Why would you lie to me? There are 50 baldur's gate 3 threads in Ganker AT ALL TIMES and all of them are just inciting flamewar saying "chuds lost" "this mind broke Ganker" etc etc
Hogwarts legacy had at best 2/3 threads at once and they were about the game or about trannies or about Poppy.
Hogwarts legacy won.
You will never be a real woman.
How does it feel vehemently defend the most soulless modern AAA shit with an open world, crafting, souls combat, Black folk and trannies because Ganker told you that buying it would save the white race?
Oh you right. In Hogwarts you cast two spells, roll to the side and then wait for your cooldowns to come up again.

But that's also wrong. In Hogwarts you use one or two spells to ohko everything that isn't a troll. Then for trolls you use spells, roll, then do normal attack to speed up cooldowns of your spells. Souls combat and Hogwarts Legacy combat have no similarities at all. Souls is all about building up momentum to set up ripostes and other such executions. Hogwarts Legacy is all about casting the right spell at the right enemy.
> Shills talk all day about BG3 sales, amount of players and shill it non stop > Someone brings up a game that sold better >> NOOO WHY DO YOU FOCUS ON THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!
You guys truly have to be underage, you can't be this stupid and lack so much self awareness.
He's right though. How does the succes from another game devalue BG3's popularity?

If your argument as to why Baldur's gate 3 is good is that it's popular and constantly talk about how many players it has then you shouldn't be mad when you're held accountable and someone points out other games sold better.
Let alone that Hogwarts Legacy was pretty infamous and STILL managed to sell more AND have more players.
Why can't BG3 shills just take the Ls? Are you guys that insecure?

I don't know, maybe they were being ironic? I know bongs think about harry potter once every like 5 minutes because it's such a cultural icon to them but how many of those people actually post here?
Why do gays try to rewrite history so much this board was filled with Hogwarts shills and trannies acting like buying the game was essentially a confession to murder
What the frick is this revisionism. Hogwarts had constant threads and ARCS of threads ending with some piracy morality angle when Empress schizo'd out over it mostly because of the troony controversy.
I always thought it was moronic new-shilling like with that Conquistador vs Aztec game where they're working moronic marks like you into free shilling it. The game is generic ubislop but people buy it to own trannies when there's an actual troony in it
Why the frick are you lying, I was here Black person shitposting in those very threads. Hogwarts was flood the catalogue. It's not the games fault that fricking a bear was more exciting than learning the hot teacher dies
Do you morons actually Believe BG3 has sold anywhere near the amount Hogwarts Legacy has? They're probably close in Steam sales, but Hogwarts Legacy is a normie-core game that had the vast majority of sales in consoles. BG3 will not sell anywhere near as much on consoles because console players simply aren't used to playing the same type of games as PC fats. I'm thinking BG3 will sell around 4 million by the end of the year at most. Maybe 6 million if the shill campaigns continue. It won't be near the 15 million Hogwarts had back in may. Hell, it's probably around 18 million in sales by now.
>Ganker is so delusional and terminally online that they think actual normies are playing a CRPG with little hype around it, at launch >they actually think the bear sex meme was some wide-reaching thing that went beyond enthusiast forums and gaming articles
is correct. the PC market is a bunch of neckbeards who are starved for big RPGs like this, it's not that crazy that it would get a high playercount in this day and age. that doesn't make it some huge mainstream success and it sure as frick doesn't mean its total sales are gonna be anywhere near Hogwarts Legacy or Starfield.
>800k concurrent players >every streamer and their mother playing it >"not a mainstream success"
What this actually demonstrates is that there's still a gigantic, untapped market for more complicated games that AAA devs have been neglecting because they think they'll get less sales. It's a full game with no cash shop, isn't super buggy, doesn't rely on shitty dlss or other upscale homosexualry to run, looks fine on high settings, and doesn't have marvel tier one-liners every 2 seconds. Maybe if the bar was a little higher this game would be mediocre, but it stands well above the rest of the industry right now.

