97/100, highest score in 16 years

No one cares about the critic score. All you have to do is put enough cinematic and flashy stuff in the one to two hours of gameplay for them to pretend it's a good game. Whereas user score would more significant because it may actually be people who complete the game. For example, Fallout 4 has 87 on metacritic for PS4 but 6.8 in user score. There often can be a disparity between user experience and critic hype.

Here's an overrated Kojima game designed to appease critics who like to fellate Kojima. High metascore, relatively low user score

Whereas BG3 has 9.2 for user scores. This is really what you should be bragging about.

Though that being said, user score can be argued to be just popularity and not necessarily quality.

User scores on metacritic are worthless since everyone can publish a review and score. The only user scores that matter are the steam ones.

With supposedly 2.5 million in sales and 170k reviews, yet only 2% of users have even completed the game. Even if we were to suppose those sales were all on steam, then that would be at most 50k people who even completed the game and left a review leaving at least 120k people who reviewed the game potentially only playing an hour or two before reviewing the game and putting it down

Most of the achievements anyone has gotten are all in Act I.

Why? You can have 5 minutes in the game and still make 10/10 or 0/10 reviews.

Because you actually have to pay for the game. So it weeds out much of the trolls

PROVOKE THE BLADE
AND SUFFER ITS STING

Then you go to camp and this faggot negro is wearing this twink outfit with his belly button showing. Gayer than fucking Astarion. No longer this was the most unpopular character ever.

Reloading the game just so I don't recruit him(can't seem to be able to kick him out).

 

[Eisenheinrich]

Is the city actually huge as hyped as all hells by swen and his minions ?

I mean, you can google the map of Act 3 and see for yourself.

Let's see:

Complete Act 1 map

Act 3 complete map (Zoomed out a bit more)

Going by this it seems like Act 3 map is smaller than Act 1, at least one third.

I'm actually surprised 2% even got to the end in such a massive game.

3E killed the Paladin class by making it more about numbers than roleplaying. 5E takes a dump on its grave.

"5E takes a dump...", come on.

It's always been more about what the DM does with the rules than about the rules as written.

In my experience so far, this game gives you all the room you could want to roleplay either a classic paladin or an edgy revisionist one, so nothing to lose sleep over.

In fact of all the games that have allowed me to play a Paladin, this is the one which gives me the most room to express his character. And I guess the same is valid for the other 11 classes.

Despite my complains, the game has offered plenty of Paladin-specific options that were very appropriate and I'm still early on. I'm mostly baffled that some retard in Larian thought these specific options were fitting for a paladin, especially since there are so many others that actually are appropriate, including one in the same dialogue. And before you start talking about Paladins being beholden to Tenets, not alignment, let's take a look at what these Tenets actually say:

Courage. Stride dauntlessly into action.
Compassion. Show clemency when prudent, and lend your arm to those in need.
Duty. Tend your responsibilities, obey just laws, and support those entrusted to your care.

Kindle the Light. Through acts of kindness, enkindle the light of hope in the bleakest hollows of despair.
Shelter the Light. Where love blooms, stand against the devilry that would snip its stem.
Preserve Your Own Light. Delight in culture and small joys to preserve the light in your own heart.

Fight the Greater Evil. Exerting your wisdom, identify the higher morality in any given instance, and fight for it.
No Mercy for the Wicked. Chasten those who dole out their villainy by wiping their blight from the world forever.

I guess there's nothing about honour and lying in there, so I'll have to begrudgingly accept lying to get Laezel out of her cage without a fight (though there should have been an option to persuade them with the truth there), but "Lie to an innocent, paralyzed girl that enemies are approaching and her life is in danger, extort her to heal her, then break your word, take her money and run." is against all three flavours of Tenets! Even Vengeance, the edgelord option, says "identify the higher morality and fight for it".

This is similar to BECMI's solution of giving access to Paladin-like classes like the Avenger and Knight for chaotic and neutral name-level characters respectively.

Lol Wrath mods add *three* different Pal wannabe variants.

So? Is 5 minutes enough for a review?

Lol do you even have steam?

When a steam user review is published, everyone can see how long they played the game.

Get with the times old man lol

edit: scroll down to see the user reviews

Lol are you moving the goal post now? You just said time matters for reviews.

Take your L and move on old man

I like how you build matters also a lot outside of combat that was refreshing.

[*-*/\--/\~]

Anyone playing english version has missing text in books problem?

Because I looted smut books from brothel and I can't read them!

You mean you miss the "gems" like this, showing how much those hacks care about the original? What a tragedy.

You depressed incels could never make a masterpiece, BG3 is better than the old RTWP trash in almost every possible way.

"MUH END OF WESTERN CIVILIZZZATIONN AAAAA!!!"

LMFAO at you tards

Honestly that image is actually pissing me off now and i may end up putting down the game just for that.

I had no idea they were capable of sinking that low. That's all i needed in my life, an image of Xan using his sword as a dildo. And i can already imagine the thought process here. Xan was kinda of a weakling in BG1 right? So let's make him gay, but let's be coy about it so we'll pretend we are making a joke. Isn't it funny? He fucks himself in the ass with his sword when bored so teh hilarity.

This game feels like eating a perfectly good sandwitch except every so often you get a lump of shit in your mouth every time you take a bite. I had some fun talking to the animals and thought the dialog you get with them was pretty BG1 like in humor. Then i gotta see that shit and now my mood is soured.

for me it's the gay Yoshimo X CHARNAME fanfic

There was such a thing? The writers really tried to outdo themselves in terms of woke degeneracy.

No, hence why steam user reviews are good. What do you not get?

You can even filter user reviews for X time played

No one gonna talk about map size? Are we just ignoring the big pink Hollyphant in the middle of the room?

 

[Black]

hence why steam user reviews are good.

Because people who play for a tiny amount of time and see nothing of the game can leave reviews?

Like he said, you can filter the reviews by how long someone played. You don't like 5 min reviews, filter for 30+ hours, easy

Did you seriously quote yourself to ask why no one is commenting on what you posted quickly enough?

Only about 1/3 of the reviewers have played the game more than 20 hours

Given that it's supposed to take at least 75 hours or so to complete the game, only 22k reviewers could be said to have potentially completed the game.

The vast majority of reviews are worthless due to this alone. This is if any of the reviewers even justify their reviews. The majority don't so they're useless too even for people who have completed the game. .

It's literally the best system we have for user reviews, please do tell me if there is another one?

MerchantKing

You can filter user reviews for X time played. Same question for you, what other user review site/system do we have that is publicly available and better?

Mine's bigger.

So far the best defense against ass-raype seems to be restartitis/rest-minning. Yet to encounter any other than Asstarion trying to feed, which is classic phantasy trope (for degeneracy).
