is this game THAT good?
Expedition 33's stratospheric user rating
The game flopped harder than most analysts thought when factoring in the paid marketing.
The west won
Japan lost

Yeah. Expect a LOT of seething threads on Anon Babbleeddit to be different
QTEs are... le good?

I cant believe the only good game released this year is the Rebirth port
No, it's an 8 at best. Shiny new things always get overhyped.
No. It looks good, the sound is fantastic, the gameplay was irking me at first but dodging/parry turned out better than I expected and fixed a large problem of turn-based JRPG gameplay, but overall, it's just an ok game.
But when the previous turn based games were abortions like BG3 and Metaphor, "ok game" is already miles ahead of the competition.
500k SALES (not players) in less than 24 hours with a 30 person dev team is a failure
Holy mother of cope and delusion
abortions like BG3
Lmao shut the fuck up you absolute braindead subhuman mong. BG3 is an abortion, but yet you can't even name any RPGs that are a better overall package? Go on, go rattle off a half-dozen different CRPGs that you need to combine the best elements of multiple games just to be able to compete against BG3 by itself, but even then not really because it's mostly just your nostalgia and jaded cynicism speaking.
BG3 has absolutely top-notch
immersion and world-building
free-form, challenging, open-ended combat with a strong focus on environmental interaction
deep mechanics
tons of classes, builds, spells, playstyles
world design and inter-connectivity
quest design, interactivity, and reactivity
player choice and freedom
characters and writing
attention to detail, ability to interact with anything, go anywhere, go in any building, steal anything, kill anyone, story always adapts to your actions
There are many games that are strong in one aspect, and weak in most others. BG3 is as strong in its weakest aspects as most RPGs are in their strongest aspect. It is just such an incredibly well-rounded game, and it especially excels in open-ended environmental-based combat, player choice and freedom, and interactivity/reactivity that are completely untouched by any other comparable RPG in existence.
You lost and got raped. Die mad.
Anon Babble - videogames discussing a new popular release? How could this happen!
looks good
sounds good
isn't written by someone who will implode when not inserting a retarded marvel quip every two seconds
white dev team
Who knew it would be THAT easy?
If you played at 60FPS you didn't beat the game.
It's more like a rythm game + sekiro parry.
a better overall package
Every single RPG with ONE good part got a better overall package. Even a "nice concept, awful execution" like Tides of numenera is better, because it offered something a bit different, a bit unique, a bit memorable, a bit interesting.
BG3 is a miles-high pile of mediocrity, with nothing interesting, nothing beautiful, nothing fun, nothing well-written. Just bland content after bland content, satiating the midwit consumer you are.
Fucking retard.
It’s a good game because like what’s mentioned, the combat of this game makes JRPG less boring and really keeps you engaged through this all or nothing system. Every turn means a lot because you can choose to drag the fight on if you are confident in your reflex or play it safe and take out as much enemies on the board as you can
If you try and play the game in expert level right from the get go the game becomes really fun when you’re forced to understand the enemy attack patterns and timing to get good.
I have a feeling it’s going to be a game where people invent their own challenges and try to beat it without getting hit once with all kinds of wacky builds.
le no
Yes. It takes a grab bag of RPG mechanics from other games (Timed hits from the Mario RPGs/LoD/etc) and sets it in a location/aesthetic that's seldom used.
Based and gameplay pilled
THIS desperate for a gotcha against FF of all JRPGS, not DQ, not Xenoblade, not Persona
It's a western game that has a cute 16 year old girl in it. One who's cool but not in the cringey Hollywood STRONK WOMEN way. I can't tell you how fucking rare that is in >current year
no dual shock buttons prompt
My day is ruined.
I honestly expected more hebeposting about Maelle. Also she likes older men.
This small developer team embarrassed all those big and old developer studios.
Yep, as expected, haven't even played the game, aren't even a CRPG fan, no interesting opinions, just another braindead shitposter spewing drivel purely for a reaction. Do the world a favor and go play in traffic
decent enough game
pretty girls and cool guys
its that simple. take notes, artist guys. you dont even need to make it overtly chuddy or anything, just tread the line
In what way
open-ended environmental-based combat
player choice and freedom
interactivity/reactivity
All three of these elements in BG3 are completely untouched by any other comparable RPG in existence.
A better question is what DOESN'T Baldur's Gate 3 do that is unique, fresh, just bursting with care and attention to detail, and genuine love and fucking passion for the craft? It's like a game from an alternate timeline where devs actually still fucking love gaming and love development, and put the quality of the game above all else.
It's like the midwit IQ meme, where casuals love it because the quality is so far and away superior to everything else out there that it demands respect, and frankly puts AAA studios to shame. Oldheads love it because it's like what a really high quality, high budget, less janky 90s CRPG would be like if devs were still making them today. The only person who does hate BG3 is someone who is so cynical, jaded, and contrarian that they can't just set that aside and immerse themselves in a fantastical adventure, instead they still have to shitpost and be miserable just because others are having fun. Just such a despicable worm of a person loved by no one
why are poorfags acting like the game isn't kino?
The poorfags have no issue telling you it's a masterpiece/utter dogshit
Pretty sure the music is adding 2 points by itself.
BARRY, ARE YOU OK?
ARE YOU OK BARRY?
Squaresister.....
why would barry even be upset or brought into this argument? Wasn't he trying to crash and burn square enix as well seeing as he want's everything not 15 to flop.

I'm only a few hours in, but it is extremely good. It's a simple game, but that's also the reason why it's so polished.
Removing the fog, sharpening filter, most other post processing effects, and forcing it to display in HDR makes it look absolutely gorgeous too.
Only complaints I have are the forced upscaling, hard-coded raytracing, Unreal Engine stutters, and general poor optimization.
he's a seething bingtendie mad his switch 2 threads are getting bumped off so quickly
Turn off steam input, lol if you’re on gamepass
"THE STORY IS ABOUT LOSS IT'S SO SAD"
Modern game for modern audience
It's good, a 8.5/10. But more like the current genre is THAT bad.
Persona is a 100hrs Visual Novel with battles, Trails is the most worthless weeaboo trash ever produced, Xenoblade 1 is the only good title in the series that still has too much fat and could be 40hrs shorter and Yakuza LaD, despite being good, it's still a Yakuza game in everything but the fights.
RPGs have bad gameplay!
okay we added good gameplay to them
making the gameplay better is just a way to trick idiots!
