>NPC without an opinion makes his lack of opinions into an opinion in and of itself and begins to huff his own farts like he's an enlightened centrist
Tale as old as time.
Swen has no "nostalgia" for medieval Europe. He never experienced it.
Nostalgia is different from appreciating or idolizing the past.
Also. Wearing armour doesn't equate to some kind of fetish thing.
And medieval Europe wasn't brutal for people of colour. Outside of traders, that mostly thrived, there weren't people of colour in medieval Europe outside of rare examples.
Unless. This guy is hyper focusing on the late medieval period specifically and the crusades against the middle east. But Swen's armour isn't even of that period.
It's so crazy that they go from I CANT BE GAY to genocide against blacks due to his armor meme to being a literal nazi. It's like no whites were killed in medieval wars and only black people died, which obviously could not be further from the truth
Imagine being that mentally ill.
>D&D (most troony possible) genre game is anti troony
Just accept that the game you like is the wokest yet. You love them game despite it.
Why seethe and fight the inevitable?
Not a lot of games have female body, male voice 2, penis 3; options. Its a troony game. simple as (B-but its option..) Yea, because its a troony game that gives you troony options. Unlike a chad game like every other RPG where you can play as MAN or WOMAN(no penis).

>BG3 is loved
No it's not. Every single thread here is bait
You both missed my point: BG3 is loved in the same way that porn is loved by coomers or heroin is loved by addicts. It's base, animalistic manipulation. The developers are offering virtual breasts and pussy and softcore-tier porn scenes in exchange for peoples willingness to slog through C-tier gameplay.
For 80% of the people who purchased it, gameplay, character growth, metagaming, story progression meant nothing. Pretending that your character could group sex Shartnmart, frick frogb***h or suck off Halsin was why the purchased the game. Bioware figured this out over a decade ago with Mass Effect: let the player self-insert and frick a 2D companion, and your game will sell millions of copies. Safe and effective! Writing and programminig games is difficult and risky, mocapping drow fricking is easy and SELLS baby!
If BG3 had been ESG'd with ugly-frick characters as hard as other games, and if it had been slapped with an AO rating (which it should have been) and removed from Steam, and there wasn't a MASSIVE centi-million dollar effort to market it as the ultimate coom game, it would have flopped hard. I know this, you know this, and troons are either a) in denial about this fact or b) so porn-addled and deranged from their hormone therapy that they muster the willpower to admit this to themselves.

This is a denail post. Note that the entire premise of my post is disregarded and dismissed as a fantasy. Yet anyone with a non-estrogen and AIDS infested brain could easily provide counterpoints to the core ideas of my argument:
1) players who took a chance on BG III were largely incentivized by the romance options
2) Sex sells, even in video games, and the success of Mass Effect and Dragon Age attest to this fact. The sex-forward formula is tried and true, and a great way to sell the game to a broad audience.
3) the game had a multi-year, massive marketing campaign which forwarded sexual diversity and openness
4) The game has characters which are generally better looking than other western games which came out around the same time, which is odd considering that there has been a nearly one-decade effort in western studios to make characters look """realistic""" at the expense of attractiveness.
5) The game has explicit scenes of sex and sexuality, yet was never given an AO rating, while games with significantly less sexually explicit contnet (Thrill Kill, Hatred, Manhunt 5) HAVE been given AO ratings and were summarily removed from Steam.
6) You are a walking ball of self-contradictions and deinal. A walking abortion, of sorts: a troon.

The scene between Minthara and your PC is as graphic as any softcore pornography you can see on late-night HBO. It's drawn out and explicit enough that it could reaslistically be hit with an NC-17 rating in the USA.
Why are you lying? Would you say that a 90 second sex scene which overtly shows everything but full-on close-up genital penetration is *not* graphic?

And act 3 that retcons a prior plot point from the setting in a very hamfisted "see familiar thing" ploy, a villain who puts bombs in teddybears but also orchestrate goblin armies to paint himself as a good guy(while leaving evidence everywhere in a setting with magical communication).or the thrilling climax, that literally no one mentions unlike Kotor or bg1 and 2 etc

You have proven my theory correct by literally stating it's "only one person".
ITT: Schrodinger's Woke >successful = "lol it's was never woke because [insert very niche thing that is completely player dependent and ignores all the gays and trannies]"
This, when you point out that Undertale is one of the most successful games ever and one of the reasons is because of its inclusive cast, the naysayers use that exact language from your successful quote
>"Well actually it's super based because you can kill them lol!!!"
I think the number of people who play Undertale specifically for the lesbian couple is pretty minimal. I feel like most people probably played it for the fact that it's a pretty fun, quirky little thing you can clear in a couple of hours. Then again, the presence or absence of lesbians in a game has never really moved the needle one way or another for me, so maybe I'm just projecting my feelings on the larger community of players.
>one of the reasons is because of its inclusive cast
everyone universally agrees alphy's date is the worst part of the game,
Undertale is crazely popular because of Sans and Papyrus and Sans' fight is a modern classic,
you still have new megalovanias made, AUtism is usually about cosmetic skins of Sans and it wouldn't be that far of stretch to say 70% of UT content is about Sans
I love how the replies to this post prove the point it and

There reason it was nowhere near elden ring sales is because BG3 barely sold on consoles, while ER sold almost equally on PC and console. ER sold around 20 million, so a ~10 mil figure for BG3 sounds reasonable.

