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

[Late Bloomer]

Am i psychotic?

No, you are just overly excited about a game I find repugnant. You aren't loud about your fetishes. You seem to want people to get along. Once in a while though, someone really annoys you and you argue back. But you are not cruel in your words.

 

[Takamori]

I don't remember sucking this bad last time I played.

Just hanging around

How many more days until BG3?

18 days until you can chew your watermelon with disgust sir

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

AAA in what department? Bearfucking? Larian going AAA has only made their games worse for me. The more money they get, the less I recognize of what once was great about them.

Most Larian games were junk to me. The combat in DOS was too repetitive and the story too nonsensical.

I think the only Larian game I ever liked was Divine Divinity in 2002.

Yes, the bear thing is degenerate and dumb, just like sheepfucking in Arcanum was. But I'm not going to say the game sucks for that alone.

The Avengers-tier writing that's the reason for the bear sex otoh...

You speak about avenger tier writing. Yet people linked or mentioned Dragon age 2 and Inquisition in this thread. I don't find the writing bad only the starting is a bit too much Micheal bay for my taste. But then afterward is pretty good.

I think sex appeal sells more than showing an awkward sex scene. Titilation does not necessarily equal a robotic simulation of the act.

For horny teens and sex-starved millennial porn addicts, either will do, I guess.

Speaking of Oblivion: who would want to see an ugly Oblivion face moaning and groaning is beyond me, but Lovers lab exists.

At least they're giving you the option to disable the nudity though.

I think DA2+ is objectively worse in the writing department, yes. Doesn't change how I feel about BG3 writing - which I will say again is still half-way decent most of the time in EA, and vastly superior to other Larian games, even if they did dumb it down as time went on and added gay bear sex or whatever.

Inquisition I never dared to touch after my experience with Dragon Age 2, it was peak Joss Wheadon bullshit besides the inconsistencies with Church being bad and Mages good but Mages end up behaving like unhinged psychos and the game weirdly try to portray as good. Also I randomly got raped by the elf chick because I clicked the wrong option.

 

[Elthosian]

Why is everyone talking about 70 bucks? The game is 60 usd/eur.

When I already paid for said watermelon 3 years ago, I think I've earned that right.

That scene is more of a joke. It also pans out and show a squirrel traumatized. Come on.
In gtav there was a fake advert of a beer. Pisswasser in wich a drunk dude have sex with a pig trapped between two haywheels.

I referenced that we are getting out with a good deal with this game given the common practice in the market now to be 70 bucks.

Oh, true, and some companies are trying to push for 80 :/

Why did you buy it three years ago? Does having already purchased it make you defend it because you spent money on it? I mean, a day/night cycle with npcs that have some life to them outside of cutscenes would be better than what it is now.

 

[Modron]

Casuals ubisoft said they wanted to make 100 the goal years ago.

 

[Takamori]

Well they already do it with their fuckfest of gold, platinum diamond turd edition.
And this good old marketing, hey you want the full experience bucko? Pay 100 bucks.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

Curiosity, meet cat.

Does having already purchased it make you defend it because you spent money on it?

Nope. Go back and read all my posts criticizing it.

Bad arguments make me defend it. Muh day/night cycles, muh cinematic dialog, muh RtwP - we've known about this stuff since, what, 2019?

This site used to be about good CRPGs, not "this game is shit because it doesn't have day/night cycles, or a 'real AI' like Oblivion or The Sims 2!"

Instead of being so dumb as to use it as a "gotcha", you should be asking yourself why people who think Inquisition sucked are now looking back at it fondly in comparison to this trash. That's exactly why this is so bad. It's so bad it makes the previous badness look decent in comparison.

There is also an air of betrayal to this whole thing. I've said this before. I despise what Larian has become doubly so because I used to really like them. When someone has set expectations at a certain level and they nosedive way below that level, it's worse than when you expected trash from them in the first place.

Don't take this to be confusion. I understand exactly what happened here. My disgust comes from a place of both jilted love & understanding that Larian got co-opted. I'm not unaware. My disdain stems from my awareness.

Diablo IV recently did that. They had three different "editions" to sell. With those charts showing what you don't get if you are a scrub and only pay for the standard 70 dollar verison. Then the next one is 90 and the one after that is 100. I bet they sold a lot more of the 100 dollar versions than the 90 dollar ones.

You need to start comprehending the meaning of context. Context is everything.

That clip is making fun of pigfucking in a very derogatory way. It would probably be offensive to any actual pigfuckers out there who saw it.

The BG3 shit on the other is more tongue and cheek and is showing it in a more accepted light. It's presented in a way that it is normal behavior.

One is very different than the other. Learn context.

Huh? I am thinking that, dude. Right now. Are you serious? The game with an ultra-fag NPC party member? The game with an ugly Slav lesbo elf? The game where you can fuck some inhuman bull thing?

You were complaining about cinematic sex scenes on the last page. Now you want DAI - the singleplayer MMO that made Critical Role faggotry seem traditional and straight-laced?

Why?

The other thing is the reaction. When your audience claps to something that is supposed to be funny... well, it now became a serious thing. It reminds me of when Colbert would say something satirical and then the audience would clap for it, and he would have to say, "STOP CLAPPING." At a certain point, when you demonstrate degeneracy for laughs and everyone you are displaying it to says, "Wow! Bravo! More of that!" you should be asking yourself what is going on, not more and more quietly whispering, "It's only a joke."

Dude you are seeing way too much in to it. I laught at it i am not bothered by it. Why you bother so much?

With the early access thingy they made a lot of cash with it. And prepare your anus companies will sell "early" access with their deluxe editions because it doesnt cost anything to implement. We know the customer base has the self control of a crack addict so free money.
Diablo IV is criminal because its a paid game with the monetization of a F2P game.

I don't like DA:I. I don't like BG3 either. My point is if previous decline seems less decline in comparison to the new decline, that isn't an endorsement of either. It's just showing you how bad things have gotten.

If not for Larian this turn based games renaissance never arrived to start with.

Well, I just have to disagree, man. I still haven't seen a single scene or quest or anything in BG3 that holds a candle to the metric shitton of homosexual perversion in DAI.

The bear sex and maybe Karlach (if it's a tranny) is about the closest it's gotten to that. Everything else, especially the gameplay, is by FAR incline compared to that train wreck of a game.

"Gather the 6 items to do x" over and over just so you could go on another errand for your literally gay party members that get forced on you at the start of the game. Nah. I'll take BG3 all day and just avoid the Astarion x Bear scene.
