why the hate on BG3

[Swen]

Stop coping with you archaic trash boomer.

Cope more semite, BG2 in its updated format couldn't even score in the 80's on metacritic. Complete and utter failure, an archaic rpg that belongs to the trash heap of gaming history.
Hell it being RTWP is enough to ignore this garbage. Thank god BG3 will be a real D&D game.

It has become blatantly obvious that this is your alt account, rusty_shackleford

Sure thing kraut, let the mods check our accounts then.

bg2 is a very serious game for serious gamers
like when you have your pregnant wife with the personality of a child fighting in combat while the insane, retard-level IQ ranger is yelling at his hamster and the gnome illusionist is telling you another story about turnips

FACT: BG2's characters are more appropriate for the Forgotten realms setting than BG3's characters.

Stop coping with you archaic trash boomer.

Post the actual game's metacritic fucking frog. Not the "remake" whose release was plagued by hundreds of bugs due to Beamdog being completely incompetent that no one plays.

Who cares about game journalists?

Game journalists in 00s are completely different than modern game journos. Modern ones can't even understand the concept of TARGET AUDIENCE!! They keep demanding retarded stuff like Afropolish guys in TW3 and black woman noble in KDC, easy mode in Dark Souls, complain that you need torches, elemental spells or bombs to deal with swarms and that swords aren't effective vs swarms and so on, they can't even beat cuphead tutorial and understand basic mechanics.

You criticizing BG2 is not ab problem. You taking this retarded game journos seriously is a problem. Look to game journalists in 90s. Way better. And guess what, they are reviewing a AD&D game with 4 party size and turn based combat. They are clearly not judging the game as how the most retarded player will judge but as how a fan of Strategic Simulations inc and AD&D would judge it. A modern game journo would write "a 4 yo child with 50 IQ can't play it, so it sucks" with zero regard to the game's target audience.

archaic

Archaic RPG >>>> Modern RPG.

If you look to FPS, sure in map design they declined, but in other aspects, they "inclined". BF1 has way better ballistics compared to BF2. You have way more weapon variety and scenario destruction in modern FPS compared to old ones. With RPGs is different, there are just no reason to play modern ones. AS 99% of modern RPG's are merely gear farming cooldown managing low lethality chore.

If wasn't by old school RPG's, I would be a pure FPS and survival game gamer. I would't play the modern ones.

How old are you bro? Imagine coping with these old DOS games just LMFAO!

There's a reason we stopped making those games grandpa...THEY SUCK!

 

[Cryomancer]

Imagine coping with these old DOS games just LMFAO!

DOS has a lot of great RPGs. Daggerfall, M&M IV, all gold box, U7(...)

Modern RPG's sucks. If wasn't by the old ones and indies, I would be a exclusive FPS and survial game gamer. Nobody deserves this endless low lethality gear farming, cooldown managing "games" with zero concern about mechanics and lore being in line. Most AAA FPS are awful but at least you have some good ones like BF1. With RPG, only old ones and indies worth my time.

BTW, I'm 30 yo.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

there's only two DOS games worth playing

Ultima Underworld and System Shock?

 

[Stavrophore]

Why cant we just agree to stop shilling and smearing games based on some personal issues or ego?
For example you will not find any post made by me where i shilled witcher 3 or cyberpunk.

Also Swen Vincke humour is not funny, no amount of shilling will convince people, actually it will do the opposite.

reminder that DOS1 & 2 are both rpgcodex GOTYs and larian didn't even have to rig the poll

Such an archaic and utter failure...that a 3rd installment bearing the name would surely be a poor investment...the I.P is completely worthless...

Because of my big compassionate heart I agreed with Wotc to finally make the first good game in the Baldur's Gate franchise. After my big success with DOS2 they basically begged.

Imagine hating a beloved game series simply because it has party-based RTwP combat, which you are too autistic to master.

The way I see it, the main problem with RTwP isn't that it's too complex, it's that it makes designers think they can get away with throwing in tons of low effort trash mob encounters.

List of critiques made by BG3 fans against BG2

List of critiques made by BG1/2 fans against BG3

• Looks like DOS3 with a 5E mod build upon it
• Second worst ruleset
• Too slow animations

• Too slow development, years in EA and only few classes being launched
• Single summon limit, you can't have a mage hand + a familiar at the same time

• (...)

BG3 fanboys : "you don't like BG3 cuz it is turn based" - I like tons of TB games.

Trash mobs in a high lethality RtWP game is not a serious problem; You throw a fireball and end the trash encounter quickly.

Trash mobs shouldn't be there in the first place. They only intensify the murderhobo problem in CRPGs.

Inxile eliminated all trash mobs in Torment: Numa Numa.

Look how that turned out.

Just implement a spell like M&M VI~VIII Armageddon and problem solved.

https://mightandmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Magic_(MM6)
Armageddon: Costs 150 spell points. This spell is the town killer. It can only be cast once per day by Apprentices to Dark Magic, and only outdoors at that. Armageddon inflicts 50 points of damage plus 1 point of damage for every point of Dark skill the character has to every creature on the map, including all the characters.

• Normal: Works once per day.
• Expert: Works twice per day.
• Master: Works thrice per day.

This magiucal nuke is amazing to clear the elemental planes in M&M 8 - day of the destroyer.

Murderhoboing with a OHK spell is still murderhoboing.

So when are you going to start making a game instead of a cutscene simulator?

Murderhoboing is where all the gameplay is found. If it moves, kill it.