Thanks, using this next rage cycle. Enjoy your racemixing propaganda.
It says steam numbers only. A lot of people had bought it on GOG or PS5 too. I also double-dipped on PC and PS5 because my brother wanted to play it coop.
you are behind on the news, we are at 15 millions sales like Swen said, more specifically he said double what DOS2 sold.
About the 10 millions quote that you use, you strangely forgot that he said WAY OVER 10 millions and not just 10 millions you disingenuous subhuman.
you 6.8 million number is literally coming out of your ass as well.
shut up chink bugman troony shill. everyone sane knows those numbers are made up because tencent can just run hundreds of thousands of bots to generate engagement stats
/misc/ has fallen back to 2019 era traffic except now it's a wasteland of schizos outside of huge events
/vg/ pretty regularly beats it in activity and it's not much faster than Ganker much of the time
It's an alright game but nothing amazing. Writing and companions are very hit or miss, villains are shit, combat is kinda trash although it's probably more likely 5E being shit than Larian. I still play BG1 and 2 these days but I don't see myself playing this a lot especially after Larian said there would be no continuation. The most overhyped game ever
I'm not happy that BG3 got gassed up like this, but christ, SOMETHING needed to beat Nintendo's overpriced BotW expansion pack. Especially after the embarrassing and cringy LE HOW DID GAME AM POSSIBLE puff pieces they blatantly paid for.
i firmly believe that anyone who spends time discussing the hype, buzz, reviews, awards, popularity of a game on Ganker is a dim-witted person with nothing to contribute
Rightoids got destroyed by this game so hard they are 50/50 on calling the game woke or not woke and both of those options will contradict their entire argument about esg wokism etc
BotW and ER will still be played decades from now. BG3? Not so much. Only know 2 people that got it. Compared to the 10+ that bought the other 2. BlackRock marketing for BG3 will only take you so far.
I’ve met exactly zero people on real life that have played BG3, let alone even care to try it. Every other major GotY contender out there has had real people actually playing it or at least talking about playing it. Even Genshit Impacted, for as obviously astroturfed as it is, has people in reality playing it. Who the hell is actually playing BG3?
Not even friend, I’m talking about people I meet at work, people I see at airports, people I hear my younger family members talk about. I’ve not met a single person who has played or talked about BG3 outside of me asking one person about the game back when the shilling as at its peak.
Dragon Age inquisition also won GotY. Woke games get extra points. In a couple years I guess BG3 will also be just as well lauded as DAI is now, meaning it will be mostly forgotten. Maybe once the honeymoon's over, people realize that the game they're playing is kind of rushed and unfinished and buggy.
This is oversimplifying things. Zelda isn’t woke, Elden Ring isn’t woke, Sekiro isn’t woke, etc. The reality is that its a mix of marketing, sales, metacritic score, and perception by viewers of what the committee thinks they want to see. BG3 was riding high on the hype wave and was selling way above expectations. On top of that, they knew the backlash that would come if they selected TotK despite that game’s metacritic reception and sales being phenomenal.
Awards don't mean anything. Time is the only judge.
BOTW has stood the test of time, but not so much for the game itself, but more for what it represented (potential for the future and so on). When TOTK was released, expectations kind of collapsed. Time is not being kind to TOTK (in fact, it's being very cruel to it) and the curiosity is that BOTW will be taken with it.
Elden Ring is holding up well, I think, but also because of expectations. The DLC will be the factor that determines whether or not the time will be favorable to Elden Ring. I'm not a fan of the game, but I think ER will stand the test of time.
Baldur's Gate 3? I have no idea, I've never played it, and it seems to me to have a "liberal" humor that I particularly can't stand, because I hate homosexualry. So I have nothing to say about this game.
I can more or less agree with this. I HATED BotW, but it had potential in its foundation. Potential that TotK did absolutely nothing with and squandered six years later, which is why everyone wants to forget it exists.
I think ER will do just fine, as will BG3, which came out of nowhere to come out on top despite having nowhere near the same level of diehard fans like From or Nintendo.
It's cute watching Elden Ring, Zelda and Dungeon and Dragon virgins argue over which over their games is most relevant. Meanwhile, RDR2 continues to destroy them all in sells, attention and recognition. It's 6 years old but yearly it outsales all 3 still.
gamergate was just disenfranchised leftists mad at the establishment for a bit. They were temporarily embarrassed before being reshuffled by an imminent election cycle.

because the gameplay is shit, losers spamming this "game" are just coomers, femcels and redditors, aka the filth of the internet >average threads about BG3 on Ganker + awards
So... Elden Ring won more GOTY awards but not the ones that the author of this article deemed to be the "major" ones, in their own, personal opinion - got it.
I will never play this game because it has the stink of Bioware, Dragon Age like homosexualry. Every poster that recommends it reminds me of the homosexuals that play Dragon Age games.
Not very progressive of you to use the n-word sister...
It's very telling that a single post describing a lack of interest in the game is apparently "shitty behavior". You are weirdly emotional about this game, probably a side effect of your hormone treatments.
He's OP trying to get people to bump his stupid threads. It's the exact same picture posted over and over in the OP and then he spends the entire thread trying a hundred different bait tactics to try and get a flamewar going
Odds are, knowing how batshit insane OP is, you're OP replying to yourself
Welcome to the bg3 thread.... here we have schizos, shills and /misc/ all shit flinging at each other... say what you will but these threads are endlessly fun.
Can't wait to play throught he Baldur's Gate Trilogy again (BG I, II and ToB). What character class should I play next? Dubs decides.
Gonna run Ajantis (based paladin, takes no shit from anyone), Shar Teel (prolly dual to thief for GM in daggers, DEFINITELY gonna frick her since I have the NPC project), Xan to keep my good/evil characters from murdering each other, Tiax cuz I want a cleric that hasn't fricked every human on the surface, and... Kaigan maybe? Dunno about the fifth character.
I love that class, but I always am tempted to dual it into fighter. Losing the martial HP/con boost sucks, but getting GM in a weapon AND stealthing while observed is just to tempting to me. Shadow Twin is fricking amazing, but you get almost as much potency w/Vhalor's Helm on a ShadowDancer => Fighter.
Never beaten the series with a pure SD though, I'll consider it.
they falsely believed modelling the characters after their target audience would boost sales, proving that visual representation doesn't actually matter
I have no knowledge of dnd, why is 5e bad? I preferred DoS2 combat (after fixing the godawful armour system) but BG3 combat wasnt bad and was in fact very fun
5e is very simple and excessively limited meaningful player choice and build diversity by "streamlining" class progression. Additionally, WotC felt that DnD would be most broadly marketable by imbuing DnD -- a roleplaying game -- with a system of balance and "fair play" (as well as iterative progression) typically used in video games/MMOs. This strategy is nearly identical to the one used by WotC for 4e, but was better marketed, and so caught on while 4e didn't.
Typically, people who dislike 5e would say that it's a bad edition because:
Multiclassing has nearly been abolished outside of a handful of very game-y couplings that are exlusively intended to do a very specific thing.
Characters (PCs) are extremely safe and the possibility of a character doing something risky and facing death is extremely unlikely.
Classes don't have sufficient diversity within their progression to make different characters of the same class feel significantly different.
Spells have been severely nerfed in comparison to previous additions, and spellcasters frequently have to meticulously pore over spell definitions to see if the kinds of things they want to do are permitted by WotC offical rulings.
Classes that were previously considered shit-tier (monk, barbarian) because of fundamental issues with their primary combat utility still carry those same issues in 5e. In other words, strong classes were nerfed, but bad classes stayed bad.
Excessively high HP among boths players and monsters can make fights a slog. Limited damage exacerbates this issue.
Play has been constructed with the idea that most games never surpas level 5 to level 9 gameplay (referred to by the books as "tier 2" gameplay) and so characters recieve diminishing returns for progressing into the higher levels unless the do really stupid munchkin stuff.
Political stuff in the edition (WotC trying to remove alignment, race/alignment restrictions, popularize exotic races, etc.) rubs people the wrong way.
libtards don't get it, woke has always been a thing and we don't really care that you feel like -every- piece of media has to agree with you, we're upset that now you tell shitty stories in order to force feed everyone woke leftist propaganda
You know, as annoying as it is that Larian chose the sex sells route, which has permanently poisoned the discussions surrounding the game on Ganker, what would the alternative have been if they hadn’t? Instead of talks about troons, or cucking, or gay sex we would be inundated with such riveting discourse like >You used Haste and Hunger of Hadar? >You didn’t beat the game
Discourse is hyper focused on sex because the game is actually trash and the flamewar spammers that keep this trash on the board perpetually know if they pretended like the combat was good the threads would have died in two weeks (which is what happened with DOS 2)
How about romances which are hard to elicit and require strong compatability between the character and the player character? Things like maintaining a particular code of ethics or principles for a long period of time for one character, while consistently being vindictive and brutal for another?
How about potential romance options with characters which aren't meticulously designed to be as attractive to as many people between the ages of 18 and 35 as possible? Characters that work to evoke a desire in the player to romance them instead of being nu-barbie cutouts who offer their genitals to you three in-game hours after meeting them?
How about interactions which develop into close friendships, or strong platonic relationships outside of lolfricking every character in your camp unless you REPEATEDLY choose to shoot down their advances?
But the problem with the >muh haste, muh hunger of hadar, autistic spreadsheets and DPS calculators
argument is that those things, combat, number crunching, build autism, etc. actually pertain to the core gameplay which *should* separate BG3 from a dating sim. I've mentioned this before, by game development is a zero sum effort. If dev time is spent reviewing "intimacy counselors" and ensuring maximal sexual inclusivity, that's time and money that comes out of dev time pointed towards things like writing a cohesive story or bug-fixing or creating engaging combat scenarios. I assume if Larian hadn't gone full-tilt in making a softcore porn game, they probably would have delivered something much more polarizing to broad audiences due to its mechanical complexity, but generally more memorable and enjoyable to the core cRPG audience.
>Bg3 has literally no bonding moments for the party >The closest thing to a group activity is an orgy >Half of the significant interactions with comps is muh coom
Your right on the dot, Bg3 genuinely has no qualities of adventure and human emotion, if Larian made Lotr, they would be moronic enough to make Sam and Frodo gay because a sexual/parasitic relationship is all they can conceive of.
I had a close friendship with gale in my run
It was p cool, I could make fun of him in the toughest situations and he'd laugh about it with me
Gale is unironically a bro if you don't romance him
Remember all the dialog moments you had with Jaheira, Viconia, Aerie that slowly grows into romance up to the end of the game?
That was pure kino bg3 is garbage
I disagree that that's ONLY what there is, but I just think if your going to include romance it should be romantic, bg3 is just self indulgent to pornographic in its displays of affection.
>You lost, miserably
This is the typical seething reply of someone that is foaming because people criticizes their sacred cow.
And you just know who they vote for every time...
Choose based on who you enjoy talking to more so than anything. BG3 is not super dependent on having every role of a traditional party filled, such as having 1 caster, 1 rogue, etc. All characters level (almost) the same as you, even if they haven’t been out actively questing. You can swap them out and you can respec them at any time after 2-3 hours into the game.
It's honestly up to you. I don't think you have to bring your waifu w/you in BG3 if you want to raise affinity with them, but you might miss dialogue if you don't take your fave-y with you for certain interactions.
For metagaming/balanced party stuff, it doesn't really matter. I've found the BG3 is easy enough that you can basically take whoever and be totally fine even on Hard mode. Gale kinda sucks early game, but becomes much more powerful if you make him a Diviner/Abjurer and give him Haste at L5. Besides that, heavy martial parties kick ass early and stay strong throughout the game. Battle Master Laezel is really strong in the first Act, and Minthara is quite good as well. The strongest class imo is Paladin and Bard, so if you can slot both of those into your party, you'll have an easier time. Oh, and Will sucks because Warlocks are a loltier class without bullshit level dipping.
>mcdonalds uses (used) a clown in its advertisement therefore customers of mcdonalds love clowns!
im not exactly sure what kind of reply you were expecting given how completely bizarre the whole premise was to begin with
Not a fiar comparison. A better comparison would be >McD's uses a clown for advertising because they're primary audience is children. >Larian used bear fricking, bestiality, trannies and softcore porn in their advertising because their primary audience is...

