstream space for such games. Stuff like the Pathfinder games are mostly for genre lovers but the mainstream population wont really bother.
we have the stats, everyone is playing white male paladins with the strong jawed half elf face preset and romancing shadowheart. every "progressive" element isn't being engaged with by any normie to the point, again, it's got the homosexuals mad. still this stuff exists and is annoying. the entire first act is a muhrefugees canard because 75 tieflings apparently couldn't kill 30 goblins like the player. gay shit is everywhere and not in a "really needle arcade ganon and he'll be concerned that being a gay and ex enclave will negatively impact your perception of him and ruin your fully no homosexual partnership that may even be friendship" but in a furaffinity "gay bear only talks about sex because he's an act 2 character" way.
all the people responsible for the waste of fricking time of the homosexual stuff, the DEI-ESG compliance, and the sonichu tier mindflayer OC "plot" need to be drummed out of larian and the gaming industry. The coomer who made sure shadowhearts nipples are visible in every cutscenes camerawork when naked is probably one of /our guys/ at the studio. That guy needs more work and resources, but the rest of these people only worsened the product and jeopardized this success.
>we have the stats, everyone is playing white male paladins with the strong jawed half elf face preset and romancing shadowheart. every "progressive" element isn't being engaged with by any normie to the point, again, it's got the homosexuals mad.
I mean I do actually believe that, but I'm pretty sure they have not put out those stats since the early access because thats literally what was happening and it annoyed them.
>still this stuff exists and is annoying
I don't even mind that degen shit exists in the game as an option.
What bothers me is that is the main marketing point/tactic. Its what everyones writing and talking about. When the game is stellar in every other way, AND while me and others are demonized for liking some anime girls in bikinis from Japanese games.
>The coomer who made sure shadowhearts nipples are visible in every cutscenes camerawork when naked is probably one of /our guys/ at the studio.

>I feel like I'm crazy that suddenly everyone and their mother is talking about it and playing it when it was no where near this popular when the first 2 were around.
You're insane, I was hearing about Baldur's Gate in vidya mags ages before I played games on PC or talked about games with you fools on the internet. Then I got to the internet and everyone praised it like the second coming. So disappointing
Wow they sure got quiet all of a sudden!
bg2 came out in 2000. just think about it

die. smash your head with a boulder. bury yourself up to your neck in cement. bundle yourself up in Christmas lights and grab the nearest live wire. pull yourself inside out and disappear. blast yourself to pieces with dynamite. bull rush and shoulder check and oncoming train. take an air balloon 10,000ft up and pop it with a needle. tie rope to an anvil and pull it down onto yourself from the 3rd floor.
I wanted to forcibly plant a warrior child in her belly while strangling her at first. Then I got to the first scene, saw her wrinkly 100-year-old-Japanese-man body, and savescummed the hell out of there. Fixing Shart is my new holy mission.
I went full on with her. I didn't actually see her body, I think my game was glitched. No sex scenes from her. Beat the entire game.
god i want watch her piss on the table and then pass out
D&D has been the normalest of normalgay shit for years now.
RTWP chads rise up.
The TBlets have shown their hand with BG3. It is time.
what amuses me the most is that bg3 isn't even turn based either. you engage the enemy with one character and then the rest of the party can still sneak around in real time. dumb.
I was originally somewhat disappointed with the game but now I've made it to level 5 the combat is way less painful. I also skipped the goblin camp and went straight to the underdark. it turned out ok but probably don't do that.
somehow I'm at 50 hours and I'm still in act 1 as well.
cracky was cuter
If you havent noticed by Ganker threads. Zoomers pretend to be fans of game series that came out way before they were evem born.
Remember when milleniaals thought they were the shit for listening to gen x 80s rock bands? Its the same shit
