Thank you!
Third time's the charm I hope. We had Elder Ring, Tears of the Kingdom and now Baldur's Gate 3.
Big budget big games from different studios with no bullshit attached to them, selling and being celebrated like the hot cakes they are.
I've never tried one of these games myself, but I'm happy about all the fuzz coming from this game!! I hope other companies take it as an example c:
They will take it as an example. They will release more fantasy crpgs but will not learn not to include micro transactions
I generally have a 1 year delay for Triple-A games, to see if they're still relevant and then maybe look into buying. I might shorten that time for this game.
I essentially never pay full price for games but the combination of gameplay and the studio itself being gamer-friendly I think it's gonna be in my library soon.
Anyone here liking it? I haven’t played.
If you're into RPGs, or DnD, or general fantasy stuff, I would highly recommend it. I haven't finished it yet, but the first 20 or so hours have been incredibly fun. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a game this much, the reviews aren't wrong with this one.
I'm not into DnD nor fantasy generally, but I am absolutely loving it. 40 hours in so far and I can't get enough. I have the itch where I'm just thinking about spells all day when I'm not playing
If you feel this way, you should definitely look in to getting into D&D. This game is the closest you're going to get to playing a D&D campaign in a video game as far as translation to the medium goes.
If you like this game, you will absolutely love D&D.
I will say it definitely has brought up my interest again. My ex used to play and I've watched some people play before, but I just feel like I'd have a hard time. I think it's just my insecurity of needing to be good at things and I feel like I'd be bad at playing. Feels like the pressure would get to me to think of good ideas and such.