It could just be they don't like bing bing wahoo games, hell I personally like what remains of editch finch more than botw, it's a pretty good one for a walking sim. Neither would be my 2017 choice for goty though.
Baldurs gate 3 undeniably has some woke stuff.
It mindbroke people because it still managed to be a good game.
The only people who win here are people who just want to play a fun game
>The only people who win here are people who just want to play a fun game
Except that people do not live alone in the woods and what changes the industry affects everyone around the industry.
BG3 has terrible writing, awful jokes, and an unwell focus on porn. This will poison the industry now.
Specially considering the shoehorning of trannies and blacks, the non stop homosexual thing and the developers being quota hired people.
Following up comics industry and movies industry, because of them the gaming industry will now decline too.
>I'm losing
How? A generic CRPG that got popular enough to revitalize the genre among normalgays is nothing but a good thing for me. If I'm ever going to make a game it's going to be an autistic CRPG , and Baldur's Gate 3 just launched those games into a new sphere of popularity again
>wanting your favorite genre to be "revitalized" among "normalgays"
Anon, I...
once again i didnt call you a prude, learn to read or something...i think youve demonstrated well enough that youre not interested in a genuine conversation but are instead being as disingenuous as is possible, even repeating the assigning beliefs part like you didnt even understand what i was talking about
The normies didn't even care, BG3 did nothing, online is still a more profitable venture, indie Devs still struggle with RPGs and it arguably did more damage to fantasy as a whole because it's generic as can be.
I simply do not see how with modern Dev times, BG3 could even influence something let alone gain a spiritual successor.
At most Devs will learn that purchased early acces is good for extracting wealth before proper funding. And that jokes sell
a joke better than gameplay.
>I simply do not see how with modern Dev times, BG3 could even influence something let alone gain a spiritual successor.
The only reason it wouldn't is because all that mocapping, animating and voice recordings couldn't have been cheap even with DIE money. Otherwise, hell yes this game will be remember for years to come and with the advent of AI it'll most likely become much feasible to accomplish with a smaller budget. Not that I'm necessarily too happy mind, I would much prefer if there was a dialogue box (still voiced) instead of full-on animations. Video game animations don't look good at all when it comes to emoting so just stop, I don't wanna look at what I personally perceive as "my face is tired"-tier shuffling around the whole time.

They hate you for seeing them for what they are.
me
do the majority have to be homosexuals for these people
plenty of gay people etc in the game
Swen has no "nostalgia" for medieval Europe. He never experienced it.
Nostalgia is different from appreciating or idolizing the past.
Also. Wearing armour doesn't equate to some kind of fetish thing.
And medieval Europe wasn't brutal for people of colour. Outside of traders, that mostly thrived, there weren't people of colour in medieval Europe outside of rare examples.
Unless. This guy is hyper focusing on the late medieval period specifically and the crusades against the middle east. But Swen's armour isn't even of that period.
It's so crazy that they go from I CANT BE GAY to genocide against blacks due to his armor meme to being a literal nazi. It's like no whites were killed in medieval wars and only black people died, which obviously could not be further from the truth
Imagine being that mentally ill.
Other videogames should take notes. You make all your homosexual and troony characters killable and your game becomes an instant hit.
shut up troon, BG3 will NEVER EVER be Gankercore. It's a disgusting woke ESG game with lots of troon pandering
>BG3 will NEVER EVER be Gankercore
You are transgender and dark-skinned.
GTFO feminist, hot women and sex with hot women will always be Ganker
Frick off false-flagging disingenuous troony israelite spawn.
You aren't trying to claim the wokest game of 2023 (by far) as chudcore aren't you, because that would be embarrassing
>D&D (most troony possible) genre game is anti troony
Just accept that the game you like is the wokest yet. You love them game despite it.
Why seethe and fight the inevitable?
Not a lot of games have female body, male voice 2, penis 3; options. Its a troony game. simple as (B-but its option..) Yea, because its a troony game that gives you troony options. Unlike a chad game like every other RPG where you can play as MAN or WOMAN(no penis).
The game lets me to have a female body and a dick, its a troony game and you WILL accept this is the future, chud.
The game also lets you have a nice day like a troony KEK! Tranies lost, give up troon.
The game also lets my troony characters to kill hetero-normative characters. Chuds lost, give up chud.
perfect, that way everyone can see you trannies for the evil abominations that you are
The worst part is he's right
This, I've killed every homosexual, every brownoid, and every troony in this game and I get REWARDED for doing it
>Devs are soi cucks so no real evil content, game is shallow mess without the rest.
Your reward was simply cutting the playtime
>This guy has been samegay replying to his own post for hours about how le based BG3 is while another BG3 thread rages on right next to this one with the same set of schizos seething about it again

