Baldur's Gate III | Review Thread

[ethomaz]

hey mods why was the Nhomnom guy banned? He was always fair and his critiques were valid, meanwhile you let people like Remij ,who clearly hates good video games, stay in here and troll

I believe the reason was that he crossed the limit of insulting forum members.
Even with his controversial opinions and repeated posts in all threads he should not be banned but he started to insult members that didn’t share the same opinions as him.

I like him and understand his point even if not agree with all of them but I believe he lose a bit himself when engaging in discussions.

Sad you just can't help yourself. Underneath all this bs you could be a good poster but you're just a lost cause.

There are more cutscenes and dialogues in Baldurs Gate 3, Bethesda RPGs or Yakuza than any Sony games. The haters have no issues with these games tho, they even use them for war. Hypocritical double standard.

*sigh*

The majority of BG3's "cutscenes" aren't exactly cutscenes... they're dialog sections with which you participate and choose how your character evolves and how the story progresses. What you're calling cutscenes here... is actually gameplay. What I'm calling cutscenes.. are the type like I posted above... where you're mostly just watching a scene play out and have no agency over what happens during them.

I can't believe you're actually trying to use the fact that an RPG has lots of dialog.. as a counter to what I'm saying. I have no problem with dialog in a game... or TONS of dialog. I love a deep story and deep characters with tons of voice acting... Again... there's a difference between a "cinematic game"... and a game with cinematics..

But you're not going to understand what I mean... It's ok.

Sony could release the exact same game as Baldur's Gate 3 then the goalpost would be moved to you'd rather have a quick cutscene so you could get it over with and go on playing with the REAL gameplay instead of standing there clicking. You know it I know it everybody knows it. You have a deep-seated hatred for Ps fans so you will ALWAYS go against them. Like I'm worried for their safety if you have one in front of you.

Horizon Forbidden West came out last year with more dialog trees and choices and it was criticize for exactly that and called boring by people like you. Give me tons of dialog my ass. It's all about the logo on the box.

Nah. Sony makes a lot of games which aren't cinematic action games. If Sony made a game like BG3... I'd praise the hell out of it..

Let me just put it this way for you... I'd love more Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, Crash, Jack and Daxter, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Gravity Rush, Twisted Metal, Legend of Dragoon type games from Sony, and less over the shoulder action open world cinematic game where you ride a horse, type games.

Not saying they're bad... just that there's enough of them... all their big AAA shit is sliding into the same category. I'd like to see the more experimental and creative Sony games again.

If people supported them they would continue to make them

They sold ok, but modern playstation only wants mass appeal games that sell 10+m or can generate billions of mtx profit. What I wish they'd do is form an alliance of 3rd party studios that fill in that smaller title lineup, and make sure they get resources to make them as good as possible. Which they are kinda doing with stuff like the China Hero project stuff. But I kinda wish they did that with JP games as well, a lot of JP developers are way behind technically and in design philosophy, really the only JP publisher that does cutting edge stuff is square, and a bit of capcom (although not that cutting edge, just look at the open world portion of SF6 to see how they're like a full gen to 1.5 gens behind).

Oh you mean the formula of the games you spent the past half decade jizzing your pants over every possible PC port announcement on Twitter and every forum that didn't ban you?

Always the same script. I miss the old Sony *namedrops old ps1-ps3 games that flopped*. Why do you need Sony to do them specifically? Plenty of indies and 3rd parties already fill that niche on PC, Switch and PS anyway.

Crash 4 came out and was forgotten quick. Crash rumble total flop too.

When the new Twisted Metal drops you'll find something to trash it and shit on it. Mark my words.

Like clockwork.

I still remember people shitting on Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart despite everyone saying they want sony to do more platformers

Yeah he specifically omits Ratchet but Jak and Daxter or Sly are always in those lists. If Sony revives an old franchise then they will find something else. If you've been on forums long enough you know how it goes.

We see right through these clowns

 

[Remij]

Did I say I hated those games?

I said they're all very similar... and that they're all cinematic action open world games. All Sony's major AAA single player games are falling into the same category of game.

Because we LITERALLY just got a Ratchet game ffs

Yea, it's always the same... nothing can be said about Playstation without you whining about it... because apparently I have to agree with you EXACTLY.

Those games flopped.... or they just didn't do AAA numbers so Sony dumped them? Shawn Layden understood the importance of those games... but this new Sony everything needs to be a massive AAA cinematic open world game and become a franchise they can make a universe around and expand to other mediums..

Crash 4 came and did fine. The same shit goes for Activision... they dropped companies working on those games and put them all on fucking COD...

I think your comparison is wrong. BG3 is a genuine CRPG. Uncharted is not.

I believe what @Remij is saying is that when you take a look at the game Uncharted as a whole, it features a shit ton of cinematics compared to most games in that same genre. Sony has always been known for making "movie-like" cinematics in their games while implementing the average tried-n-true gameplay mechanics that most action/adventure games have. It's obviously nothing wrong with that design as many gamers love it but it's repeated way too much.

 

[Frozone]

But people *would* support them. The big problem with studios now (and not just Sony) is that they are afraid to experiment with a new IP and disrupt the regular inflow of sales. It's especially worse this generation since it started as not a single AAA developer has risked indulging in a new IP. And it shows with all these sequels that have the same gameplay as their predecessors. I'm tired of the same old Uncharted, Last of Us, Horizon, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Diablo, Doom, Resident Evil, Zelda, Spiderman, etc.. etc..

BG3 is even a sequel but at least it's so far from it's predecessor in gameplay, length, and design that it's practically a new IP. Same goes for FROM's Elden Ring. Bethsoft, no matter what anyone says, decided to try something totally different and I hope they will be rewarded for their efforts.

They did get all mostly shifted to CoD. When the deal goes thru and Kotick retired I don’t think it’ll stay that way for long tho. But they might also release a new BR every 2-3 years and that’d be wild. We’ll see. Shit is changing.

CoD is close to only becoming Warzone and a lot of those studios will be needed by them elsewhere I’d bet.

As I said you just repeat the usual bullshit from the xbots. Did you play Sackboy, Returnal, Dreams, Demons Souls RE, Astrobot, Ratchet or any of the PSVR games they put out? Of course you didn't. Those games don't count.

I'm tired of the same old TLOU, Horizon and Spider-Man. Sony literally made 2 of them with years between releases and the sequel is not even out yet. The last Uncharted was in 2016

I'm putting you in the clown category with your boyfriend Remi.

So the conversations above have nothing to do with balduers gate 3 ?

You guys need to go back to topic bro dont derail the thread with other games
