They might blow past Fallout 4 by Sunday. Congratuations Larian, you're in the big leagues. World's most popular turn-based RPG.
But Fallout 4 is shit.

Also, none of those people are playing BG3 for being a turn-based RPG, they are playing it because it's a game tailor made for faggots that just so happens to be turn-based. If anything, most of the normies will probably just see the combat as an obstacle to push through to get to the next gay cutscene. So it's hardly a win for turn based RPG's.

still not entirely sure how we went from there being negative interest in this game for years (angry codexers aside) to everyone on planet earth playing it because of hot throbbing bear sex or whatever
The change happened when they announced that Jaheira and Minsc would make appearances. That's all it took.

Larian fucked it up.

The shills can cite sales numbers and concurrent players on Steam all they want, but it proves nothing. In the longer term it is irrelevant. What matters is what Baldur's Gate 3 turned out to be.

you have much to learn about fake interest in a fake (ie latching onto fake as hell woke crying shit vs ppl actually playing the game)

Codexers are good actors, if I ever make a movie I will sure hire a few hypocritical, two-faced cunts from the BG3 thread.

The anti-Fallout 3, an installment that adds a ton of C&C and turns a real-time game into turn-based, resulting in massive success?

It's a sequel in name only isn't it? Litereally nowt to do with the other games.

no it only has bhaal-centric plot, the entire city of baldur's gate and a bunch of characters in common with those games. so yes sequel in name only

Larian should dab on Baldur's gate fans and propose to sell the first two baldur's gate games with turn-based combat.

Whoa, It's like I read this ironic joke already on Reddit. Crazy!
Well, you're the redditor here so I bow to your knowledge in these matters
You made the claim "we rolled a 20", care to explain who this "We" are?

Seems to me you might just be another Larian fag. Those faggots are like the fucking BORG. Some shitty RPG comes out that affirms their shit tastes, and they go around making proclamations all over the internet that "We're winning" like it's a fucking gay parade.

So who the fuck is "We?" Not me. Not those who cared about getting a respectible third entry in the series. We all lose with BG3, it's a game that caters and panders to the worst demographics of gamers, which just so happens to be the majority of consumers these days. And then you go and make a dumb ironic joke like "we rolled a 20". So are you a FAGGOT, then?