Are you pretending that nintendo fanboys don't exist?
How long has it been that you've been screeching about Nintendo since somebody actually called you on your autism
You're personally offended by that post and you're projecting your own real illness that has made you obsessed with a video game company, very sad!
So you talk to yourself about things that you've never had an actual experience of, you're a piece of shit and should have a nice day
You get very angry, very quickly! Seek professional psychological help, fanboy.
You spam about Nintendo in every thread and admit you have no reason for doing so, you have something seriously wrong without you
You seem to think that there is only one person in existence who dislikes autistic, unwashed nintendo manchildren, you are delusional, probably because you are the exact person people complain about. You are projecting in self-defence, you are pathetic.
Yes there's only one person that spams about nintendo in unrelated threads, the perpetual samegay spammer that tries to start flamewars to bump HIS shit threads
i bring up how botw is a shit baby game in unrelated threads all the time and i can assure you theyre not my threads, maybe its medication time
You haven't even played BG3 and you make threads for it daily
This is mental illness in action, it's like watching a car crash.
Go ahead and defend BG3 any time OP
lets see the best you've got
After you provide any proof it's "only one person"!
Stop moving the goalposts here and get some help.

BG3 is loved because of coomers. That it. It's easy, pretty to look at and has sex in it. Therefore, it's GotY material for 90% of the modern gaming poplation.
romance is the worst part of the game (pretty sure there isnt actual nudity either) but keep your headcanon going anon
ahhh.. the blatant lying aproach to arguments
nice
Romance in every videogame is shit. I don't think I've ever seen a romance in a game after 25+ years of playing them that actually had remotely decent romance.
Outside of Snoot Game, ofc.
You both missed my point: BG3 is loved in the same way that porn is loved by coomers or heroin is loved by addicts. It's base, animalistic manipulation. The developers are offering virtual breasts and pussy and softcore-tier porn scenes in exchange for peoples willingness to slog through C-tier gameplay.
For 80% of the people who purchased it, gameplay, character growth, metagaming, story progression meant nothing. Pretending that your character could group sex Shartnmart, frick frogb***h or suck off Halsin was why the purchased the game. Bioware figured this out over a decade ago with Mass Effect: let the player self-insert and frick a 2D companion, and your game will sell millions of copies. Safe and effective! Writing and programminig games is difficult and risky, mocapping drow fricking is easy and SELLS baby!
If BG3 had been ESG'd with ugly-frick characters as hard as other games, and if it had been slapped with an AO rating (which it should have been) and removed from Steam, and there wasn't a MASSIVE centi-million dollar effort to market it as the ultimate coom game, it would have flopped hard. I know this, you know this, and troons are either a) in denial about this fact or b) so porn-addled and deranged from their hormone therapy that they muster the willpower to admit this to themselves.
It's not even loved by coomers, it's a failure in every regard. The game was made for women and trannies, not exactly the coomer audience
yeah thats right, give me that headcanon
>headcanon
>literally the center of the entire marketing
the center of marketing is it's some weird gender studies game, coomers may be moronic but they're not THAT moronic
how is it possible for someone to be this dumb and still be able to use the internets
50/50 chance it's a false flag at this point. These threads are horribly inorganic spam
>ignores entire proof

That is one of the most moronic examples I have ever seen on Ganker.
You are below average to think it is similar in any regard.

Is that an edit?
This is a denail post. Note that the entire premise of my post is disregarded and dismissed as a fantasy. Yet anyone with a non-estrogen and AIDS infested brain could easily provide counterpoints to the core ideas of my argument:
1) players who took a chance on BG III were largely incentivized by the romance options
2) Sex sells, even in video games, and the success of Mass Effect and Dragon Age attest to this fact. The sex-forward formula is tried and true, and a great way to sell the game to a broad audience.
3) the game had a multi-year, massive marketing campaign which forwarded sexual diversity and openness
4) The game has characters which are generally better looking than other western games which came out around the same time, which is odd considering that there has been a nearly one-decade effort in western studios to make characters look """realistic""" at the expense of attractiveness.
5) The game has explicit scenes of sex and sexuality, yet was never given an AO rating, while games with significantly less sexually explicit contnet (Thrill Kill, Hatred, Manhunt 5) HAVE been given AO ratings and were summarily removed from Steam.
6) You are a walking ball of self-contradictions and deinal. A walking abortion, of sorts: a troon.

>its not coomers
What is this then?
journos being coomers?
Exactly anon, coomers love this game because it has a lot of porn. Some of them are even journalists that posted only about the coom and knew that coom articles gets clicks because of coom
Thank you for agreeing with me eventually. That was a nice talk.
what kind of logic is that, journos are coomers so the people playing the game are coomers as well? never mind that not too many people read those trash rags, certainly i would hope nobody that browses Ganker does
>Thank you for agreeing with me eventually. That was a nice talk.

bg3 defenders are the most dishonest people on Ganker
I still have no idea how people ignore "fiddlecub" with how much shit we see these days, that is one step away from that Minecraft tuber whose fursona was on children's underwear.
im gonna stop you right there champ because it looks like youre in the process of assigning some beliefs to me just because i question your narrative, no doubt those same beliefs you think "the enemy" is having. which is to say all evil stuff, not just misinformed, but flat-out evil
your logic makes no sense for a multitude of reasons, from journos not being the gatekeepers of fandoms to many people finding out about the game from non-activist sources to there actually not even being any graphic sex in the game
The scene between Minthara and your PC is as graphic as any softcore pornography you can see on late-night HBO. It's drawn out and explicit enough that it could reaslistically be hit with an NC-17 rating in the USA.
Why are you lying? Would you say that a 90 second sex scene which overtly shows everything but full-on close-up genital penetration is *not* graphic?
Yeah, there's a gog related website that hosts a free copy of it, but I'm not sure what the domain is. Search around and I'm sure you'll find it.
i wonder if you even realise youve twisted yourself into a pretzel to the point where you're sjw-levels of pretending to be an islamist prude, but its all for ideological reasons of course
if you think bg3 is a porn or coomer game or whatever, despite not having graphic sex scenes and despite romance in general taking up roughly 5 minutes per 20 hours of gameplay, then its pretty safe to say discussing it any further is pointless because what else is there to say?
>y-you're a p-p-PRUDE
Not an argument.
i didnt call you a prude, is this some sort of elaborate shitposting in which you deliberately misrepresent everything?
>HEH, i've got a backpocket revelation that revelas you've tied yourself into a rhetorical pretzel...
>that's right, PRUDE
>also, there's no graphic sex in BG3 -- no the overt elongated sex scene between minthara and your charname linked in the thread doesn't count
>no penetration? no problem. Not graphic.
>the romance (which was the central premise of the game's entire marketing campaign) is like, no big deal man
>w-why are you misrepresentng things, chud??
Your hormones are acting up again. Seek help.
once again i didnt call you a prude, learn to read or something...i think youve demonstrated well enough that youre not interested in a genuine conversation but are instead being as disingenuous as is possible, even repeating the assigning beliefs part like you didnt even understand what i was talking about
it's over for (You)
>not interested in a genuine conversation but are instead being as disingenuous as is possible

