Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

At least Pete Hines retired, so maybe TES6 will be good. Though they'd first need 1-2 years to pay the colossal tech debt they have with the egine.

Don't drink so much because you can't achieve this level of optimism sober.

We all know BG3 is woke trash, but seeing a TB CRPG smash the fuck out of all the usual normie shite like Zelda, Mario, Spiderman etc. has been utterly joyous. It's caused a right shitstorm on some social media groups, with one FB group having a admin who's going round banning people left, right and center over them reposting this claim him made...

But what's most satisfying is watching these completely dumb cunts trying their bollocks off to get into the game and failing, because it's now the trend. "It's complicated!" is something I'm reading everywhere lol. Stuff like this is brill...

It's a real watershed moment spotlighting the dumbest gamers out there, and it's been long overdue.

At first I wondered why BG3 is listed as an "action" role-playing game then I realized, "...oh."

You wondered because you didn't get any action.

You're very mean, Black.

I was playing on balanced, and now I will start again on tactical.

I beat it on balanced, too, and realized, apart from a few of boss battles, the game is piss-easy, and I should've started with tactician from the jump.

Tactician was also extremely easy. I still regret even downloading the game for free especially when you aren't really allowed to make custom companions without an exploit and it's pretty much a cutscene simulator with some boring gameplay in between cutscenes.

I think it's amazing how 90% of people out there live in a parallel world where PC games appear to have never existed.

I see this constantly, from comments people make down to youtube videos i occationally end up catching. You'll have people play stuff like Witcher 3 and say things like it's their favored RPG since Chrono Trigger (and it's always fucking Chronoe Trigger), as if the RPG genre begun and ended with that fucking game UNTIL modern times.

I already cannot stand consoletards on a normal day but when i see shit like that i simply feel this burning hatred for them.

FromSoft even being in that list has to be some kind of wierd glitch in the matrix. How the fuck do you go from lame ass shit like God of War to Sekiro.

Simple, it was a shitty year in the gaming industry and something had to be chosen. There were a lot of shitty games released this year, but luckily since then the standards have increased a bit and a Single Player MMO would end up worse than Starshit today.

You know what's the funniest? Virtually every one of their games was nominated in previous years, but it was only with Sekiro that they managed to win for the first time.

As one of the more consoletardy posters on the forum, I completely agree. Their ignorance of gaming is incredible. If anyone brings Chrono Trigger into the "Greatest RPG ever" conversation it's an instant red-flag that said player has played fuck all games, or is carrying some level of retardational dysfunction. Their blinkered desire to dismiss games which they haven't heard of is hilarious too.

This might give you a laugh as well...

I find it amazing people can live without a PC in general tbh. Like, I was a working class rubbing rag from a pit village who's family didn't have a pot to piss in during the minor's strike in the 80's, yet we still grabbed ourselves a BBC Micro when we could because anyone with half a brain could see how essential computers were going to be to society over the coming years.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Even if you never owned a PC surely one should know something about PC games if anything due to cultural influence?

I mean i never owned a console as a kid and never played either Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy but i sure have heard of both. How the hell does one play games his whole life and NOT have any clue about the existence of an entire platform as big and as influential as the PC is?

 

[Modron]

Limiting their gaming news exposure to resetera, kotaku, and specific reddit subforums probably.

 

[Faarbaute]

Falksi It's funny how a lot of those comments read like they are having a life crisis over this. "I'm going to play it some more but if I don't like it I feel like I made a mistake" haha

 

[Modron]

Most codexers felt the same way about Pillars of Eternity's OC so can't really fault them there.

 

[gurugeorge]

"Tiny people and lots of different options" LMAO

 

[Crispy]

I mean what more perfectly describes our hobby?

 

[Faarbaute]

Do they feel invalidated by the fact that the game has won a popularity contest, therefore having been bestowed with merit, in their view, and their own inability to appreciate the game somehow reflects badly upon themselves?

They don't even like the genre lmao.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Kind of right about the story though.
BG3 opens with a messy casserole of D&D slop thrown on the screen.
I would be imagine it must be very fuckin' confusing for people unfamiliar with Forgotten Realms.

What's surprising about that? There's tons of gamers who are barely aware that games besides FIFA even exists. There have to be people only slightly less ignorant about their hobbies.