>despite all the bad press, anti shilling, 0 threads in Ganker, transphobic accusations in reddit and the game being COMPLETLY BANNED from Reset era
Black person what? Hogwarts was being labeled as the troony killer on this board and was going on overdrive asking people to support the troony suicide machine, eceleb culture war YouTuber right-wing homosexuals were labeling it as a win due to all the trannoids and libshits screaming and crying, Elon Musk JUST took over Twitter at the time and troony hate was ramping up a storm as people were laughing at trannies demanding people to not play the game, trannies were harassing vtubers and making one of them cry causing a massive avalanche of autismal simps, and everybody on the internet was laughing at troons making cringe shit like "Which streamer is streaming Hogwarts."
Dude, EVERYBODY was talking about Hogfarts. The game lucked out just like BG3 and the bear sex.
Both settings would allow for weirdo sex and it be perfectly in tone as well as both fanbases are famously sexually perverse.
Only one of them actually let you.
Its a sex game that masquerades as a normal game. People are only buying it for the fetish shit, but its not outwardly an H-Game that makes them embarrassed to play.
Bro if this was a sex game it would get 2/5 on esl59zone.
There are like two scenes per romance route, you can only kinda frick around in ACT one before having to lock it it and outside of companions, there are only a couple of npcs you can try and bang.
It's basically the same as a DA/ME except you get to see naked models and they don't fade to black as fast.
It's a sex game
And if it isnt, it's still a bad game
And if it wasn't, its still full of lefty degeneracy
And if it wasn't, the sales figures are all lies
And if they're not, its still fake and inflated by ESG grifters
And if It's not, it's still a ploy by Blackrock to destabilize our precious western society
>talking out of his ass
Based moron. Shadowheart doesn't let you frick her until the end of the game, and it's a cut to black scene. Like all the rest. Triple moron.
>1 game releases a year >it's mediocre, not even a good game 5 years ago >gaming industry says it's the best game that has ever been made >what's the problem, it has like, a pause function, that's novel!
Yes, it is the reality. Ps3/x360 era games are unachievable standard now, because it is hard to optimize them for hours per player played and suck more than [s]60[/s] 70$. Any company that gets remotely big starts trading it's stock publicly and is fully dependant on investors
Maybe that's how they do it, they bribe no-name twitch streamers into shelling their shit at some mistaken sense of opportunity to bring viewers to their channels
I wonder if euros literally pay cohh carnage to stream their shitty RPGs and face scan him into their games
if gaming journalism (always a beacon of incorruptibility) sets their sights on you during this gaming shortage you're assured a certain amount of preorder sales, look at hogfarts, elden shart and now Paul Blart 3

Not really, see "fake hype" poses as well informed people celebrating something they know is good. In reality that's marketing. Marketing is selling something to you without you seeing if it's good or not.
So by populating forums such as Ganker with "fake marketing" posing as "adoring fans" who up and disappear after a month or two really drives home how there were never any fans in the first place