lol, the irony
you think im the op as well? it might be time for some heavier medication
Of course the low IQ is unable to understand and haven't even read what OP wrote.
oh, so because you dislike the op that means its ok to shitpost like a schizophrenic, staying in the thread that you hate the op of for some reason?
gonna be honest not sounding that much better
>i will ignore your posts and just call you schizo because u have no argument
as per usual
tell me again about how you think i called you a prude

God damn, no other group is more dishonest than bg3 shills man, ever in history of Ganker
>inb4 n-no! if you don't see pepee entering vagigy it doesn't count!!
I don't have a horse in this race being that I'm an outsider with no real interest in BG3 so I'm just going to say I've never once seen anyone talk about the story of the game.
>I've never once seen anyone talk about the story of the game.
That is literally reason for people attack you relentlessly in bg3 threads.
Because they didn't play the game.
It's bad, no memes or jokes, it's bad .starts interesting, multi threaded mystery and personal conflict.
Then there's act2 with the moronic gith and cdi adventure game over. The main villains are seemingly inspired by the power rangers bad guys including an anime/care bears pose.Simmons obviously thought it was a joke because his performance sucks.
And act 3 that retcons a prior plot point from the setting in a very hamfisted "see familiar thing" ploy, a villain who puts bombs in teddybears but also orchestrate goblin armies to paint himself as a good guy(while leaving evidence everywhere in a setting with magical communication).or the thrilling climax, that literally no one mentions unlike Kotor or bg1 and 2 etc
>You now remember all those threads advertising based sex animations that they spent a lot of time and money on
I'm so sick of the coomshit Mr.Frodo.

>never played the game
I beat that shit-tier cakewalk *twice* in a week w/my wife on Hard mode. Oath of Ancients Pally first playthrough, Assassin => Gloom Ranger => Fighter 2 for my second playthrough. The second builds was hilariously overkill considering how milquetoast and braindead combat is in BG3.
now we're cooking with schizophrenia
botw is a shit baby game btw
You have proven my theory correct by literally stating it's "only one person".
Yes.
Wokeness debate is killing whats left of Ganker
The game is pretty good objectively and no one cares how many gays or not are in it.
It would have to be patched pretty heavily for that to be true, I played a buggy and incomplete mess.
YWNBAW
>no one cares how many gays or not are in it.
I will never buy it because it has gays in it.

Good goy.

>successful = "lol it's was never woke because [insert very niche thing that is completely player dependent and ignores all the gays and trannies]"
>Unsuccessful = "lol get woke go broke"
It's physically impossible for chuds to admit they've ever been wrong about anything, even anonymously.
This, when you point out that Undertale is one of the most successful games ever and one of the reasons is because of its inclusive cast, the naysayers use that exact language from your successful quote
>"Well actually it's super based because you can kill them lol!!!"
People don't even talk about undertale anymore
No one sites “inclusivity” as a reason why Undertale is successful.
Nice historical revisionism
One (1) no-name journo drawing a conclusion out of thin air doesn’t prove your point.
Are you kidding. That game panders hard to that audience.
Undertale is like anime, it has a fan base so insufferable they get ousted, they even do it to themselves, Caliphate brained.
Being able to murder obnoxious characters does take the edge off, yes. Undertale is still trash though and its fanbase is batshit crazy.
>Murder hobo dissonance
I fail to see how this alleviate much in BG3 because you take a hatchet to what little questing there was to begin with.
I think the number of people who play Undertale specifically for the lesbian couple is pretty minimal. I feel like most people probably played it for the fact that it's a pretty fun, quirky little thing you can clear in a couple of hours. Then again, the presence or absence of lesbians in a game has never really moved the needle one way or another for me, so maybe I'm just projecting my feelings on the larger community of players.
>one of the reasons is because of its inclusive cast
everyone universally agrees alphy's date is the worst part of the game,
Undertale is crazely popular because of Sans and Papyrus and Sans' fight is a modern classic,
you still have new megalovanias made, AUtism is usually about cosmetic skins of Sans and it wouldn't be that far of stretch to say 70% of UT content is about Sans
I love how the replies to this post prove the point it and
were making.
Get woke, go broke, sell 30% to avoid choke
i don’t understand the hype with this fricking game, man. I tried nodding all of the homosexual woke shit out of it and the game wouldn’t launch for months until i literally had to reformat my fricking c drive since “the installation is corrupt”. Frick you woke homosexuals and your gay angels
>implying anyone who actually matters gives a shit about goys giving other goys awards for being the goodest goys
BG3 won all 5 awards. That has never happened in gaming history before.
why should we care?
Does this mean we will be getting more shitty dating and dress-up simulators?
I love BG3 so I won, bigly

