Why do e-celebs get to play early and we get cucked Swen? Fuck you.

Huh? Who's playing early?

Jewtubers are getting review copies today.

And they got their review copies too late, they should have gotten it earlier so that they have more time to review the game. This is already kind of a red flag that there are stuff later in this game that Larian doesn't want people to ask questions about.

also clothes and armor looks never used, and too shiny and clean.

Actually they've implemented system which makes armor dirty with time and also bloody. However after playtesters feedback ("thanks" to them yet again) that was very very much toned down to the point I didn't even notice it when was playing recently while wainting for the said system. Will see whether it'll be tuned a bit back.

It looks like the early EA versions started very good and then gradually worsened not thank to the ideas of the developers, but due to these player feedbacks. I hope these EA versions will be still available after the full release.

Well yeah, that's what happens when you let reddit develop your game

They have a whole week to do it, the other thing is that I don't believe that 90% of reviewers will even get to the middle of the game.
Larian could give them even a month and it wouldn't change anything.

It's all the fault of Tuco Benedicto Pacifico he could go to the larian studios but he refused.

 

[Readher]

If Larian did all of that, Swen would probably have assassins after him, since it could cause an industry crash.

An industry crash is exactly what it is needed.

I know, but Mr Shekelberg doesn't want it, hence the assassins.

Cmon, even if they wanted to get to the end, watching 74 hours of cutscenes takes time

You won't see 174 hours of cutscenes in a single playthrough considering there's probably 3-4+ variance in each scene. Even Final Fantasy has never had so many.

 

[Modron]

Why you posting Dragon Age Origins screenshots here?

These people supposedly review games for a living, and six days for one game isn't enough for a review? I call bullshit.

Is there a manual somewhere?

Demon Lord Reincarnation had one, came out this month

When was the last time you saw something like this?

ATOM RPG probably, so not that distant past. Granted there probably have been some since I just never looked too closely.

My weak competition destroys itself. When reviews of BG3 come out it will only get worse for Owlcuck studios.

You're next Todd...

 

[Gradenmayer]

While I'm very excited for BG3 myself I can see how someone could be disappointed that RPGs didn't go down the route of emergent storytelling if that's what you're interested in, there was a period around the mid 00s where that seemed like it might be a real possibility but the industry very much branched in a different direction. It's not really a priority for me personally but hopefully the advances in LLMs and all the AI courses springing up all over the place will mean that those sorts of games get made in the future as well.

The AI is already doing emergent story building quite well.

Try NovelAI- if you learn how to configure it properly the output is very good. You need to fill out memory, authors note, lore book and mess around with the AI settings to have it work decently.

Thought it’s subscription based.

Arthurian Legends. It is not an RPG, the manual is super short (9 pages total) and only in PDF version, but the developer actually made it. I guess for authentic feel, since the game is very retro.

Field of Glory: Empires is another example. And it is super useful, because it really helps you understand how the game works.

Wtf, I thought this was from a year ago, where they did slimy Eula change that ended up killing one of the best mods for the game before they backtracked it.

But they did it again apparently?

Owlcat is retarded. Looks like their warhammer is getting pirated.

You should pirate everything anyway - games are an art, and the best art is always created by poor and hungry artists, fueled only by passion and autism.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Thats an issue with all games. I dont think i have ever seen an rpg that had visual wear and tear on items.

What are you talking about? Did you forget the most forward-thinking ARPG of the 90s:

The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European but an Asiatic and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese and, from what I’ve seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them.