god you morons are so pathetic
I fricking wish it did.
BG3 will however do nothing to it in the long run and we'll still have the Ubisofts, EAs and Activisions putting out shitty action games with microtransactions and battle passes until the end of time.
I'm 12h into the game and my only companions are Gale and Shadowchud.
Gale said he wanted to show me magic so I said "Oh cool" and then he made it gay as frick so I killed him.
Shadowchud is a completely histrionic c**t and she's ugly as sin.
Gay vampire? Dead immediately, didn't even let him speak.
Lanky She-Hulk? Kept talking down to me, she's still stuck in a cage. Say please next time, moron. (c**t is not a personality)
I hired an Orc Paladin from Withers and my homie wears shiny red lipstick and eyeliner, but at least he doesn't try to suck my dick every time I talk to him.
This game is fricked and moronic.
I can't have a single personal interaction with any companion without it turning sexual. I just wanted to see Gale's cool magic tricks, but my only options in this super deep RPG are Sex or No sex.
I cannot get to know these characters without ending up with my dick in someone's ass.
Queergays are a fricking blight, everything has to be sex to them.
I also never feel like I can express myself, every time there's something political I'm forced to either say the leftist line or say nothing. What if I agree with the Druids kicking the Thieflings out? I have to go about it in some convoluted manner with no payoff dialogue. I wanted the head druid back in the grove and the thieflings out, I couldn't do that and have the game respond to it. inb4 muh pol boogeyman, imagine the grove was Wakanda and the thieflings were white new yorkers taking advantage of their hospitality to squat with no intention of ever leaving.
So glad I didn't pay for this, I would've been so mad.
>Gay vampire? Dead immediately
The way you morons correlate effeminate with gay is cringeworthy. The effeminate dandy vampire is a trope as old as fricking time.
>basement-dwelling trannies in their leftard echo chambers on reddit and twitter try to boycott Hogwarts Legacy because of muh transphobia, but their pathetic campaign fails spectacularly as normalgays buy the game in droves >basement-dwelling chudcels in their rightard echo chamber on Ganker try to boycott Baldur's Gate 3 because of muh bear sex, but their pathetic campaign fails spectacularly as normalgays buy the game in droves
Wingcuck sisters... why are these dirty sex-having normies ignoring us and our online screeching?
>Company well known for putting out good CRPGs over the years puts out a CRPG >It's good and attached to a legacy IP it does justice too >Hundreds of thousands of people play it and love >Rightoids still somehow thinking they caused the TORtanic seethe that the game is going to "go woke, go broke" >It doesn't and is smashing records >Rightoids seethe and declare gaming is dying instead of admitting they're moronic
Like clockwork
You frickers are just so desperate for (you)s that you make thinly veiled bait posts in order to attract the cesspools of redditors, poltards, and homosexuals. Everyone in this thread operates like a lemming. Read a book you morons.
Hogwarts was a perfect example of just how powerless leftoids actually are, and just how more numerous we are. I bought it purely out of spite and because I hate trannies. I didn't even play it. 🙂 BG3 is the opposite, they stole a lot of people's money with the early access bait and switch because the game wasn't originally pozzed, so they benefited from positive reviews and exposure in EA. Now for the launch they shoved in all the revolting shit, but it's too late for it to be turned into a negative now. It was their literal plan, a cunning ploy so to speak.
This guy thinks he matters.
What do you live for anon?, share with us your clearly held wisdom and taste, surely you arent so pathetic to just be a piece of shit detracting [popular thing] like some kind of sheep? Surely you haven't spend days of your life doing this over and over again
Not that anon but I wanna chime in to say in this particular scenario multitasking is possible though. Baldur's Gate combat is turnbased, he can easily pop in here to shitpost while an enemy is taking their turn.

Exacltly. Like claiming anyone with a positive opinion about a game that released is a shill, the more positive opinions the larger the shill operation.
It's that easy
Baldur's Gate 2 was one of the most shilled games on this board and part of Gankercore
Now 20 years later the next installment comes and it's actually good, yet this board is crying
I can't understand at all
eh. just tell 'em they got their opinions from thiel or something. They like to feel unique so calling them boring does more damage than calling them evil. Which is something libtards don't understand.
>Let's heckin do it guys, get everyone you know to buy the game and log in so we can make number bigger!
How do people get wrapped up in caring about shit like this?
>Where the real world changes into simple images, the simple images become real beings and effective motivations of hypnotic behavior. The spectacle, as a tendency to make one see the world by means of various specialized mediations (it can no longer be grasped directly), naturally finds vision to be the privileged human sense which the sense of touch was for other epochs; the most abstract, the most mystifiable sense corresponds to the generalized abstraction of present-day society. But the spectacle is not identifiable with mere gazing, even combined with hearing. It is that which escapes the activity of men, that which escapes reconsideration and correction by their work. It is the opposite of dialogue. Wherever there is independent representation, the spectacle reconstitutes itself.
>The spectacle inherits all the weaknesses of the Western philosophical project which undertook to comprehend activity in terms of the categories of seeing; furthermore, it is based on the incessant spread of the precise technical rationality which grew out of this thought. The spectacle does not realize philosophy, it philosophizes reality. The concrete life of everyone has been degraded into a speculative universe.
watching people talk about stupid isometric games like diablo and bg astounds me, whether you love or hate it. its the same feeling as watching people argue about those shitty gamss that came in cereal boxes.