Why did Belgian embassy in China of all thing reported on BG3 sales?
Swen/larian said multiple times in interviews that BG3 far exceeded their expectations in terms of sales/players, shitposter-kun
Of course they did, because the "everyone is playing it therefore it must be good" is a marketing strategy. It's the same reason they botted concurrent player count for into elden ring numbers without being anywhere near elden ring sales.
There reason it was nowhere near elden ring sales is because BG3 barely sold on consoles, while ER sold almost equally on PC and console. ER sold around 20 million, so a ~10 mil figure for BG3 sounds reasonable.
nationalistic pride
>game made by belgian developer doing well
>belgians boast about it
You will never get an answer
Wow, a woke game sold faster than a woke game?
Wokies lost this one, huh?
What's woke about killing bugs and robots with no insertion of LGBT or woke messaging whatsoever?
>He doesn't know
Better ask your cultural leader then come back to me later
Anon, the "community manager" that spouted woke bullshit was given a stern warning and removed all the flags from her discord profile.
>LALALALALALALALALAICANTHEARYOU
ok
>no argument.
Yes, anon, a game that gas NO gays, and NO trannies is selling better in much shorter amount of time and has much better player retention without the need to bot.
>All they get is a "stern" warning
Kek lmao
>either you stop this shit or you lose the job
yeah it's pretty stern, why?
>trannies now want to tell us helldivers 2 is woke
lmao.
>Were we misled?
Do people actually listen to this guy?
Lol /misc/homosexuals are so pathetic
Not thinking that Helldivers has political commentary in it has the same energy as politicians being shocked when people say shit like "I used to be a fan of your music but then you started getting political" towards Rage Against the Machine
anon i play Helldivers 2 because its fun as frick to play, i dont give a flying shit if the devs intented to make a political statement with it or not.
it doesnt have gay sex in it, no Black person voice overs - this alone makes it a non-woke game for me.
>BUT BUT BUT
but what?
>anon i play <insert next "woke" game you gays start crying about here> because its fun as frick to play, i dont give a flying shit if the devs intented to make a political statement with it or not.
Thanks, using this next rage cycle. Enjoy your racemixing propaganda.
Again, what's woke about killing bugs and robots?
>over half a year
>august 16 2023
anon that's two weeks after launch
Anon, their network engineer leaked the 10 mil "players" (not sales) number.
It says steam numbers only. A lot of people had bought it on GOG or PS5 too. I also double-dipped on PC and PS5 because my brother wanted to play it coop.
what's the difference? it's not on gamepass moron the only way a "player" would count is if they bought the game
The difference is they were giving away free copies for sub20hr review spamming and player count botting.
you are behind on the news, we are at 15 millions sales like Swen said, more specifically he said double what DOS2 sold.
About the 10 millions quote that you use, you strangely forgot that he said WAY OVER 10 millions and not just 10 millions you disingenuous subhuman.
you 6.8 million number is literally coming out of your ass as well.
shut up chink bugman troony shill. everyone sane knows those numbers are made up because tencent can just run hundreds of thousands of bots to generate engagement stats
sound like cope
nice cope
Japan doesn't like it so it's bad.
Is it just me or is /misc/ losing influence? It seems like every day more and more boards reject them
Misc is like old men yelling at clouds. The world evolved and moved on and they got left behind.
>muh /misc/ boogeyman
Maybe, just maybe, it's people with legitimate grievances instead of convenient strawmen, and you're never gonna get rid of those.
/misc/ has fallen back to 2019 era traffic except now it's a wasteland of schizos outside of huge events
/vg/ pretty regularly beats it in activity and it's not much faster than Ganker much of the time
Is it just me or is Ganker losing its marbles? It seems like every day more and more psychiatrists institutionalize them.
They're just jealous that Zelda didn't get 5 awards.
gotta admit, I'm having a lot of fun with bg3

>b-BUt TURN BaSED SUCKS DOE1! !
Neck yourselves squeenix
It's an alright game but nothing amazing. Writing and companions are very hit or miss, villains are shit, combat is kinda trash although it's probably more likely 5E being shit than Larian. I still play BG1 and 2 these days but I don't see myself playing this a lot especially after Larian said there would be no continuation. The most overhyped game ever
I'm not happy that BG3 got gassed up like this, but christ, SOMETHING needed to beat Nintendo's overpriced BotW expansion pack. Especially after the embarrassing and cringy LE HOW DID GAME AM POSSIBLE puff pieces they blatantly paid for.
anon zelda is a game for 5 year old kids, if you are playing it, you should have a nice day.
Cool pavlovian response, anon! But what did that have to do with what I posted?

Good. Still not gonna play your goyslop
BotW and ER will still be played decades from now. BG3? Not so much. Only know 2 people that got it. Compared to the 10+ that bought the other 2. BlackRock marketing for BG3 will only take you so far.
>ER will still be played decades from now
Lol
DS1 is still being played.
I am playing Elden Ring right now instead of BG3.
Only shitskin morons play elden ring

Yeah? Bg3 is trash but only shitskins play elden ring
So post hand.
Most gaming trannies have white hands. This doesn’t probe anything lol.
I accept your concession
Nah, I’m curious. What do you seek to confirm by that anon posting his hand? Demonstrate the science behind it.

Neither of those companies are even close to having a downfall take your meds
>critic opinions
Y A W N
Go woke go broke
I’ve met exactly zero people on real life that have played BG3, let alone even care to try it. Every other major GotY contender out there has had real people actually playing it or at least talking about playing it. Even Genshit Impacted, for as obviously astroturfed as it is, has people in reality playing it. Who the hell is actually playing BG3?
you got some weird friends then
i know about roughly 15 or so kinda friends that play vidya and of those, id say about 9 of them played BG3, myself included
Not even friend, I’m talking about people I meet at work, people I see at airports, people I hear my younger family members talk about. I’ve not met a single person who has played or talked about BG3 outside of me asking one person about the game back when the shilling as at its peak.
What did I lose exactly?
/v/irgins wanted bg3 to become tortanic so bad lol, but they were wrong, just like with dragon's dogma. it's there a more pathetic board?
Dragon Age inquisition also won GotY. Woke games get extra points. In a couple years I guess BG3 will also be just as well lauded as DAI is now, meaning it will be mostly forgotten. Maybe once the honeymoon's over, people realize that the game they're playing is kind of rushed and unfinished and buggy.
This is oversimplifying things. Zelda isn’t woke, Elden Ring isn’t woke, Sekiro isn’t woke, etc. The reality is that its a mix of marketing, sales, metacritic score, and perception by viewers of what the committee thinks they want to see. BG3 was riding high on the hype wave and was selling way above expectations. On top of that, they knew the backlash that would come if they selected TotK despite that game’s metacritic reception and sales being phenomenal.
Awards don't mean anything. Time is the only judge.
BOTW has stood the test of time, but not so much for the game itself, but more for what it represented (potential for the future and so on). When TOTK was released, expectations kind of collapsed. Time is not being kind to TOTK (in fact, it's being very cruel to it) and the curiosity is that BOTW will be taken with it.
Elden Ring is holding up well, I think, but also because of expectations. The DLC will be the factor that determines whether or not the time will be favorable to Elden Ring. I'm not a fan of the game, but I think ER will stand the test of time.
Baldur's Gate 3? I have no idea, I've never played it, and it seems to me to have a "liberal" humor that I particularly can't stand, because I hate homosexualry. So I have nothing to say about this game.
I can more or less agree with this. I HATED BotW, but it had potential in its foundation. Potential that TotK did absolutely nothing with and squandered six years later, which is why everyone wants to forget it exists.
I think ER will do just fine, as will BG3, which came out of nowhere to come out on top despite having nowhere near the same level of diehard fans like From or Nintendo.
It's cute watching Elden Ring, Zelda and Dungeon and Dragon virgins argue over which over their games is most relevant. Meanwhile, RDR2 continues to destroy them all in sells, attention and recognition. It's 6 years old but yearly it outsales all 3 still.
Is red dead even a game? I thought the series was just a way for rockstar to asset flip gta
This is one of the dumbest things posted so far today. Congratulations.
Are you sure? Outside of maybe rope mechanics, what in red dead isn't an asset flip?
You're saying it's not a video game because it shares elements a game that becomes before it? Lmao ER, BG3 and TotK are the same.
Yeah bg3 and elden ring are pretty much non games too. They're thrown together asset flips

