Whenever I see these hour-long streams, I wonder: do people really have that much free time to follow something like this? And even if they did, is this the option they choose to spend that time on, really? I think I really am getting old.

 

[Black]

Maybe on their next shill tour they could present something worthwhile, like proper pathfinding or day and night cycles instead of gay bear sex.

Many people watch it during work, like I did.

I get that this is the joke, but in order to do that they'd first have to implement something other than gay bear sex.

Wait until you learn the eloi don't actually work at their jobs, just sit in their cubicles (or at home) and jack off while being paid to watch streams.

 

[Bastion]

So you've pirated Solasta for having a black general and they/them pronouns.
And now you'll do the same because the game gives you choices to have sex with shapeshifter.

This alt-right den never disappoints.

Have you ever been like in your early twenties?

Seriously, no day/night?? What is this, a mid-90s console game? I might have to take that personally.

 

[MrBuzzKill]

Even BG1 had day/night... as well as weather effects. Now 25 years later we apparently can't do it anymore. Expectations dropped even lower...

 

[MicoSelva]

Seriously, no day/night cycle?
Larian really went down a weird path since their games are being crowd-designed by the BioWare Social refugees.

More like clown-designed. Heh-heh.
And you'll have to lp it.

 

[Zanzoken]

So this hunk of shit is finally going to release, eh? Let me check my stash and see how many fucks I have to give.

Spoiler

Oh well.

 

[Drakortha]

Is anyone else growing tired of video game marketing these days being so self centered around the devs behind the game?

Bethesda and now Larian. These clowns try so hard to be likeable in front of a camera. They think their like-ability will transfer into a great game experience. Somehow?..

I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. Crunch or don't crunch. I don't give a fuck if you had to crunch for 6 months straight to do Day / Night cycles and NPC schedules and an immersive world I can engage with. Make it happen or fuck off with your gay pandering bullshit for easy sales and attention you QUEERS. You're a disgrace Larian.

A classic salesman's manipulation. Salesmanship is very evil because it uses your good nature against you. It's easy to be mean about a product, so they attach a token amount of friendly, likeable faces to it. If you're not a crazy person, it's going to be instinctually much more tough to be mean when you have the human element at play. I'm not simply writing rude remarks about an essentially worthless entertainment product, I'm harming these fine hardworking folks! Better make any criticisms I may have "constructive"

Like many others I grew up playing BG1 and BG2. They were phenomenal at the time for my 11 year old brain. Much like Fallout, it blew my mind. These were not games, to me they were epic worlds that absorbed my imagination like nothing else could, especially Baldur's Gate 2 with it's detailed graphics and that soundtrack every time the launch screen came up. That game was art. Apparently there was romance in that game but I personally never even knew about it until I joined the Codex and noticed people here talking about it. That's how far removed I think the romance was from the foreground of that game. It was adventure and RPGing FIRST AND FOREMOST and that's what made me excited to play it each and every time.

Now Larian comes along with BG3 and put this shit out front and center for us to suffer, and you expect people to enjoy this garbage? Why even put the Baldur's Gate name on the box if you're going to market the game to faggot zoomers? They didn't play BG1 and BG2. They've never even heard of it in their entire life. Larian are so fucking clueless on who they are making this game for they have defaulted to using sex as a selling point. It's the cheapest and most uncreative decision they could have made.

How does your game compare to BG1 and BG2, Larian? It doesn't even compare. No matter how many poorly written scenes you squeeze in there, it doesn't change the fact your game is filthy and is literally unplayable to anyone who has any taste at all. You took a big shit in the fountain and then marketed it as BG3. This is why I have to quit gaming. It makes my blood boil and I can feel my blood pressure start rising. All it does these days is PISS ME OFF because of these incompetent cunts who can't make a good game even when they have all the money and time in the world. This horseshit industry is done.

No Bioware game has had a day/night cycle since Neverwinter Nights.

Swen's been clear that he doesn't want it to just be cosmetic. He wants them to go all the way or not do it all, and unfortunately that means creating homes and beds and schedules for everybody.

Then he should have gone all the way and created homes and beds and schedules for everybody. Why would anyone pay $70 for video game sex when porn on the internet is free?

Start developing games or fuck off Swen!

It's less of a burden to make cutscenes than it is to make all this for an entire game.

 

[Drakortha]

It's less of a burden to make cutscenes than it is to make all this for an entire game.

And as a result it's less of a worthy sequel to Baldur's Gate 2. They might as well have made it a mobile game. As an old school Baldur's Gate fan it would be just as shit and not worth my time. They'd probably reach their target audience better with a shitty mobile porn game, the zoomers would have ate that up. I don't know why they wasted everyones time with this half arsed garbage.

16 thousand "people" were sucking their dicks at that stream. Let that sink in, and despair.

When I think about Baldur's Gate, "day and night cycles" doesn't come across as something that was important. It was something they had just to have it. Bioware clearly didn't think it was important when they made their spiritual successor.

Pillars of Eternity had the cycles though. Was it a big thing? No.

It's not even about the cycles by themselves. There's a lot more to it than that and you're nitpicking. There's a lot of reasons to pan this game.

Sick perverted people made this.

I have no idea what you're mad about. BG3 is looking like a far more ambitious role playing game than BG.
