        You seem offended. Doesn't change the facts

        BG3 is terrible. People who defend it are morons.

        FFX is fine. I didn't like it, personally, when it came out. Thought the character designs were goofy (Rikku was a cutie though) and I got bored of the cutscenes and lack of gameplay after about 2 hours. And I missed Uematsu's music (though the Battle Theme is great). I might have teased kids for liking Tidus but it was all in good humor. But I thought the visuals and overall aesthetics were incredible. I don't seriously disrespect FFX fans. But I also stopped caring about the series almost entirely at this point. Outgrew it, basically.

        Skyrim I found kind of boring when I first played it on PS3, and got into Dark Souls instead. But playing Skyrim on PC I really had a lot of fun and while I have lots of criticism I appreciate many things about its design.

        I criticized Pillars of Eternity for some subtle shit because I'm a nerd. I think midwits overrate its systems so I like to argue about it. But I think the game itself is decent. I can't say it's the worst at anything. Tyranny I found disappointing after being sucked into the introduction, the writing got tedious and reddity. But Tyranny was never huge and popular to begin with.

        Witcher 3 I passed on, looked like a generic ARPG with lots of storytelling that didn't particularly interest me. Haven't ever shat on it.

        Divinity OS looked good to me and I bought it, have it in my backlog, just haven't gotten around to playing it.

        BG3 meanwhile is pure, concentrated, utterly tasteless garbage. It emphasizes the worst aspects of CRPGs which is multiple-choice dialog, skill checks and animated cutscenes while coupling it with the most brain-meltingly moronic writing I have ever seen in any videogame. There's no way I would subject myself to an RPG full of this shit it no matter how great the combat is.

        >FaCe ThE FaCtS
        Oh I don't think so. NTA, but how is your opinion on BG3 being terrible a fact? Frick outta here. I haven't played it, but have you done so, gaylord? You don't like the writing one bit, fine go on and have it your way. I find it overrated to a point, but definitely its no Failout76, Redfall or Scamfield.

          It really is pretty impressively bad, and something about it inspires a small cohort of very vocal and very dishonest anons to shill for it. If someone is like “yeah it’s pretty moronic and it has problems but I had a lot of fun playing it and I like it” then so be it, but there’s clearly people who got very emotionally invested in the game and cannot handle even nuanced criticism of the game without leaping into defensive shill mode. I’ve seen dozens and dozens of threads arguing about the game after it came out, and honestly I remember one (1) anon who was a fan of the game and presented intellectually honest and reasonable arguments in defense of the game, which I respected even if I disagreed with him.

        it's a really empty place only populated by things that were necessary for the metanarrative/books. It's the kind of shitty setting failed novelwriters make, only as a vehicle for their npc and their story, with no consideration given to it being an actual good place for players to explore world concepts

          All depends on who writes the story. In the CURRENT YEAR the strong slavery and racism themes make it unpalatable for the big players. We'd get some watered down modern meme version so I guess it's better the setting stays dead for the time being.

        its like if its not Jade Cocoon or something and more than 100 people have played it then its the worst game ever made. straying away from the topic a bit now but originally i sincerely meant that no amount of reasoning is going to be able to erode the clear and obvious behaviour of calling every newest popular game the worst game ever made

                That's a false dichotomy. Options can be given just when they're significant. Otherwise, Fallout set an entirely reasonable standard 27 years ago. It seems like the only real limitation is developers refusing to have unvoiced characters while also skimping on the VO budget.

                I mentioned Fallout specifically because options didn't always branch but (typically excluding interrogations) would still consistently have incremental effects down the line (beyond the hackneyed "this character likes you more"). While I personally find idle fluff boring regardless, the big problem is when two separate options provoke the exact same response or are even the same line to begin with. That expression isn't happening there.

                The main one was accelerating when the super mutants find the vault, but there was also the reputation system and every sidequest I remember provided you the option to ask for money or not for a given path. The main takeaway is that it was deceptively streamlined.

                Few subtle choices/consequences can create an impression that goes a long way, and makes the player believe there might be more than there actually is.

                I agree with the basic practice, but not the implication it should be to hide choices not mattering. The smoke and mirrors collapse on a second playthrough, souring memories of the first. For players that reload often or savescum, it won't work to begin with.

                It's that illusion that made my first playthrough of Fallout so immersive and memorable. Second playthrough wasn't.

                The game had a legendary reputation, so I went in with high expectations about choices and stats being meaningful. It's been a long time since, but I remember some things in the game reinforcing that belief, like the time limit and getting shot in the face as a result of a dialogue option. I remember sending water to the vault being a nervous choice.

                I remember it fondly, and it was nice to be able to believe in a world so much.

    Maybe it's just because I'm old enough to have played it when it was new but I feel about DAO exactly how people in this thread feel about BG3. Bad game only carried by its visuals and appeal to a certain fanbase looking for a cinematic experience, romance into sex scene, and "YOU CAN MAKE IMPORTANT CHOICES THAT'LL TOTALLY MATTER". Just pure drivel meant to attract normies, with no real attempt at making an actual good game or story.
    I remember when calling DAO and every fricking bioware "rpg" on these boards was still a popular opinion, but I guess I'm one of the last old heads considering how universal the praise for DAO seems to be on this site these days.
    That said, BG3 is worse.

        Long ago when the game came out you did see people do that. But that was a long time ago when Obisidian had good will to burn.

    Frankly I've stopped coming here to seek legitimate discussion, though once in a blue moon there's a good thread. Seems like there's a dedicated handful of autists who just want to derail every thread and have all the time in the world to try. This place has become almost on par with /vp/ with how bad it's become.

    Now I just lurk, looking out for new, interesting, (and usually old) RPGs.

    Dark Sun is the grandfather of all cRPGs. It influenced Fallout and BG1.

      Every opinion you've ever had came from me and my peers. Grow a spine.