This is what marxism says, yes
technically this is what moronic game developers say
Do they? pretty sure most game devs are incompetent morons that have killed the industry
correct. it's bloated shit and a lot of people need to be purged from the industry
The industry is never recovering
yeah..too many rich people trying to force dividends
No matter what your moronic theory is it's not recovering
I was agreeing with you, frick wad.
Are you?
I don't care what you two are blabbering on about, I disagree with both sides of your arguments regardless of the logic or lack thereof because I don't like either of you.
Thanks for attending my Trash Talk ™ Pty Ltd NL Trust.
"Industry" is part of the problem, it really should be something closer to a trade than a mass producer.
The actual talent is being gripped in a stranglehold by directives and directors, what starts as a little blue guy swinging a yellow stick at moving nondescript targets, then gets corrupted into a game about Tumblr McGee the round faced heroine of Uncoolesvile who fights boring people in a narrative of self discovery, ending not included.
Every entertainment industry is dying
Everything is, although at the very least the impending issues will be moreso man made than not, so at least once things stabilize and people haven't stripped all the machines for metals we can start them up again...we're fricked
>once things stabilize
Rich people are in power. A majority happen to be white, but it's not skin color that's the unifying factor of power.
I don't think israelites are actually white.
They're not white, and they're not the unifying factor either.
So if you went anywhere else in the world where white people aren't in power and started shitting on the locals about the color of their skin while trying to undermine their existence, that's cool?
Would be funny to see vs Han in China
Fragile whites will never be able to let this go

>I'm moronic
thanks for sharing it with the class, champ
If Baldur's Gate is so good, why does no-one talk about the gameplay?
It's a visual novel. The gameplay is reading.
because the gameplay is shit, losers spamming this "game" are just coomers, femcels and redditors, aka the filth of the internet
>average threads about BG3 on Ganker + awards
Last of Us 2 won game of the year, why would anyone think these awards signify quality?
Troon Gate 3
So... Elden Ring won more GOTY awards but not the ones that the author of this article deemed to be the "major" ones, in their own, personal opinion - got it.
I will never play this game because it has the stink of Bioware, Dragon Age like homosexualry. Every poster that recommends it reminds me of the homosexuals that play Dragon Age games.
Try harder
Okay motherfricker if you don't like this type of game why are you here looking for attention for not playing it?
Why are YOU here looking for attention by responding?
Cope. Over the target.
Because if someone doesn't call you out on your shitty behavior you won't ever have a chance to learn from it and grow as a person, Black person.
Not very progressive of you to use the n-word sister...
It's very telling that a single post describing a lack of interest in the game is apparently "shitty behavior". You are weirdly emotional about this game, probably a side effect of your hormone treatments.
He's OP trying to get people to bump his stupid threads. It's the exact same picture posted over and over in the OP and then he spends the entire thread trying a hundred different bait tactics to try and get a flamewar going
Odds are, knowing how batshit insane OP is, you're OP replying to yourself
Nice try OP. Man you're a total fricking schizo.
Reminder when you see the exact same picture posted for a topic over and over again it's actually the same person
This is the first I’ve ever heard of these “five major GOTY awards”

It's most one guy false flag spamming, the OP to most of the threads. See they can't get any actual traction because the game is shit
Masterpiece
RPG outlet GameStar ranked it #1 RPG of all time too
Can't wait to play throught he Baldur's Gate Trilogy again (BG I, II and ToB). What character class should I play next? Dubs decides.
Gonna run Ajantis (based paladin, takes no shit from anyone), Shar Teel (prolly dual to thief for GM in daggers, DEFINITELY gonna frick her since I have the NPC project), Xan to keep my good/evil characters from murdering each other, Tiax cuz I want a cleric that hasn't fricked every human on the surface, and... Kaigan maybe? Dunno about the fifth character.
Shadowdancer.
Shadowtwins + simulacrum = 4 hidden homies ready to backstab the living hell of Melissan.
I love that class, but I always am tempted to dual it into fighter. Losing the martial HP/con boost sucks, but getting GM in a weapon AND stealthing while observed is just to tempting to me. Shadow Twin is fricking amazing, but you get almost as much potency w/Vhalor's Helm on a ShadowDancer => Fighter.
Never beaten the series with a pure SD though, I'll consider it.
yeah me too can't wait to play bg3 trilogy.....act 1,2 and 3 again.
>ToB
>censoring character names
Why do all the women in this game look like the chud meme
they falsely believed modelling the characters after their target audience would boost sales, proving that visual representation doesn't actually matter
Only on Ganker could somebody call having more good games to play losing.
>5e
Hell no
I have no knowledge of dnd, why is 5e bad? I preferred DoS2 combat (after fixing the godawful armour system) but BG3 combat wasnt bad and was in fact very fun
He's a mentally ill spaz that posts that 5e is why BG3 sucks in every thread when BG3 is a DOS 2 asset flip
5e is very simple and excessively limited meaningful player choice and build diversity by "streamlining" class progression. Additionally, WotC felt that DnD would be most broadly marketable by imbuing DnD -- a roleplaying game -- with a system of balance and "fair play" (as well as iterative progression) typically used in video games/MMOs. This strategy is nearly identical to the one used by WotC for 4e, but was better marketed, and so caught on while 4e didn't.
Typically, people who dislike 5e would say that it's a bad edition because:
Multiclassing has nearly been abolished outside of a handful of very game-y couplings that are exlusively intended to do a very specific thing.
Characters (PCs) are extremely safe and the possibility of a character doing something risky and facing death is extremely unlikely.
Classes don't have sufficient diversity within their progression to make different characters of the same class feel significantly different.
Spells have been severely nerfed in comparison to previous additions, and spellcasters frequently have to meticulously pore over spell definitions to see if the kinds of things they want to do are permitted by WotC offical rulings.
Classes that were previously considered shit-tier (monk, barbarian) because of fundamental issues with their primary combat utility still carry those same issues in 5e. In other words, strong classes were nerfed, but bad classes stayed bad.
Excessively high HP among boths players and monsters can make fights a slog. Limited damage exacerbates this issue.
Play has been constructed with the idea that most games never surpas level 5 to level 9 gameplay (referred to by the books as "tier 2" gameplay) and so characters recieve diminishing returns for progressing into the higher levels unless the do really stupid munchkin stuff.
Political stuff in the edition (WotC trying to remove alignment, race/alignment restrictions, popularize exotic races, etc.) rubs people the wrong way.
I'm not reading all that.
That's because you're illiterate. Which means 5e is the perfect edition for you.
In my defense, I'd rather be hated than forgotten. The thug life is all I have. I have no god greater than mammon!
Interesting, thanks for the explanation