You might be right but I'm a consoletard and am patiently waiting for the BG3 PS5 port. There may be others.

Why can't I say no to Halsin when he wants to join? I don't want this dude in my camp.
he's the forum fujo's favorite character besides the gay vampire
ever wonder why they thought it prudent to have halsin fricking the gay vampire in the promo material? They were signaling to the forum fujos
kill him then, duh
should have sided with drow mommy
i just killed him when he broke down his cage and attacked when I threw a rock at him. Dumb b***h.
It's very easy to get him to frick off, you just have to side with the drow.
I like the game. I've made a sorceror, warlock, and paladin so far. I like them all.
have a nice day, trannoid
If you must know, the paladin is a dragonborn, the sorceror is a drow, and the warlock is a half elf.

>Game has zero microtransactions
>No Battlepass
>Is a complete package
What's the problem? I wish more games were like this again.
>1 game releases a year
>it's mediocre, not even a good game 5 years ago
>gaming industry says it's the best game that has ever been made
>what's the problem, it has like, a pause function, that's novel!
Yes, it is the reality. Ps3/x360 era games are unachievable standard now, because it is hard to optimize them for hours per player played and suck more than [s]60[/s] 70$. Any company that gets remotely big starts trading it's stock publicly and is fully dependant on investors
bruh
not a microtransaction so hes still correct
Maybe that's how they do it, they bribe no-name twitch streamers into shelling their shit at some mistaken sense of opportunity to bring viewers to their channels
I wonder if euros literally pay cohh carnage to stream their shitty RPGs and face scan him into their games
That's exactly what they do yes, but it isn't always successful either.
A game has to be genuinely good to earn legs and long-time sales.
They're not after the long term sales
if gaming journalism (always a beacon of incorruptibility) sets their sights on you during this gaming shortage you're assured a certain amount of preorder sales, look at hogfarts, elden shart and now Paul Blart 3
All will not even be discussed after a few months, but each are sold as "the best game ever made"
>All will not even be discussed after a few months
Like the majority of games since always?
Not really, see "fake hype" poses as well informed people celebrating something they know is good. In reality that's marketing. Marketing is selling something to you without you seeing if it's good or not.
So by populating forums such as Ganker with "fake marketing" posing as "adoring fans" who up and disappear after a month or two really drives home how there were never any fans in the first place
>look at hogfarts, elden shart and now Paul Blart 3
god you morons are so pathetic
so it didnt set a record then
Playing BG3.
I fricking wish it did.
BG3 will however do nothing to it in the long run and we'll still have the Ubisofts, EAs and Activisions putting out shitty action games with microtransactions and battle passes until the end of time.
Hogwarts is /our/ game. It's certified Ganker and is trad and wholesome. BG3 is leftoid pornographic garbage.
>both games have troony VA
>one game has troony character
>the other has drag queen character
Leftoids and rightoids are really sam, aren't they
I'm 12h into the game and my only companions are Gale and Shadowchud.
Gale said he wanted to show me magic so I said "Oh cool" and then he made it gay as frick so I killed him.
Shadowchud is a completely histrionic c**t and she's ugly as sin.
Gay vampire? Dead immediately, didn't even let him speak.
Lanky She-Hulk? Kept talking down to me, she's still stuck in a cage. Say please next time, moron. (c**t is not a personality)
I hired an Orc Paladin from Withers and my homie wears shiny red lipstick and eyeliner, but at least he doesn't try to suck my dick every time I talk to him.
This game is fricked and moronic.
I can't have a single personal interaction with any companion without it turning sexual. I just wanted to see Gale's cool magic tricks, but my only options in this super deep RPG are Sex or No sex.
I cannot get to know these characters without ending up with my dick in someone's ass.
Queergays are a fricking blight, everything has to be sex to them.
I also never feel like I can express myself, every time there's something political I'm forced to either say the leftist line or say nothing. What if I agree with the Druids kicking the Thieflings out? I have to go about it in some convoluted manner with no payoff dialogue. I wanted the head druid back in the grove and the thieflings out, I couldn't do that and have the game respond to it. inb4 muh pol boogeyman, imagine the grove was Wakanda and the thieflings were white new yorkers taking advantage of their hospitality to squat with no intention of ever leaving.
So glad I didn't pay for this, I would've been so mad.
>I want back the guy who defends the thiefling but i want to kick the thieflings out
Stop being a pussy and commit. I murdered them all.
And now you know why every game critic is giving this trash a high score.
>he admits to loading 150 gigs of gay porn on his hard drive
lol. lmao
Rent free in your head
>Gay vampire? Dead immediately
The way you morons correlate effeminate with gay is cringeworthy. The effeminate dandy vampire is a trope as old as fricking time.
It's funny because Astarion has banged hundreds of women and brought them to Cazador afterwards.
he's bisexual in canon, act 3 confirms this.
He literally tried to frick me, that goes beyond effeminate. I gave him to the monster hunter, he can suck on that instead
>He literally tried to frick me
All the NPCs are player-sexual, doesn't make the vampire gay.
In fact BG3 has no gay characters at all, really. They're all straight guys who are willing to frick the player because they have to.
Trust me, not even gays want the kind of gay representation that BG3 has.
The vampire is 100% homosexual but that’s always been a historical metaphor so it’s okay
You might not like this but this is the ideal male/female body.
Get with the times old xe, that's body type B.

