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

[Orud]

You've got BG1 and BG2 fans in here, that's why. Don't like it? Maybe Larian shouldn't have called their trash Baldur's Gate 3.

BG2 is one of my most favorite games ever, but I always reconciled that anything that came after BG3 would be a sequel in name only. All I care about now is that it's a good D&D game, because that's all we can care about.

BG1 and 2 were the Bhaalspawn saga. It's over, the story has been told, so a third chapter would've always been disconnected from those. Look at The Black Hound, even that would've strayed away from what we regarded as "Baldur's Gate".

Money has always, for all known history, been the ultimate and they don't even try to hide that fact in the gaming industry. So I hope you're very young, because complaining about a franchise name being re-used for marketing purposes is like trying to stop the flow of time. Get over it or be disappointed again, and again, just to turn into a bitter old man for something you never held power over in the first place.

If we wanna be anal about naming conventions then BG2 should've not been called Baldur's Gate either.

The developers have always acknowledged that BG2 was a name chosen by marketing. I'm not sure about the exact name the developer preferred, but I think it was simply "Shadows of Amn".

I certainly plan to first play Solasta before I even touch this game (pirated of course, as soon as I have seen degeneracy they put into the game I am never giving them a single $). Then I can properly compare it with something that has same mechanics.

This is what I did. Solasta is a complete product as of now with a campaign and a high level campaign and a DLC mini campaign. The classes feel strong and simple to use but. Compared to the character models of BG3 Solasta has no chance to compare. There is a complete bundle for the game.

As for the faggotry in Solasta the only thing is during character creation they have a voice 3 which is a tranny voice for men and women but it is obviously a faggot male. Although you could argue this is to be inclusive it is really to be lazy and not actually make two extra voices. Also the hair and beards are total garbage compared to BG3.

Look at these Larian shills.

You sympathize with Larian. Why? Because you think they had to do this in order to make money? That's an excuse straight off of Reddit or Youtube comment section to give a free pass to SHIT work. Next you're going to tell me they couldn't do the game right because it would be too difficult, and would require crunch time and crunch culture is the boogieman.

They could make money making the BG3 I wanted but they chose not to. They chose to do DOS3, instead, and used their bigger budget to hire voice actors and animators to make those cringe as fuck cutscenes that are borderline unwatchable, but appeal to faggot zoomers for some reason.

Experiencing this event from two different perspectives is pretty cool.

That's what she said. To the bear.

And the faggot zoomer outs himself. Well done, faggot.

For people that hate the game, some users post an awful lot in this thread.

Such an interesting take that I have never heard here before.

If you've heard it so many times before maybe there's some truth to it?

Not a zoomer, most likely even older than you.

 

[Infinitron]

Gee its looking grim. How can they make such an expensive AAA game and then make all the characters hot garbage? And what is the canon ending to BG2? Abdel is gonna be in the game?

They really take a big shit on the fans here. It will sell loads though just because of how polished it is and how good the character models look. Will normies play this 5e joke game?

It really reminds me of cyberpunk. Larian is doing something similar here.

BG1/2 fans aren't really the target audience

It's like with Disney and Star Wars & Indiana Jones.
Buying an old franchise and raping it for name recognition.

Tasteful (turn-based) rape

You don't have to be under the age of 20 to be a zoomer, you know. You just have to think like one. Same reason a homosexual and a faggot are 2 distinctly different entities. A homosexual is just that, but only in the bedroom behind closed doors.

Tim Cain is a FAGGOT, because he puts videos out on social media telling everyone he is gay while waving a rainbow flag.

If you defend what Larian is doing, you're both. And that's a sad fact, isn't it? You cocksucking gaylord.

Jesus fucking Christ. Get a grip.

I'll state it again, since you clearly missed it the first time, what good is complaining about something that you know you can't change anyway? I think you're an idiot for even trying, although youthful stupidity can explain it.

i would play bg3 just to make crapcom fanboy Drakortha butthurt

I could rate your post retarded. But I'm not going to.

I'm going to talk about it because it's my opinion. Don't like it? Fuck off to reddit or some other place where no negativity is tolerated. I'm getting tired of faggots like you on the Codex who want to play hallway moderator.

Congratulations, you didn't resort to pressing buttons like a baby. You must feel all grown up now.

And companies want to make money, always have. If you don't make money, the company disappears. Just look at the corpses in the industry of the past 20 years alone.

DOS2 made hands over first money, you can simply Google to find out that it sold across all platforms just South of 10 million copies. Feel free to go and tell RPG developers not to chase that tail.

I'm not saying I don't like it, I'm saying it's futile and stupid. You're the one that said numerous times, even in the 2nd sentence that I quote here, that you don't like our opinion. Maybe you should take your own advise?

 

[Drakortha]

Maybe you should take your own advise?

No, because I'm fucking angry and I'm not going to "take my own advice" and go kick rocks, because that doesn't help. Not unless those rocks look like Swens ugly face.

No, I don't think you do. If you did then you'd be talking about them in their respective threads. Instead you're here suffering from some kind of psychotic breakdown. Obsessing over things you obviously don't like is not healthy.

I do know what I want. I was looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3 up until the very first gameplay reveal, where it was unveiled as just another DOS game. I've wanted a true sequel to Baldur's Gate forever, but I wanted a different game than what Larian is doing. All I could do was shake my head and think "here we go again with this same shit again" while Swen blew up explosive barrels and watched to see if I was getting excited. No, I was getting livid watching that shit unfold in front of my eyes.

This is Larian. Even before the Original Sin games they generated threads such as "Divine Divinity is the best shit game I have ever played". They've never been a high tier developer and expecting much from them is an exercise in futility. They can't even implement a day/night cycle ffs. Regardless, this is no reason to spend any more of your own free time fretting over it. As you yourself said, it's not the game for you. Complaining about it won't change that, ever. Try and find the game that is and then discuss it. You'll do more to help yourself by bringing awareness to the games you like. Konjad made a nice post today that really hits the nail on the problem many people on this site have. And I don't mean to dab on you, but doing a very quick glance at your posting history shows you only posting endlessly about games you hate. Why? What are you trying to achieve? Certainly not trying to find something enjoyable to play, that much is evident.