This game is dogshit casual garbage. Please play a game for adults.
I will never play Baldurs Gate 3 and I will never even look at a gameplay video of it and there's nothing you can say that will change my mind.
stunning & brave
I killed the necromancer circus master outside of Baldur's Gate.
Baldur's Gate 3 defenders are the most dishonest people on Ganker.
Leftists can only lie and gaslight.
They always lose, that is why they demand censorship.
You know, as annoying as it is that Larian chose the sex sells route, which has permanently poisoned the discussions surrounding the game on Ganker, what would the alternative have been if they hadn’t? Instead of talks about troons, or cucking, or gay sex we would be inundated with such riveting discourse like
>You used Haste and Hunger of Hadar?
>You didn’t beat the game
Discourse is hyper focused on sex because the game is actually trash and the flamewar spammers that keep this trash on the board perpetually know if they pretended like the combat was good the threads would have died in two weeks (which is what happened with DOS 2)
How about romances which are hard to elicit and require strong compatability between the character and the player character? Things like maintaining a particular code of ethics or principles for a long period of time for one character, while consistently being vindictive and brutal for another?
How about potential romance options with characters which aren't meticulously designed to be as attractive to as many people between the ages of 18 and 35 as possible? Characters that work to evoke a desire in the player to romance them instead of being nu-barbie cutouts who offer their genitals to you three in-game hours after meeting them?
How about interactions which develop into close friendships, or strong platonic relationships outside of lolfricking every character in your camp unless you REPEATEDLY choose to shoot down their advances?
But the problem with the
>muh haste, muh hunger of hadar, autistic spreadsheets and DPS calculators
argument is that those things, combat, number crunching, build autism, etc. actually pertain to the core gameplay which *should* separate BG3 from a dating sim. I've mentioned this before, by game development is a zero sum effort. If dev time is spent reviewing "intimacy counselors" and ensuring maximal sexual inclusivity, that's time and money that comes out of dev time pointed towards things like writing a cohesive story or bug-fixing or creating engaging combat scenarios. I assume if Larian hadn't gone full-tilt in making a softcore porn game, they probably would have delivered something much more polarizing to broad audiences due to its mechanical complexity, but generally more memorable and enjoyable to the core cRPG audience.
>Bg3 has literally no bonding moments for the party
>The closest thing to a group activity is an orgy
>Half of the significant interactions with comps is muh coom
Your right on the dot, Bg3 genuinely has no qualities of adventure and human emotion, if Larian made Lotr, they would be moronic enough to make Sam and Frodo gay because a sexual/parasitic relationship is all they can conceive of.
I had a close friendship with gale in my run
It was p cool, I could make fun of him in the toughest situations and he'd laugh about it with me
Gale is unironically a bro if you don't romance him
Remember all the dialog moments you had with Jaheira, Viconia, Aerie that slowly grows into romance up to the end of the game?
That was pure kino
bg3 is garbage
While the text was written okay(still hate how Jaheira abandons Khalid, he's my boy), the music for these was so extremely grating it's insane.
Games are not allowed anymore to have wholesome tradwives for you to save and romance.
Only prostitutes and psycho prostitutes now.
I disagree that that's ONLY what there is, but I just think if your going to include romance it should be romantic, bg3 is just self indulgent to pornographic in its displays of affection.
ofcourse the schizo is a camcam gay
lmao

This is the typical seething reply of someone that is foaming because people criticizes their sacred cow.
And you just know who they vote for every time...
I just started this game how do you guys choose who to bring with you? I like all the characters, they all bring something to the table
Choose based on who you enjoy talking to more so than anything. BG3 is not super dependent on having every role of a traditional party filled, such as having 1 caster, 1 rogue, etc. All characters level (almost) the same as you, even if they haven’t been out actively questing. You can swap them out and you can respec them at any time after 2-3 hours into the game.
It's honestly up to you. I don't think you have to bring your waifu w/you in BG3 if you want to raise affinity with them, but you might miss dialogue if you don't take your fave-y with you for certain interactions.
For metagaming/balanced party stuff, it doesn't really matter. I've found the BG3 is easy enough that you can basically take whoever and be totally fine even on Hard mode. Gale kinda sucks early game, but becomes much more powerful if you make him a Diviner/Abjurer and give him Haste at L5. Besides that, heavy martial parties kick ass early and stay strong throughout the game. Battle Master Laezel is really strong in the first Act, and Minthara is quite good as well. The strongest class imo is Paladin and Bard, so if you can slot both of those into your party, you'll have an easier time. Oh, and Will sucks because Warlocks are a loltier class without bullshit level dipping.
Not a fiar comparison. A better comparison would be
>McD's uses a clown for advertising because they're primary audience is children.
>Larian used bear fricking, bestiality, trannies and softcore porn in their advertising because their primary audience is...
You should get the point.
>You lost, miserably
Indeed. Granny Jaheira is not a romance option unfortunately.
We all lost.
Why are Americans so tragically obsessed with politics while simultaneously being so politically illiterate?
two-party system, and also unlike say australia, its not an irrelevant country so power matters
Blame leftist. Every single time is leftists.
As a third worlder, you guys do know you all look like a slightly different brand of fricking stupid right?
Have the Indian discord users recovered?
I still haven't played this game. Should I?
It's worth a try if you liked the DOS games and can get it for free.
Is there a way to pirate it yet?
its on gog dude

>BAFTA, hasn't been given to a non-American or European game in a long time.
So what? Are they heckin' racist?
No it just means they have shitty taste for snubbing Japan and so their opinion should be ignored. Just look at 2017: some walking sim over BotW.
It could just be they don't like bing bing wahoo games, hell I personally like what remains of editch finch more than botw, it's a pretty good one for a walking sim. Neither would be my 2017 choice for goty though.
Do you also like Vampire Survivors more than Elden Ring? If you are so against simplistic games intended for small children as you say, I doubt it.
>Do you also like Vampire Survivors more than Elden Ring?
No, why would you think that?
Baldurs gate 3 undeniably has some woke stuff.
It mindbroke people because it still managed to be a good game.
The only people who win here are people who just want to play a fun game
>The only people who win here are people who just want to play a fun game
Except that people do not live alone in the woods and what changes the industry affects everyone around the industry.
BG3 has terrible writing, awful jokes, and an unwell focus on porn. This will poison the industry now.
Specially considering the shoehorning of trannies and blacks, the non stop homosexual thing and the developers being quota hired people.
Following up comics industry and movies industry, because of them the gaming industry will now decline too.
>Yeah she's as busted as the last one, but I really feel it this time.
>I'm losing
How? A generic CRPG that got popular enough to revitalize the genre among normalgays is nothing but a good thing for me. If I'm ever going to make a game it's going to be an autistic CRPG , and Baldur's Gate 3 just launched those games into a new sphere of popularity again
Thank you Larian
>wanting your favorite genre to be "revitalized" among "normalgays"
Anon, I...
Stop watching porn.
The normies didn't even care, BG3 did nothing, online is still a more profitable venture, indie Devs still struggle with RPGs and it arguably did more damage to fantasy as a whole because it's generic as can be.
I simply do not see how with modern Dev times, BG3 could even influence something let alone gain a spiritual successor.
At most Devs will learn that purchased early acces is good for extracting wealth before proper funding. And that jokes sell
a joke better than gameplay.
>I simply do not see how with modern Dev times, BG3 could even influence something let alone gain a spiritual successor.
The only reason it wouldn't is because all that mocapping, animating and voice recordings couldn't have been cheap even with DIE money. Otherwise, hell yes this game will be remember for years to come and with the advent of AI it'll most likely become much feasible to accomplish with a smaller budget. Not that I'm necessarily too happy mind, I would much prefer if there was a dialogue box (still voiced) instead of full-on animations. Video game animations don't look good at all when it comes to emoting so just stop, I don't wanna look at what I personally perceive as "my face is tired"-tier shuffling around the whole time.
CRPGs put me to sleep

Well, yeah. Only my personal goty list is objectively correct and it’s subject to change at anytime.
Swen lost, miserably.
Without possibility of getting his company back.