>baldurs gate
>legacy IP
Lol???
Yeah, Baldur's Gate, Dungeons and Dragons, guess you're just living under a rock?
You frickers are just so desperate for (you)s that you make thinly veiled bait posts in order to attract the cesspools of redditors, poltards, and homosexuals. Everyone in this thread operates like a lemming. Read a book you morons.
Hogwarts was a perfect example of just how powerless leftoids actually are, and just how more numerous we are. I bought it purely out of spite and because I hate trannies. I didn't even play it. 🙂 BG3 is the opposite, they stole a lot of people's money with the early access bait and switch because the game wasn't originally pozzed, so they benefited from positive reviews and exposure in EA. Now for the launch they shoved in all the revolting shit, but it's too late for it to be turned into a negative now. It was their literal plan, a cunning ploy so to speak.
You people need serious help.
Reminder that game journos shill state homosexuality
Don't let troony shills fool you
baldursissies... eldenchads won...
I enjoy both games though. So I won.
>I enjoy all the slop though. So I won.
Anon I...
I'm enjoying video games while you get angry they exist. Yes, I won.
>you're mad I'm eating shit!
Anon I...
This guy thinks he matters.
What do you live for anon?, share with us your clearly held wisdom and taste, surely you arent so pathetic to just be a piece of shit detracting [popular thing] like some kind of sheep? Surely you haven't spend days of your life doing this over and over again
what videogames do you like anon
>I'm enjoying video games
>posting here about how he's enjoying videogames
who are you trying to fool Black person
Not that anon but I wanna chime in to say in this particular scenario multitasking is possible though. Baldur's Gate combat is turnbased, he can easily pop in here to shitpost while an enemy is taking their turn.
You and I know both know the only people still posting in this thread are most definitely NOT playing videogames
I don't know why shills always have to claim they're big fans when they actually haven't even touched the game
>You and I know both know the only people still posting in this thread are most definitely NOT playing videogames
But I am though. I'm fishing in one monitor while shitposting here between bites.
>fishing
Yes. I never said I was playing Baldur's Gate 3. I even said I wasn't that anon. I just provided an explanation for how its possible to play videogames and post on Ganker at the same time.
Shills shills shills shills
Have you played a video game lately that someone didnt tell you was good? Or do you need all your opinions given to you first?
I'm literally playing right now. I have a gnome bard named Tofiz Fiddlebonk.
wow you're like one of the first people to post a screenshot of this game that wasn't from a shitty cutscene
congratulations
>I don't know why shills always have to claim they're big fans when they actually haven't even touched the game
They want attention and the feeling of belonging to a community.
>I don't know why shills always have to claim they're big fans
Astroturfing 101, duh.
Exacltly. Like claiming anyone with a positive opinion about a game that released is a shill, the more positive opinions the larger the shill operation.
It's that easy
you don't have at least a second monitor? do you even play games or just shitpost
Not something to brag about
The west has fallen.
I'm still waiting for customizable hirelings.
>once in a lifetime RPG
>Rockstar level nonsense
Why does every hate repeat these lines?
It's like they had a meeting or something.
Baldur's Gate 2 was one of the most shilled games on this board and part of Gankercore
Now 20 years later the next installment comes and it's actually good, yet this board is crying
I can't understand at all
Because this place osnt about video games anymore, its /misc/ for nerds who used to play them
There really should be a minimum and maximum age to post on Ganker.
