Ja3 weapons have noticeable shorter range for weapons making it play more unrealistic. As a result melee is also way too good even in situations that are not night and sneaking.

Presuming that is correct, does that make the combat more or less complex? because realism is not depth.
You sound like a real nuXcom retard. Most of the time I care for realism more than boardgame shit design.

I do enjoy both the new and the old Xcom just as much as I enjoy JA 2 and JA3 (not 1 though, I have never played it).

Speaking of RTS it would have been cool to see Aliens: Dark Descent make the poll. Not enough xenomorph throat fucking I guess.

Getting dunked on by 4chan. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Dunked how? By posting a paragraph that everything in it is factually wrong. :lol: The thread for JA3 is 100+ pages, mechanics are pretty much the same depth and only retards that think Soulds games or Witcher 3 are RPGs say JA is not.
It is well known in codex lore that ja2 is not an RPG because laptop guy does not have stats. I have not played JA3, so I cannot comment on whether it is an RPG or not.
Lol, the guy who turns the pages of the book in the intro cinematic of Icewind Dale doesn't have stats either. Has the codex always been this dumb?

That's Belhifet, the final boss. He absolutely has stats.

While the contarian result is funny, anyone who would give BG3 a 1 is absolutely unserious. I have a nice list of posters whose opinions on games I can just outright ignore.

I gave it a 5, though I had a 5/10 scale in mind.
It certainly wouldn't make anywhere near the top 10 of all time, and barely compares to the original games.
Still, it is the best you can expect nowadays, at least among the AAA RPGs. Since there are barely any, and none even try to be a real RPG.

What? BG3 is not comparable to 1 and 2? How? That's just stupid. Hard to take BG3 haters seriously when they say dumb shit like this. Though to be clear I rated it 2/5, was debating between 2 or 3 out of 5.

PoE1 is closer to BG1/2 than BG3.

Do you only participate in BG3 threads? 35 alerts is pretty low.
Yes, this one and the other Bg3 thread right now in general.

Quite rare I have this many reactions, a few hours ago it was 64
