Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

What do we think of concurrent players at launch day?

My guess is in the region of 250k.

I think 350K and that's being realistic/conservative. There's the chance to see it climb even above this threshold if the initial word of mouth is good and they don't scare people away with too many technical problems.

Appreciate you pointing this out. Someone had to wade through that muck, to find out that buying Baldur's Gate 3, accepting it as a gift, spending valuable time playing, is to support these ideals. Even equality is not good enough for those absolute nutjobs. It never was though. Imagine being a decent human being, reading those hate filled ideas, and saying to yourself "yes this is ok. I agree with this. I am looking forward to playing this", knowing that this is what the developers support. Or even worse (?), imagine pretending that you don't like these topics, but still playing, still spending time, knowing what you are supporting. I don't know which one is worse. One is a self loathing piece of shit, the other is a cuck beyond measure. Which one are you, BG3 (Larian) fans?

Noooo you don't get it, it's just for marketing like the bear sex Swen is such a troll ha ha ha, BG3 is a game of the decade did you hear about the R E A C T I V I T Y, stop with the autistic political screeching you should talk about the game

Well, at least your self-portrait is accurate.

Release was moved up by another 2 hours. They are quite cocky.

The litmus test isn't the launch day number but the number after a month. 90% of players will have dropped the game by then.

I know that, I'm curious about launch day numbers, and what people are guessing.

 

[yes plz]

Trans-lifeline was originally a complete scam used as a personal piggybank. They fired the two that got found out but as far as I know most of the time there's still rarely anybody working those phones.

Jesus Fuck I'm so exhausted by the hype of this tranny divos clone piece of shit. It's everywhere.

That would be a fucking stupid litmus test for a single player.
Not matter how good or replayable, NO SHIT most people will move away after a month.

Anyway, the peak won't be on the first day but on the first weekend.

They had 50k peak for the early acces release, before all the marketing and normie hype.

To compare with DOS2, it had 3k peak for early access, 90k for full release.

BG3 subreddit already has nearly 200k subscribers pre release.

I estimate minimum 400k peak

Because they've dropped the game without ever finishing it, yes.

Piratechads win again.

You think someone would do that, go on 4ch and post bait?

Over/Under odds on this being a backdoor to steal people's passwords?

Eat your goyslop and like it.

The last big release I remember playing that had 0 lgbtkxyujvjhvhmvhd nonsense was Elden Ring. I actually have the impression that mainstream jap games in general are still free of this crap.

So I guess our choice is to either become a kawai desu jap game lover or just stop playing games altogether?

There are based indie games such as Battle Brothers though. Too bad so few of them make the cut into something actually enjoyable.

This game's EARLY ACCESS, before release, got more players than Deadfire.

0 because the torrent doesn't exist

Volourn is a billion times more funny than this Drak guy. How dare you compare them

Volourn is a closeted Chiefs fan. His legend precedes him and I respect the old man. Btw I'm super excited for August 3rd. I have a special video planned.

Can you provide a link to your videos?

Hey, that's unfair. Deadfire didn't have bear sex.

No mods about it either
Is it any surprise it didn't resonate with gamers, and failed?

It got more players than majority of RPG games. Even Wrathfinder peaked lower than BG3 early access. (46k vs 48k)

Launch Day? Hmmm... Thats a big download and no preload as far as I am aware. I will say 300k Launch Day with a peak of 700k sometime during the week. How about you Abu? Do you think the numbers will rise from your guess of 250k post launch day?

Try The Door to Trithius. I'm having a blast with it until I can get hot and bothered with the bear.

I think it will peak at maybe 400-500k during the weekend.

DOS2 EE had a peak of 90k players, but I think the D&D IP alone will draw in players. DOS series might have done well for the genre, but it isn't really something your "average" (don't know a better word) gamer will play.

I think that people will be more willing to try out BG3. Both because turn-based games are more popular, pandering to all kids of groups/degenerates, nature of the IP (D&D being fairly popular), and more people playing games. They have also been quite active on social media, and there has been more buzz around the game compared to the DOS games.

Review keys still not out.

Switching to passive aggressiveness to avoid a thread ban won't work if you still repeat the same thing over and over btw

It will work if Crispy is in charge of things.