eh. just tell 'em they got their opinions from thiel or something. They like to feel unique so calling them boring does more damage than calling them evil. Which is something libtards don't understand.
>Let's heckin do it guys, get everyone you know to buy the game and log in so we can make number bigger!
How do people get wrapped up in caring about shit like this?
See?
Those sales figures and player counts were fake guys, fake news
>Where the real world changes into simple images, the simple images become real beings and effective motivations of hypnotic behavior. The spectacle, as a tendency to make one see the world by means of various specialized mediations (it can no longer be grasped directly), naturally finds vision to be the privileged human sense which the sense of touch was for other epochs; the most abstract, the most mystifiable sense corresponds to the generalized abstraction of present-day society. But the spectacle is not identifiable with mere gazing, even combined with hearing. It is that which escapes the activity of men, that which escapes reconsideration and correction by their work. It is the opposite of dialogue. Wherever there is independent representation, the spectacle reconstitutes itself.
>The spectacle inherits all the weaknesses of the Western philosophical project which undertook to comprehend activity in terms of the categories of seeing; furthermore, it is based on the incessant spread of the precise technical rationality which grew out of this thought. The spectacle does not realize philosophy, it philosophizes reality. The concrete life of everyone has been degraded into a speculative universe.
watching people talk about stupid isometric games like diablo and bg astounds me, whether you love or hate it. its the same feeling as watching people argue about those shitty gamss that came in cereal boxes.
i want to scream in all of your ears ITS A FRICKING SHITTY ISOMETRIC PIECE OF SHIT WHO FRICKING CARES
only europeans could like this shit
>tfw I've liked most of the major releases this year
>tfw enjoying bg3 and looking forward to starfield next month
2023 has been pretty good
Needs more quicktime events, shouting and explosions for the small chimp-like attention span of your average burger, I agree
v losing it's mind over an actually relatively hardcore rpg being a big success. Never stop being contrarian
Can't remember, it's been a long while.
what died? lmao
oh no there's a shitty hentai game it's the end of everything
schizo
>couldn't even beat the harry potter that everyone boycotted
lmaoooooooooooooo
troony morons circlejerking with each other in their online hugboxes like reddit is not "everyone"
Thankfully this place would never be a circlejerking hugbox, thats why we make sure to identify and banish any poster that goes against our groupthink as underrage, from reddit, tumblr etc. Because we're correct, unlike them. Isn't that right Gankerros?
Playing Baldur's Gate 3 obviously.
It feels cozy to know nothing about a giant media release and not care one way or the other.
>two 800k peak games released this year
>it is le bad, industry died b-because!!!
/misc/ lost, Ganker keeps winning.
it begins
oh god
thankfully these threads only have like a weeks worth of shitposting left before they're dead so I wont see the majority of that
Didn't you say that a week ago, shazam xis?
This board is so hysterical like women
Honkies drink alcohol which contains estrogen
I was in the 2000s
A CRPG is in contention for GOTY against mainstay AAA juggernauts. Seems like the industry is healing, actually.
By playing this game you're basically saying "I want game developers to be overworked trying to reach unrealistic expectations", this is NOT okay.
>New concurrent playercount record after the 2nd weekend
Remember when Ganker said it wouldnt even hit 500k and it would have massive playerbase dropoff after 1 month? I wonder if someone used a res scroll on farquaad so he could kill himself a second time
I'll gift free copies of this game just to make you guys seethe
WTF I didn't know Hogwarts was that successful. No wonder the trannoids were seething.
